My profile pic is of a truck that I'm about to drop the hammer on later this week. It's a 2016 bighorn 5.7l 8 speed with 19k miles.
The 4wd selection has a 4wd Auto option. I've been looking at lift kits and they say not recommended for AWD trucks. Is the 4wd Auto the AWD I've been hearing about? I've been searching for a clear answer, but have not been able to find one.
If I am not able to lift this truck in the future, then I may have to reconsider my purchase and find a Ram 1500 with a different transfer case since I plan on keeping it for many years to come. I'm not the type to trade in every couple of years. Thanks.
e. Also I've seen people comment on difficulty regearing these trucks. Is there anything weird about them that makes them a pain in the ass? 3.21 would suck with 35's, so I may look for a regear in the future with a limited slip in the rear. Also considering buying a 2015 tradesman without the 4wd auto and a lower gear ratio. It's just not as nice all around. Either way I'll have a new Ram soon.
