Eighty, thanks for your reply. Much appreciated.

Thanks for your replies- Realize this is "5thgenrams" -but when I googled for applicable forums your 4th gen forum appeared the most active so, here I am LOL. If there's a better forum to post on, LMK and I'll move along! :)

? Can only assume that right? Post is in 4th Gen forum -expect 4th Gen owners do stop by here right? LOL Surprised there weren't a few 4th Gen responses with feedback on this topic.

Mike, thanks for your reply- Whine in reverse was very obvious on the first truck -55 thread views and no responses from anyone familiar with that whine. Leads me to agree w/Red at this point: red flag. 3.55 happened to be on the first truck I looked at -do very little towing so would be fine...

Redz72, thanks for your reply- just saw it -have thread set to "watch" -thought I'd get email updates.

Test drive on another 2021 with 3.55 gears today- Not exact 1:1 test -this truck had the anti-spin rear diff. Slight intermittent whine in reverse -not as loud or consistent as the other truck. Note: whine from both trucks was at a normal/reasonable speed in reverse. Going to get an opinion...

"bump" Maybe I exceeded the Q limit on this forum LOL-anyway, assumed this is an EZ Q(?) Common for a 3.55 differential to whine in reverse? Any opinions appreciated.

Had telcon with salesman regarding a 38Kmi truck on their lot that Carfax shows oil changes done at their dealership at 8,600 to 10,200 mile intervals. Recommended interval=8Kmi, and the more applicable recommended interval for this truck may have been 3.5-5K miles since it has a Class IV hitch...

Test drove a 2021 Classic Warlock V6 4X4 today: 33,000 miles, 3.55 differential. Carfax and inspection indicate the truck has been well-maintained. After 15" on the road, shifted into reverse and heard a distinct whine while backing from what sounded like the differential. Didn't sound horrible...

Confusing stuff -maybe the intent of their wording- The release said "Stellantis launches SPOTiCAR" and the release reads like a Stellantis warranty program. Weird business decision to compete with Maxcare. Regardless, thanks again for confirming that SPOTiCAR should be avoided!

Have always avoided white b/c I run my vehicles into the ground, and white shows rust. A 2021 Classic Warlock I'm looking at is white- Aware that the hood/tailgate are aluminum -is rust generally less of a concern on Ram trucks than years ago? Any experience/feedback appreciated.

Darksteel, thanks for your reply- Confirms my perception: scam. Weird that it was announced as a "Stellantis Warranty" yet not offered by all RAM dealers near me except that one.

Shopping a dozen RAM dealers nearby -only one offers "SPOTiCAR" CPO warranty on 2021 Classic Warlocks I'm searching. Stellantis' "SPOTiCAR" warranty was introduced in the USA last year -first launched in Europe in 2019 across 11 countries...

Rick 3478, thanks for your reply- There are dozens of these 2021's available around here -focusing on Ram dealers first. Generally 20-35Kmi, and none appear to be molested toys in the posted pics. Almost all are 3.21 rear axle, a couple 3.55's. All have 8spd Auto 850RE trans. Settled on...

OK, these 2021 Classic Warlocks are 5 lug- Does this thread need to be moved to the 4th Gen forum? Kind of a generic Q

I'm new here- Looking at 2021's, therefore posted in this "5th gen (2019+ Ram 1500s)" forum. Wrong for some reason? IDK

PurpleRT, thanks for your reply- As noted, quite a few of these 2021's on the lots here -many lower/higher VINS with the Class III. Parts shortage possible but suspect not. Window sticker "Class III Bumper Hitch standard" -some for sale don't have a box receiver, but maybe that means ball can be...

Shopping local dealers for a used 2021 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock V6 -quite a few available. A couple have the Class IV Receiver Hitch option- V6 tow limit = 7,730 lb. Class III hitch limit = 6,000 lb. Class IV hitch limit = 10,000 lb Q: Assume that the Class IV hitches were special ordered over...
