Haha, "bondo bombers"! I'm gonna use that :D Sad, but it's true. -John

I loved the Xact Contour mats in my F-150... so I'll be ordering a set for my RAM. That said, give them a few days in the sun to flatten out, they'll be just fine. My Xacts did the same thing. -John

A fully-loaded Limited in the US will get to $71,000 pretty easily - just add everything. :D BUG, eTorque, Level 1, 3.92, anti-slip diff, RAM Boxes. My truck was a shade under $70k and I didn't get RAM Boxes. -John

I said the same thing about the F-150 and the GM trucks... why, oh why, do they skimp on such a cheap part that makes the truck look unfinished? FWIW, when Ford went aluminum-body with the F-150, any kind of snow/ice/salt/rocks that got kicked up into the rear wheel wells sounded like a...

I find that even in a fairly busy lot, putting on my blinker to indicate that I'm parking, is enough to keep the spot-stealers at bay. I had an interesting one last week - I went to parallel park, and used PA, and it was gonna hit the curb (the cars in front and back were right up on it) and I...

No idea - I don't have a thermometer with me, just my finely-calibrated epidermal thermometer. I'll see if I have any time this weekend to get temps (not likely though - totally swamped at home!) -John

I had my truck at the dealer this week to realign the driver's side rear door (it stuck out about 1/8th of an inch and didn't make the same noise when closing as the rest of the doors), and when I got in the truck to drive home, my A/C was colder. The truck sat outside all day in the 88-90...

Ain't it great? I love (but sometimes hate) that there are a million ways to order a truck! You can get one to suit your own personal needs/wants. Personally, for me the air suspension and power running boards were must-have. The Limited trim level was also must-have, just for the standard...

This logic makes sense, especially if you're sitting in a heat-soaked truck. If the air is moving slower through the dash vents, it's picking up the heat energy from the hot dash parts, and thus would exit the dash vents at a higher temperature. Has anyone taken apart a new DT dash to see what...

Carbon fiber on the steering wheel in a Limited? Nah, it's the same striped wood that's on the dash and doors. The big differences between the Laramie and Limited, beyond the Limited having a lot of standard equipment which is optional on the limited, are: 1. Leather is nicer, with filigree...

Thanks for the feedback - my needs have changed, too. My first two trucks had things in the bed for multiple days that needed to be fairly well-secured. With this truck, I just don't do that, so a soft cover will be fine. Also, I don't really want to spend the money and have something...

Well ain't that something! That really is a unicorn. For comparison's sake, I went out and crawled underneath my March 2019-built Limited, and I have the fixed air dam. Other than that, your truck looks identical to mine - what's your payload sticker say? -John

I had a Roll-X on my 2011 F-150 and a Revolver X2 on my 2015, both BAK products. Both over $500 (I forget what I paid for each one), and after a couple of years the felt underneath would start coming unglued, and on the X2, the vinyl was separating from the aluminum. Both were quality...

Nope, don't go risking your safety or breaking the law to satisfy the curious on the forum! Sorry if my post was received this way. The on-the-ground pics should give those of us not in your driveway a better picture of what you're looking at. We just find it incredible that after over a year...

Yes, all of this! I too keep track of my cost of ownership, and thus fuel economy. I try to maximize whatever I'm driving, or at least see if I can match the EPA ratings... which of course, anyone with a heavy/crew cab/3.92 truck probably won't. The only one which got close was my 2011 F-150...

This is indeed interesting ... pics or it didn't happen? :D -John

So, I was looking at the Tyger T1, but then I noticed the Tyger T3 ... anybody have one of those? It's only like $50 more on Amazon, and according to Tyger, the tension is preset and it uses quick-release clamps, so its installation/removal is ~5 minutes, as opposed to ~30 minutes for the T1...

I'll try to do this over the weekend. With 2 little kids, it's hard to find time do do experiments like this - heck, the bulk of my motorcycle riding time is after 9pm when the whole family is asleep LOL. -John

Yay! Glad I could help. Some of the settings in uConnet are weird. There's a section for Navigation settings in the main Settings menu (accessed via the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the 12" screen) but also more Nav settings in the full-screen Nav screen. It reminds me of the...

This is interesting. I find that my A/C cools reasonably well - it doesn't feel as cold as my F-150, but I leave recirc off and put it in manual mode to get floor/dash vents active, because I like cold air on my feet and am usually smoking a cigar when I drive (when my wife and kids aren't in...
