    Need a rear bed step for 2025 Ram 1500 Limited

    That's unfortunate. Thanks for passing on that information.

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

    I just changed my oil myself last week. If you could do it yourself, just change the filter and dump all the oil out and put in 7.4 quarts. One positive is on the hurricane, oil change is pretty easy with the filter location being easily accessible. If you don't do it yourself, take it...

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

    My guess would lean more towards faulty reading rather than that the oil was overfilled. I don't understand why they have to try to over complicate everything. Just give us the dipstick back instead of all these complicated systems that are prone to fail at some point. The dipstick was fool...

    Very rough intense ugly sound on startup . 2025 Ram Bighorn

    OP, sounds like you need to take a trip to the dealership to let them look at it. Keep us posted.

    New 2025 ram tradesman work trucks

    $51k per truck does seem high, considering you could probably still buy a Laramie for mid $50's with discounts. For a work truck, the truck pictured does look nice.

    Poor gas mileage

    Not necessarily. In 2019 TruckTrend did a head to head between a Rebel with 3.92's and a Laramie Longhorn with 3.21's. The Longhorn with the 3.21's was quicker 0-60 and in the 1/4 mile. With the 8 speed transmission, there is more than enough gears to put the truck in optimal position to...

    I meant to check my idle and run time when I was picking up my truck but forget to check it. I'm currently at 18 hours idle and 123 hours driving.

    Very rough intense ugly sound on startup . 2025 Ram Bighorn

    The cold start is the one thing I am not impressed with in regards to my truck. When I had my hemi, you got the V8 rumble on start up and it sounded like a truck. With the hurricane motor, it's a not so pleasant sounding high rev with one quick stumble about 20 or 30 seconds in, then continues...

    Very rough intense ugly sound on startup . 2025 Ram Bighorn

    Can you describe what you are referring to? I have complained about the high idle on cold starts. My truck idles around 1700 rpm's on cold starts. Lasts about a minute and then starts to come down. Seems to be the norm on the 2025's. My truck is a Laramie with the hurricane motor.

    2025 Ram Rebel X - Check Engine Light

    I got a check engine light on my 2025 Ram recently. I bought the truck in September. The check engine light turned out to be related to something with the evap system. They said there was an update for it and performed the update, took a few minutes, and sent me on my way. I asked about the...

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

    I got the same thing, a pop up screen giving me the option to install the update. I'm not sure what it did, but it did turn my surround sound off, which I had to go back into audio settings and turn it on again. I don't have HUD., so didn't notice anything there.

    2025 Larimie, What am I looking at?

    The smaller little battery has to do with the auto stop start feature on the truck. My understanding is the main battery is used for starting but the smaller one helps maintain consistent voltage to the rest of the truck so that you don't notice a draw on the electrical during the starting...

    I didn't mention what oil I used because I didn't want to start an oil discussion. But I will say that I am not a fan of 0w20 either.

    Codes found on new 2025 1500 Rebel

    Shell is considered top tier gas so nothing wrong with Shell either. Shell is the closest gas station to my house, so I almost always fill up there.

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

    I need to go back and correct my post. My new 2025 Ram has the 3.55 rear which is standard. The 3.21 I mentioned was on my old Ram with the hemi.

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

    -As far as MPG, on my 4x4 Laramie with 3.55 rear, I have averaged 20 mpg for a tank full a couple of times. This is mixed driving and hand calculated math. -As far as noises coming from the car after it is shut down, I too have noticed that at times it seems to be making noises long after shut...

    Power Multifunction Tailgate

    This video fails to mention the button on the left side of the tailgate that you can press to close it. I wish someone would have mentioned the button to me since I didn't realize it was there.

    As of now, no. I added 7.4 quarts of oil. I reset the the oil life, but I did not check or reset the oil level. I know it does it on its own eventually, so I am just gonna wait for it to check the level on it's own. I did take it on a few short drives today, but no over fill indicator as of now.
