    V6 driving impressions

    Lots of people comment on the amount of shifting these trucks do with the Pentastar engine. I think the 8 spd ZF transmission is part of what makes them so nice. The space between the upper gears is small so there isn't a giant increase in RPMs between gears. Mine has the 3.55 rearend because...

    V6 & Air Suspension

    So far I am averaging just over 21 mpg with my Northern Wisconsin wintertime driving in my 4x4 3.55 Longhorn Pentastar. Just over 2000 miles on it now. Very happy with the engine/transmission combo. Most of my driving is 50-60 mph on 55mph speed limit rural highways. I do have Blizzaks on it...

    Trip Computer on my 12" Uconnect Nav system

    I got a return call from the U-connect fellow and the news is not good. He said the initial 12" systems had the trip computer and it had some problems. He claimed they tried to fix it with no luck and decided to abandon the trip computer for the 12" display. We had a long discussion and he...

    Trip Computer on my 12" Uconnect Nav system

    a short update. After a long painful process I will not get into today I finally talked to someone knowledgeable at U-connect. We could actually communicate, he understood what I was saying, Iwas able to send him emails with pictures of my screen as I posted above. He confirmed that all the...

    Trip Computer on my 12" Uconnect Nav system

    Thanks for all the replies. In summary it confirms that at least on the 2019s it was there on the 12" system and that the procedure from the manual is how those of you that have used it are getting there so it seems I am using the correct procedure. I wrote an email to Ram/Mopar/FCA customer...

    Trip Computer on my 12" Uconnect Nav system

    Well that is good news. It means the system can do it. I just have to figure out what I am doing wrong or what is wrong with my system. It worked fine on my 2014 with the 8" screen. Can you tell me the steps you use to get to it please?

    Trip Computer on my 12" Uconnect Nav system

    My 2020 1500 Longhorn with the 12" Uconnect system seems to have no Trip computer. When I follow the manuals instructions and push the info button I only get 3 choices, Traffic, Contry/State and GPS. I do not get the 4th choice of Trip Computer as the manual shows. I have posted 3 pics below...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    ANyone have any insight on what kind of price I should be able to negotiate to on a new special order 2020 Laramie Longhorn 4x4? Best I have been able to do so far is dealer invoice minus all but $100 of the dealer holdback. AS usual for this time of year there seems to be no incentives at the...

    V6 & Air Suspension

    I had a 2020 Longhorn 4x4 built by two different dealers 3 weeks ago. Negotiated and was ready to buy but also wanted to add the split tailgate. They could not order a Pentastar on any 2020 Ram 1500 a week ago Friday. Nor could they yet order the split tailgate. They said they expected more...
