2015 Ram 2500 on 2040-cars
Romance, Arkansas, United States
More details at: scottsccovitt@ukcharities.com .
Here is my 2015 Ram 2500 Crew Cab 4x4 with the 6.7 Cummins. Truck only has 14,767 miles on it. This is the
tradesman edition however I have added several accessories to help dress it up. Dealer installed: chrome step ups,
cab lights, spray in bedliner, bushwacker fender flares, chrome bug shield, chrome exhaust tip, chrome door handles
and mud flaps. Truck also has a fifth wheel hitch.
I purchased this truck in March of 2015 from Landers Dodge in Benton, Arkansas. This was my first new truck. I had
planned on keeping this truck for many years. The truck is very strong and gets great fuel economy and looks good.
It was purchased to pull my 26 foot three stall horse trailer. It only pulled the trailer with 3 horses in it
twice. The other times were just my two horses. With just two horses in it, the combined weight of this trailer
is around 7,000 and with three horses, approximately 8000 pounds. This is the heaviest load this truck has ever
pulled. The truck also pulled a 7000 pound camper about 20 miles. Truck has never been off road or never in mud.
The closest thing to mud this truck has even seen was when I hauled some hay with the truck and the horse pasture
was a little wet. It was washed right after. I have driven the truck to Texas twice and twice to Branson,
Missouri, both trips were made not pulling anything. Each trip, the truck averaged between 22-23 mpg.
Cosmetically this truck is perfect except for the front hood. On June 6, 2015, I was travelling down the
interstate when the guy in front of me ran over a 2x4 and it came up and hit my hood. It did approximately $400 in
damage. (see pics) That is the only damage to the vehicle. There are NO door dings or dents or sratches on any
other part of the truck that I have seen. Im always very careful where I park my truck.
When the truck had 6500 miles on it, I took it back to the dealer to have the break in oil changed and tires
rotated and the fuel filters changed. These trucks have 2 fuel filters. They changed the oil and rotated the tires
however the mechanic told me I was wasting my money if I replaced the filters this early. He said its not needed
till 15k miles. So it will need the two fuel filters replaced soon. The first oil change was not recommended
until 15k miles as well but I strongly believe in changing the oil the first time early.
The interior has no rips, tears, stains, etc. It still smells new. All glass is 100 percent. I have bought
several vehicles online including one just two months ago. I bought a 2002 GMC 2500 4X4 to replace this truck.
That truck was more scratched up in the person than what the pictures showed the vehicles to look like so I
understand buying a vehicle online. If you need a certain picture of any part of the truck please let me know.

Ram 1500 Texas Ranger Concept celebrates brand's law-enforcement partnership
Wed, Mar 25 2015While the auto industry's eyes are fixed on New York for its annual extravaganza at the Javits Center, Ram is making an end-around play. The truck maker is showing a new concept at the 2015 Dallas Auto Show based on the company's long-running partnership with the Texas Rangers (the lawmen, not the baseball team). Exterior changes to the 1500 are kept rather light, with badging inspired by the Rangers' iconic badges fitted to the front fenders and tailgate. The Rangers' badge is also found at the center of each 20-inch alloy wheel. As for the white/silver color scheme, it "embodies the white hats and silver badges that the good guys always wear." Starting with the handsome Canyon Brown and Tan leather of the Laramie Longhorn, Ram designers fitted four, five-peso coins to the door inserts. Texas Rangers' badges have long been hewn from the limited-issue Mexican currency, hence its inclusion in the 1500. The coins in the front door show "heads" and the back door coins are flipped to "tails." Adding to the unique touches, a prominent Texas Rangers' badge sits over the center console and is also embossed in the leather seatbacks. Even the dash cluster's display shows the Rangers' badge upon startup. Ram and the Texas Rangers formed their partnership back in 2014, with the truck maker "aiding the preservation of the history of the renowned law-enforcement organization," the company said in its press release. You can check out the full gallery of images, which include plenty of updated interior shots, above. As for Ram's press release, that is, as usual, available below.

Lexus tops JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study again, Buick bests Toyota
Wed, Feb 25 2015It shouldn't surprise anyone, but Lexus has once again taken the top spot in JD Power's Vehicle Dependability Study. That'd be the Japanese luxury brand's fourth straight year at the top of table. The big news, though, is the rise of Buick. General Motor's near-premium brand beat out Toyota to take second place, with 110 problems per 100 vehicles compared to Toyota's 111 problems. Lexus owners only reported 89 problems per 100 vehicles. Besides Buick's three-position jump, Scion enjoyed a major improvement, jumping 13 positions from 2014. Ram and Mitsubishi made big gains, as well, moving up 11 and 10 positions, respectively. In terms of individual segments, GM and Toyota both excelled, taking home seven segment awards each. The study wasn't good news for all involved, though. A number of popular automakers finished below the industry average of 147 problems per 100 vehicles, including Subaru, (157PP100), Volkswagen (165PP100), Ford/Hyundai (188PP100 each) and Mini (193PP100). The biggest losers (by a tremendous margin, we might add) were Land Rover and Fiat, recording 258 and 273 problems per 100 vehicles. The next closest brand was Jeep, with 197PP100. While the Vehicle Dependability Study uses the same measurement system as the Initial Quality Survey, the two metrics analyze very different things. The VDS looks at problems experienced by original owners of model year 2012 vehicles over the past 12 months, while the oft-quoted IQS focuses on problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership. Like the IQS, though, the VDS has a rather broad definition of what a problem is. Because of that, a low score from JD Power is no guarantee of extreme unreliability, so much as just poor design. In this most recent study, the two most reported problems focused on Bluetooth connectivity and the voice-command systems. The former leaves plenty of room for user error due to poor design (particularly true of the Bluetooth systems on the low-scoring Fords, Volkswagens and Subarus), while the second is something JD Power has already confirmed as being universally terrible. That makes means that while these studies are important, they shouldn't be taken as gospel when it comes to automotive reliability.

Stellantis and LG launch joint venture for North American battery plant
Mon, Oct 18 2021Stellantis has struck a preliminary deal with battery maker LG Energy Solution (LGES) to produce battery cells and modules for North America, as the world's No. 4 automaker rolls out its 30 billion euro ($35 billion) electrification plan. Global automakers are investing billions of euros to accelerate a transition to low-emission mobility and prepare for a progressive phase-out of internal combustion engines. Stellantis and LGES's joint venture will produce battery cells and modules at a new facility with an annual capacity of 40 gigawatt hours (GWh), the two firms said on Monday. No financial details of the deal were provided. The plant is scheduled to start production by the first quarter of 2024, with groundbreaking expected in the second quarter of 2022, the companies said in their statement. Its location is under review and will be announced later. Stellantis, formed in January from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, has said it wants to secure more than 130 GWh of global battery capacity by 2025 and more than 260 GWh by 2030. The batteries produced under the deal will supply Stellantis' U.S., Canadian and Mexican assembly plants for installation in hybrid and fully electric vehicles, supporting its goal of e-vehicles making up more than 40% of its U.S. sales by 2030. The company, whose brands include Peugeot, Fiat, Opel and U.S. best-sellers Jeep and Ram, earlier this year announced it would invest more than 30 billion euros through 2025 on electrifying its vehicle lineup. Stellantis has said it would build three battery plants in Europe and two in North America, including at least one in the United States. Intesa Sanpaolo analyst Monica Bosio said the deal was positive, and a further step ahead in Stellantis' electrification process. It comes weeks after Stellantis and its partner TotalEnergies agreed to open up their battery cell joint venture ACC to Daimler, to expand their European sourcing of battery cells. Stellantis is also targeting more than 70% of sales in Europe to be of low-emission vehicles by 2030, and aims to make the total cost of owning an EV equal to that of a gasoline-powered model by 2026.
