    Fold down rear seat?

    the ones in my laramie dont. they are fixed. they do move a little when you scoot the bottoms forward in recliner mode.

    New Limited Interior Option Coming?

    I like the cover on the lower level of the console. I wish the one in my laramie was like that.

    CAUGHT: 2020 Ram 1500 With New Tailgate Design:

    good idea. a little misdirection for the competition..make it look like the finished product and send the competitors all back to the drawing board.

    Insurance rates

    we pay 2400$ or so per year for our 2019 laramie and 2017 infinit qx 50. I think adding the ram bumped the insurance 40$ per year over the 2017 gmc sierra I traded in. BTW we have all our stuff with usaa for many years and they have been very good to deal with the cpl. times we have ever had to...

    Ordering Laramie - Please help with axle

    that was going to be question as I have never had a locking diff till now and I will be heading into snow country soon. I guess it needs to be turned on when you expect to be driving in bad conditions. does it automatically shut off at speed or stay on till switched off.

    Payload discrepancy between door jamb sticker and RAM web site

    since the sticker is generated at the factory where the truck is built and every item that goes into the build is in a computer data base, seems that the sticker should be exact with regards to the vehicle as it leaves the factory. the final truck could/maybe is weighed at the end of the line...

    600lb Tongue weight, how much squat?

    for some reason mine didnt come with nice looking 6 spoke ones shown in the ads with a laramie with the sport pkg like I have. mine are the 5 spoke polished ones which the dealer says is a step up but I dont like the look of them as much so have been trying to convince myself to spend money and...

    Ride Quality 4x4 vs 4x4 off road package

    it is stiffer than stock and reduces lean on turns. I put one on to add a little stiffness to the rear and to reduce a little bit of shimmy I was getting while towing. the sway bar is the same size as the oem one so should not make any difference on wheel travel except that there are three...

    3.21. vs 3.92 gear

    I always got around 20 on the highway with my 5.3 sierra 4x4 ccsb with 3.42's and I expect to get about the same on my 4x4 ccsb laramie with 5.7 and 3.92 gears because of the two extra tranny gears on the ram. my son always gets 20 or more on his 2017 ram with same setup.

    600lb Tongue weight, how much squat?

    that sounds like a load. our TT is around 6000# when towing and I have the 33 gal. tank so I dont carry more than a few hundred ponds of stuff in the bed. with that load the truck doesnt seem to be overworked and oil and tranny temps stay low so maybe I could go another 1000# but on highways...

    Ride Quality 4x4 vs 4x4 off road package

    I went from a 2017 gmc sierra slt 4x4 ccsb with off road and just about everything else to my 2019 ram 1500 laramie 4x4 ccsb with the off road and sport pkg. stuff and it rides quite a bit smoother and handles much better. the coil springs, bigger brakes and quicker steering make it less truck...

    600lb Tongue weight, how much squat?

    we sure like the Freedom Express 246RKS that we bought. our new Ram 5.7 ccsb Laramie pulls it well.

    2019 Ram Motor Trend Truck of the Year

    often they pair the smaller motor with lower gears to compensate for less power and they end up getting about the same mileage. when I bought my first ram 4x4 1500 in '03 the dealers were hawking the small v8..4.8 I think. I test drove one for grins and I had to have my foot in it all the time...

    my fault for missing that.

    2018 best half-ton challenge from pickuptrucks.com

    I dont know how those numbers can be right. I just came from a2017 4x4 sierra with 5.3 and 3:42 rear end to a new laramie 4x4 with the 5.7 and 3:92. 24 more cubes+40 more hp+lower gears in the rear end and tranny. my ram feels quite a bit quicker and tows my travel trailer much easier. my butt...

    Replacing my TOW mirrors with Power Folding - 10% Cyber Monday

    yes they are large..I put a 9' wide door on my garage/shop when I built it and I'm glad I did because I only have less than 2" of clearance on each side when I pull in. the first cpl. times I hand folded the driver one back but I decided that continuous folding might wear out the stops so just...

    the yellow sticker on the door jamb of my ccsb 4x4 3.92 laramie shows about 500# less than either one of those tables. cat scale wt. was 5960# with me (225#) and about 120# of fuel leaving me only 1140# for everything else.
