Honestly, even if our 2020 Limited had the power up feature we would almost never use it. I can't tell you the last time either one of us opened the tailgate in the traditional way (lowering it). We almost exclusively open it barn door style because it makes getting things in and out of the...

Non etorque, nice. Congrats on your new (to you) truck!

I don’t have an answer for your question, but what’s a Cummings? I’m just kidding but it’s actually Cummins (no g in there). The guys with the Cummins engine sometimes get a little defensive when people call it a Cummings. I hope someone can help you with this.

That’s the prevailing theory. I’m not sure anyone has actually proven that though. But if I was buying a Ram 1500 that I plan to idle a lot I’d go with the Hurricane. I think you made a good choice.

I see you’re hitting the bottle again tonight. Cheers :ROFLMAO: 🥃 🥃 🥃

Assuming you mean adaptive headlights when you say dynamic. Which means you have a Limited or Longhorn trim level. Unfortunately with those headlights you can’t just replace a bulb. You have to replace the entire headlight assembly.

You’d likely have better luck posting this in a 4th gen forum. 5th gens have a redesigned system and for the most part 5th gens owners havn’t seen the same issues 4th gens owners have had. Our 2020 Limited has been flawless as far as air suspensions goes. And now that we’re in Florida I don’t...

That’s my point…it wouldn’t be a bigger bang for the buck because in order to recoup their development costs they’d necessarily have to increase the price for the trucks with the 6.4, likely out of may buyer’s comfort zone for a 1500. Look at the increased cost of the 5.7 Hemi in 2026 models...

You have no way of knowing how much it cost to put in the Wrangler. My guess is it did cost a lot. Hence the very high sticker price of one. They need to recoup their development costs. And it’s a specialty vehicle not a high volume seller like the 1500 would be. Kind of like the TRX was a...

You’ve been hitting that bottle a little too much if you think it wouldn’t cost that much to adapt the 6.4 for the 1500. But who am I to judge?🥃

I’ve seen other threads where this is discussed. IIRC it’s removable but I think there are mounting holes behind it so it’ll look bad with no badge. If you’re wanting to replace it with a black badge I seem to remember people saying you can’t get just the badge. That was a few years ago...

That’s the beauty of living in a free country…you don’t have to agree with me. You’re missing my point. Stellantis wasn’t interested in spending any more than necessary to offer a 1500 with a V8 again. Upgrading that V8 engine option to the 6.4 would have cost them a lot more in R&D money...

Trust me, I’d love to have that option. But it wouldn’t help their bottom line. Keep in mind that they were likely trying to reintroduce a V8 option at the lowest cost for them to do that. Most Ram 1500 buyers who want a V8 option are satisfied with the 5.7.

Let’s face it, it’s all about the bottom line. Stellantis took it in the nose when they dropped the V8 option from the 1500 line. They needed to stop the bleeding as fast as they could so they brought back the last V8 they had been using. It was the cheapest and fastest option. I doubt that...

I can’t speak for @Trucknut990 but since retiring at the end of 2024 I’ve been using power tools a lot more around the homestead since I have more time for projects at home. And since I’m in Florida now it would be nice to have backup power in case another hurricane decides to make an...
