I can see an electric car move into mainstream transportation for the general public. It's a deliberate choice of the owner for their own reasons. They like new and different, environmental concerns, novelty, or just like to experiment. There are more and more now, but not nearly a majority...

The resale value of your used truck is exactly what you trade it away for in the trade on the next ruck, or what you will accept from the next buyer of the truck when you sell it to that person. It not worth one penny more or one penny less at the point of sale. You will not know what that...

I'm about a long month away from starting my 3rd year of ownership with my RAM. Still on the endless honeymoon as far as I'm concerned. It is my favorite truck of all the trucks I've owned. So who cares what the resale value of it is. As far as as I'm concerned they can bury me in it as long...

There are some truly majestic landscapes and scenery where you are. I've had the Harley's thru there several times. Envious flatlander here.

ANY machine will break. What determines the longevity is how they are set up for expected conditions on day one. My thoughts would be heavier truck tires and stiffer shocks. Stronger sidewalls in the tires. The stiffer shocks to cushion the frame from hard jolts from the roads you travel...

Ice will defeat the best of us eventually, especially the frozen solid wet glaring ice. I've got a lot of time and miles in the big rigs in all kinds of conditions many years ago. The trick I learned to use is watching what the rear wheels on the vehicle ahead of you is throwing up. If you...

Have you considered a tractor with a bucket so you lift and carry the snow when you have pushed as much snow as far as you can and still have snow left over? Or an old beater of a truck with a plow on that. Plows are hard on trucks period, even when you know what you are doing. Just playing...

That is one regal looking Ram, 4 hoof drive and all!

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what part of the system is always energized? Obviously, security/fob sniffer, door locks, clock and the bios for the main control computer. Does the proximity of the fob to a parked tuck have any bearing on it? It all reduces the CCA capacity after sitting...

I agree with the general consensus batteries, like a lot of things, just aren't what they used to be. I've replaced several in the recent past that "coulda,shoulda" lasted longer in the opinion of my wallet. What I did was purchase a battery tester and keep an eye on them myself. In addition...

I had the step fold up on me once, put me on the ground without so much as a speck of dignity. Spent the day loading and unloading moving some stuff around. I got pretty quick at going in and out of the bed. I had placed my foot at the first lower pivot point and not on the very end of the...

Well as long as he bought the extended warranty along with it, he should be OK.

I like having the surround camera I find it very helpful in tight places to see the clearances, which I get into often enough. I use the mirrors when backing the truck, old truck driver here. Next favorite is the blind spot monitoring. The cruise control is different, you have to learn how...

I went the Gatorback route despite the expense, not sorry I did. They are a little wider and longer, gives a little more protection. I think they have some that will fit with wider tires and lifts, being a little longer still. Check on that yourself to make sure I'm correct in my thinking...

Well not to get the discussion started again, as it has been discussed before. What about another catch can? I don't see it listed. It was you who convinced me to add one to my RAM. Glad it's there, no regrets, it fits in with the way I use my truck and driving style. Outside of that it...

I would walk out and not look back. You hold the all the cards right now and they act like their doing you a favor. The other side of that is you don't get to grind away either, it's called mutual respect. What's it going to be when the truck needs service work, and they all do, some more...

Get the RAM, definitely the RAM! The comfort in the cab just blows any other truck in todays market out of the water in my opinion. Having had a V6 in a full size truck I much prefer the V8's hands down. It's what makes you happy in the end that is most important. If you decide on the Ford...

I am thinking the same as PowerJrod. The software that controls your shift points in the transmission may be corrupted since the original programming. Update/remap it may smooth it out for you.

I wouldn't call it a workaround to my way of thinking. I call it working within the design parameters of the way the truck was originally designed to operate. This is the most complicated truck I have ever owned. I don't pretend to know the finer points of how it works. I just want it to...

Put your right foot back into it a little bit more. Not excessively. You bought a truck not a fuel sipper. The truck has adjusted to a lighter driving style and is choking a little.
