Just about to roll over 5k, thought it was time to get it’s first oil change. They wanted $20 to rotate the tires. So I guess I need to squeeze in a hand wash and rotate the tires before we leave for our trip on Friday. While I was waiting for my ride I checked out the 2019’s they had.

I’m just not a fan of that front end. There’s to much plastic between the headlights and bumper. It looks odd. The only ones it suits is the new Rebels

I like it, but I don’t like how the grill sticks out almost as far as the bumper. It’s stating to look more like a car than a truck.

I always go to discount tire for a free tire rotation because I will not pay the dealer 20.00 bucks to do it. They charge enough for other service visits.
I also agree on the fact that the new Ram grill design sucks.

Not a fan of the 5th gen. Just can’t stand the front end or headlights. Looks like a car.

I found that it really depends on the model. I find that the lower end models look a lot nicer. The high end models look awful to me. Which is nice of ram because I could never justify buying the high end ones anyway.

I might like the new model after I see it out and about more. As of now... not a fan! I did see some pics of one I thought was nice but it was a loaded up top end model and that's not one I would ever buy.

She's a beaut!

I dunno that I'd bother with a tire rotation at 5Kmi, but for $20 it's a deal. How much for the oil change? I've done all my own oil changes and (sporadic) tire rotations for the past 30yrs. I'm outta touch for sure.

I wouldn't mind trading my 2014 (Bought new) for a 2019, but mine is paid for and new ones are hella-expensive since I bought mine.
