    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Not knowing what the rebates are, I would say 8k off MSRP before rebates is a good deal.

    Tire Dressing frustration

    I use Wesley's bleach white for cleaning and I use Black Magic Tire Wet in the spray can. I find the spray is the easiest to get along the bottom where the tire hits the concrete .

    Poor fuel mileage highway

    I totally agree, but with 20k miles, I am averaging 10.7 in the city. seems a bit low even for city. This is not towing anything either. 3.21 axle and 18" stock tire. 87 non-ethanol gas.

    Anyone have an oem truck ?

    Definitely not OEM. Within the first week, I swapped out the crappy incandescent bed lights for LEDs.

    Weather Alerts are not wanted. Can I disable?

    If you want minimalist setup, why didn't you go with the 8.4 screen? ;-)

    Is the 3.21 gear sufficient?

    You can look up your build sheet here and it will tell you what gears you have. Just put your VIN at the end of the URL. https://www.dodge.com/webselfservice/BuildSheetServlet?vin= You will be just fine towing with 3.21. I tow my 24', 6500# boat with no problems.

It is believed that, as a result, the residual sand can circulate throughout the cooling system and settle as a...

    1500 temps and towing issue and questions

    While towing my boat (~7000lb) I have no problem with acceleration in steep grades, just be sure to turn on the tow/haul mode so the truck stays in the lower gears longer. Towing will push the engine and run temp hotter, but 220 should be within normal range. As long as the fan is running when...

    weird thing happened

    Yes, I have had this happen 3 times in 17 months of ownership. I think it has to do with the tire pressure monitor, as this is the screen that displays when the horn honks and the hazards flash. Not 100% on this though.

    Siriux XM Renewal

    I always call them a couple days before it is due to renew and I tell them I want to cancel. I decline a couple of their offers and eventually they will offer me 5 or 6 months (depending on the offer) for $20. A lot cheaper than their regular prices. The catch is you have to keep calling them...
