    2021 eco diesel gas mileage

    Limited 4x4 with 3.92 and Falken Wildpeak A/T 285 60 20. Get 28 mpg on highway under 70 mph. About 25 mpg at 80+ mph. 22 mpg in town.

    Some Real World MPG Numbers

    Eco-diesel 4x4 Limited with 3.92. Falken Wildpeak in 275-60-20 22 mpg in town. I get up to 28 on the highway. But going over 70 mph brings that down to 25 because the 3.92 gearing (I believe). A/C running all the time although it shouldn't make any noticeable difference with this big engine...

    Is Air Suspension really that great?

    There's something else I don't see mentioned: you can get great mileage on the highway in Aero mode then turn off on a rough road to go hunting or camping and lift it 2 inches for great off road clearance. I love it so far. I may change my tune if/when it breaks.

    Went up a size from 275/55/20 to 275/60/20. Should I recalibrate?

    What does everyone do about their spares? My stock spare is 31.5" diameter. I figure a bigger spare would be a good idea. Has anyone gotten something like a 275/70-18 (33.1") and put that on the existing 18" spare rim?

    Went up a size from 275/55/20 to 275/60/20. Should I recalibrate?

    I just did this same thing and honestly can't tell the difference. I was used to having the speedo off a couple mph at 70 in my Jeep anyway. And what does it matter if it shifts at 1 or 2 mph different spot? For what it's worth, it's a diesel with the 3.92 gearing. Might pay the dealer at some...

    Best Hard Tonneau Cover for 2019 1500 5'7" bed

    Maybe this is a stupid question, but can you add a rack system with any of these covers? Or do you have to get a specific cover that supports adding racks like Yakima, etc.

    Ram Limited 2021

    The dealer is full of crap. It's under warranty, they have to fix it. Can you reach out to FCA?

    100% stock 2021 limited want to start doing some light overlanding.

    I've taken my Limited on some pretty rough stuff with just stock tires. With the air suspension anti-spin diff and protection group it seems pretty capable out of the box. And I'm coming from a Jeep Wrangler. Maybe just go for it and see what you need. Basic recovery gear is always a good idea...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I'm sure I could have done a better. But this is without negotiating, just shopping around: 2021 Limited MSRP $69,860 Dealer discount: $8,296 Incentives ($1500 + $500 for financing = $2,000) Selling Price: 58,964. Almost 16% under MSRP $700 dealer fees (high but I was pretty happy with the...
