    New Ram owner from San Diego

    . Welcome to Ram! Very sorry to hear you've had the dreaded water leak issue, I wish you the best in getting it resolved. . FWIW, I can attest that not all Rams are like yours. My 2020 has only been to the dealer once, for an oil change, never once had a single warranty issue in four years. Low...

    Did Ram solve the problem of warped Rambox lids on newly built vehicles?

    . It does seem odd that Ramboxes are standard. I'd bet that it's a programming issue with the build & price website, and even the ordering screens the dealers use have been known to have anomalies. Maybe wait awhile and see if the ordering websites get straightened out closer to the actual model...

    Demand For Electric Pickup Trucks Continue To Decline

    . Similar situation for me. I live less than ten miles from work, and I don't do any shopping at all unless I'm forced to, so 5-6 in-town short trips each week are the bulk of my usage. Because of that, I use my beater Prius for daily driver, the EcoDiesel for highway trips or when I need to...

    Considering a Ram 1500, but concerned about reliability... New to 5GenRam

    . I'm genuinely sorry that you had such a bad experience, it's sad. But my experience has been COMPLETELY OPPOSITE of yours. . My 2020 Laramie Longhorn has never once been to the dealer except for a battery check and an oil change. Not one single flaw or problem with mine. I'm a hard grader, but...

    . For me, the VAST majority will be on battery. But it would also mean the world to me knowing after the battery runs out of juice I'm able to keep going on gasoline. . Everyone has a unique use-case and unique sensibilities, thankfully at this time we still have options. Just for myself, I'm...

    UConnect Sux

    ' I understand what you're saying. It wasn't just the opinions of the journalists themselves, it was based on customer-survey results. But to each their own, and clearly you have a lot of knowledge of audio/infotainment systems and you know what you want. Best of luck in customizing your Ram to...

    UConnect Sux

    . You don't want to hear this, but Uconnect is considered by nearly every automotive journalist to be hands down the best infotainment system in the industry. Some of the other automakers are starting to catch up to Uconnect a bit now, but Uconnect has been rated the top one for many years in a...

    First time buyer

    . Poster "Eighty" is correct. If you turn off the Rear Cross Path braking via the hardware switch on the dash, not the touchscreen, it stops all warning noises and braking when backing. On my 2020, right next to the Tow/Haul switch . I turned mine off using the hardware switch on the dash the...

    Ram Leaks Images Of New Range Extended Ramcharger Model

    . It seems like Ram went for a more nuanced, sophisticated look for their grilles, whereas both Chevy and Ford went the opposite direction and just make them as big and squared-off looking as possible. GMC grilles are of course similar to Chevy's in size, but GMC rounds the corners a bit and...

    Ram Leaks Images Of New Range Extended Ramcharger Model

    . Yeah, I understand what you're saying. Since your post I've been paying more attention to trucks I see on the road, and I notice that GMC has at times had the letters centered in the grill, and at times higher up on the grill. But right now Ram is going with tying the Ram letters into the...

    Battery issue or no?

    My experience was similar to HSKR R/T's, except I am still on the original factory battery. I am guessing that maybe during or after an over-the-air update the 12" screen stayed on or something like that. . When I picked mine up from the dealer after the battery test, the tech suggested a...

    *Ecodiesel Owners

    My 2020 EcoDiesel (HPFP recall work NOT done yet) shows 20-21 PSI oil pressure at idle when warm. My understanding is that in order to save fuel, the oil pumps are variable-output. At idle, you don't need 30+ PSI oil pressure, assuming you have the right oil (i.e. not the 0W-40 oil of yesteryear).

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    . It's about time. IMO there should be no "low end" headlights, they should ALL be the best that Ram can deliver, period, just like all safety equipment. They don't downgrade the airbags or have weaker frames on lower trims, they shouldn't put anything but the best headlights the can on every...

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    . I got on the waiting list for a Ramcharger as soon as I could, I'm bracing myself for a price of $80-100k. But for me, I can trade in my low-miles EcoDiesel and the old Prius I use for in-town driving and my short daily commute, paring it down to one vehicle (Ramcharger) that can be both a...

    Ram Leaks Images Of New Range Extended Ramcharger Model

    . That's a great question, I wonder if Ram will answer it some day. . Ram says using a 350 kW charger at 400 volts it can add 50 miles to the battery in 10 minutes. 50 miles would be ~34% of the EV battery's capacity (50/145=0.34). The normal output of the "gen-set" (i.e. the 3.6 L gas v6...

    Ram Leaks Images Of New Range Extended Ramcharger Model

    . I agree, my top choice would be a diesel-electric hybrid. But because diesels are so expensive to build and maintain, and heavier, a diesel-electric hybrid doesn't really make as much sense for a light-duty vehicle, whereas diesel-electric makes plenty of sense for heavy-duty vehicles. ...

    . There is a lot of truth in what you way, the consumer is the easiest target . Still, they do go after factory emissions, too, and all of the diesel trucks in CA have all had DPFs and require DEF for many years now. .

    . Yes, the EPA can be a pain. But one thing to think about is, if the automakers had been truly responsible from the beginning and worked on making vehicle tailpipe emissions better on their own, the EPA might never have been formed. . IMO, it's a matter of "personal responsibility" to be 100%...
