Despite some flaws......

This truck is still a joy to drive, I just love it. For me, most of wrestling comes from the dealerships service department. Minor quality things but other than that I just love this truck. I just hope there are minor mods I can do to this truck maybe later in a couple of years. Less is more imho so tiny things interior wise that really pop.

What about you all,. What are some things you like about the 2019 ram, but things FCA dealerships could improve on?

Nothing! Absolutely Nothing!! These things are like any other thing that catches one's eye. You buy it because you really want it, and my RAM Limited was definitely not a "need," but a "want." Just like during the test drive, when there were ZERO complaints. It's sheer JOY to drive; quiet, smooth, fully equipped, and plain fun! It's imperfect because it's man made. It has minor quirks because it's the newest of its kind, and I wish the complainers and haters will give FCA a chance to work the quirks. They will. It IS the best looking truck (inside and out) on the road today, thus the most awarded this year. I've owned several RAMS, and my 2019 LTD bakes the cake!!

The interior is out of the ball park. No other domestic, and most foreign come close. The Detail, the Feel...What's left to say. Chevy and Ford have been put on notice, without a doubt.

What a truck! Fortunately I have had no major issues and only a couple minors, not even worth fussin over. I have had many, many trucks over the years and they all felt comfortable and I customized them to my likings. This ‘19 Ram is by far the most comfortable with the design, tech, and all the features. It is only a half ton but I feel very confident in this truck doing whatever I ask of it and doing it luxuriously!

Love the truck, but I’ve been waiting since delivery (beginning of September) for a fix on a minor issue (rear seat recline). It’s a darned good thing I don’t have any major issues!

Rides like a dream. Unfortunately, unacceptable quality control. Worst I've ever experienced bar none. Too much money to have such blatant issues. FCA needs to get their act together. I spend more time getting things fixed than driving it and it's a crying shame. If FCA gave a crap and had some pride in their product it would be the best truck out there. Just my 2 cents.

Agree, I am fortunate not to have issues. I feel for those who have. I too would be very frustrated for being excited about purchasing a new vehicle just to have loads of problems with it.

It's such a shame. It's a beautiful truck and I love how it rides but for 70k I shouldnt have to crawl under it and install the sunroof drains because some half assed idiot on the assembly line didnt give a crap about doing it themself and no one cares to check up on it. Just one of dozens of issues I have experienced to date and the list keeps getting longer. I'm trying my best to enjoy the truck but its exhausting me. Sorry for the negativity. I'm sure eventually I'll get it all sorted out.

I like the overhead door / roof rest handle ... they should put one in IMO.

I have a minor issue with Sirius Radio going back to the preview channel, but I'm hoping for an update. I'm also back and forth with the dealer regarding some paint defects, which they've committed to fixing. I know now to never purchase a vehicle in the pouring rain. I really feel for those having multiple minor issues, and/or major ones; and I sincerely apologize to those who legitimately complain about them (alluding to my initial comments). I only meant that comparatively, my RAM Ltd is the best of all I've previously owned, but this is just MY experience. If I had only a portion of the issues I've read in this forum, I'd be the loudest voice here. I wish all of you the best, and I can only hope that I don't experience some of the problems mentioned. It does make me keep a very close watch. If I do however, this forum seems to be the best place to find out how to resolve them, or to know that I'm not alone.

Best to you with your new rig.

Nicely said. Best to you with your new rig. Btw, I've called Sirius multiple times about the preview channel issue over the past few months and the most recent response I got (about 5 weeks ago) was it's a known issue with no fix yet. That response came only after i demanded to speak to a higher up because the rep I was speaking with was clueless. Clearly a Sirius issue so maybe someday we'll get it resolved at some point.

I agree MJP on the quality control of these trucks. I'm dealing with severe brake noise, rattling head liner, grocery list of uconnect bugs, and even though dealer pretty much says I'm crazy and color blind the truck is two different colors. My first RAM and I love the styling and ride/drive of the truck but for nearly 70K I shouldn't be having to turn up the radio to drown out the rattles and have all the neighbors looks to see what that horrible screeching is every time i back out of the drive. I also have clearcoat coming off the wheel, called the dealer the day after I got the truck and told them. Yesterday at the oil change and steering recall (Had to argue that a recall existed) service visit they came out and said I scratched the wheel and it's not their prob. It's not a scratch, clear is blistering up and flaking. About sick of this!

 

[RedRocketZ28]

I enjoy the truck but it's not without issue. I have the center console squeak, CarPlay issues, vibration issues, fuel economy is garbage, brake noise, and a few paint issues.

I went to my dealer with the small list of issues and ran into a nightmare. I was told I'd have a loaner/rental car ready for me but there wasn't one and the guy said there was nothing in the system about it. I got offered a ride home 30 minutes later and declined saying that I needed a vehicle and to just give me my truck back. They supposedly have a new center console lid on order and checked my radio for updates. He said there were no updates for my radio at this time so I showed him the TSB about it. I was told that it might not apply to my truck yet? I wasn't going to argue any further. Before taking the truck home he made sure to apologize to me for the wait and not having a loaner available. Also, he begged that I fill out the survey and that before I left any negative feedback I needed to call the service manager. Ha!

Anyway, that was two weeks ago and still no word on the console lid. I did receive a call yesterday about the recall, so at least they are now aware of that. I am still waiting for my trailer brake controller to come in and I plan on having them install it when I take it back for the rest of the issues. Hopefully, they don't screw up that install. I am tempted to just do it myself and then have them program it.

Outside of that, I do like the truck. I realize that nothing is perfect though and all vehicles have their issues. I can't wait to start towing with it this spring and see how it stacks up against my 2500 Suburban 8.1L I got rid of. I know it won't tow as well, but it should do fine pulling an open car trailer and a 26' boat.

 

[JDBob35a]

Truck pulls my 20' boat easily, like it's not even there, so I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised pulling your 26' as well. Now I pulled the enclosed car hauler with the vette in it over the weekend. That it didn't like at all.
That's why the F-250 Powerstroke is always on standby .

Yep, my experience with Sirius was identical to yours, except I had to call over and over to get past the clueless people. Finally, I demanded to speak with the supervisor's supervisor! ...Only to be told about the known issue. Wonder if they ever plan to fix it.

My only complaint and it's a really a minor one on the interior is actually the length of the actual turn signal stock. It's too short. I feel like if they extended the stock by an inch it would be so much better. It's much more of a deliberate motion to activate your turn signal. Like you have to "reach in" for it.
