    6 mpg better than Hemi in C&G tests

    No I left chrysler in the spring. Couldn’t handle the inferior products anymore. So many problems with every new refreshed / redesigned vehicle. Happy that I left at that time. Def systems will always have issues and really they are way worse on the environment. Only an ignorant government...

    6 mpg better than Hemi in C&G tests

    When I was taking my ram specialist certification when the 1st generation of eco diesel was coming out (Grand Cherokee), the training team spent a lot of time trying to convince us that the R.O.I for an eco diesel would be easily realized. What I have seen in the marketplace is that once that...

    Best half-ton snow tires

    I have run Hankook iPike Rw11 on several trucks. Great performance for me in winter deep snow and highway for ice. I also like the Michelin m/s 2 as they have great highway performance on ice but lack in snow due to more shallow snow chanelling. Blizzaks are good for ice and highway but are...

    Do Tow Mirrors have Auto-Dimming

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    In c In Canada the usual month for biggest ram discounts is July. That just historical data but the deal depends on which retail centre your dealership reports to. WBC (western business Center) is the one I was working in.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Seems like a fair deal to me. I don’t imagine there will be much for incentives on the hood of a 2020 until March 2020

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    I had awful fuel economy until i has 12,000kms on my odo. It was atrocious. Now my average is 12.8L/100kms which is 18.2 US mpg. Comparable with my 2017 ram.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Unfortunately the assumption you are making is incorrect. If you actually qualify for advantage plan pricing this is how it works. Pref Price + $25 less any rebates and incentives you qualify for. This is governed by FCA directly and there are several pieces of additional paperwork you would...

    12” screen issues

    Best practice is to take it to the dealership and have them open a repair order. They can run diagnostics and report to FCA. Sometimes a flash update will fix it, other time they will just replace a faulty unit.

    IDENTITY THEFT - protect yourself NOW

    I want to make everyone aware of a scam that is going on right now. As some of you may know I work in the vehicle industry as a business manager (finance guy) and I attended a seminar recently that was related to identify theft and what is going on in the marketplace right now. Many of us post...

    We Get Some Time With The New Ram Multifunction Tailgate:

    Im not too excited about it however my use of the truck is not allowing me to-see the benefit. I am sure for someone who has different use this would be handy. Just not for me.

    Any final verdict on whether air suspension ride is actually better than coil suspension?

    Active pre loading during s cornering situation is a function of air auspension. Absolutely. This is accurate . Its subtle but it does slightly drop the inside fender and slightly raise the outside. This has been a thing on chrysler peoducts for 8 years now and is only on specific behickes they...

    Rough Downshifting Coming to a Stop

    You could always ask the dealer to put the transmission back into learn mode. Its common on the 8speed after 10k miles or so to need to do a learn. The shop can do it in minutes.

    Any final verdict on whether air suspension ride is actually better than coil suspension?

    Air suspension is a more stiff ride. I have a back injury and am slightly more sensative to the jarring in a vehicle. I only lasted 2-3 hours in the cab of my air ride truck before i had to get out and stretch, have a good cry and try again. My new 19 with coils, i have not hit a limit for time...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Thats a tough one to answer but here is how that decision is made. If the inventory mix of 2019 trucks is 40% or less of availability at the dealership the programs historically are slightly better than the newer model year. Not always the case tho and i am pretty sure the guys who make this...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    There are absolutely places to avoid in alberta. Its truck world and the dealers here move large truck volume. Unfortunately im not at a dodge store anymore so i would not be able to get you the deal i used to be able to find. Good trucks tho.

    Protecting painted bumpers on Sport 1500

    Xpel is the only brand i would ever use. Its top notch and i have lots of success with. Ask around to find the beat installer. A great product like xpel can be ruined with a poor installer. I have xpel and its great.
