I traded my Chevy Colorado in for a 2021 Laramie. What a difference, right?!

Welcome aboard. Nice truck.

It’s a huge difference from my Colorado. Night and day!

my biggest concern with this truck it the fuel mileage. Almost went with the Pentastar 3.6 etorque this. However, after test driving, the v6 mpg was only 1 or 2 better than the hemi.

anything I can do to maximize MPG besides driving like a grandpa?

thanks

Stay out of the NYC metro area.

Sure will. I’m still trying to figure out the passive entry. It doesn’t seem to be working. The one where you grab the handle with the key in your pocket and it unlocks. Any ideas?

I believe you have keyless entry in the Big Horn (meaning you use the remote to open the door - no key). Passive entry (just touch the handle) is on the higher trim levels. HOWEVER it can be added. There is a long thread on the forum on how to change the harness and software.

Adding passive entry

Hi, I am a longtime lurker and very thankful for all the research and efforts to resolve this problem. I was hoping that someone could verify the PNs needed for a 2019 RAM 2500 Bighorn in Bright White? I think I have pulled the correct PNs as it appears the HDs have a singular handle assembly...

Welcome and Congratulations!

 

[theblet]

I see. That’s disappointing

 

[TheMadDutchDude]

Don’t drive it like a grandpa. Enjoy the HEMI. It’s made to take a beating. I found that enjoying the drive gives me about 2 MPG less if I drive it the way I want vs. babying it. Just live a little and enjoy the new truck!

 

[theblet]

I will enjoy it! I plan on doing a 2 inch front leveling kit. Haven’t searched the forum yet, but hopefully there’s a cheap and easy one out there I can do myself
