    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Started working on my Bedrug. Love it so far. Installation can be tedious if you're paying attention and want perfection.

    I test drove the Pilot two years ago and could not fall in love with it. It was, probably, the car most truck drivers need but not want. Looking at RAM '26 line up, what I really need is a Warlock with Tungsten seats (adjustments, heated, ventilated, quality leather). The rest of the Warlock is...

    So who's getting those awesome checks for performing quality assurance on $70K trucks?

    Undercover Bed Cover FX31008 - 50% off on American Trucks

    https://www.americantrucks.com/undercover-flex-tonneau-cover-2019-ram-1500-w-57-ft-64-ft-box.html Check 50% coupon when adding the item to the cart. Looked too good to be true, but I checked the SKUs and the cover seems to be legit.

    Ok, so that falls under Level 2. I have Level 1, so that explains everything.

    Interesting. What packages do you have and what does your build sheet say about PWU capabilities? Is there a line item that specifically outlines PWU? Approach lights?

    @USMUSL - does your Laramie have Proximity Wake Up feature explicitly stated in UConnect? My does not. It was a bummer because as I read the manual, I thought the feature was implicitly enabled when you turned on other features, like Greeting Lights. In any case, no proximity wake up for me...

    It is so true. Never ever drive with guns through NJ. You're basically one unplanned stop away from being a felon.

    BedRug offers a solution for spay-on beds, it is an adhesive kit you'd get separately. https://realtruck.com/p/bedrug-spray-in-adhesion-kit-for-bedrug-liners/v/ram/truck-1500/2025/

    @RamTruckMan - I may do the best of both worlds and get Line-X and Bed Rug. Keeping the options open. Bakflip MX4 should keep things dry and an RC Mat will go either on top of BedRug or Line-X.

    Soft Tonneau Cover Treatment

    Take the cover off, blast it with a pressure washer using a 40 degree nozzle. Turn it upside down and do the same. If you don't wash two sides, you'll always have dirt as the dirt will transfer when you roll up the cover. For that reason, I don't do soft roll-up covers.

    @StuartV - Big battery is 12.47V. Small - 11.4V. I haven't really driven the truck after coming back from FL, so it just sits outside for now. Mileage - as shown by the onboard computer and roughly calculated based on the distance between me and my friend's house. I am repeating the same trip...

    Hurricane Gas mileage

    '25, 3.0 SO, 3.55, and 91 octane Completed 1,000 round trip with mostly highway and some small town/rural driving. 23.9 MPG combined. When I am driving in town, the mileage drops. I'll take all of that given the power, the comfort, and the engine's smoothness.

    I've had rain sensitive wipers since '08 in multiple cars. The RAM ones are on crack.

    @RamTruckMan - you can't compare CT to GA. I got experience in both states. In GA, you can open it up nicely, but I don't want to get into a habit and tempt highway patrol when I am out of state. Folks do 85-90 mph regularly, and it is super easy in a SST.

    Orange Peel

    2025 RAM has orange peel, but it is not horrible. Toyota paint is absolutely horrendous. Ford seems to be okay, but I haven't seen too many trucks up close and paint corrected none. BMW, Lexus, Porsche seem to have better paint jobs than the domestics. My advice - don't screw with it. The...

    72-77 mph all the way on I-95. I am on a tight schedule and can't go slow. I do the same trip twice a month and can vouch for time, speed, and mpg in all cars that I drive there.

    I debated on whether I should go with Line-X. Decided against it for now. The way I see it, BedRug is a reversible decision. Line-X is not. Forgot to add... 23.5 mpg over 1000 highway miles. Smile on my face. Zero stops on the way to my destination. Taco was barely 19 mpg on a good day on the...
