I traded my 16 Silverado for a new Ram two months ago. Over 6000 miles and no regrets. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I found the mount on eBay. Less than $10 for a metal bracket with a bit of 3M VHB tape. I prepped the surface before mounting and it has shown no sign of releasing. Search for an R3 Permanent Windshield Mount. I ended up hardwiring to the fuse panel under the steering wheel. It was easier and...

Get the 12” screen in the truck and it’ll light up your world when you turn the truck off. No interior lights needed [emoji38] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love my G-Shock. Nothing better to wear when you might get a little too rough for “nicer” watches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see you're enjoying your early November snow as much as I am :ROFLMAO: I'm excited to see the content you guys put out about your long term truck. Mine came pretty similarly equipped so I'll be following this and the rest of your long term content closely. Keep up the good work (y)

I’m on late and medium feedback. If you haven’t yet, might be worth bugging the dealer about. I’m curious if I’m on a later software version than you are that improved the LKA. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The only immunity is staying home The R3 is top-class for windshield mount radar detectors. The R7 adds a rear facing antenna to add directional sensing but is otherwise not a “better” (more sensitive) detector. Although with how many sources are out there for false alerts these days, I almost...

I can take my hands off the wheel and the truck will do two lane corrections before beeping at me to put my hands back on the wheel. If anything, the settings you have should be an annoyance because it should constantly be nudging you back to the center if you slightly stray. It works for me...

Some people don’t seem to have a good experience with it. Their trucks don’t alert or nudge until you’re out of the lane. That hasn’t been my experience. If anything mine was too restrictive by going yellow if I ever dared deviate from dead nuts center of the lane. There are three levels to...

The only thing I could find that Vortex wrote about the SmartRadar was in a 2015 forum post he had linked from his site. It was a comparison of several comparable detectors. I wouldn’t fault him too much for what he wrote up half a decade ago. The work he’s been doing since has been great. He’s...

It really depends. Every cop is an individual and every department and agency has their own policies. I live in a big enough city (250,000 in the metro area) that city police are usually busy with more important stuff. All of the small towns around me? There’s a lot of cops looking for something...

I’m glad I didn’t go with the Mopar flaps after reading about them here. I got the WeatherTech flaps and they have been great.

I got a Truxedo Lo Pro. It’s easy to install and has a lifetime warranty. I don’t have to worry about taking the cover off if I need full bed access.

I went with a Truxedo Lo Pro. I’m not a fan of tri folds or retractable covers because I don’t want to lose the bed space. Gives a nice clean look and rolls totally out of the way. It’s got a lifetime warranty and is super simple to install. The cover is vinyl and they also make the X15 for a...

If you haven't already, look at the vaults from Lock'er Down and Console Vault too. The Tuffy will keep things locked up and the price is definitely right on it, but it is made out of bent sheet metal and has hinged sides for ease of shipping. The Console Vault and Lock'er Down are made of...

The V1 has been the detector to beat for decades but the future definitely looks uncertain. They’ve been listed as out of stock for months and we are waiting to see if there is a new one in the works or if the company is ultimately going to wind down. Uniden and Escort have models with...

This is what the mounting brackets look like. There’s a smidge of lateral adjustment but nothing as far as height. Also handy while installing anything to the factory mounting points, I ran an M8 die down the painted studs to clean the threads and made getting everything on snug by hand a lot...

I was in a similar position as you. I traded my 16 Silverado towards a new Ram in no small part because the new GM redesign is pretty awful. A month in and I have no regrets, you’re definitely looking in the right direction with a new truck. I wanted a pretty well equipped Laramie myself and it...

Took some more pictures in the overcast daylight of the autumn tundra hellscape I live in. I don’t have hardly a lick of chrome between my bumpers and wheels so polished definitely wouldn’t work for me. I think your truck would look pretty sharp either way. I got the 5” inch oval bars with the...

Well it would have helped if it wasn’t the middle of January here, but I got them on with pretty much no hypothermia. I went with the Westin Pro Traxx 5. This is a middle of the night pic, I’ll get the truck washed and get some more pictures tomorrow.
