I lock my powered running boards in the out position on my F250 when I park....it does stop the door dings

That's a great idea. Did you have the button to lock them out and just stepped on them so they didn't go up.

These ones are controlled in the Menu of the truck...so it is a quick option...

the easy way when you park...leave plenty of room on the passenger side...so the hits if any would be driver side...when you get out and close the door...you place your foot on the step for 1 second.. the step stays down....safety feature so it doesn't kill four year olds...

Ok. That's how I do mine now to get them to stay

down. Apparently they have a button now to control them up or down.

doubt a truck of this size will fit in any kind of carwash!

I fit my Power Wagon in the Mister Car Wash and it has a level kit on it. Trust me though, I was nervous the first time

I am so getting this; no more door dings from the 15 year old beater.

That's what I did on my f250 platinum instead of going thru the menu options

I just tried it on my Long Horn. Works great! Takes about 3 seconds though.
Have to wait till it trys to go up. Kinda looks funny on a low truck

Cold air kit to increase supercharger whine. Factory air cleaner is huge and blocks view of engine

I’ll be curious about the aftermarket options for this as stock looks rather larger than say challenger stock CAI. I got a Legmaker on my hellcat and it’s quite intoxicating

KnightMare · Sep 19, 2020

Yeah I'd love to see what comes out, I know someone is going to get this truck in the 3 seconds 0-60 range...

I've been looking at all the cars we can keep up with stock

4 Second Cars 0-60 Times | Find Cars with 0 to 60 Times from 4-4.99 Seconds | Four Second Club

Find Cars with Four Second 0 to 60 Times Find cars that accelerate to 60 miles per hour between 4-4.99 seconds. These fast cars referred to as “4 second cars” were once relatively unheard of in the automotive world, although in recent years have become more prevalent. Outside of factory stock...

Probably window tint, ceramic coated, and hopefully aftermarket intake to really get that supercharger whine out. Gotta do rock lights. Custom exhaust and maybe strobes. I have a modification problem.

tkdr6 · Sep 20, 2020

Nothing major. Tint the windows, Line-X bedliner, and Pace Edwards ultra groove metal tonneau cover with integrated T-slot rails for installing cross-bars over top of your bed to hold bikes, snowboards, tents or any other gear.

Went with the factory Mopar step option.

37" tires and hot lady in the passenger seat. Now give me my founding member badge!

I have a few questions as a new member. Why would anyone change things like:
CAI(they make the engine noise too loud and you can’t hear the exhaust)
Exhaust (this was specifically designed by real engineers for this truck and its sound, you will only lose HP likely and Change the exhaust note negatively)
Tires other than size maybe. I understand the appeal of 37‘. But GY designed these tires for the TRX (So say). I have run all types of tires on my SC’d, KING susp Tundra. They are all good. But these really look like an idea all season aggressive get after it tires. I will see how they perform before I change them, including in the snow.
And the worst mod I have read is the added lift. That will drastically change performance and handling. This truck has been scrutinized for 1000’s of miles and about 5 yrs in the build. Don’t mess that up.
Thats my $0.02 for what it’s worth.

My planned mods as I see it now will be for protection of the vehicle. Shortlist is:
Ceramic coating of some sort
AMP bars possibly after reading about the door ding protection
New wheels as I like to change the style just ever so slightly.

I hope I’m not coming off too negative confrontational in my first post. I don’t mean to offend anyone.

Yeah I have to agree.... not for nothing but the engineering and design were done by professional truck engineers. They could have easily just taken the hellcat motor and stuck it in the bay of an existing 1500. They elected to redesign and totally revamp the structural platform and took 4 years to make sure they got it right. I for one don’t have any experience with mods of my vehicles except for cosmetic and bumpers. I am hoping that they got it really right and I won’t have to jump down that rabbit hole. ( not that I won’t like watching those of you who have experience do that) I mean 0-60 in 4.5 sec for a 6350lb truck seems plenty fast for me. Thanks for the post and welcome to the Madness!

No you take delivery of the truck first. Most of the time it is worth it..until the noise gets tiresome..the extra stress will eventually cause you to spend more in an attempt to justify the looks...

We can talk about 37s later hahaha

If you check out the hellcat forums you'll see proven combinations that have increase HP with them. SRT designed this truck as well and when people get there hands on these trucks we'll probably see similar HP gains from essentially the same engine.

And besides, with ANC enabled, I need everything to be higher any way
