I review my 2022 RAM 2500 and Ram 1500 4WD LOW and explained how 4wd low works, when to use and how to use it properly. I also talk about common 4wd low myths. I explained why 4wd low is the best tool for off-roading in any RAM truck. What is going on today guys! I hope every one is having a good week.
