    '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...

    TFL Trucks - 2025 Ram 1500

    Same for me - our 2nd vehicle is a pacifica plug-in and we drive 70% of the time on elec for much less $$ than gas and crazy torque and regen braking. We also take long road trips and get 30+mpg in hybrid mode. The ramcharger will be awesome for me with 5 times the all elec range of the...

    Trailer back-up camera using UConnect

    Haven't heard anything on this or a similar post about aux cameras. From what I've gleaned on the internet it seems the aux 1 and aux 2 are basically not used unless you have the very pricing trailer camera prep package from the factory or install OEM aftermarket.

    2025 brochure

    Does the Bighorn have adjustable pedals? I can't remember if what trim that starts with. I have never adjusted them on my Laramie but perhaps that would help?

    TFL Trucks - 2025 Ram 1500

    Agreed - I'm very interested in the idea of a Bighorn or Laramie Ramcharger as it would be a perfect fit for my use scenario. I've been able to trade up every few years since 2014 into new and nicer trucks because of equity and deals though and am less optimistic I'll have enough equity in a...

    Official thread for pictures of Ram towing campers

    Not a great picture since I just wanted to get it home and back into winter storage but here is my new to me 2017 Heartland North Trail 24BHS getting some new tires on the trip home from buying it!

    Trailer back-up camera using UConnect

    I have the integrated brake controller and trailer menu pages ad well as aux 1 and aux 2 bit no additional port at the rear bumper. Seems like those 2 aux camera options in UConnect should be able to somehow link to a trailer camera. I may end up with a seperate screen for a wireless camera...

    Aftermarket temp trailer towing mirror recommendations

    I am buying a travel trailer that is almost 28ft hitch - bumper and thinking some towing mirror might be nice. Don't want to swap to OEM towing mirrors so curious if anyone has found a good add-on mirror to use only when needed.

    Who is jumping on the 24s for the Hemi? Who is looking forward to the Hurricane? Will the Hemi return in next year or two?

    Hasn't been released yet - I imagine it will be pretty high but maybe tempered by tax incentives a d market forces... only time will tell.

    Android Auto display update...

    If you have the top screen split between 2 applications like maps and Spotify just touch the screen you want to take over - i.em touch the Google maps window and it will become the full top screen. Alternatively to go back to a split tap the tile my finger is pointing to in this pic.

    Burning rubber/plastic smell

    I've noticed this occasionally when parking in my garage with all my trucks - 19, 21 and now 23. Never figures out the cause but never has caused any issues either so I just decided not to worry about it. Will follow to see if others know the cause.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I ordered my 23 with 18" wheels, and I had the dealer swap those onto my 21 and install my 20" wheels with wildpeaks on the 23. Lots of the dealers around here have new take-offs from swapping out OEM wheels and tires on new trucks for custom sets.

    Android Auto display update...

    On the left side of the screen you should see icons like a microphone and under that a little square icon that will toggle between 1 or 2 screens on the top half. I can take some pics if that doesn't make sense.
