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

    I just drive a turbo car like any other. I don't bother giving it any kind of special treatment. For people who park in a garage, it's not really feasible to start your car and let it run for a few minutes before driving, nor is it feasible to let it continue to run in the garage before...

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

    I don't think people have a problem with someone saying something negative about Ram, but you sound understandably disgruntled and do seem to generalize your issues to applying to every Ram. Ram sells a lot of pickups. I have had 3 Rams and never had any of the issues you listed above. Ford...

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

    I use to hate turbos. And still do in some cars with small motors. Historically, turbos would have a lot of lag and the motor would have no power at all at lower rpm's. But many cars and trucks today you can't even notice the turbos. For me, the i6tt in my Laramie just feels like a big...

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

    I never even tried using sport mode in my truck. I do consider myself a little bit of an aggressive driver though. Not so much punching it from a start but more like I'm not so happy being stuck behind slow drivers. I do have a sports car for the warmer months that I like to have a little fun in.

    I should have mentioned that my post was referring to how it works without Apple CarPlay working. I'm not a big fan of CarPlay so I still haven't used it in my truck.

    I'm not even sure. It just always worked that way since I got the truck.

    On my truck if I get a text message, a pop up shows up on my uconnect screen with options. One of the options is to listen to the text message. It won't read the message out loud unless I press the listen button tab on the pop up.

    Go to your bluetooth settings and make sure notifications are turned on in your uconnect setting. That might be it, but not sure 100 percent.

    I think there is a setting on your phone you have to turn on notifications or something. So check that also.

    2023 Lone Star 1500 - went from 84 miles remaining parked to empty 12 hours later

    Ok, good luck. My only point was that any time I ever heard of rodent damage to a car, it was usually followed with something about the car being parked for at least a few weeks.

    2023 Lone Star 1500 - went from 84 miles remaining parked to empty 12 hours later

    My feelings on this are that if you drive your vehicle regularly, the chances of rodents making a home and damaging your vehicle are slim. My guess is that this most likely started while the truck was sitting parked for extended periods of time. Since the OP just purchased the truck, and was...

    2023 Lone Star 1500 - went from 84 miles remaining parked to empty 12 hours later

    You just recently purchased this truck? Edit: Just reread your post that you got the truck a week ago. Is the dealership going to take care of the rodent damage for you?

    I tend to agree with this. Vehicles get labeled as lemons, but it's because someone is failing to diagnose the problem correctly. If the problem was diagnosed correctly and repaired properly the first time, the vehicle wouldn't continue to be problem and labeled a lemon. Instead, they start...

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

    I assume that if you don't get it over the air, the dealership will check and do any updates when it's in for service. My BMW recently was asking to do an over the air update and I declined it. After some time passed, I got a message that the over the air update was no longer available and to...

    I got the update yesterday also. Not sure what it was for either.

    I have a BakFlip. Took it off my 4th gen truck and moved it to my 5th gen. It has aged and held up well. No complaints. Someone said they have changed ownership, but I am not sure if that has effected their product or not. If I was shopping today, I would probably get another one.

    Held captive - wheel bearings?

    I changed the front wheel bearing/hubs on my 4th gen truck. They started making noise at around 150k miles or so. Drove around on it for while before replacing it. Maybe another 10k miles or a little more. Then changed one out myself and but then kept driving it looking for time to do the...

    Ok, this makes sense and clears up some of the confusion.

    I thought he mentioned he had the power tailgate and was closing it manually. That's why I posted it. I'm too lazy to go back and check the posts, so maybe I misread a post.
