    Ordered 2021 RAM Limited

    Yup, mainly etorque, small gas tank, and no navigation (not a fan of Android auto for a few different reasons, but always updated maps is nice). Still got a pretty good price on the new truck even with reduced rebates nowadays, good trade value with this crazy market, and going from paying...

    Ordered 2021 RAM Limited

    Classics were the first trucks of RAM to have restrictions from the chip shortage. So that is probably why. Now they effect every truck and trim except Limited.

    Ordered 2021 RAM Limited

    No major changes (except they increased price, of course). I am going from a Laramie to Limited, though. Was told delivery is about 8 weeks, but that seems optimistic to me.

    Ordered 2021 RAM Limited

    Ordered a 2021 RAM 1500 Limited today. Replacing a 2020 Laramie. Delmonico red, indigo/frost interior, regular HEMI. Only extra options the BUG and engine block heater. MSRP $62,985. I decided against the 33 gallon gas tank, and the Advanced Safety Group. Went to a larger local dealer to look...

    2019 F150 5.0 - Another Truck Rental Review

    Had a 2018 F-150 with 5.0 and 10 speed, 3.55 gears. Not a fan of the engine or transmission calibration (supposedly the software is better now). Had several problems with the Coyote, including it drinking oil until a PCM update two years into ownership. Now I am in a RAM, build quality much...

    COVID-19 Rules Threaten Vehicle Quality, Experts Say

    I have a 2020 RAM 1500 Laramie, built last August. Rear body bolts slightly loose was the only manufacturing defect I found. Going to order a 2021 Limited tomorrow because trade on my truck is $4100 more than I paid and 0% saves $2500+. So I can get out of a truck I don't love the driving...

    2019 F-150 parked since new

    A few things from a former 2018 F150 5.0 owner... Get the ECU/TCU flashed. It actually helps a lot with the oil consumption issues these 2nd Gen 5.0 have. There is a TSB, not sure the number. Get extra oil drain plugs and have them handy, those tabs break easily. If you have the orange...

    New Tacoma!

    Trying to sell the old truck for, you mean. But they will sell a Tacoma at about any price they list it. Dealer is trying to sell my old 2018 F150 XLT with 26k and a squeaky and rattling dash for $200 more than I paid new and $5k more than they gave on trade (I got a good trade price, too)...

    Suggestions: Mid-size SUV w/3rd row...

    $25,500 for a 2015 Highlander with 75k? Yikes! Must be a Limited, but still. We bought a 2019 SE trim brand new in Oct 2019 for $36k, sticker $44k.

    2021 Durango SRT

    Is that unconnect 5? My next truck will probably be a Laramie Longhorn. But will keep the regular Laramie a while.

    Bought a new F150 EB... tickets on the horizon!

    Don't get the 5.0. I had a 2018 (first year of the 2nd gen) and they all still have the off throttle rattle, and most including mine drank oil until Ford came out with a reflash about a year ago. The 2.7 EB is the best F150 engine overall, 3.5 for towing. I got a Ram 1500 a few months ago and...

    any thoughts on two budget cuv's?

    Just for kicks I checked Autotrader for new Equinoxes. You can get a new LS FWD 2020 for about $15,000 - $15,500.

    Toro cold weather snow blower oil

    Agree. I started doing every other year in my snowblowers. I have a 2016 Ariens single stage 208cc and two stage 2019 Ariens Deluxe28 254cc. The Toro mowers get every two years (approx 25 hours) on the zero turn, and every year on the push. I put startron and seafoam in the gas cans (91 no...

    Picked up a Cherokee Trailhawk

    You don't need to buy the Escape just because you ordered it.

    Picked up a Cherokee Trailhawk

    Good score. As for the warranty, that is a good price, too. Zeigler has the best warranty prices usually, especially with the PAIDINFULL discount code. They are $2345 for 8/125k with $100 deductible before the discount code...

    Toyota Venza - What are the pros and cons

    The Highlander is small for a 3 row, with a back seat 3rd row only for children. Really, think of it as a two row with a good size cargo area and keep 3rd row folded down. We own a 2019 SE and like it a lot. Much more refined than a Rav4. We had a Ford Edge, similar in size to the Venza, and...

    2021 Ram 1500 BigHorn vs Silverado LT

    My 2020 Ram has been trouble free so far. My 2018 F150 was constantly in the shop.

    used vehicle for daughter

    There are a lot of options for your price range. Get your daughter involved, see what she wants (mid-size car, full size car, CUV, etc) and go from there. Remember, too, size matters. A bigger vehicle with modern safety features will do better in a crash than a small vehicle with modern safety...

    2020 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition CrewMax Review

    Looked at Tundra a few months ago before buying the Laramie. The super high seats were a deal breaker. In the passenger seat you are **** near hitting your head on the ceiling and it is not adjustable. The drivers seat is adjustable but not much better. Our Highlander has the same problem...
