    Exhaust Leak-Muffler

    Just went through this on my ‘21 at 50k miles, the bolts both sheared in the area of the gasket, leaving their threaded portion in the rearward flange. I found that there was enough threaded bolt sticking out of the back of the flange to thread on an M10 x 1.5 sacrificial nut, weld it onto the...

    Calling All Patriot Blues!

    My Gen 4 Ram was Blue Streak, which I really liked, but the replacement Gen 5 in Patriot Blue is even nicer to my eye now. 2021 Limited Longhorn, LB, Black and Saddle interior. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Why is the crew cab with the 6.4 bed not a popular option?

    I think that the utility of the crew cab plus 6’4” bed is worth any headaches with parking or maneuverability. My last two Ram trucks (2014 1500 Laramie and 2021 1500 Longhorn) had this configuration. IIRC something like ~5% of dealer stock tends to have this combo, so not easy to find the right...

    Let’s see your lineup! How many rams have you had!?

    I’ve had two Ram’s, a 2014 1500 Laramie and my current 2021 1500 Longhorn. Both great trucks. Before that it was GMC :-( Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Post your Crew Cab 6’4 bed. (Official Longbed Thread)

    I had the same difficulty finding a Longhorn with 6’4” bed. So ordered one in September and have been enjoying it for a few weeks now. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Which Trims did We Pick

    There was only one choice for me. Fell in love with the Black and Saddle interior and the amazing wood accents. So I ordered a Longhorn and never looked back.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Picked it up on 11/4... love it! Cash incentives nearly non-existent for a 2021 Longhorn this month, so 0% / 60 month financing with a $500 kicker was the only extra value in this deal. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Monthly 4wd high activation

    I believe in the use-it-or-lose-it philosophy. Seems to hold true for lots of things, and 4x4 makes sense. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Oil change using an extraction pump

    Yep, standard operating procedure for Mercedes, which is really nice. Oil and filter changes from the top of the engine. [emoji106] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Adding blinks to turn signal

    On my Gen 4 2014 Laramie, enabling Tow/Haul caused the blink count to change to 6. Without Tow/Haul on it was 3. Not sure if it is the same on the 5th Gen trucks though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    My '21 Limited and what's new...

    Grampa taught me 40 years ago, just grab the steering wheel at the bottom and the trailer will go in the direction that you move your hand... ;-) Timeless advice, no need for funky gadgets Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I’ve been lurking here since my 2014 Laramie Crew 4x4 LB was totaled in February. It was hit while parked on the street by an inattentive private snow plow driver on a beautiful sunny non-snowy day. Big bummer. Anyway, I fell in love with the 2020 Longhorn and it’s black and saddle interior...
