    I Said Goodbye Last Night...

    Hey all, bittersweet to report that I parted with my 5th gen Limited, last night. After leasing it new in September of '19 and then buying it out in September of '22 at lease end (I was originally going to sell/third party buyout and get something else but due to inventory shortages stemming...

    Target price for negotiations on this Limited?

    Hey all, as a follow up to my previous post, I’ve decided to switch my search from a Longhorn to a Limited; it just makes…more sense to get more for the same or less amount of money. That said, I ran across this Limited located at a dealer ~200 miles from me: New 2023 Ram 1500 LIMITED CREW CAB...

    Deciding between 2 trucks…

    Hey all, thinking it might be time to replace my ‘19 but despite the supposed Stellantis inventory surpluses it’s been a bit difficult finding a truck spec’d close to how I’d prefer. Coming from a Limited, I’m looking at a Longhorn to switch things up preferably equipped with the HEMI, air...

    Dreaded dash bubbles…

    Welp guys, it finally happened to me last week. The drivers side dash in my 2019 limited started to bubble and my god, having to stare at it every day is driving me insane. So much so that I’m considering getting a new truck lol I know this has been covered to death, but wanted to verify…are...

    Negotiating Price On This ‘23 Longhorn?

    Hey all, wanted to get some opinions on how much I might be able to negotiate on this truck I found at a dealer local-ish to me. I figured given the inventory surplus (from what I’ve read) Stellantis is experiencing, along with the fact that ‘24 MY are starting to hit dealers and the 2025...

    Rough Country Speedometer Calibrator “Error Code 90”

    Hey all, I’ve had the RC speedo calibrator for several years but just had my truck in for service where it looks like things were reset and I need to re-calibrate the speedo for my 34s. That said, when I plug in the tool, it gives me “error code 90: calibration updated” - anyone know what this...

    ‘23 MY Steering Wheel Change

    Hey all - has anyone else noticed that the steering wheel was changed for the ‘23 MY on upper level trims (Longhorn & Limited, in particular)? The top half used to be matching wood grain with the rest of the interior but now is just leather wrapped. IMO the change doesn’t tie the interior...

    $12k off MSRP for factory orders?

    Hey all, dropped my truck off at a local dealer today and noticed a sign they had on the front door that read “$12k off MSRP for factory orders” (should’ve taken a picture) - has anyone else seen/experienced this? Is this a network wide thing or at the dealer’s discretion? What’s the catch?

    Digital Gauge Cluster - Map View

    Hey all - with the updated digital gauge cluster coming/here for the ‘23 MY, anyone have an idea whether or not there will be a map/****pit view feature like the attached image? This was taken from my loaner Wagoneer and I have to admit, it’s pretty sweet. Also, wireless Apple CarPlay is pretty...

    *sigh* just a vent, really

    Just here to vent, really - so thanks, to anyone in advance for listening/reading. I love my truck, I really do. It has everything I would want (save for massage seats and hands-free driving/cruise control, but those are still not even factory options, yet - which I find odd in the hyper...

    Headlamp LED accent strip flicker *2/21 UPDATE*

    Hey all, so just left my local dealer after diagnosing the LED failure/flicker issue mentioned in my previous post. They are calling this an “internal circuit failure” and the entire headlamp needs to be replaced. Unfortunately, the assembly itself is not covered under the Maxcare Extended...

    2019 Limited - LED Accent Strips Failure

    Hey all - I’m experiencing the first real “problem” with my truck in 3+ years and was hoping there might be an easy fix vs going to the dealer… I noticed in a window reflection when pulling into a parking lot, this morning that the LED accent strips on my driver’s side headlight were no longer...

    Ideas to “re-invigorate/renew” my truck?

    Hey all, happy new year to everyone! Seeking some ideas from all of you on how I could “re-invigorate/refresh/renew” my truck - I have a 2019 Limited with pretty much every option that I originally leased. My lease came due in September, and with the chip shortages and general mayhem that was...

    Lease End Plan DOA - Buyout Options?

    Hey all, this is more of a rant/vent more than anything else. My lease is up in September and my original plan was to execute a third party buyout outside of my 60 window (no later than end of July), take the equity (last I checked in Feb I had in excess of $10k) and get into something else. The...

    New Tires On

    Hey all, just slapped on some new tires for my rig as my previous set was beyond their last leg. Went with Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T in 295/60/20 and WOW what a world of difference. Smooth as hell, quiet and an overall great choice: aggressive looking, 3PMSF rated, 50k mile treadwear...

    When is the DT due for a mid-cycle refresh?

    It seems just like yesterday that Ram debuted the 5th gen to thunderous ovation, particularly with the benchmark setting interior and the largest (at the time) infotainment screen in the segment. Fast forward just ~3 years and most of the direct competitors have either caught up or significantly...

    Help w/Lease-End Options

    Hey all, I wanted to get some real world experiences for anyone who may have gone through this recently so I can plan ahead and know what to expect, especially since this is my first lease. The lease on my truck comes due September 2022 and was done through Chrysler Capital. I have 11 payments...

    will need new tires, soon - suggestions?

    Hey all, so I replaced my stock ORG wheels/tires within 6 weeks of taking delivery of my truck back in 2019. I'm currently running Atturo TrailBlade XT in 295/60-20 and have 30k-35k on them. If you ask me how they are, they're...fine. These are my first set of A/T tires so I really have no basis...
