Looking for tire recommendations
I drive 99.9% of the time on the pavement but with a 2 wheel drive if you ever get off road when it's been raining there's a good chance you'll get stuck with street tires. I got stuck 3 times last year because it rained all winter and half of summer in OKC and the ground virtually never dried... -

V6 Ram owners what is your MPG??
I bought a new 2018 Ram Quadcab V6 and now have 64K miles on it. I get around 21 MPG in the city with the original Goodyear SRAs or my new Cooper AT tires which I'm thrilled with but unfortunately the highway mileage is barely any better but I usually drive about 85 on the the highway. The...- Farmer17

What DON'T you like about your RAM?
The transmission knob is probably the best place to have a shifter because I'm always eating and drinking things in my truck and spill a little on the console and it gets in all the cracks and can't be cleaned out. The knob is really the cheapest and least obtrusive of any shifter but they...- Farmer17

What DON'T you like about your RAM?
My Ram quadcab Tradesman was bought new in August of 2018 for $24,150 out the door and have 63K miles on it now since I also use it for work with my construction company and no problems at all so far. The Goodyear SRA factory tires worked very well with smooth ride and great handling and I got...- Farmer17

Michelin Defender LTX M/S....horrible mileage.
I had 59k miles on my 2018 Ram 17" SRAs and could have gone 8K more or until winter time but a screw went through the side of a tire and ruined it so I just replaced them all. I'm apparently one of the few people who was very happy with the factory SRA's and got good mileage, great handling... -

Tire Recommendations
I'll be needing tires soon and did a lot of research and if I was spending a lot of time off road I would get the Falkens but they are a little worse in gas mileage and road noise like all aggressive off road tires. For myself that just goes off road occasionally I picked the Cooper AT3s that... -

Running Boards or Drop Steps
A friend has the full running boards on his truck and he hates them because he gets in the mud and they get covered and there is no place for the mud to go. When he goes to the car wash it takes some time to clean the caked on dried mud and it blows mud all over the place including on him. -

Top bed covers
I had a Roll N Lock on my Nissan Titan and it worked great for 10 years. It looked a tiny bit faded but some black vinyl dye probably would have made it look great. I bought a Recoil Gator for my 2018 Ram and its not very heavy duty and got a dent in the housing and is difficult to open. I... -

What DON'T you like about your RAM?
Bought a new Tradesman in 2018 and now have 49k miles and not a single problem and love everything about the truck except for a couple of things. I hate black carpeting it is so hard to keep clean and I wish it had a tailgate open indicator light. I have a rolling cover and am getting tools out...- Farmer17

What are the largest tires I can put on the factory 17" rims?
I have a 2018 Quadcab Tradesman 2WD 1500 V6 and have about 45K miles on the factory 17" Goodyear SRAs and I will be needing tires in about 5K more miles. I have had great luck with the factory tires so far except in the mud so I'm wanting a little more aggressive tire but I would also like it... -

Searching for floor mats
I bought the Ram OEM rubber mats with logo and I'm pretty happy with them and my truck has black carpet which gets filthy quick and these mats are big and cover darn near all of the carpet. -

Stock Goodyear SRA tires replace or run 'em poll
I bought a new 2018 Ram V6 Tradesman quad cab with 17 inch aluminum wheels and factory SR-A tires and they have been great. I have about 43K miles and they've been very smooth and quiet with excellent handling and they should last me another 10K miles but I will buy something a little more... -

Unequal bed width?
My 2018 Quadcab 1500 is wider at the front which really fooled me when I bought a Gator recoil rolling bed cover and tried to install it. I thought they sent me the wrong one but then I was informed by the manufacturer that there are adapter parts in the box that make it fit at the front. -

Best tires without mpg loss?
I picked up a nail the other day and Discount Tires fixed the flat for free and told me I would be needing new tires in about 9K miles. Whenever a tire store tells me I have so many miles left on a set of tires I will usually double it so I'm guessing about 18K miles and I'll then need some new... -

Best tires without mpg loss?
I bought my Ram in late 2018 and I now have 38,000 miles on the original GY 17” SR A’s and I’ve been pretty happy with them. I don’t know if they’ve changed the design but they do great in the rain and handle great and are also quiet and smooth riding. They do suck in the mud but I spend so... -

Need new tires and wheels for a 2018 Ram Tradesman crew cab.
I have an 18' white crewcab with about 38 k miles on the factory 17" Goodyear SRA's and I'm ready to start shopping for new 20 inch wheels and tires. What tire size do I need on a 20 inch rim that will fit in the wheel wells without a lift kit? Also my truck is 2wd but I'm wanting some all... -

Why I Love my Ram but miss my Silverado...
I just sold a GM car and won't be buying another GM product for a LONG time. It was babied and always serviced by the dealer and we should have dumped the car before it had 100K miles because we kept it to 150K miles and spent enough on repairs we could have bought a new vehicle.- Farmer17

Very pleased with v6 mileage on a road trip
I have a 2018 Ram with V6 and I average 20-21 mpg in the city on cheap ethanol gas which I'm very pleased with. I also find the 305 hp engine has plenty of power for my needs and I have no regrets not getting a V8.- Farmer17

Factory tires
I love the factory 17 inch Goodyear SRA tires on my 18 Ram. This is the smoothest and quietest pickup I have ever been in and the handling is great and don't have any trouble in the rain and we have had a BUNCH of rain here in Oklahoma. The tires are not worth a darn in the mud but I normally... -

What DON'T you like about your RAM?
The F-150 I kept until 165k miles and the Titan I kept until 262K miles and had several sets of tires on both trucks, usually Goodyear Wrangler AT tires but no tires I owned had a very aggressive tread because I rarely needed it and preferred a quiet, smooth ride.- Farmer17

What DON'T you like about your RAM?
In 1999 I special ordered an F-150 exactly the way I wanted it and I paid for a limited slip rear end. My next truck was an 2004 Titan and it had limited slip differential on the window sticker but both trucks seemed to be no better in mud or snow than a basic rear end without limited slip...- Farmer17
