I agree it’s a newsworthy story. It does give you pause for purchasing a vehicle that has a newly developed or updated engine. Of course, any engine problem can also get blown out of proportion with a few well placed YouTube vids. I’m wondering if some of these recalls could be due to...

Hey, thanks for the heads up (being from Ontario).

That’s awesome…. Crazy comments. I saw that shared garage comment… people with blinders on.

That’s what I’ve always done as well… I was just surprised when I saw a dealer suggesting a different viscosity in the USA than what is recommended in Canada for the same truck.

I’m not sure if I’ve misread this online or not. I have a 2023 Ram with a hemi and I live in Canada. The oil viscosity written on the fill cap is 0W20 for us. From some forums I’ve looked at it seems that in some of the United States the suggested oil is 5w20. I assume this is due to the warmer...

I agree, I feel the same way sometimes looking at YT. Tim may be right about the YT break… I may take one as well. If I read too many peoples comments the negative comments and basher type comments just get repetitive and tiring. On the other hand… I took a Quick Look at what was on the main...

I wondered way back when speed limiters were put in semi trucks in Ontario when they would be added to passenger cars. It will probably happen eventually. A shame if it happens. Some overly aggressive drivers spoiling it for everyone else.

This is an interesting thread. There is only so much time I spend watching I agree with the earlier comment that Jill brings a lot of value to your channel. Her insights and opinions on new vehicles give us a different viewpoint. I watch a few different automotive channels and have subscribed...

In my previous comment I should have specified that the mechanical differences in the two transfer cases aren’t always specified. I know reviewers don’t want to repeat themselves so that would be why. I specifically wanted the 4wd auto feature on this truck. I live in Ontario and where I live we...

It’s funny that I’ve been thinking about this recently. At times I’ve heard some reviewers talk about the differences. I’ve recently upgraded from a RAM with just 4HI and 4LOW to one that includes 4wd auto. I’ve noticed the difference when launching my boat at the cottage. The new truck (which...

I find some of the Aussie YouTube channels quite entertaining. They have a very specific market with its own challenges. They haven’t been supported very well by the big 3 if the videos are genuine. One thing they have in Australia is something called consumer law where you can challenge that a...

You will probably also take a bigger hit on resale if you have a loaded bighorn. If you look at resale prices I bet you don’t get even half of the value on an over optioned truck. But, you have to get the views evaluating these options. Tough call.

I like the looks and idea of the RHO. I agree that you have to look at the configurator to see how the price works out with desired options. I spend alot of time on all configurators when I’m in the market. Unfortunately, in Canada the pricing of the RHO starts higher than the standard f150...

That makes a lot of sense. It also answers my question on how much the new small diesel engines have continued to improve. I may have to think more seriously about that option when it’s time to buy a new truck.

That lines up with what I’ve always read. From November to the end of march most of my trips are short city trips(in the cold in Canada). In the summer I’m probably 30% city with the rest 70% highway with towing and increased hauling thrown in. I’m probably averaging less than 10000 miles per...

I’ve always thought that Diesel was an interesting option to look at. Unfortunately, my usage case is many short trips for half the year and low overall mileage. As a result I’ve always opted for the gas model for any truck I’ve purchased. I’m on my 5th truck starting in 1994. Does anyone have...

I have a 2023 Ram 1500 Sport (Sport is its own trim in Canada). Mine has the small plastic fake vents in the low front bumper. According to videos I’ve watched there are aftermarket kits that will bolt in and come with Bezels to replace the vents. But, if you don’t have those fake vents I guess...

Generally, to this point I’ve found that trucks maintain their residual value better than most cars. I seem to be with the consensus here. I try to get all of the options I need (with a look I like) for the most reasonable price I can. I figure if I save some money at the start that takes care...

Just in case someone else runs into this. I purchased my Ram sport (Canada) crew cab in august 2023. I recently did some research to see if I could add the OEM bed lights. Unfortunately, my truck was not pre-wired for bed lighting. Apparently there are 2 possible wiring harnesses. As a result…...
