    Ram back in NASCAR

    I'm sure NASCAR will get along just fine without your support. Tons of other people enjoy watching it. I used to be one of them until they became woke like most other professional sports have done. The engines are limited to 358 cubic inches.

    Ram Box silver cargo rails

    You can reuse the bolts from the black rails for the silver rails. Dealership where we bought our 2020 Limited let us swap the black rails out for silver ones at no charge when we bought it. I knew about the rail issue prior to buying so I was able to negotiate that in.

    3.0L I6 Hurricane HO Twin Turbo Fuel Octane?

    Yes, but it’s a separate model from the Limited. Until a couple years ago it was called Laramie Longhorn. I never understood why Ram didn’t just call it a Longhorn. Maybe they just like to keep people confused. But it is a totally separate model from a Limited.

    3.0L I6 Hurricane HO Twin Turbo Fuel Octane?

    The Longhorn also comes with the HO engine.

    3.0L I6 Hurricane HO Twin Turbo Fuel Octane?

    I see nothing there which says you can run anything but 91 octane in the HO. In fact, the last sentence for the HO says "The use of 91 or higher octane premium gasoline is required in this engine.". Not recommended, but required. It's the SO that you can use 87 octane according to the manual.

    Is the term "grocery getter" offensive to you

    I didn't think it was a contest. I was just adding a little levity lol. I do like the truck in your pic though. Too bad it doesn't exist.

    Newbie and never thought I would be here

    That's the first thing I did in my first 5th gen. It was actually the sales rep who recommended I turn it off. I disable auto braking on any vehicle equipped with it. Alarms are one thing but allowing the vehicle to slam on the brakes when it thinks it needs to doesn't give me a warm fuzzy.

    Is the term "grocery getter" offensive to you

    This response makes me think you checked the top option in this survey. :p I mean, lets be honest. Half ton pick-ups aren't really trucks. They are perfectly capable of doing some "truck stuff". But let's face it, this is a truck...:ROFLMAO:

    HEMI® Is Back—And It’s Cheaper Than Before On The Ram 1500

    Ram owners are now experiencing what F150 owners went through 15 years ago lol. Naturally aspirated v8 versus a 6 cylinder twin turbo. It's a tired argument. Get which ever engine you feel more comfortable with and move on. I'm just glad we have a v8 option again. More engine options is a...

    Paid her off today!

    Congrats! Nice looking truck but who's the creepy guy in front of it? :ROFLMAO:

    Florida Ram 2500 Lemon Law

    My advice would be to contact a lemon law lawyer.

    2020 LIMITED BLACK GRILL

    Upgrading To A 33 Gal Tank On The New SST

    It seems that you're wanting to start up a philosophical discussion in a truck forum. Okay, I'll bite. From a legal standpoint, I do own my vehicle and my house. From a philosophical standpoint I own nothing because when I die I can't take anything with me. That's about as deep as I get...

    2020 LIMITED BLACK GRILL

    This thread was started in 2019. Back then it wasn’t easy to find a night edition grille. You can use any Limited Blackout or Night Edition grille from 2020 thru 2024 models.

    Hemi s Back

    I agree with you about 4WD, but racing from stop light to stop light is juvenile and honestly stupid. When someone pulls up next to me at a stop light I pretty much ignore them. Who cares who makes it to the next stop light first? I'm just trying to get home, or the store, or one of my...

    My guess is that most of us have done that :ROFLMAO: Even though some aren't willing to admit it.

    Need some body damage advice.

    If this is at a stake pocket it's clear that you overloaded the bed or you didn't have it secured correctly. You may be able to cut the damage out and weld in new sheet metal to fix it but I'm not sure if that will weaken it. I'd take it to a body shop and talk about how they would fix it...

    Hemi s Back

    ^^This. Truth is, most people use a half ton truck as a car most of the time, and maybe occasionally tow a boat or small travel trailer. Maybe haul a load of mulch home for the garden. I'm in that category. And for that type of use either Hurricane variant should be a great engine. People...

    Ram resurrects Hemi engine - Can I get a swap?

    @silver billet is correct here. The 3rd gen Hemi was designed to use a billet cam but was overruled by the bean counters. People who have switched to aftermarket cams have not seen failures after switching.
