Hello all! I just bought a 2019 RAM 1500 Classic Tradesman to work out of. I have always enjoyed the Mopar family (just traded in a Durango Citadel) and this is my first RAM truck.
I have a few things that I would like to address to get the most out of my lovely new truck.
First off MPG!
Okay, okay... This is still the first week that this truck has ever had miles put on it but I can barely eek out 14.5 MPG while driving behind a box truck at 65 MPH. My guess is because it's the glorious 5.7 and just not broken in and the other thing would be the 3.92 gearing. I really do not plan to tow so this aggressive gearing was an oversight while purchasing the truck. Anyone Houston-localish wanna trade out your high 2 or low 3 gear!?
Second, Android auto.
I only have the UC 5" which doesn't utilize AA and I hear it's only on the 8.4+ models but I don't want to dump $1200 into a different HU.
Thanks for looking.
Greetings folks!
