    2026 HEMI or Hurricane?

    My '19 Hemi/eTorque averaged 14.1 over the 72K miles that I had it. That was hand-calculated by logging every single fill-up the whole time I had the truck. When people report those really high MPG numbers on a Hemi, if they don't specifically say it was hand-calculated, I just assume it is...

    Digital Key setup 2025 Laramie

    To be clear, that says '25 and '26 RAMs - built before Oct 6, 2025.

    Radar detector mount options?

    Phone on Course Motorsports MagSafe Qi2 wireless charging mount. Running SpectreNav (for iPhone). RD is mounted up high and would be hidden by flipping my sun visor forward. The app on my phone tells me everything that I would get from seeing the RD display.

    2026 HEMI or Hurricane?

    I had a 2012 Grand Cherokee with a Hemi with start/stop. I hated that. My '19 RAM with Hemi/eTorque was so quiet/smooth (for restarts) that I really didn't mind it at all. My '25 RAM SST HO has start/stop and I have been turning it off every time I drive. The delay on the restart when I take...

    2026 HEMI or Hurricane?

    The thing is, if they got rid of ALL the "gimmicks", the current Hemi which gets kinda crappy mileage would get even worse mileage. And it would still be a dog of a motor (by current standards). I hand calculated (using Fuelly) every fill-up I ever did in my '19 Hemi/eTorque. Over the 73K miles...

    2026 HEMI or Hurricane?

    I bought my first RAM in 2009. I drove Fords for 20 years before that. One thing I have learned is to not buy the first year of any new model. Well, I should've learned. I bought a '25 Limited not realizing that it is the first year of a whole new electrical infrastructure. Generally, (in my...

    UC5 14.4 - update, now CarPlay works but no widget for it

    Okay.... *sigh*.... apparently, somebody slipped a BIG ole dose of Stupid Pills in my drink this week. I am SO dumb sometimes.... I finally realized last night that the problem is not that there is no CarPlay widget. The issue is when you tap Edit Pages and then Create a new Page (or whatever...

    Mine might be the same. Probably is. I definitely do not understand why the charger ever gets disabled...

    UC5 14.4 - update, now CarPlay works but no widget for it

    Saturday morning when I started my truck the Uconnect acted like it had received an update. It booted up slowly and then eventually displayed the default home screen layout. I.e. it came up with a 3-pane arrangement. Top half had the factory Nav displayed, bottom left showing Music, bottom right...

    '25 Limited - Tailgate open, overhead lights won't turn off, Wireless phone charger doesn't work, Uconnect weirdness

    Thanks to @Peterhenric in the other thread for posting me a picture! I am a big old dumbA$$!! There are two buttons in the overhead console. I was pressing the one on the right, which turns the interior lights on/off. I never tried the button on the left. I thought that button was to turn...

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

    Okay, I am a big old dumbA$$!! I never tried that button. I thought that button was to turn on/off the mirror auto-dimming. Obviously, I did not look at it closely enough. The button to the right of that turns on/off the interior lights. It never occurred to me that there would be second...

    '25 Limited - Tailgate open, overhead lights won't turn off, Wireless phone charger doesn't work, Uconnect weirdness

    I confirmed again this morning that this is still a real thing with my truck. I also confirmed that lowering the tailgate turns the interior lights on and turning off the bed lights using the switch that is on the sidewall in the bed does not turn the interior lights off. Only closing the...

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

    I tried clicking all the light-related buttons in the overhead console and nothing would turn them off. I clicked the buttons for the individual reading lamps, and I clicked the button that normally turns all the overhead lights on and off. It SEEMED like MAYBE clicking the button in the bed...

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

    I created a separate thread with video. Do any of y'all have the same issue, where having the tailgate open makes the interior overhead lights come on and they won't turn off? And the tailgate open makes the wireless phone charging pad not work...

    2026 HEMI or Hurricane?

    My first Hemi had to have exhaust leaks (broken header bolt or cracked manifold) repaired something like 6 times. My second Hemi had to have an exhaust leak fixed at 40-something K miles and when I traded it in with 73K (roughly) on it, it had just started to sound like it had a new exhaust...

    '25 Limited - Tailgate open, overhead lights won't turn off, Wireless phone charger doesn't work, Uconnect weirdness

    Are you saying that with your tailgate open you also cannot turn off the interior lights? And your built-in wireless phone charger also does not work with the tailgate open?

    '25 Limited - Tailgate open, overhead lights won't turn off, Wireless phone charger doesn't work, Uconnect weirdness

    I have a '25 Limited that I got at the end of May. I think this is the first time I've driven it with the tailgate open, so I don't know if what is happening is new or if it has been like this all along. I loaded my motorcycle in the truck Friday after work, in prep to leave early Saturday...

    2026 HEMI or Hurricane?

    I had an '09 Hemi. I put 193K miles on it. I had a '19 Hemi/eTorque. I put 72K miles on it. I had a '21 EcoDiesel. I put something like 70K miles on it. Now I have a '25 Limited with the SST HO and about 9K miles. Out of all those, a Hemi is the LAST one I would choose again.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I just wish they had a setup for the MFT so I could have a step when the tailgate is open down, like a normal tailgate. I have a step that folds down for when it's open barndoor style. But, for whatever reason they don't offer that corner step for the MFT like they do if you just have a...
