    Sport Hood Delete

    The sport hoods are really nice. I’ve even considered getting for for my limited.

    2021 Laramie Level 1 vs Level 2

    Looking at the Canadian Ram website it’s a 1500$ upgrade from level 1 to level 2 and you get... - Harman/kardon 19 speaker system - Rear 60/40 split seat and reclining seat - second row heated seats - adds Nav to the 8.4 inch screen - bunch of Sirius/guardian stuff - Apple/android CarPlay...

    Looking to maybe buy 1500

    Check the payload on the truck you’re interested in. You will run out of payload long before you run out of towing power. Depending on the options, you’re 1500 could have upwards of 2000lbs (barebones truck) of payload vs as little as 1000lbs (fully loaded).

    Tailgate theft an issue with current gen?

    I live in Canada but I have never heard of tailgate theft being a big issue. Not to say it couldn’t happen but it’s not likely at all where I live.

    Frigid cold- Ram 1500 impresses me!

    You usually won’t start seeing problems till it stays below -40ish for a few days. I would definitely expect any newer vehicle to start without issues at the temperatures the OP is mentioning.

    Compare Ram to Ford

    Brand loyalty is a big part of Fords success. Dodge’s reputation due to previous generations reliability issues also plays a part even if they’re no longer true with the current Ram lineups.

    Why does no one else want the truck I do?

    I don’t understand why you wouldn’t just order it if you want a very specific build that is proving itself to be rare.

    New member - picking a trim to buy.

    Sounds like a Rebel is what you want. A Laramie with the ORG might work too.

    ECO Diesel vs Hemi as daily driver

    Hemi because I do mostly city driving going to and from work or errands. If I did mostly highway driving I’d consider the eco.

    8.4 vs 12 inch screen

    I know people keep mentioned the glitches with the 12 inch screen but that hasn’t been my experience... I had a ‘13 Sport with a 8.4 inch screen and I swear that screen was possessed. Glitched like crazy. I’d take it to the dealership, they’d do “updates” and it would work for a month or 2 and...

    Multi-Function Tailgate: worth it?

    My truck came with a MFT and was otherwise optioned how I wanted sitting on the lot (so I didn’t look for it or care if I had it). I would not buy another Ram without it. It makes getting things out of the bed of the truck so much easier. It makes getting into the bed of the truck so much...

    Looking to purchase a Ram, concern about future value

    The value of ICE vehicles will not drop in 5-7 years because of EV. Maybe in 15-20 years. And if you hold onto them long enough, they’ll go back up in value because of their rarity. I bought my truck almost a year ago now but I have zero concerns about EV sinking the value of it anytime soon.

    2020 Rebel Top Annoyances

    Some of these are fair criticisms, some aren’t. I think the wireless charging is fine where it is, you’re not suppose to be using your phone while driving. I have never had an issue hitting the “x” to close a screen while driving, but some customization to make things bigger or smaller to...

    Pricing on 2019 Laramie / Big Horns?

    Might want to wait a bit and look for a used ‘20 if E-Torque is required. It has become increasingly more common the more 5th gens that are built. A lot of ‘19s did not come with it.

    Plow suggestions for 2021 1500?

    I wouldn’t plow with a brand new 1500. Either an old beater, or a 2500/3500.

    Gas tank size

    Mikeru already covered it but the Limiteds come standard with the 26 gal. Lower trims come standard with 23 gal. I have a 26 gal on my Limited, kinda wish I had the 33 but I can live with the 26.

    5-6k Worth it? New vs Used

    Considering in your OP you mentioned the used trucks you were looking at were around 38k, I’d say it sounds like a pretty good deal. If it’s got everything you want and a clean carfax I’d say go ahead and pull the trigger.

    Adaptive Cruise Control.....Yay or Nay?

    It’s a really nice feature. I didn’t think I would use it on my limited much but I actually use quite a bit, both on the Hwy and in city. The only complaint I have with it is it can slow down so smoothly you don’t even notice so if you’re not paying attention you can get stuck behind slow moving...

    5-6k Worth it? New vs Used

    If you already have a sun roof on your other vehicle and love it, don’t let others talk you out of getting it. It’s your money and your truck. I have the sun roof and I love it as well. I probably only open it a few times a month, but I really enjoy having it those times I do open it, so to me...

    Future Ram 1500

    I’m thinking the next big update for the 1500s engine will be an electric version. When? I have no idea but I don’t doubt they’re working on the idea.
