Who doesn't love a good tire thread? I had Duratracs on my 2015 Bighorn. Right before I traded it in, I put Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's on it which I then moved over to my 2021. Now with about 35k mile on them, they only have 40% tread left which is fine for most of the year but not winter here...

I was a long-time Ford guy. When I eventually bought my first Ford truck (a Ranger) it had all kinds of problems. I had similar issues as you where I got the run-around. After getting the Better Business Bureau involved, Ford offered to give me a new truck. I think that I ended up paying $700...

I loved driving my '83 Mustang back in the day, with rear wheel drive and an emergency brake for sliding around left and right turns. It taught me a lot about driving in the snow. I live in Minnesota, go up north a lot, and tow snowmobiles on a trailer in the snow. I never intentionally put...

Each state is different, but a "lemon" in the legal sense usually means that you are the first owner. If you bought this truck from someone else, the lemon law typically does not apply. The truck may have been cared for, but it also may have been in an accident that was relatively well-concealed...

I tow my boat and snowmobiles without a WDH, but they don't weigh anywhere near your trailer weight. However, the key is to have everything level. So many people tow things where the tongue is angled down and then the front wheels of the tow vehicle are pulled up. That's a great way to get into...

There are bad apples in every bunch. It sounds like someone drove that truck for 26,000 miles and then decided that it had too many little problems, and then sold it to you. I wouldn't feel bad, as most of these things would be nearly impossible to catch in a 3rd party vehicle transaction...

When my 2015 developed the "Hemi tick," I got reassurance from the forums that it was nothing to worry about. Then right as the truck went out of warranty, it was diagnosed with cam & lifter failure. There certainly are things that make noises when the truck starts. My current 2021 is nice and...

I'd park it at the dealer, ask for a loaner truck, and tell them not to give it back to you until it's got 500 miles on it without any codes. These things happen. I've bought three new vehicles that had problems out of the gate, including my previous 2015 Ram that was peeing tranny fluid out the...

If you take a different mindset, you'll realize that your truck revs higher on acceleration and sounds meaner.

I've noticed that my 2021 Bighorn runs about 10 degrees hotter on average than my 2015 (roughly 205 degrees vs 195 degrees). Pretty much everything is the same (V8, 4x4, etc.) except that the 2021 has the 3.92 instead of 3.21 and also has eTorque.

If someone bought an electric truck and expected to tow out of town, then they have more money than brains. Even once/if the majority of vehicles go fully electric, trucks will still likely be hybrid for those long-haul towing situations.

....those shriveled McDonald's french fries laying in between the seat and the center console are another 4lbs

They all do this stuff. For every story about how great American Family, State Farm, Geico, etc handled it all, there are just as many where they tried to screw over a customer. Find the best price, work with an insurance broker if you know an honest one, and then be prepared to fight whenever...

There's worse things to believe that you saw:

The best advice that I can give is to sell it exactly how you bought it, as a Laramie Longhorn Limited. If you are listing it online and have to choose from pull-down options, go with whatever comes closest to Laramie Longhorn Limited at the highest price.

On a random gasoline thread, I wonder what the bull$hiit ratio is spread over nine pages??

You sir, have the chupacabra of Ram trucks

Find some country roads to tow on to keep it around 50mph. It's only dangerous if you limit your thinking to towing on interstates only.

I would love a fully electric truck, but will be a late adopter due to my uses. Our cabin is 250 miles away and water access only, so I can't charge when I get there. My truck sits at a public boat launch until I leave. Therefore I need fast charging options on the trip or the ability to tow 500...

For a few nights after I got my 2021, I drove around to break in the engine. It was fun. Then I hooked up my boat and took the slow route up north, which is exactly 500 miles round trip. I would be weary about tossing on that heavy of a trailer before the engine is broken in. I think of it this...
