    My 2019 Laramie Sport road trip review

    Mine is the Laramie Sport package, not the black package. I believe the only difference is the chrome vs black badging and the wheels. The wireless charger IS finicky, although my dealer agreed that mine is also defective as it will do the flashing red light thing most of the time even if...

    Upgrade or “Downgrade” Sound system on 2019 Limited

    Have you turned off the “surround sound” setting ? That helps..

    Park Assist

    I have to admit of all the features on the loaded trucks, this one feels pretty worthless. I've used it 4 times mostly to show friends "look what the truck can do" and it is about 5x slower than parking the truck yourself. It is fascinating to watch, but a pretty slow and painful process. At...

    How bright are the 2019 Ram Lights

    The LEDs are great. I had aftermarket HIDs in my fog lights on my 2011 which made a tremendous difference and I never got flashed while driving. No regrets about the factory (Laramie) LEDs in my 2019, I’d say they are as good as anything else I’ve ever driven and possibly the best. I’ve had...

    Spray on bed liner

    Same issue on mine with the bed light plugs falling out after line-x. I paid $600 for the "premium" line-x treatment. Happy with it so far.

    Transmission stuck in gear!!

    The +/- buttons on the steering wheel (right side, under your thumb) will restrict the maximum gear... you likely hit one of these when you were in 3rd/4th gear.

    Washing the sport hood

    Same situation here, I usually pop the hood for a minute when I'm down washing. While I didn't expect the "vents" to be especially functional, I was a bit disappointed when I discovered that water pools in them.

    onboard thermometer

    Mine was pretty ridiculous during the high temps we had in august. I was seeing temps of 104 listed after being parked a while, whereas the "actual" outside temperature was mid 90s. It does feel less accurate than other vehicles I've had, although I am used to those going high while parked and...

    ROUGH starts on cold starts?

    Obviously that's not ok. Get that truck to the dealer asap.

    Same here, I was getting weather advisories for days for the Miami area.

    Can anyone actually tell the difference i power between the 5.7 and 5.7 with Etorque? Please post.

    According to my cluster, my truck (about 3500 miles) has spent 100 hours driving and 20 hours at idle. That's 15% of the time the engine didn't "need" to be running. That is a pretty dramatic figure. I didn't buy the etorque because I didn't want to deal with first gen problems, but there's...

    2019 Bed Light Kit Install Question

    Yeah I was ok with the $100 and even with having to wire it myself, but that’s a bit of a joke that the dealer has to flash a code to enable them. No way I’m paying the inevitable $75 for that. I didn’t get the utility group because I didn’t like the rails and frankly wasn’t crazy about the...

    Oil Leak??

    Yes, unlike 2 BMWs, my 3 HEMI vehicles have all been free of any oil or transmission leaks, and I sold all of those around the 7/8 year mark still leak free.

    Whistle noise with recirculate air on

    If you pull out the glove box you can remove the cabin air filter (just a couple mins) and actually see the recirc door. Doing that you may see something in there?

    How to properly break in an engine?

    That's practically the opposite of what the owners manual tells you to do. Even towing - no towing first few hundred miles. Running up to the speed limiter a few times is a terrible idea. Common sense applies here. Don't take it TOO easy on the truck but don't flog it either. Drive like a...

    Tires and difference in ride.

    This will sound silly, but have you checked to see what the current tires are inflated to? A change of even 5 psi can lead to a very different ride. I have the 4x4 non-offroad package and I find the ride to be notably more comfortable than my 2011 sport was. For appearance and wheel...

    I'd love to say good things, but...

    It is almost certainly the fresh air/recirc vent - however I can't figure out any pattern to when it opens. It is pretty loud when you're going 70+, and I've heard it on relatively short interstate trips in the first 30 mins.

    I'd love to say good things, but...

    In case someone starts playing the "luxury car" card, I have two early-release Honda CR-Vs and got 2016 Honda Pilot the day it rolled off the truck vin #000001300 and they all made it 3 years without a single issue. I also have a BMW that has been in the shop more times than I can count, but...

    Monster Door Ding

    A/C Performance

    This is nice to say, but if you're one of the handful, and your SEVEN local dealers are all terrible, it is the kind of thing you really want the factory to up their game on. I wish I had somebody else local where I could park my truck side by side with theirs and compare what is coming out of...
