    RAM 1500 owners...Tell me the pros and cons. I'm trying to decide which pickup to buy. Edit: I bought a '24 RAM 1500 Limited! Yippee!

    I bought a 2021 Ram Rebel, 5.7 etorque new from the dealer. I'll go with the good stuff first. It's a great looking truck, it's got plenty of power, and in the 22,000 miles I've driven it, the drivetrain has never given me even a hint of trouble. It's a great driving vehicle, both in the...

    Low mileage '21

    It's all a crap shoot, and there's no amount of thinking/analysis you can do up front that will change how they built it at the factory. Once it leaves the factory, it's just gonna be what it's gonna be. I bought my 2021 new and it's given me nothing but problems. Water leaking into the cab...

    Screen died, then came back

    I've got the 12 inch screen in my 2021 Rebel. I turned the radio off the other day, and then it wouldn't come back on. The screen was black, and no data of any type would show. About an hour later I got in the truck to leave and is still wouldn't work. When I got to my destination I turned...

    lemon exchange question

    I'm in this exact position with regard to more than a month out of service. How big of a pain was the process?

    What's your experience with your local RAM dealer's service dept.

    Mine gets a 2 out of 10 rating. I've dealt with them a bunch since my truck has spent over a month in the shop since I bought it new.

    Washing the truck.

    Agree. I use that pole mounted sponge/mop and the entire truck goes so fast. I kick myself for not buying one years earlier.

    Washing the truck.

    Stand in the bed with one of those poles that has a sponge on the end. Two minutes and you're done.

    New truck question. Speaker noise when first open door normal?

    I've got a 2021 Rebel, and I've not heard that noise. I hear a bunch of other stuff, but not that one. :)

    I hope someone else's truck does this too...

    One of the quirks on my 2021 Rebel is that when I push the fan button to raise or lower the fan speed, in addition to changing the fan speed, it occasionally changes the song on my phone too. It's done this 6 or 7 times now. I have an Android phone, and I stream Spotify while driving. I'll be...

    Safety Recall

    My truck randomly quit on me a few weeks ago, just died while driving low speed, threw itself in park, and slammed on the emergency brake. I got my letter last week, and it was going in the shop for other work, so I'm having them do that too while it's there. I hope this truck starts acting...

    Truck stopping on its own.

    Today I was pulling up to the gas pump in my 2021 Ram Rebel, 4x4, 5.7 etorque, 17,000 miles. Everything that can be turned off with regard to the truck having the ability to hit the brakes on its own, has been turned off. As I slowly rolled the last few feet at maybe 2 MPH to line up with the...

    Panoramic Sunroof Question

    I avoided the sunroof, but still have a leak. It took the dealer six weeks and two attempts to fix the rear window leak on my truck. First they tried the 3rd break light, didn't work. Then they replaced the entire rear window. There is no escaping the possibility of a leak in these trucks...

    The Great Air Dam Debate

    The idea they are pushing is that by reducing wind turbulence under the vehicle (with the air dam and shutters) they reduce the drag coefficient (improve aerodynamics), which improves mileage (lowers fuel consumption), and therefore reduces emissions. Ultimately, they are trying to sell a...

    The Great Air Dam Debate

    Take this one with a big grain of salt: "Detroit — Mike Manley, head of FCA US LLC's Ram brand, described the automaker's newest pickup truck design as "a no-compromise approach to the full-size truck segment" when it made its Jan. 15 debut at the North American International Auto Show. With...

    Slight Whine on Deceleration in 2022 Hemi eTorque

    Mine made some weird noises at various times during the first 10,000 miles, but after that it's been quiet as a mouse. Here's another post on it: Etorque generator noise

    If you've had the rear window leak...

    Yeah, they had a glass dealer come to them and do it, so this was a bit of a hybrid operation from start to finish. They're ordering the parts to fix the stuff they damaged, but I cleaned my own carpet rather than put my truck back into a slow, inefficient dealer who has zero regard for the...

    If you've had the rear window leak...

    How long did it take? It's not escaping my attention that they are replacing the bad design, with an exact copy of the bad design. If they were replacing my window with an upgraded version that fixes the problem then I'd be more comfortable with it. As it is, it seems like a matter of odds or...
