. I agree, my top choice would be a diesel-electric hybrid. But because diesels are so expensive to build and maintain, and heavier, a diesel-electric hybrid doesn't really make as much sense for a light-duty vehicle, whereas diesel-electric makes plenty of sense for heavy-duty vehicles. ...

. There is a lot of truth in what you way, the consumer is the easiest target . Still, they do go after factory emissions, too, and all of the diesel trucks in CA have all had DPFs and require DEF for many years now. .

. Yes, the EPA can be a pain. But one thing to think about is, if the automakers had been truly responsible from the beginning and worked on making vehicle tailpipe emissions better on their own, the EPA might never have been formed. . IMO, it's a matter of "personal responsibility" to be 100%...

. I always wanted a diesel-electric pickup, for the very reason you cite: Diesel engines are significantly more fuel-efficient. But by the time one pays for all of the emissions gear necessary to make diesels viable in today's world, there is very rarely a reasonable economic payback for diesel...

. Agreed, but hydrogen production and distribution has all kinds of downsides, like every single energy technology mankind has ever discovered or developed. Best case is extracting it from the earth, supposedly the next best is via electrolyzers powered by solar panels or wind turbines, then...

. It's definitely a good thing to clean up diesel exhaust, it's really nasty stuff if left raw. It's expensive to clean up, and a pain to maintain, but NOBODY, no living being, should ever breathe diesel exhaust. . Interestingly, most modern "GDI" (gasoline direct injection) engines in cars emit...

. You're right, time will tell, but I'm betting time will show that it's genius, not stupid. . Ram's reveal of the Ramcharger states that once the EV battery is depleted after the first 140 miles, the truck can go another 540 miles on the 27-gallon tank of gasoline, which means that in generator...

Congratulations, welcome, and that's a beautiful truck! . You're probably aware that newish bluejeans (and black jeans) will transfer their coloring to the leather where your butt slides across the side bolsters, but in particular the light-colored leather in the Limited shows the blue (or...

Mmmm...not to my eyes, and not according to today's photos. Yes, both grilles have a horizontal-bars theme, yes, both have three letters, but the similarities stop there. The Ram grille design is a more refined style, whereas GMC is trying so hard to be butch. The Ram grille is vertically...

. Hopefully whenever Ram gets around to fully updating the HD's they'll win you back. But until then, maybe just not so many full-on photos of the Ford? Nothing against the Fords or the GMs, they're all great trucks, it just seems weird to see so many full-on photos of an F350 in a dedicated Ram...

As others here have already stated, I absolutely LOVE my 2020 Laramie Longhorn with air suspension, Ramboxes and MFT. Don't forget to also order BUG (bed upgrade) so you also get the cargo divider, it's super-handy. If you do order BUG and get the cargo divider, this kit allows you to use the...

. My fuel-economy estimator is never correct, it almost always estimates 1-2 MPG higher than the hand-calculation numbers reveal. I have no idea how the algorithms work, but for my driving, it's always overly optimistic. . Regarding the missing engine-block heater, one possibility that occurred...

Yes, the lower two-tone on mine is the Walnut Brown (Billet Silver on top). I really like your paint, looks great and as you said, not many that color around. Ram's Patriot Blue is similar in that in direct sunlight it's definitely blue, but under less-intense lighting, it almost appears black.

. Sorry for the late follow-up, but attached are a couple of photos related to your first post: (1) tailpipe on my 2020 ED with 10 k miles, (2) location of the engine block heater pigtail. . For some reason, the tailpipe photo appears to have rotated 90 degrees, the rust spot is at the bottom of...

Thanks everyone for all the heads-up info on the demise of UConnect and My Ram apps. Based on this thread, I'm not touching the new Ram app until the IT people get their act together. I rarely access either of the two old apps, so I can afford to wait this out. . Thanks again for the valuable...

What color is your Ram?

Beautiful! How'd the truck do? What engine and rear-end does it have?

My 2020 ED has absolutely zero odor, at any time. . My coolant tank looks like yours. . My exhaust pipe is clean as a whistle, but only 10k miles on mine. . My ED block heater is a short pigtail tucked under the hood on the passenger side, between the passenger-side fender liner and the air...

Welcome! What made you decide to go back to your new-to-you Ram?

. With Ram's MFT, if you also got Ram Boxes and the Bed Upgrade Group that included the load divider, you can order the "lugs" that thread into the vertical sides of the tailgate jamb, which allows the use of the load divider as a bed extender. Ram won't sell you the lugs for 2019-on, due to...
