I’m about 600 miles in on our new 2017 Ram 1500 Bighorn and will be writing a review of our time so far this weekend. What would you like to know or see?

Does it feel like an almost decade-old truck?

Do you wish you had at least a three-quarter ton?

How many flat-brimmed hats do you own?

Do you feel the urge to bully Prius’s on the highway?

Why do you keep tailgating me dude I’m already going 5 MPH over the speed limit just change lanes and pass me already holy shit.

Can anyone besides me NOT stop calling it a Dodge Ram? I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to drop that part of the name after all these years.

I’ve stopped but any internetting is done with “Dodge Ram”. Because if I search for “Ram” I get 1,500 sheeps

Is the horn really that big? When you press the button does it sound different?

Joking aside, perceived fatigue after a 600 mile drive would be interesting. I don’t think it’s mentioned a lot but certain cars/trucks just don’t beat you up that bad on long trips.

Or in New Zealand, “a party”

Needs more Air Supply. I recommend K&N.

I can’t attest to a long drive yet - that’s coming this summer when we hook up to the camper and go to some heretofore unknown location. So far the longest trip was about 180 miles

It turned out that since the Dodge division handled trucks for Chrysler since the 1920s, people kind of expected their trucks to still be Dodge. Especially when the new “brand” came from a model spin-off. Crazy, I know.

tl;dr: “RAM” branding is bullshit.

Doh, misread. Thought you were driving 600 miles. A few time zones away from home and my head is messed up.

Either way, feedback after a long day behind the wheel would be cool.

Is it really that color? Cuz that’s cool.

Nibbles > random001 03/15/2017 at 14:07

The color is Delmonico Red Pearl Coat which is a bloody deep, sparkly red. My phone is kinda weird in that it picks up more of the fucsia than you see with the naked eye

Is the bed cover still water tight? I’m thinking of putting that model on my F150.

Guy at work has a Durango that color. But I was so hoping for the fucsia, because COLOR!

Did you spec it with the air suspension?

A friend of mine and I towed a 6000lb trailer with his Ram Hemi (specced with air suspension). Stayed level and the ride was incredibly good.

No air suspension but an upgrade is not off the table

No bed cover or bedliner. My wife refuses to use the bed until we get a Line-X spray in

You know that’s totally my bad. I got you and Nibby (who has a black RAM!) confused. Carry on.

Nibbles > Spaceball-Two 03/15/2017 at 14:18

Yeah I know. We keep making it harder and harder to differentiate.

I’m like Nibby but sexier and more drunk

Mine’s still water tight and has dealt with a lot of snow in the 2 winters I’ve had it!

I drove my 2015 1500 to Rochester and that’s a 400 mile drive. Never felt uncomfortable.

What cover do you got? I’m asking for a friend...

This one, I got it for less than $250 in late 2015

Is this the big or small (Crew? Quad?) cab? Rear gear ratio?

Nibbles > Busslayer 03/15/2017 at 16:29

0

This is the Quad cab and the rear is a limited-slip 3.21 ratio. I wanted a 3.55 or better but, with the camper being 4100 dry, the 3.21 should meet our needs

If not, it’s re-gear time :)
