12mpg on a stock Hemi Ram? I get 18mpg in mixed driving on my ‘22 Hemi Ram 4wd with 34.5” tires. Also…whoever pays $10k for that little lift and wheel/tire combo is a sucker, but they’re born everyday as they say.
I'm so confused I have a completely bone stock 20 larmie with the 5.7 no e torque and on a 3 hour trip that I do frequently going an average of like 70-75mph I can only average 16-18 but other people say in the city alone they get 16. I don't have a led foot either
@@alexanderabboud4691 hills and idle time make a big difference on that dash readout if that’s what you’re going by. I’m in Alabama so is a good mix of hills and flat area…I don’t “baby” it but I do try to pay attention to how I drive. I have 3.21 rear end which helps a little on highway driving but might hurt a little in city so to me that’s a wash. I’ve done the math and the dash is pretty close to accurate on mine. But I’m always between 17.5-18.5 on almost every tank
It's a nice truck, Ty for sharing. going to be kool to see how these new motors end up going ... at this price point and with not much better mpg might as well consider something like a F250 Off-Road ( but that's just me )
@@MyNameJeff-lo2yc go on the RAM-TRX forums... few dealers well below MSRP taking orders. I got my 22' TRX Level II for $81k price locked/factory order (sticker was $93,700 at delivery) from Granger in IA (drove 1500 miles from Phoenix to get it)
My 2019 Ram 1500 off-road package. I lifted it with Bilstein struts and springs with 35s. It look fantastic but Performance and gas mileage of course suffered.
The wheel and tire package is probably 3k or slightly more, the lift kit is probably close to 1k, the fox shocks are probably 600, labor and alignment probably another 1300-1500k from a dealer, so maybe like 7k total, so yes, some markup, but it looks like someone bought it. I didn't see it in their inventory.
Cool. I wonder if an inline 6 would help. I was thinking more across the board like those in the new Tacoma and Land Cruiser, etc. It will be interesting to see the reliability over time with this trend primarily for pulling a trailer. I am still a fan of the V8 for serious duties.@@ThEUNchaRtedmAN
The fact that a small 2" lift and 35x12.5 tires take this from a 17-18 MPG truck to a 10-11 MPG truck is mind boggling... this alone is deterring me from spending money on the 2025 RAMs and going to force me to buy a 3L baby Duramax from GM. My current 2015 RAM 1500 Laramie with the 5.7L Hemi with a 3.5" lift on 35x12.5 tires gets 13-14 MPG city. That is a 60-90 miles per tank difference.. put that into dollars and where I live it is $18-27 more in fuel for the same distance. Twice a month, that isn't good at all.
Is it me or is it leaning lower on the driver side? Actually you can see the coolant unlevel when he opens the hood. That’s one thing you have to worry about when lifting a truck
You but it then. Boosted and non sleeved cylinders are prone to fail. Also to get more HP. adding more boost will just shorten the life of the engine. I'll go will go with less MPH for more reliable engine.
Small forced induction engines in full size trucks is a terrible idea. Nothing will convince me otherwise. The BASE MSRP for one of these is $63k? This is a joke right? 😂
I mean we will have to wait 5 years and see what happens You may be right, the engineers may be right….. but they are taking a hell of a gamble they are right
$70k for a gas truck with cloth seats??? Yeah no thanks, the car/truck industry is doomed. Sadly there's people that will buy it and the manufacturers will keep selling them at that price 🤦🏾♂️
That lift kit and tire and wheel setup is way overpriced 😮 you can literally get the same set of tires and wheels and a different brand lift kit under four grand.🤔
