I'm keeping the main seat but I never take passengers, so I have no use for the back seat. That back seat is $499 that I didn't need. Overall, with removing the pegs and that back seat took $1100 off the tag.

That makes total sense. I very often take passengers on my bike, so I love having the back seat.

I just got a 2024 Ram 1500 Limited. 3rd Ram I've had. God damn its nice to have the 3.92 rear axle ratio back, last one had 3.21 and holy shit can you tell the difference hauling stuff.
Classic idiot designers with ram put god damn Perellis as the OEM tires, like wtf is that? That's my only gripe. Going to have to get them swapped out.

I'd buy a RAM in a second if I knew it would be reliable. I put in an offer on a low miles 2020 Tundra 1794. Dealership is holding out for better offers which is fine. I am in no hurry.
I bought a Highlander and holy shit those OEM tires were dangerous shit. They spend 10's of millions developing the suspension only to put fucking hockey puck Goodyear Eagles on most of them.
I put on Michelin Defender LTX on my 2012 Tundra and they stick like glue and ride very well. I got the NON TOWING ply tires. Sail through snow and rain like nothing.

Goodyear seems great at capturing that car manufacturer market. Dunno if they still do, but Eagles were on a bunch of Chevrolets in the 2000 & 2010s. Which was great for me, cause I was able to find 90+ percent tread life used runflat Eagles for my car for 75% less than new Nittos or Hankooks (non-run flats). I didn't give a fuck about road noise when daily driving (just turn the music up) and they hooked/cornered almost as well as my current Firestones (as least in warm weather).
The ground hardly, if ever freezes here, but I had my car up north, in the winter, and both the Eagles and Firestone summers were squirrely as hell (almost went into a ditch from the on-ramp the first week up there).

I guess this is anecdotal but like I said this is my 3rd RAM. Only issues I've had:
2009 Big Horn: the brake lights needing to be replaced a few times
2017 Laramie: Backup camera cord connection sucked and I had to fix it
I think I've driven about 400k miles between those 2 trucks and that's the only problems I ever had.
I really wish they had a Bak X2 or X4S tonneau cover available for the 2024's. I hate not having a tonneau.
Back to the OEM tire discussion they had Wranglers as the OEM on both of my previous RAMs, this one like I said has fucking Perellis. FUCKING PERELLIS. I bet the person in charge of that is a 50 Cent fan. Fucks sake. They look like racing tires.

Told you... whoever made that decision is a 50 cent fan. It's pretty stupid. Other than that, though, I really love the truck. Still figuring out all the bells and whistles on it.

I mean every MFG has a wide range of tires, so I think everyone saying poo poo on a brand tire choice is somewhat silly. That said, often it is a cheap tire, and a little known secret, even when it is a name brand tire like a ko2 or a pilot sport 4 or whatever, some oem's get a special tire made under the same name that is basically shorter tread to be cheaper or otherwise a bit inferior. Was watching a few video's on that years ago.
That said , both the F Type and GT tires stock ya were ass. Even going to a performance all season on the GT was a big different, I still don't know what changed in my head I didn't really enjoy that car. Trying to actually try to be in the cars only as tools mindset and give up on enthusiest stuff. Part of why I kept my insane bike as risky as it is out here so I at least have something fast.
Friend of mine actually scooped a GR Corolla which I'd love to at least drive once. I tell myself a non pimped out C8 may be possible in a year or 2, but just would be shit out here on my country road and even in Tulsa a lot of parking lots with absurdly steep ramps that would scrape. My wife is a bad influence, actually would like to have an F Type again. I'm not sure what else we'd like, don't think an M5 Comp would be in the price range we willing to pay, but for my personal preferences, I think I prefer AWD big horsepower, or maybe it was just the driving response of being supercharged, can't put my finger on it.

Since there’s been some talk of Ram trucks lately

all things considered pretty normal looking, in a good way. I’m not a fan of the lighted logo.
2025 Ram 1500 REV: What We Know So Far
The 2025 Ram 1500 REV is the brand's first electric pickup, and the company claims that it will beat its competition in both range and max towing capacity. We’ll see.

Don't worry, they'll realize the error of their ways when the Soy shipments stop because there aren't enough EV semi trucks on the road and by then it will be too late.
