Interesting to see that reliability is improving according to that article, mine has had (still has) every problem listed there. The main issues for me is an erratic shifting transmission that sometimes is silky smooth and sometimes absolutely terrible. Also the occasional time when the dash...

This is my attempt to be somewhat useful to the forum; Talking to my service advisor on my 5th trip to the dealer in less than 6k, he said there is a software (perhaps more accurately firmware) available to the module that is related to SPAAK . He did not elaborate nor did I ask any additional...

Great to see someone not having any issues, the way it should be. My experience has been terrible, yesterday my truck was towed back to the dealer for the second time in the last 6 weeks. Hopefully yours will continue to give you plenty years free of issues.

For me, I’ve had enough issues that I would not recommend. My problems include trailer lights, was going to pull a flat bed with brakes, but lights wouldn’t work, yet we connected another truck and worked just fine. Transmission shifting issues, alignment, the steering wheel is turned to the...

Fairly sure mine was. Plenty of issues in the first 3k miles to the point that we were considering a durango to replace our suv but decided on anything but a stellantis product.

My batteries also failed at just over 3k miles. Way back in the day when sears was a thing and diehard was a decent battery johnson controls used to make their batteries. A google search appears to confirm my suspicion that very few companies actually make batteries nowadays and it's a crap...

Much to my chagrin, my 25 laramie with less than 4k miles now has a dead battery. Amusingly when I pushed the start button there was a warning message on the screen that said "parking brake unavailable". Only 4 months ago I got this truck and has been nothing but problems, and my dealer could...

I did not try a different trailer. To expand on that, I started the trip and everything worked great, about an hour later lost connection to the trailer. After shutting down the truck trailer would work again for a few min then disconnect again. My trailer is all LED but since the taillights on...

I looked and yes, the key still shows up in the phone wallet. Also can confirm that I was able to lock and unlock the truck with the phone in my pocket, but did not try to start it. I believe the fob was far away enough. Appears that although my subscription is expired the phone as key continues...

There was one occasion where I did exactly that to unlock the truck. However, keep in mind that when I walked up to the truck and pulled the door handle (several times) and nothing happened there was immediate frustration (borderline anger). Took me a minute but tapping the phone to the handle...

Thanks to everyone for your replies. Currently going to hold on doing anything to this truck until I can have a reasonable expectation the dealer can fix the horrible shifting issues it has. 3 months old and 3k miles and it's scheduled for it's second trip to the dealer next week.

Greetings everyone. I previously wrote that I have the phone as a key and can give some feedback. So far that feature has been very unreliable for me. Several times I've had to use the key card to get home because it wouldn't detect the phone. After that happened multiple times I started...

Greetings fellow board members. Looking at the oem electric running boards 82219228AB and the only place I can find them is the mopar store. The pricing seems to be all over, depending on what dealer is selling them. Some advertise a lower price but then the shipping is astronomical, found one...

I too test drove a tundra and was on the fence between that and a ram. Settled on a laramie because I liked the interior and body better. My recommendation is not to buy a 2025. Mine has issues with a terrible shifting transmission and weird glitches with the electronics that are very annoying...

I have similar issues as you have which is highly disappointing. This is my first RAM as I had fords for a long time but hated the transmission on 2020, never shifted right and ford wouldn't fix it. They claim the transmission wasn't slipping, it's now called a flareup and deemed "acceptable" so...
