    Build quality of late 23 final 24 s

    I just wanted to weigh in. I have a 2023 that was built near the end of the production run with all the options except the hud and air suspension. I have aproximately 13k miles now. My turn signal mutli function switch wouldn't cancel my blinker when I received it new from the factory which was...

    Anyone else's dealers having trouble getting parts?

    I took mine in for an oil change and they had the parts on hand and swapped it over. Everything is perfect now! I'm just glad everything went smoothly at the dealer.

    How dark are the back windows tinted to and will ceramic tint up front match close enough to the back?

    My tint shop put 3M Ceramic 15% on the fronts. It looks like a close match but it's a little dark for me at night personally. If I could do it again I would have done 20% on the fronts. even if it wasn't a perfect match. I agree with what the others have said, the factory windows are dyed...

    MFT doors hard close / rubbing metal when shut

    I second the vote on checking with your dealer but I recall reading another thread where the user said he ultimately had to realign it himself. I agree with being upset over having the paint damaged. I wouldn't be worried about the cosmetic aspect as much as having exposed metal that could start...

    PPF placement on new truck

    I had the bumper completely covered and about an 8" strip across the front fenders and the hood. I believe my cost was $1200. You can see the line up close if you're looking for it. I've never had anyone else point out the PPF lines from the partials unless I specifically pointed it out.

    Oil reco's for 70K mile 5.7 etorque

    I use Pennzoil ultra platinum with the mopar filter. I would use the recommended oil that's on your fill cap for your model and year of truck. I've heard all sorts of competing theories on why you would want thicker or thinner oil. My experience is anecdotal so take it for what its worth, but...

    RAM 1500 owners...Tell me the pros and cons. I'm trying to decide which pickup to buy. Edit: I bought a '24 RAM 1500 Limited! Yippee!

    Just thought I'd mention some of those trucks came with 23 gallon tanks. Might be worth double checking the window sticker.

    If you've had the rear window leak...

    I think the class action lawsuit was worded something along the lines of "and they continue to replace the defective parts with equally defective parts". I'm hoping if we continue to bring attention to it they will come up with a real solution for those who have leaks.

    Muffler suggestion

    I really liked Magnaflow on my 5.7 Jeep. To me it had the best sound having listened to several of the alternatives in person.

    I Said Goodbye Last Night...

    Congratulations on a new truck! That's always an exciting experience. You will have to come back and give us a review after you have settled into the Ford for a bit. I've been curious about the platinum trim F150 and how it compares. I did have an F150 rental recently but it was a 5.0 XLT...

    Should I get a RAM again??? 2019 < 2024

    2023 5.7 E Torque - No bugs yet but I only have 8,000 miles. I wish my truck didn't have the E Torque, but I was surprised at how they integrated it into the truck in a way that doesn't annoy me. After living with it 99% of the time I don't even notice it. If I were you I'd just go test drive...

    Anyone else's dealers having trouble getting parts?

    I'm waiting for a new multi function switch (the blinker leaver) and they told me I shouldn't expect it before April.

    High mileage 2019 advice

    Well since St-na decided to revive this thread, How is it? Did you buy it? Does it have any issues? I'm curious how a 2019 with 184k miles handles.

    RAM 1500 owners...Tell me the pros and cons. I'm trying to decide which pickup to buy. Edit: I bought a '24 RAM 1500 Limited! Yippee!

    I see in your signature you have the sport package. I believe they come with less resonators than the standard models come with. I do agree that the "standard Ram" (with all of the mufflers) is quieter than the 2023 Audi A5 I've ridden in and night and day different against any of the Acura's. I...

    Truck bed bracket?

    I'm going to bandwagon on reviving this old thread. Has anyone used these brackets successfully with a BAK Revolver X4s?

    Keep up posted on the results. I have the pano sunroof and do not have any issues but in the event I do I would like to know how your situation turns out.

    Multi Function Tail Gate Small Door Won’t Open

    If lubricating the latches for the multi function tailgate are on the regular maintenance list does anyone have any recommendations on where to spray and what to use. It seems like some lubricants attract more dust and grit to stick to a surface. I would like to maintain my latches without...

    1st Oil/Lube

    I loosen the filter then wrap a Zip lock bag around before unscrewing it the rest of the way to try to avoid the mess.

    To buy or not to buy

    For me the decision was made in the test drive. When I compared the Ram and the Tundra it seemed like overall the Tundra was a safer bet. However when I drove them both I felt that the potential risk of more headaches was worth having a vehicle I enjoyed more to drive every day. I would think...

    Change to turn signals in 2023 MY?

    I still need to take mine in. I should probably do that sooner than later. I appreciate the update.
