OMG….. in 2022 and prior if you can’t afford/ want a non-eTorque V8, so you get stuck with this 60+# contraption in a V6….Geezee ..lol. The new EV model will improve mpg for sure….lmao

I agree with you not wanting the eTorque. I didn’t want it either when looking for new 2021 and that’s all that remained on the lots in late August 2021. Glad I ordered a 2022 and got it the way I wanted. They also include eTorque in the V6 for 2023. What a shame.

If financial is not a problem, and it were me, I’d order a 2023 knowing what I didn’t want in the present 2022.

If you still have a 3 yr old factory battery in your 5th Gen Ram you’ve got the best 3 yrs out of it imho. A 5yr warranty same size replacement at minimum would be a wise choice. If my truck sits for more than 4 days now in the cold the battery meters below 12.10 v when checked. My truck is 15...

You should look at a Dodge Durango. The new ones tow over 8000#. I used a 2004 Hemi Durango 4wd with 3.92 gears to tow this 24’ 7,000# enclosed car trailer for 4 years prior to purchasing a 2011 Hemi Ram w/3.92. That 2004 Durango was rated 8,700# towing with full tow package, an Excellent tow...

Try a salvage yard.

My wife bought a 2012 Lexus RX350 (expensive Toyota imho) in 2012 as a lease return, great deal. At 3yrs /30k miles the engine was leaking oil. It went in 3x and they had to remove the engine to finally fix correctly. Received a free loan vehicle every time. After 100k trouble free remaining...

I looked at the hitch you posted and think it’s good. You should consider using it and see what you can do with it prior to spending money on something else. I’ve seen others towing #7k with the same hitch successfully. The advice of measuring initial TV front wheel well heights and using this...

Going with this one. I used this same F+F battery, but H7 model in my 2011 Ram and was still starting properly 7.5 yrs after installing when I got the new truck. This H8 is $40 less expensive than the H7 size. Weighs 5# and 100 CCA more than H7… Go figure. Blain's Farm & Fleet 7-Year Platinum...

I have 2022 Ram with power folding tow mirrors. You can easily see behind a 7’ wide trailer much less a 6’ with the “Standard” Ram mirrors. At 7’-6” to 102”( maximum legal trailer width), the Tow mirrors are a wise choice. The standard mirrors are more desirable when not towing. The tow...

I liked the plastic front fascia on my 2011 Ram Sport. Still looked perfect after 11 years when I traded for this new 2022 with painted bumpers.

Changing oil/ filter myself is inexpensive and easy having a car lift. I purchase whatever MS-6395 synthetic oil that is on sale in 0w20 that is recommended for my 2022 Hemi. I purchased a case of Mopar MO-339 filters from RockAuto. I change oil at 50% life which is 4,500 – 5,000 miles as I’m...

I have an early build 2022 Laramie 8.4 Nav with 18k miles and use Android Auto. It just updated software/firmware on Dec 19th while driving and everything continues to work correctly. I use usb drive (formatted to NTFS), Sirius and FM for all my audio listening.

Here’s a 1 yr follow up to this thread of my 2022 Ram Laramie towing. I now have 17,500 miles with 11,000 towing the same 7k# trailer. I’ve towed the Appalachians (Fancy Gap) three more times (955 mile straight through drives) this year along with the local 150 - 300 mile events. In March I...

Thank You

Can this $50 over dealer cost Factory Warranty still be available??

First oil change I used a plastic cup that has a plastic stop 1” from bottom to keep the filter from dropping to the bottom of cup splashing oil. Worked well, but going to trim the cup top down 1” next time to better fit. I placed a towel over the steering rack and it keep what little that...

Its been 5w20 since 2009, and now (2022, it’s on the oil fill cap) it’s 0w20 but FULL Synthetic. 5w20 4th gen was your choice of Synthetic, Blend or Regular. It’s still 20 when hot, just like prior. The price is exactly the same be it 5w or 0w20 Synthetic. There’s owners that put in the weight...

Wait until the truck arrives and you’re in the finance office doing the paperwork and then wave a new quote in his face again if he’s even there. People rotate in / out of those positions.

^^^^^^^^^X2….Get an in writing quote from Zeigler and then show it to the finance guy and ask if he can do $100 better to get your business. You might be surprised.
