And it tows my boat......which won't fit on a roof rack....even a RAM1500 roof rack.
To be fair if it's not bags of cotton wool, foam exercise mats or helium balloons, you wouldn't be carrying it anywhere on a Ram, roof or not. I suspect just attaching the roof racks would put a serious dent in your payload allowance.

I have number one and number two on the list, so Ill be skipping the semi's and heading straight into the final, go me.

In regards to Jeeps, and I'm certainly no engineer, but wouldn't the cars producing the smoke be the ones that are actually running

(I wouldn't be surprised to discover all these dibba dobba EPA reports are all signed D'Rover)

@Bluey must be setting up the Mighty 'Cruisota with its stylish roof rack, certainly going to be stylish, right out of the " Drovers Book of Mods".

I had a swag once, right up until I discovered the ground was hard, plus I wasn't getting paid to sleep on dirt, bugs and other wildlife.

I havent reached age yet where proper camping has left me behind :boink:

Swag was surrounded by Dingo prints in the red sand, this morning

Thats certainly whats needed for your boat @Bluey, will sit and plane better and easier to steer......cavitation plate should be about level with bottom of hull, at least thats what I found out when setting up mine properly from the local boat place.... ....

I must say it seems better to drive with the alloys or its just me thinking it

Are the rims the same size? just swapped tyres over, or did the new alloys come with tyres on them? The alloys will be noticeably lighter than the steel radials as it is.
