    Grrrr!!!! Paint Chips by Morons!

    Another update. The insurance company called me. They are sending me a check for a little over $2k. It is up to me to get it fixed to my satisfaction. Since this was a liability claim and not a vehicle claim per se, they did not even document my vehicle so to speak so there would be no Carfax...

    Grrrr!!!! Paint Chips by Morons!

    Just an update. A reputable detailer looked at it and gave me his opinion. I’ll reserve the discussion until the insurance is settled as the insurance company sent an appraiser this morning. The appraiser didn’t care how big a scratch was or how many chips or scratches were on any specific...

    Fuel Tank Size recommendation

    My 14 Ram had the 32 gallon tank (or 33, whatever it was) and this time around I thought if it had it or not, no big deal. The reason, I always steal ;) my wifes’s gas grocery points but it will only allow you to take 25 gallons and the pump shuts off. After that, the discount is gone so I only...

    Grrrr!!!! Paint Chips by Morons!

    Please excuse the large photo. Circled and arrowed are the chips in the paint. No dings fortunately. I have a meeting with a shopnthat does Ceramic Coating set up as these guys know how to prep paint. You would think after the morons heard a few hits they would have stopped. Nah, just kept...

    Grrrr!!!! Paint Chips by Morons!

    The inner flames were blazing for sure. I would have liked to handle it the way I would have 20 years ago ;) but I've learned that just costs me money then. ;) A few of the nicks are nail noticeable. Agreed about a body shop vs. a detail shop. There is a Detailer that does Ceramic Coating a...

    Grrrr!!!! Paint Chips by Morons!

    Short story.......... Neighbor’s Landscapers chipped the hell out of my truck. Long story......... My neighbor is having some sod installed at the edge of his property, Landscapers decided to level his ground using a weed whacker, sending stones all over the side of my 1 week old black...

    Future rebates and incentives

    Oh, and FWIW, my immediate dealer is offering $13k off sticker right now via commercial. Of course it is stock #xxxxx but if they are offering that, I would expect $13k off any current incentive vehicle, ie, Big Horn. Makes me mad as they didn’t have a vehicle in stock I wanted and I “only” LOL...

    Future rebates and incentives

    The one sales associate told me, I’ve been in this business for 19 years, they never go worse, only better.

    Future rebates and incentives

    You may have received 25% from your dealer but published FCA incentives were never or will they ever be 25%.

    Future rebates and incentives

    According to the many sales associates I spoke with, they always get better on the same model year, never worse.

    2 new things about my 19' that surprised me...

    They are features depending on the trim level in prior years. My 2014 Big Horn did have this feature as now my 19 has. I think what I pressed me more now, lol, is that my 19 has a sunglasses holder on the ceiling. Always bugged me that my 14 didn’t have that.

    3.21 vs 3.92

    @techieanalyst said it perfectly, I have noticed a similar experience between 3.21 and 3.92. FWIW, I owned a 2011 F150 with a 3.5 Ecoboost and 3.55 gears. When I moved to my 2014 Ram with 5.7 and 3.92s, on average I saw a 1 mpg increase making the Ram better on gas. The 2.7 is going to work...

    No electrical outlets (110V, 400W)< 2019 Laramie trim

    Mine was built 6/18 and although it has Level 2 on the sticker, there is no AC outlets listed on the sticker whereas the website configurator says it is to receive them. Being it is not on the sticker, I really don’t have a leg to stand on but to be honest with myself, my 14 had it and I never...

    Bed Carpet?

    My bed mat arrived and it appears to fit. It is the Access "19-ON RAM 57 BOX (NON-RAM BOX)" Version, Part #25040239 This is everything you get in the package. Note that it comes rolled up so you'll want to leave it out in the sun to flatten down. Being I live in Pa where it seems to rain...

    New to RAM guy

    Welcome to the brand. Don’t sweat the complaints. Most people who post to the internet about issues are highly outnumbered by people who don’t have issues.

    I found the only cheap thing in the limited interior

    Not piling on but one thing that really bugged me about the Laramie was that beautiful stitching all over the dash to only find out it was hard plastic and not real leather or even pleather.

    UConnect 12” media abilities

    Well call me surprised and impressed. NTFS does work. That makes me back pedal on the SSD drive though. While my standard HD spun up and the system recognized it was connected, it being NTFS was not the issue with reading it. With @202snowman just trying an SSD with similar results, that throws...

    UConnect 12” media abilities

    I’ll go format a thumb drive with NTFS and try it. I really doubt it though. FAT32 is universal, NTFS is not.
