2025 Tungsten - Good/Bad

[Ramit392]

Ramit392, does your truck have the MFT? I’m on my 2nd Retrax cover. My previous cover fit 6.5’ beds and when I got my 2022 I had to replace it because of that damn 5.7’ bed.
Anyway, my previous cover had very little water intrusion with a standard tailgate. But the 5.7’ bed with the MFT is a different animal. Huge gaps at the back end. I did buy a rubber seal kit which did help the situation, but I do get water inside at the rear. Not a ReTrax issue really, just a design to have the MFT gate

Hate to hear that. My truck just has the standard remote tailgate, not the MFT. I had to change the bed rails for the Retrax to fit and take off the bed rails that came with the truck to connect the bak-fip ,but my cargo rail tie downs were unaffected. It don't leak even going through car wash.

I believe they did the 2-button reset, but the batteries were also disconnected. Proximity wakeup is still not working along with some other strange anomalies such as my sideview mirrors not remembering their preset position every day or so. I'm also not sure my AEB is working, but do not have an active warning on the dash. I'll head back to the dealer when I have a consistent/active error.

I had the AEB and BSW alerts this morning again. BSW triangles in the side mirrors lit solid. I pulled over once, shut it off, opened and closed doors. It didn’t reset. I tried it about an hour after I parked it and it was cleared again.
The truck is spotless clean. Like showroom… so pretty sure it’s not something on a camera or sensor.

My proximity wake up is not working at all either.

I also have the tow mirrors and the cameras come on the nav screen when I activate the turn signal. This setting keeps turning off every few days and I have to go into settings and turn it back on.

Minor but annoying.

What is this proximity wake up thing? Just kidding! Mine is turned on and hasn't worked yet either.

PWU does not function on mine either. I just assume it's coming out in a few years like the cell phone as a key function.

Same exact thing with me.

Same exact thing with me.

Mirror camera issue too?

 

[Ramboy13]

Mirror camera issue too?

Yes. It seems to reset back to default of OFF every time I shut the truck off.

Same thing happens to me a couple times a month. I’ve said it before….
Every day is a new adventure.

Yea ok. My standard TG was much more watertight. That said, the MFT is awesome. Along with Ramboxes, air suspension and MFT are a no compromise. Probably would just have to order again.

After a 9 month wait, I finally received my RAM Tungsten from Mark Dodge. After gleaning a lot of information from users on this forum, I wanted to share my experiences after 4 days and 1100 miles:

Good Stuff:
1. Purchased through Mark Dodge (Anthony and team) in Lake Charles LA (I live in MO). The purchase process went well, the price I paid was very fair and in-line with what Mark Dodge offers all buyers. Delivery, and trade-in was seamless and quick. The only minor issues during acceptance were no digital keycard was available (will be sent to me), and the lumbar seat control didn't work; service manager was aware of this problem but did not have a solution. This should have been disclosed. Even with these minor nits, I would still highly recommend Mark Dodge.
2. The truck runs and drives exceptionally well. No drivetrain issues at all, very powerful and smooth.
3. Ride quality is exceptional, as is the cabin comfort.
4. Klipsch sound system is great and as good as if not better that the Bowers and Wilkens system in my Volvo.
5. Hands free driving was easy to use and worked very well (used on and off for at least 150 miles). It did feel to me there was a tendency for the system to hug the left side of the drive lane, but I got used to it.
6. Seat massage function is great.

My first impressions were really good until halfway through my road trip when things started going wrong.

Not so good stuff:
1. Already mentioned the lumbar seat control issue and later found that none of the seat controls in the Uconnect system work (with exception of massage).
2. Automatic Emergency breaking stopped working - service required message.
3. Blind spot monitoring stopped working - service required message.
4. Hands free driving stopped working - service required message.

I don't have any codes for the above issues yet but will share when/if I get them. Taking the truck into the dealer tomorrow and hoping this doesn't turn into a protracted ordeal. At this point I'm pleased with my purchase and expect the issues I'm having to be worked out. That said, this kind of stuff should not happen to start with and point to SW and/or HW quality control problems at the factory. I'll follow-up with dealer fixes.

I wanted to buy one so bad for travel...
"Hands Free Driving"... took it on a test drive and it was subpar. Ok on the interstate but terrible on the state highways and roads.
AND NO HEMI, NO THANK YOU.

I read your comment as "roads" being different than interstates and state highways. If that's correct, then it's worth mentioning that ADA is not supported on "roads".

Hands free only on limited access divided highways/interstates, I believe. There is a map on the Mopar site.
