    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    2025 SST SO Bighorn Level 2 Night Edition. I’m 9,000 miles in now. Everything’s been great for the most part. Added nerf bars and an undercover flex tri-fold cover. The only issues have been some of the intermittent electrical gremlins that most every truck seems to have these days: - it will...

    Very rough intense ugly sound on startup . 2025 Ram Bighorn

    The clicking sound is the high pressure fuel pump. In my experience they are not normally that loud. It’d be worth showing that video to your dealership to get their opinion if the truck is still under warranty. If that pump fails, or loses pressure during operation (the hurricane runs really...

    OEM wheels and tires - Did you sell them?

    I’d keep them until you use the new wheels and tires for a while. If the new ones don’t balance as well, you’ll get tired of the shaky ride pretty quick. After that, if you’re satisfied, just sell them online and get ready to take a low offer. Seems like OEM wheels don’t resell very well generally.

    2019 or 2017

    For those two, I’d have to see the specific builds and mechanical history, and have them checked over by a mechanic first. Whichever was more mechanically sound and have options I preferred, that’s the one I’d go with.

    Payload rating and trying to decide on the right truck

    My 2025 bighorn has 1727lbs of payload. SO SST, level 2 pkg, night edition. Let go of some of the luxury items and you’ll have all the payload you need. I moved from a Bighorn to a Limited, then back down to a Bighorn b/c all the “luxury” wore off after a few months. Both bighorns rode/ride...

    won't save volume levels after update

    Same issue here. Wish they would change that. Very annoying.

    Tow/Haul Mode Switch Addon

    On the 25’s, it’s one of the drive modes you choose via the buttons on the steering wheel.

    Any advantage to using premium fuel

    I’ve ran both 87 and 93 in my SO. Minimal noticeable difference. Perhaps a bit of power loss on the top end and a tiny mpg loss on 87. Nothing worth sticking to 93.

    3.0 HO as an OPTION

    I bet it’ll be an option for the Laramie and maybe big horn in a couple years. Start it high-only, then bring it down-ticket after a year or two.

    Exhaust manifold leak

    I’ve dealt with that issue twice in the past. Other shorties did very little if anything to help performance. The passenger side swap should go smoothly. It’s the driver side that’s the headache. Also, there most likely will be bolts stuck in the head that you’ll have to extract. Since it...

    Is there a sport mode?

    The Eco diesel engine wasn’t made for sport. It was made for smoothness and fuel efficiency. A tune is pretty much the only way you’re gonna get rid of that turbo lag. The stock tune setup is hampered by government emissions requirements, sport or no.

    Payload question

    Assuming it’s bagged pellets on an actual pallet (like what Lowe’s sets out to sell individual bags of), the load in would be the scariest part to me. Whoever is driving that forklift better be really good. That amount of weight would need to be placed properly in the bed over the axle. I...

    Is there a sport mode?

    I don’t think so. However, even if it did, it’d be more of a gimmick; make the gas pedal a bit more sensitive, maybe hold one gear lower, and stiffen up the steering a touch.

    Language changes to italian

    Same issue here. Had the truck for a month and it’s happened twice so far. Good old electrical issues.

    A/C performance in the new 3 lite sixes?

    AC has been great on my ‘25 SST SO. 19’s and 20’s had the blend door issue. I would clamp the heater hose off during the summer on my ‘19 to get the AC colder. No issues on the new truck.

    Early feedback on Laramie SO

    Same experience here pretty much. Feels awesome. The throttle response isn’t perfect yet, but that’s me hunting for negatives. This engine is sweet.

    Heads up for anyone chasing down rear window leak.

    The rear cabin pressure vents also can leak into the cab and cause water to pool under the rear seat. If the leak continues, I’d check there next.

    Magsafe Charger help

    Do they plug directly into the car’s usb ports? If so, try a 12v outlet or 120v outlet adapter. I believe the vehicle usb ports are expecting to see a smart device rather than just putting out a constant 5v current for charging. Charging some devices, like my mobile hotspot, shaves the same...

    First Tire Replacement - Suburban Driving

    Michelin Defender LTX M/S. I’ve been running them for 30k miles and they’re still as good as they were new. My driving profile and tire priorities are very similar to yours.

    Downgrading from 12 inch UConnect 5?

    Exact same boat here. Almost never use the physical AC controls. Almost always use the comfort controls. I wish the physical buttons were swapped on the 12”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
