    Talk me out of a TRX!

    I had a woman coworker come to me for advice on her and her husband buying a pickup specifically for towing an RV trailer they were buying. They wanted a 1/2-ton Chevrolet with the smaller gas V-8 in it. This was about three years ago, so I don't remember the exact price they were going to be...

    Talk me out of a TRX!

    Michael, I have done pretty much what you are considering doing. I had a 2018 Power Wagon, and I now have a 2022 TRX. I liked the Power Wagon, but the TRX is a much more refined vehicle. It is so luxurious inside, and is so quiet and smooth, and so powerful, that it is on a whole different...

    Power wagon

    I towed a 22' PJ Buggy Hauler auto transport open trailer with my 2018 Power Wagon, and it did fine. The trailer weighed about 3,000 lbs, with a 2,000 lb UTV on it. Hauling a load in the bed was another story. A few times I transported a Polaris Sportsman 1000 cc ATV in the back of the Power...

    What To Expect From The 2024 Ram Rampage

    What a difference a month makes. You posted this in November, but by December of the same year Ram had impressive incentives on Ram trucks. Between Christmas and New Years I bought a 2024 Ram 3500 Tradesman Long Bed Dually with the Cummins engine for $62,000

    New truck prices are insane

    I just bought a new tractor to do some work on my property. When the dealership dropped it off and handed me the papers I asked if the title would be mailed to me. They said there wasn't one. I asked about a manufacturers statement of origin, and they said there wasn't one of those either...

    New truck prices are insane

    I own a 2022 TRX 1500 Ram, Hydro Blue, pretty much every option like the one you saw at the dealership. MSRP for mine was $85K, which is what I paid. I thought that was ridiculously high at the time, but just two short years later you are saying prices have increased by almost $40K? How much...

    Let's See Your Off Road Lights

    Here is the lighting I have on my TRX. Two Baja Designs LP9s and two Baja Designs LP6s on the pre-runner bar, and a Baja Designs 20" OnX6 light bar behind the bumper where it can't be seen. I like the amber backlighting on the Baja Designs LP series lights. Here is what they look like when...

    New truck prices are insane

    I think it has reached the point where you simply cannot buy a truck if the manufacturer does not have pretty massive incentives in place. Pity the guy that has problems with the vehicle they have and needs to buy a new truck right then and is unable to wait for the size of incentives that are...

    Slowest-selling vehicle in America is the Dodge Ram 2500 truck

    No, initially it was the price difference between "building" a truck on the Ram website and "building" a truck on the Ford website and trying to keep them as close to the same specs as possible. I did go to the dealership a few days later though, and had him price out a Ram vs Ford, spec'd the...

    Slowest-selling vehicle in America is the Dodge Ram 2500 truck

    6 months ago I priced out a Ram 3500 vs a Ford F350, both with as close as possible the same specs, on their respective web sites. The Ram was $11,000 more than the Ford. I don't suppose that could have anything to do with it. Nah, couldn't be.

    Good Deals On New Rams Right Now

    Update ... I just hooked up the 17K lb. toy hauler to the new truck, so I can tow it 50 miles to have its once-a-year inspection done to maintain the "Forever Warranty". This toy hauler has a hefty pin weight when no toys are in the back, and the dually truck basically laughed at it. I still...

    Wheel to wheel running boards for 3500 long bed dually. What's out there?

    I am looking for a quality set of wheel to wheel running boards for a 3500 long bed dually. I am having a hard time finding anything that isn't just cab length, and I haven't found anything that flares out in the back for the dual wheels. Help point me to a set of running boards that will...

    Good Deals On New Rams Right Now

    The back story is a little more complicated. I have purchased at least 20 vehicles from this dealership in the last 30 years. And I purchased my '23 Ram 3500 from them at the peak of supply line shortages, when new trucks just were not available. So, I paid $71K for that truck, which included...

    Here it is. The truck I traded in looked the same except single rear wheels. It was so plain looking that we called it our Farm Truck. So, this one is Farm Truck 2.0.

    Good Deals On New Rams Right Now

    Ram has some good price incentives right now. If anyone is interested, $12K off MSRP is pretty common. Just tonight I traded my '23 Ram 3500 Tradesman 4x4 with 8' bed and single rear wheels for a '24 Ram 3500 Tradesman 4x4 with 8' bed and dual rear wheels. Both trucks were equipped the same...

    Opinions on this Power Wagon

    Speaking of used Power Wagon values, I just traded my 2018 Power Wagon yesterday for two vehicles (it takes a lot to replace a Power Wagon). I have a slide in camper for a short bed truck that I want to be able to use, and the camper has a wet weight of 3200 lbs. So I bought a 2019 Ram 3500...

    3M Paint Protection Film

    I had it installed on a Jeep, and after the deer hunt had numerous deep grooves in the film in some of the most exposed areas, like on the a-pillar. After removing the film the paint underneath was in perfect condition. It saved the Jeep from countless brush scratches.

    Considering switching to new 2019 Power Wagon from Ford Raptor

    Ride quality on the Power Wagon is excellent, even with stock suspension. Just add 37" tires, and when off road air down to 25 psi. I do this pretty much every weekend. Just last weekend my wife went with me on an off road trip in the truck. I was commenting on how well I thought the Power...

    Considering switching to new 2019 Power Wagon from Ford Raptor

    I bought a 2018 Ford Super Duty. Nice truck, tows great, rides ok, but rattled badly in the cab. I ended up taking it in to the service department twice with complaints of rattles. The service manager rode with me and agreed it had several rattles. They tried to fix it twice, but were not...

    Where would you go from here?

    Something else to consider if you are going to be 4-wheeling in Idaho, ... a chainsaw. I live in Utah, right next door to Idaho, and ATVs/UTVs have pretty much taken over for off road use. And because of this, the trails keep getting more and more narrow, and it can be tough to get a full size...

    Where would you go from here?

    I'm running 37s with my 2018, with stock gearing. You absolutely do not need to re-gear this truck to run 37s. I've run 37s on several different vehicles, and some of them definitely needed re-geared. The lowest re-gear I did was 5.38:1 on a Jeep JK. Larger tires will always negatively...
