The big chip (R7F010023) looks like a Renesas chip with an ARM processor and some analog to digital and digital to analog converters in it.
It's "expensive" ($15ish just for that one part), so they wouldn't use it unless they needed to. It's about as powerful as, say, a desktop PC from the...
Yup -- looks just like that.
If you're going around a really tight corner the fog lights will turn on that in that direction. The auto-fog lights are great, but not as useful for driving on winding roads or clover-leaf highway ramps.
Going around dark clover-leafs or driving on winding...
Yup -- the adaptive cruise control on the RAM is a bit annoying in some circumstances.
I have a Chevy Volt with ACC, and it works great! If a car going about the same speed or a little slower pulls in my lane "too close" in front of me -- the ACC slows down gracefully and increases to the...
I thought it was some issue about being able to see both taillights from a large angle. With the tailgate down & the extender in place, there's only limited visibility to the taillight on the far side.
Lane Keep Assist requires the truck to have some type of control over the steering. The 2019 RAM HDs don't have that.
It might be possible to add Lane Departure Warnings (a chime / ding when you drift out of a lane). But I really doubt RAM will every update anything like that.
I don't know about ram, but typical industry in parlance: Lane keep assist should have the option of nudging the car back into the lane. I've driven a few other cars with the feature. The nicest versions I'd describe as.... You know when there's road construction and one lane is paved a couple...
The power wagon mount should work. Someone did this for their 2500 (I think it was a 2018?). The part numbers are probably different for the 2019s. But it'll be a good start to see what's involved...
I wonder how the adaptive steering works?
Lane keep assist needs some type of control over the steering.
It would be nice if the 2019s could be updated to have lane departure warnings and trailer blind spot monitoring.
I recently got a RAM 2500. It's been in the dealer lot more than it's been at my house -- but that's another issue....
The brakes feel like what might take 1" of travel on another vehicle would take 2" of travel on the RAM. It doesn't seem like an actual problem, just that I need to...
Yup!
The 4x2 Tradesman with 8' box, Hemi 6.4, and 4.10 gears has a tow rating of 17580 lbs (the same as the site reports my 4x4 limited mega cab).
"4x2 tradesman with 8' box" sounds like a default/uninitialized configuration in their database. I'd guess they somehow missed updating certain...
Yes.
VIN: 3C6UR5TJ2KG550640

Should have the 3.73 axle ratio
Link to image from the RAM website.
Cut-n-paste from the website:
MAX PAYLOAD
2317.68 LBS
MAX TOWING
17582.68 LBS
From the door sticker:
Payload: 2318 lbs
The payload is correct (at least matches the door sticker!) for my 2019.
The towing numbers on the website seem wrong. I have a 2019 Hemi megacab with the 3.73 gears, which should have a max tow rating of around 14k. But the website list 17k (which would be right for the 4.30 gears).
Exactly -- 31 gallons is just not enough. And no option to get any more (especially for gas HEMIs)
It looks the 2500/3500 chassis cab has an option for a 22-gallon midship tank. I wonder if that will fit the 2500/3500 pickups?
That chart may be old? It doesn't include the 285/60R20 tires I got with mine.

Yup!
I liked the ride of the 2500 air suspension more than the 3500 used for work commuting -- and it fits my needs (now about 1800 lbs of tongue weight, people, and stuff) for traveling.
With a crew cab and no ram boxes, payload would be around 2900 for the limited model.
I just picked up a ram 2500 limited mega cab.
Payload is just over 2300.
Mega cab eats up 400 lbs compared to a crew cab.
Ram boxes are about 150 lbs.
Sunroof? Maybe another 70 lbs?
There is about 3000 lbs left on the rear axle before hitting gawr.
