Looking into a Limited HO

[GeauxinUp]

I test drove an RHO and Limited back to back....both w/ the Hurricane HO. Surprised how much faster the Limited was...guessing weight and tires. The Tungsten with the light tan headliner and all the chrome was the opposite of what I wanted. I didn't bother with the 5.7 as I've owned two (2009 Challenger and 2010 1500) and that technology and iron block are so dated they didn't interest me. Also, the HO is so much faster and that is what I was looking for. 26lbs of boost will help with that... Waiting on a backordered Corsa exhaust...it really is too quiet.

2026 Limited night edition with the Limited Level A Equipment Group (highly recommend) in Forged Blue. No sunroof (good for me). 33 gallon tank is standard equipment per window sticker. I bought it off the lot and the only two options missing that I really wanted were the multifunctional tailgate and bed utility group.

Over $11k off. Less than 1,000 miles, but I love it so far. Rides so well...love the air suspension. Tires are crap but they'll go in time.

Best of luck.

Nice, sounds like the trucks I’m looking at. Level A plus Night Edition. Trying to decide between granite crystal metallic or the silver billet. Those multifunction tailgates seem to be hard to find unless you order, but these do have the bed utility group.

The crazy thing is the mopar site gives me an error. Yet the equipment list says I have LSD, yet I did not pay for the LSD.

I Personally think the 2025 Model year will go down as a goofy "know one knowns" year

Thank you for your beta testing service.

It's reminding me of driving a Scout. Standard components? Lol, no, just whatever was on the shelf next when this one rolled down the line. Need a transmission filter, no problem, which of these *5 options* does yours have? (Not an exaggeration, in one model year they used 5 different automatics from different manufacturers. Most had Chrysler Torqueflights, with Borg-Warner being the second most popular)

Not to be confused with a Limited HOE, I prefer those to be unlimited.
But anyways, as the title says, I'm considering a new Limited and wanted to get some feedback. Any of you that have one, have any complaints about the truck overall? Any features you wish you had gotten? Anything I should look out for? It will (if I make the purchase) definitely be a Night Edition.

I got a 2025 Limited Longhorn and had a 2020 Limited

Love(d) both
Like the Hurricane better
I got the sunroof and use it daily
Air suspension is AWESOME!
my 2020 had the MFT loved it, but do not miss it on my 2025

The crazy silly and ubnoxious features of this level RAM is silly and awesome. I would not hesitate to get one ever.

I have little appreciation for the non-symmetrical look of t he Ram MFT.

I pulled up behind a (assume) new F-150 the other day and noticed what appears to be a MFT, but using a large center section with a left and right smaller section. This left two gaps, one on each side of the center section. Has a much more balanced look in my opinion.

Dusty, I agree with you on the look but the functionality is outstanding. I do miss mine now I’ve owned one.

The MFT was awesome when towing my travel trailer. I could open the short side and access items in the bed

AMC's were bad for using other manufacture's parts to,especially when they started having financial problems in the late 60's through to the 80's.They could have a Ford / GM or Chrysler ignition,and either a Chrysler based automatic or a GM based automatic,and they also used a Ford based T-10 with an AMC specific input shaft.It was guess and by golly on whether you got the right parts for them, especially after they were bought out by Chrysler in the late 80's

International's light line was almost entirely other people's parts, aside from the motor and the body panels.

Mine was old enough to have front drum brakes. They were the rear brakes from Chevy trucks.

My Dad had International 1/2 tons in the 60's,his first one was a 61 and the 2nd one was a 65,but he layed the 65 on it's side when he hit a snowbank and went into the ditch,after that he switched to Fords.Apparently it was tough getting parts for both trucks even back in the 60's. I don't really remember either truck all that much,other then from the pictures Mom had of both trucks

My grandfather had an International straight truck with a make shift cage on the back to haul corn to the feed mill to crack. The rear axle really was not up to what he put it through, as it would strip teeth fairly often. He was pretty good at replacing it roadside/ in the field they say. I was too young to know, but I do know he must have spent a lot with International because the clerk gave me a toy tractor for free once.

Working on a dam construction site in the mid-70s we had a couple of long bed 2WD Internationals that were universally hated. They were so low they could almost hang up on a dirt clod so none of the inspectors or engineers wanted to drive them. Our maintenance guy would drive one in to town to pick up the mail every day but it would often die on the road at the same place not far from the office and then after sitting awhile it would restart. He finally realized it was dying right by our big, powerful radio antenna we used for communications to our district office and other projects. Apparently when keyed the radio waves shut down the primitive electronic ignition if he was going past it. They were terrible trucks in that era - finally excessed with few miles on them.

Big shoutout to @AnthonyRI (who I met today face to face). He put up with all my questions, and put me in the exact truck I wanted (minus the MFT, since I didn’t feel like waiting for it). Process was as smooth as it could’ve possibly been, and Mark Dodge is ran like a well oiled machine!

@turkeybird56 I’ll get some better ones when it ain’t so gloomy outside.
