Is the 5 liter coyote engine in the F-150 better than the Ram's 5.7 liter hemi, and more broadly, taking into consideration several factors, is the F-150 still the best truck period? In my mind the Ram is better in every conceivable way, including the engine... So why are F-150s literally...

I live in the city and the roads I drive on are ****. I also have a place our in the country and the roads there are perfect. Does the a/s work better over cracked and crumbling roads, and are their any benefits on the highway? Has anyone ever simultaneously owned a LTD or LHorn with a/s and a...

Have those of you with bright white compared your truck to an ivory white?

My current vehicle is an Audi A4. Small as it might appear on the road, this thing is exceptionally well proportioned: the seats specifically the bottom are large so my legs don't feel like they are falling off the front edge and the foot well is big and my knee never hurts from the position of...

How are the Gen 5 air suspensions holding out in the cold Canadian winters? Anyone got a '19 or '20 a/s equipped 1500 that's still functional?

Looking at one of the last '24 Rebel's with the 5.7. Options list is good. Two questions: do the sunroofs on '24 vintages still leak or was that an isolated thing and secondly do the rear windows on the '24 vintages leak? Any other Rebel specific issues people encountered? The one I'm...

Looking at a used '21 Ltd with the longer bed and air ride suspension. Mileage is 81,000 kilometers. How have the new gen air ride suspensions held up in Canada? This one is in a particularly colder Northern Ontario city.

So they aren't that good I hear. Hemi was better wasn't it? Cranking out 400+ or 500+ horsepower from a 3 liter six creates lots of heat. Who here has ever, ever heard of a 5.7 or 6.4 hemi overheating from a heavy load? Never. Hemis had 2 issues the exhaust manifold bolts and lifter failure if...

Finally... '24 Ram 1500 Rebel with no pano sunroof, coil spring suspension, Night Package, the Alpine not HK stereo and the plain black interior. Price is right but I can tell from pictures and without even looking at the VIN that it has been sitting on the lot since Feb/March. Is it too late...

Is rust proofing and undercoating the same thing? And then for these trucks is it best to rust proof from new or can you remove rust from a relatively newer truck and then rust proof? And also is fluid film a good product for this? Would 3 cans be enough? How does me cleaning the bottom with a...

Is the rear window leak in any way connected to the panoramic sunroof would you say? I can't see the two being related...

Is the pedal position on the Gen 5s such that knee pain will result?

If I have just an '18 Bowrider that's roughly 3,200 pounds with the engine and equipment, and then a single or dual axle trailer, and then like 500 pounds of my own crap physically in the truck's interior or bed...then isn't a 5.7 equipped LTD with the 3.21 rear end and '22 inch wheels like...

So a buddy of mine bought a new Silverado with GMs 5.3 litre and get this, after 25,000 miles, the injectors are effed up. Is that even right? How can a brand new engine have deposits on the injectors? I owned a diesel Jetta in '02 that soared into the 300k's and I didn't even service the...

Does the Lifter Fail issue only apply Gen 4 and early? Heard Ram axed the failed lifter supplier and went with a new shop. Any truth there? More importantly, any Gen 5s with failing lifters? I could be wrong but you don't actually hear that much in Gen 5. Intake studs yeah but not the lifters?

This might be a dumb question but is the accelerator pedal on the Gen 5 1500s too close to the transmission tunnel? Reason why I ask is I have sometimes experienced knee pain when driving vehicles with a weird pedal placement in the foot well. My current A4 despite being much smaller than a 1500...

Are the spray in bedliner, bed utility group, tonneau cover, class IV receiver hitch, Harmon Kardon Audio system, all weather floor mats and trailer brake gain controller best to order int he after market? Seems like you would want color, sunroof, rear gear set ratio and any suspension options...

Is there a generally regarded "best" oil for the 5.7 engines? I know for Audi you should run (not walk) from what the dealer's use and only ever use Motul 8100, amazing oil that's also cheaper than the more well marketed brands. Anyways, any pro star hemi heads out there that swear by a...

What is it? And is it needed for towing?

What's the consensus on the body colored bumper? I like it but I will admit to liking the full chrome look on the LTDs and LHorns. It's sharp and seems to suit the truck. The only way I would eat the cost of the body color bumper is with a white one. I would skip on the tricoat ivory white and...
