Hello everyone!
I just recently got my Ram Crew cab
4x4 with 3.92
My town is really bias on Chevy and GMC, since I got the truck many trucks have tried to race me.
I want to know what settings should I tweak with for a quick 0-60 0-80 run
Manuel shifting?
Tow haul mode?
Traction control off?
Just floor it?

I know I can take these little Ls motors with crap gears on. I just want to make sure I win.

Drive to the nearest Dodge dealer and trade the RAM for a Charger or Challenger. It’s a truck, not a drag car.
But if you insist, exhaust (I recommend Borla), intake, and a HemiFever tune. That’s about all you can do, and you’d likely still get smoked by an Ecoboost

As far a stock goes just slam the gas to the floor?

Is this thread for real? I hope you're planning on playing this out on the race track and not the street. If someone pulls up next to me on the street and is obvious about challenging me, I just smile and wave as he takes off. Once when that happened the other driver got pulled over by an off-duty state trooper. It's totally worth it. Don't take their bait. If you're planning to take them on at the track then disregard what I said previously LOL.

Traded in my 2018 ecoboost for a 2019 limited and I can tell you even with 22” wheels and 35” tires my ecoboost was faster than my stock limited...

Do you miss your Platinum? I think the F150's look so much better on the outside but the interior is too outdated compared to the Ram's.

I came from a lifetime of GM ownership. I ran a diablosport custom tuned 2012 Sierra and 2015 Sierra. My 19 Ram 5.7 will walk all over these past two trucks. Like stated above, mash the gas and go.

Just like that? No turning on tow haul no turning off traction no Manuel shifting?

I loved my platinum. I flat tow behind a motorhome and had an electrical issue with the neutral mode and it welded the transmission together while towing. They warrantied it ($11k repair) but didn’t know if it would happen again. The ram uses a mechanical neutral so I switched...
