    Am considering a new Ford Hybrid??

    I was a long-time Ford owner (owned five of them) and finally tried every brand in 2015 before settling on a Ram. I am now on my second one and can't believe the difference in quality, not only interior but just mechanical. Everyone's experience may be different, and individual trucks are all...

    4% Under Invoice on a new Ram 1500 Order

    Mine is looking at the A5 Sportback, similar but smaller than your Q5.

    4% Under Invoice on a new Ram 1500 Order

    I wish that my wife was buying a Ram instead of an Audi. You would have our business.

    Amp and speaker upgrades

    I mounted my sub amp and bypass under the drivers seat. I pulled out the ANC and the bracket that held it in place. There was just enough room. Sorry, I don't have any experience with the center console but don't see any reason for it not to work.

    Does RAM re-sell trucks they buy back?

    In 2019, my wife leased a 1yr old BMW that had about 4,300 miles on it. It was supposedly a dealer car. Either way, it has been trouble free except for the fact that it's a BMW and therefore requires it to coddled....like a "standard" brake fluid flush at 20,000 miles. WTF is that about?

    The best rear axle ratio for me

    I had a 2015 Bighorn with 3.21 gears. All summer I tow my 16.5' boat with 90hp motor roughly 500 miles round trip to my cabin, basically flat from Minneapolis to the Canadian border. In the winter I tow my two snowmobiles. Neither setup weighs a ton. The 2015 with 3.21 gears did just fine...

    Trailer connected and rear parking off issue

    I do deal with it. It's still dumb.

    P0455 Engine Code on 5th Gen

    Thanks. I visually inspected it when I tossed in some more gas the other day. It all looks good, but I can't say that I looked too hard previously.

    Trailer connected and rear parking off issue

    It's dumb that only a 7 pin should trigger this. It should work on the 4-pin as well. It's still a trailer.

    P0455 Engine Code on 5th Gen

    My 2021 1500 has about 20,500 miles and just threw its first code - the P0455 for Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (large leak). Since these trucks don't have gas caps, are there any other easy things to check before I have to drag the beast into the dealer?

    Unidentified object on driveshaft

    Thanks, I appreciate the response.

    Anyone else annoyed by the "side pockets" on the center console? Ideas for them?

    If you've got a beard, that becomes the pre-filter for the crumb catcher in the truck.

    Well, it’s broken:(

    I use my 4-low often. With machinery it's use it or lose it. When I pulled my boat out of the lake, I usually switch to 4-low just to get those gears some use. If I get stuck in the snow on a lake, 4-low to creep out. Now, I did notice that the OP mentioned something about turning the wheel...

    6.4 bed air mattress recommendations?

    You may not care for this advice, but I'm not an air mattress person. They are great to sleep on but seem to develop leaks no matter how careful you are with them. I would look for either some good sleeping pads (like you'd use in a tent) or even some high quality low profile cots. We used to...

    Sub Location Ideas?

    Similar to MoreOvalteenPlz, I put a sub under the rear passenger-side seat. I built a custom box with mdx board, glue, silicone, and some speaker fabric. It cost me all of $35 in supplies and my 10yr old daughter had fun working on a project with me. What I like is that when I need the space, I...

    Sub install

    Yup, run a dedicated wire that is made for amps. My amp is mounted under the drivers seat with the wire running under the plastic sill plate. It then goes through the firewall directly to the battery (with an inline fuse).

    My Longhorn is Built but ...

    I bought my Bighorn off of the lot and it has tinted windows. With that rear window tint, if I leave anything on the floor in the back of the truck nobody can see it. If you have a tonneau cover or a cap, nobody is going to break into that either unless you're hauling gold bars across the...

    Tailgate problems…

    Good call about tonneau covers. That juncture can cause some ice buildup.
