The Big Horn grill is ugly. Could have done without the stupid little nostrils. They could have given it a crosshair instead.
From the pictures it looks like the grills might be a little more easy to replace with a different one. I would swap in the Laramie grill. It looks way better and I'm sure in black it would be fine. I'm not a chrome person.
The crosshair grill is Dodge trademark and you won't ever see it in a Ram.

Non ethanol is always a lot more expensive.
Not in Nebraska. Only the 87 non-ethanol is more expensive that E10 87. I can get 91 non-ethanol for the same price as e10 91 or 93.

$1.70 more for premium? I would be suspicious of that station lol.
Maybe they sell way more premium and can offset the cost of regular???
Probably the other way around. Sell less premium, and have to keep the cost for premium at the price it was purchased at, vs 87 octane that gets refilled more often and can adjust for lower prices if new supply

My 2017 Ram truck is factory equipped with the crosshair grille. They were used through 2018 model year, long after Dodge and Ram brand were separated.

Yes, but that's when they changed it up to make the crosshair grill a Dodge exclusive in an effort to separate the brands.

I’m not sure what the above reply means, but speaking directly to this quote below:

Dodge was separated/removed from the Ram name, and made separate entities in 2009 (although some interior parts that say “Dodge” were still used in Ram trucks through 2010).
The crosshair grill was used on Ram Trucks through 2018. Therefore, saying “you won’t ever see it in a Ram” is incorrect.

I meant going forward. Why would I be talking about past models in a thread about new models?

Dodge isn't using the crosshair anymore. The new style is called Bandit. Ram could go back to using the crosshair like they did for years. Better yet, end the nonsense of Ram being separate from Dodge. F150 and Silverado aren't separate brands. The ugly Tundra and Titan aren't separate either.

They changed names so things wouldn't have the "dodge"(y) quality in peoples mind.
Silverado and Sierra are different brands, so those are bad examples.

The separation was part of merger to make it easier to sell off certain brands if needed.

That's premium gas. Gas Buddy doesn't have a selection for non-ethanol premium.
I told you Kum and Go sells non-ethsnol. And I was talking about premium

That's what I wanted to see. Definitely the best prices I've seen when compared to E10 premium. Looking around that area, it looks like E10 premium sells for about 15¢ less per gallon. Non-ethanol around here is about 80¢ per gallon more than E10.

You can't look online to really compare. Here in Nebraska mid grade is e10 89 octane. Premium can be anything from e10 91, non-ethanol 91, or e10 93. Some places even list 91 as midgrade if they offer 93.

Except the uninformed idiots out there STILL call them Dodge Ram’s almost 15 years later. I’m correcting people all the time.
