I agree. Compared to starter-driven start-stop systems, it's a much better solution. Also haven't had a problem with it in over 200,000 miles.

I'm looking to buy a new Ram within the next 8 months or so. My concern isn't really with choosing between Hermi and I6, but with the seemingly endless list of (software) problems I read about. I'd love to get an RHO, but wow are there a lot of problems with it. Ugh.

There's a $20,000 - $30,000 price difference. Too much for me. Basic RHO can be had for less than $70,000

at around 167,000 miles

Probably. If I didn't have an extended warranty, I would probably change transmission oil very 60,000 miles or so. That said, we have a 2014 with 235,000 miles which is still going strong on the original transmission oil... (knock on wood)

It's always called 'cheap insurance' or something like that. I consider it expoensive insanity to change oil every 3000 miles. We have owned 4 Hemis so far, all of which have gone at least 100,000 miles while we owned them, all on this same maintenance schedule. We still own two of them ...

Right, that's why I listed the brakes in the exclusion list. They replaced rotors.

My 2020 Limited recently crossed the 200,000 mile mark, so I thought I'd report on how it's held up over those miles. Generally speaking, I love this truck. Even though there have been quite a few repairs, it has never left us stranded on the road, and only once at our house (dead battery)...

I currently have a 2020 Limited, and it's been a pretty good truck. I intend to trade it next year for an RHO. I also considered getting the new Charger EV (since they are practically giving them away) for local trips to save miles on the RHO. After reading up on both models/engines, the...

Hemi?

My dealer turns it on sometimes for 3 months after oil changes.

While I definitely got my money's worth out of the maxcare plan, I drive 35000 miles per year. Today, longest period and miles is 8 years/125000 I believe. Not worth it, now that regular warranty on 2026 is 100000 miles. However, for a 2022 it might be worth it.

There IS one, but it's tiny and hard to press in. I had the same problem: easy in our 2014, too hard in the 2020.

Hard to give advice without knowing how many miles you drive per year and how long you plan to keep the truck.

If it's been in the shop 3 times, and they can't fix it that would qualify for lemon law buyback probably. Just sayin.
