Yes, you should - happy wife, happy life, right? Although, in my case it's Keep the husband happy, and everyone else is spared! LOL Also, I have 2 kids under 4, so time is severely limited - I even took my toddler on one of my RAM test drives. Add in the need to get Grandma to babysit when we...

Yeah, if you stress about what you paid versus what others paid, even for the same truck, you won't enjoy it as much! Trust me, been there, it sucks. As it was, with a sticker of $69,585 and an OTD price of $48,800, including almost $15k in positive equity, $1850 or so in tax savings, a...

Recall on the air bags? That's a new one by me! When was this announced? -John

Part of the eTorque "package" is auto stop/start... and the battery pack enables up to 10 mins of engine-off time, according to the engineers. I can verify that at least 3-4 minutes can be spent with the engine off, so long as the outside temperature is close to what you want your HVAC set to...

The Limited, like others said, has the black or Indigo/Frost interior instead of Saddle brown, chrome door moldings, different grille, and if equally equipped, will be cheaper. I looked at the Longhorn, but I preferred the Indigo/Frost interior and the lower price as-equipped. Both are...

Good point about the different incentives and discounts. I probably over-payed by a little (or a lot, depending on where you live), but at the end of the day, I priced out everything from the Laramie trim level on up to a Limited, and found that for less than $5,000 difference between a...

No need to trade in your truck! Just get this attractive add-on! :D J/K, trying to add levity to the situation. -John

No no no! You simply CANNOT admit a mistake and expect everyone to move on! We have to belabor this issue ad nauseum, until a moderator steps in and threatens using his or her ban hammer! J/K, this forum is a breath of fresh air compared to a lot of the other forums I'm on. -John

Yeah, we had some dime-sized hail show up Sunday... my wife's Escape got 4 or 5 dings, my 3-week old RAM got 2... one tiny one on the hood, and another on the roof. I'll have to find a good PDR place... I doubt it's enough damage to cover our deductible. My buddy's wife 5 miles away got over...

This is not just RAM - it's all truck manufacturers. When you get to the highest trim levels of each brand, the discounts are lower. The Ford XLT and RAM BigHorn get the biggest discounts, and then the Lariat/Laramie trim levels get a little less. Getting into a Limited from either brand, the...

You're right, eTorque doesn't provide MORE torque, adding torque to the peak power figures of the truck, but it DOES fill in torque at low RPMs when the gas engine doesn't make much torque. It's mostly semantics at this point, but by making it so the gas engine doesn't have to work so hard, it...

The limits can prevent fraud when combined with a once-in-24-hours limit, like they do here. You can only use a credit/debit card once in a 24-hour period. It's caught me several times when I notice 2 of my motorcycles are low on gas and I go to fill them up. Oops. -John

The only complaint I have from the ride (and I have the 22s like I mentioned) is that over some sharp bumps, I get a rattle out of the rear of the truck like the bed bolts are loose or something. I'll bring it up at the first oil change. This morning I got caught in some traffic. It was mild...

I got the eTorque in my Limited because auto stop/start is quite helpful where I live, and I spend on average 5 minutes idling out of a 45 minute commute. Now I just let the auto stop/start shut off the engine at lights, and if I remember, I turn off climate control beforehand so it stayed...

I too, wish that the manufacturer would put the payload on the window sticker - that's a great idea! When shopping Fords, I found a dealer in Canada (and then a couple of them in the States) that would put a pic of the red/yellow payload sticker in their pictures for each truck, which made it...

Are you looking for a Rebel? My Limited has both, and was built in March of 2019. These seem like pretty silly limitations to me! I wonder if RAM is having supplier issues again? -John

I wash and wax this truck the same as I have for the past several years, using a number of products I've used and liked - the process is always evolving. Wash with Meguiar's Gold Class (mitt only) or Chemical Guys car wash (it's green, I forget its actual name) if using my Torq foam cannon on...

OK, that makes more sense - I *thought* "Laramie Limited" was an older trim level. Does anyone have the current document? I know with Ford, there was a Fleet Order Guide, which listed the base weights of cab/bed/engine/powertrain and the weight for each option. I love geeking out about this...

I read the PDF he posted a couple of days ago, and it lists -5lbs for the front axle and 125lbs for the rear axle, so 120lbs overall, if I'm reading it right. Weird, but even with ballpark weights, I'm glad I didn't get them. 1200lbs of payload is too low for what I use my truck for. 1320...

I'll have to pay attention next time I get in to make sure my seatbelt is fastened before I start the truck, thanks! As for the air suspension, after coming from one truck where the touch screen went funky, the rear slider broke in the closed position, and the sunroof broke in the tilted-up...
