Man, that thing is WHITE!!

It's blueish gray again.  I really love the Shadow Gray Metallic.  I get a lot of great comments on the color.

Picked mine up about a month ago.  Loving it so far.  My only gripe would be a somewhat noisy steering column.  I'm not sure if it's the digital steering assist, but mine seems to make a kind of "hissing" sound when turning the wheel.  Haven't been able to find others with same issue, so I'm wondering if something may be wrong with mine.

Mine makes the hissing sound.  Once I start driving it goes away and comes back when I stop.

I’ve noticed that the new mirrors whistle a little but that’s it.
 

Also, finally got mine in off the lot. FYI for those with a multipro tailgate, check out tailgatefix.com. I am not affiliated, just like the product. It protects your tailgate from hitches.

That looks awesome!  What are the specs?  Lift? Wheel offset, Tire size.  Makes me want to re-think mine!

Thanks! The stance is exactly what I was wanting and hoping for.

Wheels: Fuel Rebel, 22x10, -18 offset
Tires: Nitto Ridge Grappler, 325/50R22, it’s basically a 35x13

Lift: Readylift 3/2 kit. I’m not entirely stoked on the kit. Aesthetically yes it’s exactly what I wanted, it’s perfect. But I’m looking for more ride quality. It’s good on for normal driving but things like speed bumps you can tell the travel is limited.

I did partially expect this though, I need something to fit my wheels haha, end goal would be Icons with BDS, but same height.

don't have a whistling sound from mirrors but I noticed my passenger side mirror closes faster then my drivers side for some reason.

Yeah it does!

I still see no Double Cabs around in the inventory yet, well, a bunch of Work Trucks, but not interested in a WT. IF I trade, that would be my cab desire, probably long bed. Far and few between.

Yup mine passenger side closes faster as well. Sounds like that's normal since it's the same for all of us, which is odd haha.

maybe cause they are not the same distance out - would make sense. they are not even 

They aren’t?? I thought they were the same size. They look identical to me

    • Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose  
    • I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose  
    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
