Only had my Limited for a week but loving the H.O.!

Sold my 2022 3.0 ED Longhorn Limited for the 2025 3.0 HO Longhorn Limited. I'm loving it. Power is remarkable. Not quite Telsa acceleration but feels pretty close if you lead foot it. No where near the MPG on the ED, but I don't care.

I'm loving my 2025 SST HO Limited Longhorn. Less than 1,000 miles on it so far, but I had the dealership change the oil at 750 miles. Recommend all of you do the same between 500-1,000 miles (break in). As a car racing guy who has broken in several motors I recommend you get any chavings or contamination out of the oil as soon as possible after the initial break in period (break in typical after 500 miles but not over 1,000).

Doing this will drastically improve the longevity of the motor Check out "The Motor Oil Geek" on YouTube he breaks it down using science. He changed his daughter's new car's oil at 500 miles and then sent a sample of that oil to get tested. He shows the benefit based on the science of the used oil.

Does anybody know what battery they use in the 2025 Limited? is it the H7 size like 2024s? I like to change out the crappy Ram batteries to a yellow top or Oddyssy one when it comes in... cant seem to find info online about the size..

What speed does your truck shift into 8th gear? Mine won’t shift into 8th until between 62 and 64 mph which seems high to me. Just curious if other are the same or if my shift points are whack. It’s smooth shifting though.

It’s all dependent on incline, cargo, etc it’s always changing

Thanks, it’s kinda baffling. I putter along in the morning to work about 55 because of deer and it don’t leave 7th gear at all. On the way home I can only get it to go to 8th above 62 and 64 seems to be a constant for it. Conveniently that’s when it goes into eco mode and aero also.

Interesting. The OEM battery in my 2012 RAM lasted for eight years and two weeks. I’ve never had a battery last so long.

I wasn't sure if I was going to really notice the differences between this 2025 and my 2024 but man this truck is nice! Came out of a 2024 1500 Limited elite and I like this interior more! And the HO engine is super smooth, I dont miss the HEMI at all.
