Ditto on that, welcome fellow Canuck. I’m on my third RAM and owned a Dakota before that. Cheers.

#4 is funny but too true…lol

I like Getty’s vids but his list of problems with new engines seemed a little too much like preaching to the choir. IMHO a lot of his observations sounded like they were taken directly from negative comments on all new car videos. I’m sure that’s not the case but it seemed too familiar. I guess...

I’ve just started watching shorts. Some interesting content there. I don’t really look at TikTok or instagram. But I’m in the minority there.

Balance of Terror… classic…. I’m retired so I have time to watch YouTube videos in the mornings. I’m watching more videos than I normally would being home more due to some family issues. I answered 3+ at the top. I probably watch about 10 per day unless I’m doing some home Renos here or at the...

My wife and I go for drives like that all of the time. Perhaps with a walk at a waterfront park as well. I feel for all of you with your Losses and recent trials. We have been dealing with our own surprises at my end from life lately. Sometimes, getting out for a drive by myself helps me...

We all need to find a way to enjoy the ride of our lives as much as possible. Carpe Diem.

My problem with many screens is having too many functions buried in them without redundant buttons (I know a common complaint). Too distracting while you drive. I see some manufacturers bringing back buttons for hvac, heated seats, and rear defrost. Then again, I still see way too many people...

I like the increased resolution of the larger screens for the backup camera. Most of the rest of the screen content is optional in my opinion. A screen big enough to run android auto and apple carplay would be minimal for me. My previous truck a 2017 ram outdoorsman had the smallest screen at...

2023 ram 1500 sport crew cab 12.5k miles 2023 Cadillac xt5 13k miles Retired mileage rates…lol

I’m not beating that with mine. 23 Ram 1500 sport crew cab with a V8 etorque 321 rear differential. I just finished a 300 mile round trip. About half 2 lane highways averaging 55 to 60 mph and the rest freeway anywhere from 60 to 75 mph depending on traffic. I averaged 22.4 mpg. That’s about...

You are absolutely right. I had that 4.7L in my 02 Dakota ext cab. Great power plant. I meant to say GM 6.2 v8 above. We owned two pentastar v6 engines in the past in my wife’s grand cherokees and they always performed well. As I said it’s more of a higher hp chase without overspending for me. I...

I would want the higher horsepower of the hurricane SO over the pentastar. I’ve owned too many vehicles that were underpowered. Just a thing for me. That being said I wouldn’t pay for a limited just to get the HO. In 2023 I cross shopped the 6.4 from GM against the HEMI getting the lowest trim...

I should clarify that I wouldn’t buy a truck with less than 1400lbs of payload. Wouldn’t suit my needs. I’d be overloading it all the time. I’m sure there are many people that load up their vehicles and tow a big trailer and have never checked the payload.

I wonder how much the air suspension takes away from the payload?

I’m on my 3rd Hemi and I had the smaller dodge v8 in a Dakota b4 that(zero problems no hemi tick). I’m not a hemi fan boy. Each ram purchase was preceeded by a lot of research and cross shopping. Every time I would save enough on the ram purchase to make it a no brainer. I hope the availability...

That’s very interesting. I’m wondering if a lot of the initial problems are due to the fact most are new or newer models. Ie: ironing out the problems of a new model car on a never used platform? Of course, that doesn’t take away the problem part..lol I’ve got my popcorn out watching how they...

Teacher … back in the 80’s

lol, God’s country. Years ago my wife worked in Plevna! I used to go fishing in that area back in the day.

I did some searching looks like it can vary from .29 to .70 CAD here depending if it’s at peak time or not. Unfortunately some stations charge by the time at the charger and not by how many kWh of energy you received. If I had an EV I would be avoiding those stations. There is no signage...
