    Billet silver Laramie, first camping trip

    Yes I have the Yakima bars and have been loving the setup. I've hauled snowboards and bikes so far. Haven't hauled cargo yet, but I do have the LoadWarrior + Extension that I will use next time we go camping. I think the largest Yakima cargo box that would fit would be the RocketBox 12...

    Painting tow hooks?

    Definitely do the red. It'll look killer. I think Plastidip makes a red coating

    Blind spot monitor warning volume

    It chimes only when you signal a lane change while there's a vehicle in your blindspot

    California dealerships

    I had a lot of trouble getting salesmen to respond to emails; phone calls were way more effective. And I could never get a quote by email either. Had to haggle in person. Check out Hunter CDJR (Lancaster) and Crown CDJR (Ventura); they both tend to have massive inventories, so you can prob get...

    California dealerships

    I bought my Laramie from Shaver CDJR in Thousand Oaks. Pleasant experience I must say. I had a Laramie on order that Ram screwed up somehow; had been sitting in storage in Sterling Heights for 2 months with no end in sight. So that might have been in my favor when negotiating the price for the...

    USB Audio

    Yes - I had the same problem with my 8.4 non-nav. Last time I brought my truck in to the dealer they updated the Uconnect and now the USB plays perfectly. Check with your dealer to see if there is an update available.

    Folding or retractable tonneau cover that works with cross bars?

    Open/close/locking operations are all super smooth and convenient. Cover slides easily in and out. I can't imagine that having to reach over the Rambox would make any significant difference.

    Folding or retractable tonneau cover that works with cross bars?

    Yeah the Retrax is a bit leakier than I imagined it would be. The problem around the tailgate is mainly Ram's doing. There are a ton of gaps around the tailgate. In front, the problem is that the sides of the bed are raised a quarter inch or so higher than the front of the bed. I've been...

    Folding or retractable tonneau cover that works with cross bars?

    I would say it's adequate - especially for Southern California. It does leak a bit, mainly at the tailgate, but also a little in the front of the cover. But the leakage is predictable - and not too big a deal for me

    Folding or retractable tonneau cover that works with cross bars?

    I have the RetraxONE XR as well. Loving it so far. It has a separate lock that locks the cover in place. Don't need to move the cover at all to open or close the tailgate. The remote tailgate release works perfectly with the Retrax cover closed. This weekend I received the Yakima rack kit that...
