    RAM BackCountry on the way for next week delivery

    I'm not a fan of running boards on trucks, but was glad my BC came with them because my wife just had a knee replaced and needs the step to get in. Thinking about swapping them out for the rails with steps in them. It is kinda B.S. that they dropped them from the package, but didn't change the...

    Why did you choose Ram?

    I wanted a Hemi since being a kid in the 70s. I was a Nissan guy for years, but they have been junk since the merger with Renault (my last Nissan was an 03 still pre merger designs). After a year of one issue after another with a near 20 year old truck, I started shopping. I hate Ford, always...

    Sunroof leak

    Sounds like a lot of tinkering with the roof but not a single check of the drains for a clog?

    Why aren't there a lot of canopies on trucks out there?

    I had a work box type on my last truck, I bought the truck used with it on there. It came down all the way to the bed in the back so it had no tailgate, rather a full back lift door. It was great for work, and hauling some things, but most of the time it was just big and annoying. I loved the...

    BackCountry tonneau cover

    Yep, soft trifold, held on with 4 quick release clamps, 2 front panel and 2 on the rear panel. Then it has little bumpers that extend down and sit inside the rails to keep it in position. Had mine off last weekend, less than a minute by myself, same for reinstall.

    Does RAM re-sell trucks they buy back?

    Last I heard not all states require a lemon law notice on the title.

    New Truck Quality Issues - How Picky Should I Be?

    For the weather, do a full reset on the Uconnect, it has fixed it for a few of us now.

    Hi-Lift mount

    I bought the kit for the Toyota rails, it was open box and about $40 cheaper than the Jeep ones. Works perfect, just had to trim the bolts down 3/8" because they bottomed out on the back of the rail. I have a post about it in the off road section.

    What max payload looks like

    Like most engineering, the rating is always well below fail point. Just feels like it is ridiculously low on these. Like it was slapped on to fit the "class" rather than the actual ability.

    One nice part of the Back Country, black aluminum 18s.

    2022 Backcountry test drive

    I honestly didn't follow mine that close, but it was just shy of 2 months from order to delivery, with holidays in between (12/21-2/18). The only part that takes extra time is the bed liner, but even that only takes half a day to prep, paint and dry.

    What max payload looks like

    Still had plenty of room under the bump stops.... For now I'll just wait until the warranty is up before exceeding the sticker.

    We’re getting a baby brother

    So a new "Dakota" based on a Gladiator platform?

    What max payload looks like

    Feels a tad under rated. I was putting that much in my old Nissan.

    Installing a sunroof after purchase.

    Loving my sunroof, it was a last minute add on my order. The main reason I wanted it was to be able to keep an eye on any loads I may carry that extend over the cab. I had a load on my old truck shift once and I wasn't aware until someone flagged me down, it was a crew cab Frontier with no sunroof.

    2022 Uconnect 5 Traffic and Weather

    Update on mine Yesterday they had me do a factory reset, and told me to wait 48 hours before creating a user account again. After doing the reset, nothing changed as far as functionality. This evening when I was going out to dinner everything was functioning for the first time, traffic weather...
