Just be glad there were no acorns nearby.

I meant to stay out of this, but resistance is futile. “Greed” is a lazy argument. Politicians use it to cover up their own reckless spending. Isn’t it interesting how corporate greed coincides with record deficits and money printing? What a coinkydink. The fact is, “greed” doesn’t explain...

I managed to the the interior of the Laramie to load. The Sea Salt/Bison Brown reminds me of my 2019 Laramie. I'm completely window shopping; I don't plan on buying a new truck for years. But when the time comes, I really, really, really don't want an all black interior. I love my 2021 Longhorn...

According to the Ram website, REV goes on sale Q4 this year, and Ramcharger next year. So it'll be a while before you see pricing on them. Meanwhile, the 2025 ICE Rams are already available for order, being built, and destined for dealers' lots.

I didn't notice that about Rambox until now. However, you can get Limited and Longhorn with the 6'4" bed, which only comes without Rambox.

This morning, the build page wasn't showing the interior. Looks like that's fixed, at least for now* Longhorn has gone back to the old filigree and all brown interior. I prefer the black and brown of my 2021 Longhorn. Not bad, but this is a bit much for me. * I wanted to see what the Laramie...

Big Horn Limited? Do you mean Limited Longhorn. If so, the biggest difference is the interior, though the grilles are also different. Edit: oops, looks like the grilles are the same for 2025.

I just figured they spent on their money on the wheels, and couldn't afford tires that fit. 🤷‍♂️

Good question. I'll go through some math to explain the downsides. Rather, I'll demonstrate how less EV range can translate to less electric power (in kW or HP). But first, let me clear up that I'm not saying there shouldn't be a 660 HP RamCharger. I'm saying, I hope there will also be a less...

Honestly, I'd also like a more modestly spec'd Ramcharger. Shorter range, less horsepower, less weight, lower cost, even high payload, and like you said, a smaller gas engine. (Does Stellantis have a good, reliable, proven engine that fits the bill better than the Pentastar?) Considering most...

What does MF stand for? I mean, I know what it stands for in some contexts, but I doubt that’s what you mean here! 😜 Congrats on your new Ram!

The RamCharger is a series hybrid. It’s a safe bet to say that there will never be a Hemi series hybrid, since Stellantis already has such a powertrain and it uses the Pentastar V6.

Standard on the Tungsten, but I’m pretty sure it’s not on the Limited. The Limited will be available with the 6’4” bed which so far has not been available with Rambox on the 1500.

Yes, that’s it. Ram engineers and management sat around thinking, “How can we devote our resources to designing a system that can screw over customers?” It’s one thing to be upset about the lack of a dipstick. It’s another to impute sinister motives to that decision.

When my sister was pregnant with her first child, she asked us siblings for name ideas. I suggested Denice. She said, “what if it’s a boy?” I answered, “Denephew.” In other words, you really don’t want my advice when it comes to names.

It’s holding up well. I did remove it once, when I needed to pick up some furniture, and it wasn’t so bad. I set up my wiring so I could easily disconnect things in case I needed to remove it. I got an 18” rack, which was about as tall as I could go and still fit in my garage with the roof top...

Some people pay extra for that!

We’re getting a bit off topic, but dogs are more likely to get you in trouble in bear country than protect you.

Keeping the phone unplugged is so it doesn’t use the truck’s GPS instead of its own. I’m not sure that matters, unless the speedometer app on your phone would also use your truck’s speedometer. That would defeat the purpose; you want to measure speed using GPS so you can check the accuracy of...

There’s a lot wrong with that article. First, there’s the no sh*t, Sherlock aspect of it. “replacing a single internal combustion pickup truck with an EV version will have the greatest effect on carbon emissions by a huge margin when compared to other vehicles.” Of course you’ll get the...
