    2020 Ram 1500 Limited and Longhorn Headlight redesign?

    They made them worse by about 50 feet. There was an article that showed charts how far they light up the road and the redesigned lights don't perform as well. However they don't distract oncoming traffic with glare so overall they make roads safer. It's a trade off.

    6,000-7,000 miles MPG Info Sharing

    I'm averaging 17 and change which is a couple mpg better than my 2nd gen Tundra got with the 4.6L V8.

    Forward Collision Scare

    How is your forward collision warning set up? Far, medium or near? You may want to set it to near.

    Anyone Feel Like a Pilot?

    Only when I go through car wash. Turn off front and rear park sense, disable auto wipers, fold mirrors, put truck in neutral.

    First "Mild Hybrid" issue

    While extended warranty is probably a must if you're going to hold on to it, keep in mind that the etorque components are covered by manufacturer's 8 year / 80,000 mile warranty. It covers: Belt Driven Hybrid Starter Generator Assembly, Catalytic Converter, Powertrain Control Module, Power Pack...

    LSD or Locker

    LSD for on road, e-locker for off road. LSD kicks in automatically when you lose traction, you have to turn e-locker on manually when you anticipate losing traction because it locks the two wheels together which is not desirable for normal driving. I think e-locker is standard on the rebel.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I had my fronts tinted with 20% and it's just slightly darker than the back. They (tint place I went to) said the back is at 17-18% so the front must be somewhere around 5% from the factory for it to be darker now. Ps. Don't go with 3M color stable. I have it on mine and can't wait to replace...

    Bicycle Hauling

    I have a bed extender. So I fold the bed cover, or take it off for longer trips, extend the bed, rest the bikes against side of the bed and strap them down. I had 5 bikes in the bed last weekend and plenty of room for coolers, tents, chairs etc. If it's just a quick trip with an empty bed, I'd...

    Convincing me to buy a Ram!

    I cross shopped between Ram, GMC and F150. The new 5.3 in GMC pulls just as hard as the Ram with 3.92 gearing. The 6.2 is similar to 3.5 Eco off the line and 50-70. Ram with 3.21 gearing felt lethargic. At least it did to me. Ram is most comfortable but also feels the most disconnected from...

    Things you would like to see added

    The 12" Uconnect looks impressive at first glance, but is woefully underutilized. Below is a list of things I would like to see added. 1) Add full screen support for 360 degree camera. The way it's done now is ridiculous. You get one tiny screen next to backup camera screen which itself only...

    Park Assist tried to run me into a car

    That's the problem with self parking though. You're already monitoring it and have 360 cam on, sideview mirrrors tilted down, you know you're close to other vehicles and the ram is self driving. The beeping from corner sensors at that point is just a distraction. Truck should self stop and tell...

    Park Assist tried to run me into a car

    I tried it on a busy parking lot and it parked me perfectly between lanes. Lots of beeping from the park assist sensors is annoying though. They should mute them when it's self parking.

    My experience, so far

    Auto wipers work perfect on mine. Slow when I need them slow, faster when I need them faster. Just change sensitivity.
