    SHOCKING: Meet The All-New Ram 1500 REV Battery-Electric Pickup!

    Yikes....and it's 4 times more expensive than gas. No thank you I want to reduce the amount of money I spend at the pump. Charging time doesn't matter to me when all i have to do is plug in when i get home. I get that you hate electric cars...but I'm tired of spending $80-$100 at the pump. If...

    SHOCKING: Meet The All-New Ram 1500 REV Battery-Electric Pickup!

    Just read an article somewhere how ford is having trouble selling them (both gas and ev). Just like the rest of their trucks....it's TOO EXPENSIVE. Even gas trucks....ram shot themselves in the foot in increasing the base price by $4k with little to no change to the 5th gen rams. Chip shortage...

    SHOCKING: Meet The All-New Ram 1500 REV Battery-Electric Pickup!

    It definitely raises some eye brows...because they closed it, then reopened it. Only major reason why I did it, is because I'm ev shopping 2024-2025 and I want the rambox. If I can't get a base EV with rambox for the cheapest price, then I'm getting something else. I can easily go midsized...

    SHOCKING: Meet The All-New Ram 1500 REV Battery-Electric Pickup!

    Refundable until preorder is available. Gives me plenty of time to decide. I would have accurate pricing range by then.. I would end up canceling for something else anyway. Besides...with all the money I spent on my charger... $100 is nothing....lol. But stellantis seeing that I'm pulling out...

    SHOCKING: Meet The All-New Ram 1500 REV Battery-Electric Pickup!

    Let me clarify...it's the insider plus. Quotes from the website "Ram REV Insider+ members enjoy all the benefits that a Ram REV Insider enjoys, PLUS the ability to secure their place in line to preorder a Ram 1500 REV. A Ram REV Insider+ membership requires a $100 fee and is available only...

    SHOCKING: Meet The All-New Ram 1500 REV Battery-Electric Pickup!

    Only way that the ram rev will even compete is lower prices. 2024-2025 will have a TON of new Ev Trucks. As of today... no way I'm paying anything over $60k for a full size EV truck...so I'm gonna have to go and get a midsized truck. I'm hoping to get a well equipped midsized EV truck for...

    Anyone Considering The '24 Ram Dakota?

    Haha...welll depending on the person. Big old Truck drivers would only say that semi are true trucks. Folks that only drive small cars would think that a midsized truck or even half car/half truck is also big for them. In this case, I try to stick to the midsized truck....just because it has...

    Anyone Considering The '24 Ram Dakota?

    And I’m sure those that are in the midsize segment looking for a smaller truck aren’t looking for those big tow numbers…like what you would want in a full size truck. I don’t tow much and I don’t put too much in my bed ( outside the normal Home Depot trips, beach trips, bike trips, where 3...

    Blackstone oil analysis, high iron and copper only have 22k miles on engine

    Now it kinda makes me want to check my oils for my ram and charger. I normally change my oils once a year because extremely low miles. I do drive all of them, and nothing sits longer than a week even during the cold north east winters. When I drive them, I get them up to operating Temps. Had...

    Anyone Considering The '24 Ram Dakota?

    Ohh...yeah. I remember those. My dad had a burgundy el Camino ( I'm 45 btw) so yeah.. those things are just too small back then. So it's more of a ridgeline (unibody) then a Tacoma, frontier, Colorado ( Body on frame). So right there towing and payload numbers will be lower. 2022 Ram Big Horn...

    Anyone Considering The '24 Ram Dakota?

    I have even seen people say that my 4 door charger scat pack isn't a muscle car...so it definitely is an opinion. But if it has a bed, in my eyes it's considered a truck. Curious to know why Stellantis is using the name Ramage instead of dakota. Is there some kind of history I'm missing with...

    Anyone Considering The '24 Ram Dakota?

    If I had the money and afford it, yes. But it's out of my pay grade. I need something cheaper. Initially I was on the ford lighting bandwagon with the first round of pricing which was around $45k. Then after that first year, they jacked up the pricing and that pretty much ended me getting that...

    Anyone Considering The '24 Ram Dakota?

    Still working out the numbers, so I'm no expert. Roughly charging would be 3 times cheaper than gas...then again the time it takes to do it. The official number would be something like if it charged the ford f150 lighnting $100 each month, the equivalent for gas would be $350ish. Now that is...

    First Oil Change, 1000 Miles or is this just Old Fashioned?

    Personally, I don't see an issue with that. Definitely want to break the engine in. After the 500-1000 mile mark, then oil change. That's what I did as well. For the most part, early oil change folks come from either just habit, worrying too much, and for older folks like me history of older...

    Anyone Considering The '24 Ram Dakota?

    If I decide to get a midsized truck (only real reason is because price tags on full size trucks are just ridiculous) I would be spoiled with the amount of room in my ram. That's why I'm closely looking at EV pricing on the new ram Rev and smaller trucks. I'm already looking at prices STARTING...

    Trying to choose between loaded up Backcountry and Laramie Night/ORG

    Personally, one of the biggest, most underatted standard on the back country are the seats. I love the seats l, how they look and how comfortable they are. They made a good choice in putting the rebel seats in this trim. Previously, had a Laramie, leather seats with ventilation. Leather easily...

    Trying to choose between loaded up Backcountry and Laramie Night/ORG

    Great deal. I wonder how taxes work out of state like that. I live in NJ and when I bought cars in PA , I would pay some sales tax, and most of that (dealer would pay) would cover NJ sales tax....because you know...the state you live in always wants their fair share even if you bought out of...
