    New truck help/advice

    What is the actual difference in monthly spending? $15-$20? I’ll be forward here, if $20 a month is going to bust your budget, maybe consider a much cheaper truck.

    New truck help/advice

    I honestly couldn’t tell you. The only time I find myself on a highway, I am towing my boat. With the boat 3500 +/- lbs., 12-13 mpg.

    Newbie Missing iPod. Anyone with huge music libraries?

    Give Bluetooth an honest try. In years past, I would NEVER recommend listening to good audio over Bluetooth but the hardware has improved. When comparing my iPhone via Bluetooth vs USB thumb drive, the iPhone over Bluetooth wins in sound quality. This is most likely due to the iPhone having a...

    New truck help/advice

    Gas mileage and acceleration are all dictated by your foot. On a recent in-town run with traffic, traffic lights, 2 stops into stores etc I was able to get 20mpg by the truck gauge with 3.92s and 34”. I mention the truck gauge because with my tires, I probably got 20.5-21 as I am not speed...

    New truck help/advice

    All of the models with the exception of a Rebel come with approximately 32” tires, including the ORP. Rebel has 33”. If you get an ORP, you’ll probably want to fill the wheel wells a little more with new tires. Leveling can be done with several different aftermarket packages available that...

    Negative Equity

    FWIW, my dealer sent me an e-mail just a few minutes ago "Your last chance at our exclusive offer". This would be the same e-mail they've been sending me for 3 months, they were last chance then as well. Incentives will be there for 19s until the 20s come out, then they'll get better on the...

    Is there anything that you “ regret “ adding to your Ram ?

    Side steps. It was a must have for me on a new truck purchase simply because I didn’t want to have to order and install them as I’ve done on several prior trucks. They lasted about a month. Lol. I replaced them with different steps that I felt looked more in place with the styling of the truck...

    _my 19 Ram had an Electrical fire!!- Pics now uploaded

    I was expecting to see some serious flames! Good thing not though. But yeah, obviously a wire met with ground somewhere. Should be a pretty simple fix, pending parts can be obtained quickly. I’d call the dealer and tell them to come flatbed the truck and that you don’t want to risk it...

    pull the trigger or wait, last day tomorrow

    I wouldn’t worry about the discounts personally. The discounts just seem to get better and better over time. Even if they don’t, they don’t go away from where they are now. Find your perfect vehicle, don’t compromise and then work the price.

    4 holes in the Bumper

    Ooh ooh! Let me try! If they didn’t come with holes, we would have a thread titled “Why no holes in the bumper for plates”. ;)

    How do you wash your RAM?

    How did you wash your last vehicle? I’d say stick with that.

    Thinking of trading 15' F150 3.5 ecoboost for a new Ram 1500! What say you?

    True but theae Trucks aren’t even broken in yet. Many members are posting their results with less than 5k on their trucks, some even less than 1k.

    Thinking of trading 15' F150 3.5 ecoboost for a new Ram 1500! What say you?

    FWIW, my 14 Ram 5.7 with 3.92s got 1 mpg better all around than my 11 F-150 3.5 Ecoboost with 3.55s.

    Locking truck while on.

    Start your truck up, leave your FOB on the doorstep and take a ride. Throw a bike in the bed just in case. ;). Let us know!

    Electronic Quirks & Remote Start - Coincidence?

    Sorry, this is going to be long, no other way to explain this briefly. Today I had my first electronics "Quirk", my backup camera screen was just black. I went back to park, back to reverse, same problem, whatever, went on a quick ride to the convenience store to get some trash bags. At the...

    CarPlay minimum volume with mapping

    I haven’t tried navigation since so I really can’t say.

    CarPlay minimum volume with mapping

    On the truck’s volume knob. I didn’t touch the phone.

    CarPlay minimum volume with mapping

    I just used google maps yesterday on my iPhone. Volume was loud, I adjusted the volume while she was speaking and it stayed at that volume for subsequent prompts, it did not affect the level of the music. Works as should.

    Suspension Leaning Side to Side

    Measure it when your gas tank is full and then when near empty. That is probably the reason.

    Trying to negotiate the purchase of a 2019 Laramie

    Aiming for $10k off invoice would be $15k off sticker or MSRP. $15k is really hard to achieve. $11-$14k should be do-able by just experience, reading threads here as well as current advertising. Throw in the inequity you have of $4k (pending it turns out the way you estimate) so you’re asking...
