    What is the GVWR, GCWR, and rear gear ratios for the new Hurricane Trucks.

    I might be off base here but I was under the assumption a large part of the tow rating was determined by the ability of the brakes and suspension to control a trailer under heavy braking more so than it was determined by the actual horsepower of the vehicle. If you look at horsepower and tow...

    The single biggest reason I ordered the Longhorn instead of the Limited......

    If it doesn't come with a matching hat and belt buckle I'm not buying it. Period.

    Possible 2025 RHO unveiling??

    Listen guys, I'm sensitive over your lack of sensitivity towards each other here. As far as the truck goes, I actually like the RHO idea. When I ordered my truck I considered getting a TRX however the price jump was too much for me. As much as I love the idea of the TRX I'm not sure how I feel...

    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    If you do get a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane, what battery are you getting for it?

    Hemi to Hurricane

    I agree with this. Not specifically about the Hemi, but I recall seeing news articles along the lines of "Stellantis pays record fuel economy fines to EPA". I'd argue they understand what their customers want to the point in paying over a hundred million dollars in fines to continue to sell...

    Winter gas blend is back

    I agree that the RPM is relative to the speed. The amount of fuel your burning to maintain that 1600 however is a variable. Another theory could be the amount of time the vehicle spends warming up. I think the engine runs on the rich side at start up until it reaches operating temperature. I...

    I believe we are in agreement. I'm assuming you replied to add more detail to my previous comment.

    Rear Window Leak Class Action Lawsuit Status Update

    I like this solution, 3M 5200 is incredible. I hope you never have to replace that window now that you put 5200 on it.

    Winter gas blend is back

    Denser air and more fuel also means more power, so you would use a proportionally lower throttle input to maintain your speed. I believe everything would be equal. I would be more inclined to believe the decrease of temperature increases rolling resistance of the drive train.

    Truck bed bracket?

    When you installed the brackets did you finger tight all of the bolts before tightening them down? As you tighten the bolts it will pull the bracket. There is a tolerance on the bracket and on the bed. I wouldn't expect every bed to be identical. I believe the concern is without the brackets if...

    Rear Window Leak Class Action Lawsuit Status Update

    That's really unfortunate they didn't take care of the issue when this is a known problem that frequently gets reported.

    Build quality of late 23 final 24 s

    I just wanted to weigh in. I have a 2023 that was built near the end of the production run with all the options except the hud and air suspension. I have aproximately 13k miles now. My turn signal mutli function switch wouldn't cancel my blinker when I received it new from the factory which was...

    Anyone else's dealers having trouble getting parts?

    I took mine in for an oil change and they had the parts on hand and swapped it over. Everything is perfect now! I'm just glad everything went smoothly at the dealer.

    How dark are the back windows tinted to and will ceramic tint up front match close enough to the back?

    My tint shop put 3M Ceramic 15% on the fronts. It looks like a close match but it's a little dark for me at night personally. If I could do it again I would have done 20% on the fronts. even if it wasn't a perfect match. I agree with what the others have said, the factory windows are dyed...

    MFT doors hard close / rubbing metal when shut

    I second the vote on checking with your dealer but I recall reading another thread where the user said he ultimately had to realign it himself. I agree with being upset over having the paint damaged. I wouldn't be worried about the cosmetic aspect as much as having exposed metal that could start...

    PPF placement on new truck

    I had the bumper completely covered and about an 8" strip across the front fenders and the hood. I believe my cost was $1200. You can see the line up close if you're looking for it. I've never had anyone else point out the PPF lines from the partials unless I specifically pointed it out.

    Oil reco's for 70K mile 5.7 etorque

    I use Pennzoil ultra platinum with the mopar filter. I would use the recommended oil that's on your fill cap for your model and year of truck. I've heard all sorts of competing theories on why you would want thicker or thinner oil. My experience is anecdotal so take it for what its worth, but...

    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!

    Just thought I'd mention some of those trucks came with 23 gallon tanks. Might be worth double checking the window sticker.
