Does Anyone Own a 2019 Big Horn with the Pentastar V6?

[EthanWalter]

My next lease will be a Ram 1500 and I wondering if there are any knees on here with the Pentastar v6? Do you wish you had gotten the Hemi? How is acceleration? I’d personally prefer the hemi, but most lease deals are for the v6. I don’t do any towing or hauling, so that stuff doesn’t really mean anything to me (I just always wanted a pickup truck).

Welcome, we've had owners here that owned the V6 and switched to a EcoDiesel but did like the V6 motor... so, either route you take you'll likely enjoy the truck. Since you don't tow or haul anything, it might be just for you.

I get mine on Tuesday! I opted for the Pentastar with the e-torque. The horsepower on this engine is ok, but the torque is a bit low. With the e-torque it seems fine. Here it is! https://www.jimmybrittcdjr.com/new/Ram/2019-Ram-1500-1a22f0da0a0e0a6b0e8c476abc312722.htm

That is what I bought, the 2019 1500 Bighorn with the V6. I did not bail on my 2015 eco because of the diesel, which I liked. I bailed because of the deal I was offered. 46.5k list, purchased for 32.5k. My 2015 Eco was the HFE version with vinyl seats and no options. I wanted to upgrade for all the options and also 4wd.

The new truck is very nice. It does fine pulling away from a stop. The E torque gives it a nice kick from stopping. The truck passes ok but not as fast as my GDE tuned eco. It has less torque and less acceleration than the ECO with GDE. The transmission is still learning and it is fine. The stop / start works fine and you get used to it. I am getting 19.5 mpg on the computer display. If I were you i would drive it and take whatever you are planning to tow with you. I don't tow much so I can't help you there. I drove the Ford F-150 with the 3.5 turbo engine. The Ram has a nicer ride but the F-150 with the 3.5 twin turbo is clearly the better engine. But the F-150 with the 3.5 twin turbo would have been a LOT more money.

Can the stop/start be turned off?

You would have to take it to a tuner to do that for you.

I mean temporarily. Is't there a button that will shut it off until the next time you restart the truck?

 

[cs in Alabama]

Oh, sure. Put the AC on Max AC and it does not shut off. Or you can put it in Park at a light

While we are on the subject

Possible Reasons The Engine Does Not Autostop

Prior to engine shut down, the system will check many safety

and comfort conditions to see if they are fulfilled. In

following situations, the engine will not Autostop:

• Driver’s seat belt is not buckled.

• Driver’s door is not closed.

• The vehicle is on a steep grade.

• Cabin heating or cooling is in process and an acceptable

cabin temperature has not been achieved.

• HVAC is set to full defrost mode at a high blower speed.

• Engine has not reached normal operating temperature

• Engine temperature too high.

• The battery is charging.

• The transmission is not in DRIVE.

• Hood is open.

• Vehicle is in 4LO transfer case mode.

• Accelerator pedal input.

• Excessive 12 volt loads.
