Ram has introduced a larger 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment screen for the 2025 Ram 1500 lineup, and we finally got the chance to spend some quality time with it.

I am thinking of buying a new Ram Laramie. I had one overnight yesterday and put about 50 miles on it. I didn't think the 14.5 was any less responsive than the 10.5 in my '24 Durango. The Durango was bad at 1st but a factory reset took care of it. I have found uConnect 5 works best with only 1 profile. I don't know why they think 2 profiles are needed when all you want to store is different seating positions. You could do that in uConnect 4.
Incidentally I thought the Hurricane was awesome and I doubt I would miss my '16 Hemi Ram.
