    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I may find out differently, but my initial assumption is that the swap will only make financial sense to trade at a Ram dealer rather than sell and buy at different dealers. I live in Wisconsin, where we have a 5% sales tax. Plus a .5% county sales tax. BUT we don't pay tax on the amount of the...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    So far I've only been contacted by one dealership - the same Ford dealer from both the AutoNation and the KBB inquiries. Two different sales people. That dealer is nearly 100 miles from me. While I have some appreciation for the business model, it could be better.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Out of sheer curiosity I thought I checked with AutoNation and KBB for their purchase offer on my 2019, just to see what they would offer. After submitting online I was contacted by a Ford dealer, claiming to be the preferred dealer in my area. Makes no sense to me. Why assign a Ford dealer to...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I would be perfectly fine keeping my truck. I know dealer stock is low. But that doesn't really matter because they truck I would order isn't going to be found on a lot anyway. I would order a quad cab Laramie with air ride. I don't think any dealer is going to order that configuration for their...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I'm getting curious about the idea of trading/selling my 2019 Laramie and ordering a new one. I just bought it used in October 2020, and I love it. But maybe not as much as one perfectly configured to my liking if I order? With the increase in values I could probably make a couple grand on...

    How are the stock tires in the snow?

    All good info above, but it sounds like most that replied were driving their truck for their first winter this past one. I.e. their tires were new, low miles, barely any wear. So I thought I would share my experience. Bought my 2019 Laramie in October 2020 with 20, 000 miles. Factory...

    Easter Egg? Not Sure, But It Was Awesome.

    Haven't tried this with my Ram yet, but my 2018 jeep grand Cherokee would not allow me to back up to a trailer with the driver door open. Always has to close the door before it would move.

    What do these do ???

    I think you have it right. One is for ambient lighting for sure. I also think the other is for instrument lighting. Like said above. Try them when it's dark outside.

    BFG KO2 285/60/20 Tire Pressure

    Greetings. I recently replaced the stock tires with the larger bfg"s. Thinking about what tire pressure I should run. Door jam says 36 for stock tires. Dealer set new tires at 41. I emailed bf goodrich with this question. They gave me a disclaimer but said the manufacturer suggested psi for this...

    LT Trailboss..

    My Ram story is short. I had my eyes on a Trailboss LT with 6.2L also. One Saturday my wife and I went to a dealership and drove a 6.2L and a diesel. Left the dealership thinking that was the choice I was going to make. But my wife kept commenting on how cheap and unattractive the interior was...

    Real world MPGs / What are you averaging?

    I'm getting in the 15-16 range with a level and bigger tires. Lost 1 to 2 mpg with the tires. Not a lot of highway driving. Probably 70/30 city/highway. Best trip was 21 on a 200 mile trip mostly highway with tail wind. Return route was 19.

    speedometer calibration ?????

    I went back to my dealer with the info from Ramchaser. They still couldn't get it done. Another ram dealer in my area said straight up nope. Buy a decide to do it yourself. There's another dealer a little further away. Guess I'll call them. But seriously thinking about alpha OBD and doing it...

    Help! Leveling kit 2019 Laramie

    Ya that's my thought too. I've been thinking about the hellwig. Sounds like You're saying that even though the body roll is caused by rasing the center of gravity in the front, adding the hellwig in the rear will help with the body roll?

    Help! Leveling kit 2019 Laramie

    Before reading on this forum I didn't know anything about lifts and levels. Just knew I wanted to take out the rake. The Readylift is what the dealer chose. We didn't have any discussion of options. After reading this site, I would definitely be checking into the Bilstein adjustable shocks as an...
