As stated above it is a complicated answer. You need to consider all the factors and components and accout for all the people, fuel and gear in the truck and trailer and how you load the trailer as this all impacts payload and tongue weight. Even if you find a trailer over 30' with a tongue...

This is not an anomaly with the right vehicle and lease terms as many vehicles will perform better than the predicted residual. In this case you did essentially buy the vehicle because rather than turn it in a lease end you negotiated a sale to the dealer. I pulled equity for a 2015, 2017 and...

Depends on the deal - I start every lease with the assumption I will buy at lease end (generally the dealer actually buys as my trade). I lease rather than purchase either because the lease deal is better than the financing deal or because the 2-3 cost of ownership is less than a purchase.

You really can't determine if it is a good deal from the monthly payment alone. A good lease starts with a good selling price and then good numbers for the money factor and residual as well as your trade value if applicable. I always start with the sales price and then compare lease vs finance...

If you plan to turn the vehicle in at lease end you may have problems with any mods, if you plan to buy out the lease or work with a dealer to buy it out for trade or sale you can do whatever you want. I've modified all of my leased trucks but have also removed mods at lease end to put on the...

It is true you will have zero equity if you just hand back the keys at lease end but if you negotiate a good upfront deal you can cash out equity by trading-in or buying and selling at lease end. I've leased 4 sunrise and 2 Rams and have had equity in everyone allowing me to upgrade and reduce...

I am getting a travel trailer this spring and interested in adding a backup camera to the trailer. There are lots of wireless options with displays but I would prefer to use the 12" UConnect screen. Are there options that use the Aux 1 or Aux 2 camera input?

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.

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.

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...

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!

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.

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...

Almost 20% off MSRP seems like a good deal!

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

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.
