2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

Okay, I searched pretty extensively and I wasn't able to find an answer to this, or anyone else having a similar problem.
This is my second truck with the Air Suspension, the 2019, and now this 2025. I had no issues on my 2019, but I'm having trouble getting this thing to listen to me.
1. When I'm in the truck, 98% of the time, pushing the button to change the height, either when stopped or moving, etc, doesn't do anything. NO message on the screen that selected ride height isn't available, no change in position. But after no discernable sequence of holding it down, double clicking, and anger pressing, etc... Suddenly it will start to change and either go to where I selected, OR give me the message that I'm trying to go too far and it's not allowed.
2. When I'm out of the truck and I use the remote to drop it like it's hot, I rarely get anything to happen. Usually, I will get a single beep, followed by 2 beeps in succession. But it doesn't lower. This is with the doors closed, tailgate up, etc.. Doesn't matter if it's running or not. Extra Frustrating because I like to use this feature to lower my vehicle under my trailer hitch, and the raise it to the trailer.
3. Speaking of raising it to the trailer, what the heck is the deal now with not being able to raise the truck if the door is open.. If I''m stepping out to move the hitch over the ball, then raising the truck to meet the trailer, I'm going to have to open the door, and don't want to sit there and wait inside the vehicle, I want to go out and make sure it's working....

unhook batterie for an hour hopefully will reset system to talk to each other
 
APPROACH LIGHTING: Dealer says fixed. Also says, headlights coming on is dependent on ambient lighting (I assume not street lighting but sunshine). Tested SAT in the garage repeatedly. Hopefully the below will help someone. They said they used the manual for the reprogram.IMG_9161.jpeg

I can certainly give that a shot. Just the main battery or do I have to unhook both of them? I've actually had to have the truck towed twice because my battery ran down so low I couldn't even lock it and it wouldn't accept a charge. What I would give for that top 12 volt power to be switched.
 
I still don't think the Proximity Wake-up and Headlight Animation work properly on my Tungsten. If I unlock with FOB, the headlight animation works. But if I just walk up to the truck with the FOB in my pocket, nothing happens. I have all the options turned on, with time settings other than 0. I left the truck locked, and walked into the store (or work or wherever), and then later approach the truck. Never get anything to happen unless I press the unlock button on the FOB. Am I missing something?
 
From everything I've read, these truck don't do that. I think by proximity, they mean you press the fob within it's working proximity and everything lights up.

That's what I was starting to think. I read the manual again, and it made me want to ask the question here. It really sounds like you just have to have the FOB.
From the owner's manual:
Proximity Wake-Up — If Equipped
This feature is enabled/disabled within the Uconnect system, and is activated when the operator approaches the driver’s door, passenger’s door, or liftgate with a valid key fob on their person. Some exterior and interior lights will illuminate in order to provide an increased sense of welcome and security as the operator approaches the vehicle in the dark. “Headlight Illumination On Approach” must be selected and set to a time value other than zero within Uconnect Settings for Proximity Wake-Up to activate.
The doors may be locked or unlocked for this feature to activate, as long as the ignition is in the OFF position, or during a Remote Start event. It will not activate if the doors are locked and the ignition was placed in the ON/RUN position.

They fixed my approach lighting by reprogramming the dashboard.

I got this error today on my radio after a failed update yesterday. Has anyone seen this?

How close is everyone's keys when truck is off.Truck in drive way keys in garage nothing work key has to be 25 feet away or in a metal box i had same problem all winter then realized my key fob was being left to close to truck.Now approach light work every time..
 
I have a couple of questions. Does anyone know what the dimensions are for the aux battery? I've been searching everywhere and I cannot find any good info on it.

As far as updates go....I have it set up to connect to the wifi in the truck itself. Will this be good enough or do I need to set it up for an external wifi source to get the updates? Is there a way to request an update? I've seen quite a few people here say that they got an update recently but I have not had any prompts or anything saying there is an update ready.

Last question....also concerning the ota updates. In all of the screenshots here it says it has to be done with the ignition off. But if you turn off the ignition the delay to turn off the accessories only goes up to 10 minutes or you open the door. So how does it finish an update when they all seem to state they take 20+ minutes to complete?
 
For those with the rain sensing wipers, how are they for you? Mine start out okay when the rain starts, but eventually end up too fast for the conditions. If I then manually play with the speed via the intermittent wiper settings on the stalk, it’s okay for a bit, but then gets too fast at some point.

Not sure if this is user error and I’m somehow affecting the speed.

My updates always seem to come when I get to work and shut the truck off. The prompt comes on and I accept it. The radio continues to play and you can't start the truck. I just walk away and when I come back it is done.
