    Built to serve lift

    My understanding from BTS specs is that the front has a lift. I don’t know how much of a lift but it’s apparent by looking at the stance compared to other DT Rams. It sits higher in the front. It almost resembles the Rebel from what I can see anyone know what that lift is?

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    The manufacturer changes their incentives every single month. I wouldn’t have been able to take delivery in time. That’s okay though. For me, I was able to find exactly what I wanted. Got it from Lake Norman / Cornelius area.

    2021 Ram 1500 eTorque gas mileage

    This truck came with Falken Wildpeak A/T3Wa which is a all season, snow, off-road tire but not as agressive as the K02’s.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I was going to order mine but was not going to be able to take delivery with the Employee Pricing incentives in time. I wish they would honor the current incentives at the time it’s being ordered and not at delivery. I had to scramble and search the whole South East US to find one with all the...

    2021 Ram 1500 eTorque gas mileage

    I forgot to mention I have 3.21 gears and not the 3.92. I noticed that on your signature you have 3.92 which makes me sad now because we are averaging the same :-|

    2021 Ram 1500 eTorque gas mileage

    I have a BTS which comes standard with fixed running boards. I was thinking of getting those auto-deploy-and-retract running boards that come with the higher trims. I worder if that helps with MPG on the highway since they are tucked in while rolling?

    Bed Storage Alternatives

    These are the same storage bins. The previous author butted them up together. I’m going to get the same Husky bins you have and butt them together with zip tie(s) so they stay side by side. Between that and the bar extender, it should hold in place just fine.

    2021 Ram 1500 eTorque gas mileage

    I throught highway was going to be better than 17-18 @ 80 MPH. I’ve also found that the Onboard computer doesn’t do a good job of calculating the MPG average.

    2021 Ram 1500 eTorque gas mileage

    I know there is no expectation of fuel mileage for these 5000+ lbs vehicles. I wanted to find what everyone is getting in terms of realistic fuel mileage on their eTorque w/ 4x4? I’m getting 14-15 around town being easy on it. And I’m getting 17-18 highway normally doing 78-80 MPH.

    Ram 1500 Ceramic Coated

    There is a price consideration between getting PPF and just painting your bumper after a few years. I think it might be less expensive to get your bumper painted than it is to get PPF. In my particular case, I have the black steel bumper and the matte black grille both dominating the front area...
