    $1200/mo lease payment for 60 mos

    There is just way too much factored into leasing to really discuss the details on a forum. Each individual situation differs and blanket statements like you should never put money down or trade-in or leases are more expensive than purchase don't always apply. I've leased a 2018, 2021 and now...

    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    Reading the article on the 2025 changes I just noticed that not only did they remove the amber turn signals in the rear but apparently everything below longhorn limited now has incandescent taillights and front turn signal bulbs. Seems thos was a cost saving measure to include standard LED...

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    I'm also a pacifica PHEV and Ram 1500 owner excited by the Ramcharger. I love our Pacifica PHEV and a truck version would be very compelling.

    '24 vs '25 1500 Features & Value Differences

    Using the Big Horn example and adjusting for inflation the non-inflation related increase is only about $1,300 from 2019 - 2025. Not saying that makes it any easier to stomach but given the cost of almost everything has increased at or above the rate of inflation it is relevant in the...

    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    Just realized after watching the latest Alex on Autos video on the 2025 that the new taillights don't have amber turn signals/hazards! That is actually sort of a big deal for me. Looking at the stats having amber vs red turn signals significantly improves safety even more so that the...

    Barricade Pinnacle 4-Inch Oval Bent End Side Step Bars Are Noisy!

    My Westin nerf bars are loud like that in certain slush or water situations - I assume it is just the sound of the slush on a hollow metal tube and accept it as normal

    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    Lots of assumptions from folks about what is possible on trading trucks every few years. I financed a 2014 BH CC that I traded on a 19 BH CC lease, traded for a 21 Laramie CC lease and then traded for a 23 Laramie CC lease with substantial upgrades each time. I put money down on the original...

    Trailer back-up camera using UConnect

    This part will only give you the option if your truck has the trailer camera prep package ($590 option) and then have this part ($1,500 part) for a total cost of over 2k for a trailer backup camera. If like me you don't have the prep kit from the factory it is much more complex and likely...

    TFL Trucks - 2025 Ram 1500

    The engine only starts when the battery needs a charge or the motors need additional power like towing on steep grades as I understand it.

    TFL Trucks - 2025 Ram 1500

    I would not buy a tungsten for many reasons but in particular the payload issues you raise. That said I would also never buy a truck with ramboxes because I always have a topper on my truck and they don't work with the ramboxes. I also always buy the 6'4" bed and that can't be had with...

    TFL Trucks - 2025 Ram 1500

    Same for me - our 2nd vehicle is a pacifica plug-in and we drive 70% of the time on elec for much less $$ than gas and crazy torque and regen braking. We also take long road trips and get 30+mpg in hybrid mode. The ramcharger will be awesome for me with 5 times the all elec range of the...

    Trailer back-up camera using UConnect

    Haven't heard anything on this or a similar post about aux cameras. From what I've gleaned on the internet it seems the aux 1 and aux 2 are basically not used unless you have the very pricing trailer camera prep package from the factory or install OEM aftermarket.

    2025 brochure

    Does the Bighorn have adjustable pedals? I can't remember if what trim that starts with. I have never adjusted them on my Laramie but perhaps that would help?

    TFL Trucks - 2025 Ram 1500

    Agreed - I'm very interested in the idea of a Bighorn or Laramie Ramcharger as it would be a perfect fit for my use scenario. I've been able to trade up every few years since 2014 into new and nicer trucks because of equity and deals though and am less optimistic I'll have enough equity in a...
