Looking into a Limited HO

[DanAR]

Tire brand maybe. It’s been that way since leaving the dealership if the slightest moisture on the streets. The 3.92 probably contributes too.

My old Express, even with LSD, would spin *both* if there was a slight uphill and you didn't eeeeeeaaaaaase into the pedal on the OEM tires when unloaded. Also 3.92 equipped.

I went to Nitto Terra Grapplers and that made a ton of difference. My son has the truck now and put Michelins on it and says they are very sure footed in the wet as well.

Spoke with @AnthonyRI, the retracting running boards come in the Level 1 equipment group and LSD is standard.

 

[Farmer Fran]

My 2025 Longhorn came standard with the power running boards but the LSD was an option.

The LSD in the RAM 1500 is a weak point wear item if you do any real towing. I would go open or locker. I have the open and for towing/sand/mud that I see it is perfect and will never wear out.

If you do any "real" off-roading or whatnot get the locker.

This is my opinion and I stand by it.

With a two-wheel drive, I'd rather have a locker than LSD for my usage.

I can believe that

How do you know what differential you have by looking? I see on the axle sticker 3.92 but no indication of what differential

 

[British Bulldog]

Mine tells me on my window sticker…….(they call it Anti spin diff) also, if you can access the Ram app, there is a tab for vehicle equipment, standard and optioned.

Mine says Anti-Spin on this list but not on the sticker.

I just got a 2026 Tungsten two weeks ago, the H.O. six is crazy quiet and gets up and goes. Sound wise, it doesn't come close to the V8, but cest la vie. One thing to be aware of, especially if you get a Rambox bed, is you want the silver rails in the bed if you're going to get a tonneau. I didn't know that the black rails (which apparently are standard) vastly limited the tonneau choices - and the silver rails are on huge backorder (I was quoted ~30 weeks.). Diamondback HD/SE tonneaus work with the black rails with the Rambox, so I went with their SE. That's the only thing I'd say to look out for, and not sure if it matters to you or if there's any special need for the regular bed.

I apologise……..I ass umed that this WAS the sticker. I have been over the physical one) mine again and it doesn’t state that on the sticker. Now I have to look into this myself!
I also tried that VIN lookup and got same message……unsupported VIN???

 

[British Bulldog]

There is a place on the other site……MOPAR.COM vin lookup, where you do enter your vin and it definitely shows all equipment with vin. Mine has the anti spin diff…..

The 2025s vin does not work. Has not worked since they came out. I checked wateva the problem was is fixed as the 26s work.

But the 25s well U SOL at Ram equipment site

 

[British Bulldog]

But the mopar aite DOES work! Straight in , full equipment shown including any dealer additions so is accurate as far as I can tell

 

[Farmer Fran]

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

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.

Good info. The trucks I’m looking at have the ram box and tonneau cover.
