    My gas mileage is gone, what happened?

    I'm gonna go with Space Aliens. Yeah, that's the ticket. If you want a serious answer though, you need to provide more details, it is anyone's guess without knowing the details of ANYTHING about the picture you posted. Did you recently change tires? Gas stations? Tow something heavy? Too...

    Highest towing capacity for the 5.7

    I actually did just this. I had the Class IV hitch but didn't have the OEM BC. I added it myself and had the dealership code it in which enabled all the functionality in the screen (the unit worked but I really wanted all the display stuff too). So, to answer your question, yes, it can...

    Brake Hold / Auto Brake Feature

    My Mercedes had that. At a stop you just press the brake extra hard and it holds the brakes until you press the brake pedal again or the gas. I thought it was dumb at first but I found myself using it more and more until it became second-nature. That said, my Ram obviously doesn't have it but...

    New truck prices are insane

    I wrote about this late last year in another post. There was a massive jump in pricing that happened some time after 2021. I got a 1500 Bighorn 5.7 in December 2021. The base price on it (without options) was $39k. Fast forward to the 2023 models (might have been in 2022, not sure) and the...

    2023 Ram 1500 4x4 Big Horn Etorque

    I am pretty sure it's normal. I get it on my 2021 as well (though mine is 2WD). The best way I've found to mitigate it is, after coming off the brake and the engine re-engages, to give it 1-2 seconds before I roll into the gas pedal.

    Dual Alternators

    Thanks crash, I always wondered about that as well.

    Looking at a 2023 1500 Lone Star

    Agreed. That's a really good deal. Do it. Don't think about it, just do it, that's 25% off MSRP and it equipped very well. Don't worry about the eTorque, on forums you generally only hear from people that have problems. For each complaint there are probably 1000 satisfied users of said system.

    OEM brake controller advise

    Bought off eBay from Steve White Motors for pretty cheap (I forget the price but it was around $190, I think). Installed myself and had the dealer program for $100. Totally simple install.

    3500 mpg

    Um. No. If the MPG values that people are quoting for the 3500 so far are true then not even close. Driving to/from Vegas, I get 22+ MPG in my 1500 Hemi. Around town, not so much

    Service Shifter & Sway Bar Disconnect Unavailable

    I would first try to clean the connectors/contact points of the harness and where it connects to see if it's just a dirt problem.

    Pricing is out of control

    On paper yes. But ask someone if they can afford for their cup of coffee to go from $2 to $4 and they'll say that sucks and keep buying. Ask them if their vehicle goes from $40k to $50k and I bet you get a different response. So, yes, 25% is 25% but a $2 change and a $10k change are far from...

    A feature you especially like or is especially handy

    My favorite feature on this truck is my 17" wheels. Came from a mercedes with rubber-band sized sidewalls. It's nice to hit a curb when making a turn in a drive-thru and not worry about scratching the rims.

    Pricing is out of control

    I'm no conspiracy theorist but I honestly can't rule this possibility out. In any event, I compared the two prices side-by-side, my 2021 big horn and a 2023 big horn and it's a straight 25% jump. $39k base to $49k base. Even if they added things as standard that were optional, there's no way...

    Pricing is out of control

    I get that but you're also talking about a 24 year gap between the two. I bought my truck a year and a half ago and it now costs 25% more to get the exact same truck. Just more of the same insanity taking over everything I guess.

    Pricing is out of control

    There's a significant difference between a 25% jump in price with a cup of coffee to a 25% jump in the cost of a vehicle. Obviously I've noticed how everything is more expensive. I guess I'm going to just keep my truck forever because as much as I love it, it's not worth a 25% premium to get a...

    Pricing is out of control

    Hi All, I was reading a different thread on here (sorry, I forget which) and they were talking about RAM prices increasing by a lot. I guess I hadn't really paid attention so I went and looked at my 2021 1500 BigHorn's MSRP listing on my window sticker and then compared a 2023 RAM 1500 at a...

    ‘22 5.7L gas mileage after 24,000 miles

    Driving back and forth from So Cal to Vegas several times, I normally see about 21-22 MPG on my 5.7 3.92, so we probably have similar driving styles. These things are no priuses but then again, I don't think anyone buys a truck with gas mileage in mind. However, I can't complain, this things...

    2500 payload ranges

    So, I got a picture of the door jam sticker. It's not 3500 lbs as I suspected it might not be. It was 2100 lbs. I'm glad I didn't have to make the trip all the way over there just to find out that it didn't match.

    2500 payload ranges

    Three things. 1. That really sucks if RAM is reducing the payload and towing capacities now based on that idiot who snapped his frame. 2. Interesting that the 2023 2500 I found is showing 3500 lbs of payload, I'm definitely going to go look at it in person to look at the numbers on the door...

    2500 payload ranges

    Because the number they reported seemed way too high but the values they are reporting calculate out correctly based on the rear axle weight and GVWR, etc. I have been looking at a 3500 recently but if this 2500's payload is really what is being reported, I might make the jump down. I'm going...

    2500 payload ranges

    So, I was browsing a local dealer's website and ran across a 2500 BigHorn with the CTD Non-HO engine. As I recall, the CTD severely takes away payload from the 2500s, to the tune of almost 1500 level payload in some cases. However, this one I was looking at had 3500 lbs of payload, which I...

    2023 ram 1500 tires

    This. If you're using a WDH, make sure it's been properly set up for your load but it absolutely sounds like too much weight on the rear end.
