    2025 Ram 1500 First Drive: No More Hemi

    Yup same mileage, until you want to tow something then I will bet the mileage with the 6 will be far under the V8 just like you see in the 6 cylinder Ford. Why replace a proven engine with something that costs more to make (and sell), produces about the same horsepower, and is fine for cruising...

    I can take the heat...Give it to me straight

    When I started driving, 100,000 was a very good run for a number of reasons. First oil was nowhere near as good as today, secondly, engine manufacturing was nowhere near where it is today, third due to gearing, those engines ran much higher rpm at a given speed than today, and finally car...

    Why are manufacturers still putting chrome on trucks?

    I'm an older guy and grew up with chrome. I like it. My first new car was a 1971 GTO with the then new endura color keyed front bumper and I loved it until the first time I jacked the front end up and the paint cracked. I still have that car and have had that bumper painted probably 8 to 10...

    How many miles does a new vehicle you order typically have?

    Now this isn't a Ram but it might give a decent idea. I special ordered a Firehawk in 1999 and as they are made in Canada, and I am a licensed Customs broker with a few contacts, I was able to track it from order through manufacture, to its transfer to SLP (who converts the Firebird into a...
