    Deep dive with Ram engineers on Rev/Ramcharger on March 19th + a Q&A

    Per an email I just got from the Ram Insider+ program about the event they're doing on March 19th at 2:00pm ET about the Rev and Ramcharger: "Join us as we go in-depth with our engineers, designers and other subject matter experts. Not just about features and architecture of these trucks, but...

    Ram REV specs

    I watched the livestream presentation at the NYIAS today. Specs from Car and Driver, so I don't have to type them all out: With 500-Mile Range, 2025 Ram 1500 REV Wants to Be Your Pickup Truck. While the specs are nice, I'm rather disappointed that Ram is taking so long to get this to market...

    Making changes in D?

    I placed an order on 10/22 and realized the next day that between the dealer creating the order sheet that I signed off on and them actually actually submitting the order a few days later, they'd dropped the 33 gallon tank. I noticed that discrepancy the day after they submitted the order and...

    After a 1,563 year generation...the next gen Tundra!

    https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a37640057/2022-toyota-tundra-specs-revealed/ The appearance is, uh, definitely an acquired taste, but it's certainly attractive on paper. Seems to be a lot of picking and choosing features from Ram, Ford, and GM.

    2022 Tundra finally unveiled

    https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a37640057/2022-toyota-tundra-specs-revealed/ Not gonna lie, I'm interested enough to check it out in the spring, primarily a hybrid 1794. On paper, it seems quite attractive, though the looks are definitely an acquired taste.

    Advanced Safety Group completely gone from Longhorn?

    Is the ASG completely gone from the Longhorn, or have features of it been added to the Level 1 package like the Tech Group?

    It's a shame this transmission isn't used anymore!

    Chrysler clearly had a market leader with this tranny, I have no idea why they stopped manufacturing it.

    All in good fun...how do you rank the looks of the LD and HD trucks?

    Totally a light hearted question--how do you rank the looks of the latest model LD and HD trucks? Here's my ranking, focused on the exteriors of the highest trim of each truck. 1/2 tons: Ram Longhorn (I know, technically not the highest trim, but I prefer the Longhorn grill to the Limited...

    Thinking about upgrading to 3500 in MY22/23

    When I got my truck in 2018, I'd planned on staying in the 1500 light use case sweet spot for the foreseeable future (mostly just errands, hauling the family and gear, Home Depot runs, rental ~3500# camper a few times a year, etc), but my use case will be substantially different starting next...

    13 months and ~13k miles with my Pentastar Longhorn...drivability review so far

    I've had my loaded up Pentastar Longhorn (every option except ORG and the trailer tow group) for 13 months and just shy of 13k miles so far. You can see the specs in my sig. Overall, I mostly thoroughly still enjoy the truck! Rather than wax on about the areas that are great (seriously, besides...

    Cool electric powertrain!

    https://www.caranddriver.com/news/2021-rivian-r1t-electric-pickup-truck-photos-info I'm still somewhat skeptical about the R1T--I'll believe it's not vaporware when production models are actually out, but this is a really interesting concept and (not counting the front end) actually looks...

    Idle curiosity...any clean sheet Hemi engines in the works?

    I know we've talked about ways FCA could update the 5.7, 6.4, and 7.0 (not so much the 7.0, more the other two), but after reading an article about Cadillac's upcoming 4.2, I wonder if FCA/Ram has any clean sheet engines in the works. As best as I can tell, the base Gen III Hemi was introduced...

    Future mods/accessories

    Now that I've got my truck, I've got a few mods/accessories planned: Window tint: Planning on 3M Crystalline, probably 40% or 50% on all windows. I doubt they'll do the windshield, but if they do, I'll try to get 70% or 90% there. I'm not a fan of the super dark tints, but I do want to block as...

    V6 driving impressions

    Picked up my V6 Longhorn on Friday, more info in this thread. Definitely doesn't have the power of the Hemi, but plenty of power for my casual driving style. There are some transmission issues I lined out in the other thread, but the engine itself seems perfectly fine and I don't think it's...

    V6 Crew Cab Longhorn with RamBox - Overall and Driving Impressions

    I picked up my truck on Friday! I've got pictures over here in this thread. As a disclaimer before I go any further, this is my first truck. I've owned and leased sedans and SUVs in the past (and got handed down my mom's minivan for my first vehicle back in the day), mostly the non luxury...

    My Patriot Blue & Black/New Saddle Longhorn

    First batch of pictures of my truck, picked it up on Friday! Started pouring while I was at the dealership, so didn't get to do a full photoshoot, and then was busy erranding all weekend. Hoping to get some time to get more pics this week. Definitely the cleanest the interior will ever be, right...

    Compression ignition gas engines?

    I wonder if we're going to see any of the Big 3 adapting this technology to their engines? Now that Mazda has shown it's possible, I'd love to see the Big 3 take the SPCCI concept and run with it, with their substantially higher R&D budgets, since it looks like it solves the HCCI puzzle. The...

    BedTred Impact Mat - ETA unknown

    I emailed BedRug about availability of the Bedtred Impact Mat for the short bed RamBox model, they said it's coming eventually but they don't have an ETA. Not sure if anyone else is more interested in it than the BedRug, but thought I'd pass that on.

    Recommendations for bed mat and retractable tonneau cover?

    I'm looking at two addons when my truck comes in, some sort of bed mat and a retractable tonneau cover. For the bed mat, anyone have any experience with the Bedtred impact mat? I sent BedRug an email today asking if it will be available for the 5'7" bed with RamBox in the future. For the...
