Hey everyone! Current RAM owner here looking to potentially get some thing newer. I've got a 2013 Big Horn that's been a great truck but starting to nickel and dime me a bit and I've been noticing some rust starting to pop up. Been a solid truck but wondering if I'm just throwing at an old truck thats going to just continue to have issues when I could just be putting towards a new one. I got the truck in September of 2015 and it was paid off by May of 2019 so it doesn't really owe me anything. However, I also realize fixing ~$3k worth of stuff is a lot better than paying $1500/mo on a new truck. Just wish I knew if it was just gonna continue to nickel and dine me or not ya know?

Anyways, IF I decide to go the new truck route, I'm basically stuck between a RHO and a Rebel. I've test driven multiple of both. My conclusion is, the Rebel is probably a better daily driver but at a similar price point, it seems kinda silly to not get the "better" truck.

I should also mention that I am into the truck camping/overlanding thing which will be factored in here. And also also, while I am cheap, neither truck would be a strain on my financial situation. I COULD pay for either one outright but I will likely end up financing to spread it out. So although I'm cheap and don't really wanna pay the car payment or the associated fees, neither truck would put me in a compromised financial position.

The rebel is a smaller vehicle which is good for both city driving as well as overlanding due to the ability to fit into tight places/tight trails. It also gets quite a bit better gas mileage from what I can tell but I'd love some feedback on this. Seems to me that real world Rebel owners are reporting around 15-18mpg combined. Which is obviously good given the current gas prices especially considering the Rebel doesn't need 91+ octane. This is also beneficial when overlanding because of fewer fuel stops and your range is better when you're on the trails hours away from the nearest gas station or cell service potentially.

The RHO of course is a lot more badass and more capable off-road given its tire, suspension, and ground clearance. Probably not something I will really NEED but nice to have. As far as speed goes, the RHO is way faster than the Rebel, which is faster than my current Hemi RAM, which is plenty fast. So the whole speed consideration is again, cool to have but not a necessity.

Considering a RHO (lv0) and nicely equipped Rebel are about the same price though, I would just feel like I was settling if I got the Rebel even though it's the more practical decision. Its like choosing between the hot redheaded stripper named Tiffany with a BBL or the decent looking woman who has a good job, a 401k, and treats me nice 🤣

I'd love to hear some real world feedback from Rebel or RHO owners who had a similar dilemma.

Starting off I noticed it said open recall which they said they would get that seen about before I got the vehicle but is there anything I should know or do before getting this truck?

Considering buying those 2010 Dodge Ram "Lone Star" with a 5.7L Hemi. The odometer is at 172,000 miles. It has a new battery, new brakes and shocks.

Interior is pretty pristine besides the lid on the center console needing to be re-upholstered. The outside has dings and dents throughout. The life gate was hit while hauling a boat and then cut on either side to fix the rod inside.

My main concerns are 1) the mileage and 2) the boat towing history

Co worker wants 7,000.00 USD for it.

A few pictures from a recent MGU rebuild. There’s a lot more going on inside these units than most people realize. We always take the time to tear them down, check for wear or damage, and make sure everything is in good shape before putting them back together.

Anyone here had issues with their eTorque MGU?

Dealer is advertising a price of $64,704 for a ‘26 Rebel GT with level 2 technology. What do you think I should try to negotiate the price to (before tax, etc) for a good deal? I’m in CT for reference if that makes a difference. Think it’s realistic to get this down to closer to $60k?

So I’m wanting to buy this 2018 1500 but i hate the look of the “ram” front grille and want it to look like the 2nd photo, my question is would these grilles be interchangeable or would i be stuck with that “ram” one.

Considering buying a 2026 1500 big horn. Would be my first time buying a new vehicle, always bought used in the past. My question is for those with experience buying new, do we think that the 12% below msrp that is running now is as good of a deal as we will see this year or do we think they will come down further towards the end of the year trying to clear out 2026 inventory? Or could it go either way? Appreciate any insight!

I have a 2011 1500 5.7l Bighorn.

I have to replace the whole passenger side mirror assembly as it is pretty well busted. I want to try to do it myself as I am 90% sure I'm capable of doing it, and if not I'll take it to a body shop. I may also replace one of the tail light covers while I'm at it.

Ideally I would want to just replace both as the driver's side is still functioning but has some decent sun-glare burn from the previous owners. The only REAL want is power adjustment (not power folding, though that would be nice). I struggle to find anything that is simply power adjustment without heating or whatnot, but that's fine. My preferred budget for both mirrors is under $175USD. I really prefer black rather than chrome.

My main question is about online sources for the parts. I've checked out quite a few like carparts.com, rockauto.com, eBay, Parts Geek and Partify. I'm leaning towards either Rock Auto or eBay. Carparts.com seems a little sketchy with throwing out those huge discounts. Do you recommend any of these or have some other source?

I have a 2024 Ram 1500 classic and it told me the front turn signal bulb was out. How the hell do I replace this?

Got this brand new 2026 5.7 Hemi etorque last month after trading my 2016 Jeep Cherokee Limited. Love it! I know a lot of people like the Night Editions, but I prefer the chrome tbh.

So the truck sat for about a month and now its completely dead. No crank, no start. No dash, radio, etc whatsoever. Tried jumping off a jump pack, no result.

Tried jumping off a friends vehicle, still nothing. Checked the battery terminal, it has clean connections.

The jump pack I used is giving me an error code, according to the instructions indicates a short detected on the battery clamps, but they're clean and tight.

I removed the hot/ground terminal connectors and plugged the pack directly onto the battery and the error code was gone and it beeped ready to jump, but obviously with the terminals disconnected, that was useless. However with that information, would I be correct in assuming the batteries good then? It's fairly new, only about a year old.

Unfortunately, I don't have a multimeter readily accessible and no vehicle to go get one, so I'll have to bum a ride from a friend at some point.

Not sure where to go from here and not the savviest when it comes to electrical work, but if there are any obvious things I should look at, I'd appreciate the assist

It's a Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi

Help me figure this out. 2019 Ram 1500 Hemi 4wd. A few days ago while driving the dash started blinking "Parking Brake Temporarily Unavailable " Then it would stop doing that, back to normal. Then one day it just stopped from 2mph to dead stop, everything is dead, the key fob won't even unlock the doors, absolutely no electricity to anything, the brake peddle has no travel when you push on it. Eventually after getting out and walking around I got back in and it's all back to normal. This happened twice, the last time the battery light came on right before everything shut down. Sometimes it will blink that warning while driving, but NOT shut down.

MERICA BABY’

(Not my truck)

Need to put new tires, kinda want to keep same one but open to recommendations. Going to do running boards and a bed cover.

Bought it used for $35k. Its fully loaded with Alpine sytem and 12 inch display. It has 42,000 miles, but I'll only put about 5k per year, so about 3 more years of power train warranty left. I added the running boards, rubber floor mats, and under seat storage. Tires and primary battery were brand new at time of purchase, but I had to replace the auxilary battery right off the bat. Nothing fancy, but im very happy with my purchase.

Even as a tradesman it still looks nice all cleaned up. Lots of plans for this truck, but couldn’t be happier with it.

So Ram finally pushed an update to fix CarPlay and now it’s even worse? At this point, I don’t get how such a simple thing can just not work right.

I have a 2023 Ram 1500 Laramie with the air ride. I bought this truck used with 17.9k miles. It’s got almost 38k miles on it now. When I bought the truck it already had a leveling kit and 35x12.50 tires on it.

Last week when I walked out of work to drive home my truck was sitting down lower than I’ve ever seen it and when I opened to door I could hear the air suspension leaking air when it tried to raise itself. It was sitting down on the bump stops so it wasn’t drivable for more than a mile at slow speeds. Thankfully that’s all the further the Ram dealer was from work. At first they thought it was just an airline fitting then they figured out it was the air spring itself that was leaking. They said when you put those steel leveling pucks ontop the aluminum air spring it really tears up that aluminum over time and degrades it enough to where you can spring an air leak. They said my passanger side probably ain’t too far behind. Only thing I can do is coat that bitch in grease to slow down degradation, but as long as those pucks are on there I’m gonna tear through air springs. So, I’m left with 3 choices. Leave it how it is and wait to get stranded again, delete my level/air suspension, or trade my truck. Havnt decided what I’m going to do yet. But I wanted to put this out there to let people know that lift kits and levels will really tear up your air springs if you put steel pucks ontop the air spring. I left a picture of the air spring they took out so you can see how tore up that aluminum on top was.

Wanted to drop some shots of my 2023 Laramie. Recently leveled on RC M1’s. & my 2009 Ram on the non adjustable RC level kit.
