    Building custom Ram 1500 Limited Ecodiesel

    Look at my sig. My payload is 1317# before accessories. Towing is just under 10K.

    No more diesel.......

    I posted this on another forum after remembering that I liked the Nikola Badger's exterior design. I reread the details on the release of the vehicle (which I know never happened) I wonder if this is Ram's "paradigm breaker?" Nikola said they'd build this truck with another OEM manufacturer. It...

    leaving the truck on while taking the key fob with you..

    Heck, I complain when a 12 pack of soft drinks goes up $1. :LOL:

    New Truck - Several complaints. Help/Suggestions?

    I'm UC4 and I had a one year trial of those services, so they should be working for your truck already? And while the rate is maybe $250ish a year, they keep sending promotional deals. Even half is more than I'd care to pay, though. Remote lock is nice if I'm at a hotel or something and not...

    No more diesel.......

    They keep touting "Range Extending Paradigm Breaker" so surely they've got something innovative coming out. Maybe they'll have an onboard Mr. Fusion Home Reactor.

    Sway or Light Front End

    Hey all, I wanted to circle back since I started this thread. I bit the bullet and got a propride 3p a few months ago. Installation took a while because I certainly didn't want to do it wrong. I've only towed with it twice (about 40 minutes each way) and once was to the dealership to replace the...

    Out shopping used advice wanted please!

    I tend to avoid vehicles the first year of a redesign. But in my case with Ram the ecodiesel engine was new as well in 2019.

    Tow With Fridge On?

    Thanks for all who chimed in. I found a better solution for me. I used the 12V refrigerator switch beside the fridge that I'd overlooked for the past year. :LOL:

    While I’m being an idiot…

    I say mount this to it. https://www.asseenontvlive.com/product/big-mouth-billy-bass/

    Is the diesel leaving?

    It's not just charging time though when you're towing. Most chargers seem to be pull-in parking spaces, which isn't going to work well in the majority of towing situations. Now, if they could get battery weight down and my camper had batteries that fed my tow vehicle...

    Ram Issues “Last Call” For EcoDiesel Engine In Ram 1500!

    I agree. I had hoped they'd continue with the EcoDiesel until I was ready to trade so there would still be a market for them. But my trade timeframe is way down the road unless something happens.

    Is the diesel leaving?

    As a diesel owner, I hope the demand for diesels is still here when it's time for me to trade/sell. I wonder if this in any way means that the electrified 1/2 ton will definitely have good range and towing capability, as they've been claiming.

    Tow With Fridge On?

    This next trip is very short, so yeah, I could cool it down before I even left and drive with it off. But, the info is helpful for future longer trips.

    Tow With Fridge On?

    Thanks for the info and yes, that's the tunnel I was thinking of. It's the closest one of any distance (not like the Parkway tunnels) I could think of.

    Tow With Fridge On?

    Thanks everyone. Seems pretty unanimous. I'd never heard of the tunnel thing--never saw a sign about it, but then I probably wasn't looking for a sign either. There's a pretty good tunnel between NC and TN. I'll have to see if its one that requires propane to be off.

    Tow With Fridge On?

    Mine is supposed do that but I can't seem to get it working consistently.

    Tow With Fridge On?

    I've heard both arguments on this. I wonder who here tows with their refrigerator cooling--especially in terms of going to the campsite so its cool when you arrive? Mine's a three-way that runs on propane/battery/shore power. I've not had a lot of luck running it on battery while traveling, but...

    Massive auto insurance increases.

    We're paying $1800/year for a 2021 Ram 1500 Limited, 2018 Volvo XC60, 2013 Mazda 3, and 1996 Ford F150. We're with State Farm. We do have a multi-line discount and it's just me and my wife with no claims history. I can't say for sure if it's increased much. The truck came on the policy last...

    Bed-Box Sizes

    I'm not sure what sales look like for the 5'7" vs 6'4" but just looking at lots and what's on the road--in my area--the 5'7" is far from being a dying breed. It's like 90/10 around here in favor of 5'7". Our truck is a travel vehicle and a camper puller. I've got a 1996 F150 with an 8' bed for...
