    500 miles and towing break in

    50mph for 500 miles towing seems a little extreme for me. It’s a CYA statement for the company is my guess. I towed a lighter pop up camper that weighs around 3500 lbs for a 200 mile camping trip. I stayed off the expressway and stayed 50 or under most of the time. I went 55 on roads that...

    Poor gas mileage

    You guys need to remove the back seat. Upped my mileage 2 mpg. Also, as a side benefit, no more annoying kids in the back seat. Looking at taking the passenger seat out of the front. I heard that even makes the stereo sound better!

    The single biggest reason I ordered the Longhorn instead of the Limited......

    Was a little too cowboy for me, but I appreciate the craftsmanship. That is spectacular.

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    Doubtful that you will ever get full charges that fast, but 80% charges will be quite fast in the not too distant future. The battery capacity is always the limiting factor…. Obviously harder with trucks that are towing.

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    Charging and battery technology will get better/faster exponentially. For now, I agree that the charger is much more reasonable for towing and general use. It’s a band aid.. For how long.. who knows l. Especially for towing… It will be less necessary as technology grows. A pure...

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    The rev will be better when charging stations are numerous because you won’t have to buy gas, a gas engine, or a generator and put it in a truck. Until then I agree with you, though.

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    Rev will be the better option for anyone when the charging stations are numerous where you drive. Charger will be a band aid till then for most. Will continue to be useful in remote areas. I keep my trucks for 10 years usually. My 22 Laramie should take me to 32 at the least barring any...

    Why Laramie over Big Horn?

    I was looking at a limited instead of the Laramie. Now I’m glad I do not have real leather on my dash. I find the pleather on the dash much nicer than the plastic on my 2011.

    Why Laramie over Big Horn?

    The tradesman or bare bones Bighorn are substantially cheaper than the Laramie. However, the Bighorn with a few options is quite close in price to a Laramie. The Laramie has a lot of really nice base features. I like the easy cleanup leather, ventilated seats. Electric adjustable seats...

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    Very nice looking truck! You did a nice job on it. When I was younger, I bought a brand new 95 ram regular cab four-wheel-drive. By the time I totaled it, I had it all tricked out. I love that truck. Had the small v8 and stick shift. Went anywhere. Now I just by runningboards and a...

    I would like to see a pic of your truck. I bet the 35’s look great. I’m seemingly into boring grandpa HT tires anymore.
