    Anyone Considering The '24 Ram Dakota?

    If I had the money and afford it, yes. But it's out of my pay grade. I need something cheaper. Initially I was on the ford lighting bandwagon with the first round of pricing which was around $45k. Then after that first year, they jacked up the pricing and that pretty much ended me getting that...

    Anyone Considering The '24 Ram Dakota?

    Still working out the numbers, so I'm no expert. Roughly charging would be 3 times cheaper than gas...then again the time it takes to do it. The official number would be something like if it charged the ford f150 lighnting $100 each month, the equivalent for gas would be $350ish. Now that is...

    First Oil Change, 1000 Miles or is this just Old Fashioned?

    Personally, I don't see an issue with that. Definitely want to break the engine in. After the 500-1000 mile mark, then oil change. That's what I did as well. For the most part, early oil change folks come from either just habit, worrying too much, and for older folks like me history of older...

    Anyone Considering The '24 Ram Dakota?

    If I decide to get a midsized truck (only real reason is because price tags on full size trucks are just ridiculous) I would be spoiled with the amount of room in my ram. That's why I'm closely looking at EV pricing on the new ram Rev and smaller trucks. I'm already looking at prices STARTING...

    Trying to choose between loaded up Backcountry and Laramie Night/ORG

    Personally, one of the biggest, most underatted standard on the back country are the seats. I love the seats l, how they look and how comfortable they are. They made a good choice in putting the rebel seats in this trim. Previously, had a Laramie, leather seats with ventilation. Leather easily...

    Trying to choose between loaded up Backcountry and Laramie Night/ORG

    Great deal. I wonder how taxes work out of state like that. I live in NJ and when I bought cars in PA , I would pay some sales tax, and most of that (dealer would pay) would cover NJ sales tax....because you know...the state you live in always wants their fair share even if you bought out of...

    Suitable Tailgate Pad to Secure Mountain Bikes for RAM1500 with RAM BOXES

    Didn't realize those bikes are $10-15k bikes. I would get a bike rack in my bed like this one....and a ramp to ride it up on Advantage SportsRack BedRack Truck 4 Bike Rack with 10 ft Cable Lock https://a.co/d/gonF2bJ 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack 2021 Jeep...

    Suitable Tailgate Pad to Secure Mountain Bikes for RAM1500 with RAM BOXES

    I have rambox as well. I don't have any issues just throwing my mountain bike into the bed of the truck. Fits just fine in there. If I'm driving longer than 15 mins to a place, I just throw a quick strap over it. 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack 2021 Jeep Wrangler...

    Anyone Considering The '24 Ram Dakota?

    Any ideas if they will think about a electric dakota? Like taxes, Gas prices keep going up, full size trucks prices are high, and personally I might downgrade my ram to something smaller. In the next couple of years. I can get a VERY good spec out midsized compared to a very pricy full size...

    Ha...only difference I see is $200 and the SPORT decal on the side of the bed. 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara

    Night vs sport?

    You know over the years ram keeps changing stuff and removing other things and makes it tough to figure out what's included 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara

    Night vs sport?

    Good question. Night edition blacks out alot of the decals. Sport edition gives you more body color options like on the grill and handles. I'm sure I'm missing something here and someone can chime in on a couple other things. 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack 2021...

    We can close this thread. Before it turns into a far right group that can only think one way...and that's the only way to think. No more free thinking around here. 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara

    Haha love it. I'm more of the type of guy in a room full of people that is the only one that would stand up and ask questions, while everybody else just nodds their head at whatever the speaker says. 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara

    Out of curiosity...have you tried to reach out to another dealer...(forget price right now) and get a quote on one? Just throwing out something like maybe that store has ran out of allotments for custom order for that specific build? 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack...

    Not confused at all...curious is more like it. I learned alot more when working on my wife jeep, than on my ram. It's alot more simpler setup without struts coming into play. I have already proven what I said and stand by it. 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack 2021...

    Lots of good info here. One more thing to add...don't forget the tow hook bezel covers for the bumper if your rig didn't come with tow hooks from the factory 2022 Ram Big Horn Back Country 2016 Dodge Charger scat pack 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara

    You can use a smaller spring , and use a shock that has a higher pearch that can give you lift. Not all springs are the same, not all struts are the same...spring placement on the shock is important. I think that the confusion might be fronts struts, vs rear shocks. They are 2 different things...

    Offroad Group

    Now I'm confused by your statement. Your saying that shocks can't increase height. But then you state that the spring pearch can sit higher or lower on the shock itself to increase height, but that's not the shock? That is where I'm confused because that IS the shock moving the placement of...
