    Sport Appearance Package

    Thanks! As soon as the family finance manager (a.k.a. My wife) loosens up a bit I’ll level it and go up a couple sizes on tires. Steps are inbound from N-Fab and I’ll get a new cover for the bed as this one is what I took off of my 2015 GMC. I was surprised it actually fit and doesn’t look...

    Sport Appearance Package

    Not the cleanest right now, seems like it rains every day. And it does have the wrong wheels but I prefer these over the chrome clad appearing wheels that is supposed to come with the package.

    1st Drive Impressions

    Tony, I totally understand where you’re coming from. I too have avoided FCA for years and was in a similar situation of ready to buy a Sierra 1500 Z71. Had it all picked out dealer had the paperwork ready to sign but it just wasn’t enough of an upgrade to what I had (2015 GMC SLT Z71) to...

    N-Fab podium steps

    Looking at N-Fab’s site I’ll take a healthy hit returning these (shipping from Ohio to Houston and a 20% restocking fee). Frustrated they didn’t advertise them correctly (IMO) but it’s not 100% on them, I should have called and asked. So, I’m thinking I’ll size them up today and see if they...

    N-Fab podium steps

    Hey guys, anyone considering ordering a set of the N-Fab podiums for your 2019.... well don’t. Their website says it will fit a 2019 Ram but they will only fit the 2019 classic body style (not even sure they are released yet). Nice steps and was soooo excited only to be disappointed. They are...

    2 new things about my 19' that surprised me...

    Right there with you on the sport hood! I wanted an off road package In the fire red, I saw a fire red with off road and sport group when I was searching but had never seen one. The dealer said they had just took it off the delivery truck and I should come take a look. I think I actually peed...

    Gauge Cluster lighting

    I got my cluster replaced today (it went dark on day 1). It took the dealer a whole week just to get the part in, only an hour to replace it but another 19 showed up there today with the same issue . Not sure if mine is related to the bright spots issue but something aggravating none the less.

    Bed Carpet?

    The Tread is a mix between the rug and a spray in. Seems to be a bit easier to clean than the rug but yet has cushion like the rug. By no means is it as durable but good enough for me when I have a tri fold bed cover on all the time.

    2019 Silverado First Look

    Never been so happy to have leaped on the Ram train when I did. I would have been crushed if I waited on the 2019 Sierra, nothing there IMO.

    Bed Carpet?

    So verified my luck (or lack there of) the Bed Tread that I was assured would fit a 2019 in fact will not. It’s very close but minor changes on the tailgate and rear Bed stake area are the major differences. Seller is paying shipping back and will send the new one in a couple weeks when the...

    Bed Carpet?

    Weeellll.... I’m hoping the place I got mine from had a clue about the fit. I ordered a Bed Tread last week and it arrived yesterday, they assured me it would fit a 2019 but it will be my luck that they were wrong. Hope not! It’ll be Monday before I get home to check it, I will let you guys...

    Bed Carpet?

    I’ve had one in my trucks for the last 5 years or so, really like them. I ordered the Bed Tread this time to give it a try as I found it on sale and a rebate to boot. The rugs are nice but can be a pain to clean if you haul wood or spill mulch or something like it in it. IMO, they are worth it.

    Any Gen 5 regrets??

    Traded out of a 2015 GMC SLT Z71, regret trading into the 19 Ram.... nope! Regret not doing more homework on options before I committed? Maybe but still not disappointed at all.

    4×4 Off-Road Package

    Thanks Devildodge, think I’ll give them a call and see if they are willing to share what kit they used. If I’m successful I’ll pass on what I learn.

    4×4 Off-Road Package

    The wheels are next, not sure if I want to stick to OEM or aftermarket. For now I’m trying to find a leveling kit that will work to add some room up front and get rid of the rake. I don’t understand why RC is saying theirs won’t work but certainly not going to buy one in an attempt to prove...

    4×4 Off-Road Package

    On the ORP trucks, which leveling kits have been installed by folks here in the group? Rough Country is adamant that neither their leveling or lift kits will work with the ORP. I’m leaning towards the ReadyLIFT 2”, anyone install one yet? I’m not overly concerned about warranty so the OEM is...

    A/C Performance

    Mine is mediocre at best as well. Comparing my 2019 to the 2015 GMC I just traded there is a significant difference. After start up it only seems to blow ambient air until you get moving above 40-45 mph and only then does it start to blow cool, never cold. I guess I’m lucky to be in Ohio...

    New Ram owner

    My Laramie has everything that my SLT did except lane departure, navigation, and wi-fi connectivity. May be a few other options but since I haven’t noticed obviously I’m not missing them. I’ve always shied away from Dodge trucks in the past as we had them on the farm as a kid back in the 70’s...

    New Ram owner

    Hello all, checking in from the Ohio Valley (Dayton area). Picked up my Laramie on 31 July fresh off the truck, loaded with off road and sport packages. Moving over from a 2015 GMC SLT Z71, just couldn’t resist the appeal and ride...
