    Only 3 doors lock

    2024 Bighorn Quadcab, driver rear door does not lock. (Makes me wonder if it ever locked.) Truck delivered in December. Thought truck was unlocked in yard today and opened door to put something on rear seat. Alsrm went off. So deactivated alsrm with key fob. Then relocked doors with key fob...

    New convert to Ram with a stupid question

    Perhaps it was designed for foreign coinage, such as Canada?

    Eco Mode Not Working

    Thanks for feedback, i don’t mind it not working so unless there is some mechanical reason to have it engaged every so often, i don't see any need to have it operational.

    Eco Mode Not Working

    My 2024 1500 Bighorn V-6 (2,300 mile) does not shut down when at a stoplight. Not that i want it to, as my intuition is that it is an EPA add on, not an enhancement to the vehicle’s optimum operation. Fortunately I don’t have to deal with a lot of traffic lights. If i do, I disable the system...

    Think I might crash

    Note to OP & rookies “Good judgement comes from bad experiences and a lot of those come from bad judgement.” Sincerely hope you and your passengers or pets never have a bad experience in your Ram at 80+ mph. And yes, been there & done that. I’m a survivor of some poor judgement. Also know that...

    Truck got broken into!

    A former colleague residing near SW border, has had a to deal with thieves who cross border and scout neighborhoods for open garage doors or unattended lawn equipment. What ever they deem of value gets thrown in their van and they return to Mexico. My friend says that most in his neighborhood...

    Mix the mid grade yourself and save?

    Used to almost exclusively buy regular gas at a nearby Gulf station for my 2004 GMC Sierra v8 which called for regular grade fuel. In less than 60,000 miles i replaced 3 oxygen sensors. (The v8 actually had 4 oxygen sensors.) While Gulf is a name brand fuel in my area, it is not a top tier...

    Mix the mid grade yourself and save?

    While my v-6 uses regular, based on various trusted sources, i use the mid grade for small engines - chain saws, lawn tractors, lawn mowers, out board motors, wood splitter, weed wacker, leaf blower. In my town, my go to station is Mobil, a top tier gasoline that has the detergent additives...

    Key FOB - Proximity?

    Despite ordering the Level B Equipment Group package ($3,845), my Bighorn 1500 fob requires pushing the unlock button. When the salesman did a follow up call to see how i liked the truck i mentioned this and he said that the feature is not available on the model i ordered. Also, i had stored...

    4x4 with no tow hooks?

    Agree with Kart 20. Among the various tasks mentioned in this thread, I’ve also used tow hooks for towing a large and very dead garden tractor about 40 yards uphill to my shed (could never have pushed it by hand), raised a medium sized moose onto a game poll, dragged a 8’by 12’ shed on rollers...

    Which mud flaps

    I installed Rokblokz flaps several weeks ago. No drilling, no wheel removal. Comes in regular size which affords great protection for my 1500, and an XL if you go wider than stock size tires. Price would be about $160 for your truck. (Made in USA). Front flaps 8 1/4” & rear flaps 10” above...

    4x4 with no tow hooks?

    Agree, tow hook(s) should be standard on a 4x4 truck but priorities and needs of contemporary consumers have indeed changed. Rather than pay the dealer to add tow hooks i took the cheaper route and added a Reese tow loop to the trailer hitch. Like a truck’s jack, a tow hook is useless until...

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

    Thus far satisfied with 2024 v6 Bigfoot 4WD Quadcab. Based on title of this thread, here are some gripes. Disappointed the following not included in packages/options on my truck: -4WD package should have included front tow hooks and the ability to choose without extra cost either a tire...

    87 vs 89 octane

    Re: the el cheapo fuel stations, they may cut corners to reduce operating expenses. The filters on station fuel pumps should be periodically changed, I believe about every 300,000 gallons or every 6 months. Not surprisingly, I have heard that all stations do not stick to this protocol. A...

    87 vs 89 octane

    I’ve put about 1600 miles on my ‘24 1500 4WD (3.21). Getting about the same as you on highway. Can get around 23 mpg around town (not much traffic congestion here.) These numbers are what the computer advises, however several forum members believe their vehicles are getting a couple mpg less...

    87 vs 89 octane

    When deciding on V6 vs.V8, the deal breaker was the fuel. The 89 octane is recommended for the V8. In my area 89 octane is currently about 80 cents a gallon more than 87 octane (Mobil). Also, it’s my understanding that unless you patronize top tier fuel stations, the 87 octane fuel lacks the...

    “Smart” Fob Tip

    I’m in the process of attempting to locate a “smart” fob for my 2024 Ram Bigfoot Quadcab. (About every 12 years i lose a car key so I was due.) It is either misplaced or perhaps lost while I was cutting up downed trees in my yard. Have done exhaustive searches with no luck. Contacted Ram dealer...

    Fender Flares

    Something to consider before mounting fender flares. If like NH, Idaho is liberal in salting highways during winter snowstorms, your flares will likely trap and collect salt, increasing the probability of corrosion around your wheel wells. Suggest you do some internet research on the pros and...

    Two things - Multifinction tailgate rainwater and bed divider (2023 limited with 6' bed and soft tonneau cover).

    The fact that the internet offers several vendors offering covers for only the rear pockets suggests that this is normal. It does not make any sense that Ram only covers the front pockets, unless i am missing something. I suspect that only a small percentage of Ram owners use the stake pockets...

    Two things - Multifinction tailgate rainwater and bed divider (2023 limited with 6' bed and soft tonneau cover).

    Re: Water in bed, on my ‘24 Bigfoot quad cab bed, the two front stake pockets are covered; the two rear pockets are open, allowing rain and car wash water to enter the bed. I sealed the rear pockets with some left over black Flex Seal tape. However there are Chinese made plastic snap covers...
