Tbjbu: "Does this seem normal for one truck to have all of these issues or did I win the lotto here? This is my first Ram and I know this is the first year of the 5thgen body types, and that there are always issues, but this seems absurd. " . . Yeah, that list of issues is absurd, you did win...

. Anyone in the relatively warm areas of the country, who uses their vehicle for light duty and stays mostly local, whether as a daily-driver private vehicle, or a parts-chaser, or pest control company, or city vehicles that always stay in-town and park in the city yard every night, etc., etc...

. Did you look at Av8OR's post that I was replying to? I was commenting on that particular photo of a coal train AV8OR posted of as a simplistic, politically-charged, unhelpful post. . I appreciate all of the research you've apparently done on the topic, I've done my own as well. But you're...

. Very well said, SpeedyV. . I, too, am very interested in Ram's upcoming half-ton "REV" (formerly "REPB"). For my use-case, a properly-executed gas-electric hybrid fits well. I recognize for many, many truck owners, nothing EV-related that's available today fits their use-cases, and that's fine...

. I use a Noco GB70 (12V, 2000 A), it works well and holds a charge for a good long time before needing to be recharged. I bought that one because that's what the towing company used to jump my 1500 several months ago. It seems to be a nicely built unit. I recommend popping a few extra bucks for...

. I keep getting conflicting info on this topic. The option shows on Ram's Build & Price website, but a friend tried to order one at the dealer a month ago and the dealer's ordering app wouldn't let him order one. One person I know who has connections high up at Ram said that EcoDiesel orders...

. Yeah, we are fairly entertaining, aren't we? When one is on the downhill side of life, one realizes there is not enough time or energy left to put up with people's nonsense. No longer giving a sh!t is very liberating ;-) .

. (y)(y) I'm with you 100%. .

. I agree that civility, courteousness and responsibility should be the norm, so we can get by with as few laws as possible. . To me, the horn-toot confirmation notification is pure laziness on the part of the automotive designers. If they had put the confirmation-of-action indicators in the...

. IMO, it should be illegal for vehicles to make the confirmation/notification sounds at the vehicle, the confirmations (beep or vibration or LED flash) should ONLY ever happen at the fob or phone in the user's hand, whether during remote start or locking/unlocking the doors or whatever. ...

. That's perfect! Having a good relationship with the service manager is probably worth more than the truck itself being a good truck. Seems like maybe you got a unicorn deal 👍 .

. Wow! Thanks for the feedback. I can see why you decided to give Ram a try. I'm fortunate that my 2020 Longhorn has been absolutely flawless, I hope your Ram lives up to your expectations. Best of luck to you. .

. That's correct. I some cases, the roads are used for logging as well. .

. Welcome!Hope the Ram serves you well. They are really nice trucks, but none of them is perfect. . What issues with your previous 3.5 EcoBoost drove you away from Ford? .

. Yeah, as Ram designed their four-corner air suspension for the half-tons, it's definitely best to stay on-pavement or well-graded roads with it. Air suspension is great on paved roads, great for towing...not so great for deep ruts or rock crawling. . It is nice to be able to raise the body an...

2020 Laramie Longhorn 4x4 EcoDiesel air suspension. 8k miles, 2.5years, absolutely zero issues. Only use it on highway trips or when hauling family/friends/cargo, try not to use it around town. Keep it covered, and on a Noco battery conditioner (Noco 10 Genius). Whoever gets it next will think...

. It is true that regenerative braking does help increase brake material life, but as others here have said, the largest factor is Ram upgrading the rotor size, etc. in order to be able to get the higher towing & payload ratings they want. . Ram's eTorque is a fairly mild hybrid system, so it...

. I did say that in my original reply, you just paraphrased it differently.

. This is exactly what I'm talking about. The radical greenies ae pushing their agenda of control and redistribution of wealth, without providing one shred of evidence as to the net effect of EVs on the environment, and no economic analysis either. AOC and her hysterical, control-freak "Green...
