    JUST RELEASED! UPDATE THE NAVIGATION

    Ironically, if you use the exact same maps on the HereWeGo app on your phone, updates seem to be free. So, if you are attached to the built-in maps, just download the app and use them over Android Auto / Apple CarPlay . Maps can be downloaded, so no data connection necessary. Android...

    New guy rocking a Delmonico red 1500

    Welcome! Nice color! I bought a black one off the lot, and will never own that color again...

    Weather Tech or Husky floor mat ?

    I used to be a Weathertech fanboy, but the Mopar mats are in a different league: thicker and softer, they follow the floor's contours much better than Weathertech's mats. Look better as well, and clean up better too for some reason. They make the Weathertechs look cheap.

    High Mileage rams holding up

    184,000 and counting on my wife's 2014, and I have 65,000 on my 2020. I would definitely recommend getting the extended warranty. I have the 7yr/unlimted on my 2020. Rams will not be as reliable as a Lexus, but they work for me. The 2020 is our third Ram, and our 4th Hemi. we've only had...

    Will TRX wheels fir a Limited with Air Suspension

    Are the TRX wheels roughly the same dimensions as regular Ram 1500 wheels? Thinking about buying a set of TRX takeoffs. Thanks.

    What to Expect with 22” Wheels?

    For me the downside of the 22" wheels: - the look - the tire doesn't fill out the wheel well enough IMO - limited tire selection - relatively high tire price - faster wear than smaller diameter tires of same make and type (Michelin Defender) We own a Limited with 22" and a Big Horn with 20"...

    An honest talk about Overlanding

    I don't have a rooftop tent (yet), but did buy my bed cover with rails so I can add rack and tent later. I've been scouring Youtube for advice and opinions and came across this video a while ago. I can see his point:

    Better MPG with higher octane?

    I have noticed the same thing. Can't really explain it (my other brand is Shell) other than maybe there's less ethanol in Racetrac's gasoline?

    Power Side Step repair

    My steps work like that. 95% of the time they retract normally. Sometimes they don't. I think it happens if I get in, start the truck and the booting of the electronics coincides with the timeout of the steps. In that case, they stay out for much longer.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    sure did. Got it ceramic coated and do all of the wash and detail myself now., no more car wash scratches on this baby. Got myself a good pressure washer, a set of nozzles, cleaning towels and a foam attachment for the pressure washer wand. Works great. It's a pretty good workout too :-)

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    It had been 4 months since she last had a bath 😐 Worked my a$$ off for 3hrs, but it was worth it!

    Should RAM ditch the knob shifter ?

    we owned a 2014 with the old school column shifter and a 2014 with the dial at the same, and I have to say that I found the coilumn shifter a much more satisfying experience. Also, the old 6-speed had a very satisfying soft whine that the 8-speed (which I love for its smoothness) just doesn't...

    Rear Turn Grind

    I can't speak to your truck, but I had that problem in our Challenger a few years ago and it turned out to be the diff fluid. They used the wrong type. It's pretty unlikely your dealership would have put in the wrong fluid, but just putting this out there in case.

    Power Side Step repair

    Thanks for the info. My steps sometimes don't retract until well after I have driven out of my garage. I try to remember to listen for the retraction before I drive out, but sometimes forget. Murphy's law will probably someday strike :-P and leave me where you were after the car wash.

    Advice For New Tires For Ram 1500 Longhorn Limited

    I am on my third set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S on my 2020 Limited. Nice tires, but they wear fast and aren't as confident in the rain once they wear. Also run them on our 2014 Big Horn and for some reason (tire size?) they do much better on that truck.

    Which Powertrain Do You Prefer?

    I like the etorque and would get it again, even it was only for the smooth start/stop. What I probably would not get again is the 3.92 rear end. It makes truck feel quick, but sucks more fuel.

    Rust protection for your Ram

    I feel pretty lucky living in the south :-) Our 2014 (with 189000 miles) only has some light surface rust on frame (which was probably there from factory). Do you re-apply protection for every winter? How much does this treatment cost?
