    2025 Ram 1500 First Drive: No More Hemi

    I agree with the RamCharger. Ford has a patent for something similar. If I recall correctly the Ford patent had a removable generator.

    2025 Ram 1500 First Drive: No More Hemi

    Straight 6 engines have several distinct advantages over v8 or v6 engines. Low rpm torque is one. My old 89 Ford straight 6, 300 manual, could tow amazingly well. I worked it to death, but the engine was never an issue. I gave it to my brother and bought a new 96 ram with the small v8...

    Dang automatic brake

    I agree. I use my truck on a family tree farm often. I plug my belt in and sit on it when I’m working on the farm.

    Dang automatic brake

    Whether you set the ebrake or it is activating every time you put it in park, it will automatically release if you put it in gear… with your seatbelt on…

    Looks like I'm never buying RAM again...

    Love straight 6’s. More reliable, less harmonics, lower rpm torque. Just gonna miss the growl when I start it every day.

    Shocking truth ZF8 fluid

    You sound like a fun guy to hang around with. I grew up in the country and hung out with some truck pulling maniacs for a few years. I even worked for one of them in their mechanic shop for a couple of years. Not wrenching, but doing everything else…. You remind me of those guys. Keep racing!

    Shocking truth ZF8 fluid

    I know that the whole idea of lifetime transmission fluid seems rather shady, and that zf actually recommends that it is changed at a certain number of miles, but I am also wondering whether transmissions fail in the new 8 speeds? I’m not trying to troll or discount anybody’s extra effort to...

    Hurricane durability questions?

    I would not be afraid of the hurricane. I just bought a 22 hemi so unless I crash it, they will be old engines by the time I’m looking. The RamCharger has my attention now too.

    Questions about new 3.0 Standard Output Hurricane Engine

    My 2 friends that have bought Wagoneers are in love with the engine. I wouldn’t worry about it. Every engine is an electronic nightmare. Get a good extended warranty and keep up on the maintenance. Enjoy the new truck. I just wish it sounded like a hemi!

    Regrets? 2023 Ram 1500, 5.7 eTorque, 5'7" Short Bed, Mostly Loaded, 3.92, less than 1000 miles

    Let your half ton work. You don’t tow that much. You’ll lose your $&% on a trade.

    2022 Ram 1500 Limited Rough Transmission

    Good luck with your new truck. I hope it gets fixed soon.

    Highest towing capacity for the 5.7

    I agree. My last ram got oversized heavy tires. It was the old 4.7 in a work truck, st. Between the engine and the transmission, it wrecked what little pep that truck had. I still abused it for 10 years and loved it till the day I traded it in. This time I bought a Laramie that I loved...

    That’s a beautiful truck! Enjoy. I have never been in a better riding vehicle. These trucks are amazing.

    "303 Aerospace" Is a Fantastic UV Protectant Product. You will Not Be Disappointed!

    I use the 303 interior cleaner and protectant on my Laramie interior and under the hood. Love it.

    Laramie Leather issues?

    I believe the part that you are worried about is the perforated real leather for the ventilated seats. The rest of the seats are pleather I believe. My 22 Laramie has looked similar and has not had any issue. I love the seats…. Easy to clean and comfortable. Plus, the dash doesn’t seem...

    What's different about the Gen 5 versus the 4. Any complaints with the Etorque or truck in general??

    10 year 150k is on my 22 Laramie.

    What's different about the Gen 5 versus the 4. Any complaints with the Etorque or truck in general??

    5th gen is substantially better than my 4th gen. Ride quality, steering, brakes are huge, interior is nicer, and it is much quieter. Get an extended warranty if you are worried about costs to fix the gadgets. Every truck is an electronic nightmare anymore. It will only get worse.

    87 vs 89 octane

    I buy 89 octane. I was running 87 in the winter during the first couple of months after I bought it, but now it’s only 89 all year round. It’s not a lot more. The manual recommends it. The engineers must’ve thought it was important enough to put the recommendation in the manual. I might...
