    power running boards

    I can't speak for after-market deployable running boards. I have the factory power running boards on my 2022, and I won't be getting them again if I have a choice. First, the running boards collect debris thrown up by the front wheels, and mud flaps don't help. Next, they fail to work in the...

    One year with 2023 Ecodiesel

    I hope they do bring it back. They finally got it right so what did they do, discontinue.

    Disabling front and rear defrost with remote start.

    When I get in my truck after a remote start, it is like stepping into a hurricane-type environment until I push the engine start button. I've never seen an option to change this behavior, but I wouldn't want to.

    Eco diesel with Firestone xts

    You can go crazy trying to find the perfect tire; so many choices. Find a tread pattern that will give you the traction needed and a side look that goes with the truck, that should narrow the choices down. Then pick the ones that are on sale.

    Ram MSRP being slashed soon?

    That reminds me of what retailers do when they put on a big sales event. They advertise huge discounts, and in reality, the price you pay is about the same or a bit higher than everyday pricing. Tell them what they want to hear, and they will believe, I guess.

    Ram MSRP being slashed soon?

    I'll say it: truck pricing is way too high. It is the most profitable vehicle built. The MSRP needs to come down a lot. I don't know about the pricing on Ford SDs, but I just priced out a 3500 GMC AT4 nicely equipped, and its MSRP was quite a bit lower than a compatible RAM HD. I had to give up...

    Dealer cost to upgrade software?

    NO! I have a 2022 with the 12" Uconnect 5 system. As far as I know, the system automatically updates itself over the air. You can also set up WIFI and have the system update that way. My 2022 connects to my home's WIFI and updates this way; I've also had updates come over the air on long trips...

    The best bed cover?

    You left the door open awfully wide. What is best for you, hardcover or softcover, tri-fold or roll-up. Does your truck have RAM boxes or the multifunction split tailgate?

    2025 Ram 1500 Laramie w/twin turbo Hurricane

    That is a rather terse response to a first-time poster who is learning her way around the forum. You could have offered her guidance instead.

    Battery Change: Optima Yellow Top AGM or Not?

    I know power sports and garden tractor types are sourced from other manufacturers, but I thought the thread's context was automotive batteries.

    Battery Change: Optima Yellow Top AGM or Not?

    Johnson Controls makes Interstate and Everstart; they manufacture about 2/3s of the batteries sold in the US. East Penn makes Deka and makes up the balance.

    2020 Ram fluid change intervals

    ^^^ Bingo! Everything you need to know is in the scheduled maintenance section of the owner's manual. If you did not get an owner's manual, you can download one from the Internet or use the link included.

    Battery Change: Optima Yellow Top AGM or Not?

    I just put a set of Interstate 94R AGMs in my 2015 Cummins this past summer. I got them from Costco for $174 each. The factory batteries lasted 8 1/2 years; both were just passing the "toaster" test, and it was time. I have a Deka in my Generac (whole home backup generator), and Everstarts in...

    Active ParkSense Temporarily Unavailable - 2020 1500 Limited

    I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. It is far simpler and faster to just part the truck than go through the rigmarole with the park assist.
