When I go truck shopping, I'm either going to go out of town to buy one that is already on the dealer lot, or just order one. However, I know if I truly shop around in another locale, I can get a steep discount like y'all are mentioning on here. I like my local dealer, but the sales department...

I got a 2020 DT EcoDiesel and love it. They worked out the problems, and even though mine is a first year model, I haven't had any concerns. Can't wait to see pictures and hear your experiences! :D

My DPF on my 2020 EcoDiesel is 8/80.

RAM cleaned the ambiguity up quite a bit in the 2025 emissions handbook.

After reading through all of the warranty books for each model year (as far back as 2014), I learned that the 2024 and older HD trucks (not C/C) only have a 5 year / 50,000 mile federal emissions warranty. The new 2025 RAM HD pickup trucks now have the standard 8 year / 80,000 mile federal...

Exactly like @NIsaacs said, lots of fake AI generated videos and pictures out there. The funniest thing I saw a few months ago was a CAT pickup truck. Got a chuckle out of that.

@Terry -- Thanks for sharing this!

I agree. This is how all of the manufacturers are doing it. The only thing I care about regarding price are the final numbers I'm going to pay (includes taxes, title, registration), not even the window sticker numbers. A friend who recently bought a half ton truck, got so many discounts, that...

Nope. Mechanical failure would be if the connector burned up for instance without signs of outside influences (water ingress or corrosion). The Maxcare won't cover seals and hoses either. As those are considered consumables. This is another reason why these warranties are a scam on hybrids...

They are probably getting out of it using this clause: Repairs to a covered component where the component has been restricted by the manufacturer; repairs that are the direct result of the failure of a component that has been restricted by the manufacturer; This is about the sleaziest clause...

You must be lucky. My work truck 3500 is usually out of alignment needing something every 60-70k. My 2020 1500 was out of alignment at 50k. I have these when I replace suspension/steering parts. They work great for getting an initial adjustment, but do take work to get it right on.

Depends on where you live with the roads. Where I live, roads chew up alignments and suspension components. Tires are expensive too.

Makes sense.

Patience pays off! It's called the Thuren spec for the alternate alignment settings.

Yup, you can't beat that! :)
