When does everyone think the 2022 1500 will be on dealer lot? I am trying to decide if I want to build one or wait for them to show up on the lot.

Don't expect the refresh 2022 to hit lots until next year most likely.  My guess is Feburary/March.  They still have to start building 2022 carryover trucks which was supposed to start in the next week or two.

I read the article that dropped yesterday. Question about axle ratios with the diesels. In the article, the below was mentioned:

 

Axle Ratio: 3.23 (5.3L, 6.2L and 3.0L)
3.42 (2.7L, 5.3L and Max Trailering Pkg. and 6.2L w/ Max Trailing Pkg.)

 

This leads me to believe that the 3.0L diesel will only be available with the 3.23 gears, however, when looking through the specs (see below), the 3.0L says that it can tow 13,200 lbs with NHT, which leads me to believe that it will be offered with the 3.42 gears and the 3.23 gears as it gives both options in the graphic below.  

 

3.0L diesel    (lb. / kg)^: N/A 9300 / 4218 (2WD)
13300 / 6033
(2WD & NHT & 20” Wheels)
9000 / 4082 (4WD)
13000 / 5897
(4WD & NHT & 20” Wheels)
9300 / 4218 (2WD short box)
13200 / 5987
(2WD short box & NHT & 20” Wheels)
9000 / 4082 (4WD short box)
12900 / 5851
(4WD short box & NHT & 20” Wheels)
9200 / 4173 (2WD std. box)
13100 / 5942
(2WD std. box & NHT & 20” Wheels)
8900 / 4037 (4WD std. box)
12900 / 5851
(4WD std. box & NHT & 20” Wheels)

 

To me, it looks like the 3.0L can be paired with the 3.42 axle ratio, and tow 12,900 with a 4WD crew cab, short box, & NHT, which would be a nice combo for those looking for a capable tow truck that is also a daily driver (like me).

 Not until after first of the year.  As of now(subject to change) suppose to start building the updated 2022 Trucks in March and start shipping to dealers in May 2022.

I think the exterior refresh is nice.  The console shift is going to suck though.  Ugh.  I like bucket seats but still work my truck.  Right in the way of a lot of stuff.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
