    Bed Mat over Spray-In Liner?

    Had Line-X Premium installed onto my 2020 yesterday. While I love the look and the protection, this surface will probably damage any scratch-sensitive items (e.g. furniture). Does anyone use a Bed Mat over their spray-in bedliner? Looking for something with a soft surface. Recommendations are...

    Looking at this truck, good deal?

    FCA provides dealers with a limited number of “coupons” each month. Some of them are $1k, some are $250/ea. My dealer applied a total of $750 in coupons (which show up on the deal as additional rebate) to make the deal happen.

    Looking at this truck, good deal?

    Agreed, I am expecting 15-17 mixed. But my point was to illustrate that reaching near epa figures was possible on an eTorque.

    Looking at this truck, good deal?

    The truck had 132 miles when I took delivery. The first tank was 233.9 miles, manually calculated to 18.1. The computer showed 18.9. I am still on the current tank.

    Tonneau Cover: Lomax Hard Tri-Fold vs. Bakflip MX4

    Aside from the Bakflip MX4's ability to be folded up and placed against the cab, what other advantages does the Bakflip have? The Lomax appears to be less expensive and offer the same functionality.

    Looking at this truck, good deal?

    2020 Bighorn 4X2, 3.21, 5.7 eTorque and 18” wheels on my truck. No complaints with eTorque at all; start/stop is extremely smooth and the highway mpg has surpassed expectations. My first tank of 75% highway (at 75-80mph) was 18.1 manually calculated (4% lower than the computer). Current tank is...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Thanks for the idea - I just called and was advised that 20CL1 and 20CL5 are not compatible, but it is unclear if this can be circumvented if I was financed at unsubsidized rates. All of the other incentives except the Bonus Cash Coupon checked out.

    Trying to decide between three different configurations

    Long-term - I tend to keep my vehicles for 200k. MPG is always a consideration - I just do not want to wasting gas due to pointless options. Front passenger will be the wife and she likes her comfort features. I prefer buckets over the bench as well, but the wife feels there is some value to the...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Between the 7/4 incentives and the recent changes I am seeing $6k for the Bighorns. Possibly $7k if you count the consumer bonus cash coupon that some dealers are mentioning. How much better does it get? 1) 2020 National Retail Consumer Cash 20CL1 - $2,000 2) California BC Independence Day...

    Trying to decide between three different configurations

    Greetings - I am in the market for a new 1500 and am trying to decide between 3 different crew cab configurations: Truck A: Bighorn 4x2, 5.7 eTorque, Level 2 pkg, Anti-Spin Rear Diff, 3.21 gears and bucket seats. $34k + tax Truck B: Bighorn 4x4, 5.7, Level 2 pkg, Night Edition pkg, Anti-Spin...

    Driving Characteristics - 3.21/5.7 eTorque vs. 3.92/5.7

    Thanks for all of the responses. On a related note, how important is the anti-spin rear differential option on a 4X4 truck?

    What kind of fuel economy are you getting with the 3.21/eTorque combo?

    Driving Characteristics - 3.21/5.7 eTorque vs. 3.92/5.7

    Thanks. Can the start/stop be temporarily turned off on the non eTorque 5.7?

    Driving Characteristics - 3.21/5.7 eTorque vs. 3.92/5.7

    Hello, I am in the market for a Ram 1500 but have no plans to use the truck for towing. I am strongly considering 3.21 gears in order to maximize fuel economy but I also recognize that 3.92 gears may deliver better off-the-line acceleration. However, the eTorque system is supposed to provide...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I called it an "oddball" truck because most other Laramies had a sticker price in the mid-upper $50K range. Unfortunately this truck was sold, possibly a long time ago; the website was not current. In all honesty, 4wd and tow capabilities (e.g. 3.92 gears and brake controller) are...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    First post here. Looking a Ram 1500 priced around 40K with equipment that is equal or better to the Level 2 Bighorn Pkg, Anti-Slip Rear Diff and Hemi (non-etorque). If I can squeeze in 4wd and leather at this price range, it is a plus. Currently undecided in regards to the 3.21 vs 3.92 gears...
