Same story here… I took the Zeigler price into my dealer when I bought my ‘19 Ltd and they matched it. Avoid 3rd party warrantees like the garbage they are! They love to sell you ‘refundable’ coverage: if you don’t use it, we’ll refund you! What they don’t mention is that they’ll likely be out...

Evening LOWRMPG…you now know someone who came here before buying his 2019 LTD! 😎 Before ANY major purchase I scope out forums, review sites, etc…collect a list of the pros and cons noted and then dig deep with my own research. I consider a review anywhere to just be an info source that can help...

Here’s the pdf of the news report if the link doesn't work for you…

In the case of my ‘19 Ltd, it sat in a rail yard 3+ weeks… until I raised enough stink that the dealer called (then) FCA and someone from corp had to tell the $@+%*&$+ ‘B’ running the yard to release the damned truck. The railyard contracts are at the corp level and the dealers are hog-tied.

Well son of a…… At least I’m no longer a poor 24yo with no money or a clue…now I’m a crotchety 63 yr old who takes great joy verbally flailing the skin off service people who don’t actually provide ‘service’😏

I had a non-OEM replacement in February. The installer (local, independent) said upfront they couldn’t do a recalibration due to proprietory software he didn’t have access to. Also said that I shouldn't need a recalibration because he didn’t disconnect the battery during the replacement. Don’t...

Flashback 1985! I had a Sentra and the front axle was making odd noises. Turned out the bearing lube was just a grease pack in a rubber cup (basically a toilet plunger on the axle cupping the wheel) and Midwest road salt destroyed the rubber cup. No bearing on this post, but I’m sure it’s why I...

Same issue on my ‘19 Ltd and it was covered quickly by the local dealer here in Conroe when we moved to Houston area (ABQ dealer where I bought/serviced for 4 yr kept telling me to ‘clean’ up under the cab and said it would’nt be covered under the warranty). Sadly, it’s always the lowest common...

I have a similar (except off-road) 2019 and avg 18-19 mpg. Based on your screen name, I assume you’re in TX. I avoid Pilot/Flying J and the like as they took my mileage to 13-14. Sam’s 14-15, HEB: 15-16, Valero: 12-13. the ‘premium’ brands have always done better for me: Shell: 19-20, BP: 17-18...

We’re just north of Houston and boy did you just hit the bulls-eye! Part of my interest in the Ramcharger is the ability to send current to the house in an emergency. I’m also now digging into ”solar generators” (really a digital power source with expandable batteries) with portable solar array...

Just because it isn't on a RAM currently doesn't make it new...just makes it not currently on a RAM. And the Ramcharger isn't slated to have a giant battery...quite a modest battery compared to the REV. If the Ramcharger was totally new tech, I personally wouldn't touch it for at least 3 years...

Better from Rohini than his/her co-worker BOHICA….🤪

Flashback!!! I had to ride in the rear facing seat once…projectile puking at the big closed rear window ensured they never did that to me again!🤢😵‍💫

I’ve never had trouble with OEM nav…other than the usual new roads, reconfigured highway interchanges, etc (Tulsa, OK seems to be particularly bad on that front). Only time it failed me was Dodge City, KS…where it wanted me to drive thru the lobby of a Holiday Inn. Thankfully nothing like the...

First time I rented a 2500 I thought ’not bad’. Second time they gave me a Silverado… I couldnt believe how bad it was. “like a rock” must refer to the suspension! Since then, I’ve insisted on 2500’s and while they aren’t my 1500 Ltd to be sure, they’ve been more than tolerable to me.
