    295/65/20

    I run 295/60/20 Toyo AT3 on my 2500 which has the air suspension. I tow an 11,000 pound center console with no issues, no rubbing. Very happy with tires and they look great on the truck.

    Exhaust tip question

    Painted mine with high temp primer and paint. Very easy job. Has held up well so far, 6 months in.

    Lets see what you are towing!

    No issues with the sensors. I don't even turn them off.

    Lets see what you are towing!

    Using a weigh-safe, think it is an 8" drop which is more than I need as you can see below, thing is a work of art. Sway control isn't really a thing for boats, some of the TT guys would be better to answer that one.

    Lets see what you are towing!

    Hauled this around the southeast this summer and fall, about 2,000 miles in total and averaged around 9 mpg. Was a little concerned about having an open diff and pulling over 10k pounds up a slippery ramp (didn't have much choice of options back in May when I purchased) but surprisingly no...

    New member and new 2020 Longhorn

    Good eye, what do you want to know? Love the car, have owned it for the last 7 years. 1995 M3 with about 80k on it.

    New member and new 2020 Longhorn

    I never drove the truck on stock Firestones so can't answer. From my perspective the AT3s are quiet, only time I have noticed some tire noise is down in Florida on the concrete interstate sections it seemed to make a slight hum. Wasn't loud enough for the wife to notice if that tells you...

    Bed Lowering Function

    I had the same question for my 2500, as a point of reference here are the measurements to the bottom of the hitch receiver opening: Standard = 20.6" Alt Trailer Height = 19.6" Bed Lowering Mode = 18.0" These were measured with no payload since it is a 2500. The bed lowering mode drops the...

    Pick a tire.

    I am running the Toyo Open Country AT3 in 295/60/20 on a stock truck. No rubbing, at least a finger width between tire and any interference.

    Residual Value

    Couple of options to consider: 1. Turn the vehicle in early. You will still be liable for the remaining payments but at least you won't have to pay the insurance on an unused vehicle. 2. Some manufacturers have "pull-ahead" programs that allow you to turn in the lease up to 6 months early and...

    What did you do TO your RAM today?

    Thanks! I was surprised how easy it was to do. Not sure how well it will hold up, saw mixed experiences from other posts. Will try to post back in a few months with an update. With all of the outstanding attention to detail Ram puts on these trucks, especially the interior, it just seems like...

    Residual Value

    dfafd I totally disagree. I worked at two OEMs for over 15 years and can tell you this is not universally the case. It completely depends on the incentive strategy of the OEM, the way they manage customer lifecycle, and your specific usage needs of the vehicle. Many OEMs prefer leases as it...

    What did you do TO your RAM today?

    Painted the exhaust black, used high-temp Rust-Oleum paint and primer. Easy job and hides the cheap looking factory pipe.

    Cleaning up some chrome on a limited

    Looks great! Should be a factory option, I would have specced it on my Longhorn. Looks like you painted the Ram letters on the grill, do you have to remove the grill to get those off?
