    Potential First Time Ram Owner Debating on Trim Levels

    If you can get a 19 Limited, at a good price, I wouldn't hesitate. First of all, there was no major issues with 19's that I'm aware of. The problems that affected 19's, also affected 20's and 21's...(leaks at rear window, moaning brakes when reversing, radio glitches, etc). I have a 19 Limited...

    Windshield Frost/Snow Cover

    seriously? I grew up in Boston, and never heard of such a thing. We scraped our windshields with ice scrapers, and the defrost took 100 miles to warm up enough to do anything! :ROFLMAO:

    Factory putting out trucks with LED tail light and halogen headlights??

    I wouldn't call that mismatched....lots of cars & trucks on the road that have that combo. LED Headlamps are in many cases optional, (more money), and some folks are just fine with Halogen.

    Early Morning Security Cam Footage

    I think we are both in agreement actually. We all ( I think ), know about the ability of thieves to intercept fob signals, but the OP was saying he protected his fobs as best he could. I was just trying to differentiate between protecting,(as in not leaving a fob in the truck), vs. protecting...

    Early Morning Security Cam Footage

    bet he's not talking about the FOB being stolen, believe he's talking about protecting the radio signal by keeping the FOB in a "Faraday" box/bag.

    Checking Oil Hot??

    I remember in the Marine Corps, back in the 70's I was an automotive mech, (3521 MOS). Before a driver could check out a vehicle from the motorpool, they had to do a pre-check. One new private checked the oil on a M-151 Jeep, and thought you were supposed to fill it to the top of the FILL HOLE...

    Laramie Vs Limited

    there is NO WAY to beat the headlamps in a Limited...they are simply the best out there, the other LED reflectors are 75% of what the Limited's are. Like someone said, if you don't drive country, then you may not care...but out here in the front range of Colorado, they matter... they are...

    Laramie Vs Limited

    simple really...Limited is RAM's highest trim level...you get better headlights, and softer leather. Throw in the air-ride....and there is nothing that comes close. Go Limited, or go home. :p

    heated steering wheel..

    are you for real? excuse me...This forum is FULL of complaints...you new here? I CAN complain about a shortcoming by the factory, and I might add...it's the complaining that gets manufacturers to make changes! Back in the day, guys like you would say, " what are you complaining about there...

    heated steering wheel..

    c'mon...really? the point is there is NO factory adjustment without using an aftermarket product, that most people do not have.

    heated steering wheel..

    well, then it's not really "available" to all of us that don't have Alphabod...they should have settings the same way they have for the seats....

    5.7 knocking at cold start?

    any engine knock is NEVER normal. IF...it is a knock, as opposed to noisy valvetrain when cold-started.
