    Front Bumper off on right side?

    Yea I think it is off too. I may still get all my work done then take it into the dealer later. I would assume it just needs a minor alignment. I doubt they would mess with the Paint Protection Film if they need to adjust it. You can only really notice when look straight on and you gotta zone...

    Front Bumper off on right side?

    Looking for some opinions on this. I am about to take my car in tomorrow for PPF and a Ceramic Coat. Looking at my bumper tonight it seems off on the right side between the very bottom and middle piece a little. I don’t really want to get the work done then have to take it to the dealer since...

    Here are the 2019 Ram 1500 Hemi eTorque MPG numbers

    That’s awesome to hear the numbers are out. Also doesn’t make me regret just getting the standard Hemi. Although the numbers are better it’s not a huge difference to where I want to be a test for a 1st gen engine.

    Ceramic Coating, Paint Protection Film, and Tint next week

    Thanks! He’s going to take some photos for me of the process and also when the PPF is going on and I’ll post a bunch after. Going to try to talk him into tossing in maybe a few free things. Pitch the idea he has tons of cars on his website and Facebook but no trucks. Try to reach a new...

    Ceramic Coating, Paint Protection Film, and Tint next week

    Here is a link to the Ceramic Coat product my guy is using on my truck this week. A few different brands out there but Gyeon is one of the better. The “good” stuff you can’t buy as a consumer and install it yourself. The higher end products are only sold to certified installers and they have...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I’d say 10k off should be the target to shoot for. Dealers have that in the margins on these fully loaded higher trims. Mine was 9.5 off plus another 1.5 in rebates.

    Ceramic Coating, Paint Protection Film, and Tint next week

    100% agree. I don’t have the time or need to teach myself how to do it. Nor do I have a good clean space to do the work. I’m fine with paying a true pro to do but would not take anything being offered by a dealer.

    General CarFax question

    Both my accidents when I was hit had insurance claims and frame damage on the door from the first accident and yet nothing on this report. Go figure. I am just trying to figure this out. Makes you wonder what you get when you buy used and think it’s 100% clean.

    General CarFax question

    I got the trade value I wanted out of it so I could care less but I just found that report kinda crazy. Granted the work after each incident was done by a Cadiallac dealer so it’s done properly but still.

    General CarFax question

    Good to know. That makes sense to why it’s not showing then.

    General CarFax question

    Can anyone explain to me how CarFax works and maybe why some stuff won’t appear on a report. I decided to look up the car I traded in where I got my truck from and they already have it listed for sale. I pulled the CarFax and it shows ZERO body work or accidents done when I know obviously that...

    To Tow Package or not.....

    Tow mirrors would be a complete hard stop for me. I love the surround camera feature and the mirror tilt when in reverse makes life ALOT easier getting into smaller spaces.

    What could be done better in new RAM

    I have yet to see an ivory in person so I can’t quite comment on that. Only thing that throws me off at times you listed is the front bumper. Every so often I feel like the bumper is off a little on my truck but they all are like this it seems. I just feel like the very bottom portion of the...

    Greetings from Raleigh!

    Yea those two questions are a little above my scope of knowledge hah..... I will say that I love my Limited and it’s seriously the most enjoyable car I have ever driven and you are in for a treat when yours arrives. Hopefully you aren’t waiting too long but trust me in the end it will be worth...

    Gauge Cluster lighting

    Little vindictive of me but I would not mind a MINOR recall. My closest dealer who will service my truck in the future were kinda *******s to me previously. I tried to get a truck from them when I grew tired of waiting for my order and they told me that the price I was given could in no way be...

    My 2019 Longhorn Order - the Deal

    So the options price went up on some various items. The original price of my truck was 65,380 when I placed the order. When my Limited arrived the window sticker was 66,150. They are charging for each paint color now ( 100, 200, or 500 WTF....) and various others things. Koons should have you...

    Ceramic Coating, Paint Protection Film, and Tint next week

    Yea those guys aren’t off in price. Granted I live in Northern VA outside of DC and everything is more expensive. I’ve seen people mention getting similar work paying half of what I am about to. For me it’s going to be about 2,500 for everything to include. Front coverage for paint protection...

    Ceramic Coating, Paint Protection Film, and Tint next week

    Yea I would not trust the dealer. I highly doubt they are using a high end coat material let alone having it applied by a certified dealer. They are probably trying to sell you on a higher end spray on wax or sealant. Not the same. If you want a ceramic coat I would 100% pass on what they...

    My 2019 Longhorn Order - the Deal

    Nice! Sounds like you will have a great truck. Hope you get it soon and I don’t think you will be attacked for your post haha.... I live in Loudoun County and contacted Koons when I wanted to place my order. They honestly were just slow to respond and the price they gave was ok. Not to mention...

    Order Tracking

    You sure it is being transported by them? Mine never was. I just tracked it calling RAM directly. Those on the phone had better info than the online chat. Honestly though the day it got to the dealer I had called RAM that morning and they told me it was still at the last train yard stop. Soooo...
