    Anderson WDH question

    It certainly has its purpose, no doubt about it. Hope it works out well for you!

    Anderson WDH question

    That looks novel but I wouldn't use it for a half-ton application, particularly one where it's absolutely necessary to know the tongue weight. The combination of the WDH system weighing 133+lbs on its own, plus the fact that the ball is so far away from a normal ball location, thus increasing...

    Not necessarily. In my experience, "Scheduling" status is broad and includes "parts are being scheduled/gathered/accounted for/etc" and not necessarily "about to enter assembly".

    Caveat being the Blind Spot and X-Path package. I ordered my Big Horn with that and is certainly not moving along like the other BH builds without them like @ClinchMountainRam and @Kovy23 's... I moved to D1 just after Week 6 and at Week 7's end, I'm sitting at D1 for a week thus far. Ordered...

    BEST Cap/Top out there...... RSI SmartCap ?

    Any thoughts from the folks who have one ... how hard would it be to vinyl wrap one? I'm very tempted to get the EvoC Commercial with the solid sides and rear security glass ... it seems like it would be a fairly straight forward wrap. The fact that it's modular with no extreme curves and the...

    It definitely doesn't hurt to clarify. One day, I had the same chipper message along the lines of "your vehicle is now about to enter assembly, scheduling status. " Then when I checked in with my dealer for the first time, it was still in "D". The next day I checked with RamChat again ... guess...

    That's quite fast. I have an order date a month earlier than you (2/23) and it took 6 weeks for all parts to be gathered. A few days later now, and the truck's been "sequenced for production."

    Nice timeline for sure. This is purely conjecture, but could be perhaps due to the lack of safety and/or blind spot packages that would presumable requires these semiconductors that are on shortage.

    Depends on how picky you are about color matching. My personal preference would be that 'contractor' version but color matched, to be honest.

    Need help! Which trim for road trips + towing a car? New or used?

    7k lbs and all the creature comforts and towing comfortably? For me, that'd be a 2500 Megacab primarily for extra payload headroom and less tail-wagging-the-dog hauling 7k lbs long distances.

    Welp - just 1 day shy of 6 weeks from order/VON and my build is finally "about to enter assembly, scheduling status." per RamChat. I've been checking 1-2x per week with the latest on Friday the 2nd, where it remained in the parts sourcing stage. Not terrible and somewhat middle of the road...

    BEST Cap/Top out there...... RSI SmartCap ?

    Has anyone here looked into their commercial EVO C cap and having it painted? I'd much prefer the security of the solid side panels and security mesh rear glass.

    Pricing & Planning a Winter / Summer Tire & Wheel Set for Fuel Efficiency

    I'm a bit in the same boat as you are and new to the truck world. I observe that a lot of truck owners, especially ones who post online go the AT tire route as it can be a decent all season option, and gives a more aggressive look to the truck. I'm not 100% convinced of this based on past...

    New to Paint Correction - Questions

    Agree. Common theme is to start from least aggressive. Personally, I've been using some form of Menzerna products so I stick with what I know. I've been happy with it.

    New to Paint Correction - Questions

    What color is your truck? Lighter colors are much more forgiving of course. Beyond some swirling, polishing can lead to weird hologramming or shadow effects that are more obvious on darker colors, and that will probably be beyond your tolerance. One way around this is to work piecemeal. There's...

    One main recommendation: Hold off on applying ceramic until you're comfortable in your paint prep skills and the results from it. If you apply the ceramic after your first go at paint prep and realize you made a mistake (or you're not satisfied), it is a PITA to forcefully remove the coating...

    BEST Cap/Top out there...... RSI SmartCap ?

    I ordered the normal tailgate. Was your 1up the hitch mount? or mounted up on the roofbars? The biggest consideration to go with a cap is so I could secure my bikes inside when we're out camping but not riding the bikes (overnight, on side excursions, etc).

    That is sweet! Better yet, I have a very similar exterior spec (Granite, Big Horn, Night Edition) on order to perfect to see how it looks from different angles. Thanks!

    This is one main reason I will not order any parts until I have the truck sitting in my driveway. I'd rather eat the $1,000 deposit loss and have optionality, than have $3k+ in parts/mods that are not returnable sway that optionality. On another note, I've been tracking this thread and one...
