Thank you. Should I call it a battery maintainer? [Dunno.] So I discovered that the battery in my truck is an AGM battery. My son and I are reasonably confident the 1 amp charger will be enough - even if it's not the ideal size. If the battery were old and had been depleted a few times, I'd...

I own a '24 RAM 1500 Limited eTorque that is going to sit in my garage for a month and a half without being driven. Based on my experience with my other hybrid vehicle, I'm pretty sure I need to connect a drip charger to my <regular> battery to keep it fully charged. Drip chargers come in...

Right you are. My '07 Tacoma is sitting in my garage with its battery disconnected. Sometimes I think I should sell it, but it's only got 109,000 miles on it. At this rate, it'll be another 15+ years before it hits 200k.

Thanks! Do I attach the cables to the 48v battery behind the backseat or the +/- connections in the engine compartment?

I've got a trip coming up where I won't be able to drive my RAM 1500 etorque truck for over a month. I'm concerned that the battery(ies) will die because the Etorque system draws power if it just sits in my driveway the whole time. Can I simply use a drip charger to slow charge the battery while...

I'm afraid I don't have a cargo camera, so I cannot help you.

Jason, There is a raised 'bar' on top of the SmartCap whose sole purpose is to allow air into the bed area. My configuration probably isn't ideal for pets because the side doors are solid (no windows/no way to slide a panel slightly open for more air). There is another option for the side panel...

Hi. I just noticed your request. I'll see if I can snap a photo and post it here. [I recall having trouble posting a photo before.]

I bought it in Eugene, OR. As there is no sales tax in OR, I will most likely buy my next vehicle there -- probably in Corvallis.

I'm pretty excited about the soon(?) to be released 1500 Ramcharger. I had a little free time this afternoon, so I drove over to a nearby Dodge/Chrysler/RAM/Jeep dealer in Chamblee (Atlanta, GA) just to learn if they knew anything that isn't already available online. I asked the first three...

I'll bet we came damned close to passing each other on/near Steens Mtn. I entered it from the south access road. Ten miles of gravel <in both directions> coated everything in my bed with a thick layer of dust. Of course, I still had the flimsy vinyl cover that was on the bed when I bought my...

Welcome to the forum, Pilot. I don't know how many of us there are, but welcome to the 'first time owning a RAM truck' club. I bought my 1500 Limited Granite Night edition just 2 months ago (and ~2200 miles), and I still can't quite believe how great it is to drive. Even my 'sensible gas...

Congratulations on your upgrade! Similar to you and Eighty above, I upgraded from an '07 Taco Prerunner and now own a '24 RAM 1500 Limited - and what an upgrade it is!

I think a decision to replace sway bars will have to wait until after I've put a lot more miles on my new truck, and after I get a solid feel for how the truck tows our trailer next year. I'm coming from a much smaller 2-wheel drive Tacoma Prerunner, so everything feels different. I really...

First time posting a photo and first time posting a photo of my new RAM 1500! Hope I succeed! I've driven it about 450 miles already, and I LOVE how it handles. Half the time I want to drive just under the speed limit just so I can cruise along. The other half of the time I want to fly. This...
