    Adaptive Cruise

    I rarely engage it in heavy traffic. It's well tuned for light traffic that's moving at a similar speed, but not for coming up on sudden stops or stop and go traffic. Accelerates and brakes too sudden IMO. I have tried to adjust the distance to soften it, and it helps but is not enough. I...

    Bed Clearance under Tonneau

    I did a quick measure with my MX4. The low part on the MX4 is the bars going across where the handles are. From my bed mat to the bottom of those bars it's almost exactly 20in. My bed mat is 3/8in thick, so without a bed mat I would say it would be right close to 20.5 inches of clearance.

    Fuel and def cap?

    I know of no other place making these. I got both from Geno's but only use the diesel fuel cap FWIW. The DEF cap is not worth it IMO, it's not a smooth or easy fit on my truck at least.

    Overlanding in a Longhorn

    FWIW, lifting the ecodiesel will incur worse axle angles than lifting the hemi. Being wider causes the axle's to be shorter and thus lifting incurs a greater angle increase. So far I am choosing to wait on a lift for my ED. Lockers are the same, it's the 4x4 transfer case that is different...

    Overlanding in a Longhorn

    Exterior style for one ;) But seriously this is what I can think of: One notable loss would be the larger wheels of the longhorn. The smallest wheels you can get are 20in, and may be 22 depending on the package. I am pretty sure the bumpers on the longhorn are not as robust either, on the...

    Diesel even worth it still?

    I don't think the price increases can be simplified to a single source. I saw this video yesterday and they make some interesting points about how there is a lack of investment in fossil fuel infrastructure. During good times that's not a significant issue but it can cause some stability...

    Diesel even worth it still?

    I believe they mention 87 because at altitude they sell mid-grade at 87 since the altitude also resists pre-detonation. They clarify this with the sentence directly after by describing it as "Plus" which to me indicates mid-grade for the relative altitude of your region. Obviously many people...

    2023 new cluster leaked

    I don't really care about digital vs "analog". The issue I would face with it is the lack of information presented. I like how much is shown on the current cluster without having to dive into a lot of menus. And the configuration of what is displayed in the current cluster is pretty good...

    Diesel even worth it still?

    Given current prices I am still saving $5 per 100 miles compared to a Hemi. Might not sound like much, but to me the diesel provides significant advantages outside of just money savings.

    Connected Services Not Active - No SOS / Wi-Fi / Health Reports

    I had similar issues when my recent purchase completed. I tried Sirius support and waited for a couple days hoping a push or something would just fix it. As a final attempt before going to the dealer I disconnected the battery, waited a bit, reconnected and waited over night. In the morning...

    Extended warranty pick

    I also heavily considered a 3rd party warranty. I don't know anything about Darwin, but generalizing the options I faced: 1) 3rd party warranty that would be cheaper, 2 years longer (10 years), and likely well served by the specific dealership selling the truck to me. It had concerning fine...

    Renewable Diesel Fuel #2

    The ecodiesel can't do more than B20.

    Rear Window leak

    I don't completely disagree, that would be nice. But you do loose about 6 or 8in of rear space to make room for the window to slide down on the Toyota.

    What do I need to catch up on?

    In the 2022 year you had to order it from the factory. Previous years you could just buy the cord, but 2022 you have to get it as an option to get the heater + cord. If you don't have it, I would not worry about it too much. You don't _need_ the heater until those temps. My reasons for using...

    What do I need to catch up on?

    Are you familiar with diesels in general? If not there is tons to learn about the ED. I am another new owner so I can't speak to any success, but my game plan for longevity: * Use the engine block heater regularly when needed * Use the front cover when temps are < 0C (both to try and minimize...

    Adding apps

    This is a very old thread, but I am currently looking for that information. A brief write up would be awesome!

    Off Road Pages

    Weird, my 2022 does not have them....I assume they would be listed under the apps page, right? Do you have to install apps somehow?

    How I Put a Dog Kennel Inside the Crew Cab

    The primary job for my 1500 is hauling my dog and dog training gear. When I only have one dog I would prefer them to be in the cab with me, but I think a kennel is a must for the dogs safety. The Ram 1500 Crew Cab luckily has plenty of space to work with. I thought I would share my...

    Should I have gone with the 12" screen?

    To me the 8.4" is the better option. The buttons are more accessible and the layout feels more natural to me. The screen is already distracting as it is. I feel I made the right choice

    Help with Reverse ParkSense Audio Warnings

    Took it to the dealer, they could not figure it out. Everything seems like it should be working, and they reset the radio and the truck computer but no change. They said next steps would be to open a Star ticket, and that would take at least one or two nights for them to debug with their...
