    Anyone make sway bar disconnects?

    Guessing theres a lack of market demand due to so few serious off-roaders converting Rams to die-hard trail vehicles

    Do I need skid plates?

    U referenced just the skid plates in ur 1st post...they are minuscule. If ur talking about the whole pkg...then yes, that's different

    Do I need skid plates?

    It would be minuscule, were talking sheet metal not tank armor...maybe 5-10lbs ea. at the most

    Switch console USB port with USB3 from the backseat?

    When a charge port is designated as such from the factory it is physically missing the required "data-transfer" wires/contacts. (same as some cheap USB cables are designated charge-only because its cheaper with just the 2 power wires) To switch as you've described means you would physically...

    2020 RAM Truck Vehicle Search

    Go to a dealer and have them quote exactly what u want with a final, on-the-road price. Then shop it to other dealerships. Ur prob locked in to the October date as it's a special order.

    RAM 1500 as daily commuter?

    Treat it like a tablet, press/hold/drag to bottom. Truck has to be stopped tho...not that I actually tried this while cruising down the interstate @ 80mph ;)

    Do I need skid plates?

    I pay 40k+ for a truck, I bought it for its versatility for on or off the road. If I wreck it, I'm not crying because I'm the one at fault. That's how I role The OPs request was for advice regarding light offroading, which a 40k truck should be perfectly capable of. Ur point only makes sense...

    Do I need skid plates?

    Nope neither my '16 or '18 had the "protection pkg". I personally thot that should've been a standard on a model aimed at the offroad crowd

    Do I need skid plates?

    Should also note, neither of my rebels had skid plates but it didnt stop me from a few novice trails. Now that I think on it, the nerf bars were more necessary in trailing than skids. [See pic of my truck sitting on them] many times saved the underside of my truck from hitting because of the...

    Do I need skid plates?

    Wait are u trying to decide between which truck to get? If the hang up on the ram is skid plates then u can always buy the mopar skid plates for a couple hundred and add yourself. But from what u described u dont need them imo. The first couple hundred I'd spend would be on a hellwig...

    Larger Tires = better MPG & more miles than Odometer

    True, but 7in distance traveled is the variance, I dont see that causing an issue with ur points. MPH & MPG is the greatest disparity as 7in / per rev. in a mile really adds up. Besides if there were issues stemming from larger tires beyond the OP, I'm sure there'd be threads up everywhere as...

    ran my hemi hard today, she did NOT like it

    U should "beat it" to expose any problems while the warranty is still in your favor

    Larger Tires = better MPG & more miles than Odometer

    [This only applies if u have NOT calibrated your truck Odo. to New, larger-than-stock diameter tires] I put 285/55/22 RG on awhile back. Using GPS i knew i gained around 5mph...which meant my MPG should also be up. But truck mpg readout & my calculations both showed a drop :unsure: I knew...

    RAM 1500 as daily commuter?

    Houston, I think we found ur problem...dont drive around in 4wd auto. Yes that's causing ur low mpg & worse ur binding. [...4wd-auto works well in Dry conditions on FWD vehicles as the front axle "pulls" & steers so it never has a chance to bind with the rear. For a Rwd vehicle, no matter how...
