    Heated Seats to hot?

    It regularly drops below zero through the winter over here: I wish my seats would get as hot as my steering wheel, which I find just right.

    How to time pickup date for custom ordered trucks to maximize $$?

    It depends on what you have in writing; I suspect most dealers (like mine) will at most document that you get the better of the current incentive or the incentive of when the truck arrives at dealership to discourage you from waiting on pickup, since that costs them money and insurance to store...

    Standard Fuel Tank Size for Rebel

    In that case, I would definitely vouch for the 33 gallon tank upgrade. The difference between 23 and 26 gallons will be negligible in this situation.

    Standard Fuel Tank Size for Rebel

    I believe Etorque gets 23 gallon tank, non-Etorque gets 26 gallon tank. For reference, my Laramie has a 23 gallon, and did not have an option for a 26 gallon. https://bit.ly/2C9Cayb

    3.21. vs 3.92 gear

    Technically, yes, at the trade off of higher potential reverse speed. 4Lo mitigates most of the issue when a load is present or slow speed is needed. Since you need to stop before switching back to drive anyway, switching in and out of electronic 4Lo isn’t a big deal.

    Any info on adding remote start?

    How much to get the system installed, and how much for the monthly fees? Curious on how it works on the '19 RAMs, as even those with the Nav package cost something like $300 a year after the 1 year trial for remote phone starting.

    DIY - 5th Gen Air Box Mod

    You're not wrong; unfortunately, it takes a lawyer to then refute the claim when they deny it, even if the onus is on them to prove it. Eventually, you may win then get reimbursed the $10k in lawyer fees and get warranty coverage on a repair; but that is a lot of money to put on hold until the...

    Anyone have burn in issues with there uconnect screen?

    I was actually replying to the OP; I should have specified. Although you first posting that you get ghosting until warm and then showing a blue screen was confusing, so that clarification still helps. I've yet to have any issues with my 8.4NAV (with a minor exception of not being able to adjust...

    Anyone put 18" wheels on their Limited?

    Every DT (Non-classic) Ram uses the same disc brakes, so an 18" wheel that fits the Tradesmen brakes will also fit the Limited brakes. While there are aftermarket 18" rims with fitment issues, there are also plenty more without them. The biggest issue is the type and placement of the weights...

    Anyone have burn in issues with there uconnect screen?

    That's Ghosting, not burn-in; Burn-in is a condition caused by wear on the LCD crystals in which the crystals can no longer return completely to their original points, being stuck at a point somewhere in between; sometimes it is only temporary and the crystals are just stuck (left on for days in...

    2019 Ram 1500 HEMI V8 Gets a Significant Bump in MPG from the Hybrid According to the EPA (News)

    Ask the EPA for their test vehicle if you want that rated mileage, because that isn't what anyone actually buys. The key takeaway is that E-Torque gives around 10-15% better mileage then an identical build without it, whatever that may be.

    Mopar bed step.

    Reordered from MoparAmerica and got a shipping confirmation with tracking this time. Not sure what warranted a "indefinite backorder - cancel everything" edict that only lasted a week, but at least it is on the way now.

    2019 Crash Test Ratings

    “Both small overlap ratings apply to trucks built after July, when the cab mounts to the vehicle frame were improved” Do the pre-July trucks really have cab mount issues? First I heard of this.

    Trade value?

    As Cannonball eluded, this is based on the state and can vary a lot; some tax you regardless, some do not tax vehicle purchases over a certain value at all, and even within the ones that do reduce the taxable sale the tax rate could make the sellings rather small ($10k at 10% tax only saves you...

    Trade value?

    Get an Instant Cash Offer from KBB, take that to a couple of the listed KBB partnered dealers to get the best real offer (they like to find a couple things to take more off), and compare that with a CarMax offer. Take the best offer in writing to the dealership; wait until after they make an...

    Etorque Battery Life

    Economics of scale will likely save you on cost by the time these are no longer covered by the warranty, as more and more vehicles are adding hybrid technology and requiring more batteries to be mass produced. 24 kWh Nissan Leaf (ours is only 0.4 kWh, 2% of the Leaf) batteries are $6k new, but...
