    Get a $1000 rebate

    Dealers and Ram always allow you to take either the rebates that were available when ypu ordered or the ones in effect when you take delivery. You will get whichever is the most. All other manufacturers do this and always have. Every truck or car that I have ordered was like this. No...

    Outside temp readings

    Maybe the same engineer who designed the mpg meter made the temp sensor. Both usually read higher than they actually are. HA!

    Non-Garage Queen RAMs cleaning recommendations

    I bought 4 qt bottles for $99, free shipping, no tax. The dealer tried to talk me into Zurich Shield for $399. When they said they could do the inside and out in about 2 hrs time, I decided against it. You can use TLC on leather seats, dash, vinyl, glass, paint, chrome, etc. I used it...

    Could the Ford Ranger EPA Fuel Mileage investigation also affect Ram?

    The EPA requires that they must test the biggest seller in each subgroup, and can use that figure for all the other vehicles in that subgroup. They can't arbitrarily pick the model they think will be most efficient. At least by that reasoning, a majority of people will at least get a model...

    Could the Ford Ranger EPA Fuel Mileage investigation also affect Ram?

    I noticed on TFL truck video that the trip meter was showing 96.6 miles, where they used a gps calculated fihgure of 98 miles. They didn't say anything about that. They showed the trip meter to show what the computer calculated for mpg, but didn't say anything about the distance actually...

    Could the Ford Ranger EPA Fuel Mileage investigation also affect Ram?

    Yes, I am aware that EPA doesn't actually do the testing, although they can if they want to, if they feel it is necessary to verify. Manufacturers are given strict guidelines to follow under severe financial penalties if they don't. Should have said EPA certifies their result.

    Could the Ford Ranger EPA Fuel Mileage investigation also affect Ram?

    The problem with TFL running a 98 mile loop at 70 mph to see what highway mpg is, it is not how the EPA rates the highway mileage. This is ok for real world testing, but won't match EPA numbers.

    Quick oil filter question, Changing my oil for the first time today..

    I have used that exact oil filter removal tool on my old 2012 and 2014 Rams. Works great! I assume the filter is in the exact same location on the 2019.

    Horrific Gas Mileage Hemi eTorque

    The problem with using the Chevy 4 cylinder for a comparison is that GM actually tested this combination since it would be a volume seller with that drivetrain. Ram doesn't actually test the rebel itself. It uses its volume seller as a crew cab, 5.7 e-torque, 3.21 gears. That doesn't take...

    Horrific Gas Mileage Hemi eTorque

    Like I said. They test trucks with approx. the same weight, engine size, trasmisson, etc. They don't diiferentiate between cabs like crew, quad, or regular. Nor do they differentiate between tire types, sizes, rear ends, options, bed length such as 5'7" or 6' 4".. They do test different...

    Horrific Gas Mileage Hemi eTorque

    Manufacturers are only required to test their largest selling version of a particular truck or car. It is too costly to test every possible combination, such as cab type (regular, quad, or crew), rear axle ratio, options that add weight such as pano sunroofs and ramboxes, types of tires and...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Foreign trucks only pay the 25% tariff if they are not made in USA, Mexico , or Canada. There are no "foreign" trucks that I know of that' is imported from abroad that pays the tariff. Nissan and Toyota are either made here or in Mexico.

    UConnect Nav Guidance Volume setting

    I think my navigation guidance will stay at whatever level I set it, but the speed limit warning always goes back to loud after the truck is turned off. It is like the speed limit warning is not controlled by the navigation voice setting.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Yes, still an excellent price. Beats my 11% off.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    That is 22.5% off. Not 30%. 30% off would be $$18,300, or a price paid of $42,700.
