That’s the prevailing theory. I’m not sure anyone has actually proven that though. But if I was buying a Ram 1500 that I plan to idle a lot I’d go with the Hurricane. I think you made a good choice.

I see you’re hitting the bottle again tonight. Cheers :ROFLMAO: 🥃 🥃 🥃

Assuming you mean adaptive headlights when you say dynamic. Which means you have a Limited or Longhorn trim level. Unfortunately with those headlights you can’t just replace a bulb. You have to replace the entire headlight assembly.

You’d likely have better luck posting this in a 4th gen forum. 5th gens have a redesigned system and for the most part 5th gens owners havn’t seen the same issues 4th gens owners have had. Our 2020 Limited has been flawless as far as air suspensions goes. And now that we’re in Florida I don’t...

That’s my point…it wouldn’t be a bigger bang for the buck because in order to recoup their development costs they’d necessarily have to increase the price for the trucks with the 6.4, likely out of may buyer’s comfort zone for a 1500. Look at the increased cost of the 5.7 Hemi in 2026 models...

You have no way of knowing how much it cost to put in the Wrangler. My guess is it did cost a lot. Hence the very high sticker price of one. They need to recoup their development costs. And it’s a specialty vehicle not a high volume seller like the 1500 would be. Kind of like the TRX was a...

You’ve been hitting that bottle a little too much if you think it wouldn’t cost that much to adapt the 6.4 for the 1500. But who am I to judge?🥃

I’ve seen other threads where this is discussed. IIRC it’s removable but I think there are mounting holes behind it so it’ll look bad with no badge. If you’re wanting to replace it with a black badge I seem to remember people saying you can’t get just the badge. That was a few years ago...

That’s the beauty of living in a free country…you don’t have to agree with me. You’re missing my point. Stellantis wasn’t interested in spending any more than necessary to offer a 1500 with a V8 again. Upgrading that V8 engine option to the 6.4 would have cost them a lot more in R&D money...

Trust me, I’d love to have that option. But it wouldn’t help their bottom line. Keep in mind that they were likely trying to reintroduce a V8 option at the lowest cost for them to do that. Most Ram 1500 buyers who want a V8 option are satisfied with the 5.7.

Let’s face it, it’s all about the bottom line. Stellantis took it in the nose when they dropped the V8 option from the 1500 line. They needed to stop the bleeding as fast as they could so they brought back the last V8 they had been using. It was the cheapest and fastest option. I doubt that...

I can’t speak for @Trucknut990 but since retiring at the end of 2024 I’ve been using power tools a lot more around the homestead since I have more time for projects at home. And since I’m in Florida now it would be nice to have backup power in case another hurricane decides to make an...

Interesting. Thanks for the correction. Everything I've read said that the 1.4 liter gas engine acts as a generator only. But if I'm being honest I did very little research on that car as I was just doing it for a buddy who thought he wanted one for commuting to work.

The first half of your first sentence is spot on (you could have stopped there IMO). If anything it's a problem with how easy it is to get a driver's license in most states. The testing is a joke. It's too easy to get a passing grade. I've seen how people drive in other countries. Often...

Never said they did, chief.

And how diesel locomotives work. Chevy Volt as well. You're right, there's nothing new about the tech.

Obviously you were being sarcastic. And I was adding levity in case you missed it. I have no idea what your ethnicity is, nor do I care. We're all truck people. I agree, it doesn't matter what ethnicity the person that hits your truck is. If it's their fault they're just a dumba$$. :D

Since you went there, he meant dot not feather.

You could have selected a trim level with 20 or even 18 inch wheels. But Ram is simply following the trend and going with larger wheels, especially on higher trim levels. What are your truck details? You can swap out wheels and tires on your truck. From what a few members here have reported...

I'm not sure that's right, at least about the suspension. My understanding is that the RHO has the same suspension as the TRX. I attributed it more to the fact that the Hellcat engine is heavier than the HO Hurricane, affecting payload, which directly affects tow capacity.
