    2019 RAM 1500 Lemon

    Seems like you have had a lot of brake problems. What was the problem you were having? Were they not functioning correctly or did you have a squeak?

    Official Stormtrooper Thread

    Great looking rig! Did the lift affect your ride at all? I put a Mopar 2" lift on a JK Wrangler I had and actually preferred the new ride. On my Ram, I love the way it looks with a lift but don't want to sacrifice the almost perfect factory ride it has.

    2019 RAM 1500 Limited/Longhorn buying advice

    I have not had my truck very long, but my father bought it new this past summer. Power, braking, driving performance are VERY good for a pickup....or any vehicle for that matter. My rig only has a bit over 6k miles, but fit and finish are near perfect. The truck hasn't been in the shop since...

    Bed Divider Needed for Hauling Smaller Items

    I agree 100%, but I bought my truck from my dad who decided it was a bit big for him. I had been looking at Power Wagons and the Ram Boxes were on my must have list. My dad's truck was like new for much less so I sacrificed my list a little and bought his so he could go another direction. I...

    Bed Divider Needed for Hauling Smaller Items

    That works fine when it's just me, but I have a family of four. Having all the usable space in the bed was what had me wanting a pickup in the first place. I'm just looking for the best ways to utilize that space so I don't have fruits and veggies rolling around as I drive home :cool:

    Bed Divider Needed for Hauling Smaller Items

    This is my first pickup and I am looking for advice from more seasoned pickup owners. I need a way to carry smaller items in the bed without them sliding everywhere. The most common purpose would be hauling groceries home from the shops. What are you guys using? Is there a must have bed...

    Convince a car guy to buy a 1500 (please)

    I have almost always had a large SUV and sporty sedan in my fleet at the same time. I had two Suburbans prior to ordering the 2003 Ford Excursion that I still have. During that time, I've owned 2-BMW 540i's, a Mercedes S55amg, a Mercedes E55amg, and a Dodge Charger Hellcat. My Hellcat lease...

    Opinion on what truck to get

    My dad bought an Ivory Laramie Longhorn with the Mountain Brown interior back in July. Fast forward to February, and he decided the truck was bigger than he was comfortable with. I purchased it with just over 5k miles. While my dad's truck isn't exactly what I would have bought myself new...

    Roll Up vs Retractable Bed Cover

    Well, after countless hours of reading and going back and forth on a bunch of different styles of bed covers, I settled on a Undercover Ultraflex flip style cover. I liked the retractable covers for their functionality, but they are more than double the cost of a decent flip cover. Undercover...

    Should I buy this barely used Laramie Longhorn?

    Thought I'd come back around and close out this thread. I tried my best to convince my dad to keep his truck, but he was adamant he wanted to sell it. I listed it on Facebook and Craigslist and got a handful of inquiries. I ran it through GetmyVIN, Carvana, and Vroom and got offers ranging...

    Roll Up vs Retractable Bed Cover

    The covers I'm looking at have a leather looking cover over the top. Underneath are metal slats which provide the security. I was thinking something like this for all the reasons you cited: https://realtruck.com/p/bak-revolver-x2-tonneau-cover/

    Roll Up vs Retractable Bed Cover

    I decided to buy my dad's 2019 Ram Laramie Longhorn that he decided isn't for him. It will be my first pickup truck (not counting the F150 I bought for my son). I am 100% certain I want a bed cover, but I don't know which direction to go. I want something that offers more security than a...

    POLL: Ram quality and reliability - perception vs. reality

    I owned a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon for two years and a 2016 Dodge Charger Hellcat for three years and neither vehicle went back to the dealer for anything. I didn't keep either vehicle long enough to know the long term reliability, but two for two ain't bad. I bought a 2020 Jeep Wrangler...

    Should I buy this barely used Laramie Longhorn?

    Funny you mention getting another Hellcat. I told my son this evening that maybe I'll hold off on this truck and start saving my pennies for a TRX. The Hellcat motor is a work of art and I'll have another down the road in one vehicle or another.

    Should I buy this barely used Laramie Longhorn?

    You are dead right about the best option being for him to keep it. I've suggested that multiple times as it is a really nice truck and he doesn't owe anything on it. I can't figure out why he's so adamant about not wanting it. I've got the truck at my house and he's sending me the title to...

    Should I buy this barely used Laramie Longhorn?

    I'm in my mid-40's and have owned more vehicles than I should have. That said, the only pickup I've owned is the one I bought for my son last year. I've had all kinds of coupes, sedans, and SUV's, but never a pickup. I thought the Ramboxes would add more trunk space if I needed it, but having...

    Should I buy this barely used Laramie Longhorn?

    My dad bought a Laramie Longhorn this past summer but has decided it isn't for him. He has serious buyers remorse and has asked me to either buy it myself or sell it for him. The MSRP on his truck was $65,910. I already had him return the maintenance package, wheel package, and 7/100k...
