. Just a reminder, we're supposed to avoid politically-related stuff here on 5thgenrams, that's one of the beauties of this site, and it's starting to head that way in this thread. .

. I think it should be a federal law that every article posted to the internet has to show the date it was originally posted and the date of any subsequent updates. In fact, having opened the link you posted and found no sign of any date for it, I decided to boycott Car & Driver and that author...

. We'll all be paying more for electricity, too. Not necessarily having to do with the incoming administration, just the realities of the post-pandemic world where nearly every single thing in our lives just keeps getting more expensive by leaps & bounds. .

@PeteC89: . Re: "Not to try and make you sounds old but I'm half your age 😁 ..." . Ha ha! The great thing about being my age is that most of us who make it this far just don't care anymore. 😁 . As with you, I also appreciate being able to load/unload things without the drop-down tailgate in the...

@ PeteC89: I just noticed that you have the MFT (multi-function tailgate), as do I. I don't know if you've already discovered this or not, but I have found that Ram's MFT is by far the easiest pickup truck bed to get up into, and IMO the additional retractable center step is not necessary...

. If I was in that position, I'd jst drive itnormally for a full week after the dealer touched it. If the dealer did any updates, you want them to settle down before doing anything else. Just what I would do, my two-cents worth. .

. You can't beat a gasoline V8 for a pleasant, satisfying driving experience. You did the right thing getting what you really wanted. Enjoy the heck out of it! .

. I don't know anything about the details of the needs of the many individual control modules scattered around modern vehicles, but I do know that my 2020 Ram gets crosswise if (A) a given OTA (over-the-air) update didn't go to completion before I shut it down, or (B) my truck sits for long...

. I've had the "doesn't even click" issue with my MFT a few times. Each time I was able to fix it by disconnecting the 12V battery ground under the hood, letting it sit for a couple of hours (or overnight), reconnecting battery ground cable and driving normally. . My 2020 MFT started the...

. Welcome! Beautiful truck, I'm sure it does turn heads there in the UK. . I'm curious, did you consider the EcoDiesel at all, for fuel economy? Or are diesel vehicles out of favor there now? Most EcoDiesels in the US can get 28 or so MPG unloaded. In southern California, diesel at normal...

. Welcome! Hopefully your Ram experience will be a good one, like mine has been. Beautiful truck! .

. That's not what the Amsoil article said, methinks you didn't read it carefully: "It’s helpful to think of the “W” as standing for “winter.” The lower the oil’s “W” viscosity, the more readily it will flow when cold. In this case, 5W-30 will flow more easily at startup than 10W-30." . Both...

. Next time go find the fleet manager. If you can't find a fleet manager at that dealership, go find a Ram Commercial dealer in your area. The people who sell to the commercial buyers are usually much more knowledgeable than the salespeople, and they can't get away with BS'ing their customers. ...

. Yes, in theory that's right. . I'm neither a chemist nor an engine designer. However, I have a vague recollection that when Ram first introduced the EcoDiesel they specified a 0W oil, but when the bottom ends of those initial EcoDiesels started dropping out, Ram changed the oil spec to a 5W...

. I don't have a Hurricane, but I myself would never run a 0-weight oil in any ICE that I owned. And whatever weight oil I ended up using for a given ICE vehicle, I'd only ever buy it from Amsoil. Email tech support at Amsoil and get their opinion, can't hurt and likely will help. .

. I can only hope your Ram is as reliable, and satisfying to drive, as mine has been for me. .

. Like others here, it would be interesting to know what made you switch brands after 25 years as a Ford person. Also, what made you choose Ram over GM/Toyota/Nissan?

. Here's a cropped image from Stellantis' website. Looks to me like the engine bay will look different, but every bit as packed with stuff: Stellantis Media - 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger

. You're right of course, the bigwigs always cover for themselves and they rarely, if ever, suffer at all for f'ing up entire companies before they get fired. . Still, whenever I am reminded of Tavares I will picture him in my mind's eye as mucking out horse stalls, even though that won't be...

. That was all due to "Toxic Tavares" - no understanding of the American market and forcing his EU sensibilities on the American market while simultaneously raising prices to milk North America for profits so he could claim a large bonus. I hope that joker ends up shoveling out horse stalls for...
