Saw a 2019 GMC at our local dealership today. Struck me how "upright" the nose felt. That and the angular wheel wells give it a "chunky" feel that is a little in your face. Makes the Ram look very sleek by comparison

My computer does not allow me to access anything on HDrams. Any way you could provide different links?

I said the exact same thing a few years back. Ramboxed dually would be an ideal way to utilize what is otherwise wasted space. I'm sure it wouldn't be cheap to figure out though, and may be tough to make look right. Ram has be best looking duallies by far.

You guys that have had the TSBs done and have downshift issues....ask if they "reset the adaptives" for the transmission after doing the TSBs. My durango learned a bad 5-4th downshift. Resetting the adaptives fixed it. I wonder if the poor downshift performance was something the trans learned...

If it was my truck, and i was as concerned about MPG as you, here's what i would do. 1) Start a Fuelly account. Hand calculate every tank. Compare vs truck computer 2) Verify trip meter is correct per the miles actually traveled (check vs googe maps or interstate mile markers, etc) Whats the...

Any of those numbers confirmed with hand calculations? My 4th gen is optimistic. I wonder if your 5th gen is pessimistic, or you computer is programmed to think you have a 32" standard tire, while you actually have the 33s. It would be bizarre to have dramatically less hand calculated MPG than...

WOW. I picked up my 4th gen divider/extender used for $100 i think, and saw others at the time for $150. Hard to tell what all you need for the extender pegs/lock, but looks like only $16

The angle view consideration is plausible, however i cant see many vehicles front turn signal from an angle either (say, at a 4-way stop, if they are on my left and turning left) Also, the extender comes out from the truck at an angle. Aftermarket typically come out straight then curve, so i...

If it's not illegal to drive with your tailgate down then it shouldn't be illegal to have a bed extending gate that sets on the tailgate. What's the difference? It does not go out bast the tailgate...stupid regulation.

WHAT? Well that's a stupid new regulation then. I love my bed extender/divider. Maybe the 4th gen lugs or extender will work on the 5th gen.

And the winner is.... http://www.fourwheeler.com/features/1901-ram-1500-rebel-is-four-wheelers-2019-pickup-truck-of-the-year/ This is a huge win IMO vs the trailboss and AT4. FourWheeler.com performs IMO the most comprehensive offroad comparison testing. Ram has a pretty good history of success.

Another new ad: Chevrolet Silverado Is ‘A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock ‘n’ Roll’: Ad Break This one is seems definitely more like a Ram ad. Maybe they've realized how terrible the "real people, not actors" ads are. They are really bringing on the advertisements: 2019 Chevrolet...

I think they will spend a lot of $ on advertising campaigns to try and keep the #2 spot. They should probably put it towards updating the interior instead. GMC Tailgate: http://gmauthority.com/blog/2019/01/gmc-launches-awesome-new-ad-campaign-for-2019-sierra/ ....because showing any other part...

That's been my argument for why keeping the 5.7 unchanged was such a wise move. A few tenths slower than competition's optional engines is no big deal. Money saved there went into the interior, which far more people care about. The 5.7 hemi still bests the 5.3 and most of the other differences...

Good catch on the correction - I'll update my post. So that is 70.3% for 2018 and about 65% for 2017 (using the 15% Ram 1500 increase and 500,723 2017 sales. Based off past recalls my guess had been ram close to 60/40 for 1500 vs HD historically.

Check out this comparison: https://www.guideautoweb.com/en/articles/48705/full-size-pickup-comparison-test-battle-royale/ hemi with 3.21 was .2 slower 0-100 kmh but .5 faster than 3.5 ecoboost from 80-120 kmh 0-60 the heavier rams will typically loose but once the trucks are already moving...

Here's what i think the numbers look like: Ram 1500 (we know for sure) 377,286 out of 536,980 Ram p/u = 70.3% Ford F150 (using seatbelt recall affecting 2015-Sept 2018) 1.6 million out of 3 million F-series calender year 2015-Sept 2018 = 53% so I'm guessing 55% (corresponds with a recent...

Glad that you love the truck. I would be upset if I was getting much under 15 MPG hand calculated with a 5th gen etorque. FCA's claim was 10% MPG improvement overall, with more advantage in a city driving cycle. Practically no improvement will be seen in real world highway driving at over 55...

Unless you were hand calculating your mileage and adjusting for tire size change you likely were not getting 20 MPG. Could you have gotten 20 MPG in a specific scenario, sure, and cheers if you did! But lifetime average of 20 MPG with lift and 35" tires? I think not. 15-16 MPG is the lifetime...
