    Coin holder - useful or stupid?

    I use it, though my wife tends to raid it so she wrap change. It's not too bad. A bit slow if you're streaming over bluetooth, and pointless if you're connecting your phone via USB as that will always be faster. It's a feature I use because it's there, but if it wasn't, I very seriously...

    Key Fob Not Detected.....but....it's in my pocket!

    I had this issue for years in my 2013 Explorer and now I'm having it with my new RAM. I just assume my fat *** is absorbing the RF signal.

    Sad day girl pulled out she didn’t see me

    I think the idea is that it may be best to see what kind of settlement is offered before involving lawyers. If you're offered 75% of the policy maximum, there's no reason to hire a lawyer to go after the maximum if they're going to take 33%. Unless you just want to stick it to the other...

    Tonneau Covers

    I've got this one, too. At first I thought the seals were letting in too much water during rain or washing, but it turns out you just have to use a bit more force than you'd think to get them to seat correctly when closing it.

    Forward Collision Scare

    I've had issues with weeds triggering an emergency stop while in reverse. It's kind of annoying, to be honest.

    I smell it too !

    I had a similar smell coming from the exterior of my truck for the first 1500 miles or so and though I was either crazy or some of the young guys at the dealership were taking their "breaks" near the truck prior to my purchasing it. Good to know I'm not crazy!

    New truck, rubber mats smell?

    I only had the typical new car smell when I got mine. They had to order the mats and install them a few days later, but no smell then, either. Also you should get the standard mats, too, since the rubber mats are an option/upgrade.

    Ford F-250 Totaled after rear-ending my Rebel

    On a side note, am I the only one that had a little chuckle at the name of the company on the side of that Ford?

    Ford F-250 Totaled after rear-ending my Rebel

    Yeah, that looks pretty bad. Depending on how fast "full speed" (or nearly) is, there's possible (perhaps likely) frame damage to your truck, and it's been my experience that very little gets the adjusters to mark "totaled" quicker than frame damage. Glad to hear you made it out OK, but I'd...

    Rear park assist with stop

    I had this kick in over the weekend and it scared the **** out of me. I was backing up and angled slightly to get off the road and I guess it didn't like those trees (10+ feet behind me...), so the brakes were applied instantly and fully.

    Should RAM ditch the knob shifter ?

    Yeah the only thing you NEED the touchscreen for is the vented seats. Regarding the knob, I thought it was goofy the first time I saw it however many years ago, but after spending the last two weeks with my truck and seeing just how much center console space it's freed up (versus my old...

    Do you actually use your panoramic sunroof?

    If I was ordering a truck, I'd leave it off. I bought my Limited off the lot and it has one, so it's there. My 2012 Explorer had one as well, and I can probably count on my fingers the number of times I actually used it over the years. That said, I have opened it up on my Ram a couple of...

    Hard-Folding Tonneau Cover

    How water tight should I expect this cover to be? I know that SOME water is expected to get it, of course, but I'm seeing a big more than I expected. There's some standing water in the bed after it a moderate rain shower, enough that if I had, say, a golf bag in the bed along a side, it'd be...
