    So far disappointed with 5.7 etorque mileage, but how much does it really cost???

    I had zero problems with my F-150. So far at 4,000 miles my ram is going to need new calipers and pads and there is a problem with the 12 in touch screen - disappearing song info.

    2019 Ram 1500 vs 2019 Ford F-150 Limited

    I thought the F150 rode about the same as the Dodge. Yes, the V6 sounded lame an I looked at the web page and I did not see etorque compatibility. I stand corrected sir.

    So far disappointed with 5.7 etorque mileage, but how much does it really cost???

    My last truck was a 2016 F150 Super crew, lariat 2.7 twin turbo. Similar sized to my Laramie Longhorn, similar performance got 19MPG. My Laramie Longhorn has me running for gas more often, I'm getting about 16MPG. I wish I had the bigger tank! So, at what cost? I do about 12K miles per...

    2019 Ram 1500 vs 2019 Ford F-150 Limited

    That tuner doesn't work w/ the etorque.

    2019 Ram 1500 vs 2019 Ford F-150 Limited

    Looks nice inside, still not up to the Ram interior. I think Ford is doing a all new F150 in 2020 or 21? Either way the consumer wins! I've owned Fords, Chevys and Dodges. Currently the Dodge is the nicest, the new Chevy looks like chit. I would consider a F150 again. Thus far I am...

    What Options are a rip-off...

    I don Manual tilt, telescope works well. Powering the steering wheel would add complexity, weight and cost- just like pwr windows! FYI steering columns are a tough thing foir manufactures to source. Anyone can build a frame, fender or seat belts..

    The NEW 5.7L HEMI with eTorque

    Nice explanation. I believe that your calculation of watt hours is correct. I believe that I read somewhere about an interview w/ a engineer from FCA, he said the etorque "should give an addtional 2-3mpg". That was before the EPA had rated the system. Perhaps FCA used the system to game the...

    What Options are a rip-off...

    Yea, next thing you know... fenders $400, radiator $350, water pump $200, door sills $300 and weather stripping $250.

    What Options are a rip-off...

    Yea, it's tough when you by off of the lot, like me. You get stuck with inflated options. Also, I think you lose 360 camera (if equipt) w/ those mirrors.

    WeatherTech Floor Liners Suck

    Mopar set $129 ebay delivered, no tax. My only issue w/ the Mopar set is the two piece rear. I mostly haul stuff, not people in the back. edit I thought the rear had a tray effect, it seems to lay flat. Probably ORDERED w/ mopar on ebay below...
