I think its back up.

Edit: After writing this I saw this article about a snap ring wrecking transmissions https://hdrams.com/nhtsa-opens-investigation-on-some-2022-ram-hd-trucks/ I wonder if any beancounters were involved overriding engineers to save a buck. You can still get Jeep Monroneys. The main theory is...

I have mine for peace of mind pulling my travel trailer in the 10K range miles every year vs a 1500 which can technically pull the trailer. It is much more relaxing than a 1500. No more white knuckle days or the requirement for some kind of shoulder massage... Oh it's great for hauling...

There's a website called Fuelly https://www.fuelly.com/car/ram/2500/2022 If you look at the profiles you might be able to filter it down to octane I'm not sure. Bottom line the average is in the 12/14 range overall... Some people in their profiles will note fuel they use as I remember.

It comes and goes. The only thing I can figure is that with the SAE standards having a dynamic quality to them, that can change what the numbers are when, for example there is an update in the standards, or a clarification is provided by the SAE. I'm surprised there isn't some kind of disclaimer...

I traded a 2021 1500 because I also felt that way. Fortunately this when used were still berzerk on pricing. Between the original 2015 I traded in for the 2021, and the 2021, I still was ahead but less than 10K.

Took delivery in 23 as new? I gotta killer deal on a 2018 daily driver Renegade in May 2019.

I took delivery Feb 2022 and am right at 19K miles with right at 9500 miles towing my 6700 lb 800 tongue weight 29 foot travel trailer. I've used 87 octane when daily driving it which mostly consists of big grocery runs, transfer station duty and some couple hundred mile day trips, light off...

Oh, that's right missed that. A One time trip like that carefully done, makes sense instead of spending a thousand bucks...

Never heard of a 37 footer that light.

I do have one regret and that is not buying the 2004 Turbo Forester. I didn't have as much money back then was towing a small pop up camper and had a choice between a standard NA Forester and the Turbo five speed. 04 was the ONLY year they used a detuned STi engine in them. 05 forward, they...

I've had mine since like March 2022. It is NOT a daily driver but has the Off Road package and mostly is dedicated to light off roading (National Forest), trip towing and transfer station duty. These things are a beast to park in town. So, I'm averaging right at 17K miles in 18 months with...

Engineer or highly skilled mechanic alert!

But where will the dog sit?
