As per Mopar Insider, they are expected to bring US made Hemi 5.7L back into the 1500, starting maybe as soon as 2026 models, but as a base motor behind both Hurricanes and only on lower trims, likely Laramie / Rebel and below? Also a question on how soon they could actually start production on...

Doesn't the DT 5th gen weigh more? Factor in the axle ratio and similar driveline and you will get lower mpg compared to your old truck. Compounded especially with you have a Rebel or ORP truck with 33" A/Ts. I get about 12.5 mpg mixed, about 75% city driving like a normal person. If I...

Officially the manual states never to go beyond 10,000 miles or 1 year regardless of what the computers says. That being said, most dealers don't worry about 35 miles beyond that, but this is modern day Stellantis we are talking about right now, you don't want to give them any ammo in case you...

True, a vehicle is really a tool, it gets old and superseded by better tools. Until it gets so old it becomes cool again and goes up in price decades later as a sentimental thing. Though like sports cars, I think trucks hold hold a more emotional attachment to owners hearts. Ex FCA CEO said...

I double checked, my Carvana and Carmax offers from a year ago actually went up.

The sticker price on my truck was 55k, I got it for 39k, essentially 25% discount because at the time FCA was trying to beat Chevy for second in truck sales, this was July 2019. Big discounts was always part of the deal when you buy a full size American truck, probably for decades. Usually...

Based on used prices, at least in my area, I don't see a big difference between the makes or a big drop either. Double check the listings, make sure they aren't fake, also make sure they are clean titles, expected mileage for age, condition etc. to get a represenative sample of asking prices.

If you allow your tire pressure to get the red warning, it must be pumped back up to the recommended pressure rating before the red light warning goes away, even if you have other tires below that pressure without the warning. If you see red, pump it up to the recommended pressure (as per your...

No, that is not the case. Probably a technical info error on the machine for the 2019 DT trucks that they didn't bother fixing.

My first set of OEM blades lasted me 4-5 years, loved them, essentially streak free the whole time. I bought another factory set and very happy with them. This is the only set of blades I didn't go aftermarket with because they are so good.

Pretty rare, awesome to see. I follow Turbo Transport, another UK based RAM owner, who uses it for his luxury car hauler business, also has a black RAM 5th gen, usually hauling an enclosed trailer with a Bugatti or Ferrari across the channel. Is your mpg calculations based on the UK 4.5l...

Corrosion X will work, its a simple spray, similar to WD-40, but more than a water repellent, it actively neutralizes rust and prevents it from coming back. Also great for electronics, protecting them even from salt water. We have used Corrosion X for decades in the boating and RC...

Assuming the dealership (or you) adjust the tire air pressures correctly, which is 55F/45R instead of the likely 65F delivery pressure, they it should be comfortable but slightly firm due to the off-road oriented spring ratings and shocks. The delivery air pressure is high to prevent flat...

I can see both sides, because you will hurt your customers resale if you lower msrp, in that case they should really increase incentives like they did in the past, I bought my truck with 25% off msrp, which was standard back before covid near the end of the year. However, when it comes to...

Good point on more people buying the cheaper vehicle, though considering the average RAM is now approaching $60K in value, I think the reality is somewhere in the middle. My point however is, the more you pay, the more upset you get when it has issues, especially when the cheaper one doesn't...

Sure, but depends on the vehicle. My wifes Lexus LX is over 100K, has every gadget imaginable and hasn't had a single issue. That's not my point, I'm just noting that human nature is that if you pay more, you get more upset when they have issues. To say you don't get bothered more when...

Sure, though quality and reliability are often different things. It may feel like a smear campaign, especially since we own them, but people clearly have issues. Is it out of proportion to reality? Likely, as is the whole Toyota Tundra and Tacoma thing. The truth I'm sure is somewhere in the...

Hmmmm, maybe? I expect both to be reliable, I agree with that. But I think I'll definitely be more upset if I bought an expensive vehicle and it's having similar issues over a cheaper one. Another common scenario, if I own both a cheap and expensive one at the same time, and the expensive...

I know it's hard to look at right now, but how do you improve? Stellantis is in the news right now, and not for the right reasons. Even the biggest cheerleaders are complaining for a reason.

Yes, both quality and reliability expectations. You think someone paying $70,000 for a new truck and having issues right off the bat is going to forgive it more than if they paid $40,000 for a different vehicle? Factor in the lowest customer dealership service ratings in the industry, and you...
