Curious to how this ended. I have a 2023 1500 Crew with 6.4ft bed. My tail gate refuses to open. I press the button and have to lean my full body weight against it. Dealer "adjusted" it twice. I want to flatbed swap it. I cannot find a single photo of 6.4ft with a flatbed. I found 1 YouTube...

No other rust issues. Coworker and my father in-law have 2019s that had the same bolts rot off. Bummer on the f150. My brother ran his F150, 2010, 4.6L 3v 6sp auto to 223k miles by 2020. My dad's 2010, 4.6L 2v 4spd auto had 250k on it in 2020. My 2012 5.0L 6spd had 238k in 2023. My father also...

It was a leased turn in. It was 3 yrs old with 38k miles. Mid ohio, North Central ish.

Dealer said on the phone that it's a $100 diagnostic free and " most likely we won't be able to duplicate those issues" referring to the PRND and 4wd selector. I completely forgot about the exhaust fell apart on vacation in NC last June. I had zero tools. Bought a C-clamp and it held the...

My dump trailer was too much for my old f150. My daughter was born. I wanted the ram 1500 cc 6.4ft bed, and it is nearly the same size as the first gen "mega cab" dodges. The numbers made it seem like it the right fit. I know it's way better at towing than my f150, but its still not a 3/4 ton...

I have never met anyone who makes payments on their kidney stones. 🤣 The grass may not be greener on the other side of the fence, but I can less mad over there.

My truck was a lease turn in. Had routine maintenance. One "accident" (rear bumper and tailgate).. Father-in-law bought a 2019 brand new. I fell in love with the interior layout and the ride quality. I spent years browsing online. Big horn level two/lone star is what decided on. Finding a crew...

These new thermostats are electronically controlled anyway. I couldn't swap it if I wanted to. My Ram is the biggest pile of garbage I have ever owned. I got on here today trying to find "service shifter" thread. 4wd selector went wild early Jan, where it wouldn't work. My PRND works, just has...

I have ranted on multiple threads on each individual problem. Just curious how many other people have 5+ issues with their Ram. Back round - 2020 Ram 1500 crew 6.4ft (Lwb) 5.7L. Purchased Dec 2023 with 38k miles. Now has 55k miles. I previously owned a 2012 f150 from 2016 to 2023/ 138k to 238k...

My first 6 vehicles I ever owned were $1000 beaters. I put 180F thermostats in them. Heat is the enemy to all combustion engines. Manufacturers make engines run hot to get better fuel economy for the trade off of hot oil, and that equals more engine wear.

I told my Father-in-law about mine. He went and looked at his, (black headliner) Cracked and leaking the same as mine. He bought a 2019 brand new. He has an extended warranty. Ram is making him jump through hoops to get his back glass replaced. If he has to play games with them, there is no hope...

Yeah, mine smells like coolant even after the fix. Engine doesn't overheat. I hate this truck runs at 200-210F and not 180F

I didn't pay for any glass coverage, it was an option, just like rental vehicle or rental reimbursement for my insurance provider.

I am worried about ice, water or corrosion on electrical equipment located behind the back seat. I saw one video on YouTube, where the key fob detection module thingy was corroded located back there. Acted like the fob was dead. Left the truck stranded.

Nevermind. My 7 second video is too large of a file. Trimmed to 3 seconds and says not allowed on this extension.
