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.

You betcha!

The Hemi without etorque does not have stop/start so there's no way to compare that on a Ram 1500. I will say that on the two trucks I owned with etorque, the stop/start operation was very smooth. With the stock exhaust I often couldn't tell when it shut the engine off unless I looked at the...

Those things are only a gimmick if they are not useful to you. Etorque is useless to me so I would agree with @CHeYeNNe71 in saying it's a gimmick. Ha yeah I'd say you definitely get that. Our 2020 Limited was down for three months waiting for an RF hub which the water coming in the leaking...

Agreed. I didn't dispute the fact that there are likely hundreds of thousands of etorque trucks that haven't had issues with that system. But that is little comfort to anyone who has had a failure with the system and they're waiting for weeks for a replacement part, even if it's only one or...

Like I suggested, read through your extended warranty contract. There are many different warranty plans offered by Ram. So @RamCares can't tell you whether or not it's covered under your specific contract without knowing exactly which one you purchased. The only warranty we know would cover...

Simply put, it's overblown to you because you haven't experienced any issues with it. To those who have had issues with it I'm sure it's kind of a big deal. It was for my daughter, who was without her truck for over two months when the 48v battery module failed. I've owned two trucks with...

That’s them! Airlinks are what I had.

It's not likely that your extended warranty will cover this. Most of them do not cover soft interior items. But you can read through your paperwork to verify that. Everything that is covered is spelled out in the fine print. It's not surprising to me that the selling dealership told you it...

Yes, I've used them for leveling. Sorry but I don't remember the brand I went with. It was on a truck I no longer own.
