You probably need to be more specific. Are you saying that it's icing up and is tough to get it to move, but then it goes down like normal? Are you saying that it initially moves just fine but it is hard/slow to get it to complete the process of opening? Are you saying that the latch isn't...

I've been known to throw my ATV into the truck bed. I've hauled mattresses, couches, large boxes, lawn mowers, metal roofing panels, lots of wood 2x4s and 2x6s for the outhouse that I built last year, 2,500lbs of concrete for footings I made for a gazebo, etc. For all of these things, I just...

Yeah, to me it just sounds like one more thing that can break. The active air dam I couldn't care about, but if those active grill shutters fail in the closed condition then you could overheat I would assume.

I turned that auto-braking junk off shortly after getting my 2021. It freaked out backing up in my driveway with NOTHING within three car lengths. It also did it when I did an illegal Y-turn in the middle of a country highway. When I went to back up, it his the brakes on me and locked everything...

I finally installed tow hooks in my 2021 Big Horn, since Chrysler was too cheap to do it at the factory. When watching the install video (and in doing the work), I learned about these motorized air dams that all 5th Gen trucks have (unless you have air suspension) that activate above 35mph for...

As for Tow Mode, it hurts nothing to have it on. It just adjusts the shift points to lessen the burden. Unless you are doing this whole trip on city streets, it won't really do anything to your mileage. In fact, some guys drive around in Tow Mode without anything in tow just to get the Ram to...

I'm loving the hoe idea. That gets used for maybe one weekend a year in our yard. I guess the remaining 51 weekends will start being spent in my truck bed.

I've got the traditional tailgate. To be honest, I never even saw a truck on the lot with MFT that I looked at. It never crossed my mind, and besides tv commercials, have still never actually seen one. So I guess that ignorance is bliss. My solution for reaching things in the front of the bed...

As a former tow truck driver, I'll tell you that it is not their job to know your vehicle. We got paid a 25% commission of every job so time was money. I might have taken the time to figure it out if you were standing there, but if not and there is no access to your owners manual.....that thing...

I remember taking trains years ago, keeping my eyes off to the sides of the track looking for deer and moose that got launched into the fields after getting hit by trains. Not ever a good ending to mess with a train.

We live just outside of the Twin Cities. All of the storm water drains run directly to a nature preserve 1/2mile away. Therefore, washing a vehicle in your driveway is heavily discouraged. If my yard was big enough (and I hadn't planted a certain tree), I could park on the lawn to do it. At...

Tires with white lettering could be a nice break in all of the black. A well-placed pin stripe could also be just subtle enough to break things up without being too obvious.

The best way to prevent caked on bugs is to wash your truck more frequently. The longer they are on there, the longer they become one with your paint. Especially because I live in the winter salt belt, and because I do lots of summer trips into the woods, I have an annual unlimited carwash...

They both have cool names, but that's about it for similarities.

Great question. I discovered it this summer before installing new speakers. If I had the volume cranked up around 30, even listening to the radio, the moment I plug in my iphone the overall volume would turn down. It seems like plugging in turns on some kind of volume limiter. This happens when...

I opted for a truck with the 8.4" screen. I immediately regretted it in the day or so after purchase. However, once I drove it more I realized that I really do like the 8.4" screen and don't miss having a 12" at all. I do like having the knobs and buttons available. I hate searching menus for...

Monkeys will eat snakes too, and you can teach them to do stuff for you

A buddy and I just drove to Lambeau Field a few weeks ago. He hopped into my truck and instantly said, "What do you think of that knob?" I told him that it's now been six years without a lever and it's not even a thought in my consciousness. Have I reached for the shifter knob and accidentally...

Many folks are clueless in parking lots, scraping other cars without even knowing. Most vehicles driven by 80+yr olds have numerous scrape marks. Then again, same with many teenagers and people of all ages who generally are not spatially aware of their surroundings. Not everyone is a jerk...

Agreed, except the first thing I did was fill in a letter. Once I realized that the outlines looked better it was too late. It looks pretty slick from a few paces away and probably has a nice blue streak when rolling down the road.
