    MPG computer lies - badly!

    We took a 230 mile ‘long way’ home from the dealer last weekend after picking up the new truck and averaged 19.5 mpg. I was keeping it at 50-55 with a few surges higher but trying to be a good boy during the break in period. We have the 26 gal tank and fuel gauge showed just under 5/8ths, so the...

    Back seat Shelf

    We just ordered the DogShell for trucks (Amazon). Comes with 60/40 split. We plan to use the 40% board, fold the 60% section under, pop up the 60% seat and put “his lordship’s” bed on the floor. Then he can choose between views and naps and we won’t be blocking the HVAC vents. I do plan to alter...

    Cracked Windshield From Golf Ball

    When it’s new, it hurts. We’ve lost two windshields in two years here in northern NM. They use sand on the roads in winter and it’s got a fair amount of rock in it...then we all come from dirt/gravel roads before getting on the highway and all that crud is still in our tire treads. There’s not a...

    Choosing Best Tonneau Cover

    I agree. Thanks to the forum for all the referrals to Lucas...i decided to go with the F1 on my new (finally delivered!) limited. Lucas came in almost $200 below list.

    Ram 1500 orders - Tell Us About Yours!

    I ordered a Limited max steel metallic w/ indigo/frost on May 14. It went to build quickly. Then it sat in a rail yard in IN for 2-3 weeks before loading on a rail car for PHX...where it sat in a rail yard for another 2 weeks before loading onto a rail car for ABQ...where it’s now been sitting...

    Gas question

    Hola ya’ll. Brand doesn’t guarantee quality. I religiously try to burn Shell or Exxon in my Acura (93 octane if I can get it, 91 otherwise). Conoco, 66, etc just don’t burn as well for me. We were towing on a trip in April and hit an Exxon in Socorro, NM and it was hands-down the WORST gas I’ve...

    Best place to purchase Mopar official Mopar warranty- dont buy from local dealer!

    I closed on my limited last week and when the finance guy asked about warranty, I put the price sheet for both online options in front of him and said ‘your best offer?’ He pitched $200 over their cost (which was about $150 over the Zeigler price) and I agreed. They’d given me the 15% off MSRP...

    Choosing Best Tonneau Cover

    I think I’m seeing tonneau covers in my sleep at this point... Been researching for days and (for better or worse) I’m looking at tri-folds. We live at 7800 ft in northern NM. A lot of roads here are gravel/dirt and there’s an omnipresent layer of dirt/grit on everything (detail your vehicle...

    A Comprehensive Guide to Towing with the 2019 RAM 1500 - Everything You Need to Know!

    I have no doubt I’ll enjoy towing with the Ram more than the MDX...BUT, the MDX (my model/trim) has a door label payload of 1,350#. Depending on trim, the Ram can be just as low. Will confess that I’m also looking forward to losing the MDX fuel requirement of 91 min octane. Our TT has 3,900...

    A Comprehensive Guide to Towing with the 2019 RAM 1500 - Everything You Need to Know!

    Guess I’m further down the OCD chart. I’ve been towing an ultra-light keystone passport for 2 years with an Acura MDX (which is being traded in next week on my factory ordered 2019 Ltd Hemi/e-torque/3.92/BUG/e-locker/no pano) and the day we drove it home we began weighing and recording...
