Man, I just lost a lot of brain cells reading through the last 10 pages of this thread. Worth every second of it though. I'm surprised the obvious solution hasn't been brought up on this debate. The perfect compromise.....3.21 in the rear diff, and 3.92 in the front. Best of both worlds! Or...

Looks sharp. White on white on white. Toppers are awesome, the only downside is the ridiculous price.

Well that's fun! I'm going Sahara Tan. Cool look, never gets dirty.

This was a ridiculous comment. I can afford to pay for gas for my truck if it got up to $30/gallon. That sure as hell doesn't mean I should be wasteful by driving like a maniac because I can afford to, that would simply be greedy and stupid. I bought my truck for the ability to haul loads...

I hear you. Just washed my truck last week for the first time in 5 months. Then drove to work a few days later. All was lost. I'm impressed by your late spring snow piles, where do you live?

Parking definitely takes some getting used to. At this point I don't even bother trying to squeeze into spots, I just drive to the back of the lot and take the low hanging fruit. Tight radius parking ramps can be relative terrifying.

Yep. 16 gauge steel, 3/4" wide cut into 12" long pieces, a few basic bends in a bench vise with a hammer, and a hole drilled so that it could mount with the topper clamp bolt. Slid a piece of 1" heater hose over it for some cushion. Skis live in the back of my truck 8 months of the year, so...

When I was test driving trucks, I brought home a short box (on an F150) and realized neither my 177cm or 181cm skis could lay flat in the bed of the truck. It was at that point that I decided the 5'7" bed trucks were strictly for soccer moms. As it is even with the 6'4" bed they just barely fit.

Pretty simple equation for me. I have a Ram/Ford dealer in town. Nearest place to get a GM vehicle serviced is about an hour away. Hour and a half drive to get a Toyota serviced. Not worth it. We bought a 2017 Durango from our local dealer a few years ago and have been treated wonderfully...

I would love to have seen a plug in hybrid truck years ago. Originally Rivian was planning one, but ditched it and went straight to the full EV. If Ram ends up making one paired with this new I6 engine, I will be trading in my Hemi right away. Seems kind of doubtful the plug in hybrid truck...

Two very good points to picking white over other colors. Personally (and of course color selection might be the most personal of all options for your truck) I have never liked the look of white vehicles. I think Granite looks great. I have Max Steel, another very dark color, and love it...

Looking forward to washing my truck in a few more weeks when winter is winding down, the poor thing hasn't been properly cleaned since September.

The same guy driving like a nut job also gets 8mpg as he's wearing down his brakes at a 5x rate. Replaced pads at 85,000 miles on my 2014 Silverado last year before I traded it in for the Ram. They definitely still had life left in them though.

You forgot the Squish cycle. Unless you are proposing we create a new 3 cycle engine to compete with the EVs?

I've been shopping around for a Polaris Ranger UTV the last few weeks, and have had multiple powersports dealers tell me they aren't selling to out of state customers, but some are. Think it's just each dealer's preference.

That's a slick looking topper! Are you happy with the fit? I was actually leaning toward that model, but the local ARE dealer treated me like trash, so I drove 3 hours to get a Leer. Customer service is a real thing that amazingly a lot of business owners don't understand.

When you say highway, are you talking 80mph on the interstate? My highway driving is on a 55mph highway on my commute. Reasonable highway speeds are way more efficient than interstate speeds.

Averaging right at 18mpg after 12K miles. I'd guess that's about 60% hwy vs 40% city miles. Definitely notice it dropping 1-2mpgs in the winter with cold lubes, dense air, 4wd usage, and winter blend fuel. All told I'm pretty happy with that number for a 5,000lb V8 truck.

That's some of the worst luck I think I've ever heard of.

I don't believe there is an alert for too much air pressure. My truck came delivered with 50 psi in the tires! I drove it for a week before I realized it, and never remember seeing any alerts or notifications from the truck that they were overfilled.
