    Poor gas mileage

    Some folks are okay with the mpg and that's fine...one less thing to worry about. But, acceptance of a wrong doesn't necessarily make that wrong acceptable. Some people (including myself) expect delivery of RAM's promised performance. It this wasn't a valid case, experts like TFL and...

    Poor gas mileage

    Here's the published reports again for anyone interested in reading up on third-party testing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpIfBcULiD8 https://youtu.be/FM7g-NiXK-s https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1127549_fca-has-the-highest-percentage-of-hybrids-but-the-lowest-fleet-mpg-why...

    Poor gas mileage

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I'm getting similar, disappointing gas mileage as shown in the third-party publications I shared. They felt compelled enough to highlight the poor MPG performance of the eTorque. My experience with the engine supports their results. Ford and...

    Poor gas mileage

    Thankfully, there are ALOT of third-parties calling Ram's bluff on the Etorque mpg. Ram customer service may say they are 'unaware' of the issue, but I don't see how that is true with all the reports of terrible mpg not even coming close to the marketed values. I purchased my RAM and paid...

    Poor gas mileage

    Correction. I was misinformed by RAM Customer Care. The NHTSA doesn't deal with mpg issues. Please disregard the NHTSA part.

    Poor gas mileage

    I just talked with RAM Customer Care at 1-800-992-1997 to report and open a case on the issue. I suggest others do the same to show volume...strength in numbers. They also told me to call NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236 as NHTSA is the one that actually advocates for the recalls with the manufacturers.

    Same here. I feel for everyone with worse results.

    Poor gas mileage

    I don't consider myself "lucky", just maybe not as bad off. I paid the extra $$ for the 17/22 published number and that's what I expect to be close to. From 'The Fast Lane' episode, it doesn't appear that Ford or Chevy have trouble meeting published performance.

    New 12" Uconnect Software Version 19.33.11? New Update 19.43.1a

    No AA or car play at the time...just satellite radio. I went through all the options and it didn't help. I received the software update last Friday, so I'm hoping the issues will disappear....only time will tell.

    Poor gas mileage

    I've been experiencing the same issues with my 2020 Rebel. I spent the extra $$ for the Etorque's better mpg and haven't see it deliver. This weekend, I just happened to watch 'The Fast Lane' podcast on mpg testing across the three brands. Although the Trail Boss and Raptor had lower...

    New 12" Uconnect Software Version 19.33.11? New Update 19.43.1a

    From my experience, I don't think the sound issues are limited to phone connections and more system wide. I had no sound from radio (either satellite or radio) last week. Volume was turned up to 75% with no sound. Restarting the truck did nothing.....only started working again that following...

    Rain sensing wipers didn't work today in the rain.

    Hi Jus Cruisin., Not sure why I need to tell you where I live. I thought this was a truck information forum and not a dating site? The hashtag is valid. I purchased a 2020 Rebel in January and it's been it the for service 3 times with very few issues resolved. The last time the dealership...

    2019 12 inch screen issues when cold

    Yes. I had this happen last month on my new 2020 Rebel. The U Connect and all controls froze during a snow storm. Restarting didn't solve. You would think Ram would put more V&V into a system that controls 90% of the cars accessories. Trying to work with RAM on these issues has been an...

    Rain sensing wipers didn't work today in the rain.

    I've had my 2020 Rebel for 3 weeks and the rain sensing wipers aren't working. Not sure if they ever worked. I haven't had time to put anything on the windshield in the 3 weeks of ownership. #$50KRAMmistake.
