    What's your favorite low-cost Amazon upgrade?

    For me it's been a few things: Bullrings for stake pockets - Front: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HS4FJ4V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Bullrings for stake pockets - Rear...

    Sunshade/Sun Roof Won't Open

    I'll just throw out the obvious one. If it was snowing when you bought it and you are living in a cold state, have you tried getting the truck washed and then trying the sunroof immediately afterward? It's possible that everything is frozen, such as when your windows won't open for weeks on end...

    Damage discovered after driving off lot

    It doesn't matter where the damage happened in the supply chain, they sold you a vehicle with obvious damage. That's on them 100% whether they caught it or not. It is doubtful that you will get a local dealer to do that work because it's not a RAM problem, it's a dealer problem. They should set...

    Buying a manufacturer buyback ram…..

    Not lemon law like my other story, but when my 2015 Ram was diagnosed with cam & lifter failure I traded it in on my 2021 Ram. Multiple dealers that I was shopping at told me that they would not fix my 2015 but just sell it at dealer auction. The dealer who sold me my 2021, put it on the used...

    Buying a manufacturer buyback ram…..

    I could have been more specific. Vehicles typically aren't bought back under the Lemon Law for minor issues. However, you are right that every state is different. Dealer buy-backs are pretty common with the tight supply these days, so they will make deals for almost any reason. Manufacturers...

    Buying a manufacturer buyback ram…..

    These all hit my thoughts right on the head. A vehicle is never bought back for minor reasons. When I got Ford to buy back my truck, it took extreme documentation that there were multiple things wrong that a dealership was not able to correct in a reasonable number of opportunities. Were all of...

    Ticking..

    If it's still under warranty, take it in so that the problem is on record. It could be the Hemi tick. It could be a failing lifter. It could be just about anything.

    Suggestions? Thx!!!

    Agreed. Most accessories for new trucks have that disclaimer. I wouldn't be worried but I would still follow Cbty2050's advice and call the manufacturer.

    Weird Ticking Noise

    When I had similar in my 2015, folks on this forum had me thinking it was the hemi tick. Little did I know that the cam shaft and lifter were failing. I didn't get that figured out until the truck was out of warranty. If you aren't sure and you want to make sure that you can get warranty work...

    Goodyear Ultraterrain vs Falken Wildpeak A/T3W

    I'd say those are some good recommendations. Thanks

    Goodyear Ultraterrain vs Falken Wildpeak A/T3W

    Who doesn't love a good tire thread? I had Duratracs on my 2015 Bighorn. Right before I traded it in, I put Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's on it which I then moved over to my 2021. Now with about 35k mile on them, they only have 40% tread left which is fine for most of the year but not winter here...

    Need corporate help

    I was a long-time Ford guy. When I eventually bought my first Ford truck (a Ranger) it had all kinds of problems. I had similar issues as you where I got the run-around. After getting the Better Business Bureau involved, Ford offered to give me a new truck. I think that I ended up paying $700...

    Winter Traction

    I loved driving my '83 Mustang back in the day, with rear wheel drive and an emergency brake for sliding around left and right turns. It taught me a lot about driving in the snow. I live in Minnesota, go up north a lot, and tow snowmobiles on a trailer in the snow. I never intentionally put...

    Not impressed,pretty disappointed

    Each state is different, but a "lemon" in the legal sense usually means that you are the first owner. If you bought this truck from someone else, the lemon law typically does not apply. The truck may have been cared for, but it also may have been in an accident that was relatively well-concealed...

    New to truck world...new to towing.

    I tow my boat and snowmobiles without a WDH, but they don't weigh anywhere near your trailer weight. However, the key is to have everything level. So many people tow things where the tongue is angled down and then the front wheels of the tow vehicle are pulled up. That's a great way to get into...

    Not impressed,pretty disappointed

    There are bad apples in every bunch. It sounds like someone drove that truck for 26,000 miles and then decided that it had too many little problems, and then sold it to you. I wouldn't feel bad, as most of these things would be nearly impossible to catch in a 3rd party vehicle transaction...

    Clicking and ticking

    When my 2015 developed the "Hemi tick," I got reassurance from the forums that it was nothing to worry about. Then right as the truck went out of warranty, it was diagnosed with cam & lifter failure. There certainly are things that make noises when the truck starts. My current 2021 is nice and...

    Service Electronic Stability Control Message and light.

    I'd park it at the dealer, ask for a loaner truck, and tell them not to give it back to you until it's got 500 miles on it without any codes. These things happen. I've bought three new vehicles that had problems out of the gate, including my previous 2015 Ram that was peeing tranny fluid out the...

    Disable auto tow mode

    If you take a different mindset, you'll realize that your truck revs higher on acceleration and sounds meaner.
