    30'+ TT Hauling in a 1500

    I pulled a 27' trailer (~30 actual feet) with a crew max tundra (1500 class pickup). I did not ever feel out of control, but I had a few white knuckle situations when trapped between two tractor trailers at 60mph...which has happened when I pulled the same trailer with my ram 2500. I'm in the...

    Expected Milage Question

    I tow a jeep on a flat bed trailer that weighs close to what your rv weighs, but the shape is slightly different. On the open interstate I get 13.5 mpg and through back road highways I get 12.5mpg. I only drive 65 mph unless I burst to pass someone. I have a 2500 ctd. On my first big travel...

    Fact Checking!!

    I do think jeepguy nailed the reason for the lower used value. The purchase price on my Ram was lower than any competitive vehicle, by several thousand dollars. Regarding a logical question of, "why was the purchase price lower"?...i believe ram does not have the loyalty of the other brands...

    Fact Checking!!

    I owned an '07 tundra 5.7 2wd crew max...awesome truck. Horrible gas mileage (I got 13.5mpg in mixed driving; 9 mpg towing a 7k load). Due to reliability, if I were getting a gasser I would get a Toyota again, but 4wd. They lack bells and whistles, but they are awesome when you only have to...

    Watch your speed...you are probably doing faster than what the truck reports.

    4wd LOCK: same as 4 HI, or different?

    http://media.chrysler.com/newsrelease.do;jsessionid=EC4F0B1C08A20AAF571D8F86B7ADEFBD?&id=14487 Search for 'transfer' and then read about the available options in the heavy duty lineup. I found it interesting they specify 4 high fit electronically and mechanically/manually engaged cases, but my...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Three loads to Goodwill, two loads to the dump.

    Warranty question.

    Get it in writing, preferably from Chrysler Group, not the dealership. Typically, if a warranty claim is denied because of a modification, they must prove that your modification caused the problem being denied on the warranty claim (I.e., a failure of a power seat would be difficult to associate...

    What Tonneau Covers are good?

    I had an "Access" cover from agricover on my old truck. It was the low profile version and was installed when I bought the truck. I had it for five years (85k miles) with zero problems, so when I bought my new truck I bought the same brand, but i upgraded to the Limited version. I don't think...

    Those are covers for the factory 5th wheel/gooseneck prep package. Nifty system...probably not worth the cost, but the truck had every other feature I wanted, so I took it.

    Clark's 2014 Ram 2500 4x4

    Thanks, guys. I am loving it! It is so much nicer for towing and daily diving than my previous truck.

    What's it worth?

    Are you trading it in or selling it privately? Carmax is where I would start when trying to find out the value of a vehicle immediately, then I would adjust their price for trade versus private sell.

    Clark's 2014 Ram 2500 4x4

    After being blinded by bling surrounding the center console (chrome bezel) a couple of times, I decided to stop that issue. Being blinded is a common issue with these trucks, so I found a couple of write-ups regarding how to fix it. After prying up the bezel with some nylon tools (went around...

    Clark's 2014 Ram 2500 4x4

    Since I don't like things sliding to the front of the bed, I added some corner storage things with a bar that goes across them to keep stuff from sliding. The bar can also be used to push and pull items from the front of the bed.

    I added a roll-up tonneau cover, like the one I used to have on my previous truck:

    New 2014 Ram 2500 owner

    I recently purchased a 2014 2500 Laramie 4x4. It is a daily driver, but I use it for towing a Jeep to offroad parks (rock crawling) and a travel trailer to camp grounds.
