    Full Screen Android Auto Coming Soon?

    I don’t know - I feel like its fair to complain. And I don’t think your 0-60 comparison works. While it has a beautiful large screen, Ram has about the worst native software in vehicles Ive been in. There are so many well engineered parts to this truck and so much I love - then this full screen...

    Cargo divider installation question (tonneau cover w/ clamps)

    The mopar cargo divider (example pic in attached photos) works with utility rails - a piece fits over them (example pic in attached photos) to create the guide for the cargo divider. Many tonneau covers (including mine, an extang encore hard cover, pictured) use clamps that get in the way of...

    Multiple dead batteries on 2021 eTorque

    Yes, those were the before cleaning pics. Thanks for sharing - good to hear this is not uncommon and solveable. I did install an AGM battery yesterday as well, rather than use the warranty on the OEM one. Very much appreciate the support.

    Multiple dead batteries on 2021 eTorque

    I hit that with some steel wool. Seemed clean enough. I’m going to put in an AGM battery. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Multiple dead batteries on 2021 eTorque

    Thanks - I saw that connection and it was painted up. I’ll get after that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Multiple dead batteries on 2021 eTorque

    I moved to Phoenix, AZ almost 5 years ago - when I arrived I learned that heat causing batteries to only last a couple years is a thing. But yes, I'd rather deal with quality and take the variability out of that. Good to know that the e-torque really shouldn't be an issue. It just sounds...

    Multiple dead batteries on 2021 eTorque

    I picked it up and it was listed as good. So it drained from working fine (I'll think there was a slight delay on the start for the previous week~ish) on last Thursday to being completely dead come Monday. So today the battery is charged - are you saying this is only another 12v battery from the...

    Multiple dead batteries on 2021 eTorque

    I left my battery at O’Reilly’s to charge overnight and the guy said something around the fact that he was going to trick it into trickle charging. He said normally it wouldn’t pick up, though it would be better for the battery. Last time this happened the dealership said that my etorque 48v...

    Multiple dead batteries on 2021 eTorque

    I’m starting to have a similar issue. Last year everything went dead and the dealer said it was just a bad battery, nothing else. As of today I get home from a 4 day weekend and my truck is dead dead. Brought the battery to O’reilly’s and they said 5.6v, so I’m trickle charging it overnight to...

    Passive (auto) Door Lock for 2019 Longhorn?

    Me too. I don't get it because I have to have my fob around to open the door. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

    Hard-wire Dash Cam Install

    There is a ton of information here. I understand that Blackvue is the best option, though I went with a Vantrue N4 3 channel camera (primarily because of price and I didn't feel like I needed the cloud storage). I've picked up the wiring harness that allows me to wire into my fusebox. I've been...

    AAWireless Review

    I'm late to this thread and wish I would've found it a year ago. Is there much difference between the AAWireless and Motorola Wireless CarAdapter for Android Auto? I'm looking at both of them right now. Thanks,

    Full Screen Android Auto Coming Soon?

    I did read. I'm sorry if I came off rude. I probably could have worded myself better. Yes, the "to be useful" suggestion he made was extreme. But it's more venting. Right or wrong, he bought a full 12.1" display and it's not operating how he expected. He sees the Carplay experience. He uses it...

    Full Screen Android Auto Coming Soon?

    Too small for what? You're arguing towards what someone should use or like vs what I want / thought I was sold. I purchased a 12.1" display. I prefer a full screen usage of navigation and the stock uconnect navigation blows. Don't tell me I can't prefer or desire to use a full screen display. I...

    White Knuckle vs Rocky Road Outfitters

    Are there other options for sliders? I owned WK sliders for my previous vehicle, an Xterra pro-4x. The install was easy, they were awesome and saved my truck a couple times. I was looking through 5th gen pages and saw something in a side step page that claimed to offer "slider protection"...
