104mph limit

[PHANTUMRAM]

All our past hemi trucks topped out at 103-104.

 

[Jus Cruisin]

That speed likely maxes out the speed the tires are designed for.

That's why they put the limiter on the trucks is to keep you from killing yourself lol

True i wanted to really open it up ...why not put a 100mph speedometer in it

Has to do with keeping the needle in the 'middle' of the speedometer. Read somewhere that people are more excited or likely to buy if the have "more power than the need" or something like that.

Major differences: Grille, wheels, badging (obviously), and interior. The Limited comes with more standard features, but there is nothing on the Limited that you can't option on the Longhorn. This means that if you load up both, the Longhorn will cost a little more. So it comes down to the look that you want.

In my opinion, there should be no "Laramie" in the name. The Longhorn and Limited are both top-trim trucks, and they are far more similar than the Laramie is to the Laramie Longhorn. The Laramie is a completely different model that sits squarely in the middle of the trim lineup.

Very true about the Laramie being in the middle of the trim lineup but you can also add more options to the Laramie. For example you can’t have the black appearance package and multifunctional tailgate. I just ordered a 2020 Laramie night edition with every option because I couldn’t get the limited with every option. The only thing I liked better about the limited is the black “wood trim”

That sucks for those of us that have aftermarket tires with a 149 mile rating.

My 2019 ram 1500 Laramie sport package Etouque only tops out at 104 mph then the power gets cut ..... Very disappointed

Yes me too speedometer reads to 120 but truck wont go past 105. I think thats BS false advertising on Ram Trucks

I know this thread is old, but how many people are entering the cannonball run in their pickups?

Where do they advertise the truck can go 120mph? You can *make* the truck go 120mph, and the speedometer will read it... but it doesn't do that from the factory for a reason.

FCA makes $60k V8-powered vehicles that do well over 120 from the factory.. they just aren't trucks

I went 85mph last week
...45 to 85mph in 3 seconds with my JMS PedalMax set at about 60%
I thought that was pretty decent...with the A/T tires I have and all...

I drove 33 in a 30 today. I'm such a rebel. Hard to find anywhere to open up safely on an island, plus HPD is everywhere.

LOL, I said the same this year on Maui.

Just trade for a 2921 Durango R/T with the Tow & Go package---max speed 145 mph; or the Durango SRT with 6.4 hemi with no speed limiter.

I saw that, if I was in the market for an SUV it would be on the top of my list.

 

[BowDown]

This truck doesn't have enough brakes for 100+ mph much less the fact thats there's too much mass too high for it to be recoverable if something happens

Seems I was 900 years in the future with the above post; well, cats out of the bag now folks---yes, in 2921 time travel has been invented and I am here 900 years in the past on vacation.

 

[kapinallinen2]

I know some people are into the numbers and such, but I don't care if my truck goes over 100. As people have said there's way better cars for that and I have no interest in rolling at that speed. I'm too full from Thanksgiving to go that fast anyway


Just waiting for the MPG at 100MPH to get started lol

Little late here but it is not very good. 2 MPG getting there, 4 MPG maintaining.

The brakes are fine! This with a RTT and 400 pounds of gear on the bed.
The tires become an issue.

Stick to your GM or Ford then? Most likely the same scenario.

That is pretty much the case on all vehicles since the 1980's. The speedometer almost always goes higher then what the limiters allow.
