Not good at all.

Have about 20 little scratches on hood that I missed. On top of other issues.

Is that a 5.5’’ shank hitch? Need a new shank for the TRX and not sure if should get 5.5 or 3.5. One from old truck was a 10’’ and will be a tad long now

It's a 6 or 8. From my previous ram sport, I had to drop it two notches to the lowest setting and my little utility trailer is still slightly out of level. Well, until I put anything in it. It takes almost nothing to squat the rear.

So are you saying truck squats badly? Wondering how a boat is going to sag when on..Thought they were a bit stiffer in rear

Soft suspension. Lots of squat. My little utility trailer and zero turn is probably only a couple hundred pounds of tongue weight and it was definitely more noticeable than on my previous ram sport.

I got my Hydro Blue from Tate Dodge in Glen Burnie. Absolutely terrible experience that is ongoing today. I reached out via text to my salesman last week because my temp tag will expire in another week and I have heard nothing on my registration in my state. My salesman calls me to tell me "we undercharged you for the tax/title/tags... you still owe $47.xx". Mind you, this is on a $92k truck with an additional $5k markup ($97k totall) and I was astounded that they would allow $47 to hold all of this up. Anyways, he transfers me to their F&I/title guy who I pay the $47 to via credit card. I convey my disappointment to him in this whole process with Tate as it just seems as though there is a big lack of competence. He says "Ohhhh XXXX (my salesman) didn't call you last week? I told him over a week ago we needed to collect $47 and he was supposed to call you...". I firmly believe if I had not reached out to my salesman that day, this would have not been dealt with. I assumed all is taken care of and I follow up with my state DMV and find that Tate requested a new plate for me despite me requesting they transfer my vanity plate, multiple times, and the sales manager as well as well as my salesman assured me it would be handled correctly.

TLDR - DO NOT BUY FROM TATE DODGE

AMEN brother. They suck. Definitely no PDI done,lack any interest in the customer like no big deal someone buying $90K truck..Just sucks or maybe a good thing they are to far away to deal with and will stick with a local dealer. Will fix what I can from lack of PDI myself. Salespeople are like robots with no emotion,no social skills. You just sit there and do the deal no interaction at all.

I sent my salesman the PDF from here asking him to have his PDI guys go through it. My salesman assured me that Tate takes their PDI process very seriously and he would personally monitor the PDI process, which was obviously a lie as Tate is not going to allow a salesman to waste time watching a PDI. The only issue I have found on mine is the passenger side exhaust tip is about 1/2" lower than the driver's side. I will eventually fix it when I get the truck on a lift for its oil change.

I have never experienced such incompetence from a dealer than I did with Tate Dodge. Terrible experience and a terrible dealer.

I asked for 1 specific thing to look at, 1 thing. I asked for them to check the fuses to make sure all seated. Want to guess what was not done. Got home and majority were all not seated.

I got my truck with no graphics but always dug the hood decal, not so much the rear bed side ones. Found a black TRX with the red accent hood decal and it looked awesome. Matches the 6.2 supercharged badge and I wonder if it will look as good on the blue truck.
Thinking about ordering today, here's a pic of the decal on a granite crystal
