    Now I Love it.......

    Like many on the forum I was barely luke warm to the new RAM design, but now that I've seen them on the road my 4th gen looks...........well, old. I blame all of you here as well for posting beautiful pics of your 5th gen RAM trucks and I think it's only fair you help with payments if my dealer...

    Love how this truck tows!

    One year old this month- 2017 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4, 3.92, 5.7 hemi, limited slip. Smooth and stable on the highway, only rub is the 10-11mpg. We tow a Riverside Retro 189R listed at 3850 dry, but loaded up we have to be closer to 4500. My wife can pack!

    2019 RAM in some good company........best interiors listing

    The new Ram is listed in autoblog's favorite interiors list. Only truck there amongst Lexus, Audi, MB. Pretty impressive. https://www.autoblog.com/photos/autoblogs-favorite-car-interiors/#slide-7466080

    This looks rather promising; Helltruck......lookout Raptor!

    Looks like the whine of the supercharger will be heard under the hood of the new RAM TRX. https://www.autoblog.com/2018/08/20/ram-1500-trx-hellcat-powered-prototype-spied-testing-in-arizona/#slide-7401159

    Finally saw a 2019 Limited in person ....

    Stopped by my Ram dealer and they had a black Limited on the floor. Exterior nice, but Holy Mercedes Benz of interiors! I don't think there was one piece of hard plastic anywhere, and the quality of the interior was stunning; from the materials used, to the fit and finish. Wow. This opinion...

    Ram ranks highest ranking American brand in loyalty

    This is pretty amazing in that Ram follows Toyota, Subaru and Honda in owner loyalty ratings at #4 with 54% in repeat buyers. Also it’s the highest ranking American vehicle. Chevy came next, but did It across the entire lineup/brand, which is impressive. FCA didn’t do so well overall, but at...

    Observations from a 2WD Sport to a 4WD Laramie after 2,000 miles.

    Traded my 2015 Sport 2WD for a new 2017 Laramie 4WD and although I didn’t expect too much difference, other than being able to back our trailer up gravel incline, I was more than surprised by the way it towed our 3800 (before loading) pound trailer on our recent 1200 mile camping trip. It tracks...

    How did you break in your new RAM?

    Just curious. Mine had 210 local miles on it when I bought it and I had to drive 230 miles home. Had a hard time keeping it at 55 on the drive back.......had to hit freeway speeds of around 60-65 with occasional bursts up to 70. Hope I didn't break anything.

    I jumped.....and pulled the trigger!!

    First off, thanks for all the advice here......some pretty funny I might add, and all of it good regarding my hunt for a 4x4 Laramie. About wore my ass out looking. I tried locally, but once again the run around. Atlanta came through with the closest equipment and best price. Rebates will change...

    Is Factory Air Suspension a Good Idea?

    I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on a 2017 Laramie 4X4. I have 3 decent prospects, and the one closest to me has the Ram Boxes and the Factory Air Suspension setup. Since I'm going to tow with a Weight Distribution Hitch, I'm wondering if having this air setup is a good idea or not...

    About to jump.........need your opinion!!

    Hey all......I posted previously ("Got the itch....stop me) and appreciate the advice. OK, now I need your help! I've found exactly the 2017 Laramie I want....loaded out 4X4, even has CD player which I occasionally use. List is $56,085 and the dealer is hungry to sell 4 in stock. He has it at...

    Got the itch.......stop me.

    I've got a perfectly good 2015 Sport with everything except a sunroof. Only 25K miles and it's been perfect, except for the fact I think I could use a 4WD. (That damn new truck itch) As a stop gap I purchased some Hankook Dynapro ATM's today in the hopes they'll help with traction backing up my...

    Do you notice a difference in Highway ride...2WD vs 4WD?

    I ask this because I see a 4WD Ram in my future. I have to back a new and larger trailer up our gravel hill and the '15 2WD is a balancing act. So, I took a 2018 Longhorn 4WD out for a test drive. I swear, it rides better-tighter and more planted (no air bags) and tracks much better than I...

    Consumer Reports "Experts" ........seriously?

    While browsing my mom's past issues of CR, my opinion was once again reaffirmed as for my not buying their mag rag. Their October 17 issue rates Nav/infotainment systems in vehicles. Despite our 8.4 rating in the top 3 (Over some very prestigious brands), they gave it a knock for "Must use touch...

    What are your thoughts on the 2018 Sport?

    Saw this on Autoblog. The Ram grille in body color on the Sport looks better than I thought it would. Otherwise not much in changes this coming year. Looks like 2019 models will have even more cab space...

    Now I know Consumer Reports is full of ****

    I read a lot of forums and I see more happy truck owners here than practically anywhere else. So how does RAM come in as the worst manufacturer on Consumer Reports? Least Reliable Car Companies in America

    TSB for Center Console ??

    I read on here a while back that there was a TSB for an improperly tightened bracket for the center console on 2015 RAMs. Not all, but just certain dates. Did multiple searches and came up with nothing. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Love this truck. Hate this FOB !

    Dear FCA, Love my truck. Love my keyless entry. Hate my fob. The panic/alarm button is so easy to set off in your pocket with just the slightest pressure. Perhaps recessing the button a bit on the next model year? Thank you FCA, your loyal MOPAR fan.

    Added some graphics..........

    Saw some nice graphics postings here and decided to add a stripe. I went with a RAM head logo. Opinions welcome. Didn't completely de-badge it just dumped the "1500".

    My Dealer Came Through....

    Happy to say that my local dealer came through with a replacement leather seat bottom cover for my Sport. I bring it in next week. It began to "crinkle" about 3 months ago and I sent pictures to my service advisor at Columbia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (TN), who forwarded the warranty request to...

    Anyone have cluster issues?

    I have a 2015 Sport with 9,000 miles and today I noticed that the upper left and lower left programmable gauges have failed. Anyone have this problem? Whatever I put in those windows reads wrong. Temps read all the way hot and oil interval says "change" but the center cluster indicates all temps...

    The Black on White Theme Continues !!

    Dealer must be trying to kill me!

    Pulled my hitch ball assembly out of the receiver today and noticed that the receiver was loose! Had the dealer install it but the yo-yo mechanic didn't secure the 2 underside bolts or the bolt through the bumper. Tightened everything and painted the bolts to help prevent the nut backing off...

    My 3.92 on a 2400 mile trip: Results

    With all the gear ratio discussions I was curious to see how the "White whale" would do on a road trip, especially since I tach 1950 rpm @ 70 with the 3.92's. Had headwinds going up and did some 75+ which ate the gas, but made up for it doing 45-55 through towns and the mountains. Those...
