Married with 1 kid, another on the way, and I can probably say it's just me in my truck 80-85% of the time. My wife prefers to drive it, which is a problem. She constantly gives me a hard time about me not letting her take it to work lol.

May not be everyone's cup of tea but I thought it was cool and I'm a proud American...so... Purchased from Reflective Concepts. Their decals are actually very high quality.

Yeah I have no idea lol. Probably to drive people who do work on their own trucks crazy? Couldn't they have just made it green...or red..and let it stay that color?

Friction modifier in a diff that doesn't need = no problem. No friction/not enough friction modifier in a diff that DOES need = PROBLEM

If by "turning off randomly in traffic" you mean at a stop light? Yes. It's not a big deal. I find it does not do it as often as other cars with auto-stop/start. It also restarts much quicker because it uses the eTorque motor. I'd rather not have it but in terms of daily use, its not too bad.

Sorry for the delayed reply but believe it or not, it is actually purple to start. I spoke to my dealer. Apparently the purple stuff turns like a reddish/orange when it goes through heat cycles. I had a mini-panic when I thought I put the wrong coolant in. It is in-fact, supposed to be purple...

That is actually pretty cool but what they SHOULD have is a dipstick AND that. It will be a long time for me (hopefully) as I plan to drive my 2019 till it dies. Who knows where the world will be then. Hopefully that's much later than sooner lol.

Humor me here....how do you even check your oil then? You just fill to spec and pray?

You might be right. It's just unfortunately, a trend that seems to be unstoppable. I, probably like you, come from the generation of not even being able to conceive of not offering a V8 option in a half-ton. When the NA V6 options came out, I could understand that. Maybe someone who just does...

I think it's a combo of both. You're not wrong. I only go to the same 2-3 stations most of the time. I honestly haven't had the issue (knock wood) in a very long time. Other times, at stations I don't normally go to, it happens to the point where you almost can't fill the tank. It definitely...

Correct me if I'm wrong but you work in a dealership right? Just wanted to point this out because I tend to more stock into what you (and others similar to you) say. I'm right there with you. I don't even know what to say to the no oil dipstick. I'm only 40 but I'm one of those guys now who...

And Ram might be the ONLY manufacturer to offer NO-V8 option in 2025. Mind-boggling. It almost begs to wonder if they just finally pissed the EPA off too much with the SRT, Hellcats, and TRX's.

Timely video LOL This is another good one: "You would think the sheer amount of blown Ecoboost engines I've teared down on this channel that I've seen it all..." LOL

Makes me feel a little better but there are still 2016+ 5.7L hemis with the issues. There's been a couple 2019's that are high enough mileage to manifest the problem.

I can respect individualized opinions. You're entitled to it. I get as about excited for the 2025 Rebel as I do thinking about doing my taxes.
