40,000 trucks free miles

[Brent T]

2019 Ram 1500 Laramie. Bought February of 2019. Have 40,000miles on it now and never been to shop. Thought I would share since there are a lot of complaints on here.
Over half those miles would be on gravel/dirt roads and the rest on rough ****ty hiways. Only 2 complaints, cab is dusty, and climate control is mediocre.

Thanks. Reports like yours help balance out the “truck sucks” posts.

Almost 30k on mine now. Zero issues. But, I can say this in all honesty... After nearly 30k miles, I have to say, these stock tires suck. There is still legal tread left on mine, but I am going to replace them next week.

Typical just barely adequate stock. Unless you upgrade and are even lucky that the factory upgrades are decent, there’s not too much that can be said for OEM rubber. A few cars come with Michelins but certainly not our RAMs.
keep us posted as to what you buy.

30,000 miles, stock tires did indeed suck, were shot at 25,000 miles. New Michelins should be better. Otherwise, truck has only had regular maintenance. Purchased it new December 2018. Just added a new FCA product to my family...2019 Redeye Challenger. That one, I will keep for a LLLOOONNNGGG time.

I’m at 33,500 with no issues. No problems with the 12” upgrade, and I’m very pleased with the factory Falkens.

36K on mine, zero problems, OEM Goodyears still have plenty of tread remaining, likely enough to get me through the summer easily.

Glad to see and read this. Thank you all for responding

Looks like I jinxed myself. Odometer 35664, on the way home I started getting the resonating on/off vibration sound that I have seen others describe that turne out to be a problem with the automatic noice canceling system. Now the issue is getting it in before the 3/36 expires and my 2 dealers are booked a minnimum of 2 weeks out.

Honestly, I am getting the Continental Terraincontact A/T in 275/60-20. Yes, I know the stock size is 275/55-20, but I like the way the 60 fills up the wheel well better. I think the stock gap is too large.

I had these on my 2014 Silverado and absolutely loved them. They worked great in rain, dry, sand at the beach and even not too bad in snow.

My 2001 Dodge 1500 SLT came with Michelins. Buddy swears by them.

26k miles.

One issue with a trip to the dealer which I would say is better than the other cars I’ve owned (BMWs)

Thanks Laura, with businesses in Ohio shutting down or reducing hours, the serice departments here are doing the same. Shortening weekday hours and closing weekends has created scheduling issues, and no matter who I contact my truck cant be seen for a couple more weeks, by then my bumper to bumper warranty will have expired.

 

[Nails]

I’m sure if you get it locked in before the mileage can work something out.

 

[james.h.morris68]

25K kilometres on mine. Not a single hiccup. Only change I’ve made is adding some BFG KO2’s and a CAI.

In response to the stock tire comments, the stock Falken Wildpeaks that come with the ORG have worked great in all conditions for me and I'm very happy with them. I've had the stock Goodyears on a previous truck, and I agree that those tires are terrible for everything except smooth dry pavement.

21,000 on mine now, and only complaint is brake squeal. Goes in Thursday for that
