I've always said all locks do are keep honest people honest. I do see where the Advanced wheel locks may slow them down enough where they would move onto an easier target. They probably had those rims off that truck and gone in 60 seconds! I doubt they would have messed around trying to get...

So many great point of views in here. I am 58 years old this year and have had my fill of going into a dealership. I trade every 2-3 years and the last 4 vehicles I purchased were bought online and all correspondence was done via email with a few phone calls. My last trade in February the...

I just towed a motorcycle on a UHaul motorcycle trailer. The trailer steering worked on the trailer empty and loaded but in all honesty, I could back it up quicker, easier, and more accurately manually. Maybe a learning curve on it and when I hook up the camper this spring maybe my experience...

Well, all I know is I had an old Honda back in the day that had that Parking brake lever between the seats. You pulled it up to lock and then pressed a button on the end to disengage. Had a smart a** buddy who liked to yank that thing up at speed and let me tell you it stopped the car. In a...

I hear people say this all the time and I have had two vehicles that remap the throttle and it's not the same in your head as pressing down harder on the accelerator. Something in the mind really perceives it as snappier and sportier. I had a Chevy Volt electric hybrid for a while and it had a...

The weight wasn't the issue with the camper. It got it up to speed and you hardly knew it was back there up until about 40 MPM. Then that huge camper front acted like a big sail and the wind resistance was brutal. With a head wind, it really was wound out. Usually, the boats don't have as much...

I towed this from NY to Monterey and back last summer. Just under 5k unloaded. Hemi, 3.21, no Air suspension. Felt slightly under trucked the entire trip. The biggest issue though was the 26-gallon tank. Miserable beyond belief. Stopped 3-4 times a day for gas. You had 250 miles range when full...

It was a long time ago! It was a mid 80's I think but I can't remember the exact year. That 95 of yours is one well taken care of vehicle! Your granddaughter is a lucky girl!

Being in upstate NY I would not want a 2wd truck. 4WD is used a fair amount. I grew up with rear-wheel drive cars and would always love to go out in the snow with them and slide around the corners, do donuts in the parking lot, and just screw around. Young and dumb! Having said that I often do...

No issues but I noticed the active breaking when backing up works much better on my 2021 than the 2019. On the 2019 I had to turn it off as I couldn't;t even get up my driveway which is an 8% grade. It would keep braking. My 2021 has no issues backing up the drive but stopped me when I wasn't...

California doesn't count. I don't think it's part of the US, is it:ROFLMAO:? The only state more expensive than NY!

I've always loved Sunroofs. I am looking forward to using mine in a couple of months when spring arrives! The dual-pane really brightens the cab. I think you will find a good divide on them here. Those that love em love em and those that don't, don't! I have found people who had a sunroof that...

My issue was towing with the 26-gallon tank. I had 250 miles of range or so at 9-10 MPG. I think the mileage while towing will be the same no matter what gears you are running. It was brutal on my cross-country trip having to start looking for a gas station just 150 miles after fill up. On HWY...

Ahhh those conveyor car washes can be brutal! I never use them anymore. Probably 30 years ago I had a 1976 Pontiac Bonneville 2 Door. Freshly painted and was quite a head turner! One of my favorite vehicles ever. Well, the curing time had passed on the paint and I took it through one of those...

Makes sense. I take it you will lose one lower gear on the 3.21? Is that where the increased tow capacity comes in? It is a significant difference between the two. I am taking it the increased tow capacity might be all smoke and mirrors and the 3.92 can just get more weight going than the...

I put mine out when in the touchless wash. No issues yet. Also I leave the mirrors out. I don't ever use the brush washes so I can't comment on those ones. I find they still don't get everything off of them. Unfortunately, nothing beats a hand wash at home but not possible here in upstate NY...

I'll just chime in a bit. The reason I traded my 2019 Ram for the 2021 was mainly to get the 33-gallon tank. On a cross-country trip towing a camper, the range was only 250 miles. Once you hit 150 miles left you had to start looking for a gas station. ON the month-long trip I spent the most time...

Online is the only way to go. As others have stated get a firm quote from them and most dealers now email a nice quote spelling everything out. Bought my last 4 vehicles doing all the negotiating over email and some phone calls. Just let them know that if you get there and anything has changed...

I just traded my 2019 Laramie 5.7 Hemi with 3.21 gears for a 2021 Limited Etourque Hemi with 3.92 gears. Prior to the 2019 Laramie, I had a 2016 Ram Big Horn Hemi with 3.21 gears. I put 81K on the 2016 Big Horn and I put 28K on the 2019 Laramie so I have over 100K miles driving with the 3.21 in...

I towed a 4800 lb trailer with my 2019 Laramie 5.7, no eTourqe also, 8100 miles this summer. I did about 7800 of those miles in August on a trip from NY to Monterey CA and back. I definitely would have not wanted to be towing anything heavier. I felt under trucked the entire trip. The biggest...
