    '25 Tungsten at the Minneapolis car show... didn't love it

    In my opinion Stellantis didn't have much of a presence because they don't have any vehicles. Ram and Jeep is about all they have left and neither one is spectacular now with mainly six bangers that are new and so far unproven. Chrysler barely exists and dodge is very weak on vehicles. I...

    Oh they killed the ram box.

    Where you been hiding, the Hemi is already dead the last run is in the 2024 Rams. The 2025 will have the in line Hurricane six twin turbo 420 hp engine.

    Mix the mid grade yourself and save?

    I don't waste money on mid grade fuel. I use 87 octain in my 2020 Ram 1500 5.7 with no issue. I tested runing 89 compared to 87 with very little or no difference in fuel economy or power. I expected to feel a difference with the higher octain but it wasn't enough to distinguish between them...

    What do you call a completely dead 2020 with 18k?

    Is your 2020 out of warranty?

    4x4 with no tow hooks?

    Not all 4x4 Rams come with tow hooks they are an option on all but the certain Rams that come stock with them this would be the Rebel or a truck like my 4x4 Laramie with the off road package.

    What kind of mileage are you getting with a Hemi and 3.92 gears?

    My 2019 5th gen Laramie 4x4 3.92 gears gets 11 to 13 mpg around town and averages 17 to 18 on highway where I drive at 74 to 76 mph. I did manage 19 once when I stayed at 65 mph on the highway.

    Top speed

    My 2005 SRT 10 Commemorative Edition single Cab with the six speed Trimec would hit almost right at 160 . It was totally stock with no power upgrades. Factory gears were 456 with Factory 22 in wheels. The faster you went the better it drove, all the Viper SRT running gear with the rear wing...

    Cybertruck 1 Ram 0

    Only thing I can say about the cyber truck is its the ugliest vehicle of any kind I have ever seen! I don't care if it has the greatest or the worst crash rating of any vehicle and they are giving them away I wouldn't have one of them because there so ugly and are a worthless EV!

    Brake Hold / Auto Brake Feature

    Been driving since I was 14 and I am now 72 never before have I ever known or heard of anyone using the parking brake when stopping at a red light or stop sign. This is a complete new concept, must put a lot of ware on the parking brake with all that stop and go around town.

    3:21 rear vs 3:92 gas mileage?

    My 2019 fifth gen Laramie 4x4 with 3.92 gears gets between 12 to 14 in town depending on how I drive it. On the highway the best I have ever got is 19 but I wanted the 3.92 for towing my 34 foot TT. When towing a load the 3.92 does definitely make a difference over the 3.21 on take off and on...

    Brake Hold / Auto Brake Feature

    Your 2019 Ram has hill start assist, when you stop at a light or any other reason on an incline once stopped you can remove your foot from the brake pedal and the truck will not roll backwards to move forward again all you do is press down on the accelerator and go. This is nothing new my 2019...

    Why Is My Remote Start Not Activating Heated Seats/ Steering Wheel?

    I live in East Texas and mine will not automatically come on unless the temp is 40 degrees or lower, it was the same on my 2015 Ram Laramie and the one I have now is 2019 fifth gen Ram.
