    Opinions on grille

    if you go with chrome you gotta love chrome. personally, I love chrome so I love having chromed out grilles, but it isn't for everyone. U have to make sure you like chrome enough to have that much of it on your truck

    thank you so much. I know ram introduced air suspension with their 5th gens. I dream to own a 5th gen but a used 2020 big horn CCSB 4x4 with 180k miles is 25,000$. probably going to wait to get a 5th gen and look at 4th gens. I dont want to lift it, its just that ive always thought that the...

    help with Suspension?

    NEED ADVICE - About to Buy My Sweetie a Brand New 2021 RAM 1500 Laramie

    I’ll keep this short and sweet. 5.7 hemi etorque. If you can afford it it’s a great add on. Both 5.7s are great though. Correct me if I’m wrong but 22s don’t come on Laramie. They come on limited but 20 on Laramie. I love the Laramie 20 wheels and I’ve heard it actually feels better driving...

    Pre 2021 1500’s- how do they compare?

    Hi. Great purchase of a truck. I’ve had the fortune to drive both a 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn short bed 4x4 and a 2017 Ram 1500 Big Horn 4x4. The 2021 jusr rides so much smoother. It may be the coil springs but it’s smoother, quieter, it feels less heavy and big, and honeslty ice loved driving it...

    Thinking of buying 1500 laramie

    Great build. 5.7 HEMI is a very reliable engine, arguably up there with some of the most reliable American made engines. It’s all about how you take care of the engine. Take care well, and you’ll pass 200,00 miles and not have many issues. Treat it like dog crap and it’ll blow at 100,000 if ur...

    HELP - Purchasing a Ram and I need input

    Whats an appropriate amount of miles for a used truck to have? Ive gotten different advice from different people, and basically, is there a normal amount of miles for a truck under 25K? is there a "hard stop" amount of miles I should look for when purchasing a truck for that much?

    Need Help Choosing!

    i Surprisingly, I would go with 2. you do get the 8.4 inch plus the cluster and its 4x4. that will help more than you think. at the end of the day if you spend a lot of time in the cab you'll want the 8.4 Uconnect. thats what I would do, both trucks sound great!

    HELP - Purchasing a Ram and I need input

    I have a backup vehicle so im considering. its a dark blue loaded Laramie which apparently has blind spot which is why I asked about blind spot. I am going to go check right now if the tranny/engine has been worked on, it would be nice to know that the truck has some level of work done so it...

    HELP - Purchasing a Ram and I need input

    that helps so much. Thank you. I need to talk to him as honestly blind spot seems important, but If I learn how to avoid big blind spots it would be a lifesaver. I have to find Wadestar blind spot mirrors. this really helps thank you so much
