Talk me out of a TRX!
I had a woman coworker come to me for advice on her and her husband buying a pickup specifically for towing an RV trailer they were buying. They wanted a 1/2-ton Chevrolet with the smaller gas V-8 in it. This was about three years ago, so I don't remember the exact price they were going to be...- 3TV

Talk me out of a TRX!
Michael, I have done pretty much what you are considering doing. I had a 2018 Power Wagon, and I now have a 2022 TRX. I liked the Power Wagon, but the TRX is a much more refined vehicle. It is so luxurious inside, and is so quiet and smooth, and so powerful, that it is on a whole different...- 3TV

Power wagon
I towed a 22' PJ Buggy Hauler auto transport open trailer with my 2018 Power Wagon, and it did fine. The trailer weighed about 3,000 lbs, with a 2,000 lb UTV on it. Hauling a load in the bed was another story. A few times I transported a Polaris Sportsman 1000 cc ATV in the back of the Power...- 3TV

What To Expect From The 2024 Ram Rampage
What a difference a month makes. You posted this in November, but by December of the same year Ram had impressive incentives on Ram trucks. Between Christmas and New Years I bought a 2024 Ram 3500 Tradesman Long Bed Dually with the Cummins engine for $62,000- 3TV

New truck prices are insane
I just bought a new tractor to do some work on my property. When the dealership dropped it off and handed me the papers I asked if the title would be mailed to me. They said there wasn't one. I asked about a manufacturers statement of origin, and they said there wasn't one of those either...- 3TV

New truck prices are insane
I own a 2022 TRX 1500 Ram, Hydro Blue, pretty much every option like the one you saw at the dealership. MSRP for mine was $85K, which is what I paid. I thought that was ridiculously high at the time, but just two short years later you are saying prices have increased by almost $40K? How much...- 3TV

Let's See Your Off Road Lights
Here is the lighting I have on my TRX. Two Baja Designs LP9s and two Baja Designs LP6s on the pre-runner bar, and a Baja Designs 20" OnX6 light bar behind the bumper where it can't be seen. I like the amber backlighting on the Baja Designs LP series lights. Here is what they look like when... -
New truck prices are insane
I think it has reached the point where you simply cannot buy a truck if the manufacturer does not have pretty massive incentives in place. Pity the guy that has problems with the vehicle they have and needs to buy a new truck right then and is unable to wait for the size of incentives that are...- 3TV

Slowest-selling vehicle in America is the Dodge Ram 2500 truck
No, initially it was the price difference between "building" a truck on the Ram website and "building" a truck on the Ford website and trying to keep them as close to the same specs as possible. I did go to the dealership a few days later though, and had him price out a Ram vs Ford, spec'd the...- 3TV

Slowest-selling vehicle in America is the Dodge Ram 2500 truck
6 months ago I priced out a Ram 3500 vs a Ford F350, both with as close as possible the same specs, on their respective web sites. The Ram was $11,000 more than the Ford. I don't suppose that could have anything to do with it. Nah, couldn't be.- 3TV

Good Deals On New Rams Right Now
Update ... I just hooked up the 17K lb. toy hauler to the new truck, so I can tow it 50 miles to have its once-a-year inspection done to maintain the "Forever Warranty". This toy hauler has a hefty pin weight when no toys are in the back, and the dually truck basically laughed at it. I still...- 3TV

Wheel to wheel running boards for 3500 long bed dually. What's out there?
I am looking for a quality set of wheel to wheel running boards for a 3500 long bed dually. I am having a hard time finding anything that isn't just cab length, and I haven't found anything that flares out in the back for the dual wheels. Help point me to a set of running boards that will... -

Good Deals On New Rams Right Now
The back story is a little more complicated. I have purchased at least 20 vehicles from this dealership in the last 30 years. And I purchased my '23 Ram 3500 from them at the peak of supply line shortages, when new trucks just were not available. So, I paid $71K for that truck, which included...- 3TV
