I would like to see this as well, lots of lifted trucks around now but not many lowered.

what i want to see is a cross hair / gen 4 style grill on a 5th gen. I'm surprised that they haven't been floating around all over the place as many people seem to lament the fact that the new trucks didn't retain that historic design feature.

I removed mine and would say it made little to no difference to the performance or sound. It does have carbon in it so it makes sense that it is for emissions. I was hoping for more intake noise but it isn't noticeable.

To back up the tire idea, the previous gen GM trucks and SUV use the same tires i believe.... both in 22" and the 20".

I notice a vibration at around 60MPH with my 3;92 gears and 22" wheels, it is very minor but more noticeable in 4x4 auto. In my mind it is a very minimal annoyance in the smoothest and quietest truck I have ever had. Its one of those things that if you know its supposed to be an issue, you...

As long as all 4 tires are the same outside diameter on a 4x4 vehicle you are golden. You can throw 35" tires on a stock truck and not do anything mechanically as long as they physically fit on the truck. It will just change the way it drives a little, and throw off your speedometer as the...

If i did it again I would get 3:21 gears, first is really low in these trucks anyway so getting off the line isn't a problem. I think the lower highway RPM is more of a benefit than the marginal improvement in acceleration. Just my 2 cents from a guy that's had a few rams.

As i understand it, the new 8HP75 is able to handle more torque than the previous 8HP70, the srt 6.4 vehicles use the same designation (8HP70) so even the old trans must be good for 500 hp or so. :) As for tuning, I am sure a good custom tuner would not have any issues. People tune new lambos...

I'm hoping for an aluminum 426, boost is good but you cant beat big v8 naturally aspirated power. It would also have enough grunt to run a taller axle ratio, to keep the economy reasonable ish on the highway.

It's only a matter of time until ready built kits are available. Any good speed shop could build you a supercharger system no problem, as the motor on the new truck is the same as the previous gen.

I meant full size, i wasnt very clear. I love the charger and challenger but although they are larger than the mustang and camaro they dont have anything like the space of a crew cab ram. Short of a CT6 or s-class/ 7 series rwd, v8 and big back seat are hard to come by. It is widely acknowledged...

sounds like you are the perfect customer for the Rebel! Base model trucks with the best motor and drive train available appeal to me, simple and less to go wrong, they also look great with smaller wheels and big tires. Then i remember how much i like my keyless entry, remote start and heated...

I believe the LED lights were marginal because they were too bright and caused glare for on coming traffic. I find the Laramie lights, and the limited lights to be very good on dark back roads.

we care about how fast they are, because they are our daily drivers . I use mine how people used to use full size sedans, but with the added capability to tow and haul large loads. To fill this role it needs to be comfortable, spacious, fun and quick. It is very fun to keep up with hot hatches...

https://www.motortrend.com/cars/ram/1500/2019/ram-1500-2019-truck-of-the-year-finalist/ The rams are putting out very similar numbers to the 6.2 GM trucks in motor trend testing. The old gm trucks (2014 ish) with the new 6.2 and the 6 speed were actually faster.

I haven't noticed a jump half way through first... mine will chirp the tires good most of the way through first, where my old truck would only chirp once or twice. Maybe do a bunch of full throttle launches and get the transmission to learn a little. New vehicles tend to have a lot of torque...

I agree, i have read many explanations about the mexico plant etc. It just doesn't seem to tie in with the current attitude at Ram and FCA. They have been hitting it out of the park recently and a refresh on the HD trucks seems like a half assed effort. Im sure it will be a good truck, but I...

I have seen several and i like the exterior design, I think it looks fresh crisp and modern. It seems like they have made advances in the engineering of the body and frame and neglected the interior. It is not insignificant to cut 350 or 400 lbs out of a truck that was already similar in...

I have started running my hemi in tow haul mode most of the time, on the advice of my tuner. He does custom tunes on my other cars (not the new ram) and says that the way new transmissions are tuned to lug the motor does little for fuel economy in real world driving conditions, it is mostly...
