Vinegar is the trick. I stupidly got cement mix all over my tailgate and panicked. Could not get it off with anything I tried. Nothing. My mother actually told me to try vinegar, so I went in the kitchen when the wife wasn't looking at stole her vinegar. It worked!

I ran 295/60R20 on my '20 with the ORG suspension and a 1" level in the front. It was absolutely the largest I could have gone...couldn't slide a sheet of paper between the tire and splash guard at full turn. To do it over again on that truck I would have gone with 305/55R20 because to me the...

Ram is doing everything they possibly can to catch up ;) The '25s are a train wreck. I see somebody showing off a new problem in a video every week.

Did you check dieselfiltersonline.com ?

More evidence of what I predicted. These overly sophisticated engines are going to be nightmares at high mileage.

I've had several midsize 1/2 tons with the 5' beds, several fullsize 1/2 tons with the 5.5' beds (5'7" in the case of Ram), and currently I'm driving a fullsize 3/4 ton with a 6'9" bed. Our main useage is camping and boating trips with the family, though sometimes I do pull heavier equipment...

Well if that's the mindset we're going into this with, then you could apply that to a LOT of things. Why use the oil spec'd in the manual? Heck I'm sure the new 0W8 oil would reduce pumping losses and free up 4 horsepower. You could run no air filter at all, 0W8 oil, 85 octane fuel and I'm...

There was a thread on this already. The 2025s have shown quite a few quality issues. We've seen some of them even play out in YouTube reviews. Matt Maran's 2025 tester totally lost all cruise control function and the infotainment went wacky. My 2025 tester had a windshield that wasn't sealed...

Yep, on the 1500s AND the 2500s with diesel engines, PAYLOAD is the number you have to watch out for. You will run out of that before anything else, just as Calvin said a couple pages back. Always figure campers at 15% of their total GVWR to be on your tongue. So a 7,000 lb. camper is going...

You must have missed the part about the Hemi being 21 years old. The clearances were never "tightened" and it's not a modern engine....which is why it's now gone due to emissions requirements it could not meet. I still think a better "buffer" (higher viscosity) for the old fashioned cam lobes...

A $100 oil change at home is "cheap" to you? And with a $10k fuel system, I wouldn't trust a non-OE filter. Nope, just won't do it.

Nobody will ever convince me that the ever changing oil specs on the 5.7 engine didn't have something to do with it. They made those engines for 21 years and only updated it once in 2009, but if you go through all the yearly manuals you see 3 or 4 different oil specs. CLEARLY this was for EPA...

So yesterday I test drove a late build '21 F-150 XLT (built in July so it was almost a '22 model). Keep in mind this is XLT, so equivalent to a Bighorn on a Ram. The one I drove had the 302A "High" package, locking diff, 3.5 EcoBoost, 10-speed, 36 gallon tank, tail gate step, and towing...

So since most owners don't follow the correct maintenance procedures (draining water periodically, staying up on filter changes, etc.) they've gone to requiring a new filter every oil change (which should be happening BEFORE 10,000 miles per the manual)?? Wow... that's going to get pricey...

Don’t own one, but I test drove a 2025 Bighorn and the windshield was not sealed correctly at the factory. Lots of air coming in around the glass. Unknown if this will also be a water leak. Just thought I’d post this as a point of reference in case anybody else sees this problem too.

I noticed last night that the F-150 which claims the #1 spot in "1/2 ton" towing at 14,000 lbs. has a lot of fine print in the towing guide. Apparently, if you do not use a weight distribution hitch you are limited to 5,000 lbs. I probably see 1% or fewer of people out on the roads using...

So TFL compares highway fuel economy of the '25 Ram with the I-6TT against the new Ford and GM with the largest V8s available, and the Ram puts up the worst numbers of the 3. The interesting thing is that people were actually surprised by this. How many years of tiny turbo engines drinking...

So I went and looked at a 2025 and drove it. Just wanted to see what the hype was about. First thing I noticed when I pulled out of the dealership….YEP quality control is non-existent. The one I was driving had 14 miles on the odo and the windshield had not been sealed properly at the plant...

I don't agree. ALL brands of trucks are expensive and financing sucks. Yet, Ram is the ONLY brand showing huge decreases in sales quarter after quarter.
