    Secret Storage

    I don't have one of these new Rams but saw this in another thread. There's a picture floating around here showing a cable near the top of the backside of the rear seat... on the driver's side IIRC. A few other pictures here show the seats folded down.

    What Radar Detectors are you Running?

    Serious question here, I promise I'm not trolling, but what parts of the country still need radar detectors? I thought I've been noticing law enforcement allowing substantial speeds above posted limits before getting involved. It seems they use to get ya for more than about 5 mph over, but 10...

    Who knows about the TPMS?

    A quick disclaimer: there is no standardization, or requirement, or regulation as for how manufacturers implement TPMS systems. I mean, yes, some basic things like FCC requirements and rejection of signals from other vehicles have to be there, but the nuance of how TPMS operates, behaves...

    Secret Storage

    It isn't obvious that the rear-seat backs fold down; nobody would know unless you own a Ram. To the casual observer the rear-seat back is permanently fixed in place. My thought was to somehow hang a pouch on the back of the seat and use that for stashing things.

    6 mpg better than Hemi in C&G tests

    EXACTLY. My gosh. If these people need to count pennies over the span of 100,000 miles, they probably need to re-consider if they should be buying a new vehicle at all.

    USB source for audio

    How about getting a charge-only USB cable. These don't have the data lines, just power.

    Don't Tow With Ford Ad

    Par for the course. Ford Legal seems to call a lot of shots, this commercial, and many nanny-state lockouts within their infotainment system that kill enjoyment and convenience. It's so bad that aftermarket hacking tools have been developed to help people defeat the dumbshit. Ford has forgotten...

    2019 Ram Rebel highway MPG test

    Interesting, Jared. I appreciate your thoughtful approach. I wonder if Andre might bring his truck to run your loop, and vice-versa, your truck in Colorado on their loop. Might be an interesting addition for the upcoming article.

    So what does $1200 buy me?

    I think you pretty much got it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but mostly the same functionality just bigger. With that said, if you use navigation for actually navigating and viewing the road ahead... the difference is HUGE. As good as the 8.4" screen is, the fact that it's permanently in...

    Mototrend Work Truck Comparison

    The looks alone don't cut the mustard. Monstrosity is a word that comes to mind. The mini bowtie offset to the drivers side is the cherry on this aesthetic disaster.

    MPG effect of 3.92 rear end

    Awesome. It was an acquisition a few years ago, the app existed and then Fuelly bought them. Hopefully whoever wrote the app saw a nice payday.

    Ram Brand U.S Sales Up 25% In April

    I half expect Chevy to come out and say we don't know a good truck when we see one :-)

    Carven Direct Fit Muffler

    Sorry Magnaflow, Borla, and Flowmaster fans. Carven nailed it... best sounding mufflers/exhaust on the market.

    Ram Brand U.S Sales Up 25% In April

    Chevy said the Q1 beat by Ram was because the new Silverado's weren't fully online. Wagers on what Chevy's excuse will be when Ram beats them in Q2?

    What polisher do you use?

    Griots Garage. The 6 incher for the car and the 3 incher for the motorcycle.

    Is there anyway to increase payload capacity on a 1500?

    Let me get this out of the way: I agree moving to a bigger truck is the right way to increase payload. With that said, I'm still curious about the design philosophy and what sort of margin is built into payload ratings. The authoritative answer, of course, can only come from someone within the...

    Not impressed with my 8.4 Nav

    Try turning off auto-zoom. The built-in navigation is not bad at all once you figure it out and actually does some things better than Waze or GoogleMaps; like finding rest areas and some features of finding the next fuel stop. It does a perfectly fine job of finding routes for me, no issues...

    Is there anyway to increase payload capacity on a 1500?

    There's a new video on Youtube with a guy claiming to have the 2nd Tundra with a million miles on it. He's an oilfield hotshotter so I don't doubt his mileage, but anyway, he stated his payload is 1,300 lbs but has hauled 3,000 lbs on a couple of occasions. He's still driving the truck so I...
