We have a 2020 1500 Laramie. We love the truck and have had no problems with it. It has about 29k miles on it. I am a big fan of following factory recommended services, and not doing less, or more. I have found that the dealer where we bought the truck is constantly upselling service items that appear questionable (e.g., an alignment every 10,000 miles; an $850 dealer recommended service package that included the recommended air and cabin filter changes, but that was otherwise puffery like an "interior disinfecting", etc.)
So while we really like the truck, I am looking to find a shop of dealer that will do what Ram recommends, but not constantly upsell nonsense. At the same time, I appreciate the need to have people we trust to recommend things when appropriate, since a lot of things in the manual are now "inspect" and so there is some judgment involved around, for example, driveline fluids need to change. Another consideration is that we are likely to add a Mopar factory extended warranty when the factory bumper to bumper warranty ends in November, so dealer service is probably easier if something goes wrong with the truck, but it's not a requirement per se.
Finally, we are in the Maryland suburbs of DC. Any suggestions or leads appreciated. Thank you in advance.
