    New Tailgate

    I think it's great. More useful and practical than the GMC

    Interesting that brake light goes out when turn signal is on

    I can't help but wonder about the internal Mopar discussions on this. The Durango has sort of an opposite issue. The turn signals are red... and I seem to recall Ram making a point about the new truck turn signals being made amber for better contrast. On the Durango, the red turn signal is very...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Idk about September; seems late to me. The new tailgate just revealed. Ram says 2Q availability (Mar to Jun 2019). I was assuming THIS would coincide with the 2020 MY. Also the ecoDiesel. Ram says will be available summer 2019. I'm assuming also this will be a 2020 MY truck.

    Ford F-150 Harley Davidson $97415.00

    I'm not a Harley fan either. Not at all. Could this be a "feeler" truck? All of the brands say they haven't found the ceiling for what people will pay for a premium truck. It's debatable how premium this truck is, but seems like a safe way to test the waters.

    GMC Sierra Denali... fail

    @Jared B ha! Indeed. These two guys are obnoxious at first, but give them a chance and you'll enjoy their work. We'll need a whole 'nother thread to talk about the Ford :geek: Yup... mirrors had to be deployed in the normal position because the reviewer stepped through each camera view and the...

    GMC Sierra Denali... fail

    It's as if they ran out of budget after designing that tailgate. This is no longer a premium brand. If the tiny 24 gallon fuel tank wasn't enough to send you running away, I just learned it doesn't have adaptive cruise control. Instead, they give you something called "Following Distance...

    Ram Introduces New Multi-function Tailgate In Chicago:

    I had no idea, J. If he's like that I don't even want to mention the name lest people wander over there and get bad info. I like the style and tempo here much better, for sure; much more even keeled and solid. That much is plainly obvious. This tailgate info may seem like a simple thing but it...

    Ram Introduces New Multi-function Tailgate In Chicago:

    Thanks for that input, J. IIUC the Hellcat uses a twin-screw type supercharger, which, different from turbo's, don't need to be rev'd high to create torque. Now that you mention it, I can see it being a good fit for a work truck and not just for a high performance car. Btw "idiot" is the...

    Are they finalling electrifying tow mirrors?

    I think some progress is being made. The Tow Mirrors on the HD are power-fold and support surround view camera. I'd wager this trickles into the 2020 1500's... with hopefully an OEM upgrade path.

    Ram Introduces New Multi-function Tailgate In Chicago:

    I thought sport sedans were competitive, but they've got nothing on pickups. It's good to be the beneficiaries of the Big 3 one-ups-manship game. Mopar seemed to have turned a corner about 20 years ago and got VERY good at designing gas engines. The 5.7, 6.1, 6.2 Hellcat, and 6.4 have all been...

    Ram Introduces New Multi-function Tailgate In Chicago:

    Sounds reasonable, Chris. I need to see this in person before ordering. If it's as solid as I think it is... game on. I would be hesitant, though, if there was any vertical slop or sway in the swing gates. It would bother me to no end if these things were weak and led to vertical misalignment...

    Parking brake

    I seem to recall some kind of malfunction in that incident, something Mopar recalled and fixed? I don't remember it exactly.

    New build, issues with fuel tank size

    Thirdly, which you might know, sometimes factory or supply hiccups introduce temporary restrictions of options or combinations. Best bet to get to a dealer and let them tell you what Dealer Connect says.

    Tint/ protection recommendations

    FormulaOne (Lumar) Pinnacle Series A few things: 1. Tint is worth spending a little bit of money on, both the product itself and the installation. If either is bad, you'll hate your truck or spend money again to redo it. 2. Ceramic yes but take care; some are reported to block phone signals...

    Ram Introduces New Multi-function Tailgate In Chicago:

    Why would this weigh 75 pounds more than the regular tailgate? Surely a few more hinges and latches don't weigh that much. Given this, and Ram's comment that the box needs to be replaced for retrofitting, is most of this weight due to beefing up the box sides to handle a swing gate?
