    Try the same experiment in Tow/Haul mode ;)

    1500 truck bed liner

    I have an OEM spray-in liner with an inexpensive rubber mat to take abuse and prevent slippage. Sounds like you could get away with a mat only. A spray-in would provide a lot of additional protection, but obviously at a higher cost.

    LED Bulbs

    Dangerous glare to oncoming drivers resulting from the use of bulbs not specifically designed and tested for the contours of a given housing. Brighter isn’t better if light isn’t focused correctly, so small variations matter, especially when LEDs have very different light spread from halogen...

    LED Bulbs

    Yes, there are downsides (crazy glare, illegal - even if people do it all the time). There are aftermarket units and/or OEM LED lights that might be affordable if you can find them used. Search for existing threads on this topic.

    Other weights of Longhorn Limiteds?

    Sorry, but no. As we discussed in this and other threads, the real "payload losers" are deep into the 900s these days! Edit: Over in the "Please post your Tire and Loading sticker" thread, the lowest I found (quickly) were 1,012 (actual door sticker) and 949 (computed using real VIN for...

    question about RV length...

    Enough, fellas...please. I had to go back two pages just to get past your argument to the rest of the content. Please take it offline if you must.

    Other weights of Longhorn Limiteds?

    Also...with my Ram's as-configured payload of 1,069 lb, minus maybe 25 lbs for a few accessories and items I always carry around, minus another 400 lb for myself, my wife, and our two dogs, minus another 200 lb for typical cargo when the 4 of us are road-tripping, I'm left with 444 lb of...

    Other weights of Longhorn Limiteds?

    Not only did trucks have way less technology (and were way, way lighter) back then, but tow ratings were done differently. That being said, my last truck was an '03 GMC Sierra 1500HD SLT Quadrasteer. Awesome truck with the "old" 3/4-ton frame and powertrain but labeled as a 1/2-ton so that GM...

    Other weights of Longhorn Limiteds?

    Makes sense, given all of your aftermarket accessories, fuel, etc.

    Other weights of Longhorn Limiteds?

    Different color scheme, but same seats, even same leather supplier…

    Other weights of Longhorn Limiteds?

    I do remember that @Edwards had (what we thought was) an identically-equipped truck, only his was a Limited, and his sticker read 1141 (IIRC) to my 1069. We never did figure out the difference!

    Other weights of Longhorn Limiteds?

    Look at your door sticker, City Slicker. But I lost the “worst payload possible” badge a long time ago!

    Other weights of Longhorn Limiteds?

    There's an old thread on payload where everyone listed their weights. I think @devildodge may have started it. I held the record for the lowest payload (1,069 lb) with my 2019 Longhorn until the multi-function tailgate was introduced...in which case we started to see some not-quite-half-ton...

    Question About Tire Rotation

    Well...the rotations cost you some of your time and a bit of gas money, unless they're coming out and doing this in your driveway. But your point about low cost preventative maintenance is understood. Personally, I follow the oil life monitor / one year limit for oil changes, which typically...

    Ram / My Mopar app

    I can log in without issue, but I see none of that info. Maybe it’s a UConnect version limitation.

    Delmonico Red / Saddle Longhorn

    Yep - they changed the name a couple of model years back. IMHO, they should just call it a “Longhorn”.

    Is Air Suspension really that great?

    You may find that a stiffer sway bar (Hellwig) helps with lateral movement. Mine has towed fine, but I’ve not towed heavy.

    Laramie Vs Limited

    He asked about the Longhorn, which is effectively the Limited’s western-themed twin.
