What did you do to your Ram today???

2,200 miles in 3 days on the EcoDiesel. Crossed 70,000 miles on the 2021. I picked up a new car in Indianapolis (I'm in central NH). 2002 BMW 330 Ci in Steel Blue Metallic with just 2 previous owners and 30,000 miles on the odometer. All original, dealer maintained and garage kept and just 1100 miles a year on average of driving.

I averaged 27 MPG on my way out to Indianapolis.
I averaged 19.5 MPG hauling the trailer + car along with a spare set of M3 wheels & tires (about 4,500 pounds of hauling)

Left NH at 3PM, got to Indianapolis at 8AM. On the road again by 11AM and rolled into NH at 10AM on the 3rd day. 30 hours of driving total over 2.75 days. RAM didn't skip a beat and I continue to be amazed by how awesome the air suspension is at leveling the back end.

Love this truck, it's just so awesome:

You’re a brave man to be eating White Castle sliders on a rode trip 😆
 
Got it aligned yesterday - Driving better but the shop didn't center up the steering wheel so back to the shop I go 😡

That is an exquisite specimen!! I worked at BMW before I had medical issues. It would be very hard to find another one that clean anywhere on earth.
BMW is what started my love for working on cars. I have a long list of them in my past. Mainly M and 7 series.
 
Maybe qualifies more as a "with" than a "to."

Dropped it off for ceramic coating and interior detail, plus tint the rear window darker and tint the front side windows to match the rear side windows. Pics next week.

The ceramic is due to aphid crap getting on the truck, it is hard to wash off. Hopefully ceramic makes cleaning easier. Need to pay down my credit card, this is going to be an expensive month.
 
That fits really good. What is a bed mat needed for if it's bedlined? Honest question.
Good question. Have you ever felt a spray in bedliner? It's like coarse sandpaper. Anything you put in there like hard suitcases, gun case, furniture, a kayak etc it will scuff and scratch the hell out of it. The bedliner protects the truck, the mat protects my stuff.

Also the mat is non skid, so things like coolers, toolboxes and such dont slide around.

If your bed liner feels.like sandpaper, then they added grit to it. Mine does not feel like sand paper. But, it also doesn't keep things from sliding around. That would be the main purpose of a bed mat for me. But I have a BedRug in mine.
