    Towing: Will the 1500 meet my needs or am I waiting for the 2500.

    I The video was for the guys with an old 2500 that are debating whether or not a new 1500 will be a direct replacement or they need to get another 2500. Exactly what this thread is about, that's why I posted it.

    WiFi stopped working

    I'm having the same issue. Extremely annoying. The system won't even allow me to change the SSID name or password. We've tried to connect on multiple devices, both Android and IOS. The problem is intermittent. It seems to be worse where the cell coverage isn't as good.

    Weird one - GPS-set time is wrong?

    Nothing installed. It just happened randomly.

    Towing: Will the 1500 meet my needs or am I waiting for the 2500.

    Did you watch it? He mentions the new 2500 a lot as well. There's often a lot of discussion on the forums about how the new half tons are just as capable as older 3/4 tons. His videos are quite good actually.

    This video might be useful for someone on the fence.

    Weird one - GPS-set time is wrong?

    I've had the same problem. Don't know a fix other than manually setting the time.

    Think I found a fifth wheel I can tow....

    Nice layout. It's just the bedroom up front so only clothes in there really. All the heavy stuff is going to be in the kitchen and storage in the rear. That's good.

    WD Hitch setup with air suspension - How does everyone do theirs?

    For the initial setup I put it in tire jack mode. Measured all heights at the wheel well, front and back. I adjusted the ball height to be about half inch higher than the coupler. Then I connected the trailer and measured the heights at the wheel well again. I then connected the WDH bars...

    Towed 7 x 14 v-nose trailer

    I don't think you can measure safety by weather or not you can feel the trailer behind you. I saw a YouTube video the other day with a DRW double towing a fifth wheel and a small utility trailer. The utility trailer was completely out of control, about to be torn to pieces. The guy couldn't...

    First long tow of 1150 miles

    We just finished a 1500 mile trip with this setup. Traveled to the Smokey Mountains through some hilly terrain. No complaints. It towed well.

    Wifi password incorrect

    I just finished a 2000 mile road trip with the family. When trying to connect to the wifi hotspot we frequently get a password incorrect message on our phone /tablet. On the trip home it was completely unusable. 6 different devices, some Android and some IOS all had the problem. We know that...

    CAT scale trip

    Exactly. Did not need to hit the button or speak with anyone. Only error I made was that after I had the scale results I advanced to the next screen without taking a screenshot or writing them down. I couldn't find them so I immediately clicked reweigh and paid the $2. Of course a minute later...

    CAT scale trip

    I used a CAT scale the other day using the "weigh my truck" APP. The process was very simple. I downloaded the APP right there, created an account and added my credit card info. The APP used the GPS to know which scale I was at. I left the scale number blank since there was only one scale at...

    25’ Airstream

    Here's a question... If the above Edmunds video posted a scale report that showed his GVW was 7300 lbs (overweight) vs a stripped down big horn scale report that shows GVW of 6900 lbs; what vehicle would you choose for a few thousand mile road trip? Personally, I'd take the better equipped...

    Seems like a great combination. Worked out for this guy.....

    Elon Musk calls Ram “puny”

    I like Tesla and really wanted to love the model 3 but when I sat in one I wasn't overly impressed. For the money I think the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is a good deal. I would be on electric 90% of the time and there would be no range anxiety for the longer trips.

    Dealer wants truck to "verify VIN"!?!

    It is actually a real thing. I had to Google it to see for myself. You get lots of hits like this with "vin verifier job" search https://vinverifiers.com

    What to do when satellite radio trial expires?

    I'm pretty sure the second car is at a discounted rate. I just added the RAM to my existing Sirius account even though I'm still on the free trial. I chose the lowest price package at $10.99 per month for my first car and adding the RAM it shows that the price will be an additional $6 per...

    WIFI

    I think it's a pretty good deal for family road trips. We have trips this year planned during a total of four months. I'll pay for only the months I need. The two year plan is tempting at $450.
