Yes, the REV will have horrendous resale value also. People who buy those will be stuck with them forever. PHEV is the only way to do electrification, and the range extension makes it even better.

Yep, we've always said, "Why hasn't anyone done a diesel electric hybrid like on a locomotive, but smaller??" and it looks like that's what Ram was thinking too, except they're using gasoline for public perception reasons. This truck has potential to be amazing.

Yep, 1,300 lbs. of payload ain't gonna' get it done unless you never ever hook up to a trailer or you always travel alone.

Very sad that they abused the Ramcharger nameplate on an EV. Ford did the same with the Lightning though. Pros: Ramcharger is PHEV. That is hands down the best way to do electrification. Cons: It'll cost an absolute fortune.

Are there any aftermarket displays you guys have seen that will show the read-out from the OE TTPMS sensors? For example, I put my sensors in my four trailer tires. They work great with the Ram dash display. But what if I want to pull the trailer with a different truck? Can I buy an...

I guess I should add that I will never buy 0W20 OR 5W20. Screw that. I'll take the 0.003 MPG penalty to have a quiet valvetrain that holds up longer.

This was my complaint also. I got the tune when it first came out over a year ago when I still had my Gen 3 EcoD. The transmission tuning wasn’t good. It held 1st gear way too long, then harshly went into 2nd. Seems like it was trying to lock up the converter way too often. I likened it to...

I see some silly stuff continuing in this thread. "More gas cars catch fire than EV cars." That's because there are exponentially more gas cars on the roads. But if we look at the RATE of fires it's a different story. We've seen EVERYTHING that uses a battery catch fire. Phones, cars, toys...

I just wanted to drop a helpful note to all my former fellow Ram guys: DO NOT under *any* circumstances EVER use Ally bank for financing, especially leases! Don't do it. They are as shady as a forest. They play dirty. And you'll never talk to an American when you call for help or to...

I'm in my mid-40s and I've never seen anything like what's going on in this country since 2021. My grandfather is in his mid-80s and is a Vet and says the same. If we end up with the same idiots in D.C. after November '24 we're screwed. Might as well kiss the economy goodbye. I think the...

Interesting: Window sticker was $56,800 on this '19. For fun I just built the identical truck for '23. $68,500. Ouch.

Well the Silverado HD gas truck I was looking at sold. And the more I think of it, the less inclined I am to go gas because the pulling power just isn’t an upgrade. Most times I go to look at a Ram HD with Cummins diesel it sells before I even get there to look at it. Those things sell like...

That’s what I was thinking too. But I looked up the tow chart from GM’s own website and it is surprising. The 2500 gas can tow more than the 3500 gas (only a couple hundred lbs., likely the difference in weight between the 11.5 and 12.0" axles). The payload gain on the 3500 is less than 500 lbs...

Been thinking about moving up to a HD pickup to make towing my big enclosed trailer easier. Diesel HD trucks are insanely high in price. Even with 150k miles on them, you’re looking at $50k around here. So I opened my search up to gasoline HD trucks as well. I found a 2021 Chevy Silverado...

Looks like wear metals are better but still not great. Aluminum still 3 times the universal average. Additive also was being used up faster shown by the lower TBN. But, viscosity held up better with that oil which is good.

Yes, 2020 Ram and a 2021 Jeep. Built 18 months apart and had the exact same issues. The Jeep also ended up throwing CELs right before I got rid of it. I maintained both trucks meticulously. Second owner contacted me, said that it ended up catching fire on them. Their dealer had it 3 months...

Guess I'm out. Tried two of them, both Gen 3, and both had issues. Second one was so bad it actually caught fire on the second owner while pulling a small trailer. Never again....

That's been my delimma. I've had them for several months but I haven't run them this summer while towing my trailer because I'm unsure of their safety. The BORA instructions said to make sure you can get 7 full turns of the lug nuts. I can get 6 and then torque it to 7 with a torque wrench so...

I’ve had two 2004 Ram 1500s, a 2020, and now a 2022. The ’20 was EcoDiesel and I did have the very common oil leak from the timing cover. But all the others had gasoline engines and I have never had one single issue. Rams are excellent trucks. I cannot say the same for the Chevy or Ford trucks...

No it isn't. It's 87 octane acceptable, 89 recommended just like the 5.7 engine. Most guys run 87.
