    Not great at towing

    I moved this Cobia 277cc a couple of times with my 2019 Ram Limited 4X4. There is no way I would have towed regularly with it. That poor little 5.7L was not happy.

    Farewell 5.7

    I have no ill will for Ram. Mine was a nice truck but I agree with the OP. The 5.7L was a gutless wonder. I swapped it for a Powerboost F150... A disaster. And then went to GMC it's everything my Ram Limited was plus.... 6.2l, Google based infotainment (no map updates to worry about) and...

    Best cover for hail

    Look through the covers that California Car Cover sells. They have excellent quality and some are pretty thick. Then look into building a garage.

    2025 Ram 1500 First Drive: No More Hemi

    I did a build and price on the new Ram Tungsten..... More than my Denali Ultimate.

    2025 Ram 1500 First Drive: No More Hemi

    So, did you already ditch the GMC?

    Test drove a GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation yesterday

    This thread is a little stale but I owned a 2019 Ram Limited 4X4 eTorque which I traded for a 2021 F150 Platinum 4X4 Powerboost. The Ram was a better riding truck and the Powerboost was unreliable. I wanted to ditch it within 6 months but the stupid pandemic shortages, I couldn't lemon law it. I...

    RAM 1500 owners...Tell me the pros and cons. I'm trying to decide which pickup to buy. Edit: I bought a '24 RAM 1500 Limited! Yippee!

    I've owned a number of Ram/Dodge trucks (last a 2019 Ram Limited) and was happy with them. I've owned more Ford F series and now my first ever GM. GMC Sierra Denali. Really happy with the GMC but I will check out the 2025 Ram hybrid when I get the urge to swap trucks again. I like the GMC Google...

    Largest (tallest) tire on 2020 limited 22" rims (with air suspension)

    I know. See #38 If you're rubbing at highway speeds (basically going straight with minimal steering input), you're gonna be rubbing like crazy turning into parking lots over curbs at normal height.

    Largest (tallest) tire on 2020 limited 22" rims (with air suspension)

    I guess I don't understand why you wouldn't want the truck to get a little better mpg in aero mode. Way back in the late 80's I had a Lincoln Mark VII that would lower at highway speeds. I know my 2019 Ram would go into aero and I had no reason or desire to disable it.

    What else in your garage?

    Golf carts? Got one of those for the marina. It spends the winter shoved in the garage though.

    CAUGHT: 2025 Ram 1500 with Hurricane Twin-Turbo Power!

    The 2025 Ram with the new engine will be worth a look for me. The only thing I was hoping for was turning the infotainment screen to landscape from portrait. Both my Ford and GM screens have been landscape after selling the 2019 Ram I had. I much prefer the landscape orientation. But, other than...

    New 2024 Ford F-150 First Look: If It Ain't Broke, Add Stuff

    The 2024 isn't much of a refresh. All kinds of problems with the Powerboost not starting with "stop safely now" message. I owned a 2021 F150 Powerboost and it was the worst Ford I've owned. If I lose interest in my GMC I'll look at Ram again after the 2025 refresh with the new engine.

    F150 Reality Check

    I was initially interested in the ev's but now, nope. Lack of actually working charging stations, battery life and what are we going to do with all these used up batteries. I'm now even turned off with hybrids, mostly with the terrible experience I had with my Powerboost F150. I'll stay ICE as...

    Air conditioning Hack

    I'm amazed this thread is still active. No change in the a/c system since 2019?

    Map Update Out of Stock

    I guess a hybrid because Uconnect still uses TomTom for nav. I did prefer the Uconnect over the Ford Sync system.

    Considering a Ram 1500, but concerned about reliability... New to 5GenRam

    Yep, not a fanboy of Ford, Ram or GM individually but I am of the 3 together. Yes, I trade everyother year and I won't buy basically the same vehicle as a replacement. Up until covid and the ev push. The manufacturers were refreshing every 4 years so I could swap between Ford and Ram and get...

    Map Update Out of Stock

    I hope Ram goes to a Google operating system in the next refresh. I have it on my GMC and really happy with it. Google maps IS the nav system. No more outdated nav system maps. I don't even use Android Auto any more. Full map on the 13" screen. Siriusxm on the main IP (along with gauges) . Speed...

    Considering a Ram 1500, but concerned about reliability... New to 5GenRam

    I've owned Dodge now Ram off and on since the early 2000's. I was happy with all of them. Why none now? Not enough change since the 2019 Ram Limited 4X4 eTorque I had. Went to F150 which I had owned plenty in the past. Tried the Powerboost and that was the worst Ford I've owned. Trying out GMC...

    You missed out on a good deal then.
