    Got my new Gen5 Ram Longhorn-love it now-but wrong color!

    Id have wanted some compensation at the very least if I was going to eat the wrong color. Sorry to hear about the trouble.

    Does it bother you when people call your RAM a Dodge?

    Maybe because I just came over to the brand but I've always thought of them as Dodge Rams. Also on alot of aftermarket part sites I have to look for Dodge vs Ram. Doesnt bother me obviously.

    New to Truck learn me some 4x4 knowledge

    Please just remember its not magic. I cant tell you how many people we dig out of snow banks who are shocked they crashed with 4wd. It just means all your tires spin as you go into a wall. Dont get me wrong its a big advantage but some people go nuts with 4wd as their copilot.

    Mopar lifetime warranty question

    The warranty was a big selling point for me. It will be interesting to see what happens from here but I'm glad I grabbed mine.

    Mopar lifetime warranty question

    My guess would be long term it sucks for a company to have to pay out to pop a new tranny in a truck 20 years out of factory warranty. Also theres no direct competition as no other brand I'm aware of offers a similar warranty. Just my thoughts on a possible why. If its true then really only FCA...

    Mopar lifetime warranty question

    I put it up on 5th gen rams and there was atleast one guy in KZ who said he could purchase with his VIN though he hadnt taken delivery. Sounds like it depends on where you are in the process. Theres also some debate over there as to if this is actually going to happen but apparently some people...

    Mopar lifetime warranty question

    So I just got an email from Zeigler saying no more lifetime warranties after the end of this month. If your on the fence I'd look into it.

    Anybody Else Get the Latest Ram Survey?

    I got about halfway through and it locked up on me. Haven't reattempted. Shame, I had some good feedback for them.

    Mopar lifetime warranty question

    For all the coverage concerns I'd ask directly when purchasing the warranty. I dont have etorque so I didnt ask at purchase time but I'd ask in an email so you have something for down the road troubles. I certainly hope its covered as it seems like an expensive system.

    Mopar lifetime warranty question

    Yeah it's funny I was ready to talk to the dealer and mine didn't even acknowledge the lifetime warranty. I figured why bother and got mine aftermarket. My dealer was great for everything else though so it's a minor gripe.

    Best speed for mpg

    I found that I can sit around 20-23 in the flat as long as there was no headwind. In a headwind I was getting about 16. It didnt seem to matter as far as speed as long as whatever speed I was going kept my revs low. Hope that makes sense. Eco kicked in mostly in long flats or obviously downhill.

    Quad cab vs crew cab

    How long do you want the bed? I have a crew and a 6'4 bed and it looks pretty good. Actually due to the size of the cab the bed looks short to me.

    New Guy Considering a new Ram....Advice?

    Oh and I have a very similar truck to what your looking for except the color and I went with 3.21 gears. It's great. Pano roof makes me happy and I open it all the time. The Crew cab long 6'4 bed works as long as your ok with parking in the back and walking in most lots. Check the bed length...

    New Guy Considering a new Ram....Advice?

    I'd take a hard look at a factory order. It's the route I went and I have no regrets with it especially if you don't like all the add on frills and want something specific. I had great success by finding a volume dealer and working with them. A few calls but mostly email. I then took their...

    Best speed for mpg

    Sweet I'll report back when we get back from the trip. I'm running 3.21 but I have the off road PKG so no active air dam. Plenty of mountains so that might effect it too but it's about 3k mi so there should be some flats in there somewhere.

    What is your “MOST” expensive add in to your 5th gen so far ?

    Does the lifetime max care warranty count? If not then probably LineX at $450.

    Abysmal fuel economy

    I know my mpg has improved as I "break it in" with more mileage. I started around there about 13-14 and currently I'm sitting around 18-19 on the dash with plenty of city driving. Hope that gives you something to look forward to.

    Best speed for mpg

    I'm finally getting around to a road trip and wondering if anyone has seen a good top speed to get the best mpg? Lots of 70 and 80 mph zones. Also I read somewhere that eco doesn't kick on over 70. Is that a real thing?

    Mopar lifetime warranty question

    Not to cause an issue but I think there's a 60 day refund. You could see if they price match 2750 or cancel and grab from one of the other places? It's not a ton of cash but $200 would get you mud mats and some gas.

    Made a huge mistake...

    I too went to go look at gen 4s figuring I'd get a crazy discount once the gen 5 hit. Then I looked at a 5 after hearing about the bigger backseat. I now own a 19 bighorn and it's a damn good truck that I got at a ridiculous price. Couldn't be happier.

    Mopar lifetime warranty question

    I just got maxcare lifetime with $100 deductable for 2750 from Zeiger. It lists higher but the code payinfull gives you a nice discount. I've done well with warranties in the past on vehicles so I'm happy with it and the lifetime part is pretty hard to pass up. It's prorated if you sell the...

    Got the under rear seat storage option?

    I have it in my bighorn. Maybe it was only available on dealer view when ordering?

    Those with 2019 BigHorns, post them up.

    Thanks, I love it myself. I'm also glad about it as it wasnt available anywhere and caused me to custom order which doesnt sound like an upside but really was. I couldnt be happier. I will warn its more maintenance in washing more if anyones considering it but when it catches the sun you forget...

    Hard time finding '19, Laramie, 6'4" bed, 40/20/40 bench

    I'd suggest ordering if they dont have exactly what you want. I feel spoiled after receiving my ordered Bighorn. From now on I'll be hard pressed to take something off the lot unless its precisely right. I had a trade and negotiated it after settling the order. Have a list ready if your...
