    Ram Leaks Images Of New Range Extended Ramcharger Model

    You have to consider that (1) they’ve already engineered that engine to fit, (2) it’s cheap to make more of something you’re already producing, and (3) it won’t make peak power here - rather, it will likely be tuned for maximum economy at a steady-state RPM - which means it may only produce the...

    Demand For Electric Pickup Trucks Continue To Decline

    Re: the OP here, I think we're still in a "wait and see" moment. Given the slew of breakthroughs in battery technology in 2023 alone, we'll see triple the range and drastically reduced charge times (50-95%, depending on technology) coming to market over the next few years. I think the only...

    Get tint strip on top windshield: yea or nay?

    That'd be a negative, Ghostrider (to the OP).

    Major malfunction

    You’ll get all sorts of glitchy behavior if the battery starts to go, as suggested above. Crazy clicking and lights.

    LTD vs Power Wagon

    They would've gotten my attention, too—if I hadn't already purchased (and started enjoying) my Longhorn.

    Where are my Michiganders at?

    Good to know. Part time Michigander here (north of Ionia).

    Air suspension not auto raising

    Do you happen to be using remote start after loading?

    The “Tailgate Wars” Are Back On With Ford’s New “Pro Access Tailgate”

    Ram's design makes practical sense. I'm not a fan of the off-center split, though. I'd prefer something that can be used from either side equally. (Yes, I realize that would have meant engineering a unique latching mechanism for MFT trucks.)

    What early 5th Gen issues are still affecting the 2023 models?

    I'm lucky to have experienced none of those issues (yet) with my 2019 (built July 2018). My RamBox lids are also pretty well aligned (not perfect), but I know that's been a common complaint. We've all experienced some quirks with UConnect (both 4 and 5), so I'm not sure you can consider that...

    How many miles a year do you put on your RAM?

    Just over 5 years since I took delivery of my ‘19, I’m approaching 45K miles.

    Falken Wildpeak

    Same here. I’m at 44k on the OEM tires with lots of tread depth but a little rounding on the edges.

    4x4 Auto Question

    My guess is you bumped the gear limiting buttons on the steering wheel (which would persist until a restart if selected). But that’s just a guess.

    Air Suspension Fix?

    Mine has seen several Texas summers and Michigan winters thus far without issue…knock on wood.

    SHOCKING: Meet The All-New Ram 1500 REV Battery-Electric Pickup!

    We just returned from a trip to Ireland where we rented a Nissan Qashqai two weeks in a row. In both cases, ours were equipped with a true extended range hybrid powertrain. All electric drive with a small onboard gas generator. And it was awesome. Smooth, quick, and with a range of roughly 875km...

    High mileage 2019 advice

    That’s a lot of miles, but that also means it’s likely that any build issues were hashed out a lot of miles ago. Now it’s a question of whether wear-and-tear parts have been / are being maintained. It’s hard to really know without service records and the vehicle’s backstory, but you can have...

    Two-Tone Laramie Longhorn

    Walnut brown, I believe.

    Best place to purchase Mopar official Mopar warranty- dont buy from local dealer!

    $100 deductible. But that’s fine if it covers an engine, transmission, or infotainment system!

    Best place to purchase Mopar official Mopar warranty- dont buy from local dealer!

    Correct - Lifetime MaxCare for me. I purchased it in the fall of 2018, shortly before they were discontinued (and just a couple of months after taking delivery of my ‘19).

    I Just purchased a 2019 Laramie Longhorn 4x4 in Patriot Blue......

    Many of us agree that Ram nailed it with the black/saddle Longhorn interior. It was tough for me to decide between the Patriot Blue and Delmonico Red exterior, but I ultimately ordered mine in red after seeing it in the sun. Here are some pics from those early days...I'm happy to report that...
