In sport mode on highway stays in 7th gear till about 80 or 3000 rpms then shifts to 8th. Sport mode is fun but not for highway. Truck is fast but i must say i don't like turbo cars first one i owned. There is something about the hemi in light to light driving is better or stop and gp traffic thru neighbors.The truck is so slow until 3000 rpm to 5500. I don't like how hard to have to push it for light traffic i would love to know hp number when turbos aren't kicking in. I want 0 70 fast not 40 to 100 cause passing gear on highway truck is a rocket ship.The rebel 392 rear kick the little turbos to early they already kick early cause how tiny they are there is a turbo surge shutter what ever you wanna call it unless you are shifting above 3000 rpms wish i had 321 gears.2026 hemi here i come can't wait.
See, and I can’t see any reason to rocket from a standstill, like a light. It’s worse on gas mpg and (around here) most of the streets with lights are like 40mph or less. Additionally, I never got to my destination any real amount faster by racing from light to light

It’s a truck, not a sports car. I’m good with that.
I agree i don't drive fast the truck is a dog in normal driving. Have about 900 pound in my bed plus 392 rear and big tires my over all mpg is 14,7 since new on trip b never touched. Trip a is oil changes on 2000 miles so far i am 14.4. I am just posting this cause i don't drive fast i have sport cars for that. I was just venting. First 6 cylinder i ever owned just not use to the higher rpm shifting needed to stay with traffic.See, and I can’t see any reason to rocket from a standstill, like a light.

You must not have the HO engine -- it's quite different. It's much smoother in city than my hemi was. It you hit the gas hard in the hemi, it would sit there and wait a second and then downshift -- not smooth at all.
the sst is way faster from 0 to 60 than the hemi. theres tons of videos on youtube with the sst turbo running 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds . my hemi was never that fast, no matter how you look at it the sst turbo blows the hemi out of the water allday everyday! stock to stock that is! as it should by the way its a turbo so it should out do the hemi ! and im not sure what you mean in light traffic? i never have to push my truck its always pulling me lol, only thuing i hate is the governor kicks in at 104, cant wait till all the mods hit for this truck, theres a tune for this truck already that adds 100 hp to the turbos, im not ready to mess with that yet.
The truck is way faster for sure compared to the hemi quite smother all the way. Just don't like turbo engines how they deliver the power.
You don’t like cell phones either
I use to hate turbos. And still do in some cars with small motors. Historically, turbos would have a lot of lag and the motor would have no power at all at lower rpm's. But many cars and trucks today you can't even notice the turbos. For me, the i6tt in my Laramie just feels like a big motor. Same can be said for my BMW x7 which also has an 3.0L i6tt.
I might be late on this but I experienced a similar issue and had the radio replaced under warranty. This resolved the issue.UGH!! SO frustrating!!! The last update I got, the screen would freeze and a loud buzzing noise about 1 out of every 10 times I started the truck. I saw the update today and was super excited to get this installed figuring it would take care of this issue.
Now, EVERY FM and AM station doesn't work!!! Every time you click on a pre set FM or AM station it just goes into scan mode.
I called Ram Customer Care and explained all the issues I have with my new 2025 Limited Laramie that has a little over 5000 miles and received a case reference number. It was taken to one of their approved dealers to fix the problems. It is now 3 weeks and I finally got a customer rep from Stellantis after several not nice conversations with the dealer and RAM Care. I told them what was needed to fix a lot of the problems after reading everyone's posts about similar problems. Will hopefully get everything fixed soon since I am having to rent a car at $400.00 per week from the start because the dealership doesn't have loaners. RAM Care rep said they will reimburse me for the car rental. At this point, I just want my new pickup back.
A "Limited Laramie"?
hahahaha
That's why its a lemon.
Yes new ones have a lot of problems and its sad cause they cost more now. Seems to be when they just can't replace a part and fix it the problems begin. So i am praying 2026 hemi no mds no e torque .2021 was the last good year
People state facts here, sometimes, the truth is hard to swallow.
