    People with gas mileage issues

    I came from a 2500 Suburban with the 8.1L and 4.10’s. It’d get 11-12 with nothing behind it and 9-10 with our 26’ boat. I don’t expect 20 mpg out of mine but would sure like upper teens.

    Cruise set at 70 with a 20-25 mph tailwind.

    For those that want to add the factory trailer brake controller...

    $57 to program my controller. I’ll take it. Shows up on the dash like it should. I’ll be pulling my car trailer this weekend so I’ll be able to confirm it actually works.

    For those that want to add the factory trailer brake controller...

    If they charge me for anything more than 30 minutes I will be extremely pissed. My service department has already been a pain to work with and actually get them to look at most of my concerns.

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    My thoughts exactly. Now we are just coming out of winter so I am hoping to see some change for the better here soon. When I dropped my truck off at the dealer yesterday it did show 15.6 MPG and that was with about 150 miles on that tank of mostly highway runs.

    Transmission problems?

    Transmission problems are really a thing of the way past for FCA products. The 45RFE trans used in the early 2000's was an issue for trucks/SUV's. They've come a long way since then.

    People with gas mileage issues

    Nowhere near that with mine. Right now my dash is showing 15.6 and that's a lot of 60-65 MPH flat highways with cruise on. My Fuely Ap shows 13.9 MPG. Was hoping it would get a little bit better than it has been...

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    My build date was July 2018 and my truck is currently getting 13.9 MPG according to my Fuely App. If there is an update for the engine then I will let my dealer know as it's there right now for a few things. Like SilverSurfer said though, a 3.92 truck will show around 2k RPM's at 75 MPH...

    For those that want to add the factory trailer brake controller...

    Absolutely insane. I took mine in yesterday and the service guy told me they estimate up to an hour for any flash. I showed them the picture Grinch posted (cropped out everything but the TBC notes) and told them if it's going to cost much more than that to not do it. He said that they will only...

    Trailer Tow Package??

    Any configuration of Ram you get will tow that boat just fine. I've towed our 26' boat with a variety of vehicles. 02 Avalanche, 03 Suburban 2500, 03 Silverado 1500HD, 13 Tahoe, and will now be using my Ram. I know it won't tow as well as my 8.1L BBC Suburban, but it will tow a lot better than...

    Adding Factory brake controller?

    Mine lights up at night if that’s what you mean? Mine hasn’t been programmed yet.

    Photos of ‘19 Ram towing your boat

    Wasn’t trying to be an ***! Lol. Nice boat for sure. We used to have a 98 18’ Four Winns with a 5.0L. Upgraded to the Mariah a few summers ago.

    What size is the red Four Winns? I highly doubt it weighs over 8,000 lbs even with the trailer. Our 26’ Mariah doesn’t even weigh that. Here it is behind my old 2500 Suburban.

    That’d be awesome if the Tazer did that for sure. I’d be all about that if the dealer tried to gouge me on the flash.

    I tried a pry tool but eventually gave up and just grabbed the top and pulled. It sounds extremely violent unsnapping but I didn't break anything, lol.

    Type the part numbers into google and a ton of mopar parts sites pop up. I got everything needed for $112 shipped.

    Thanks Grinch! I am going to take that with me to show my dealer. Hopefully they will do it for the same price.

    2wd vs. 4wd

    This is right here. My Dad has owned a 2WD Avalanche in Iowa for many years. He's never gotten stuck in the snow and has never had an issue pulling the boat out of the water. With that being said, I'd never own a truck or SUV without 4WD (for daily driver purposes) due to how I use my vehicles...
