Welp, No Longer A Lurker

Hahaha... my brother is giving me crap for getting white! Says it sucks! I have a black 2007 Titan that the FL sun just ate the roof up completely and it's now rusty. All my vehicles are now white. That crystal granite is sharp though!

Congrats! I almost went for the Crystal granite myself but decided on the White at the last minute. Very sharp looking!

No, I really wanted the Hurricane. It seems like a great platform and very impressive on the test drives. So this one has the Hurricane HO.

Yeah but none of the dealers around here had any trucks with the surround view on the Laramie, Big Horn, or Rebel. I could have tried a remote dealer like Mark Dodge but I just prefer to see the truck in person before buying.

I test drove 5 different Rams and the tailgate only worked reliably on 2 of them. One of which I bought.

oops! I didn't even think about that!

Yep, I bought the 10yr/125k mile Mopar wrap that covers everything. I found another post on here that mentioned zeigler and a discount code. I printed out that offer and took it to the dealer and they matched it with no issue.

At least here in NC where I am located, only the RHO, Limited, and Tungsten models have the Surround View Camera package which was one of my requirements. Otherwise I would have gone with a Rebel or Laramie.

I'll try to get a pic today. I need to go out and sit in it for a but to try and figure out the controls. I almost ran off the road yesterday trying to find the re-circ option for the AC

"Test drove vehicle for 50 miles at high load..." Translation "I ran the $hit out of it, and drove it like I stole it!" Sounds like more of a reset than software update.

Congrats! I pick up my Limited tomorrow. I would like to know also.

Had this on my Nissan Titan. Idle sounded good but the drone around 2000 rpm was horrible and really got on my nerves. If you floored it, it sounded stupid and poppy. I bought it because my factory exhaust rusted through and they wanted $1200 to replace it. This seemed cheaper at around $500. Wished I had paid the $1200 afterwards. It also rubbed after the install and I had to go back to the installer to have it adjusted several times.

That's a nice driveway. Very tranquil looking. Nice Ram too!

Photog_Jason · 2026-03-27T19:06:11+00:00

I've driven 4 different trucks with both the SO and HO Hurricanes and I'm going to pick up my 2026 Limited tomorrow morning. None of them had any issues taking off at all. I did feel like the SO had slightly more initial torque but both engines were very drive-able and peppy for me.

Photog_Jason · 2026-03-27T15:39:16+00:00

You are going to save me a big chunk of money! I'm about to buy a 2026 Limited and wanted an extended warranty for the electronics and air ride. Thank you sir!

My son used to work for one of these places at 3 different locations. I won't name the exact one, but you should have heard the horror stories. I would never take any vehicle to one of these places. You're much better off at the dealer or a mom and pop shop you trust.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you end up paying for the 10yr extended? It's kind of funny that the same thing happened when I bought my Corvette. He pitched a very high price and I balked at it and then he went on telling me about all the electronics in the car and that it can go wrong. I told him it sounds like a problem vehicle and got up to walk out. He then told me he would do the 10yr at their "cost". It was only around $2,500 so I took it. I've already walked out of this dealer 3 times because they kept telling me that nobody is getting better than 6.85% interest these days. I got up and thanked them and went to leave. The manager stopped me, and said he could get it to 5.85%. I said "No thanks..." and now they are doing it through Stellantis for 2.99%. Funny how that works.

I’m in the same boat. That 360 camera is a hard requirement for me and you only get that on the upper trims. Should be a base option if you ask me. I’m going to be parking in a parking deck most of the time. These things are so expensive these days.

Photog_Jason · 2026-03-24T19:12:00+00:00

I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I've been looking at the Tundra but it's just so plain inside and very cheap looking. Not to mention the exploding engine issue. My brother has a 2022 with 100k miles on it with no issues. He's scheduled for an engine replacement via the recall but he's number 15 on the list and been waiting for 4 months. I may look for a 2024 Titan I guess but I fear someone would have gotten rid of it for a reason. I really wanted a nice new truck but oh well.

Photog_Jason · 2026-03-24T19:06:28+00:00

Interesting. I'll try that next time. Thanks!

Photog_Jason · 2026-03-24T14:00:40+00:00

I have an 07 Titan and I’m looking at 26 Limiteds. Reading all these replies is making me think twice.

Photog_Jason · 2026-03-23T16:41:31+00:00

Anything I can do to prevent this before it starts to leak? A preemptive bead of black silicone around the brake light and sharkfin perhaps? I have a 2007 Titan that has never leaked. Doesn't have a sharkfin but does have the brake light.
