Congrats, think of her as a blank canvas.Welp. Today's the day. Pics to follow. Altho, I gotta say, she's a pretty Plain Jane right now. White, white, white!
Mine and everyone I know that has a 4th gen it's 10,000 miles. So now we know that OCI meter is bullcrap. So what's next, will they delete the dipstick and tell us the engine oil is a lifetime fill?
Welcome! I have never ever been a fan of the Tundra, the very poor mpg and they just look odd to me, even the new ones. None of them are cheap to buy. The new Tundra with only a V6 turbo engine is no good imo. I like a non turbo engine and I prefer a V-8 even if they are going out of vogue.Good morning all.
New truck, new forum. Tomorrow, if all goes well, I am picking up my new 2022 white Ram 1500 Classic Hemi with 20kms on the odo. I can only hope this will be the beginning of a beautiful relationship. I am trading in my 09 Tundra TRD which came hidden with all the problems that I read about after the fact and which the dealer failed to disclose. Need less to say I fix the aforementioned and am trading in a pretty healthy truck. The straw that broke the camel's back was two fold. A recent trip to Arizona and back, towing a trailer, had me getting in US terms, about 8 miles per gallon. I know the new Ram will do better, even if not by much. But the real decider was and has been from purchase, the exhaust drone. Bad enough on it's own, a horrendous ear damaging affair when towing. There are fixes but enough was enough.
I was originally looking for a slightly used vehicle but the salesman talked me into a test drive and I was smitten. Sitting down and Googling the good and the bad I soon discovered the problems with the Ram and can only hope she doesn't go from lady to witch. Then there's the guy I clicked on with a 2022 Classic with nothing but trouble. GAAAA!
I like the look of the new tundra, and you can get one in the same configuration and price range as I spent on a classic. However I was not going to buy a first model year, and Toyota left a sour feeling towards me for now. TT V6 is indeed to complicatedWelcome!

I see a lot of debate on fuel, manual says 87 will work but 89 is recommended. I have been using 89. What would the benefit be of 91?Welcome, and enjoy your new Ram ownership experience!
As many have said already.... use a top quality synthetic oil (recommend 5W30) and the same for the oil filter (Royal Purple or equivalent), and change it at a max of 5,000 miles (8,000Km's for us Canucks...lol).
Use premium fuel too (91 is sufficient), and have fun with a great truck!
I got mine new in late June 19' and have just crossed 124,000Km's in that time, and she has been a fantastic vehicle and one heck of a truck! I'll never look back, and don't regret getting my Ram!
There's a great YouTube floating around here that tested multiple octane level fuels and scientifically proved there was zero real world difference.I see a lot of debate on fuel, manual says 87 will work but 89 is recommended. I have been using 89. What would the benefit be of 91?
I only had mine since November 22 / 1700 miles but always tossed in 89. I didn’t become one of them who believes 91 or 93 is superior. Extra .35 a gallon or so though!There's a great YouTube floating around here that tested multiple octane level fuels and scientifically proved there was zero real world difference.

You say plain, what do you plan on changing/adding?Welp. Today's the day. Pics to follow. Altho, I gotta say, she's a pretty Plain Jane right now. White, white, white!
I know that Costco here in Canada used to sell premium fuel without ethanol, I'm not sure if that's true anymore.I only had mine since November 22 / 1700 miles but always tossed in 89. I didn’t become one of them who believes 91 or 93 is superior. Extra .35 a gallon or so though!
We currently have 87 89 90 & 91 in New York where I am, typically the places that sell ethanol free it is only in the 90 octane. $4.99 per US gallon on averageI know that Costco here in Canada used to sell premium fuel without ethanol, I'm not sure if that's true anymore.
I'd suspect ethanol compromises fuel mpg much more than octane level.
Our supreme leader decided to remove ethanol-free gas from the entire country AFAIK.
Our premium fuel is about 12-25 cents per litre more. A US gallon is 3.8 litres while a Canadian gallon is 4.54 litres.
This mornings price is $1.57/ litre and typically 5-8 cents less at Costco. I believe regular fuel here is 87 octane.
