Welcome aboard Jives!
If you are like 99% of the rest of us who order (including me), you are now in for weeks of looking for tiny scraps of info that tell you that your RAM is a little closer to your driveway. It takes forever for the truck to arrive, but all that is forgotten on the day you...
I don't disagree with statement above.
My RAM has probably the wimpiest payload available. I have the Pentastar 6 cylinder w/3.21 axle ratio. I have nearly every other option installed. Max payload is rated at 1081 lbs. Makes the 1/2 ton designation, but w/o much room to spare. For...
Welcome aboard! I am just about 1 year into my first RAM (Longhorn 10th Anniversary) and I love it! I hope you will love your new truck too.
Professional ceramic coating is sure to be great -- clearly the best alternative if you are OK with the cost. I went the Griot's 3-in1 route, first...
I tried two different approaches to see if I could help.
I downloaded the AlphaOBD demo app and went thru the options. I did not see any way to disable the Bluetooth. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist--just means that I couldn't find it. It's easy to download yourself and look thru the...
After seeing your message, I agree that the 3.55 would have been the best choice.
It would have given me more towing capability than the 3.21. And, I think it would allow the 8th gear to be used more often for my driving style. This would give me slightly better mileage. A little...
I have the 3.21 ratio and the 6 cylinder gas because I don't tow much and wanted the best mileage on long trips, which is my main use.
I love the truck, but regret the 3.21. I don't believe it gets me significantly better mileage. It does severely restrict my tow capability for the few times...
Another vote for Ziegler here. As previous posters said, remember to use the code PAYINFULL.
Ziegler's website is great. Easy to generate any option you want to compare prices. I waited until my truck was around 7 months old to purchase -- there wasn't any extra cost to do this. I didn't...
I find it handy to have locking floor storage. I purchased the MOPAR 82211653 -- around $120 for a set of 2 latches. It's very high quality and takes 5 mins to install.
Turns out the latch is actually from Southco. The Southco part number is M1-99-346 for a package of 2. The package label...
Hey dxdx,
Your situation really sucks. Here is a long shot you might consider. Call RAM Incentives at 1-800-277-0757 and see if they can help.
After I ordered my truck last year, the delivery kept getting delayed. It was delayed so late that the incentives decreased by over $1000. Dealer said...
I understand that Rivian wanted their truck to look mostly conventional. But it seems to me that they aren't taking full advantage of being electric. Seems like they could "Dump the Frunk" and move the cab forward. Then stretch the truck bed so it is full length.
It would look like an early...
My general impression aligns with your comment. The truck "felt" smaller. But still a useful size for around-the-town trips to the HW store.
Unfortunately I didn't bring my tape measure.... anyway my wife thinks its creepy whenever I measure other people's cars that are parked in the street...
I was out on my morning bicycle ride and saw my first Rivian on the street. I thought people might like to see how it looks in real life. It's a good looking truck to my eye, although I prefer my RAM's looks.
I apologize for the picture quality -- not so good composing shots without my...
Yes it did need to be within 72 hours. And it had to be a PCR test (not antigen). It was easy for me because my doctor's office has the test and doesn't charge for it. They returned the results in 1 day.
Earlier in the pandemic, I flew to Hawaii, which also needed a test. I went to a...
When I flew to Canada two months ago, I had to use the ArriveCan app to upload my vaccine and covid test status. I believe my friend who drove across the border had to do the same. Not sure whether things have changed.
I love my MFT for all the reasons that people above have already enumerated. In fact, I only open the tailgate using the fold down method when I'm using the bed extender.
I was fortunate enough to buy a truck with both the MFT and the RAM Box and love them both. That said, if I had to choose...
I love my RAM Boxes!
This is my first pickup after years of sedans and sports cars. I'm used to a trunk. I find that I use the RAM Box in two different ways:
Around the town: Use it for tools, cloth grocery bags, etc. It keeps things neat, tidy and accessible.
Trips: My truck bed is...
Can't help you with your current issue of best way to remove bugs.
But once you get them off, I found that Griot's 3-in-1 ceramic coating makes it super easy to get bugs off going forward. I just got back from a 2000 mile trip to Southern Cal, Arizona and Utah. Plenty of baked on bugs on...
Hey JBowman – great write-up! Your truck looks amazing!
Here is my experience with Griot’s products.
The ceramic 3-in-1 is everything JBowman says. But something that he didn’t mention is that it makes bugs super easy to clean off. I just got back from a 2000 mile trip through Southern Cal...
