    All terrain tires

    Rzr is right, lots of opinions here. I do not have any experience with Toyo, but I love my Falken AT3W's. but this particular comparison has been hashed out before. I hope this link works... https://www.ramforum.com/threads/toyo-at3-vs-falken-wildpeak-at3w.198539/

    Air suspension vs. no- major difference on 2021 1500?

    My '19 Limited has 84k on it and has had no issues with the Air Suspension. It lives outside as wifey gets the garage and it has handled our mild South Dakota winters just fine. as for ride, my previous non air suspension Ram and this were too close to call unloaded. But when towing, the Air...

    Towing

    /\/\/\ This. With your truck being a Limited, it is on the heavy end of the spectrum before you put anything in the cab, bed or on the receiver. My '19 Limited has a payload of 1280 (per the sticker referenced above). A little diligence (research) will pay off big time in the long run if you...

    Knob dial vs shift on console

    At first, I despised the dial. But only because it was different and I am after all, a grumpy old man. but I got used to it and actually appreciate the extra room on the console. However, I still have to look at the knob to make sure that I; A) grab the right knob and B) hit the right gear...

    My new Ram is a **** lol

    Curious... my Ram Limited is heavy and I have the 3.21 axle and if I'm not careful, the rear tires will break loose when accelerating even remotely hard. I am perfectly happy with the power and acceleration of my Ram and I too owned the 3.5 ecoboost.

    Weight Distribution Hitch

    I use the Equalizer to tow my 7k travel trailer. A bit noisy compared to others but it works great.

    Horrible headlights….

    It is my understanding, which is always subject to being incorrect, that there are at least three levels of "factory" headlights. Halogen, which are the subject of multiple comments of being sub-par, Non-Limited LED which apparently are very good and Limited LED which in my experience are...

    Love this 1500

    Agree with virtually all the above. As a lifelong Ford man, when I needed a new truck a few years ago, I went to our local dealer which is a two-fer ... Ford/CDJR dealer. I ended up in a '19 Ram Classic Quad Cap with the V6. I absolutely loved that truck. Did everything I asked of it and...

    Motorcycle thread

    Been riding off and on most of my life. Started with a Rupp Roadster when I was about 10 and graduated to a '71 or '72 Yamaha Enduro 360. My first road bike was a 1982 Yamaha XS400 After a buddy wrecked that one I bought a 1984 Yamaha virago 700 - road this one all over the east coast when I...

    V6 or V8?

    Having owned both a '19 Classic 3.6 V6 and now a Limited with the 5.7 Hemi I can state that the V6 was exceptional for what it is. A great choice for what you are looking for and with the appropriate limitations, it still tows pretty good. The only reason I stepped up to the V8 was because my...

    Auto shop says engine is overfilled with oil...?

    Agree with all the above and will add this... if it is a local shop, I would let the shop owner why you are moving your business elsewhere. I am sure he would want to know that someone in his shop is more than a little confused about how to do their job.

    disadvantages of leasing a truck?

    Different strokes for different folks. I like to drive the same vehicle for a long time. leasing (did it once) drove me nuts because I never felt like the truck was "mine". My wife wants a new car every couple of years so she leases, works out great - for her.

    Dealer Service Dept States Unleaded Gas Found In Fuel Tank

    I hope this was meant to be some type of twisted humor... DO NOT BE LIGHTING FUEL IN AN OPEN CONTAINER AT THE PUMP. There are far better ways to check the fuel.

    Dealer Service Dept States Unleaded Gas Found In Fuel Tank

    When I drove a diesel, I made it a point not to go the gas stations that had both diesel and unleaded nozzles at the same pump. All because I caught myself about to insert the wrong nozzle into my truck. Fortunately I did not but from that point on, if I could, I avoided the possibility. It...

    Potential truck owner

    Greetings, in my days in the service to Uncle Sam I spent two tours in Southern Cali. I didn't just move ... I escaped. Anyway, you will get a ton of "you ain't a man if you don't drive a Hemi" but truth be told if you are even remotely considering towing in the future, get the 5.7. The 3.6...

    2019 Classic 5.7 died due to cold weather?

    Last winter I drove to work in -10 deg +/- weather. While crossing a major highway the truck died half way across. Just flat died.. no sputtering or hesitating. Restarted but in limp mode with low power. took it straight to dealer and they pulled a whole handful of ice out of the throttle...

    Recommend me a nice cruiser

    Prior to my RAM I had a 2018 Fusion. I only had two complaints; 1) underpowered - I had the 1.5 EcoBoost. Great gas milage - poor acceleration. 2) Front wheel drive - I brought it with me when I moved back north above the snow belt. This car was horrible in the snow. Got stuck twice my first...

    Tell me I’m foolish, or not ...

    No, not foolish at all, just honest. Majority of trucks on the road in America today are pavement princesses (mine included).
