    Poor gas mileage

    Searching back through this thread & others, most notice an increase in ECO mode frequency at 5-6,000mi. I'm sitting at 8,700 with zero increase in ECO mode frequency since driving it off the Mark Dodge lot at 11mi. I would have to think it'd be broken in by now unless Ram changed the...

    Poor gas mileage

    On a 3.21 truck, one with a larger/heavier wheel & tire setup or maybe a Rebel I'd imagine 55mph would probably be the limit for MDS engagement but on my family members heavy 3.92 4x4 limited, the used 3.92 trucks I test drove before ordering mine & some members here with 3.92 trucks. They...

    Poor gas mileage

    Miles? Does MDS stay engaged at highway speeds? My 23' with 8,700mi. wont keep MDS engaged at anything over 45mph no matter how gentle you are with the throttle. Personal best mpg is 19.6 drafting trucks & driving like an old man on the highway. Normal highway commute for me is 18ish mpg running...

    Poor gas mileage

    My 23' Laramie (details in sig) is still fairly new at 8,200mi & pretty heavy but still managed 19mpg hand calculated on my last 2 tanks running Phillips 66 87 octane with 10% ethanol. All highway commute in no hurry, no idling, allowing the adaptive cruise to draft trucks at 65-70mph when...

    Loss of Power after Auto Start/Stop

    I think that when RAM says that etorque moves the truck forward for the first half of a tire rotation. This is the time it takes for the truck to recover from the auto stop event and get its act together before allowing your throttle input to be translated to actual throttle movement as a nanny...

    Loss of Power after Auto Start/Stop

    On my 23' Hemi I noticed it happening when the engine shuts off for an auto stop and I apply the gas at the same time, almost like I caught the truck off guard and it had a brain freeze for a moment and it needed a moment to stabilize the RPM & put the trans back into gear to get settled before...

    Calling All Patriot Blues!

    Little sour about the changes to the 23' Laramie's but overall loving the truck. Took advantage of the 23% off from Mark Dodge for May. Ordered 5/8/23 & took delivery 6/10/23. Details in signature...

    Start of 2023 Production

    I noticed that as too. $4,195 to $3,795. Level B with the 40/20/40. Didnt care to have the wireless charger anyway. The $1,295 for buckets with console plus the extra $400 for the wireless charger really reinforced my decision to stick with the bench.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I placed the order for my Laramie with the Hemi & 5' 7" box from MD on monday 5/8 in the A.M. That afternoon I called back with a question & they said I got lucky. They tried placing an order for another customer but found out that ordering closed for the Hemi 5' 7" combo that afternoon & Hemi...

    everyone hate there 3:21 gears?

    I should be in the 3.21 camp but I went with 3.92's purely as a luxury at the expense of a little fuel economy. I drive 30k a year all highway and only tow a 3500lb boat 40mi on the weekends. I prefer the slightly increased ability to pass another vehicle or climb moderate hills without an 8-7...
