New Truck?

[Telemark]

Nice looking truck. Is it black or dark grey?

I’m a weirdo- I want a decent looking truck but I like to blend in a little. No decals or bumper stickers. I ordered this truck without the stupid decals on the bed and I have always pulled and dealership badges or “4x4” as soon as I get it home. No personalized plates. I like the color you got. My current truck is grey. It blends in.

I don’t do much. Ceramic window tint to match the tint of rear windows. I always do Weathertech no-drill mudflaps. On the Fords I trimmed them back to the edge of the contours to make them shorter, if you look at them you’ll see what I mean. Better tires, usually 35’s on the trucks I buy, no wider than the fender wells. Fold up bed cover. Been buying hard ones last couple.

On that truck maybe a 2” lift of some kind? They look really nice just a little taller and you could go a little taller with tires. I have never done that and I’ve never run anything but stock rims.

I went crazy with this truck and got protective film on the front where I tend to get rock chips. It’s self healing if you get rock dings and i really like it. Ceramic coat. Kinda different, you never wax it, it’s nice but you kinda have to dry it if you wash it. My ‘21 still looks very new knock on wood.

Dark gray

Falken are the best tires I've ever owned, you give up a little lifespan, but they grip the road and dirt really well

Yep, they are great tires, other than I wished they lasted a little longer.

Huh. Didn't know Ram went away from the hemi. Never really considered them but I've driven a handful and they are the nicest riding 1/2 ton for sure.

They brought them back in 2026

I was getting 60,000 out of them easy on an f-250 diesel. Rotated every oil change, at the time I was driving all over the country for my kids sports.

I have the BF Goodrich K03’s that come stock on the Raptors with 66k on them. They started getting loud awhile ago. I really need to buy tires this fall yet and will probably go with the AT3’s.

Which Cooper you run? Is there only one AT3?

Before you go with bigger tires, load the truck up some. When its loaded down, have smeone turn the wheels left and right. Look at clearance while your turning. Thats the most common tire rub issue.

Forgot the exact model, but I have some firestone AT tires that came with my used 2019 ram. 55k miles on them so far. They are close to being replaced. I dont go too thin. But, by other folks standards, they're probably a 75k mile tire. Besides geetting a deer on havested fields, my only challenge is snow. They're great there too. I think they destination model lines.

If I were to buy a truck, I'd go for a tacoma. Although, I try to buy US cars. Probably buy another truck in 5 years if possible. NEw one close to retirement, or a decent towing SUV. Enclosed trailer, small camper, of 21ft boat.

It was this one- BUT I wan them on my F-250’s so they had to have higher load rating so I bet there is a better match for a half ton truck.

We on tires? I just got a set of Firestone Destination XT’s on my 2500. 5th set maybe? Across multiple vehicles. Good tires for me.
