ram 1500 2013-2014 as toad
looking at 2014 ram 1500 as toad. Will use existing readybrute towbar with roadmaster brackets. Will I have to trim any fascia for brackets? Unsure if I want to do that to a brand new vehicle. Any...

FIRE UP: Nice post. Back in 2011 when I was in the market for a new pickup, I found GM had the most (for 4-down). Any Chrysler products I was not interested in.
I simply like Ford pickups. I would have preferred a F-150, but I can only tow "up to 5000 pounds". So, a smaller truck was the way to go for me.
I have my 2011 Ranger auto 4WD. I had the dealer install the "Transfer Case Neutral Kit"..."Ford only" for $400 installed....I think it's a rip-off, but I wanted it...they got it (ONLY them) so there it is.
Towing that with no problems...also 2007 Chevy HHR automatic. Again, no problems.
Jerseyjim,
Thanks for the nice comment. I've liked Fords most of my life and would have purchased one if, Ford would have pulled it's head out of its a.. but, it took them all the way to 2012 to finally get it right. So, we could not afford a 2012 Ford so, we got an '11 GMC and, we both really like it. Yep, that "NTK" from Ford is definitely a rip off. Like stated earlier, it's nothing but an LED in a bracket and, a little reprogramming of the ECM.
But, they have people by the short hairs on this, IF, they want to tow a Ranger. Too bad.
