    Some new 2019 Ram photos

    Great looking truck - I've always been a fan of clearance lights!

    Fuel Tank Size

    I do hope they fix that. That is one of those things that annoy me to no end - not just because of the inaccuracy of the fuel gauge, but that it is one of those things that just should not be an issue. Range is important to me because long road trips are somewhat frequent (when we're not...

    Rails to trails, biking, hiking.

    On the subject of extra curriculars, does anyone have a good set of resources for truck off road sites in Michigan?I'm aware of Silver Lake Sand Dunes (never been there) and some other out of state places, but once I get my TR/TRX, I'm going to need to know where the playgrounds are.

    Ram Box

    Ram Box is a must for me. But then, so is being able to afford a truck. Tax return will change the tide this year. I just don't know which way yet. Could be huge return, could mean an audit. Who gets the 1099-S anyway . . . I never found one, but, having sold rentals, somebody had to get one.

    Some new 2019 Ram photos

    So, Bob is a fellow rider?Did not know that . . . (I had assumed it meant red car riding)I also have a (dormant) Honda - my first working motorcycle - 1986 VFR 750F (still have it - needs carb rebuilds and some other TLC). I didn't know this when I bought it, but the VFRs are not sport bikes...

    Some new 2019 Ram photos

    I haven't read through the entire thread yet, so please forgive if I'm repeating something already said, but . . . my current ride is a six banger (roughy 4 litres) that is over 15 years old and gets about 19 on the highway with a peak horsepower of 190 and torque at 210 if I recall (tow max is...

    2020 Ram HD caught testing

    If I had to wager, I'd guess that was heading south on Opdyke Road, south of what used to be the Silverdome.I'll have to keep a watchful eye . . .As far as electrification/hybrids, don't hold your breath. I'm sure the HDs will get eTorque, just like the 1500s because of the low end start line...

    Meet the 2016 Ram Rebel TRX

    Anything close to an ETA on track width and suspension details?Does anyone know if the production version will have the wide track and Prefix-esque hourglass overhead design?Has anyone seen any production design details to know how aggressive the TR/TRX will be?Is the primary difference between...

    I was on the fence about the Ram Box because I prefer the look of the truck without them, but they are huge and there is a lot you can do with them.Having seen them in person at the auto show - I'm sold on them. Much bigger than I thought they were and the 2019s have LED lights and a 110V...

    Ram releases 2019 Ram 1500 payload and towing charts

    Expect the TR/TRX to have lower tow capabilities due to the peculiar suspension characteristics they are expected to have.

    Crash Test Results - No ETA

    The DT HAS been crash tested internally, that is a requirement if I recall.NHTSA and IIHS have NOT tested it. They don't crash test every model of every brand, they just do the occasional spot check and publish their findings.As far as where to get the DT crash results . . . no idea, not even...

    What does the new Ram 1500, have to do with the Jeep brand.

    Regarding the name, can't they just call it the Ram Charger? Yes, Dodge has a Charger, but Dodge is not Ram. Or, since it is a Sport Utility Vehicle, the Ram SportCharger. Or, since it is classified as a station wagon for insurance purposes, call it the Ram Wagon, but that might confuse it...

    And you know it is only a matter of time before some knucklehead demands, "When are you gonna Hellcat it?"<--- People like this guy.

    High Performance Ram Trucks

    I've seen more than a few people ask about a street truck in various forums.Chevy used to have the 454SS, I don't remember what Ford's offering was. They seem to come in waves. I always point to the fact that none of the Big 3 currently offer one as evidence that they just don't sustain sales...

    2019 Ram 1500 makes Wards 10 best interior list for 2018

    The interiors on the Laramie and Limited far exceeded my expectations. Jim Morrison mentioned that they listened to their customers who told them they wanted more luxury, they wanted to be able to show their trucks off as much as their expensive luxury cars and Ram paid attention. They gave...

    I am pleased to announce our new site Mopar Insiders!

    I had wondered about that . . .Good to see Bob and yourself getting dirty in the bit buckets. If you're interested in a third wheel, I do have an IT background:http://www.isgllc.net/SMB-ISG-2018-Resume.pdf

    2019 Silverado V8 power and torque numbers leaked

    The powerhouses are coming. There is more to a truck than an engine. They're all adequate to the task, so it comes down to things like brand loyalty, amenities, style, personal preference, etc. I thought it was rather cute that Ram put out a 930 lb-ft torque 3500 with a 30,000 lb tow rating...
