• Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2018 Ram 1500 Laramie with Chrome Mirrors
• If you want to keep the chrome mirrors on your 2018 Ram 1500 Laramie then I recommend using the Longview Custom Towing Mirrors # LVT-3100C which are the only slip-on mirrors that are compatible with the chrome mirrors.

If keeping the chrome mirrors isn't as essential for you then I highly recommend...

• Ladder Rack for 2016 Ram Rebel 1500 for Use with Roof Tent
• The Inno Truck Bed Cargo Rack # INRT101-79 features square crossbars that are rated for 110-lbs total load on both.

• Which Adarac Truck Ladder Rack is Compatible with the BAK Bakflip MX4
• I do have a solution that will allow you to use the BAKFlip MX4 on your 2020 Ram 1500, but the Adarac Custom Truck Ladder Rack # A70450 doesn't allow a hard roll cover to properly roll up because the arms are slanted inwards over the truck bed. Instead of the Adarac Custom, I recommend using the Adarac Pro Series # A4000965, since it is confirmed to work with a BAKFlip MX4. For the tonneau cover, the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum - Matte Finish # BAK448227 is the...

• Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2014 Ram 1500 Long Bed and is Payload Part of Towing Capacity
• Some vehicle manufacturers differentiate between towing capacity for pull trailers and fifth wheel trailers but there was nothing I could find for a 2014 Ram 1500 which stated there was a difference in towing capacity depending on the type of trailer. Additionally I took a look at an online copy of your 2014 Ram 1500 and it stated that a 4x4 Laramie with a 5.7L V8 and automatic transmission had a max towing capacity of 10,050 lbs and max payload capacity of 1,390 lbs.

• Yes, the K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors # KS80730 you found are the correct mirrors for your 2022 Ram 1500. These custom fit mirrors have the cutouts for the puddle lights and turn signals you have on your mirrors. I recommend when you get them practice putting them on and taking them off a few times as there they can be a bit cumbersome the first time finding the exact way to put them on.

• Larger Drop Leg for Lippert A-Frame Trailer Jack
• The legs from Bulldog have a different outer diameter than the drop leg for the Lippert Electric Trailer Jack # LC285318. So if you were looking for drop leg that is larger than the footplate that comes with this jack, the part that fits is the Drop Leg for Lippert Components Power Jack # LC405217. This is a 9 inch diameter footplate (compared to the 5-1/2 inch diameter footplate that comes with the jack) and also gives an added 4-1/2 inches of additional lift.

• Can Maxxair MA00-06401K Vent Be Left Open While Traveling at Highway Speeds?
• I reached out to my tech contact at MaxxFan and confirmed the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan - Manual Lift - 4 Speed - Smoke # MA00-06401K can be left open while traveling at highway speeds. You won't need to have the cover like the more traditional vent to allow that because the design of the unit accounts for it when installed correctly.

• Tonneau Cover Recommendation for 2022 Ram 1500 with 5-1/2 Foot RamBox with Utility Track System
• We do have some other options that will fit your application, but the Lomax Hard Tonneau Cover # LOM54FR that you referenced will not fit with the utility rails on your 2022 Ram 1500. For something that does fit the utility rails on your 5-1/2' RamBox bed I recommend checking out the BAKFlip G2 # BAK226227RB or MX4 # BAK448227RB. The G2 has the glossy aluminum finish while the MX4 has the durability of the aluminum but the matte finish so it's a little more subtle and sleek looking. These...
