less than 300 ft lbs and more than 5000 lbs is just a recipe for a gutless truck, no matter how good the transmission is. It is just physics. Everyone is free to buy whatever motor or truck they want but it seems crazy to me ! They go ok at full throttle where they are in the powerband, what...

I have the black package 22's and 3:92 and average 13.5 l per 100km/ 18 mpg us. This is about the same as i got with my previous truck, it was a 17 with 20's and 3:21 gears. I would say that the larger heavier wheels are never going to affect your mileage positively, however the effect is...

I remember seeing interior shots with a new style dash, i assume this would not be a direct bolt in from the new 1500, between that and new fenders hood and box and bumpers it seems like tons of updating where it would be easier to just go to the new better body. Wouldn't HD customers appreciate...

The bigger questions is, why extensively update the old cab rather than use the new one? It seems like after all the investment in the 1500, and all the investment to update the old cab and interior of the HD they would have been better off going with the new body..... I'm sure they have...

I agree, looks like wider box sides and larger wheel openings.

Gear changes were more of a game changer with old 3 speed or 4 speed autos, these new 8 speed transmissions have a huge ratio spread, so the exact rear end ratio isn't such a big deal. My old truck had the 3:21, but with the low first gear it felt much more aggressive than i would have thought...

I wonder what axle is in the 8 lug rear? Currently the 6 lug Dana super 60 is only available on 2WD max tow package trucks. I believe it is similar to a ford super duty axle, so would likely hold the torque and loads from a supercharged off road truck. It seems unlikely they would have different...

The only issue i have is a squeaky center console, and i will figure that out soon enough. The truck is great. It is faster than my 17, looks great, rides great, pulls a trailer good for a 1/2 ton.... I certainly wouldn't trade it for a ford or chevy. I wish you could get the black limited...

Looks good, hopefully it holds up to stone chips etc....

Loaded trucks that don't have the largest available engine always confuse me..... if someone was trying to save the planet then don't buy a big truck, if you are trying to save money then buy a lower end truck.... i think the v6 is fine in base model trucks as they are light and money is a...

I would buy the V8 with 3:21 gears , they get good highway mileage and you will be able to sell it when you are done with it. I don't know too many people who would want to purchase a well equipped truck with the small motor.... 3:92 gears do seem to hurt the highway fuel economy, compared to...

They will change the geometry a little, but may actually positively effect the handling. I have run them in the past, and pushing the wheels out for a wider track often makes the vehicle more stable and less prone to body roll. If you don't like the way it drives or looks, then they are quick to...

I know this sounds like a crazy idea, but I understand the 2019 rams have the same bolt pattern as the current chevrolet 1500. I want to buy some 20" wheels for winter, and can pick up used gm 20" wheels for a decent price compared to new ram wheels....

My opinion is that if you are looking for more power, you are better off going with a custom tune from a trusted local tuner. They are usually not too much more than a good handheld tuner and they can tweak it to your preferences and modifications.

On the bright side, we have had 3 4th gen rams and now have 2 5th gens in our Family bussiness with zero issues so far. The 2017 had one warranty issue with keyless entry and the others have been completely flawless. This was not the case with a 2015 sierra denali that we had tons of...

Thanks for the insight, I find the ram seats to be pretty good for my body type but I guess it is a very subjective thing. Volvo seats are certainly some of the best in the industry, i didn't care for the T8 powertrain in the one I drove, but many people seem to love that as well.

Nice garage! How does the limited interior compare to the XC90 and 7 series? It has been a few months since i was in a new volvo but at that point it seemed like one of the best suv interiors i had seen.

no 12".... I didn't want to wait for a factory order and the 8.4 works good for me. I am more of a hardware guy not a tech guy so that wasn't the top priority.

I am writing this up when i have time, so please bear with me if my writing is a little disjointed. I come from a Chevy family, and work on old chevys for fun on the weekends. For the last few years I have driven a ram as my daily driver/ work truck as they fit my needs very well. I love the...

I finally managed to find a truck that was optioned close to what I was looking for, I picked it up yesterday and am very happy so far. I wanted the 3:92 gears, trailer brake, small mirrors and the 22" wheels that come with the Black package. To get these options we ended up with some extras...
