I agree, I love the way my Limited drives and its surprisingly quicker than what I thought it would be. I tried out the hands free driving and was really impressed with it...I was cruising down the highway in self drive mode getting a massage at the same time. that's why I'm so mad it keeps having to go back to the dealer!
Yeah I would say upgraded screen and passenger screen are gimmicks in my opinion. They got rid of physical buttons and replaced them with the screen for the 14 in screen, literally can’t use that screen space for anything else. As far as the passenger screen I don’t see myself or anyone else actually using it would have much preferred a top and bottom glove box.
Thanks for that info. I'm not sure why it needs to run that high at start up, especially when it's not even cold out, but I would definitely prefer a less revved start up.
Well I have seen discussion of issues with check engine lights maybe being associated with a misfire at startup. So until that happens to me, I won't worry about it, but I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case, that maybe it's related to the way the engine is programmed to run at start up and rev high. The only other thing about the high rpm startup is it's not really acoustically pleasing. As a comparison, my wife's X7 with BMW's inline 3.0 twin turbo sounds decent at startup compared to my Ram.
Largely depends on ambient temps. If it's cooler it will run at a slightly higher RPM longer than it would if it's warm out. Every vehicle tries to warm up to a certain operating temperature right away on start.
I do think the usable space of the actual interface is a little bit more. Plus the screen is moved up which is nice.
that seems absolutely normal, why are people making a big deal out of that initial idle?
Seems a little high to me, but if others say it's normal for the 2025's, I feel a little more comfortable about it. Just doesn't sound great or sound like the smoothest idle either. Sounds like the computer is making adjustments at times until the idle starts to come down. I have 5 cars between my wife and I, and never question any of the other cars start up. Just this truck, the start up wasn't what I was expecting and probably could be better. Other than that, I don't miss my hemi like I thought I would. The hurricane motor makes you forget about the hemi and seems like a great motor. Feels like it's twice the size it actually is once you are actually behind the wheel.
Interesting, all my vehicles seem to get near 1500rpms or higher on initial start.
yep pretty much...
I saw that as well...I was wondering if that came with the trailer tow mirrors? He never shows the actual truck and the truck isn't available on their site anymore to look at the window sticker.
Good point that the mirrors weren’t shown. Maybe those options come with the trailer tow mirror option.
