What kind of mileage are you getting with a Hemi and 3.92 gears?
I have the full tow package on my 2019 RAM including the 3.92 gear ratio. When I pull my 5500 lb Lance trailer I consistently get overall 11.0 mpg on average considering level, uphill and downhills.- Lance1985

Spare Tire Question
This generation business is very confusing. After spending more time than I should have, my conclusion is that it is a 5th generation because of the R18 tires and 6 lug wheels. Those of us of Italian ancestry understand the confusion since RAM is owned by Fiat.- Lance1985

Spare Tire Question
You mentioned above "upgrade that spare to a real full-sized tire" It sure looks like it's as large as the regular tires. (275/65 R18) I am in Phoenix and it's hot in the garage and I am too lazy to take it down and check what you propose. I will wait until I get to the tire dealer and let...- Lance1985

Towing Camping Trailer
I pull a Lance travel trailer which is known as a lightweight trailer. It is 24 ft from tip of the tongue to rear bumper. I think what you have missing is the 3.91 axle option. The difference in torque and acceleration is noticeable between that and your 3.21.- Lance1985

Spare Tire Question
OK, I did as you suggested. I crawled under my truck and low and behold there is a spare tire with the following words in large caps "TEMPORARY USE ONLY" and with minimal tread amount and depth, Now my question is; When I replace the four tires should I have them replace the "Temporary Spare"...- Lance1985

Spare Tire Question
I assume "rear mounted" means that it is exposed outside of the vehicle and therefore exposed to direct sunlight with damaging ultraviolet radiation. That is a different situation than one mounted under the frame.- Lance1985

Spare Tire Question
Thinking about new tires on my 2019 RAM 1500 and am happy with ride and performance on the original tires and plan to get identical replacements. I have never had a flat and assume the spare is identical with the original four tires. Since the spare is underneath the frame and never receives...- Lance1985

RV Towing Newbie
When backing the trailer I have found it handy to put my hand on the bottom of the steering wheel and turn it in the direction you want the trailer to go. Don't overdo it though. Smaller turns of the wheel are better.- Lance1985

Dealer forced oil change packages
This is why you should demand to review the completed Purchase Contract before sitting down with the Finance Closer. Since this is a Legal Document, they have no justification for not allowing you that opportunity. When I did my review, I saw that Oil Service and Inspection add on, but it also...- Lance1985
