    Digital Key setup 2025 Laramie

    You guys are assuming these updates are for the digital key, but we have no idea if that’s true. I do respect your giddy optimism, though.

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    I was going to do a separate thread but will just summarize here …. Bought a 2025 Big Horn in August. Nothing but trouble, including parking sensor errors, collision warning offline errors, towing disconnect errors, the blue screen of death, dead secondary battery, blown strut, etc. Spent 61...

    2025 Ram 1500 Standard Output Towing

    School me on this …. my 2025 1500 Laramie has a listed towing capacity of 11,550lbs. What does this mean for actual weight of items towed? Currently, I use it for towing my track car in a Futura trailer. Total weight is about 5200lbs. However, I’m considering going to an enclosed trailer...

    Oil in coolant

    Yea, I was trying to not be like all the alarmist fools on the internet and instead think positively for you. But, that new picture changes the diagnosis for the worst; I think it likely you have a head gasket issue. Sorry. In your tech's defense, it is very possible oil is getting into the...

    Oil in coolant

    Others will pipe in, but I’m not convinced that’s oil. Perhaps it is. My bet is that there was no oil in it, and the tech who said your oil was fine was right. But …. you still need to figure out if you have a coolant leak. The pressure test is the first step. It should be easy and cheap.

    Oil in coolant

    Can you post a picture of the “crud” you think might be oil?

    Possible Hurricane misfire at cruising speed.

    There have been a bunch of the Hurricanes with misfire, so that might be what you’re feeling. However, what you describe is also a sensation that’s common on turbo’d motors. I had several Taurus SHO’s, and they did it, one really badly. Something to do with the watergate, IIRC. It’s a light...

    Power Multifunction Tailgate

    So, what we've learned . . . keeping it to the 2025 . . . 1) They all have "power release" whether a regular tailgate or MFT, as the tailgate's handles are electrically activated. 2) With a regular tailgate, even the 2025 Big Horn has the "remote activated" down function (via overhead button...

    Power Multifunction Tailgate

    To be clear, this is not true on the 2025 Laramie, Level 2 ….

    New Ram owner

    Wow. There are other posts about the flashing odometer, so that’s not crazy. The resetting mileage is, though. Would be tempting to drive it a few years like that 😂

    Wait, what? Can you elaborate on the cluster issue?

    Power Multifunction Tailgate

    I dug up the window sticker on my 2025 Laramie. Under the standard equipment, it says "Dampened Tailgate." And, of course, no mention of any power features over in optional equipment where the MFT is shown. I guess that answers my question . . . power (down) release is not even standard...

    Power Multifunction Tailgate

    Good call. I’ll go dig up my window sticker when I get home tonight. It dawns on me, when I open my tailgate, whether using the normal tailgate function, or the swinging barn door function, the releases are electric. In other words, it’s very clearly not mechanical in nature when I open them at...

    syoung- Driving 2025 Ram with 4,200 miles on it

    I hate responses where someone says, “Nope, my life is awesome, so sucks to be you.” :) But …. I’ve had to 2025 RAMs of the same color you have (one is being Lemon Law’d), and neither have this problem. You might have success with a warranty claim.

    Downside Of Buying From Distant Dealer

    I did similar this time, and on other occasions throughout my tenured existence :) The pros to going long distance: You get exactly what you want. Further, you have more leverage to make a deal, as they know they have to be aggressive to entice you to go the distance. That changes, of...

    Power Multifunction Tailgate

    Correct. But, I don't even have a button in the overhead or on my FOB for it. I've got virtually every option a Laramie could have. I wonder if you have to have a Limited to have power down with MFT on the 2025s. I have a Big Horn with no MFT, and even that thing has power down on the...

    Power Multifunction Tailgate

    Thanks. It looked like in some of the previous posts that power down should be there for MF tailgates, but perhaps not. Or, like I wondered, some other option triggered the power down delete.

    Power Multifunction Tailgate

    2025 Laramie here with Level 2, bed and tow packages, tech group, advanced safety, sunroof, and multifunction tailgate. Though the Level 2 package clearly says “power tailgate,” I don’t even appear to have a power down function; nothing on the overhead console and not on the key fob. Can...

    Front bumper alignment

    2025 Laramie, and this is still an issue. Solid 3/16” higher on the driver’s side than the pax. The grill and hood align correctly though, so the issue is definitely at the bumper. I wouldn’t have noticed except my wife backed up into the truck and put a 2” dent at the very center of the...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I’m obviously not going through 911 pages to determine if my experience is a repeat. But, I have bought two 2025 models now. In August, I bought a Big Horn with a 3/24 build date. MSRP was $62k, and I got it for roughly $52k, inclusive of rebates. The dealer pulled that crap where they...
