That's beautiful area to be sure! When we were breaking in the Ram, we did a (too) long drive through Las Vegas (NM), Mora, past Sipapu and into the back-side of Taos (then Santa Fe & home). We weren't towing that run, but the Ram took the winding mountain highways beautifully. Just a little...

ahhh..the big blue hole! When we were living in Chicago & building our NM house. I drove back and forth too many times and Santa Rosa was a typical gas stop. Exits/Road conditions made me cringe every time I stopped. Then you get the Safety Corridor with double fines for speeding... it...

I just did my first longer drive w/o a trailer (Santa Fe to Denver, RT). Weather was a concern the whole trip (we were driving in the lulls between storms) but I decided it was a perfect chance to explore some of the factors impacting mpg. For record, I drive ‘19 1500 Ltd Hemi w/E-Torque, 3.92...

My experience is that ACC does just ease off the accelerator if you’re coming up on a vehicle, but if someone pulls into your lane ahead, the ACC reads the leading vehicle’s speed and factors that into a coast or brake decision. we live in mountainous terrain and frequently you’ll pull into...

I drive mostly mountain highway miles and use ACC on the state highway (getting to the interstate) to avoid another speeding ticket from our local state troopers (got nailed a few months after moving here - I wasn't paying attention on a downhill curve). I find the ACC gives me an MPG boost on...

I’ve got the 3.92 axle, Ltd, etorque crew cab. Suppose I’ll get around to the signature block sooner or later. Just to clarify, I wasn’t bellyaching about the mileage drop with increased speed or about the axle ratio, just commenting on it. I WAS complaining about the poor results provided by...

I have sporadic success with that feature (about the same as I had with it on the prior Acura). Bigger issue for me is that my TPMS is about 3# off (heavy) at my elevation (7,800'). I use a gauge to check pressures, fill with a Slime compressor that has LED pressure reading as you fill, then I...

I've written about my towing experience with various fuels in one of the towing strings. Baseline experience for me in 4 months/6800 miles/3000 of them towing 5,000# travel trailer: Octane made no truly discernible difference in my mileage. 87 wasn't any worse than 89 and 91 wasn't any better...

I wasn't able to see the indigo/frost with any color exterior prior to ordering - so I'm relying purely on internet searches. I originally considered Delmonico red - but realized I'd be driving a 'not' red, white & blue truck. Then I considered Patriot blue - but found several pictures that made...

hmmm...Ram comment or happy husband? :devilish: seriously though...does the wood/top arc of your wheel heat? Mine warms up by being next to the leather wrap, but by the time the heat has spread up that top arc, the leather wrapped part is almost too hot to comfortably hold...

I just read this thread for the first time and chuckled as I had most if not all of these thoughts when shopping the Ram. I've always hated all black interiors and 10 years ago, while shopping for a crossover/SUV, I walked out of the Chevy dealer when EVERY vehicle had that blasted red 'accent...

I leave LKA on and dont mind the ‘tug’ if I get too close to the line. I find the roads here in northern NM have such faded paint that the LKA frequently can’t detect the markings. When I’ve ‘played’ with it, I find the corrections to be moderate and not nearly as overdone as they were in my...

The 1500 is so big that not only do I have to use 6' ladder to wash the roof, there's so much side acreage that it takes me 90 minutes to fully wash it with my 5 different chemical guys' soaps & waxes. After all that effort, I'm so sore that I have to spend at least 30 minutes in my spa's...

We have friends who swear by the 2/2/2 rule. We’ve tried 3 hr drives and felt they were too short. We’ve tried 8 hr drives and swore never again. We’re targeting 5 hr drives on most of this trip. On the spans between the main attractions, we’re just trying to avoid more than 2 days driving in a...

Yeah....the Moses Lake stop is more a case of needing a stop based on distance than a desire to see anything. Sometimes you’ve just gotta get there.

My Ltd clocks tow miles when Tow Mode is turned on

When you turn on ‘Tow Mode’ the tow mileage meter starts running (and the auto detect trailer blind spot warning will activate If you have that feature and have it ‘on”)

LOL..now THAT's a gas pump! LOL More times than I liked, the gas in midwest was either 87 or 91. I tried the 91 and got no boost on mileage. I tried pure gas (no ethanol) and go no boost on mileage, I tried 85 when that was the only option (they were out of 91) and my mileage took a big hit...

Been busy putting together a month long trip for 2020 hitting 4 national parks and several states that I've managed to miss visiting in my 58 years. 4,450 miles, 11 states and 15 RV parks over 32 days. Was originally hoping to make the trip before the kiddos are out of the school for the...

I have Ltd factory order with E-Torque and without pano. Happy everyday with both decisions! The E-Torque does make off on idle seamless in my truck (no jerk on quick acceleration). I've previously had sunroofs for the vent value on hot days, but with the rear window, I figured that was my vent...
