    2026 Ram 1500 release?

    Where does time go? :unsure: I feel like I just got my 2021 and now we're posting about 2026s! :)

    Stellantis Wanted to Keep the HEMI® V8—But Tavares Said No

    What i read suggested they are just using stockpiled Hellcat engines. Edit: Sorry that was bringing back the TRX.

    Comparison to Mega Cab

    The seat bottoms in the 1500 fold up so you can get a pretty large box or boxes in the back, aided by the flat floor and the wide opening doors.

    2020+ ram 1500 ecodiesel

    I'm at 24,500 on my 2021 and I've had the recalls and the TSB for the brake moan when backing. The only repair was a blown boost pipe (I may be misremembering the proper name for the part) that was somehow not under the powertrain warranty. It has two primary uses: trips to the coast (300 miles...

    Ecodiesel spotlighting problem! (PLEASE DONT COOK ME)

    A Longhorn likely isn't going to have much payload to start with. My limited has the Off Roaf Group, but no sunroof, MFT. or Ramboxes and it's 1317#. 12% of 9000# is 1080#, leaving not much payload for whatever is in the front or back of the truck. All the advice here is good.

    Harmon Kardon 19 speaker system sound quality

    I know this was an old thread that resurfaced but I've been really happy with mine as well.

    Anyone else hope this platform is successful?

    For as long as I continue to tow our travel trailer, I'm hoping its successful because I worry about the long term support for my EcoDiesel. It seems like it would have the diesel's low end torque and easy towing, plus the convenience of being able to pull through a gas pump when towing--it...

    New Buyer Ram Engine Preference Survey: V8 vs. 6 Cyl. Turbo, or Std 6 Cyl

    Im becoming increasingly intrigued by the V6, but in the Ramcharger setup. I worry about the long term support for my Ecodiesel (which i love.) I dont plan to trade soon but if I did, the Ramcharger would get a very serious look.

    ABS MODULE BACK ORDER ? 😤

    There is some sort of ABS recall. I got the notice but can't remember the details.

    Thinking of buying a 2023 Grand Design Transcend Explor 260RB

    This has been debated here (I think) and definitely on the Lance message board I'm on, but I'm pretty sure that there is no allowance for a driver in the payload. It does assume a full tank of fuel, though. So, the full weight of the driver is deducted from the payload.

    Intro + Perfectly Wrong in Every Possible Way

    I'm not sure I'm remembering correctly, but for a while on my 2021, I wasn't getting audio turn-by-turn through Android Auto and I THINK it was because the phone was connected by USB but also Bluetooth was on. For some reason they weren't getting along. I don't pay attention now so I can't say...

    3.0 HO as an OPTION

    Wow. I might be misremembering but I'm pretty sure I've seen my truck in eight gear at 35-40mph. I'll have to look next time I'm driving it. I guess it's the low end torque of the diesel?

    What are you towing?

    While I was never a CRX guy back in the day, I think it's awesome to see people keeping the older cars alive and out there. If I go to a Cars and Coffee, I'd spend more time looking at cars like yours than a Porsche, etc...

    The best bed cover?

    I've got a BakFlip MX4 tri-fold cover and have had very little water leakage even in extremely hard rains. When it has leaked (about 2 or 3 times) it's been maybe a tablespoon or two, at the corners, not in the middle. It does not take up that much bed space when folded up (maybe six inches...

    What are you towing?

    That picture was actually when I was picking it up from a guy in Virginia. I always liked them in my high school/college days, but never had one so I decided I cant' leave the earth without having experienced one. It's nearly forty years old, so it doesn't ride like a modern vehicle, but it...

    Ram Rev Delayed To 2026 Ramcharger Due 2025

    I saw that picture online but am not enough of a gearhead to be able to envision it inside of an engine bay. The version I saw highlighted some of the components and showed that an electric motor was adjacent to the engine, so that obviously takes up some of the space. What is the silver tank in...

    Towing with the rebel EcoDiesel

    I'm not towing as heavy a camper and have a Limited vs a Rebel, but I've found that getting the WDH right makes a world of difference. I'm a pretty cautious driver and I feel every real and imaginary problem when towing. I've had my WDH improperly dialed in and 55mph on a calm day was a little...

    Ram Rev Delayed To 2026 Ramcharger Due 2025

    I'm curious what the engine bay looks like in the Ramcharger setup compared to the same truck with just the 3.6L gas engine. Is there more empty space? Less? I suppose the A/C etc... are powered by the batteries. So fewer belts coming off the engine?

    Payload rating and trying to decide on the right truck

    There used to be a way to see a trucks payload by its VIN code. When I was researching our truck, I'd look on dealer sites to find trucks as close to what I was going to order as possible. Then, I'd take their VIN off the window sticker and plug it into the payload-by-vin site. I was able to...
