Nice truck! I came from a little 100 horsepower Mazda 2 and now have pretty close to what you have. No comparison in speed and acceleration. That little Mazda was fun as hell in the corners though.

nothing i've ever seen before, don't think it's part of the truck. anything on the other side of it?

Nothing, just a slot almost like it slides into something like a key. Piece that broke off makes it look more like a key. Maybe just some the PO forgot was in there.

What is the Alpine Stereo? That's the second time someone has mentioned that.

Alpine sound system is an upgrade with a 506 watt system with 7 speakers. I believe it also has the HD radio and XM automatically with the package as well. Doesn't sound horrible for a stock setup but isn't great for those audio heads.

The build quality of our 2015 kia sorento is night and day better than our 2014 ram. The kia has been trouble free where the ram has been in 3 times in 5000 miles, not to mention all the rattles the ram has. Not saying one is better than the other, but kia is definitely not the junk it was in the 90s anymore

Looks good!

You are not worried about the 20% tint in Texas? Around where I am a vehicle will fail state inspection with anything less that 25%.

Got the inspection and plates today, thankfully no issues with the tint. Phew.

Beyond the normal gas, oil, and tires I didn't have any problems with that car. Was having some random electric things happen like cruise control randomly shutting off, lights on the dash turn on/off, plus hard starts on any day below 40.
