    Should RAM ditch the knob shifter ?

    I don't even think about it anymore and it's become natural. I have been driving my Dad's 2002 Avalanche (helping him sell it) back and forth to work to save miles on my Ram and I can jump back and forth from each without issue. Same goes for hopping in my wife's 2017 Tucson with a console...

    Where are our YouTuber forum members?

    Mine is nothing huge but I have a couple videos over 30k views. Hoping to start uploading some different content soon though. https://www.youtube.com/user/RedRocketSS/feed?view_as=subscriber

    Do you like your MDS?

    It doesn't matter how light I press the accelerator, I still feel it. At times it's not as bad as others though. It's especially bad when the truck is cold. I can also hear the exhaust note change when it kicks in and out. There is a slight delay in acceleration when it transitions from MDS and...

    First time towing with a lifted truck.

    https://www.amazon.com/Curt-45900-Adjustable-Channel-Mount/dp/B004SMGAJ6/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=CURT+45900&qid=1560356866&s=gateway&sr=8-1 I ordered that so I'd have adjustment for future. I also tow a car trailer and a boat that takes the two different sized balls the Curt comes with. Makes it...

    What fuel for 5.7

    Your Durango engine has the same compression ratio as the trucks, Diamondback. Was your Durango tuned for the higher octane fuel? Using the paddle shifters doesn't change anything either. I've tuned every single GM vehicle I have owned via HPTuners. Have also been around and used aftermarket...

    Got The SERVICE AXLE LOCKER SYSTEM Message

    I could be? If you knew you posted it in two places then why not delete one like was previously mentioned? Fanboy? Hardly. This is my first FCA product. I've had problems with my truck already and know it isn't perfect.

    Does your trailer have surge brakes or electric? There aren't many WDH's out there that will work with surge. Also, I would contact the manufacturer of your trailer to see if a WDH is even recommended since it puts added stress on the tongue.

    5.7 e-torque or regular hemi?

    No worries!

    Breaking in your truck routine

    Just changed the oil for the first time on mine when it had a touch over 6k miles. Prior to that I towed with it and got on it from time to time. Didn't drive it any differently than I would have one with 50k miles on it. I was making WOT pulls in my Camaro shortly after firing my new engine...

    Got The SERVICE AXLE LOCKER SYSTEM Message

    You dislike the truck so much you had to make two separate posts about the same problem?

    5.7 e-torque or regular hemi?

    You're trying to say that the E-torque helps your new truck achieve 1.4-1.6 more mpg and helps accelerate faster than your old truck. Well no kidding, it should achieve better mpg figures and accelerate faster as it's 12 years newer with more HP/TQ and a much better transmission. Not a fair...

    AC - does anyone have a truck that blows ice cold?

    I don't use the auto setting and rarely use recirculate. I didn't touch the recirculate button all weekend. I wish it was something that simple though! Ha.

    5.7 e-torque or regular hemi?

    Your old 2007 Ram had less HP/TQ and wasn't an 8-speed either. You can't compare MPG or how it tows to your 2019.

    AC - does anyone have a truck that blows ice cold?

    Had the opportunity to drive my truck for 12 hours this past weekend. Temps were in the low 80's and ran the AC the entire time. It cooled sufficiently but it's far from the best AC I've felt. My wife's 2017 Hyundai Tucson blows considerably cooler. One thing I did notice with the Ram as well...

    Ram towing a Ford with a Chevy engine

    Towed my buddies Notchback Mustang from Des Moines to St. Louis and back this past weekend. The truck did as well as I expected. Averaged between 10.5-11 mpg running 70-75 which I didn’t think was too bad. I find the tow/haul mode does an awesome job downshifting when applying the brakes and...

    2019 Bighorn cold start difficulties

    It's under warranty. I'd be making an appointment at the dealer to let them troubleshoot it.

    Leasing info, frustrated, looking to be a RAM owner, hello to all!

    My MSRP was $1500 less and I pay $497 a month for a 15k/36mo. Mine isn’t a Laramie but I still think their offer is high.

    Leasing info, frustrated, looking to be a RAM owner, hello to all!

    I leased mine. MSRP was $53,100 and if I remember right the sale price of the truck was right around $46,000. I pay $497 a month for a 15k/36mo lease. The only thing I put down was first month's payment. I called around to several dealers to see if they could beat this price and I was told no...
