    Security Thoughts on trucks other than TRX

    Again, that's what insurance is for. I think you guys are a little too paranoid. If they want it, they're going to get it. Even if you have an alarm, kill switch, the club or whatever they can still tow it away. Most thieves are not this high tech. Car jacking has increased because MOST thieves...

    Security Thoughts on trucks other than TRX

    As long as your key has the chip in it, I really don't believe in getting any other security system. They're not going to be able to start it without the key, so they would have to tow it away. If they're willing to do that, they're going to be able to steal mine. That's why I pay insurance. I...

    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    My point is you completely missed my point. I'm not interested in something that is marginally faster than the 5.7 (or the HO which I wouldn't get anyway). All I really care about is reliability. How many generations of the 5.7 were there? It's been around a while. Plus my '23 is near the end of...

    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    Maybe your reading comprehension isn't so good? Read what I wrote. I'll summarize: I've know about the '25 with the new I6 Turbo for many months and DON'T WANT IT. Bought one with a 5.7 last Sunday. Did not want to wait until the end of the year when there would be less selection of the 5.7. If...

    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    I think more apples to apples is the non HO. Sure, the HO would be awesome and clearly more HP. The standard I6 is still going to be a marginal improvement in HP and MPG. So if somehow my '23 gets stolen or totaled in the next year or so, I'm looking for a used '24 or earlier. If the '26 is...

    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    Just barely though. We're not talking night and day numbers here. Also at the cost of more moving parts and generally a more complicated engine. More chance of having 'turbo issues' that get costly. The 5.7 has more than enough power for my needs and can tow my Jeep on a trailer. As I said...

    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    Just picked up a '23 Big Horn with the 5.7. My wife wanted to wait until the end of the year to purchase. I was able to talk her into getting a '23 since they had some good discounts (20% off MSRP). I was nervous about waiting because I figured it might be slim pickings of the left over '24's by...

    Granite crystal metallic thread

    Sounds correct to me. At one point when I asked a salesman what nicer features come with the Laramie, one of the first things he mentioned is the hood.

    Granite crystal metallic thread

    Maybe it's a 2023 thing? I was looking specifically for left over '23 Sport models. Of the 6 available within an hour, none of them have the nicer hood. Probably going to limit myself to a 33" tire, so looks like I can do that without a level. I do eventually want to use it for towing, so...

    Granite crystal metallic thread

    Just picked up a '23 Granite Crystal Sport that they still hadn't sold. Only thing I'm not crazy about appearance wise is the wheels. So will start checking out all 38 pages looking for wheels I like. I like many of the black wheels. Also like the copper colored. Saw someone that is somewhat...
