My 2025 Laramie has three skid plates. Here they are...

My Lasfit tail and backup lights are working fine without interference or any other weirdness.

I fully agree. These LED lights are a thousand times better than the stock lights. I tried another brand that didn’t fit at all and I returned them. Lasfit were easy to install and have worked perfectly.

I haven't done any real off-roading unless you count our dirt road. I do pop off and on the pavement quite a bit on single-lane roads to let a car pass. Everything is really solid and quiet, and the alignment is perfect. My local mechanic, who is a Rubicon off-roader, likes how adjustable the...

I put the Carli Commuters on my 2025 Laramie with the ORP. The ride got a lot smoother on the rough rural roads around here. They are not as firm as the ORP shocks, but the truck still handles great while driving on curvy canyon roads. I got about 1 1/2" lift in front and 1" in back with the HD...

I have the Off Road Package without air suspension. Both front and back should be 1” taller. The leveling kits out there generally point this out when stating their lift heights.

Wireless CarPlay on my Laramie with a 14” screen has had no issues. It connects within a few seconds after turning on the truck and never disconnects. I have an iPhone 16 which is up to date and so is Uconnect. In the past six months, a few times the SiriusXM channels have went dead. However...

I’m waiting for the “Oil change required” message to appear. I assume it shows up closer to 0%. Mine is at 20% with 8000 miles. Modern synthetic oils can last 10000 miles. I have oil and a filter ready for when I get the notification.

For my 2025 Laramie, the vehicle health updates around one a day. The trips and fuel level update more frequently. I’m sure it depends on the connectivity to AT&T. I’m rural, so the cell service comes and goes.

Unless you can do it yourself, I’d have them drain the oil and check how much comes out. I haven’t changed my 2025’s oil yet, but from past experience with my Tundra, not all the oil drains. So I would expect about 6.5 quarts will drain in the Ram 3.0. I’d refill with 6 quarts and check the...

According to the manual, it looks like each notch is 1/4 quart from min to max. Which makes sense since it says to add one quart when you get a low oil level warning.

Not to nitpick, but the owner's manual is a little more specific on the oil level refresh steps... ● Run the engine until the oil temperature is above 180°F (82°C). ● Park the vehicle on relatively level ground. ● Turn the engine off and cycle the ignition back to the RUN position. Wait four...

I assume the dealer checked that you had the latest Uconnect update? You can check it here: Uconnect® Software Update Center: For Stellantis Vehicles After the last Uconnect update, I did a factory reset from the Vehicle Settings, and I have not had a buzz since then.

It does the same on my 2025 Laramie. I don't notice it much because the truck is parked away from the house. It hasn't caused any issues for me. Overall, this truck makes a variety of strange sounds, but it starts and runs perfectly, so I am not going to complain.

The front drive shaft still spins in 2WD when driving slow, even though the OR pages now show it not "locked". The back tires will spin on loose ground in 2WD, so I know the front axle is not getting much (if any) power in 2WD. I've read that the BW 48-11 transfer case does not really "lock"...
