    What is Known about the Bed Utility Group Options

    Yeah - didn't realize they came in multiple sizes - I've only ever seen the 'one' - I'm guessing it was the standard for 1 5/8 unistrut as the backplate was definitely 13/16" (I measured by eye a simple ruler - calipers may have put it closer to 22/32") and that would make sense in a 7/8"...

    What is Known about the Bed Utility Group Options

    1/4 inch thread size. The back plate of the cone nut is ~13/16 x 1 3/8 x 5/16". I had these because I'd used them on the Titan - they fit perfectly there. I still like the rails - I've already has a need for them so i might still pull the trigger. But their usefulness is compromised (in my...

    What is Known about the Bed Utility Group Options

    Ix-nay on the cone nut idea. Perhaps if you take the end caps off (looked like more than a simple job). The channel width is too narrow for the base of of the cone nut.

    What is Known about the Bed Utility Group Options

    I just put a cone but in my center console. I need to visit the dealer soon, and I’ll walk the lot to find a truck with the BUG and check it out myself..

    4WD on Soft Sand w/Nitrofill

    Totally depends on how fine/sugary the sand is. With my old truck there were time I wouldn't air down just to save time getting off the beach later. But you could tell (custom dual exhaust) that I hadn't aired down - the truck works harder! And I found 20 lbs was plenty aired down. If you're...

    19 Big Horn, Non Slip Diff, KO2's and the Beach

    Yes to the ez-Deflators! They require setup, and since they are a simple mechanical device with a simple spring, set up means airing down your tire (in the driveway) until the deflator stops, checking the new tire pressure and adjusting the deflator to get the desired result. Air back up the...

    19 Big Horn, Non Slip Diff, KO2's and the Beach

    Wash the underside good!!!! Never been on a jersey beach, but spent much of the last 20 years on DE beaches. I've used 4 lo once (4-banger Tacoma, loaded HEAVY in very fine/sugary sand). I've found it best to use 4 high and save low for a real emergency. DE law requires full size spare...

    Tonneau Cover advice

    I had a hard fiberglass (low profile) on my titan and loved it. Mostly watertight, pretty secure and still removable by one person (with some effort & skill!). Obviously I think we want/need a tonneau for the dry/security, but if you need the full bed for mulch/stone/motorcycles - whatever -...

    Hidden Dash Cam Install in Mirror Trim

    I hear you! Both of those are on my short-list, and I need 2 because I'm definitely putting on on the bike first!

    Hidden Dash Cam Install in Mirror Trim

    What system are you looking at? I've had the same thought - I'm all for having a dash cam, but I want it HIDDEN and while looking at the options for my bike, it occurred to me that they would work with the truck too and be easier to hide!

    What is Known about the Bed Utility Group Options

    On my Titan, unistrut cone nuts fit perfectly in the rails making it simple to adapt ANYTHING! I'm curious if they fit in the mopar rails.

    Key Fobs

    Just be glad it wasn't a convertible. My beater car is an '05 330ci 'vert - and I like the all down feature (including roof) on the fob. My last truck was a titan and there too I like the window down feature - I tried it with the RAM and was disappointed that it's not there.

    What to sacrifice when looking for a new truck

    It's just the headlights on the Bighorn too.. All of this makes me even less regretful for not getting the led package and convinces me that RAM failed on all trim levels in this regard. I'm sure the aftermarket will catch up soon, and expect the mid-cycle refresh of the 5th gen will have...

    What to sacrifice when looking for a new truck

    You have the limited/adaptive- I suspect they are better than the non-adaptive leds available on the Bighorn/Laramie. I’ve just seen (and read complaints) that the ‘accent’ bars don’t function as drl’s like they do on the ford/chevy/gmc trucks..

    12.2 MPG after first 1,000 miles

    50/50 urban/highway. And highway means 75-80. I haven’t babied it, but I haven’t abused it yet either (still breaking it in!). Last calculated by hand was 14.3, it claimed 14.7. 89 octane, winter formula 10% ethanol crap

    What to sacrifice when looking for a new truck

    I’ve always thought you can get the best deal if you buy what they have (or can get from another dealer). If you order you’re at the mercy of the incentives and whatever the dealer discounts are. I ‘built’ the truck I wanted, and even with affinity pricing (1% under invoice), the truck was...
