    Always great points of view coming from these guys. I own a '19 1500 Limited with 5.7 and 4x4. Traded in my '15 F150 4x4 ecoboost. I tow, haul and drive it everywhere. I'm getting 17-19mpg on the highway and 14mpg when loaded down with 7k lbs. I've had 2 issues which occured within less than 100 miles of purchase: A/C (they added freon-problem solved) and the Entertainment system (would turn and off - they replaced it under warranty). Other than those issues, no problems at all with 13k miles on the clock. It's all based on what you expect and how you use it. GL with your decision, very satisfied with mine.

But, everyone's experience is different, and maybe I have just gotten lucky. With that said, this has been the best truck I have ever owned. The air ride suspension is truly remarkable.

    I bought my first FCA product in many many years back in 2015 when my wife convinced me to buy a 2500 Heavy Duty 4x4 with the 6.4 Hemi and 4:10 gear ratio. I'd avoided all Chrysler products for generations because of concerns over reliability, even though they've always made some really good looking products. Having always been a Chevy guy, and had great experiences with Chevy trucks, I reluctantly yielded to my wife's insistence and ordered the Ram 2500 Laramie, loaded up just how I wanted it.
    I had the Ram for 5 years, and even though it only had 28,000 miles on it when I traded it in, most of those miles were spent towing my 7500 lb boat, my 10,000 lb toy hauler, or one of several other trailers. I ended up loving that truck, and had basically zero issues with it. The interior was very nice, the ride was firm, but very comfortable for long trips, the ample electronics never had any issues, the engine ran flawlessly, NVH issues were nonexistent, the infotainment was intuitive, and the Alpine stereo system was about as good a factory sound system as I've ever heard in a truck and the fit and finish was great. My only complaints about the truck were the 6 speed transmission, which always worked flawlessly, but was really not a good match for the 6.4 Hemi engine when towing heavy because of the gear spacing, and the crappy Firestone tires that were about worn out in 28,000 miles, and were garbage on wet or snowy roads.
    I liked the Ram so much that I just traded it for a 2019 Ram 3500 4x4 Limited with the HO Cummins and Aisan transmission. I hope this one turns out to be just as good as last one, but just in case I bought the 84 mo /85,000 mile Premium extended warranty because one look at the high tech interior of the new Ram will make you shutter at the thought of all the things that could go wrong and the likely cost of getting them fixed!

To read a lot of these comments people act like every Ram will fall apart before you get it home. Where I live I think Ram outsells Chevy and Ford, and everyone I know who actually owns a Ram seems really like them and have good luck with their Rams. A good friend of mine is the Service Manager at the local Ram dealership and he gives me the honest scoop about common issues and problems with the Rams. Seems like typical stuff all brands deal with! BTW, I checked, and the local Ford, Chevy, and GMC dealerships all have big service shops too, and they all seem to have their respective bays occupied by their own brand of truck at any given time! I wonder why if they are all so reliable... hummm.

Basically, if reliability is ALL you care about, get a Tundra. But if you want a really nice balance of all the different reasons people buy a truck for, Ram is the best.

The only issue I've had is one of the retracting side mirrors needed a replacement motor. Also the air conditioning is not quite up to the task of cooling down the large interior space.
    I find it surprising how hard they keep pushing the reliability issue as it really seems to be based on the experience of their friend. I don't doubt he's had problems-there can be lemons in every model-but they need something more scientific. Larger sample set.

    Leasing my third Ram 1500, a 2020 Rebel. Most refined one yet. I must be a lucky man...I have really had no problems with these trucks (my first one a 2015 Ecodiesel). The last one (2017 Laramie) had to have a piece of plastic bed trim replaced under warranty and a few software updates. Cannot comment on how reliability will be long term, but it is evident Ram is serious about making class leading trucks. Hopefully in reliabilty too.

    I bought a Rebel a few months ago, no problems, I love the truck. I bought the 7 year bumper to bumper warranty even though I usually dont. The reason I bought the warranty is because everything is electronic, yet the new lifetime warranty from Ram dont cover the electronics in the truck, and that can be expensive. I did not buy the EcoDiesel because in my area there was only 1 with the options I wanted and it was 10k over the Hemi, along with .75 cents per gallon more and DEF, it would have taken about 7-9 years to recoup the money.
    The issues, the split tailgate is nice except if the truck is leaning towards the passenger side on an incline the larger gate wont stay open. If I use just the larger gate I have to open and close the small portion then the larger portion or the light and message will come up as being open on the dash. This is my own fault, unless you get the package for adding USB/12V plugs in the back seat, its not added. I did not notice this until after I bought the truck so now I will have to run a 12V and USB to the rear of the truck so my son can plug in items.
    13.5 MPG city 20 MPG hwy for non-Etorque Hemi, dont mind the sticker that says 19 and 24.
    I love the small tv in the dash, its not as distracting once you get used to it, and find what you need. The RamBox is awesome, you can fit a ton of stuff in those boxes. They have drain holes for easy removal of melted ice. The boxes in the rear floor are also great and holds a ton of stuff. So far so good, I love it. The Hemi sounds great and pick up is awesome, very smooth with this trans.
    No mechanical issues so far, but of course it wouldnt because I bought the extended warranty. Fingers crossed.

    I’ve had my 2013 Ram for 7 years, 5.7 litre Laramie...Have not had any issues (apart from a couple recalls all covered). I live on an acreage in the country. I’ve towed with it. It still mostly feels brand new. Not even a rattle, interior is quieter still then some newer vehicles I’ve been in. In fact, aside from the lack of Apple CarPlay, even the infotainment still feels better than a lot of new ones. The V8 has great power (averaging 14 l/100kms, I think about 17-18 mpg?...with old 6 speed though). My in-laws all have 2500/3500s some with several hundred thousand miles. I would easily buy another one. One comment about the ride though, is it does ride better than any other truck because of the rear independent suspension...despite having identical cabs on the 3500s, the ride is so much worse in normal driving.

I dove in and have been very happy so far. got 3500 miles no trouble with anything except the dreaded cracked back window frame issue. I documented with the dealer but chose not to fix because it doesn't leak. Being an older fellow I have learned that sometimes it's best to not monkey with something UNLESS YOU HAVE TO...

    I work on cars for a living and i can't tell you how many almost new low mileage Chrysler products are just cheap and falling apart. One guy had a new Chrysler 300 and the interior door panel was falling off. Plus the level of cheapness is unbelievable. Cheap plastic everywhere and higher class materials like leather is just cheap and low quality. They are also very difficult to service because Chrysler engineers seem like they have a vendetta against mechanics/technicians. Simple things like oil changes and battery replacement/service is a nightmare on many of their cars. On many Chrysler cars you have to remove the front wheel and inner fender to access the battery. Like it was totally impossible to put it under the hood.

    Agreed. Sarcasm was perfect. Also agreed on the truck when I drove them, these latest rams are fantastic. But I also have heard the anecdotal reports about reliability and at those prices I don’t think I can buy one

    In my family we had the 2006 ram 1500 and we only had problems with the radiator and shocks in 13 years. We currently have the 2014 (+70,000 miles) and 2019 ram 1500 (+10,000 miles) and we have no problems. So we haven’t had major problems like what mentioned in the video. And honestly the 2006 ram 1500 had those problems because of poor maintenance.

    I've had mine for about 9 months and It's been a love/hate thing ever since. Interior is by far the best part but that being said, it's been back to the dealer 8 times. 3 of those times were for the screen not turning on and when it would, it would freeze. The head unit has since been changed and so far so good. Last major issue has the been the air suspension...FCA has been offering it for some years now, you think they would have figured out how to make it reliable. So i'll probably be trading it in with in the year, if i'm having this many issues so early on, what's coming next?

I have a 2015 2500 6.0 work truck that's had nothing but electrical issues since day one. both wiring harness for driver and passenger door has been replaced because the wiring was too short, overextended and broke some wires that control the power windows and locks. Also the seat cushion fabric is very I know has ripped on the driver's seat exposing the foam. Only 60k on the clock. They sure don't make them like they used too, too many electronics to mess up

    '02 Ram 1500 with no issues in 8 years of ownership. '14 Jeep Rubicon with not a single issue in 5 years. '19 Ram 1500 Longhorn with a couple recall items (software update and windshield wiper), and one power folding mirror that needed replacing (under warranty), but so far has been fantastic.
    The 5.7L Hemi has been around forever. I specifically looked for a model w/out the L-ion battery. If I had any real issues, I'd be honest about them, but all of my FCA products have been exceedingly reliable. In fact, the only cars I had issues with throughout my life were an Infiniti Q50 (electronic control unit replacement) and Hyundai (transmission issues).

    I've been leasing one for almost a year now, and its really fantastic except for the reliability. Trans problems, 4x4 problems, auto start dosen't work anymore, and the battery has been replaced 3 times for a reason FCA cant figure out. I'll keep leasing them ever couple years so long as the rates stay cheap. That said I think you'd be out of your mind to actually buy one.

    Buy one and you’ll soon discover that yeah, it’s “always something” not working right. We have Rams at work. They’re swell for about 30-40k miles and then it’s warranty repairs every 6 months. Transmissions, lifters, electronics, etc. Most dependable feature? “Check Engine” light.

    I'm on my second Ram, I purchased my 4th gen in 2017, and so far it has been mechanically reliable. Can't say the same for my 3rd gen I owned for almost 10 years.
    I swore off Ram (Dodge at the time) after that vehicle, but the ride comfort, interior finish, fuel economy, and price brought me back. I also purchased an extended warranty this time around.
    So far my '17 has only had "minor" issues, but I believe they're quality related like you mentioned.
    Water was leaking in, which damaged the rear insulation panel, head liner, and carpet.
    Initially they thought it was the third brake light, but it was the body seam along the roof line.
    They had to remove the windshield to change the headliner, and now I have rattles and fitment issues I didn't have before. I will address those on my own as I run a small business and can't keep taking my vehicle back for repairs.
    Water leaking into the interior as been an issue for years, and they still haven't properly addressed it.
    They each have issues, Ford is dealing with oil consumption on the 5.0, warping dashes, etc.
    I don't think the perfect vehicle exists unfortunately.
