    Side Bed Access Influence on Tonneau Choice (Retrax vs. Bakflip)

    Unlike many folks discussing the merits & tradeoffs of their tonneau choice, side bed access is just as important as tailgate access for my purposes. Specifically, side bed access near the cab side of the bed. For a litany of other reasons I'll spare you from reading.... I'm choosing between the...

    Mud Flaps

    Anyone gone with the molded OEM mudflaps yet? Due to product image inconsistencies in their listings (e.g. interchangeable re-use of the rubber flaps in the molded flaps listings), I'm struggling to effectively differentiate between them. Ultimately, I'm looking to get front & rears for the...

    Mud Flaps with fender flares

    Thank you for sharing pics.... I've been looking forward to seeing more examples from folks with the wheel-to-wheel sidesteps. The clearance on the front ones looks good. Been worried about that aspect for the molded flap options.

    A/C Issues? Anyone else

    The RAM AC issues began with 5th Gen 1500's and 4.5 Gen HD's. Your example is why so many are frustrated.... RAM took a perfectly capable system and made it worse. Much has been written about it, but the short version of the story appears to be an over-reliance on a blend door to isolate the...

    A/C Issues? Anyone else

    Fascinating to see this. I stopped keeping up with 5thGenRams sister site, but I imagine this helps the 1500's too? If so, that group will be over the moon.

    Options you’re glad you got and ones you wish you did

    1) wheel to wheel side steps (vs. non-wheel to wheel) was a choice I remain quite happy to have made 2) rambox: was never a doubt I was getting them. Still happy I did. 3) Surround View Cams that came with Tow Tech Pkg: also was never in doubt... so dang happy to have them

    Hitch Step/Bumper Guard: 2.5" receiver or use the 2" reducer?

    Update for this bumper guard/hitch steps thread in case anyone looks into this down the road for their trucks. I do not have positive news to report unfortunately. I ended up purchasing the Juegoal Hitch Step off of Amazon. That choice was made after taking the truck's factory backup sensors...

    Hitch Step/Bumper Guard: 2.5" receiver or use the 2" reducer?

    Small detail I overlooked until today related to hitch step choice: If your truck has the Ram factory parking sensors, they are directly in line with the hitch receiver & easily activated. The sensor sensitivity seemed to vary from truck to truck back when I was test driving them. It might be a...

    Hitch Step/Bumper Guard: 2.5" receiver or use the 2" reducer?

    I didn't think about the hitch pin. Certainly would have overlooked that. hah thx

    Hitch Step/Bumper Guard: 2.5" receiver or use the 2" reducer?

    I don't tow with this truck, so was looking to put in a hitch step/bumper guard in mostly for the protective aspect... but also for an auxiliary bed step (*truck has the driver-side corner bed step). To be specific, I haven't found a single 2.5" option I like yet. Would love to hear your...

    2020 rebates

    I struggled quite a bit on the timing decision for my 2500 purchase... in part due to when to roll the dice on placing the order relative to expected delivery timeframe & historical norms of meaningful FCA rebates/incentives. The reality I came to accept was that significant incentives (at least...

    2020 ordering?

    Truck was delivered to the dealership & picked up by me on Feb 17.... so just a touch over 1.5 months cover to cover. Other than some curiously high tire pressures (84-88psi), things looked & felt in order. Been traveling since that day... so no real mileage since driving it home.

    2020 ordering?

    Perhaps our vehicles are temporary neighbors. My dealer sent me a note last week that my truck was built and awaiting coyotes to get it into the US. My order was punched in about a month ago. Given your timeline, they moved quicker on my build than I would have thought. If I get a more detailed...

    Preparing to order Laramie 2500

    Poked around the inventory search on ramtrucks.com. Found a couple 2020 examples matching some of the option combos listed in this thread (namely Off Road Pkg). Looks like they are shipping with the same beloved Transforce AT shoes as the 2019's.

    Preparing to order Laramie 2500

    Oh boy.... a last place consensus does not reverse from sample size errors. Best case, it's second to last place:)

    Preparing to order Laramie 2500

    re: Transforce AT's: all the Off-Road Package equipped trucks I've seen had them. I am hoping for something better too, but am somewhat resigned to the fact that they'll be on my truck when it's delivered next month. Hoping I'm wrong though!

    Your Favorite Plug-In Compressors

    That's good perspective, thx Marshfly. I'll probably just bump the budget to get something that can perform similarly to your second & third HF example links. Big picture, I just want to stay away from options that need regular care & feeding to work properly.... because I'm not great at that...
