    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    I've owned a 2014 with the 5.7, put 150K on it without much issue, traded it for a 2022 again with the 5.7 and kept it until last year. My dealer offered me a trade on a 2025 Laramie with the standard SST 3 liter and it has more power than the old 5.7. I don't tow with it or haul heavy loads...

    Thinking about swapping my 2022 5.7 ETorque For A 2025 3.0SO

    I traded my 2022 Longhorn 5.7 for a 2025 Laramie with the standard SST 3 liter. Of course the Laramie is a nicer interior overall plus I have options not included in the Longhorn such as heated and A/C seats, a huge center display monitor and adaptive cruise control. I don't use the adaptive...

    The HEMI V8 Is Back: 2026 Ram 1500 Brings Power and Choice

    I think that bringing back the 5.7L Hemi was a good marketing move. My dealer talked me into trading my 2023 Hemi in for a 2025 SST and until I drove it was not impressed with the news of the Hemi's passing in the half ton lineup. However, a test drive with the SST convinced me to make the trade...

    Ram resurrects Hemi engine - Can I get a swap?

    I was quite surprised when they dropped the 5.7L Hemi from the half ton market as they built a pretty good reputation with the Hemi over several years. However, my dealer convinced me to trade my 2023 Hemi for a 2025 SST and other than the idiot who decided to take away the physical dipstick, I...

    Oil Level?

    I really hate not having a dip stick.

    Is the term "grocery getter" offensive to you

    The term "Grocery Getter" bothers me not. Eating is a bad habit I picked up as a child!

    Hurricane Gas mileage

    I have a 2025 Laramie with the SO 3 liter. I've run nothing but premium 91 octane since new. Getting 24 mpg average which surprised me at this altitude-7000 ft.

    Unintended Steering Behavior at Moderate Speed

    I have that lane keeping feature or whatever Ram calls it on my 2025 Laramie and at first it was sort of bothersome-the steering wheel giving a minor and very unexpected jerk. At first I disabled the feature-there is a button on the upper dash to allow you to do that, but after I got used to the...

    Oil Level?

    If this had happened in the first oil change that might be something to investigate, but in my particular case, the overfill warning did not begin until the 4th oil change, and all of them had been filled to the manual's recommended level. So far, running 6 quarts in the pan has netted me a...

    Oil Level?

    UPDATE: Just came home from a long loop of highway driving. Went down to Denver and took I-70 up to the Eisenhower tunnel, elevation going from 5280 to over 11,000 feet. Oil temp stayed around 205-210 degrees, water temp at about 205 degrees. Oil pressure going up the mountain varied from 25 to...

    Oil Level?

    Maybe, but if that is the case, why didn't the overfill warning show up for 3000 miles???

    Oil Level?

    2025 Laramie 4x4 3.0 SST std output engine. 25k miles. Been doing oil changes at 5k religiously @ the dealership. Last oil change at 20k and the oil level registered normal. 3k into it and all of a sudden my oil overfilled warning came on. Took it to the dealership and they changed the oil as a...

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    Bought my 2025 Laramie three weeks ago. Have put 3000 miles on it mainly because it's so fun to drive. I miss the sound of the Hemi I had in my 2022 but this 3.0 seems to have more torque and HP. The twin turbochargers really help it at high altitude-went up and down the Eisenhower Tunnel on...
