So I looked at the RAM website to see if they have begun building more HO equipped trucks, but it still remains at 5. So I did another search for trucks optioned with the 14.4" screen and there are 0 in production/transit/etc. All the trucks that are currently getting built are either the 8" or 12" Uconnect screen.

The hurricane is a tiny motor with a turbo that is wringing it to within an inch of its life every time it runs. It's a light duty passenger car engine.

Sorry…you’ll need to “show your work” to receive credit for this answer. Otherwise, it’s an unsubstantiated claim that fails to demonstrate any engineering knowledge of the engine’s design. One could even label this as trolling…

I was wondering about that. of the limited trucks being built none have level 1 which is where the 14 inch screen comes into play. seems they would have some of these on hand it's not like the option wasn't planned for from the very start.

They may be starting simple in order to hit the market as close to their Q1 goal as possible. Once the market is somewhat full, I can't imagine they won't increase trim levels, paint colors, etc.

I have some running data and charts. I'll post in a couple weeks.

Sorry ... not my job to save you from yourselves, I've said enough on this as I already mentioned several times. I'll just be back to say "told you so" once the reports come rolling in

You're making the claim, support it. Or it's just ignorant opinion

I went and test drove a 2025 Laramie. I did not like the interior at all but I am used to the Limited trim level. I was mainly interested in seeing how the engine drove. It was very quiet and the drive felt the best of any of the 6 turbos I have driven by car. The auto start stop I barely noticed. I know it only has the SO engine but it did seem really quick compared to my V8. The city road driving was little bit clunky but it was brand new so it probably needs some break in time. There was a bunch of traffic so I wasn’t able to test the turbos as much as I would like but spots where I could rev it up it did well. The Laramie I drove was I think around 71k. No running boards, no automatic tailgate, ram boxes, but it did have the night edition. All around it made me more excited for the HO engines to come out to see how they feel on the road.

The dealer also mentioned that they had a White, Limited, with the Level 1 group on order in “C” status which was odd since it wasn’t on the Ram website so I wonder if there are more Limiteds/Tungstens on order then the website actually reports which wouldn’t surprise me since their websites are mostly terrible.

Seems like things are moving along.

Not sure what C status is, but I do know that you could order Tungstens as of a couple months ago at least.

You cannot order certain colors though - that's the only limitation I'm aware of.

Maybe C status is on order but not started yet? That would make sense why the white limited wouldn't be on the website yet.

 

[PetePA]

Nevermind, I figured out... It's Confirmed status. Next week I'll share color and trim data. In summary, the proportions for the various trims and colors they're manufacturing have remained unchanged for at least a week.

Keep in mind that the power you felt was likely reduced by the PCM if the truck wasn't at 500 miles given they limit power on all the other boosted engines. Probably would have felt even better had it been past the break-in limits

What do you mean it felt clunky? Transmission shifting, odd throttle response, or something else.

I haven't read the 2025 owner manual, so I'm not sure about any PCM limitations. I have heard about some cars having it, but most of the time it's not true. The TRX launch control will not work in the first 500 miles. Other than that, it makes full power from the second it leaves SHAP.

I thought with the Hurricane that were doing away with the stop/start BS.

nice write up, it makes me feel a little better as well. (I thought C status was just order confirmation?)

 

[lonepeak]

C is "sub firm", the first of Scheduled Order Codes; D is "firm schedule - dealer has allocation and all parts available"

they may have changed how the system works but it's still there. it's a government mandate to be in them, or so I am told. personally hate the system and will disable it as soon as a module is built by auto stop eliminator.

There were a few stop/starts that I felt some lag. It wasn't bad and only happened once or twice. I wouldn't consider it an on going issue. I sort of do rolling starts where I just let the pedal off and let it roll forward and I think since the auto stop start was on (I don't have it on my truck), it sort of felt clunky at first and then I hit the gas and it picked up. Probably more of my driving style that caused it. All in all it felt 100x better than the Tundra (I-Force Max....whatever), and the hybrid Ford Engine is that I drove.

That would make sense why it wasn't on the website if it wasn't in the process of being built.

 

[Bsteiner36]

One other thing I noticed is that almost every dealer I have called and asked them if they had any 2025s. All the sales reps told me "No", and then I told them well your website says its on the dealer lot. Then they would go double check and find out that they did have it available. I never worked at a car dealership so I have no idea how they work but it seemed odd to me that they would get in new trucks for the new model year and the sales people wouldn't even know they arrived. Some had arrived 3-4 days prior to me calling so it wasn't like they arrived that day.
