I think discussions of resale based on trim and options are a bit hyped. Anyone with common sense who is looking for a used car and truck will largely make the decision on miles and condition (including service history) at a given price point. Yes, certain options may make a truck more or less...

Geoffrey's experience is not typical or Ram would sell zero trucks, but I believe what he is saying. I suspect his truck was perhaps damaged in shipping (partially flooded perhaps?) or intentionally sabotaged in some type of plant dispute. That being said, there is a lesson in that...

The Laramie with the Level 2 package has LED headlights and fog lights that automatically illuminate on turns/. I drove the Limited as well - both at night because we do a fair amount of driving where critters are present- and I couldn’t really tell any difference. The Limited headlights do...

Almost always use top tier (Shell) so I guess it is a non issue. Thanks all.

I have a 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie (5.7 etorque) with about 33k miles. Truck has been very reliable. I am generally of the "if ain't broke don't fix it" mindset but I am wondering if people recommend any fuel system conditions such as Techron, Seafoam, BGK, etc. I have not experienced any...

If the truck is not indicating an oil pressure issue with a warning light, and the oil pressure gauge is not indicating any issue, then you have no issue. From a comparison of other vehicles we have owned and still own, I can tell you that 33 psi at idle when the oil is hot is actually in the...

We have a Laramie with the Level 2 package. We also looked at the Limited and and the Longhorn. All gorgeous trucks but I didn’t want the air suspension because I tend to keep vehicles for 10 years plus and didn’t want to deal with the overhaul costs of an air suspension. I have dealt with it...

To be fair, as an attorney, I can tell you that you are correct but the problem is practical in the sense that people don't want to be placed under the burden of having to evidence that a vehicle was properly maintained because if you are a dealer customer, and an issue arises, unless something...

I did it myself this last time because I noticed that after an oil change with the 5w20 bulk oil the dealer was using, I would have the "Hemi tick" at start up for a second or two, only a few thousand miles (not even) after the oil change. Truck only has about 32k on the clock. I wasn't...

Sorry to be pointed, but this is a great example of why not to do this kind of thing. Probably the best thing about the Ram 1/2 ton is the ride quality and NVH, particularly for a truck. When you add aggressive tires, you are degrading the ride quality, increasing noise, decreasing the...

I have chrome. I am 49. The monochrome look of body colored bumpers is too much. And I dont need to bellyache about rock chips on my bumper.

I would leave it alone, particularly if you place any value on maintaining the 8/85 warranty on the etorque system.

Above is all good advice. I would reiterate: ask for service records. Any car or truck with any kind of mileage, even much lower mileage, is a pig in a poke without records. Secondarily, I would also have the truck inspected by a good shop. This way to the extent there are issues coming up...

I think the takeaway here is that the Ram 1500 is the nicest truck in its class. Not that the others, particularly the Silverado and F150, aren’t nice, but I think the Ram has them beat overall. My Ram 1500 is the best vehicle I have ever owned and I have been fortunate to have some really...

We have a 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie crew cab with the 5.7 and e torque. We have the level 2 package so it is really well equipped. 3.92 rear end. We leased it originally because I had questions about reliability. I wanted a Tundra 1794, but my wife and kids wanted the Ram. So I was a skeptic...

I would keep them clean - remove all salt and other dirt and grime with warm water (out of a garden spray nozzle, no pressure washing), clean them with a distilled solution of simple green, and then rinse again with warm water. Clean them in the extended position. Make this part of your...

I am sorry I am not sure what you mean. Pick ups typically have space somewhere on the dash or console where there are either blanks where you can put switches, or switches that are not connected to anything. The purpose is to give the ability to add electrical features. For example, in one...

I would think the additional upfitter switches are the dash are the more appropriate way (more professional, more integrated) than using the buttons designed for the garage door remote. That would bother me as tacked on.

For the seats, if they are not leather, you can try the upholstery tool that often comes with commercial grade carpet cleaners of the type you rent at, for example, Home Depot. Headliner may be impossible to deal with short of replacing it. If you are going to replace it, and don't care about...

Additional thought is to check the laws where you live. The strip across the top is probably OK, but you never know. Tinting whole front windshield likely illegal. I know enforcing the motor vehicle laws is now considered equivalent to state-sanctioned racism in many jurisdictions, but it...
