    Strut wear after Motofab 2.5" level on ORP.

    No wear on the struts here with the RL 2” level and UCAs.

    Do you like your MDS?

    I wish there was... if I had to pick the one thing I do not like about my 5th gen it is definitely the MDS. I guess you could say I have a love - hate relationship with my 5th gen. Love the truck but HATE the MDS!

    Are they finalling electrifying tow mirrors?

    Don’t confuse “powered” with “power folding”.

    Hood scoops

    On the sport package...? Just looks.

    Should I tackle myself?

    I second Rdubs20 recommendation - do it yourself and save the $$.

    2019 RAM 1500 LARAMIE - trailer tow package

    Agree with everyone here, losing the power folding mirrors is a deal breaker. Regardless of what the dealer assumes (upgraded level 2 package would over ride the tow package) I assure you they are incorrect. Like many here, had I known what I know now I would have taken a build without the tow...

    No Lifetime Warranty, so now what?????

    Mine was $1402, however I mis-spoke on the terms... I got the 5/100 and zero deductible and not the 7/100 I said earlier. They call it a Comprehensive Protection Plan and you can get a quote from their web site.

    4WD on Soft Sand w/Nitrofill

    Try all the options, 4L, 4H, with and without locker, also try 2H with the locker... what a great opportunity to Really see what it can do. Good thing about sand is that even if you half bury the rear wheels, 4H/L will get you out of it.

    Cold weather warm up

    For those of us in the colder climates, how long are you (or are you) warming up your engines and transmissions before driving them or putting them under a load? Anyone paying attention to the temps before driving off? Like others have experienced here a 5th gen won’t fit in my garage so she...

    No Lifetime Warranty, so now what?????

    $1402.70 to be exact. I didn’t finance with USAA but it was the same price to buy it with or without the loan.

    No Lifetime Warranty, so now what?????

    I went with USAA on a similar policy as GEICO, 7 years 100k and zero deductable. I’m betting all the reputable offerings from places like USAA and GEICO are pretty similar and legitimate. I had the USAA policy on my previous truck and used it three times with the worst being a $5k bill for a...

    Laramie Sport Off-Road Pkg w/ 2” Level

    No reason why you couldn’t put the spacer in to omit the rake but be careful with your UCA ball joint. I know there is NO WAY a stock UCA can take that much deflection at full droop but maybe the Mopar kit ones can.

    New truck, Chrysler holding it hostage.

    I’d walk in there and demand my property, if they refuse to give it to you I’d call the 5-0 and let them tell the dealer they have no right to keep your property from you. Better yet, if you have the extra set of keys, just take it... not like you’re stealing it.

    Would you buy it again?

    Absolutely would buy it again! I too came out of a 2015 SLT and my Ram is way superior like moose said.

    Long time GM guy now with a Ram Rebel

    GMC convert here as well, absolutely no regrets! I had a 2018 SLT picked out and a deal all but brokered and then... I test drove a 2019 Ram. As with everything there are some trade offs between the Ram and GM but the positives tip the scales for the Ram. Styling, ride, appearance of the Ram...

    295/70/18 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT's on stock Rebel

    I’ve had good luck with Coopers and will likely replace my stock tires with something similar when the time comes

    Trying to negotiate the purchase of a 2019 Laramie

    $10k below MSRP (sticker) is possible or at least very close. My Laramie stickered at $54k and I walked out the door financing $44.5k including TT&L, my trade was a wash but it did help on sales tax. However, I bought mine in July before the price bump and I think FCA was a bit more willing...

    Auto dim high beams

    Confirmed, it has to be enabled through the screen display. Took me a month to figure out why mine wouldn’t work.

    Poor FM Radio Performance

    Sometimes when it’s weak, if you select AM then go right back to FM it corrects the problem. Bandaid for sure....

    Laramie Sport Off-Road Pkg w/ 2” Level

    I used the same kit on mine, very happy with it. I’m ok with the slight rake as I tow a trailer somewhat often and it helps from being nose high.
