    2020 Window Sticker (Laramie Longhorn) That I Tripped Across

    The tonneau works on this particular truck because of the RAM boxes. With the RAM boxes, you don't have the MFT braces at the front of the bed, because either the boxes provide the lateral stiffness, or they are hidden inside the boxes. My truck has the MFT (no RAM boxes), and the only way to...

    Tow Mirrors, power folding option?

    I don't understand why they didn't just use the HD mirrors. When I got my Limited in June the dealer's inventory was pretty slim, so when I saw a truck with the exterior and interior colors I wanted for 30% off, I had to do it. But, I had NO idea about the tow package deleting the 360 cameras...

    Forward collision sensors malfunction on overhead metal structures/overpasses.

    Is it possible that the museum is using some sort of sonar for a display or to monitor the overpass? If so, maybe it's the same frequency the collision sensors use and it's confusing them.

    My first new vehicle.

    Don't get the Tow Package unless you REALLY need the tow mirrors. If you get the Tow Package it eliminates the 360 camera, even if you have an equipment package that includes it. You can get the trailer brake as a separate add on for less, and you'll retain the surround cameras. I learned that...

    Enjoying my 19 Limited so far!

    Interesting observation regarding the size and practicality in close quarters. I traded in a 2017 Nissan Titan XD for my Limited, and it feels like a Matchbox car by comparison. That being said though, compared to my 2011 Chevy Avalanche, it does feel a bit more cumbersome in parking lots, but...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Truth. I don't have RAM boxes or eTorque and my Limited was just a shade under $67K. Fortunately, I bought it at the end of June, and we all know about those deals! Sent from my SM-G975U1 using Tapatalk

    North Package Question

    The darn Tow Package...and I was just starting to get over that one.

    “Dual function” tailgate exists

    Did you ever get the topper for your truck? I'm curious if it fits with the braces in place.

    Post pics of your Ram!

    I really like the way that looks. The skinny stock tires on the 22's worry me, because of the to tiny side walls. Those are better. Do you have the air suspension? If so, any rubbing in entry/exit or aero modes? Sent from my SM-G975U1 using Tapatalk

    “Dual function” tailgate exists

    I agree, a little bit of modification would have to be done, but I like the look and functionality of that! Sent from my SM-G975U1 using Tapatalk

    “Dual function” tailgate exists

    Yeah, it looks like they could work. But, I like those for securing loads, and it looks like they were in place when the bed liner was sprayed in, so I'm good. Sent from my SM-G975U1 using Tapatalk

    “Dual function” tailgate exists

    The clamps need to be pushed down vertically to secure them, which won't work for me because of the BUG rails. But, if you don't have the bed utility group, it looks like it could work! Sent from my SM-G975U1 using Tapatalk

    Circling back on this, here are some photos of the BUG rail and the bedcover clamps. You can see the braces in the front and where the clamps attach to the rear of them. Sent from my SM-G975U1 using Tapatalk

    But, the braces live at the top of the bed, not at the bottom where a lowered tailgate would still provide structural stiffness. I would think the only time a tailgate provides stiffness at the top is when it's closed. Also, the bedsides are attached at the bottom the entire length of the bed...

    Excellent point. I've driven past trucks with the tailgate down many times to accommodate a long load, and nothing ever happened to the beds on those.

    Interesting observation...the mystery continues.

    “Dual function” tailgate exists

    Those rails for the divider are different than the BUG ones, but the issue seems similar. Here is what the Gator looks like installed. It too sits on top of the bedsides, but it's slightly lower profile. It looks like a soft vinyl cover, but there are hard security panels underneath.
