    4x4 with no tow hooks?

    I think you meant amber to match her gold tennis bracelet she will get for letting you buy a truck these days? tennis bracelet is rounding error option on a full size truck these days.

    4x4 with no tow hooks?

    Mine has chrome tow hooks. Totally dumb. If I ever used them they would likely get scratched. Luckily I’m one of the ones who got off road package for driving on wet grass and 4x4 for the 2 days a year it snows here. My driveway is 14 degree incline according to gauges and it will climb it with...

    String wind blew door open and now it scrapes the front when opening or closing

    ^^^ look on the hinge for evidence of it moving too, maybe you can see a nice shiny scrape to give you a hint on where it used to be.

    Can You Pump Up Your Brake Pedal?

    That is air, it should not feel stronger in the second press. I have a 5.7 but I have borrowed a buddies 6.4 2500 before and driven a few of them. That doesn’t sound normal.

    What's different about the Gen 5 versus the 4. Any complaints with the Etorque or truck in general??

    You can’t turn off eTorque. It’s integral to the truck operation. Belt driven off the crank I think. And why would you want to lug around a big battery and heavy motor with it doing nothing? The button turns off start-stop of the truck at stop lights, not eTorque. Auto stop start uses eTorque...

    Winch power

    Also beware modern truck very sensitive to battery voltage. If you are winching long I’d let the truck run while operating the winch just in case. The computer will decide if the voltage is sufficient to start the truck, not you.

    What's different about the Gen 5 versus the 4. Any complaints with the Etorque or truck in general??

    Many you tube reviews and discussions here on v4 vs 5. eTorque, in my opinion, is not worth the complexity but millions of trucks operating reliably with it. Factory brake controller integrates aesthetically with the controls and indicates on the digital gauge cluster. Functionally it’s...

    Wondering

    While we’re at it, I am used to driving BMW’s. There’s this stick looking thing on the left side of the steering wheel, it controls the wipers but it also goes up and down and I can’t seem to figure out what that is. the manual says turn signal, but the GPS signals me which way to turn on the...

    New truck prices are insane

    My tractor cost more than my first new car, no title. Amazing the state doesn’t want to tax it.

    Is this something we should be doing preventative maintenance on? Mine swings ok at the moment

    2022 Ram 1500 apple car play??

    I have noticed if I remote start and the phone isn’t in blue tooth range it gives issues. If I am in the truck and start it, mine works very reliably. Sometimes it will connect and work after remote start and I get in. I’d say that’s 50-50 though.

    Electric Parking Brake Release

    I’ve noticed the same thing on my ‘22 but wasn’t able to connect it with the seat belt until the suggestion. I’m going to pay attention. What I do like is the remote start works if the parking brake isn’t set. My ‘17 liked to not start with parking on the slope of my driveway if the parking...

    4-Corner Air Suspension

    My wife and son both have, from time to time, gotten some motion sickness. Neither are real bad with it so maybe not a direct comparison for you. We drove a 900 mile one way road trip and my son played ipad a bunch in the back seat of my air ride off road group 6’4” bed 1500. Zero motion...

    FYI on Stellantis’ new data mining and sale company, Mobilisights, and opt out information

    This is crap but I gotta say, they have nothing on Facebook, cell phone carriers, google, TV manufacturers, etc. thanks for making me go outside in the 25 degree weather to get my VIN in my bathrobe. Appreciate that.
