How Electric Ram Trucks Will Go Up To 690 Miles, Some of Them Towing 14,000 Pounds!
All the post here wondering how the New Ram Charger 1500 will get up to 690 miles must not have read or understood the information on this truck. It is not an EV like the junkie Ford Lighting it is a gas electric truck with the Pentastar V6 mounted under the hood which will be there to do...- DA Smith

You are welcome, I'm always happy to let people know what is happening in the real world instead of getting their news from just a few people on a forum. Also you brought up the 3.6 in your post about needing huge and numerous warehouses to hold all of the junk 3.6 parts.- DA Smith

Well this is one of the lower milege cam failures
You read too many forums, the real world truth is Ram has no more issues than Ford GM Toyota or Nissan. I've had 6 1500 Rams since 2009 and put over 100-k on every one with nothing more than oil changes and normal maintenance and usually three sets of tires before training in. I've had two...- DA Smith

First Ram!:) 3.0 inline 6
I bought a 2019 crew cab laramie 4x4 with sport and off road package 5.7 and 392 gears in 2019. I now have 71,000 with zero issues since new and have put over half of those miles pulling a Travel Trailer all over the country. It is great for pulling a load with the 392 gears and I'm happy...- DA Smith

First Ram!:) 3.0 inline 6
One thing about the high out put turbo six is it requires premium fuel which in many cases cost one or two dollars a gallon more. I would be happy with the SSO engine that will run on regular fuel and still give 410 HP and 469 torque which is quite a bit more than my 5.7 Hemi will produce.- DA Smith

Passenger side front sway bar U plate snapped
I don't think I've ever seen any brackets like those that are supposed to hold anything that will have stress on them. They look like they are made from radiator hose clamp material not what I would expect to do what they will be doing. If the new ones you have ordered for this look like those...- DA Smith

A good thing someone happened by with a real truck
I saw one of these things a couple of days ago going down the highway in the opposite direction. There's been some ugly vehicles made in the past by different manufacturers but this UGLY thing is the top dog king of the hill UGLY. This old saying comes to mind when you look at this thing it...- DA Smith

Not recognizing tow vehicle
Wanting to record trailer mileage is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I've been pulling all kinds of trailers for 55 years. I've owned five bumper pull travel trailers and a 35 foot fifth wheel since 1980 and have pulled all over the U.S . I service the brakes and bearings on trailers using...- DA Smith

$70k Truck Falling Apart at 38k Miles
Man that's the kind of dealership I would love to go to. I could spend all the time I wanted looking and getting in vehicles to get the feel of them until I found one that flips my switch then ask for a salesman, it's always irritating to me when going to look at a new vehicle you pull up and...- DA Smith

2023 ram 5.7 hemi oil life monitor
Here's how I change my oil I change it and filter every 4-k miles. I know that the new synthetic is supposed to go way many more miles than that but honestly I don't care. I like it changed at 4-k and I know for sure it's not hurting anything and my Hemi Loves it. Those that will say I'm wasting...- DA Smith

Dang automatic brake
Well that's interesting, I've got 70,000 on my 2020 Ram 4x4 5.7 Hemi and have never once had an issue with the automatic park brake witch I really do like. In fact I've had zero issues with anything on the truck. One, thing I don't understand is people opening the doorto back up. I've got...- DA Smith

'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...- DA Smith

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...- DA Smith

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.- DA Smith

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.- DA Smith

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...- DA Smith

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!- DA Smith

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.- DA Smith

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...- DA Smith
