    Official thread for pictures of Ram towing campers

    Realize it's been awhile since this post but curious how you like the North Country 24BHS. I'm looking at upgrading my travel trailer and that model is at the top of my list.

    3.6, 1500, expected real mpg

    My 2014 1500 quad cab with the 3.6 and 3.21 gears averaged 19-20 mpg in mixed driving and as much as 23-24 on 60mph level cruising.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I agree that vehicles are generally not a good investment in the traditional sense (i.e. they don't generally appreciate in value) but in some cases a new vehicle can make financial sense in the right situation and considering other factors. I live in an urban area with work, kids school and...

    Tow hooks and d ring shackle

    They pop out after you remove the retainer clips from the backside. I recommend keeping them if you have a spot in case you decide to trade-in your truck at some point and want to pull them off and put the panel back. I've had my tow hooks on 3 different trucks already!

    Tow hooks and d ring shackle

    Agree with you on that soft shackles are awesome but I've always been told you should never attach to the hitch pin in the receiver as this can be a failure point when used that way and cause its own issues.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    That is interesting- I considered Mark Dodge on a previous purchase but didn't want to travel down or deal with a local trade. Hadn't considered shipping the new truck and the trade both or even thought of it as an option! When you say theybjaf a guy drive it I assume you mean a shipper on a...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Almost 20% off MSRP seems like a good deal!

    2025 brochure

    I think that is the RHO they've been teasing as last release MY25 and kind of a rebel/trx mix.

    Trying to decide on off road group (AWL) package for a 2025 tungsten

    If you are placing an order you should have an option for decal delete (at least that used to be an option on 5th gen). I've also heard the OEM Falkens are not the same and might be non 3 peak rated and lower treadwear.

    Start of 2024 Production

    I've done that before I've done 2 dealer trades, one local and one they drove about 6hrs round trip for the trade - neither added any cost to the deal we made. Not sure if the fact it is or of state matters but otherwise it is a good option.

    Start of 2024 Production

    My dealer locked in the incentives and rebates at order and then co.pared those avail at delivery and gave me the best deal. I was under the impression MD did the same.

    First oil change V6 3.6L 2023 Bighorn. OEM or?

    If you take your truck to a dealer or other vendor for an oil change I recommend marking your filter and/or watching the work if you're able. I had a dealer out change and when I decided to change it myself the next time found the original oil filter still in place and stamped "factory...

    First oil change V6 3.6L 2023 Bighorn. OEM or?

    I've had several pentastars and always do OEM filter and any full synthetic withbthe mopar certification. Important on that filter to mark the position on filter and housing to assist with how tight to re-thread and also make sure to replace the O-rings that cone with the new filter.

    Instrument cluster

    I think you're correct - looks like the options setup screen on my digital cluster in a 2023 Laramie.

    What color would you choose?

    I have had 4 silver trucks- easy to keep clean and looking good even with road salt or gravel. The 4th gen bright silver was even better than the 5th gen billet silver.

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    The Ramcharger doesn't use the turbo engine - it uses the pentastar V6.

    What are the current residual value %'s on new RAM leases?

    Yes - at least every lease I have had from Chrysler, Ally and Subaru included Lessee 1st option, dealer 2nd and lessor last. If ther2 is any equity as you approach lease end it makes sense to buy the lease and then sell/trade. I've done this 7 times and if you are working with a dealer using...

    What are the current residual value %'s on new RAM leases?

    What I have done each time is starting 2 years I to the lease I look at the kbb value compared to my payoff quote from the leasing company. If the value is significantly more than the payoff (payoff is residual plus remains payments and some fees depending on the lease) I start negotiating with...

    What are the current residual value %'s on new RAM leases?

    To the 1st question you are correct, if you are 100% going to buy out the lease being over mileage doesn't matter at all because you're buying it. If you turned it in at lease end or wanted to trade it (i.e. sell to the dealer) you would take the hit for the lower than planned value. If the...

    Rambox and golf bag. Length change with bed length?

    This is true in the 5th gen 1500, you can't get rambox with the 6'4" bed.
