    How to turn off MDS(cylinder deactivation) for free

    I don't really have an opinion on MDS... whether to use or deactivate. I have a 2021 Ram 1500 Longhorn w/ 5.7 L eTourque. There is a button that allows me to disable the MDS as soon as I start the truck. Of course, when I turn the truck off, it switches back to the default "MDS On." This is...

    Decision to make ASAP, 22” or 20” rims

    I purchased a 2021 1500 Longhorn Limited in December 2021. It came w/ 22" wheels and Goodyear Eagle touring tires. I like the look of the 22" tire and how it fills in the wheel wells. However, after the first winter, I made the decision to replace the tires before the following winter. The...

    Holy crap is my new truck thirsty as hell!

    Bought a 2021 Longhorn Limited 5.7L eTourque 3.21rear in December 2021. I live in the northeast. I do not tow. I barely pulled 13 mpg until the weather warmed up in the spring. This concerned me quite a bit. I'm sure it was due to break-in, winter blend fuel and weather (temperature). When...

    Consumer Reports Predicted Reliability for '22 Ram 1500 Classic

    Many years ago I used to swear by consumer reports. After following their recommendations a couple of times, and getting burned, I realized their ratings are not typically based on "best" product. Their reviews seem to be based on BEST VALUE... balance between price and features (not...

    Advice for Replacement Tires for 5th Gen Ram 1500

    I see a lot of recommendations for Michelin LTX. What load index on the Michelin LTX being recommended? I have a 2021 Ram w/22" wheels. The load index on the original tires is 114. All I can find is tires with a 110 load index. I have been told I should not got down to a 110 to a 114. Thoughts...

    I'm not a millennial.

    I traded in a 2014 Silverado LTZ for a 2021 Ram Longhorn Limited in Dec 2020... has the rotary gear selector knob and push button start. It took me no time to adapt to the rotary shift and push button start. It may have been so quick because my wife drives a 2013 Lexus with a push start, and...

    Advice for Replacement Tires for 5th Gen Ram 1500

    Hey PolarisCobra, did you experience a significant MPG drop with the Cooper AT3's? I realize a more aggressive tread will likely impact MPG. And I'm willing to make a small concession there for better winter performance. I tried Cooper A/T tires years ago on an '04 Silverado. Not an off...

    Advice for Replacement Tires for 5th Gen Ram 1500

    Hi all, new to the forum and looking for advice on replacement tires in my 2021 Ram Longhorn Limited. Stock tires are Goodyear Eagle touring tires, 285/45/22. I went through one winter with these tires and vowed to replace them before the next winter. They are probably great tires for warmer...

    2021 Longhorn Limited Back-up Camera Stopped Working

    I purchased a 2021 Ram 1500 Longhorn Limited in December 2020. It has the 12 screen. Have had the truck for 5 months and just turned 2100 miles (... I don't do a lot of driving). Today, the back up camera stopped working. It was working fine earlier today. I get a dark (blank) screen...

    What is the Best bang for the buck on tires. 275/60/20

    I get that. Again, touring tires may give the best gas mileage, but there are other options that have better tread (and therefore, better traction in hazardous conditions) and have a minimal affect on gas mileage. Case in point (granted this is anecdotal), before buying the Ram, I owned a...

    Dealer Treatment

    I'm surprised to hear that another dealer wouldn't welcome the opportunity to do warranty/service work on your vehicle. I always heard that the money isn't in the sale of the vehicle, it's in the service/maintenance work. This was intimated to me by the dealership where I bought my 2021 Ram...

    Hitch Danger

    Backing in is not about being "cool"... its about safety. As a result of accident data, many major corps that have fleet vehicles require their drivers to back in upon arrival. You have better visibility/awareness of conditions upon arrival, and better visibility when pulling out. Having...
