I forgot to add to my last post that one thing that causes a lot of heartburn with buyers of nearly all vehicles is that the EPA standard test that every manufacturer must use is really not realistic. The speed used is something on the order of 60mph with an average of 48mph for HIGHWAY driving...

First off, how fast are you driving on the highway? That makes a huge difference. I average 20.4 MPG over the last 2500 miles (to add to that my commute to work is typically 65-70, and I drive ~40% city / 60% hwy, 3.21 w. eTorque, standard 18" rims with GY Wranglers, pretty flat driving in...

Its a geographical thing, there can be different incentives depending on where you live. There can also be some that the website doesnt list like "conquest" (if you own a different brand vehicle) $1500. Call your sales person and have them or the finance department look through what deals are...

Owners manual says loads of 1000-2000 trailer brakes are recommended. loads over 2000lb trailer brakes are required. When you think about it, the truck weighs 5500lbs(ish). You've got 3500lbs of load back there. You are at 163% of the normal load on the brakes if the trailer brakes aren't...

Does your trailer have a 7-pin connector? If it does there should be a pin in there for the brakes. When you plug it into the Ram the brake controller will recognize that the trailer is connected Without the brake controller, your trailer does no braking, so if you didnt have an aftermarket...

This. I had Pentastar in my Jeep GC and just let the thing rev out when towing. I probably towed 10k miles with that thing wound out. It will be just fine. Its got an integral water/oil heat exchanger and the cooling system is stout.

The engine is exactly the same as before and the eTorque essentially does nothing when towing, it only is really doing something at low speeds. Did you tow this same trailer before? Thats a big box to pull through the air. When I tow a 5000lbs skid steer / trailer I notice it is vastly...

I had one of those things mailed to me that was $1500 and it expired but then they mailed me another. Some of these things expire and they issue new ones or the dealer can extend them. Check with your dealer to see whats avail.

This was exactly my thoughts. 5th gen has active noise cancellation, active vibration dampening, active air-dam, active grille shutters, lots of them have 12" screens, motorized side steps, heated/cooled seats, the list goes on and on. But eTorque is the thorn in people sides. And when I saw...

Im just curious what you would have bought then? Classic? HD?

I know there are those that just wouldn't buy one with e-Torque, but really how many wouldn't buy a 5th Gen just because of this? I wouldn't think its too many. And where you going to go? the Classic has it's days numbered and I wouldn't think many would be going to GM or Ford, those all have...

This. It's very unobtrusive. Plus i'm getting 19-20mpg in my mixed driving. All of us should be glad there is still a Hemi. That day is coming when the Hurricane 6 replaces it all together.

I believe they meant weight with fuel in them.

Market is stupid right now. My daughter has a 2014 Civic base model (40k miles), we bought it in 2017 for $10k. Today its worth $16k private party.

Yeah but you aren't just paying for the extra material. There is cost to engineer the tank factored in, the tooling to mold that tank, etc. Is it $445 more? oh hell no, but I'd bet its a lot more than $25. For the record I'm in the "why isn't the 33 gal standard" camp. Its too bad there is...

Guys at Donut Media just tested this plus others:

Tiny vibration felt in gas pedal (via floorboard /firewall I'm assuming). Mine does that if in 4WD Auto but doesn't in strait 2WD mode

They say 10k because that is what the industry has gone to in general, mostly because they want to tout "low maintenance" but is that a good number? For me no, it isn't. There are those that argue that modern synthetics will not break down in 10k, and I totally agree with that, however modern...
