Maybe you got lucky with your RAM. Always hang onto a good truck that's for sure :) And yes, definitely the dealer network makes a difference as well over the lifespan of the vehicle. My own experience absolutely matches the dealer ratings you've mentioned here without knowing or looking that...

Well, I can tell you this. I've owned a 2020 RAM 1500 Limited, a 2020 Ford Raptor, a 2021 Ford Lariat and now my new GMC Sierra 1500 Denali. I've been on the hunt for the "perfect" truck. To me that means the toughness and durability you'd want out of a vehicle meant to handle tougher terrain...

Who knows AC1DD ... I'm not going to disagree with you, completely. I've owned the Raptor now for 5 weeks, and I don't disagree with you that Ford is almost up there with Chrysler for **** QC. Not quite as bad, but I've had a handful of things already. I mostly agree with your comment that...

I was initially more impressed with the RAM myself honestly. The interior sold me, and the good old Hemi. After driving both though, I much prefer physical controls and durability over the 12” touch screen and materials etc. that will be more prone to wearing out of failure. The main screen on...

How is that biased? That's called from experience ... I bought the RAM first, don't forget. That right there what you wrote, is called denial

Never said RAMs are the only ones that have problems. Their QC is just **** by comparison ... I'm only speaking from my personal experience. Night and day difference between the build quality of this Ford ... I've now spent 4 hours driving, and going over everything with a fine-toothed comb...

Forget Consumer Reports ... here's my report, and I got rid of this hunk of **** 2020 RAM before the 2 month mark. Pick up my new 2020 Ford Raptor this afternoon. Super reliable within 2 months of ownership, and 4,000KM Transmission clunk, on low to high speed transitions sometimes Take in for...

lol a little bit of both; impulsive and been thinking about it for a while, while becoming increasingly more uncomfortable with the RAM. I came from an Audi S5 Sportback, so completely new to trucks. I went out with the mrs. and took a drive in the 2020 Limited off the lot, and we both nodded it...

Yeah the seats themselves just in terms of size and the ability to move around and not feel ‘boxed in’ are nice. More of a feeling of sitting on a comfy couch especially with the air ride. That’s funny about your foot on the door panel storage bin lol I did that to get a more comfy position for...

Managed to fix the rattles for good - update: got rid of the RAM and bought a 2020 Ford Raptor.

I managed to come up with a solution to my RAm woes this weekend. Bought a 2020 Ford Raptor lol buh bye Chrysler. Reminded 20 years later why my family always said “if you want dependability and quality, don’t buy a Chrysler”. Sadly still true today.

Count another vote for uncomfortable left-foot positioning in this truck. Combined with the large seat depth (I'm 6'0"), on long drives this thing can leave you constantly twisting and moving your left foot around with nothing to rest it on. All imported high-end vehicles that I've driven and...

Does anyone know of any foot rests (dead pedals) and if it's relatively easy to install? I'm finding this truck is becoming increasingly more uncomfortable to drive for long distances with my left foot and leg constantly searching for a comfortable place to rest. A real ankle burner this truck...

Thanks @RamCares - this thing has the potential to be awesome, and I've already got my eye on the 2021 TRX to trade this thing in for if that turns out to be solid. Perhaps I should wait a couple years, and hopefully you guys continue on your goals (as I understand it) to improve quality. The...

Hi Mark @RamCares I was able to fix this on my own thankfully. I owned an Audi S5 ('18) for example and while I love this truck, the QC and attention to detail in a lot of places leaves a lot to be desired. Not up to the same standards as other brands, despite the price point being in line...
