    Parking Brake

    I never thought of using 4x4 just in case so that the front wheels were involved. On 95% of the ramps that I launch from, my rear tires aren't in the water. There is one lake with heavy milfoil that causes the steep ramp to be slippery. That's one of the few times outside of winter when I'm...

    Sirius XM Renewal

    Those of you getting the $60 deals, I assume that is for the basic "music" package that does not include every NFL/NBA/NHL game?

    Slight bump letting off the brake

    Here and there, mine will lurch when the engine restarts at a light. Try experimenting by manually turning off the start/stop feature.

    Yet another Etorque question

    I suspect that Ram, like most other manufacturers, specifically sourced a one-piece unit so that instead of replacing a cheap fan they can get $3,600 out of a customer instead.

    Lug Nut Replacement

    I looked it up. Originally I had some by Orion but then switched to the McGard black set. Those McGard ones are good. I even bought a set of McGard lugs to replace the rusted ones on my snowmobile trailer. So far so good.

    Lug Nut Replacement

    I have the black out package on my 2021. I thought it was odd that black rims came with chrome lugs. The first set of black lugs off of Amazon scratched easily but my second set is going on two years and still looking sharp. Don't pay $230

    Can I tow this much?

    I was going to make a similar point. The OP should absolutely make sure that trailer brakes are installed as I think that control and braking are bigger issues going downhill rather than getting up the hill.

    33 gallon tank and fuel gauge

    I also agree. As a financial manager I think that this is low quality... 😁

    K&N Cabin Filter

    Sure it would flow better but then you potentially get debris in the evaporator core, blower motor, etc.

    Goodyear Ultraterrain vs Falken Wildpeak A/T3W

    I'm still loving them. There is no road noise that I am aware of, but my radio is always on.

    Is there going to be a new forum section for the 2025 6th generation of Ram trucks?

    Crap! I better check the step-by-step frontal lobotomy instructions that I got off of Google AI...!!!

    K&N Cabin Filter

    I guess that I'm speaking a bit out of my rear end, but much like your furnace filter, you can buy air filters that are thinner and let more air pass through. The question one really needs to be able to answer is whether the filter is doing the intended job.

    Pedal Position

    I get foot pain when holding it wide-open throttle for 300 miles, but I can usually walk it off while pumping in more gas, then repeat.

    Extended warranty

    I switched from being a long time, frustrated Ford guy. My 2015 developed the Hemi-tick around 60k. By 80k I was getting warnings about a misfire in Cylinder 5. Eventually around 105k someone correctly diagnosed it as cam & lifter failure. I then bought a 2021 and my first ever extended...

    Active Park Assist hit another vehicle

    Were you parking on an incline or decline? That would certainly make it roll faster.

    Remote start not working when cold

    Sounds like you need to find a different dealer for service.

    Aftermarket subwoofer options? Don’t want to lose storage

    Don’t overlook building your own sub box. It’s a very easy project even for mechanically-challenged folks. Watch a few online videos if needed. I built this and put it in my 2021 bighorn. Yes there are important factors to pay attention to but it’s not rocket science.

    Normal engine temperatures?

    My 2015 Bighorn opened earlier, but my 2021 doesn't open until 210 (maybe 10% of the time at 208). Everything is bone stock. It's no concern as this is all well within normal parameters.

    Normal engine temperatures?

    Like clockwork, my t-stat opens at 210 every time. The coolant drops to about 196-198 and then stabilizes at 206 degrees. I've seen it rise to 220 sitting inside the carwash, but it usually stays at 206 even when I'm towing my boat or snowmobile trailer.

    Newbie...potential newbie wanting to say hello.......

    The 5.7L is a great engine. The big things that you listed are all non-issues. Electronics I think last as long as any other brand, which in my opinion is not long enough. Ram trucks have their issues just like any vehicle. Snoop around the forum enough and you'll see complaints about leaks...
