Please keep us update on performance and MPG!!!

Well MPG should be going down in the short term because I'm hitting the throttle harder because it's more fun. PC claims it doesn't have any impact on MPG and that makes sense because they are just remapping your input signal.

I've been watching this item closely as I want to purchase one. Every video or review ive seen/read says you do gain some mpg back... hoping its true.

I did just notice that under 40-50% throttle when accelerating it holds the gears longer than it did stock which makes sense. The tranny program is seeing more throttle input. Makes it drive more like it's in tow/haul mode. Normally that seems like a good thing although you'll probably get lower MPG while accelerating. I didn't care for the rapid gear changes previously. Seemed like they were on a timer more than load-based, like "change gears every second."

Another item I'm still on the fence about is what mode to use with my 3.92. City +2 seems a little too jackrabbit when eTorque has just restarted it so I'm dialing back down a bit. I can see this being even more beneficial on a 3.21 setup.

I just got mine wrapped with Xpel Ultimate (10yr warranty). No pics necessary because you can hardly tell. Had a guy come to my work and to it in the heated garage. He quoted me $640 including tax for partial hood, partial fenders, door edges, full bumper (painted bumpers), headlights/fog lights.
Same guy that did my Dad's Tesla so I got to see his work first.

I picked up a Bighorn 2 1/2 weeks ago from dealer stock. Silver, level 2 equipment, sport appearance package, chrome wheels, 3.92 rear.

I got the windows tinted with ceramic. My son installed an oil catch can and a Retrax One tonneau cover. I got a Uniden R3 radar for it, just received the Blend Mount and mirror tap, will install this weekend. Also went to dealer today and got the Mopar all weather mats, fit great. While there I pulled the trigger on a console vault, again, this weekend.

Question: I have the Mopar drop in bed liner, but I really want a BedRug... is it worth it?

I really love my BedRug. I've had one in my Ridgeline years ago and loved that one to. I definitely think they are worth it. Provides a cushioned base for crawling around in the bed, hauling furniture or other items, plus hauling dirt, rocks, etc. won't hurt it.

That patriot blue really is my favorite color on any car or truck right now, wish I got to see it in person before I got mine.

Thank you, It is a great color and from what I seen on here they aren’t allowing any more patriot blue orders so I got mine just in time.

Several updates (not sure which I mentioned before):
  • Flowmaster muffler -- sounds great!
  • Tinted front windows
  • 3rd Brake light LEDs
  • Interior dome & map lights changed to LEDs (still shocked these were not already LED)
  • LineX Bedliner
  • Kobalt Toolbox
  • RAM Bed Extender (to hold groceries, they slide around to much in the back seat since there is no more transmission hump - LOL).
  • Debadged "RAM" off the doors
Still wanting some other changes, hope some parts get released after SEMA. Waiting on: 2" Lowering kit, 5" Exhaust Tips. And shopping around for some fender flares still not sure I want flat black or painted to match.

Removed the awful 4x4 stickers and longhorn badges off the sides of the truck. Full detail to get ready for her first road trip (pretty sure my wife thinks I'm crazy). Used Chemical Guys leather conditioner for the first time, and I really like it. It doesn't leave the slippery oily look wipes do. Also installed the Moe's catch can. Can't wait for everything else to get here.

Have had two retrax covers and two bed rugs two different trucks. Both are awesome!

Awesome. I have an OEM drop in bed liner. I knew I would not be happy until i got a Bed Rug... literally just ordered a full rug and same Undercover swing cases. Yours looks great with factory spray.
