    Death of Diesel

    Absolutely, hence why I bought a big ass V8 truck as well :-) It will be a while before we are replacing our tow vehicles, but it will happen. Semi's will be first (Tesla Semi's once they are released will have enough capacity to run a full shift before recharging during mandatory rest breaks.)

    Death of Diesel

    Common misconception, but that is not how the math works. EV's don't spend all their time charging, nor do they all charge at once. Source...

    Death of Diesel

    1) I don't have it yet, but 240v outlet in my garage, using the included charger. You can also charge with a standard 110v outlet. I didn't have to update my panel, house was built in the 80s with 200amp service. There is a standard for EV's, CSS, but Tesla uses its own proprietary - however...

    2022 Ram HD Builds and orders - Post and discuss your TRUCK order here! ** NEW USERS READ POST #1 **

    I ordered a Mustang Mach-E in the same week I ordered my 2500 Limited. Electric is here, and it finally makes practical sense, even ignoring environmental issues/benefits. Compared to other small crossover vehicles, the Mach-E was MUCH more fun to drive (a center of gravity within an inch of a...

    2022 Ram Tow/Trailer Camera Options

    I thought someone mentioned you could set hotkeys? I don't have my RAM yet (just ordered so it will be a while) so I am not sure how that works. But yeah, if it is buried in the menus it will be of dubious value going down the road - and I don't really need to see the horses while backing in...

    2022 Ram Tow/Trailer Camera Options

    Ok yeah, that is the one. The towing technology group gets me the regular truck surround, so I think I have the options I need, just need to know the camera to buy separately. Does anyone have a part number/link to it? When installed, this would show up as an aux camera that I can select when...

    2022 Ram Tow/Trailer Camera Options

    So I read the whole thread, and maybe I missed it, but I have a question about adding a regular single camera on a '22. I am ordering a 2500 limited, and I think we are going to skip the trailer surround camera option, but are going to get the tow mode mirror camera, the cargo camera, and the...

    Ok, so 5 months sounds like a realistic number, whereas the other dealers are giving me overly optimistic ones. Not surprised. No, not Mark Dodge or Chapman. These are all local dealers in the Rochester, NY area - Mark Dodge is 23 hours away and might be tough to swing. First two dealers...

    One other question - I was told that the MSRPs increased on 1/17/22 and that those increases are not yet reflected in the online builder - is that true?

    Hi guys - about to order my first RAM (a 2500 Limited) and want to confirm a couple things the dealer has said to me. First off, I am talking to three different dealers. Two of them both said that lead times for an order were around 10-12 weeks. The third dealer, who is someone I trust more...
