This is the exact topic. New energy sources are not cleaner (solar and wind). They just aren’t required to account for their forms of pollution. So the move to electric vehicles is destructive, not an advancement; at least not in any environmental or economic sense.

Warlocks are going for 31-32k where I live ($11,000 off) but they are all quad cab V6 versions. If that fits your needs, they are a good deal. I got one on a lease last year for about $150\month with zero down. I think the Warlock looks better than any version of the 5th gen, and it comes with...

If they were being honest they would call it a coal-powered Ram. Just because other companies are lying to their customers doesn’t make it right.

It completely depends on what type of snow it is. Anything can plow through several feet of light powder, but for standard moderate stuff that is too dense to plow through, it’s whatever gets you high-centered (in my experience at least). Side steps can get hung up on the snow, etc on snow not...

Even with a full wheel liner, mud and gravel will still get up on top of it. This was a major source of rust with the 4th gen pickups. I recommend cleaning up on the interior side of the liner occasionally. I can reach underneath from behind on my 4th gen and rinse it off pretty well, but I have...

I’m still upset RAM cheaped out in this regard. It’s a downgrade from the prior generation. Luckily my 2019 Classic still has them standard. Hardly any dealers here have this option in their trucks for sale.

Yeah, I’m referring to doing it myself. I can get good synthetic oil (any name brand, Mobil, Pennzoil, etc) and a filter for $20 at any auto parts store here. My main point was just that I can change diesel on a class 9 combine harvester for under $100, and it uses about 7 gallons of oil, and it...

Sheesh, $200+ oil changes seem ridiculous. I can change oil on a semi, tractor, or combine harvester for half that price. Half ton gas pickups cost maybe $20 for a full synthetic oil change and filter and heavy duty diesel engine oil is under $8 per gallon here.

There had better be a towing package without this option.

I like giving owners the ability to do things like disable MDS (thanks EPA for not letting us), but I still don’t see any downsides to it personally. I’ve had 4 5.7 Hemi vehicles with MDS including a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee, a Dodge Charger, and 2 Rams. Over several hundred thousand miles I’ve...

These sprayers are routinely towed in the 55mph range.

Flex fuel capability on all gas engines

Yeah, there’s no way it would work with water in that sprayer. It would push the hitch down to the ground before I would even be able to get it off the trailer jack. The sprayer probably only weighs maybe 6000 lbs, give or take a thousand. It just puts a huge amount of the weight onto the tongue...

That’s an 1,100 gallon field sprayer. I have no idea what this weighs; I just know it looks awful, haha. No trailer brakes here, of course, and ready for a 500 mile trip. Pentastar V6 power!

In this case I meant for the old timers at the auto and Ag parts stores to be my source. There is a lot of disinformation about ethanol (usually from someone either trying to sell a product using fear, or in the oil business and just angry that ethanol exists) and being involved in both oil and...
