Regardless, Big Horns didn't have passive entry standard or optional. Technically the window sticker isn't wrong. You CAN enter your truck keylessly...
Newer window stickers have changed the description (probably to reduce complaints from people who felt misled).
Welcome! No Big Horn 5th gens have passive entry. You only have 'Keyless Go' (pushbutton start). I made the same mistaken assumption when I got my '20. Passive entry starts at the Laramie trim. You can add it to your truck with new handles, some wiring, and AlfaOBD trickery. There's a big thread...
No problems with new Costco pumps with my truck or wife's '20 Cherokee. Buddy's wife had a Compass and that MFer didn't like to take gas from ANY pump!
Safety feature for the idiots that would just get out without shutting it off and go in the house. There have been cases of hybrid owners doing this, only to have the car start later in the closed garage and kill them with carbon monoxide. But this has also happened with regular gas keyless...
No, but when it was introduced one of the benefits Ram cited was the ET generator adding a bit of power when MDS is active in order to keep the the truck in MDS mode longer.
Wasn't that more of a no/hard latch type fix? As in people's tailgates were dropping because they weren't fully closed? This sounds more like an electronic issue between the door and tailgate causing the tailgate to trigger whenever the door is opened. Possibly related to the defective fog light...
No.
Probably a cost/benefit/size/weight/packaging tradeoff type thing. Only so much battery you can fit behind the rear seat and that space is also shared with other electronics and the subwoofer (if equipped).
The Cherokee start/stop is not even close to the ET Hemi system (but it's also a whole lot simpler). My wife has a '20 Cherokee and we both turn off the start/stop immediately. I never turn it off on my truck.
You also have to remember that it was not free until recently. When I got my '20 it was $200, in '19 I think it was like $1500. So that likely factored into some decisions.
I hate start/stop systems (owned a couple, driven a few others) and my ET Hemi is the first where I don't immediately...
I agree, but I don't have to like it... Or buy any car with mandatory 'services'. I guess I'll only buy used after a certain point. Bummer.
Stuff like the Ram Connect services makes sense (even if I don't like the pricing). Things that add a little value (being able to start my truck from my...
Yeah, by time he got all the OEM parts (assuming he even can, like you said) plus the labor to install/paint, you'd have so much wrapped up in it, might as well just sell the Rebel at current inflated prices and buy an actual TRX from Koons or Mark Dodge at a discount.
You're gonna do all that and still have the narrow standard width bed.
Probably easier to list what doesn't have to be changed: doors, taillights, tailgate, rear bumper maybe (probably a couple other odds and ends). And that's just the body.
Welcome! Everything bodywise is completely different between '19-'22 1500s and '19-'22 HD trucks. Here's the sister site specifically for HD Rams- https://hdrams.com/forum/index.php
