    Some Real World MPG Numbers

    Disregarding the outliers where you are hauling stuff, you average out to 17mpg. So whats the problem? The advertised mpg's are gonna be just bare truck with nothing in it. Probably even found the lightest test driver to do it. The advertised mpg's also are most likely trucks with least options...

    Should I get the 12" on a 2021 Ram 3500?

    I dont have experience with the 12" Ram touch screen but I'd like to throw my input in. I had a newer loaner Infiniti with a dual touch screen when my G37 was outta commission. I was not a fan. When it comes to controlling things like climate control, heated seats, etc; i'd much rather have an...

    No CD player in my 2020 1500

    There's a Johnny Cash museum in Nashville that has a cool comparison of all the formats that his music has been released on. You get to listen to his song "Get Rhythm" on vinyl, 8-track, cd, etc. There's definitely a difference between formats. And I have 100% noticed the quality drop in my...

    3:21 vs 3:92 Gears

    Right. 1-2 mpg sounds in significant when said that way. You're talking up to 66 extra miles PER TANK OF GAS. Over the lifetime of owning the truck that hundreds and hundreds of gallons of gas that you save on. And with gas price volatility, you're talking possible thousands of dollars saved in...

    3:21 vs 3:92 Gears

    I went with 3.21 with my order for the same reason. If I do end up towing, it'll be a small trailer for extra room for moving furniture or something random. I may tow my parent's boat, if needed, where the 3.92 would be way better. But thats likely to be a once a year occurrence if that. The 1-2...

    What did you forgo, to add later, to save on monthly payments?

    Ordered her today. I ended up doing the BUG and rear wheel liners. After thinking it over a bit, the savings weren't worth the hassle of those 2. Gonna get the tonneau and running boards after the fact still

    Salesmen think they are soooo sneaky. DONT SIGN UNTIL YOU READ EVERYTHING

    So I finally got some time to go in and get my Ram factory ordered. Just wanted to come here and take the time to tell everyone to READ EVERY PAPER that is given to you. We went through and built my truck. Salesmen "goes to the back" to get the build sheet printed for me. He comes back with a...

    What did you forgo, to add later, to save on monthly payments?

    About to go to the local dealer to order my Ram 1500. I'm planning on forgoing a few things to save some money in the long run. Things like the bed package and running boards. I think its better to not add the package and invest a little elbow grease (or even lesser money) for some items. Ram...

    Hello, excited to become a Ram owner!

    The major thing I noticed was, okay my doors are leaking. Let me search some forums on how to fix it. And more than 50% of the answers I found were "tHaT's JeEp LiFe FoR yA". Like, no. I didnt spend 25k+ to be told thats what owning the vehicle is all about. Like seriously? The amount of people...
