    28K and brakes needed already?

    Since day 1 I've been very pleased with the brakes on my 2020 Laramie Longhorny. Very recently, the brakes started feeling weird..almost like they're heat faded, but this is all the time, not after a long downhill. I've not towed anything with this truck yet and 80% of my driving is highway...

    How long does it take for your doors to lock when driving away?

    When I first got the truck the doors locked very quickly when I started to drive. Lately, I've noticed it may take me driving over 20 MPH or sometimes 1/4 mile or more before the doors lock. It's not consistent, but not at all like it was a month ago. Anyone else?

    Uconnect app question

    I was just looking in the google play store at the uConnect app and noticed the images on the store show an "Info" tab at the bottom of the app which shows fuel level, tire pressures, etc. I don't have that tab or button in my app for my truck. Anyone have the "info" button? This is what I see:

    Tint top of windshield (brow tint) with rain sensing wipers?

    I had my front windows tinted recently, but they told me they can't put a brow tint on the windshield due to the rain sensing wipers. Is this correct? I figured they'd tint in 2 pieces, one on the left up to the camera housing and one on the right in the same way and avoid all the sensors...

    uConnect app issue

    So, I've read the issues about the truck not waking up to accept app commands (lock, remote start, etc) after a period of sitting. I have what may be similar or not. I have security cameras in my garages and last night I was trying the App commands. Truck had been sitting for more than 8...

    12 volt power from near rear view mirror?

    Has anyone tapped into 12V power from the area at the top of the windshield near the rear view mirror? I'm sure there is switched power in that big, black box with the cameras and such inside, but would love some assistance on how to get it open without breaking something. Thanks

    Another feature that works very well...

    I never got along well with the Sync systems in my previous Fords. My Ridgeline had great nav, but the voice control stuff sucked bad and the infotainment system was so sluggish whenever you asked it to do anything new. What a fantastic experience I've had with the system in my new Ram! Voice...

    Another stupid question...

    I guess I didn't think enough about it, but now that I own it I see there is only 1 12 volt power source in this truck and it's up on top of the dash. WTF, Ram? So my question is...is that hot all the time or does it power down with the accessory delay feature? Thanks

    Anyone know what the factory rear window tint % is?

    Wondering what the rear doors and rear window tint % is? Door glass looks lighter than my last couple trucks.

    Does uConnect and the app use cellular for commands?

    Does anyone know for sure what RF is used for the command relay from the servers the app talks to to the truck's RF hub?

    Learned something today

    So today I'm at breakfast with my daughter. We're chatting and I decide "hey...let's see if this uConnect app thingy works" So, I open the app and click on the "Horn and Lights" icon, thinking it's going to flash the lights a couple times and beep the horn. Wasn't I embarrassed when it went...

    What comes with the Ram Box Cargo Management System?

    When I picked up my truck I noted to the salesman that the bed divider/extender thing wasn't in the truck. According to everything I find online, including Ram's videos, the "Ram Box Cargo Management System" is a system comprised of the Ramboxes, Sliding cargo tie downs and the bed...

    My Ram app (aka Ram Toolbox)

    Anyone using this app? I downloaded it to have the manual on my phone, but when I click the tab for the manual all I get is a link to go buy older manuals from some company.

    Just tried calling "Ram Cares" for the first time...

    I'm picking up my new truck this afternoon and thought...why not call this Ram Cares thing and see what that's like? Ho lee crap The woman that answered the phone sounded like she was half asleep. She couldn't answer a single question I asked (any programs or incentives for business owners...

    Anyone get the $500 extra Sam's club money?

    I just found a link that gives me a certificate number to get an additional $500 off if I'm a Sam's club member. Anyone else get this? I also have that BonusDrive $250 coupon from Allstate. Seems like easy money.

    Auto-dim headlights and chromatic dim mirrors?

    Drove a 2020 Laramie Longhorn that I'm going to try to make a deal on. I had auto-dim high beams enabled in the 12.4" Uconnect, but the headlights never dimmed during my hour long drive (at night) Had the headlights on auto and pushed the stalk forward to turn on the high beams. Mostly...

    Power side steps question

    If you live in an are that gets winter, snow, ice, salt or sanded or sanded roads how do the powered side steps do with collecting crap? Do they ever hold enough that they won't close fully or ever freeze open or closed? I run my cars through a fancy car wash several times a week in winter...

    Hard, folding tonneau for ram box and multi function tailgate?

    Has anyone begin making a hard, folding tonneau for the DT with ram box and multi-function tailgate? I've used the Extang Encores on my last dozen trucks and really like them, but nothing there for this new one yet. The Ram soft tonneau is an option until a hard cover is available I suppose...

    Ordering oddities

    I thought the combination of options and color I wanted was realistic. But, Ram doesn't build them like this for some reason. Can't get a Rambox in a 6.5' bed. Can't get multi-function tailgate in Ivory White Tricoat Of course, I wanted a long bed, in Ivory white tricoat with multi-function...
