    Aftermarket temp trailer towing mirror recommendations

    I am buying a travel trailer that is almost 28ft hitch - bumper and thinking some towing mirror might be nice. Don't want to swap to OEM towing mirrors so curious if anyone has found a good add-on mirror to use only when needed.

    Trailer back-up camera using UConnect

    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?

    Change to turn signals in 2023 MY?

    Anyone else experienced a perceived change in the turn signal behavior going from a 21 or earlier truck to a 23? I keep telling myself I am imagining it and need to figure out exactly what my issue is but on the 23 I am frequently noticing the turn signal stays in after a lane change. In my 21...

    UConnect Box Update issues

    Yesterday my truck, 2023 Laramie with 12' screen, had a pop-up that said the Uconnect Box had an update. I initiated the update and then didn't think about it and turned off the truck! I put the truck in ACC mode and began the update again and when I came back it claimed to have finished but...

    So many Stellantis vehicles struggling to sell

    I have seen a few threads on the forum regarding Ram's recent drop in market share and sales volume and then saw this video on TFL today - seems like Strellantis has some serious issues to work out with model refreshes and/or price drops to move inventory. I don't think I'd be happy if I owned...

    Speed sensitive volume

    I have a new 2023 with the 12" radio and have the speed sensitive volume enabled but it doesn't seem to adjust at all - is there any trick to this or is just not very well designed?

    Exhaust seems louder on 23 vs 21

    Has Ram made any changes to the exhaust system in 22 or 23? My new 2023 Laramie seems slightly louder than my 2021 in a good way. Both Hemi ETorque Laramie trucks. Probably just my perception?

    Towing during engine break-in

    Picked up a 2023 on Friday and need to pick up our rpod travel trailed this weekend and tow it approx 60 miles hone to prep for the summer. Have about 200 miles on the odometer. The manual says to drive gently for the first 300 miles but doesn't say anything about towing. I seem to recall my...

    Exterior color options

    Was playing around on the Ram site today building different trucks and decided to look at the 4thgen classic options to compare prices. While exploring I noticed on the tradesman you can choose from 21 different paint colors including 13 'low volume' paint colors in crazy colors. Seems strange...

    TPMS change from 21 to 23?

    Does anyone know if the OEM tpms are the same from 21MY to 23MY? I have a new truck on order and want to swap wheels/tires between my trade and new truck and the dealer says they need the VIN for both to ensure the TPMS will still work. I will send them the 2 vins and generally am confident...

    Trailer brake disconnected warning light

    This was a new one for me today but good to know the truck has a light for this. Was pulling a trailer with trailer brakes and I disconnected the trailer with the ignition running and driving away noticed a new red light.

    12" Uconnect with 40/20/40 bench

    Does anyone have a truck with the 12" Uconnect and the front bench seat? I am ordering a 2023 Laramie in this configuration but could not find any trucks optioned this way on the lot of any dealers to see. Specifically looking for a picture of the screen and controls to see if there is a phone...

    New Ram brand app to replace Mopar app

    I was on the pacifica forum today (my other vehicle is a pacifica hybrid) and saw a post about the new Chrysler app for mobile and the fact it is more user friendly and has more info than the existing mopar owners app. Sure enough when I checked the Mopar app it had a notice to upgrade to the...

    bent rear window frame on A.R.E. CX series topper - can I fix it?

    I was getting ready to go out of town last week and loading the truck and camper and in the process closed the tailgate on my truck but left the topper rear gate up and then tried to back out of the garage and bent the door frame so it no longer will close tight enough to latch/lock. Ran over...

    Sad to see the quality of community and discussion on the site degrading recently

    I've been a long time member and contributor to this forum and have generally found the quality of the site and the community to be superior to many of the other Ram forums and other forums I've participated in for other vehicles. It has always been a great place to discuss 5th gen Ram trucks...

    I have a 2021 Laramie with the bench and am looking for a console cover for when the jump seat is folded down. I have gravel carhartt seat covers on the driver and pass seat from my earlier trucks that had the full console. Just got a new puppy who rides in a harness in the front passenger...

    Curious what my best sway prevention solution would be

    I have shared use of an R-Pod single axle travel trailer that I use 4-5 times a a year and currently pull with a standard ball hitch with stock truck and no weigh distribution or sway bars on hitch. The dry weight of trailer is 2,535lbs and fully loaded it is at most 3,800lbs (approx 400lbs...

    4auto 'feeling in pedal'

    Had a 2019 bighorn with 4auto and never noticed any difference in noise or feel between 2wd and 4auto. Traded that in for a 2021 Laramie and now when I use 4auto I get just the slightest sense through the gas pedal that there is a little drag or resistance. Can hear anything and it functions...

    Hot muffler tips - watch out!

    Just a reminder to be careful un-hitching your trailer after a long drive! Didn't hurt much but a few days later still have a pretty good burn mark. Those dual tips look nice but they are in a bad place for removing safety chains.
