Agreed but it shouldn't be consistently happening.

Interesting that it is freezing and sticking. I wonder what it is about the design that is causing that. I live in Minnesota which obviously gets lots of snow and occasional ice. I've got a dealer-added Access roll-up tonneau that has never frozen on me. Maybe that's because mine isn't flush...

I've loaded my ATV and snowmobiles into the truckbed using ramps. It is plenty strong. If you have any concerns, you can upgrade the tailgate cables. I haven't.

I had a crack spread this winter so got a non-cost insurance replacement. I have no issues with it yet.

Congrats on your purchase. Welcome to the forums

Another Ford convert here. I had a Mustang and four trucks. I only tow fishing boats and 2-place snowmobile trailers, so my expectations never needed to be backed down. It does everything that I need and is much better than the Fords in just about every way. You bought a big comfortable recliner...

Thanks. I bought four of them the other week.

Strange Brew :cool:

When I buy anything used, I have a reverse sliding scale for how much extra to set aside for immediate repairs. If I buy something for $40k, I don't expect much. If I buy something for $5k, I set aside an extra $1-2k knowing that there will be some big skeletons in the closet. I once bought a...

These things happen. I've had Ford buy back a lemon truck, Acura had to fix problems with an Integra that I owned, and I had problems right out of the box with my first Ram. They have wide tolerances for defects on vehicles unfortunately. We all pay a lot of money for these trucks so we expect...

I always turn the sensors off when towing, at least, once they beep at me and I remember to do so.

I put on foot onto the step bar, and then my other foot onto the top of the tire to reach into my truck bed. Then I pound my chest like Tarzan and climb back down.

Gotcha. As others have said, it would helpful to know year and trim level of your truck. Also describe your radio headunit. Is it a 12" screen, an 8.4" screen, or a 5" screen. If you can't pinpoint it using the AlphaOBD, you'll need to test the wiring. IMO it's either one of three things: 1) a...

Is this truck still under warranty? It sounds like we are past the easy stuff, like someone forgot to plug them in or that they are blown. Assuming under warranty, take it to the dealer. That is what warranties are for.

Pull the door panels and see if they are plugged in.

I've been a long-time subscriber to Consumer Reports. I value their opinions but won't treat it as gospel. I've noticed over the years that every issue has some kind of car ranking. You always have to be sure what they are measuring. One month it's reliability. The next it's owner satisfaction...

I got many of those ideas from others here. I just put together the 'greatest hits' album. I must not have purchased through Amazon, but one of the best minor appearance upgrades that I did was adding the front tow hooks. It's ridiculous that Ram stopped making them standard. Within weeks of...

That is why I've never ordered a truck. I find one on a lot that checks most of the boxes and am always happy. I get anxious just waiting for the next thing to arrive from Amazon. I can't wait 3-6 months for a truck to show up.
