    Question about Ramcharger

    I think a series hybrid like the ramcharger could be a great patrol vehicle since it has huge range between the battery and engine and if it was not in service 24/7 could be charged overnight a few times a week and likely rarely need gas. Like others have said upsetting may not be an issue...

    Installing Town hooks

    Yes and it is an easy job you can do in the driveway. Might take you an hour or more the first time but I've done it 6 times (3 on and 3 off) swapping from truck to truck and am pretty quick now!

    (FF) Child car seats that fit quad cabs.

    I can't help you with a seat that converts from rear to front to booster but I used Clek seats for rear and front. Not only are the shirt front to back but also side ro side so they fit 3 across better than most. The Diono is similar in dimensions. The Clek is crazy expensive but it is...

    500 miles and towing break in

    I think most people don't read the manual and many trucks are driven very hard on test drives during break-in and probably most a fine. This part of the manual has been updated a couple times as it was different for my 2019 then my 21 or 23. I figure if I wad able to do what the manual says I...

    Trade up or buy out lease dilemma

    I've ended all my leases woth the dealer paying off the lease - makes it super easy and they do all the paperwork a d cut you a check or give you credit on a new vehicle. The dealer usually gets the same buyout or sometimes a better deal than you do.

    Trade up or buy out lease dilemma

    Your post is a bit confusing because you say the dealer offered you 10k more than your buyout if you trade the 21 on a new 24 but you lso talk about the I6 which would be the 25 model. Either way as others have said if you are able to negotiate a good price on a new 24 with the Hemi or a 25...

    $1200/mo lease payment for 60 mos

    This is basically the definition of a political statement :). I follow the automotive sector closely as a fleet manager and saw the global disruption of the supply chain and hit the auto industry especially hard given the global nature of parts supply chains. This wasn't caused by domestic...

    Moaning-Droning-whatever: very frustrated

    Do you have aftermarket nerf bars or running boards?

    $1200/mo lease payment for 60 mos

    There is just way too much factored into leasing to really discuss the details on a forum. Each individual situation differs and blanket statements like you should never put money down or trade-in or leases are more expensive than purchase don't always apply. I've leased a 2018, 2021 and now...

    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    Reading the article on the 2025 changes I just noticed that not only did they remove the amber turn signals in the rear but apparently everything below longhorn limited now has incandescent taillights and front turn signal bulbs. Seems thos was a cost saving measure to include standard LED...

    REV vs Ramcharger - who would buy a REV?

    I'm also a pacifica PHEV and Ram 1500 owner excited by the Ramcharger. I love our Pacifica PHEV and a truck version would be very compelling.

    '24 vs '25 1500 Features & Value Differences

    Using the Big Horn example and adjusting for inflation the non-inflation related increase is only about $1,300 from 2019 - 2025. Not saying that makes it any easier to stomach but given the cost of almost everything has increased at or above the rate of inflation it is relevant in the...

    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    Just realized after watching the latest Alex on Autos video on the 2025 that the new taillights don't have amber turn signals/hazards! That is actually sort of a big deal for me. Looking at the stats having amber vs red turn signals significantly improves safety even more so that the...

    Barricade Pinnacle 4-Inch Oval Bent End Side Step Bars Are Noisy!

    My Westin nerf bars are loud like that in certain slush or water situations - I assume it is just the sound of the slush on a hollow metal tube and accept it as normal

    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    Lots of assumptions from folks about what is possible on trading trucks every few years. I financed a 2014 BH CC that I traded on a 19 BH CC lease, traded for a 21 Laramie CC lease and then traded for a 23 Laramie CC lease with substantial upgrades each time. I put money down on the original...

    Trailer back-up camera using UConnect

    This part will only give you the option if your truck has the trailer camera prep package ($590 option) and then have this part ($1,500 part) for a total cost of over 2k for a trailer backup camera. If like me you don't have the prep kit from the factory it is much more complex and likely...

    TFL Trucks - 2025 Ram 1500

    The engine only starts when the battery needs a charge or the motors need additional power like towing on steep grades as I understand it.

    TFL Trucks - 2025 Ram 1500

    I would not buy a tungsten for many reasons but in particular the payload issues you raise. That said I would also never buy a truck with ramboxes because I always have a topper on my truck and they don't work with the ramboxes. I also always buy the 6'4" bed and that can't be had with...
