@RamRebelSteel: Whatever happened with your cracked sheetmetal near welds in your truck bed?

. Tavares (CEO of Stellantis) was one of the first big auto executives to say "there's no way the world can go to EVs on a crash program, it just won't work" (my paraphrasing). So I give Tavares credit for having the good sense and the huevos to say from the get-go that the radical greenies had...

. The main point of my previous post was that the ONLY fair way to charge vehicle fees is based on (1) MILES DRIVEN and (2) WEIGHT OF VEHICLE. Technically speaking, those are by far the most important two factors that determine the actual wear-and-tear a given vehicle imparts on the roadways. ...

. When you press the latch, can you hear the solenoid click at all? Or is it just dead silence? . If you hear nothing at all when you press the latch, then it's more likely an electrical problem, not "sticking" mechanically. . I've never had any mechanical sticking/rubbing with my 2020 MFT, but...

. Might not be what you want, but I believe the Banks iDash lets you calibrate the speedometer and it'll show your corrected speed all the time. They also have some really nice "pods" to mount the iDash to the driver's side A-pillar (right below the grab handle). . I have nothing to do with...

. Regarding stowing the receiver hitches, I thought that was the main reason Ram puts the two in-floor storage bins in each side of the rear floor. I know a lot of guys buy lockable metal inserts to put into those in-floor storage bins, in order to carry their pistols safely and hidden, but I do...

. Thank you for the detailed cost analysis, that's cool. . My situation is a bit different, in that I currently have an EcoDiesel but the vast, vast majority of my driving these days is short local trips (I live less than 10 miles form work). At the time I bought the ED, there were plans to...

. Just curious, what are the costs of gasoline per gallon and electricity per kWh where you are? . Where I live in SoCal, diesel is holding solidly around $5.50/gal and my electricity tiers are $0.33 and $0.43/kWh. .

FWIW, if you want to replace the sway bar and its mounting hardware, the guys on Truck Show Podcast are fans of the Hellwig products, and Sean Holman knows a TON about trucks. I have never used Hellwig products, because I don't need to mod my truck. But FWIW, if you want what is supposedly some...

. Yeah, the mandating part of it is completely wrong. . But charging road-use fees based on vehicle weight & miles traveled IS the most fair way to have every user pay their share of the upkeep. . Pure and simple, it's physics, combined with personal responsibliity: The heavier a vehicle is, the...

. My 2020 EcoDiesel, only 10 k miles, has oil seepage on the tubes similar to your photo "IMG_0527.jpeg", but I've never seen any oil drips. I've been wondering what is causing it, but was waiting until I take mine in for the HPFP replacement under warranty. .

. Sorry to hear that Ram isn't handling it as a warranty issue for you. Keep good records (receipts, emails, calls, date & time discussed with service advisor, etc.) in case Ram does make it a recall issue and you can apply for reimbursement. By chance did you ask to talk to the area rep, see if...

. Welcome to Ram! Very sorry to hear you've had the dreaded water leak issue, I wish you the best in getting it resolved. . FWIW, I can attest that not all Rams are like yours. My 2020 has only been to the dealer once, for an oil change, never once had a single warranty issue in four years. Low...

. It does seem odd that Ramboxes are standard. I'd bet that it's a programming issue with the build & price website, and even the ordering screens the dealers use have been known to have anomalies. Maybe wait awhile and see if the ordering websites get straightened out closer to the actual model...

. Similar situation for me. I live less than ten miles from work, and I don't do any shopping at all unless I'm forced to, so 5-6 in-town short trips each week are the bulk of my usage. Because of that, I use my beater Prius for daily driver, the EcoDiesel for highway trips or when I need to...

. Let us know what you find out the cause was. .

. I'm genuinely sorry that you had such a bad experience, it's sad. But my experience has been COMPLETELY OPPOSITE of yours. . My 2020 Laramie Longhorn has never once been to the dealer except for a battery check and an oil change. Not one single flaw or problem with mine. I'm a hard grader, but...

. For me, the VAST majority will be on battery. But it would also mean the world to me knowing after the battery runs out of juice I'm able to keep going on gasoline. . Everyone has a unique use-case and unique sensibilities, thankfully at this time we still have options. Just for myself, I'm...

' I understand what you're saying. It wasn't just the opinions of the journalists themselves, it was based on customer-survey results. But to each their own, and clearly you have a lot of knowledge of audio/infotainment systems and you know what you want. Best of luck in customizing your Ram to...

. You don't want to hear this, but Uconnect is considered by nearly every automotive journalist to be hands down the best infotainment system in the industry. Some of the other automakers are starting to catch up to Uconnect a bit now, but Uconnect has been rated the top one for many years in a...
