    North NJ Tech?

    Can anyone recommend a good tech in Northern New Jersey for general maintenance? Would really like to get away from the dealerships if I can. 2016 RAM 1500 QC, 3.6 V6, 3.55, 4x4.

    2017 v6 pentastar 1500 towing 5300lbs

    As a Pentastar owner, I’m subscribing to this thread. FWIW, I used to own a 3800lb travel trailer and it towed fine and never had any heat related issues. I tow at 60mph and would get 10-11 mpg based on terrain. I chose to purchase a light trailer to leave some capacity for bringing a...

    Did your extended warranty pay off?

    Agreed. Like you, I bought my truck, tow a travel trailer and plan on keeping it a long time (more than ten years) and expect I’ll get back, at some point, what I paid for the warranty although I don’t expect that to be anytime soon. We also wanted it for the protection against issues when...

    2019 Limited 20” or 22” wheels thoughts

    I got my answer today. Drove a Big Horn Ed with 20" wheels. A noticeable difference for sure. Definitely more compliant than the 22's and would say it splits the difference between my 2016 with 20" wheels and the 2020 with 22's I drove yesterday. Firmer than my '16 not as firm as 2020 with 22's...

    2019 Limited 20” or 22” wheels thoughts

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but I thought it was pertinent to add to this one instead of starting a new one. A little background, I own a 2016 1500 QC, Big Horn, V6 Pentastar, 3.55, 20" wheels. Of course, after I purchased the truck my wife got the brilliant idea of getting back into RV...

    Ecodiesel 2500?

    Great discussion, folks. Thanks to everyone chiming in.

    Ecodiesel 2500?

    A properly geared 2500 with an ED may not win any drag races but it’s highly unlikely it would be unsafe and would have significantly more towing capacity than 5K. At 480 ft. Lbs. of torque it’s already significantly stronger than a Hemi. 9-10k tow capacity with a 9k GVWR would be a far safer...

    Ecodiesel 2500?

    Agreed. I guess that was kinda my point with the question. I don’t need 10k GVW or 14k towing capacity but would love the comfort of the extra weight and capacity of a 2500 with the fuel mileage of a Cummins at half the cost. You could probably run a set of 4.10 or even 4.30 and still get very...

    Ecodiesel 2500?

    A search didn't turn up a thread on this. If there is one, can someone please direct me to it? Thank you I'm curious, is there a legitimate reason -other than it would eat into 6.4 sales- why RAM doesn't put the 3.0 V6 Ecodiesel in a 2500? It certainly has enough torque at 480lb ft and would be...

    Rambox swap

    Excellent thread. Thank you for the detailed write up.

    Build and Price RAMBox option?

    This is very interesting. Didn’t even know this was a possibility. Did you do the swap yourself or did you have it done? And is it a straight swap or are modifications required?

    Build and Price RAMBox option?

    Thank you very much. This is excellent information. I didn’t know they were still using the old bed in the 2500.

    Build and Price RAMBox option?

    The 2500 with the 6ft bed has the RamBox option.

    Build and Price RAMBox option?

    Yes, I have. For my purposes, they would be a great fit. I don't haul a lot of material that I would need all the bed space and the amount of bed space with the RamBox option leaves me plenty of room to load a street bike when I travel and store straps and other things when I'm not hauling a...

    Build and Price RAMBox option?

    I think I may have answered my own question. Doesn't look like it's an option with the 6'4" bed. 5'7" only. I haven't spoken to a dealer yet, does anyone know if that's the case? No RAMBOX on 6'4" bed?

    Build and Price RAMBox option?

    I searched the forums and couldn't find anything. Am I missing something or is the RAMBox option not available using the Build and Price tool on the RAM website?

    Trying to figure out which discounts off of MSRP I get.

    Based on the research I did when I bought my 2016, I took 25% off MSRP asked the dealer to match it. Let them do all the work of figuring out all the rebates. It worked.

    V6 Ram owners what is your MPG??

    Can't stop thinking of my old Ram Truck

    The Pentastar is a phenomenal option and will get good mileage. If you’re not towing and gas mileage is key definitely find one with the 3.21 gear set. I have a ‘16 quad cab, V6, Big Horn, 4x4 with 3.55 gears and get 17-19 around town and 20-22 on the highway depending on speed and how hard I...

    End of MaxCare lifetime warranty

    I’m not one who buys into the theory stopping this plan will dramatically hurt sales. In fact, I think it will have a marginal effect, at best. That said, I probably would have bought another F150 if it weren’t for the superior ride and available Lifetime warranty. I think I’m in the minority...
