New Guy From Ohio

[User_34235]

Greetings all. Been lurking in the forums for quite some time now with the intention of getting a newer RAM. Well that happened last night and I picked up a new 2021 Bighorn here in Dayton Ohio. Look forward to driving it and being back in a truck. Got the Etorque engine and look forward to seeing how it drives/operates.

Welcome, glad you are part of the forum.

You can tell us how your mpgs are doing (always interest in that) and what you think of the ETorque system.

Post your payload too (yellow sticker on drivers door hinge) which is also interesting to see how they vary.

Oh then your a 5th gen vet as far as the mpg's goes! Winter fuel doesnt do much for mileage.
Your 4x should get some more “exercise” this next week if the forecasters are to be believed...

Showing my ignorance, is ORG available w/o 4x? Did you choose elock or anti spin (or is that dictated as well)?

Welcome new guy from Ohio, from a fellow central Ohioan. Your avatar caught my attention because my wife graduated from Texas, and she has a longhorn emblem on her Explorer. Good color choice

ORG comes standard with 4x4 and elock .

Welcome!! I'm from Texas and all my kids go to UT Austin....have to ask about the Horns in your avatar. Are you a UT fan??

Thanks all for the warm welcome. I am retired Air Force and my last active duty assignment took me here to Ohio. Native Texan born and raised till I joined the AF and still love watching the Longhorns play.
Cant wait to get out there and see what the truck can do but currently snowed in right now and with less than 100 miles on the truck really dont want to test the 4X4 system just yet with as nasty as it is outside......plus people around here cant drive in the snow......lol

Please report how it worked in 4x. Does it have 4A?
My son attended A&M so I guess we will just “agree to disagree”, ha ha... But I lived in Austin as well...

Welcome and good looking truck.

I'm in Dayton too...maybe I'll see you driving around!
