i've never heard of XL rated, i'd ask the tire dealer to explain that. tires are very complicated, however, the P and LT ratings are fairly straightforward, then there's preference for tread and weather ratings, etc. and then size availability, and then stock availability will come into play as...

i'm with you a canopy is a must for me and eminently practical. however, there are times an open bed would be more desirable. i need it for car topping canoes and kayaks and for lockable dry storage for all kinds of gear. when the new Ram comes, i'll also be able to sleep back there (6 4 box)...

how long from build sheet to window sticker for you mate?

beg pardon, but what does it mean again when a build sheet is issued? from mine i took this snapshot: i live in BC, i wonder where the Alberta reference comes from. maybe that's how it's organized for shipping or something. either way i'm pretty stoked that something is happening. i hope it...

basically that guy's truck is a POS. it's shocking reading that. yes, as i await my truck i have started to wonder if buying now is a bad idea overall. the supply/demand relationship with this pandemic has perverted the whole process. i can only hope, like the rest of you that mine is a great...

placed my factory order 6 months ago with 3.21. fubar'd order, swtiched to 22, had to change colour, yada yada, you know the drill. when they replaced my order and i asked for the build sheet, all looks good, except now 3.92. so i sez WTF. manager sez my mistake, i order all stock trucks that...

first good news since i placed my order, on March 31st. from the dealer today: Hi James, as of sept 27 it moved to "J" status which is "paint" and has an updated ship date of Sept-30-2021 Check in with me or Erica next week and hopefully we can confirm it is enroute.

"it's not rocket science, it's much more complicated" i had no idea, but this article sheds light on just what is involved in making a microprocessor and the economics of it all. we live in a time of staggering complexity that our problems are not easily solved, at least not quickly, not even...

i'm not going to trash overlanding as a concept here, but honestly, your observation seems wise and obvious. the idea of spending the high dollars on RTT compared to a really nice large car camping tent, seems nuts when you consider the limitations. i bet it's awesome to wake up somewhere in the...

it would be interesting to talk to an operational manager/executive about production and allocation strategies. i'm sure it's wildly complex and probably has a political element as well. dealerships, order size, parts availability, etc, etc. i bet there's a team of people juggling all these...

hate to say it but that's my big concern as well. i get the sense that they are overworked already. i know little of auto production and i like to think that there are so many QC checks and balances and that the automation makes it almost impossible for a production worker to do it wrong, but...

after some teeth pulling, my sales lady learned how to use a scanner (rather than a photo from her phone) and sent a legible build sheet. posting just for kicks i guess. date ordered is incorrect as i ordered on March 31. the new date must be when they called to inform me that olive green was no...

on a slightly different note. any Cdns out there go on the build and price and notice that a) the ORG is not there and b) the Backcountry package isn't either. don't know if it matters, but it's weird and makes me wonder why and if it's being pulled or something. the reason i ordered my Ram...

i think so. more often we call them caps though. ordered at a store called Cap-it.

BH yes. however, the olive green originally ordered was cancelled about a month ago. i was told it was no longer offered. the order is for patriot blue now and it's a 22. funny thing is i had already ordered a canopy and it's been sitting there now for months awaiting the truck.

well here's my VIN, sent by the salesman upon request. is there any magic to it? do the bright minds in here know how to read the entrails and give me an idea when this truck should come, haha.... 1C6SRFMT6NN151108

i'll be curious as to your longer term perceptions of these tires as they are on my short list but in the LT275/70/18 size, along with the Yokohama Geolander G015 and the Sumitomo Encounter AT. the Sumitomo is the older parent of Falken tires and though they are not that common, the local pro...

from driving on dirt roads? the usual places, like the leading edge of the rear rocker panels? i'm still waiting for my truck (5 months and counting, sigh...) and i've got some weathertech mudflaps to go on. i'm wondering if there are any places on these trucks that get excessive wear and...

my 2 cents is to invest in a proper device like the Viair 300P mentioned. keep it in your truck at all times. off road driving benefits from lower tire pressure, and every day driving benefits from proper inflation. the 300P has long enough hose to get to your back tires no problem and you...

wow, that is sharp!
