    2020 Ram 1500 multifunctional tailgate.

    I saw the same thing at my dealer yesterday. I closed the left-hand door with gusto, and it lined up just fine. Try opening and shutting the left door, it may solve that issue. -John

    2019 1500 Rear Step Recall (Part # 82215289AB)

    That's all that's included - according to previous posts, it's the parts kit, indicating a post-vehicle-sale installation. -John

    I saw a 2020 Limited on the lot this morning and it was very similar to mine, except it had the 20" wheels and the multifunction tailgate, whereas my truck has the 22" wheels and no MFT. Payload sticker read 1,177lbs (sorry, didn't get a pic). I was shocked that it was so low with the only...

    Great traction in bad weather

    You're probably driving more aggressively. I know in dry weather I can kick out the rear end of my truck by pressing too hard on the gas pedal. For winter, I'm hoping to get a set of 20" wheels and Goodyear Adventure w/Kevlar A/T tires. I had them on my F-150 and they were perfect for the...

    Tyger T1 Tonneau Cover

    Yep, sure did! The center section of my bed is lower than the bed rails by enough that the cover has a curve in it where it dips down in the middle, creating a slight gap at both sides. Doesn't seem to allow much - if any - water to intrude into the bed, so I'm happy with it. If I find it...

    “2020” Price Negotiated From MSRP

    What salesperson did you deal with? It might've been me that mentioned them - that's where I bought my truck. Most of the salespeople there are good and easy to work with, and they seem to know trucks more than most dealers I've been to. -John

    Tyger T1 Tonneau Cover

    FWIW, I loaded up my truck with family and cargo and drove to the beach on vacation. About 20 mins from our destination, we got POURED on. I didn't notice any more than maybe a few drops of water in the bed. It rained a couple of times with heavy winds while we were there, and still the bed...

    “2020” Price Negotiated From MSRP

    Yeah, I found it odd that the RAM dealers in my area (Washington, D.C.) all seem to do this - adding the destination fee back in. The Ford dealers don't do it (at least not when I've been shopping for one). That said, the dealers were all comparably-priced, and I got a decent deal for May...

    “2020” Price Negotiated From MSRP

    I worked with Connor Cool at Criswell's Gaithersburg CJDR location when I bought my 2019 Limited. Easy to work with and pretty knowledgeable about the trucks. -John

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Yeah, I see those "$X,000 over KBB" ads all the time in my area. There is usually an asterisk next to it, and the fine print says something like, "KBB fair trade-in value, minus $.XX per mile and wear/tear." It's usually not a great deal, but good luck! As for discounts, Criswell CJDR in...

    2019 vs. 2020 RAM 1500

    I'm in the DC area too, and it's been brutal this summer! My truck's A/C doesn't get as cold as a Classic I drove last week, or my wife's Escape, but it's definitely OK. Keeps me from sweating. 2 days of 90-95 with high humidity here today and tomorrow, we'll see how it feels in my truck...

    Major issue: Odometer Moving forward with start ups while vehicle is still in Park. 19’ 1500 Longhorn , build date 6/19/19!

    Yeah, I debated mentioning it or my 05 VN800B, or neither, and went with that one. My dad had a 78 too, which was why I got this one. Back on topic, I'm hoping the OP's issue is just the animation. -John

    Major issue: Odometer Moving forward with start ups while vehicle is still in Park. 19’ 1500 Longhorn , build date 6/19/19!

    Can you upload a video or two of this happening? I'm with the other posters though, it sounds like the normal startup procedure for the instrument cluster. Personally, I think it's neat. It reminds me of the trip odometer on my 79 KZ650SR. -John

    Air conditioning performance

    I'll take being slightly warmer to all the issues I had on my 2015 F-150, many of which still haven't been corrected in new production. (Namely, freezing door locks, IWE issues, and transmission problems)

    ^^^ and this folks, is why I don't plan to tow more than 5,000lbs. Because I don't like doing math, and I have no place to store a WDH. Also, thank you devildodge for boiling it down into layman's terms and making it understandable. There's a lot of calculation one *should* do before towing a...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Yep, this is true, especially in my highly-congested area, and with 2 little ones at home. That's why I didn't spend a huge amount of time running down the absolute best deal I could. I took a test drive on my own, one with my toddler, one with the whole family, and then one with just me. The...

    I haven't put my truck or trailer on a scale, just going by mfg-claimed weights. You're right, as is another poster, that WDH can change tongue weight. If the OP is going to tow something heavy, they need to do their due diligence and have everything weighed. -John

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Good eye! I had skimmed that info, but didn't notice the 1-lease-payment disclaimer. Wow, that's shady. -John

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Where do you see that? I took another look at the page and don't see where it says the price is 1 big ol' lease payment? Thanks, -John

    Thanks for the reminder! My 7,000lb GVWR enclosed V-nose trailer is never loaded past 5,000lbs total weight (it's ~2,300lbs empty), so I don't have or use a WDH. Yeah, you can put some stuff in the trailer, so long as you don't exceed ITS GVWR :D I always like a 20-25% margin between...
