    Bed Divider Needed for Hauling Smaller Items

    There’s many ways to do this! You don’t need to spend much money. Myself I have a old plastic tote that’s strapped near my tailgate. The bigger thing is buy a good bed cover to keep your stuff dry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    AC is Cold, rear window/brake light doesn't leak, and I get great fuel mileage on my 4x4 3.92 E Torque 5.7L

    No issues with my 19 bighorn. My air conditioner works just fine. Other then the small rock chip in the windshield. I’m happy with this truck. 8600 miles and my average is near 19. 5.7 3.92 non e torque. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Adding tie down locations

    I’m sticking with the factor four! Those bed rails scare me. They might be ok for small light weight loads. But I’d never trust them on anything heavy. Years back, friend of mine added tie downs to a cargo trailer. Hauling garden tractors. He got pulled over by the state. After two cops crawled...

    Front Wheel Fell OFF!

    Glad,nobody was hurt! Hopefully this isn’t the start of a massive recall. First one I’ve seen. The only time I’ve seen a wheel come off, sitting in traffic the small car in front of me. Got impatient and decided to gas it into the small shopping center to our right, he turn right into a massive...

    Realtruck.com probs; stay away!

    Friend of mine, bought a light strip from them. He tested it, and it didn’t work. After a few e nails and phone calls. They blamed it on him! He ate $130 bucks. And they lost a customer forever. Consider he buys a new truck every two years. He will never order from them again. I don’t have any...

    Spray in bed-liner

    Line x,and cover it with a rubber mat. I found one on amazon for under$90. Years back on my 04 with a rino liner. I was cutting firewood and throwing the wood into the bed. I was shocked that my truck bed now looked like the surface of a golf ball. Everywhere a log hit, there was a dent! Sent...

    Are our windshields prone to damage?

    All brands have stone chip issues. Probably the only way to solve this issue. Would be to have the truck delivered on a flat bed, and park it in your garage. My 97 Jeep need a windshield every spring. I was on a first name bases with the repair shop. If you think a tiny rock is bad. Wait till...

    Payments...

    My first new car, way back in 1994 cost 12k and that was a lot of money. My first truck was 19k and I thought how will I pay this off. Now we are spending 40k plus for a low trim level. And people look at me like I’m poor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do I need skid plates?

    From your use, you’d be fine without the skid plates. Maybe it’s just how I role, but spending $40k + for a truck and taking it off-road is silly to me. I’d rather use my side by side. Where if I wreck it. I’m not crying over it. In my younger days we bought used trucks that where already...

    drive in movie time

    Throw some comfy chairs in the bed, back up towards the screen and open the slider. Nothing better then watching a movie from a truck bed! Our small lap dogs also enjoy the show! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ram 1500 vs 5.3L Sierra

    I looked at the Chevy, sharp looking truck, till you open the door! Just couldn’t get past that interior, looks dated. Perhaps they fix they rear end issue and transmission. That everyone I work with seem to have on the GM trucks. As far as my mileage I average 16-17 city highway combo. With my...

    Update - Wife (and I) grabbed a 2019 Rebel

    Beware of the f150. I traded my 18 f150 because it had a lot of issues, that my local dealer didn’t seem able to fix. Frozen doors. (Had to hold drivers door shut while driving 20 miles to work) that’s fun! IWE issue and broken wires near the fuel tank. So far my 2019 ram has been a great truck...

    Window Tint Officially Installed

    Here in Pennsylvania, window tinting is a great way to help offset all the red ink on the governments books. Seems like the only the the states good at is issuing fines! I’m waiting or the state to open window tinting shops in every town. Only to pull you over 1/2 down the street. Sent from...

    Growling brakes in Reverse!

    My 2019 had this sound. I only notice, on a cold morning and last just a few seconds. My solution was backing up to the garage door. Now when I leave the house at 5 am there’s no noise. Haven’t had a problem with it since. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What's the No. 1 thing that disappointed you the most about your truck ?

    My level two bighorn has everything I need! I love this truck. Coming from a broken 2.7 f150. I really have no complaints. The only thing I regret is having the dealership install mopar splash guards. After seeing how they trap and hold dirt in the large pocket, should have gone with...

    I want to buy a new truck, any tips on dealing with car dealers?

    Your first mistake is looking at Ford. They are junk! When I’m looking, I call every dealership in my area about a 30 mile radius. If they are toolbars on the phone, I cross them off my list. If they work with me a little and don’t laugh when at my always low budget. If you tell them 65k they...
