    RAM 1500 owners...Tell me the pros and cons. I'm trying to decide which pickup to buy. Edit: I bought a '24 RAM 1500 Limited! Yippee!

    Ever owned a Titan? I don’t think they are any more reliable than the big 3. Cracked exhaust manifolds has been a problem for them since day one, and the placement of cat converters means when they go bad, the pieces get sucked back into the engine.

    I don’t know if your friend had mud tires or aftermarket exhaust, but my 5.7 with 3.92 is by far the quietest vehicle I’ve owned. It puts my wife’s Audi to shame.

    2021 RAM 1500 - Engine Surging when Braking

    My 22 non etorque Hemi does this as well.

    Blackstone oil analysis, high iron and copper only have 22k miles on engine

    I don’t know that the added protection is needed. I also don’t know if any changes were made when they made the change. I do know that VVT engines are very particular about the oil used. It would be interesting to do a study on engine failures with different grades of oil, but I’d wager 99%+ of...

    Blackstone oil analysis, high iron and copper only have 22k miles on engine

    Why stop at 5w-30? Why not 20w-50? It offers more protection. I will install what the engineers deemed my engine needs. If I am wrong, I have a warranty to cover me.

    Anyone have similar issue with 2022 RAM V8 HEMI eTorque surging when coming to a stop?

    Mine is standard Hemi, not etorque. The lurching is going to rear end someone someday.

    Anyone have similar issue with 2022 RAM V8 HEMI eTorque surging when coming to a stop?

    I have a similar feeling on my non etorque Hemi. If I back out of a spot, put it in drive, press the throttle slightly to move up 10 feet or so, then hit the brake, it surges and lurches forward.

    F150 Owner Bought a Ram Limited.......Dissapointed.

    TFL did a MPG gauntlet. Surprisingly, the Hemi got better MPG towing.

    Mopar extended warranty

    For me, it was a no brainer. The added care plus was less than $1100 for 8/96.

    Midsize vs Fullsize Towing Threshold?

    I started out with a Tacoma. It struggled with a 4K lb travel trailer, and a 21 gallon tank at 10 mpg sucked. Got a Ram Hemi and it is night and day.

    New truck question. Speaker noise when first open door normal?

    Mine was losing presets and blank screen, too. The dealer reflashed it, and has been perfect since August. It does pop when opening doors, though.

    33 gal tank

    Some of these towns I would have to stop at are $1.50 more per gallon not $.03. Heading north from Vegas is all tiny towns until you get to Reno.

    33 gal tank

    23 gallons at 9 mpg is only a little over 200 miles. I live in Vegas. If I had to fill up every 200 miles while towing, I would be stopping at all the expensive gas stations in the middle of nowhere. I want to choose where I fill up.

    Terrible MPG - 2022 RAM 1500 4WD Crew Cab Short Box 5.7

    Wow. Something seems way off. Mostly city Hemi/3.92 I get over 16. I’m getting better mileage than you while towing a travel trailer.

    Potential First Time Ram Owner Debating on Trim Levels

    If you want a Bighorn with leather, Ram sells a Katzkin aftermarket for a reasonable price. There is also custom fit Clazzio leather seat covers available for 500 or so You can get a new Bighorn in your price range depending on the configuration you want. I paid less than 45k for my quad cab...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Your logic is flawed. You cannot buy a truck exactly like your old ones. Vehicle manufacturers have to keep up with regulations, increasing safety rules, increasing mpg, etc. That costs r&d money.
