2019 Dodge Ram Bighorn Crew cab 5’7” rambox

[J-LO]

I've driven a 5.7 with the Mopar exhaust, and it's mellow enough to come from the factory but loud enough at WOT and has a nice burble around town. I think I recall the Mopar rep I was driving with said Borla makes it.

thats good to know its by borla, as mopar charges an extra 1100 for their cat back. 1700 dollars is wacko.

they have a ram air style CAI though that is 970 bucks, but looks awesome. not on their web site yet though

 

[J-LO]

this crazy dude did the mopar exhaust and that intake, not sure how he got it before everyone else but good for him.

cai goes on towards the end. skip through it

These trucks are why GM pickups are in trouble.

FCA nailed it this generation of pickups. I see ALOT of new Dodges being bought by farmers where I live. Thats bad news for GM and Ford too.

believe it or not, this 2019 is far better than my 2017. a lot of changes in a short time, its a great truck and looks killer!

Its a case of GM standing idle and thinking their product is good enough.

Need more proof? On another note I sure see a shitload of new Expeditions and Navigators now too.

The latest generation Expedition/Navigator Id argue is better than what GM offers in the Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade trio aswell.

 

[Grabber]

This thing is really nice.

V8 I assume right? I always keep going back to looking at Pickups, specially the Rams.

Very nice OP.

The fact that Mopar basically copied the vararam design on the CAI just cemented my decision to buy the vararam for my 2015.

So mopar charging 550 dollars for the cover? Lol

Seems that way but I'm sure the fit and finish is nicer. I know some people complain that the vararam fitment kind of sucks.

What kind of changes did you see or notice between the years?

And does the ram still have a knob for the shifter?

The ride is 10 times smoother riding, and 100 times quieter. they’ve moved usb/power outlets and cup holders to where they need to be( added more essentially). Removed box from under rear seat, now flat bottom floor.
They say there is an actual 6” increase in leg room for rear seat too. Not that it needed any, nor can I actually confirm this but it’s got stupid room back there. The ram boxes are improved, and includes a 110v outlet on drivers side. Sunglass holder now too.

Yes the gear selector is still knob, but the trailer and traction control have been given mustang type buttons instead of push buttons.


It’s a lot of small improvements, but they were all the right improvements in my opinion.

 

[frank]

Those are some great improvements over all. I test drove on recently while my wife Durango was getting service work done. liked the ram over both Ford and gm trucks that I have been in and drove.

 

[J-LO]

well, still waiting on doing the exhaust, but have added a 3-1/2" lift/level kit and some 295/60r20 tires (34")

looks so much better with the front and rear leveled

exhaust/intake next LOL

Nice.

I did the Magnaflow direct fit muffler, sounds great with no drone and it's under $400 bucks.

It has a great deep tone with zero drone and doesn’t sound too stupid when the MDS kicks in.
