    Cargo bag on top of a hard tonneau cover

    I need to carry a lot of personal belongings cargo and keep it dry. More than will fit in the bed. I have an inside the rails hard cargo cover that is rated to hold 400 lbs evenly distributed. I am considering buying a truck bed cargo bag and strapping it down to bull rings in the stake pocket...

    Does the entire WD Hitch count against capacity

    I am one of those people who didn't understand capacity when I bought my truck. I got so many nifty options, my payload is down to 1240 and I am now trying to get every bit I can figuring out what I can get for a trailer. I would also ask that you don't respond saying "don't worry about it"...

    Retrax Pro XR review

    I bought and eventually returned a Retrax PRO XR. I hope you find the following info helpful. Be aware that I ended up returning it after a week and replacing it with a Bakflip Mx4. The cover was solidly built. Nothing cheap about it (both in materials in price). It was somewhat fiddly to set...

    Mopar Bed Divider (non Ram Box)

    This thing has it's pros and cons. See my thread https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/the-saga-of-multiple-accessories-and-the-factory-rails.3776/post-54042 for the "review". I just figured I would post some pictures for anyone considering it. Note that at least at my large FCA dealership...

    Mopar bed divider review

    It is an interesting piece of kit. Clearly not made by fca and doesn’t say Mopar anywhere on it. What they did was adapt a product by creating special rails that attach to the factory rails. It seems well made and is pretty easy to move and take off. There are a few issues. The divider...

    The saga of multiple accessories and the factory rails

    Lot going on with this one. Tried a Retrax Pro XR and returned it. More on that later. It will work with factory rails but not at all with the Mopar bed divider. Got a Bakflip Mx4. Really like it. Clamps should just clear the Mopar bed divider rail but it appears the factory rails are not...

    CarPlay minimum volume with mapping

    CarPlay on my Uconnect doesn’t not seem to remember lowering the Mapping volume below 15. I tried both Apple maps and google maps. I have another brand car where this works. I know you have to change the volume only while it is speaking. Oddly it will remember if I raise the volume. But it will...

    Fresh Laramie Sport Appearance

    So far, no problems. I originally was planning to black out the chrome badging but now I kind of like it. I had not seen the Sport Appearance leather before ordering and that exceeded my expectations.

    eTorque 5.7 and 3.92 limited slip

    I test drove an eTorque truck with 3.21 gears and 20s. I am not sure if it was limited slip. It was very smooth. The eTorque system was not even noticeable. I got my truck a few days ago. It has a 3.92 limited slip rear. Other than that, I can't think of what would be involved in the drive...

    Upgrading seats from Laramie to Limited?

    I am one of those who ordered a decked out Laramie instead of a Limited because I don’t like chrome. But my wife and I test drove a Limited and the seats were significantly nicer. We both thought so. I am thinking of trying to upgrade my seats. Does anyone know if the foam is different? They...

    Easy to read article on etorque

    I found this went into some of the aspects of it that other articles didn’t and it wasn’t written too technical. https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/trucks/amp23306626/ram-1500-etorque/

    Does anyone have this cover with these factory options? Want to know if bed divider, tailgate extender, and tie down clamps all still function.
