    Does this sound like a good deal?

    Seems high. I bought my '23 Bighorn new about a year ago for $49. I know the above is a Laramie Longhorn, but seems like a high price for that many miles. For comparison, I'd plug the details into KBB and Carvana. You're going to pay more at a dealer, but at least that will give you a baseline...

    Tire Dressing frustration

    I use Chemical Guys cleaner on the Ram: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZXFGTM2?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title It's essentially just a cleaner and doesn't make it shine. It does claim to get rid of the brown, so might be worth considering. I don't use anything on my Jeep tires. It's a trail...

    At a loss after hard off road hit...

    When reading this, I also thought of the sway bars. Maybe check if they are broken. Not my Ram, but I did break my rear sway bar on my Jeep while off road and had some similar issues until I replaced the sway bar. Also check your control arms. Those are known to fail pretty easily (mostly with...

    Just got a 25 Tungsten

    It just depends on which tires you go with, they are all different. Keep in mind, that most 18" wheels won't clear the brakes. So 20" wheels are a safer bet unless you can confirm that the 18" you want will work. You could also get 18" take offs from a Rebel and either keep the tires, or just...

    Possibly Ordering a Laramie Soon

    Changing out the wheels and tires is much less work than the emblems. Mine is a '23 Big Horn Sport and came with 20" chrome wheels. I ended up buying new wheels and tires. If you want the OEM black wheels, maybe find someone selling take offs. Then sell yours.

    What else in your garage?

    Looks like they only sell an electric Charger two door now and the Challenger is gone. What a shame. I guess that's how the market is going now.

    What else in your garage?

    Yup, pics or it didn't happen! Especially the Trans Am. Also a Terminator fan btw! Some of the few 80's movies I've been able to get my kids to watch (and like).

    Mileage

    The best source for 'real' MPG is probably Fuelly: www.fuelly.com People keep track of their mileage and upload it to their server. Unlike social media where people are somehow getting 10+MPG more than they should be haha.

    Lemon? My bad luck?

    When they say "most likely won't be able to duplicate those issues", likely correct. They don't work very hard to get the issues to come up. Probably turn it on a few times and see if it will shift. Then mark 'unable to reproduce'. Bolts rotted off - Check for other rust issues. Could be an...

    Bed size and other questions

    Bed liner - Just depends on how much you use the truck bed. My last truck I had a tri-fold bed cover so used a bed mat for a while and that was fine. I bought a bed mat for my current truck, but not getting a bed cover. So figure it could blow away if there's nothing holding it down and no bed...

    Mileage

    I'm about 50% city/highway and get around 14mpg. They don't get the best gas mileage, but I figured that when buying one of the last V8 trucks.

    Order with Custom Paint

    I saw an orange Ram truck the other day. I wish that color was available when I got mine. I really like the 2024 BTS Blue. Though ended up getting a better deal on 2023 that was still on the lot.

    Stern dealer warning on mileage

    That guy sounds like a real downer. Though I believe most on here don't recommend doing the oil changes at 10K. Many recommend doing them closer to 5K (opinions welcome). I did my first oil change about a month ago at 6500. Wife gave me a bit of a hard time saying that if the truck says 10K, do...

    Hard water spots - Clear coat or Ceramic coating?

    Good to know! Mine eventually faded away. Though I'm sure it could happen again if I'm parked near the sprinklers at work and there's wind. Did you need the buffer to use the Sud Factory?

    Best years for 5th gen? Looking to purchase

    I'm happy with my 2023 Big Horn with Etorque. Though I wanted a new one with no miles at the time because I got burned buying a used F150 a few years ago (needed a new engine after 5K miles). If you don't want the ETorque, definitely save some money on a used truck. They do extend the warranty...

    Let's see those running boards/side steps

    Ok, good to know. I'll have to test that out. Probably get the power steps then if that's the case. I feel bad watching my son struggle to climb in lol.

    Let's see those running boards/side steps

    Bumping this because I'm trying to decide which ones I want. I was thinking of getting the power steps, but might get non-power for door ding protection. These RC steps caught my eye.

    12V Ride On Ram - Anyone got kids?

    Sub box for 2025 Laramie

    I'd try Fox Acoustics or Net Audio. If they only list for 2024, maybe get the measurements and see if you think it would fit. Otherwise, probably going to have to get a custom box built. Or wait for one to come out.
