    Upgrading '19-'20 to a '21 model year.

    I paid $61k last February before taxes and was offered $63k cash from a dealer without them even seeing it. The KBB trade in estimated value is a $64k-$67k. Definitely making me think about walking away and selling the RV

    April incentive changes?

    Yeah, I'm also interested to hear the magical lease rates on HDs because when I checked on it three times over the past 6-7 years it was not viable. GM said they wouldn't even do it, 3 years ago a Ram 2500 6.4 was slightly higher than a loan payment. Last year when I bought my 6.7 the lease...

    Is the 12.0" vertical screen just a gimmick?

    I have less issues with my 12" than with the 8.4 on my 1500 which is kind of backwards from what I would have expected from forum posts, so that's kind of a win? I like the 12" but it definitely isn't a "killer feature" that the YouTube reviewers make it out to be. It's just not utilized...

    What is the ride like of a 2500 vs 1500?

    I have a 2019 1500 with coils(not air) and a 2019 2500 also with coils(no air in the rear). The 1500 rides much better, it is significantly different to me. It is literally a nice SUV with a truck bed. Now with that said, the 2500 isn't punishing or terrible and I actually prefer to drive my...

    Another oil thread

    Ordered a set of fuel filters off Amazon(no they were not fake) for $90 on sale, about $10 for a Mopar oil filter and $20/gallon for Shell Rotella with rebate. So fine, $160 for the whole thing. Taking the sale prices out it would be close or at $200 but with 10k miles between changes I have...

    How good are Your safety chains?

    I wonder if the police checked his payload sticker? Also...just for good measure..."he should have got a dually" Glad they made it out alive. I couldn't imagine hanging there for a while just waiting for rescue.

    Another oil thread

    That is robbery, you can do the oil change and both fuel filters for about $150 yourself in less time than you'd wait in the dealership lobby. The front filter is the only somewhat difficult part because the truck is so tall and it's pretty far back. Your engine doesn't know what kind of oil is...

    Sway when towing TT

    You already got tons of great advice but I'll mention that I have almost no sway and have a similar sized trailer, actually taller and a bit heavier. Going through Indiana last year on one of our trips and we had sustained side winds of about 25mph with some good gusts. I would take my hands off...

    Fifthwheel towing

    I don't have much advice for OP but I do agree with the above that the only ones I've seen complain about towing have factory air ride. People with coils and aftermarket air bags always seem to say they are impressed how well their trucks handle big trailers. I suspect that adding air bags to...

    5th Wheel Hitches > I am So Confused!

    The Andersen has been out a longer than a year, especially before it went aluminum. I don't think you'd have any issues with reliability but you could definitely hit your cab. I am in the same boat but going with a slightly larger 5th this spring. I am pretty set on the Pullrite Superglide and...

    Drive through question

    If you wait as long as possible before you start turning you can make some pretty tight turns but I will not go into our local Starbucks drive-thru, and not just because I don't like overpaying for coffee. There is curbing barely wider then the truck all along the path and have to make a 90...

    First Oil/Filter change. What were they thinking?

    I also don't really have amy problem with the cummins oil change, provided you have the filter tool. Once you drop the filter it rests nicely on something, put the filter cap tool on and boom done. Clean cap tool well and use it to insert new filter filled with clean oil. Like someone else...

    Industrial Injection CP3 pump and installation and follow on use!

    Definitely surprising after the cp3 install but I can't fault you. The Ford is really fun to drive, much more peppy. I probably would have ended up in one myself but they always seemed to be at least 5k more for a comparable truck, at least in early 2020. Looking forward to your write up...

    Less than thrilled with my 2021 Laramie 2500

    I think you're doing the right thing in trying to find the positives. A lot of us love the Ram HDs so I'm sure you'll end up happy. I love driving mine around empty but get a real big smile once the toy hauler is hooked up and we're rolling down the highway. Don't be surprised if it doesn't...

    High Output (AISIN) vs Standard (68rfe)

    The 68rfe will also not lock out 6th in T/H mode. I have to manually lock it out
