  1. Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.
  2. I hear Ram’s ZF transmission is pretty bulletproof.
  3. Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks.

  5. IIRC Edmunds did a comparison on Youtube of all the small CUV's and the Trax and Trailblazer were on top, so I guess they're desirable.
  6. Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.
  7. I’ll take the blue one!
  8. No doubt, I definitely agree with you. However, considering the 6.2 and 3.0 have been catastrophically failing with very little miles, I figured I would put trouble free. I’m at 18,4xx and still not a single issue.
  9. Hopefully they get this issue sorted because the engine is pretty great otherwise.
  10. Yea a fluid change is in order here. Honestly, your transmission didn’t even get hot. During the summer in stop and go traffic I’ve seen my 8l80 get up to 216 and it was still shifting smoothly.
  11. For reliability, that would be my second choice but it’s better than the 6.2 and 5.3. The plus is that the fuel economy is excellent.
  12. My 2025 Custom has the storage but my 2020 WT does not.
  13. Thanks for coming back with an update.
  14. It won’t hurt anything. Just make sure to use the proper weight oil.
  15. Thrust bearing issues. It’s actually well documented and there have been some failures with very minimal miles. I still think it’s a safer option than the 6.2 though. The Turbomax actually has the least amount of issues.
  16. Very interesting thread. Definitely didn’t expect to see this kind of mileage out of that engine.
  17. Definitely needs to go back to the dealer.
  18. I’m definitely going to follow this thread. Very entertaining.
  19. Just buy and extended warranty and don’t worry about anything else.
  20. I do too. I’ll never be stuck again
