Oddly enough, I did an experiment a month ago, where I started accelerating fairly heavy from dead stops to quickly get up to posted speed limit and then let off the gas and would let the truck shift all the way into eighth gear and kind of just coast for as long as I possibly could. Doing this...

Nice! My wife drives the truck (it’s hers) and she does idle dropping kids off at school and picking up, but I’ve never seen a vehicle drop MPG so fast from small amounts of idle… maybe I’m just ignorant, but in all the years of me, owning and driving trucks, I honestly have never seen MPG drop...

If anyone’s interested, here’s an update after 3 months of mixed (city/highway) driving here in flat Arizona. MPG sucks no matter what we do. Hand calcs back this up with +/- 1 mpg. No winter blend fuel here either. Pretty bummed because for the payments on this truck I could’ve went with the...

I do not have these on my bumper. I’ve been trying to look up wiring diagrams online to see if that could be it.

I will go check

2025 Laramie 1500 Driver side just under rear door by frame mount, noticed a harness just hanging. It’s clipped to the frame properly above the harness itself, so doesn’t seem like it got ripped out or unplugged from anything (there’s nothing close by where it could plug to). Not a fan of how...

Is there a setting for this that I’m missing? I’ve combed through all Bluetooth/Audio settings and had no luck. It’s driving me bonkers. Every time I’m listening to music and get a notification, or send a text while connected via Bluetooth, the music cuts off from the front speakers in the...

No so much worried about MPG. Just wanted to know if there was an “official” break in statement from manufacturer to follow. I’m well aware taking an algorithmic average from a very small sample size will be volatile. More miles will smooth that out. Was more just making a statement on how...

I did see this yesterday posted for a 5.7L, can’t personally find it in my Owners Manual for the life of me, but good general guidelines to follow with any new vehicle. Thank you.

Just picked up a 2025 Laramie with the SO motor. Rolled it off the dealer lot with 50mi on the odometer and we’re now at 79mi. The MPG has gone from a whopping 10.5 off the lot to an average of 12.8, and my wife and I have been driving it like a baby… Is there a standard break in period for...

And just for fun, here is a dealer in OK last year for their Truck Month promo ad on TV/YouTube… Up to $23,000 off…ha.

For those wondering, my local dealers are running roughly $9,000-$10,000 off MSRP for “Presidents Day” sales, or just in general this month. Highest discounted seem to be the 2WD BigHorn models for obvious reasons, although I have seen a few loaded Laramie models at $10,000 off…

yes, 13-15% below MSRP after all applied rebates. I just got a price quote for a 22 BigHorn 1500 4x2 Crew with MSRP of $49,975 for $41,193 OTD. It's an "in transit" vehicle, but no ETA or ship date yet...

I have been speaking with Sandi and Renea.

This might explain the salesman’s constant pushing for me to sign papers. He did use the terms “lock you in” multiple times…
