    Turbo Lag

    i read somewhere EPA jumped on FCA on the early ecoboosts about emissions. FCA called the trucks in for a "recall" and the ones who did it described the same issue as a result. so its a their way to make emissions.

    Truck rear end sway

    I recently took our bumper dragger camper with our "new" Ram Crew Cab 6'4" box on its maiden voyage last weekend and was not impressed with the way it towed vs my silverado i used to tow it with. The chevy was rock solid. the rams rear end definitely feels less secure. i have airlift 5k bags on...

    Is the Laramie seats real leather?

    I did.. i didn't feel the need to include that in the first post. I fail to understand what a difference it makes. the pickup isn't even out of the warranty window yet. Mansplaining is explaining something in a oversimplified manner.

    Is the Laramie seats real leather?

    The damage was there when i bought the pickup. no need to explain the process. one would think the damage would be more than near the edge though if someone was not entering and exiting the pickup properly

    Is the Laramie seats real leather?

    Well you sound pretty sure of yourself so i have no choice but to believe you haha ;) I purchased this truck used so i dont know what if any maintenance the previous owner did. just find the wear a little unacceptable for the miles that are on it. I will be searching for some sort of repair kit

    Is the Laramie seats real leather?

    I got out of a silverado LTZ when i got this Laramie and the chevys leather seats were without a doubt real leather. The "leather-trimmed" seats in my Laramie are peeling like Vinyl does . :unsure: ..That is my gripe. Dont call them leather if that is not what they are. .

    2019-2020 ram 1500 Reliability

    nothing super noticeable. maybe a light tick but everyone seems to call that the "HEMI TICK" and chock it as normal. Have you seen cam issues with the 5th gens? from my knowlage they changed the lifter manufacturer in 2017 and it seemed to help.
