    Best all terrain tire for every day driving.

    lots of factors and parameters in tire performance and all of us want AT tires to excel at everything, i sure do. we are spoiled for selection and tire tech is better than ever. seems in the AT category there are tires that tilt towards better off road performance and durability (Toyo Open...

    Calling all olive green

    i was totally hot for this colour when i custom ordered mine early in 21. 6 months later they told me it was discontinued and unavailable. i was bummed. i now have my Ram and it's awesome, and i do like the patriot blue, but i would much rather have had the olive still. i bet that colour will...

    Wrangler DuraTrac is the worst tire I've ever driven on in rain

    if you get the chance, a new tire to consider reviewing would be the Nokian Outpost AT. 3peak rated, huge variety of sizes. unfortunately for Nokian, they chose to build them in Russia, and have now closed that plant, and are building a new one in the US (Tennessee i think) and another in...

    Largest tires on Stock Rebel suspension and wheels

    all makes sense. maybe a bit different for me, my vehicle is actually the 1500 with ORG, which is very similar to the Rebel in most ways, but stock tire size was LT275/65/18. i run Sumitomo Encounters at 70 profile. the next size up is your Cooper's. they would fit my truck for sure. thanks for...

    Largest tires on Stock Rebel suspension and wheels

    curious as to further experience with this tire size. in theory, you should have a smoother ride off paved roads, slower acceleration, longer braking, etc. do you notice any of these pros and cons from stock? looks like LT285/75/18 is an uncommon tire size when doing my research....

    The apparently all too common water leak

    any news yet on how this is going? did they find the leak and fix it?

    Great truck. Crap infotainment system.

    i call them once a month or so to ask if anyone knows anything about this system and if a fix is going to happen. shortly after i got the truck they said 'Ram knows, a fix is coming', but since that time, nope, haven't heard anything, no clue, etc. the mystery remains.

    Great truck. Crap infotainment system.

    this system makes me insane. presets erased, or swapped, or dropped, mixed almost daily. sometimes the volume button doesn't work. sometimes it works on the dash, but not the steering wheel. sometimes the scan button on the wheel doesn't work. when it works well, it's great. but it keeps me...

    airing down question

    next weekend i'll be driving a known back road that i'll want to lower my tire pressure by 10 psi for. i haven't done this yet on my new truck. do alarm bells go off or something? does the truck get angry when you go outside a certain range? i love having the tire pressures displayed in real...

    Why aren't there a lot of canopies on trucks out there?

    my bike (xl) i lay down right in the box, pull to one side. second bike, front wheel off, slide it down the side and secure it to the side of the cap with a bungy cord. works well most the time. if i were to be packing the back with bikes and lots of gear for a trip, or going on long rough road...

    Why aren't there a lot of canopies on trucks out there?

    here's my Leer on 6 4 box. i need one for sure as i like the dry (ish) storage, lockable space for bikes n gear and cartopping for canoes n kayaks. i have a Seasucker suction cup set up for boats. i'll sleep back there on rare occasion but need to set it up for doing so yet. one PITA is that...

    Quiet A/T tire?

    i think there's a LOT of really good tires out there. some are unheard of others dominate, region to region. check this out for some seriously highfalutin tire test reading! https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=282

    Quiet A/T tire?

    i've got Sumitomo Encounter AT's on my truck and love them. recent Tirerack testing just came out. turns out they have exceptional wet weather performance, which is ideal for the climate where i live. as AT tires go from mild to wild, i would put them pretty much square in the middle. KO2's are...

    understanding Mopar

    i thought i understood that Mopar was an official Chrysler/Stellantis/whatever, factory aftermarket, factory approved parts supplier. in Canada when you google Mopar there are any number of sites that come up that are Mopar sites. not 1 or 2, many. moparcanada, moparpartscanada...

    first Ram, impressions after a 1000 miles

    2 things i 'm not impressed with on my truck. first is the grab handles for front passengers. it's strange to me that no one on the Ram design team, or any test drivers, focus groups, etc, would have said, 'hey, everything else in this truck looks and feels great to touch, except for the grab...
