    In the market to buy a towing hitch for a 2019 Ram Classic Hemi

    I realize I'm a little late here... I have a 19 Classic Tradesman HEMI Crew, 6' bed. Installed a Reese 44603 (Amazon says it wont fit: ignore it) and moved my kid from North Dallas area TX to Western Massachusetts hauling a packed to the roof 12 x 6 U Haul trailer (loaded nose-heavy). Used an...

    Time to replace factory shocks, dispute about Bilstein's

    New Englander here (Western Massachusetts). I have been running the Rain-X "Truck and SUV" on my '19 Classic and love them. So much so I put them on my wife's Traverse and the Econoline van at work. Tried the Trico Truck ones and those turds came apart after 9 months.

    Tire Day - The day I have been dreading...

    Western Masshole here. Put the LTXs on my 19 Classic last year (have 9,000 miles on them now) and they handled last winter just fine. Well mannered on the Pike at 72 mph, no more discernible noise than the SR-As they replaced.

    2019 vs. 2022 HK stereo

    I'm a dad, and have bought way too much pink kid's stuff in my day. When I saw HK, my first thought was Hello Kitty. Hope this coffee kicks in soon! Happy 4th Soapy!

    What did you drive before your Ram?

    75 Powerwagon was my first Mopar. 318 (added a 4bbl & vintage X heads) 4-spd (granny gear with probably 4 teeth on it!), full time 4wd and leaf springs on all corners. We put in velour captain's chairs from a conversion van. Man, that truck was fun! Had a kid, needed practicality, so a 2dr...

    How "fast" should you turn the shift dial?

    Reminded me... As a kid, I had an '84 Camaro Berlinetta. Backed out of the driveway one winter morning for work and got stuck in an icy rut full of water; no forward, no reverse. Put her in Drive, hopped out, and pushed the rear sideways to get it up and out of the rut. Neighbors must have...

    Wife Wants to Buy Me Running Boards For Christmas

    I've owned the "Raptor Series" 5" Stainless (on my 04 QC in the background) and was so impressed, I bought another set when I got my 19 Classic CC. I'm a little north of 350 and they're rated for 500. Three brackets/side and NO flex when I get on them. My truck got hit and the Raptors...

    How common is the 149" wheelbase?

    Love my '19 Classic CC w/ 6'4" bed. Strangely enough, the 4th gen QC's backseat has less usable legroom than my old '04 QC. When I was shopping in April, former rental SLT's had everything I wanted/needed: HEMI, CC, Longbed, 4x4, under 10k miles.

    New vehicle ADHD hit me again.

    Congrats on the truck! I picked mine up the end of April, former Enterprise rental, 2019 1500 Classic SLT, Crew, 6'4" box. 7500 miles on it. Of course I couldn't leave well enough alone. Took off the 17's and did Laramie Longhorn wheels in the matching Patriot Blue.

    Rotary Shifter

    I just bought a 1500 Classic, coming from an 04 1500 QC. I am still getting used to the knob, mostly with backing up. I'm so used to looking out the back window first, then column shifting by muscle memory. I'm getting better and no longer grabbing at the phantom shifter for park or drive. I...
