2019-2020 ram 1500 Reliability

[2020 North Edition]

I have 2019 Laramie with 14k on it. I always use 87 octane and I never hear knocks or pings even when towing. So far this truck has been everything I expected and more. The drive trains on these trucks are not particularly new and they have been tried and tested for many years now. I feel like the engine and trans will be the least of your worries if you follow the maintenance schedule.

Awesome love hearing that. Literally doing the paperwork for my new truck now

Based on the fact that we have had a discussion on following the maintenance schedules, i posted an excel copy of the maintenance schedule that can be downloaded.

Are you using the correct oil when you change your oil and are you using 89 octane gas?

I am using 91 because it pings on everything else, and the dealership performs all maintenance.

Pings under load or with normal driving?

I’ve got approx. 13100 miles on mine, and haven’t had a single issue with it yet. I drive it hard from time to time, and this HEMI just loves it. You’ve got to give it the juice from time to time, it’s built for it!

My only complaint is that the dealer won’t fix a weird clunk I sometimes get when turning while going up a parking lot ramp, but it doesn’t always do it. The truck is under warranty for a while yet, so I’m not too worried.

The 2019 was a definite upgrade from my 2017. I absolutely love this vehicle. It’s more nimble and drives much nicer. Best truck on the market, hands down.
