Interesting - I've only ever towed with a 7 pin, so I've always enjoyed it turning off the sensors and tracking mileage for me. I would have assumed something was broken if I went to pull a UHaul or something similar 😅

I get about 17/18 in the city - are you disabling auto stop/ start?

Sounds like an exciting way to void your air suspension's warranty 😬

Take a picture of what you're referring to. The connector is next to the license plate.. If nothing is wired to the connector on the bumper, yeah, factory missed a step.

Hopefully this idea from Hyundai catches on - you never have to jump-start; you just press a button and the lithium battery will take over for the lead acid.

It doesn't actually say that - it says to use it when the truck would shift under high load or unnecessarily. From the owner's manual: Essentially, it stretches out the transmission's shifts. Less shifting means less wear on the clutches and less heat. If the transmission is overheating because...

That is the throttle input I am referring to. The ECU does all of the mapping, but the throttle signal the box is messing with is just the analog signal from your foot. 100% is 100%, regardless of whether your foot gives the ECU that or it's coming from the box. My point still stands - that...

That box has nothing to do with your traction control system - it's just fooling the throttle input. The only way it would make traction control come on less is if it's not actually giving you full throttle as fast as you.

As mentioned earlier, dealers often have a bad habit of using customer cars to get/ store parts, run errands, etc. The techs have to have access to keys, and if the dealer doesn't actively keep track of the cars... technicians gonna be technicians. The service advisor will do their best to...

The rating of the trucks takes all of that into account, so it's not like those components aren't capable - it's just a matter of whether the trailer is ideal for the truck's intended use. It's not like they rate the engine and glue everything around it; the cooling system, suspension system...

You and me both - loads of people on here will jump if you say you towed more than X because "Ermagherd you have a limited! You're going to exceed your payload!" ...truck does just fine with 3.92's regardless of the internet police. Super happy with my eTorque so far

No, the topic is Ram's Electric Truck - not your opinions on clean energy. The truth is that it depends on where you live, but over the course of their useful life EV's are cleaner than their gasoline counterparts. https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/cleaner-cars-cradle-grave#:~:text=Manufacturing...

A 1500 will do it, but a 2500 will do it much better. If you're serious about "a lot" of traveling, I would definitely go with a 2500 that's made to haul every day

Panoramic roof yes, air suspension no. That's the biggest differentiator that Ram has (IMO) - F150 is made of aluminum and has loads of torque, so it has incredible towing/ payload numbers... but it's sitting on leaf springs from Ben Hur's chariot.

Regardless of your decision, I think you should post a comparison on here (I know I would really appreciate it). I'm really curious how the infotainment systems compare - Sync seems to have a nicer UI, but I really like how I can have two things up at the same time with Ram. I'm guessing the...

Same here. Perfect truck for me would be a 2017+ 3.5 Ecoboost engine transplanted into a Ram with an aluminum body. 500 lb*ft of grunt low down in the RPM range, no added emissions widgets for Diesel, pulling a much lighter truck would be amazing.... but I don't think I could give up the...

I was really excited by the idea of a Nissan "5/8 Ton truck" - Cummins V8, beefy frame, etc. without the crazy bulk of modern 3/4 tons ...but when it came out and only had an 11-12.7k towing capacity, yeah I'll stick with the proven powertrain in the Ram, not to mention the literally award...

You never know - there are plenty of "well, I don't tow right now, but I want to tow ___ some day so I went ahead and bought a dually" people out there. :ROFLMAO: Realistically, even a 1200 pound payload truck *can* haul much more than that... just not comfortably. I brought that up in the...

My recommendation would be to give them a test drive and feel them out for yourself. When I bought my Ram, I bought it for the ride and all of the interior creature comforts. Ford definitely has the numbers, but I liked that the Ram had a very proven powertrain (no direct injection, no finnicky...

You answered your own question. Their hitch weight looks to be ~10% of the unloaded weight. How you load the trailer and where will obviously impact the actual tongue weight.
