Picked up my 2014 Ram Sport 5.7/ 3:92 gear 2 days ago. Was given an offer I couldn't refuse for my Hummer H2 by multi franchise dealer. After weighing the offerings from the big three I opted for the Ram. Almost pulled the trigger on the Long Horn but located this sport and really liked the looks. It also happened to have about every option you could order. So far a few observations. If the onboard computer is accurate, it is getting better mpg than the wife's Explorer with ecoboost 6.The air suspension tends to level off at weird times, like after it has been sitting for many hours. I was working in the yard today and heard the compressor cycle, that scares me a little. The 8 speed tranny is a little shifty and takes some getting used to. The rotary gear selector will also take time to get comfortable with. Seems I am always trying to push the engine stop buton while still in D. Uconnect doesnt message with an iphone, not sure if this is an apple thing or a uconnect thing but I would have thought it would work with the world's most popular phone. (How am I supposed to communicate with my kids?..haha) All in all I find it a very nice riding and great looking machine. Look forward to sharing thoughts and ideas on the forum.

Welcome! Nice truck! and sorry the iPhone is buggy with Uconnect. As of current the messaging does not work with any iOS on any Uconnect. Its annoying anyways trust me your better off with out it. I had the same issue, and 2 weeks after I bought the truck I got an Android and couldnt wait to try it out. If you do enough searches on here you will find more threads on how to shut it off then turn it on.

If some ones on a texting spree you will literally scream its so annoying..

Welcome, ya just gotta love a black sport - well except for the cleaning part!

Ha...it's a challenge for sure but i enjoy it. When it's done the payoff is unmatched. Again, thanks all for the warm welcome!

Exhaust mod could be the first. I need to hear this hemi rumble a little.
