    Adaptive cruise control

    Thanks for the info! The real question is whether upgrading will be easier on a 2021 since those now come with LDW and FCW standard, vs. in 2020 when none of that was available outside the Advanced Safety Group.

    Does the air suspension remove need for a weight distribution hitch?

    I’m a towing newbie, but the times I did tow with my F150, it was recommended that I use a weight distribution hitch. The trailer weight around 5500 lb with everything inside. If you have a Ram with the air suspension, do you still need a WDH? It was kind of a pain to connect and quite noisy...

    Must have options on your RAM

    i love the idea if the RamBox, but from what I’ve read, it prevents a tonneau cover from making a good seal worth the truck bed, resulting in a lot of water leakage.

    eTorque basically required now?

    Am getting ready to pull the trigger on my order. The online configuration is wonky, so just want to be sure: I don’t want eTorque, but the online configurator basically makes it obligatory once I add any decent options. Is this a real issue, or is the configurator just buggy? I could ask my...

    2021 Configurator

    Advanced safety group also required level 2 Laramie for 2020, which is incredibly annoying.

    Thoughts on rear seat ride quality?

    Hi all, My current vehicle has pretty good ride quality up front, but awful ride quality in the rear. I sit on the rear seat quite a bit because we have a baby. I wasn’t able to test this when I did my test drive in the Ram. Does the very good ride quality up front also hold up in the rear...

    My '21 Limited and what's new...

    Can someone explain the benefit of a digital mirror? Does it display things that a regular mirror doesn’t?

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    A stripped down Big Horn will hold its value pretty well. One with a lot of options won’t.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    14 percent off is slick, especially if that is after fees. I’d take it. Are you anywhere near the west coast? If so, mind if I ask which dealer? Can PM me if you prefer.

    Mountain Brown cloth interior: how hard to keep clean?

    Hi all, The mountain brown interior is pretty rare relative to gray and black. For those who have it, how hard is it to keep clean? I’ll be taking it skiing, hiking, mountain biking, etc, so I expect interior to see quite a bit of dirt, sand, sunscreen, and damp clothing. Do you wish you had...

    Best alternative to “Bed Utility Group” and “Wheel to Wheel Side step” options?

    I will definitely need a bed liner of some sort, and also side steps for my young child. For 2021, that will cost me $1,800, which seems like a lot. Thoughts on the best more economical alternative to the factory Bed Utility Group and Wheel to Wheel Sidesteps options? Thanks!

    Can’t buy adaptive cruise control for under 60k? Ram must not have seen Ford’s pricing.

    Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking is standard on many 2021 Rams. Adaptive cruise uses the same hardware.

    Can’t buy adaptive cruise control for under 60k? Ram must not have seen Ford’s pricing.

    At least they should’ve offered it with just level 1. Or decreased the price, since all the hardware is already standard on a base Laramie, yet the advanced safety group is still the same price as last year. Not sure I can spend 55k on a vehicle and not be able to get a 25 year old technology...

    Can’t buy adaptive cruise control for under 60k? Ram must not have seen Ford’s pricing.

    Pretty shocked that there is no way to get adaptive cruise on a 4WD Crew cab without paying 60-70k. I noticed the 2021 F-150 has it on models selling for a fraction of the price. It’s doubly crazy since all the necessary hardware is available on the $595 package for Big Horn and Tradesman. All...

    Get a 2020 or order a 2021?

    Yeah, really annoyed that they basically force you to get eTorque if you want any of the packages. I’m glad it’s only 200 dollars more, but the repair cost will be $2000 more at least.

    2021 Configurator now live on website

    Yup me either. Also, electronic locking diff shows up as zero dollars, but adds like 700 dollars if you click it. Needs work.

    Rear wheel well liner

    If you paid to buy them, and they forgot to install part of it, ask the dealer to fix it for free.

    Best looking camper top for 1500?

    A few different companies make camper tops. Which do you think is the most attractive/best integrated?

    Insights into 2021 Ram based on TRX information.

    My guess is that they were going to go to Uconnect 5 but due to production shutdown they have a huge supply of Uconnect 4 units that they didn’t get to use. Thus, they are going to keep producing Rams with Uconnect 4 into 2021 so that their supply of Uconnect 4 hardware doesn’t go to waste...

    Insights into 2021 Ram based on TRX information.

    Annoyingly, other than the TRX, Ram is not discussing 2021 models until September 1st. My main question is whether Uconnect 5 will be included, but I couldn’t find anything in the TRX info. There is a picture of the new HUD which is useful, as well as the new trailer brake controller. However...
