    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    I really hope this doesn't mean they still haven't fixed the issue from 2023 with the turn signals not resetting? I'm waiting for the part to have my switch replaced for the 2nd time and they've updated the part so many times I've lost count..

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    So I stopped into my local dealer today to check on an appointment for recall stuff - decided to check in with the sales manager and ended up placing an order with a commitment to match or beat the price I got from MD even though he'll lose money on the sale. I was very honest with him and he...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    My local dealer who I have a relationship just said he couldn't beat the other dealers price and I should buy from the other dealer because he would to to save $$. I still go to the local guys for service and they still treat me very well. They make money and reputations on service just like...

    Comprehensive list of Trim features and packages

    Does anyone know if there is a source for a comprehensive list of standard features and packages for each trim level? I am considering a factory order on a 2025 and am debating between a Big Horn and Laramie and it is very difficult to know exactly what the differences are with both standard...

    Laramie Advanced Safety Group 2

    Considering an order for a 2025 Laramie as an upgrade from my 2023 Laramie but have some questions about the Advanced Safety Group 2 package. My 2023 Laramie has the Advanced safety group which included this camera as well as a few other options but was only $1,995 - the new package 2 is a...

    Clock spring problems

    Had mine replaced in 2023, replacement is now failing and I am waiting on backorder part. The temp fix is to turn out auto highbeams if equipped.

    New 2025 ram tradesman work trucks

    Up until now we always ordered 1500 classics if we were getting rams and those were much more basis trucks. Now that they are only offering the 5th gen the price and base options have certainly been elevated. You can option a tradesman with chrome or body color and with the nicer wheels but...

    New 2025 ram tradesman work trucks

    They do have adaptive cruise. I looked closer and turns out the capitalized price was $46,206 so a good amount less than I posted earlier as that was before incentives. These have 3.92 rear, Mopar side steps, trailer brake controller.

    New 2025 ram tradesman work trucks

    These are purchased through Enterprise fleet with factory and government incentives. Used to be a lot more incentives but they haven't really come back. Still cheaper than ford or Chevy at the time of order. I wouldn't pay that price at a dealer but it makes sense in this case given the whole...

    New 2025 ram tradesman work trucks

    Started taking delivery of the 7 2025 ram 1500's I ordered to replace fleet trucks that are ready to sell. Always interesting to see the stripped down version of the truck in work truck trim. Crazy to see they cost us a bit over $51k per truck considering I wad able to buy a 2023 Laramie for...

    Minnesota Winter Tires?

    Depends on your definition of sufficient. I run Wildpeaks April - Nov and Blizzaks Nov-April. The Wildpeak are good in snow and much better than all-seasons. A dedicated winter tire may not be much better on snow but they are noticeably better at start, stop and turn on ice. So you don't...

    Change to turn signals in 2023 MY?

    So Murphy's law took over and the signal issues seemed to magically disappear on my way to the dealer today - perhaps because I've been driving around with my auto highbeams enabled for several weeks? I dropped off the truck at service and then walked over to sales to chat with my salesman and...

    Change to turn signals in 2023 MY?

    Have an appointment on Friday to have my replacement replaced - hopefully 2nd time is a charm.

    Change to turn signals in 2023 MY?

    Seems like the problem is now happening again after having the part replaced last year. Hoping to figure out if it is all the same issues as last time and see if the dealer can replace again. Anyone else have this issue again after a replacement?

    Ram 1500 Laramie Crew Cab 4x4 6'4" Box

    Not sure how this compares to other deals going on right now but I bought a 2023 Laramie 4x4 6'4" with more options and an msrp of just over $70k for just over 52k. It was a factory order and the deals were really good because Ram had 10% off Laramies but still seems you might get a better deal.

    BEST Cap/Top out there...... RSI SmartCap ?

    No idea on brand but the place that installed my topper used a standard tailgate seal kit to fill in those gaps and I don't seem to have any issues with dust from gravel roads etc.

    Pain in the butt safety stuff

    I have a 23 and the only time I turn off the proximity sensors is when towing (rear sensor) or if doing real off-roading. I don't have any trouble with backing out of the driveway (my 2019 always braked and had to be turned off) or 2 tracks or gravel roads or in fields or trails etc. Seems...

    Drove 2 similar trucks today - a 25 hurricane and 23 Hemi

    Had a 25 Laramie SST delivered to my shop today as a rental truck and it happened to be almost identical to my 21 Hemi so made a great comparison out the drivetrains. Both are Laramie 4×4 CC with the bigger screen etc. My truck is a long box and has a topper so heavier than the 25 by several...

    Question about Ramcharger

    Just to clarify for those discussing EV's the Ramcharger is not an EV - that truck is the REV. The Ramcharger is a series hybrid with electric drive motors and a battery but also a 3.6L pentastar that acts as a generator to charge the battery and provide power to the electric motors. If the...
