    Interior rattle back window/behind rear seat, headliner and dtiver door

    My roof vibrates bad when a car pulls up next to me with subs playing heavy bass music. That's really my only complaint about these 5th gens. Must be the lighter steel they use or something. I turned my bass down to -4 on my radio.

    Pedal commander vs JMS pedalmax

    Why on earth would u ever need to drive 103 mph ? These trucks should top out at 80 mph imo. There is no reason to risk other people's lives on the road even if u don't value your own life !!

    Towed First Time Today

    1/2 tons don't have the weight in the rear end like a 3/4 ton does. That's why u get the sway. 3/4 ton will pull that 24 ft trailer nice & straight.

    Towed First Time Today

    You definitely need a 2500. That's a big trailer your pulling. I can't believe u drive 75 mph pulling a 24 ft trailer !! I never go over 65 mph pulling my little 6x12 enclosed single axle trailer. If it's windy I stay under 55 mph !! Rather be safe than locked up in prison for killing someone on...

    Laramie to Bighorn, crew to quad, anyone done so?

    I just googled CC vs. Quad. We are talking about a measly 9 inch difference in bed length. But the difference inside the cab is huge. An adult can't even sit in a quad cab without spreading their legs wide open. As far as Diesel vs. HEMI I don't know why anyone would buy a diesel? It is slower...

    Laramie to Bighorn, crew to quad, anyone done so?

    The main thing I wish I had was the keyless entry. Otherwise the BH suits me just fine. Quad cab is pretty much worthless. Even without kids a CC is nice to put stuff back there that u don't want outside in your bed. The 5.7 inch bed holds everything just fine. Your talking less than a foot...

    Why is the crew cab with the 6.4 bed not a popular option?

    Let me guess, your in the concrete business? Those are the only guys who drive 1 tons. I side houses. The 1/2 ton does me just fine. Had a 3/4 ton Chevy when I used to pull dump trailers. Traded it when I started pulling a 6x12 enclosed & realized i didn't need that much truck any longer.

    Why is the crew cab with the 6.4 bed not a popular option?

    Because stores barely make parking spots big enough for trucks with the short bed as it is. It would suck parking a long bed. I've been in construction 20 yrs. My short bed CC suits me just fine. I have a bed extender & a 12 ft enclosed trailer with a ladder rack when needed. My short bed fits...

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Not too happy to hear these 5th gen still have the exhaust leakage problem with the broken bolts. I got rid of my 2013 Ram because of that. Drove it for 2 years with a cold start up tick. I wasn't sure if it was broken bolts or lifters. Didn't want to deal with it either way. I had 73,000 on it...

    Problems filling gas tank

    I've had a lot of issues with this at different gas stations. At Costco I have to hold the handle the whole time at a certain angle. Other gas stations I have to hold the handle the whole time also. I have to find the right angle. It's a real pain in the you know what.

    Hope u don't need a truck anytime soon

    Just for fun I looked at a half dozen local dealers online last night. Cheapest Ram 1500 with quad cab & V-6 is $46k. BH with crew cab & 5.7 hemi is $52k - $54k. Absolutely insane !! Just praying I don't total my truck anytime soon. I wouldn't be able to afford to replace it. Looked up my trade...

    Differences between the Ram Models

    I disagree. More options = more problems. I perfectly happy 1 1/2 yrs later with my well equipped BH. I honestly wouldn't want a Limited. So much useless crap on them. Just like I'd never buy an iPhone when I can get a phone for $150 that does pretty much all the same stuff. Just my 2 cents.

    Differences between the Ram Models

    Bottom line is u can get a BH that's darn near a Laramie minus the leather, & u can get a Laramie that's darn near a Limited depending on what options you choose. There are literally hundreds of different configurations & options on these trucks nowadays. It's kind of like choosing a health...

    Differences between the Ram Models

    That's easy. SLE - BH, SLT - Laramie, Denali - Limited

    New owner from Massachusetts

    I heard starting in 2022 quad cab won't even be an option in Laramie & above trim levels because of the chip shortage.

    What was your interest rate when you financed your new ram?

    My credit score is always above 800. Usually around 835 to 840. I got 4.99% thru TD Auto Finance for the wife's Kia Sorento. Got 4.99% thru Chysler Capital on my Ram. The Kia sales manager straight up told me he could give me like 1.9% but then they would jack the price of the car up $2,000...

    Anyone else happy with MPG?

    I get about 17 mpg mixed. I get about 20 mpg mixed with my wife's Kia Sorento with a V-6 so 17 ain't bad for a truck with a V-8.
