Hey Ya'll,
My Name is Will. I am from Tiger, GA. I Just bought a NEW 2012 RAM 1500 Sport 4x4 Crew Cab 5.7L. The truck was new on the lot and the last 2012 left at the dealership. The truck is Silver with leather seats, Navigation, and much more absolutely love it!!! My previous vehicle was a 2008 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab, unfortunately I totaled that truck two weeks ago. I hope to gain a lot of information from this place.

It makes me glad to have Good insurance and seat belts. So please for those of you who believe you are too good for a seat belt. Allow this to be a lesson. I am a career Firefighter and drive a Fire Engine every third day on busy streets. I never thought I would be involved in an accident myself. Believe me if it can happen to me it can happen to anyone.

+ a couple to the OUCH! I flew a Nissan off a cliff into a tree at 60 mph...fell down a cliff to the creek at the bottom and sank...i can also agree to the seat belt ;) Welcome to the forum.

Welcome. Glad you're ok, that looks like it hurt.

Big fan of the silver rams, my last two rams and my durango were silver. So easy to keep clean, so sharp when clean.

Just remember to keep the diff fluid changed because of the damn limited slip. That's something I loathe about Dodge: the unwillingness to use industry standard metals in their pinions for the limited slips.

That damn additive bottle costs something like $250 alone and you have to change it so often or you damage the LS.

(I bought the 2500 largely in part because of that, if they have since changed this issue please disregard this part of my post)

Oh, and welcome!

Thanks for the LS advice, I will look into that.

I know about the seat belts. These pics are of my first Ram. I wasn't wearing my seat belt when this happened. Thankfully, the airbags saved me.
