Someone(s) needs to get stuff out of the back or put stuff in, and they can't close the tailgate themselves? (noting that you don't need a power gate to be able to open it remotely - just like my current non-power gate that I can open remotely) Being "power" only adds the benefit of closing it...

I test drove a '25 Limited, fully loaded. Basically, the same truck as what I have now, except I have an EcoDiesel. I definitely liked that HO motor. It was FUN. Otherwise, the new Limited is actually not as nice as my current one (a '21). My seats are all leather (or leather-like). The new...

I can already remote open my tailgate. The built-in damper makes it lower softly. No need for a motor for that. It has a spring (I guess) in it that makes it very light and easy to close. I have yet to think of a reason I would ever find it more convenient to close with a remote button than...

I don't necessarily drive straight to the riding area parking lot, then straight home after. The credit card key sounds like, generally, a pain in the a$$. I don't want to pull it out of my pocket/wallet every time I get in and out of the truck. I'd rather use the fob for the drive there and...

Power tailgate: Dumbest idea ever. Test drove a '25 Limited yesterday. Loved it. Saw that it had the power tailgate. Crushed the salesman's hopes and dreams when I told him I would not buy it with that tailgate.

The Story of RAM: First year of something new, limit the offerings and options. Year 2 and later: Expand the offerings and options. '25 is the first year of the HO. I would totally expect it to be available as an option in more trim levels in later years. For the first year, they probably had...

So the credit card key only works if you pull it out and physically hold the credit card up to a spot on the door handle to unlock and then on the wireless charger to start? I guess it would be useful as an emergency backup. Can you lock the key fob in the truck and then just use the credit...

Apologies in advance. I know this is not helpful to you (@frioman007). I test drove a '25 Limited with the power tailgate yesterday. The truck was everything exactly what I want - except it had that power tailgate. After we got back from the test drive, the salesman was like "do you want to...

I've read about this plenty of times. With my '21, I can walk away with the engine running and the key fob in my pocket and my truck does not honk the horn. IIRC, that is a setting somewhere in the Uconnect that I found and turned off immediately after I got my truck. I have read on here that...

Just because they don't haul or tow more than once a year does not mean that that one time is not their dealbreaker criterion for a purchase. E.g. Homer takes his family on vacation every summer, towing their camper. They only go once a year. But, he knows they're going to do it every year, so...

Me, too. Right now, I fully expect the 2nd or 3rd year of production of the Ramcharger to be my next truck.

I gotta admit, I feel like I called this from the beginning. Really, it's just disappointing that it took Stellantis so long to make the call. I feel like that delay is representative of what has been wrong in management there. Well, one thing wrong, anyway. It appears this decision was one of...

I thought the change to the SST motors was going fine. Are there issues?

I agree. I think I even predicted a while back that the REV might get "delayed" by at least a year. I think the market for a pure EV pickup is a very tiny fraction of what the market will prove to be for a Ramcharger-style pickup. To be blunt, I don't see why anyone would buy a REV over a...

Not in all configs. Some Crew Cab configs only allow the 5' 7".
