    Slowest-selling vehicle in America is the Dodge Ram 2500 truck

    I haven't had a truck for almost 2 years - I swapped my 1500 Limited for a Grand Wagoneer, a vehicle that has to rank up as one of the worse POS's that anyone ever foisted on the car buying public. But I digress... When I was shopping - so for a 22 - the Ram 2500 had the singular (among 2500...

    Terrible, Horrible luck TT wise. My fault though...anything I can do?

    You all know that Ram recommends a WDH for any tongue weight over 500 on everything all the way up to a 2500, right? It must be a Stellantis thing - my GW has the same problem. I mean I've towed more than that in the 1500 and the GW without issue, but still it's putting me right off buying a...

    Effect of tires on gas mileage

    To answer a couple of the questions. Of course same size. Tire pressure is correct. Don’t really care about the mileage. Was surprised a set of tires could make >10% difference on mileage. It’s hilly where I live, so I’m getting 12s around town vs the 14s I was on the other set. That’s down in...

    Effect of tires on gas mileage

    So right at 20k those awful stock Goodyear 22s gave up the ghost. I swapped them for a set of Firestone AT/2s - I wanted something that could handle more than an inch of snow and these are rated to do so. What I didn’t consider was the effect on gas mileage. I‘ve done 5k on them and it’s...

    2022 and mirrors

    My 2019 didn’t come with the option to get trailer mirrors and surround view. I have clip ons that work ok, but I’d prefer something that’s built in. I’d be willing to buy a 2022 if I could get a trailer brake controller, the reversing button and decent mirrors with the surround camera view...

    Brake controller installation

    Towed with a Tekonsha prodigy. My limited came off the lot without a brake controller, but none of the vehicles I used for my trailer have one. It’s plug and play so I’m quite happy with it. If you only have one trailer but multiple tow vehicles its another option.

    Poor gas mileage and handling

    Just went from KY to NY through WV - hilly. 20‘ haulmark with a light car inside, so about 6k All up. 2019 limited. Same deal. Sub-8 mpg and it tows awful. Hated going over 65 and got awful sway when trucks passed me. My VW did the same tow easier, faster and with over 10mpg average. The only...

    Nav on 2019 Limited - typing

    Does it ever find an address when you type one in? It always says searching offline - whatever that means - and then fails miserably no matter what you type. Voice recognition is patchy, but usually can be made to work, but typing never does. I've had the thing since new and it’s always been...

    Is this thing speed governed?

    Ran out of steam at 104 indicated. Didn’t feel like it was power, felt like it’s governed. Felt just like one of those crappy rentals from the 90s that used to be governed to 85. Can it be turned off easily?

    2019 worse mpg than 2012?

    Slightly better than mine. I'm getting about 14 all round and 18 hwy with a LTD. Not what I expected given the quoted #s. Hell my Discovery got better. So did the Tundra for that matter.

    XM setting lost

    19 LTD - the damn thing constantly loses the XM setting I'm on and goes back to channel 1. Anyone else have this? The electronics on this vehicle are starting to make the Audi look reliable.

    Car play

    You don’t understand my question because your experience differs. When I plug in the phone to charge, it switches to CarPlay. CarPlay is turned off in the phone. But that only turns off Bluetooth - it still switches when one attaches a cable. Since Ram in their infinite wisdom don’t support...

    Car play

    Doesn’t work when hard wired. Only Bluetooth.

    Rear seats

    Well don’t I feel like a dummy. Forgot they recline. In my defense I never sit there though.

    12V lighter outlet

    I have a couple of devices that use a 12v lighter socket. I don't see one in my limited. Did I miss it or am I reduced to buying a transformer and plugging into the 110V outlet in the storage bin?
