    My Laramie Sport finally made it to the dealer..

    Now that is crazy. Mine did arrive the way I expected it. Is the rest of your truck chrome? Maybe this is another package difference - I should have asked, is yours a _laramie_ sport? Wait, now I'm even more confused, in a quick look at the US config tool, I can't see any way to get the...

    Auto Release Tailgate

    I haven't gotten around to checking if the tailgate will release in motion or if any of the proximity sensors will stop it from opening. It is an interesting feature, but I agree it has some risk. The release button is in the roof center console, I've had a couple passengers poking around with...

    My Laramie Sport finally made it to the dealer..

    Are you in Canada? The Canadian Sport has blackout badging but AFAIK all the US "sport" trims have chrome. I preferred the chrome wheels and generally like the chrome badges, although I may replace those hood emblems with black.

    Dealer recommendation - Craig Benner @ Koons VA (I drove 1000 miles to pick up my Ram...)

    Wanted to follow-up, I got my vehicle registration and a $500 refund check (taxes I assume) from the dealer via FedEx today. (y)(y)

    My 2019 Laramie Sport road trip review

    That sounds right - I did see that warning once or twice when fooling around with the system.

    Wireless charging pad.. red blinking light almost all the time?

    That's my assumption. It does work fine about half the time when the phone is centered on the charging area. But almost all the rest of the time, blinking red light.

    My 2019 Laramie Sport road trip review

    Was going to say this. In the US, the Laramie Sport package has chrome tips, badging, and wheels. (Note the build-and-price recently added black wheels as an upcharge option) The Canadian “sport” package appears to be more like a US Laramie black? But not identical.

    Limited or Laramie

    I picked up my Laramie sport last week. I had the same concerns you did - my only regret is that down the road I am sure I'll take a hit on resale. However, the truck is great - I'm a fan of the interior and it LOOKS every bit as good, but have not compared quality of leather etc side-by-side...

    Dealer recommendation - Craig Benner @ Koons VA (I drove 1000 miles to pick up my Ram...)

    I didn't mean to steer my own thread off topic. I'm ok with it. Saved me 45 miles of break in and who knows what (if anything) they may have tweaked (fixed) after the drive. "This vehicle has been subjected to a Quality Assurance Test. An important part of our Quality Improvement Process is...

    Wireless charging pad.. red blinking light almost all the time?

    To others with the wireless charging pad - if I had to estimate what the status of my light is: When there is no phone on the pad: - 95% of the time flashing red LED - 5% of the time LED turned off When I place my iphone on the pad just right: - 50% of the time blue charging LED - 45% of the...

    Dealer recommendation - Craig Benner @ Koons VA (I drove 1000 miles to pick up my Ram...)

    I don't think that info will be too helpful for you - I posted in the order status thread a few times, but I think that there's a lot of variability for when your order goes in vs what they are building on any given week, as well as what is going on with individual options etc. My order date...

    My 2019 Laramie Sport road trip review

    It doesn't beep - there's a display in the instrument cluster that will go yellow, and the steering wheel will physically turn to nudge you back into the lane as it sees fit. It is a surprisingly non-intrusive system - when it is enabled, you must use your blinker to indicate a lane change...

    Dealer recommendation - Craig Benner @ Koons VA (I drove 1000 miles to pick up my Ram...)

    I had a number of people ask me why I drove 1000 miles to pick up my Ram. I did it to save $4000-5000 over the price I got locally, and wasn't a bad road trip with some stops on the way. I used Craig Benner at Koons Ram in Tysons Corner, VA. He had run Jeep Wrangler group buys in the past...

    My 2019 Laramie Sport road trip review

    I like the wheels more than I thought I would, but I think they do look a bit smaller because of the complexity of the design. My other truck has the blocky aluminum sport wheels on it (I swapped my 2011 sport chrome clads out) and the older wheels look bigger from a distance. I'd have to look...

    My 2019 Laramie Sport road trip review

    Drove my Laramie Sport Crew Cab home from the dealer last week - it was a 1000 mile trip but I saved a few thousand dollars and did some sightseeing along the way. I'm coming out of a 2011 Sport Quad Cab which has treated me well. I didn't like the wood trim and chrome on the higher-end...

    Ram Dealer Premium Service

    I have one dealer within walking distance from my house (I avoid them for anything but the occasional oil change) and another 5 within a 30 minute drive. They are all pretty awful. It has gotten to the point where when I dropped my previous truck off for service, I would print out in 30 point...

    Alpine, and harmon. 8.4, and 12"

    Unfortunately agreed on the Harmon system volume. I’m happy with sound quality overall but was literally driving the truck home from the dealer and was “comfortably” listening to xm radio with the volume knob at 100%. I did not try other audio sources. I did disable surround sound, it was...

    Dealer Arrivals

    Absolutely. No wood in the Laramie sport, interior all black and looks great. The trim above the console and radio is a nice gloss black, hard to explain - almost a faux carbon fiber look. Looks good. Of the top of my head, the door panels don’t have any special trim on them - it’s either...
