    Big Horn Black Appearance Package

    That’s not the black appearance package, that’s a black truck with the sport appearance package, different trucks.

    Employee Discount vs Dealer Discount + Manufactures Rebates

    We’ve all seen those ads showing $13k off a $45000 truck, they are bogus. No one can qualify for all the incentives and rebates, it’s impossible because some explicitly exclude others but the computer programs used the auto generate these “offers” simply add up all incentives with no regard for...

    Employee Discount vs Dealer Discount + Manufactures Rebates

    Affiliate is 1% below true invoice, employee is either 3% or 5% below (I don’t recall the current number) minus all rebates and incentives. With these programs that’s your price, no negotiation allowed or the dealer can’t submit the deal under the program and get their compensation (they get a...

    For those that want to add the factory trailer brake controller...

    Received and interesting email from a vendor when trying to order these parts. Parts ordered don't fit your vin, According to your vin number these part number that you have ordered are not a option for this truck through the vin. If these are something that you are adding to change the factory...

    HD Radio Question

    My 8.4Nav shows the multicast options. Above the frequency readout where it says HD) Radio after “buffering” goes away it will show 1 2 3 (if available) and the tuning knob allows you to select the secondary channels. Just make sure the HD button on the right side of the screen is selected...

    For those that want to add the factory trailer brake controller...

    That’s great info and I don’t mean to be an *** but is there a way to validate these numbers? Or, has anyone installed them and had the truck programmed to confirm there aren’t any version miss matches? Again, not trying to be a pain, just don’t want to get it all installed to find it can’t be...

    Big Horn 2wd W/Air Suspension ?

    Thanks, it’s not exactly what I would have ordered but it was close enough. 4 additional options I wanted were Brake Controller (I will add it), 33 gallon tank,LED lights and black wall tires (I'll flip the RWL that came with it). None were deal breakers. I could do without the pano sunroof but...

    Big Horn 2wd W/Air Suspension ?

    I went through the same thing and found you can get the Ram inventory search to find it by building a big horn with the 4-Corner air option then editing the search to remove everything but the Big Horn model and the 4-Corner air options. When you click on the details for a specific truck use the...

    Air Ride system

    I’ve noticed that sometimes, most often when you use remote start, it won’t raise automatically. You can raise it by bumping the setting switch and it works normally from then on. Most likely a glitch in the programming but you can always raise it from entry/exit with the switch so it’s more...

    How do you wash your RAM?

    In reply to your title, I wash my truck with a $5 bill at the local car wash.... to their credit it’s a really good operation with modern soft touch equipment that’s very well maintained but my truck is just that, a truck that’s used as my daily driver, tow vehicle and load carrier. Now, on my...

    2019 Laramie with Off Road package / air suspension - any way to level?

    No experience with that company but I’ve used the same method to adjust other air ride vehicles I’ve had. They are the best way to get what you are looking for. Just be aware that the rear, when all the way down in entry/exit is basically sitting on the bump stops so your best bet would be to...

    Thinking of trading 15' F150 3.5 ecoboost for a new Ram 1500! What say you?

    I just traded my 2017 F-150 super crew with the 3.5l eco boost and 10 speed on a Big Horn Black Crew and couldn’t be happier. The single biggest reason I traded was how poorly the Ford towed my 16’ enclosed (6000 lbs, weight distributing hitch, 20’ total length) and 22’ Talon SS Boat (3000 lb...

    Looking for a good Tonneau cover

    Lomax (https://www.agricover.com/hard-tonneau-covers). I’ve had one on the last 3 trucks and they have been sturdy, stylish and weathered better than any of the other covers I’ve had. The other option, though not a true tonneau, is the Undercover Classic...
