There has been a lot of discussion on here about air vs non-air setups with good points made on both sides. One topic I haven't seen on this thread and my reason for deciding to go with a non-air 3500 is I tend to keep vehicles for quite a while. My last Ram was 18 years old when I sold it and...

I would consider how often you are hauling such supplies. Granted I have a long box but 14' deck boards were not a problem with the tailgate down, a few ratchet straps, and a flag. You should have tie down points on all 4 lower corners in your bed. General rule in my neck of the woods is...

This is good to hear. I installed a CTS3 last year on my truck (same truck you have) and never could find the transmission temp in the CTS3. I suspected the Aisin transmission was possibly not supported by the CTS3 since it reportedly has it's own computer for the transmission. I will have to...

I for one much prefer a column shifter (since we can't get a manual anymore). Even if it was just connected to an electronic switch at least it is familiar to a lot of us and it's not like it takes up any useful room. One of the small town police departments in my area has a Ram 1500 with the...

It almost makes me wonder if Ram is still trying to sort out some final details on this MY25 update. Info has been pretty light with few details getting leaked for how late in the year it is (no updates on power numbers for the new Cummins...). Obviously, their ducks will have to be in a row for...

There is really only so much you can do for ride quality in a 1 ton pickup. I personally would prefer not to have independent suspension because while it would ride nicer it would also create a whole different set of problems when hauling heavy loads and I suspect durability would take a hit...

I've been keeping up on reading on this forum but haven't posted in a while. I have spent the last day and a half getting the truck all ready for winter. I changed the oil, oil filter, both fuel filters, and the air filter. I then touched up the undercoating (Wool Wax), washed, clay barred the...

To me the new front is meh at best. I do rather like the hood scoop but don't care for the headlights or grille. I am most interested to see what new numbers the Cummins will be putting out and get some real world reviews on how the new 8 speed does. Not regretting my 2024 at all from a design...

I don't own a truck camper yet but am also interested in purchasing one and will be following this thread. At the moment I am leaning toward a Wolf Creek 890 which is hard sided but with no slides to keep weight down. It's kind of the budget line from the same manufacturer as Arctic Fox and they...

My initial reaction when I read the first post was shave a little weight and get a 2500 SO like the Rebel which is a sharp looking rig that seemed a bit more off-road oriented with better suspension for that purpose. I have a CCLB HO that I chose for other uses and would not relish the thought...

Wow, lots of great info posted on here recently on the truck campers, thank you all for passing along your experience! I will not be full timing with this rig and don't drive too fast so if I end up a little above GVWR, I will be ok with that. As for an update, I posted the 3rd gen on Carsoup...

My guess is passengers/driver don't count as they come in different sizes/weights.

I park in my un-insulated detached garage and don't drive my truck very often in the winter but didn't want to pay for the electricity to have it plugged in all the time. The solution I came up with a few years back that is fairly simple was a wifi outlet plug with an extension cord run to the...

I too have been a bit disappointment that Ram has been eliminating options that they previously had available for a reasonable price. In 2023 I could have added the 7'' EVIC dash for a mere $75 to the 3500 Bighorn I ordered. On the 2024 I ordered, I would have had to spend a few thousand more...

3500 Bighorn with spray in bedliner, running boards, 5th wheel prep, aux switches.
