    Help with tire size

    Towed a 10k enclosed trailer with the stock Bridgestones on my Laramie w/ 3.92 gears yesterday. Did perfectly fine. No need to go to E rated tires imo, but if you're going to change them from stock anyways, it wouldn't hurt to go to E load range.

    Gas mileage v8 without Etorque..... 4wd

    Towed 350 miles through Kentucky and Ohio yesterday. 8.5 mpg going 65 mph most of the way. This is with a 28’ enclosed trailer weighing about 10,000 lb. Not quite what I was hoping for. Back at 16.3 during my commute this morning.

    Gas mileage v8 without Etorque..... 4wd

    Hit 1000 miles on Thursday, been averaging right at 16 the whole time. Most of my commute is highway, with a bit of traffic. On a trip this weekend and averaged 18.6 after resetting the trip and driving 300 miles. Had cruise at 75 most of the trip. 3.92 gears. First towing trip on the way...

    2019 Limited Discussion

    The bearings come as a knuckle + wheel hub w/bearings assembly I believe, I don't have the part number handy. In my opinion, I probably wouldn't worry about it for normal on-road driving.

    That is true, all vehicles equipped with 22s from the factory have larger front wheel bearings.

    Ram 1500 orders - Tell Us About Yours!

    Picked up my truck today! This thing is awesome. So glad I went with the Patriot blue, it looks amazing in the sun. Already installed the Lomax tonneau cover, and I ordered an Equalizer hitch that I will be putting together/using next month!

    Please post your Tire and Loading sticker

    1543 on my Laramie, details in signature. A bit lower than I was hoping far but not too bad.

    Ram 1500 orders - Tell Us About Yours!

    Just got the call that my truck is at the dealer! I'm going to wait until Saturday to pick it up, though, want to give myself plenty of time to go over it all in detail, and I won't be able to get out of work early this week. Killing me to wait the rest of the week, but I think it's the best...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Called the incentives number, and the listed incentives on the website aren't matching what they're saying is available. GLCKA not applicable on my truck, even though the website says it should be $1750. Dealer didn't show it either when I was in last week. This is frustrating.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Anybody purchased a vehicle in the Great Lakes BC in the last few days? Ram's website is showing "Great Lakes 2019 Bonus Cash GLCKA" for $1750, but the dealer was unable to find it anywhere. The rest of the incentives match up. I've got them looking into it to see if they can figure out why it's...

    Useless Trivia

    They're using metric horsepower, aka PS, instead of imperial horsepower. 395 hp = 400 PS. I'm glad we don't have those prices over here!

    Ram 1500 orders - Tell Us About Yours!

    That's a good point, definitely no reason not to get some extra headroom. It will be a better daily driver than a 2500 in my opinion, although the new heavy dutys are definitely a step forward in that direction. It's definitely pushing it for a 1500, but after seeing what they go through to...

    Tire Pressure

    Vehicles are shipped from the assembly plant with the tires at (or close to) the max sidewall pressure, not the placard pressure, to reduce flat spotting when vehicles sit in the same spot on the lot for weeks on end. More of an issue under hot sun during the summer. The dealer is supposed to...

    Ram 1500 orders - Tell Us About Yours!

    I’ll be pulling a 28’ aluminum enclosed racecar trailer, which is almost 10k lb loaded with car + golf cart + spares. A HD would be better for towing that much, but this will be my daily driver and will only pull the trailer on 5-6 trips a year. I’m thinking of ordering the 12k Equalizer hitch.

    Ram 1500 orders - Tell Us About Yours!

    Placed the order with Ledell, talked with Eric when I was in there on Friday as well. I got to check out a Patriot Blue Big Horn Sport they had today. Awesome color, I'm excited for it! Thanks again for the recommendation, they have treated me very well over there so far!

    Ok, thanks, keep me posted. I am going to order custom, nothing around that’s exactly what I want, if that makes a difference
