Just got a brand new 2023 Yamaha Waverunner VX Cruiser HO. It's technically 2 years old, but has never been in the water. The previous owner bought it as a spare ski and never used it, now getting a boat so he needed the space. Only about 1,100 lbs ski and trailer, so not exactly impressive...
The Ecoboost 3.5L makes 400 hp / 500 lb-ft, while the Hurricane S.O. makes 420 hp / 469 lb-ft. The difference is 20 hp more for the Hurricane, but 31 lb-ft more torque for the Ford. In terms of engine wear, I read that higher torque has more effect on engine wear over time than higher hp...
I remember a few of us complaining about that issue in a earlier thread, having everything dim in bright light because the wipers were on. Lol, none of us at the time thought about full lock on the dimmer, I think too many of us are used to other vehicles where locking that dimmer to full...
Mine is a Level 2 with the 8.4" screen. Maybe slightly different programming for a 2019 vs 2022?
For me, I think my truck acts the same as yours except for the first one. Which is day time out, wiper running - headlights on, dash lights automatically go to low level. I have to click on lock...
I didn't realize this until recently, especially when I'm running wipers in the daytime and it causes the gauges and screen to dim and I can't see anything.
What's cool about that switch is it does not force the interior dome light to turn on when you lock it to full, so if you forget to switch...
This is a forum, you get the more extreme opinions than the general population, try reading the comments section on a TFL video covering the new RAM Hurricane, you will be shell shocked.
Also, there are quite a few RHO owners reporting issues with the HO. I don't believe this is a design flaw...
You (and I) came from Ford which has been putting six cylinder turbos in their 1500 for a long time now. However, RAM has been marketed as the V8 "Hemi" truck for a long time, it's been their identity, so it's ownership and fans are not going to handle the change without some hesitation. Also...
If the RAM rumors are true, then the V8 in light duty is far from dead. The only full size truck that will have no V8 in the 1500 class will be the Toyota Tundra.
GM not only has the 5.3L & 6.2L, they invested to keep them compliant into the next gen, with the first next-gen small block coming...
That is definitely a possibility.
I did watch some not RAM specific powered seats getting fixed online, their design looks very similar due to the nature of car seats, but it did give me a good idea on what could be an issue. Higher up on the seat, their are 4 bolts, two on each side that are...
The Hemi coming back will likely be a limited option, specifically in the more basic trims (as per Mopar Insider), it will fit below both the Hurricane SO & HO in terms of price and hierarchy within the engine lineup.
Not too dissimilar to Fords 2.7L, 5.0L and 3.5L lineup, but since the...
I noticed today when getting out of my truck that I felt and heard a little bit of forward/backward play on my driver's seat.
When I mean a little, I'm talking about 1-2 mm or so of "rocking" play in the seat. I hear it more than feel it, it makes a light clicking sound as it rocks back and...
As per Mopar Insider, they are expected to bring US made Hemi 5.7L back into the 1500, starting maybe as soon as 2026 models, but as a base motor behind both Hurricanes and only on lower trims, likely Laramie / Rebel and below? Also a question on how soon they could actually start production on...
Doesn't the DT 5th gen weigh more? Factor in the axle ratio and similar driveline and you will get lower mpg compared to your old truck.
Compounded especially with you have a Rebel or ORP truck with 33" A/Ts. I get about 12.5 mpg mixed, about 75% city driving like a normal person. If I...
Officially the manual states never to go beyond 10,000 miles or 1 year regardless of what the computers says. That being said, most dealers don't worry about 35 miles beyond that, but this is modern day Stellantis we are talking about right now, you don't want to give them any ammo in case you...
True, a vehicle is really a tool, it gets old and superseded by better tools. Until it gets so old it becomes cool again and goes up in price decades later as a sentimental thing.
Though like sports cars, I think trucks hold hold a more emotional attachment to owners hearts. Ex FCA CEO said...
The sticker price on my truck was 55k, I got it for 39k, essentially 25% discount because at the time FCA was trying to beat Chevy for second in truck sales, this was July 2019.
Big discounts was always part of the deal when you buy a full size American truck, probably for decades. Usually...
Based on used prices, at least in my area, I don't see a big difference between the makes or a big drop either.
Double check the listings, make sure they aren't fake, also make sure they are clean titles, expected mileage for age, condition etc. to get a represenative sample of asking prices.
If you allow your tire pressure to get the red warning, it must be pumped back up to the recommended pressure rating before the red light warning goes away, even if you have other tires below that pressure without the warning.
If you see red, pump it up to the recommended pressure (as per your...
