Did I make a mistake?

Just picked up my new 2019 Ram 1500 Limited yesterday, so far only 3 issues :(

#1 while on a phone call via bluetooth if I put the volume of the uconnect system above 22 the person on the other end of a phone call hears a nonstop echo, anything below and it sounds fine for them.

#2 squeaking someplace on in the dash every time I go over a bump, ugh...

#3 If you start the truck via the keyfob while it is locked then walk up to the truck and pull the handle to open 1/2 the time it won't unlock, if you do it 2-3 times it will open.

The build date on my track is 9-18, was hoping they worked out most of the issues, guess not.

On the bright side, it is an amazing drive, so hopefully I can get these worked out and enjoy it for years to come.

I'll drop it at the dealer and see if they can sort it out.

Turn up the volume on your phone while you are on a Bluetooth call, you can then back down the radio volume. 22 is pretty loud, I wouldn’t be surprised at a feedback echo at that volume. I would actually call this issue normal on any vehicle.

If you place your hand on the handle and wait a few 10ths of a second the door will unlock. Not so much if you grasp the handle and pull, be patient.

It sounds like minor issues. Enjoy your new ride.
100% agree, must just be a Jeep/Ram thing, my 2018 Rubicon squeaked from the roof ($2 foam from Lowes fixed it) also.
On the bright side, the truck is amazing, what a ride!

Volume is at 100% on the phone, over 22 echo, 22 of less sounds fine. If anyone else has time can they check theirs? Even at 22 it is loud but sometimes it helps to go louder.

Yeah mine nothing happens, you have to move your hand away from the handle and back a few times then it senses it.

Make sure you adjust the volume in call. Just because the phone is at 100% does not mean it is 100% while in call. A good way to try this would be to go to Bluetooth music and while playing a song, adjust the volume on the phone.

Does it work the same on the passenger door? Either way, a trip to your favorite dealer is needed?

Well good news, I found the area that the factory didn't install correctly and with a strong bang of my fist we might have solved the squeak!

Trying to find a tanneau cover for a 2019 with Rambox, appears not many people make one, anyone have one currently?

I think the only covers for 2019 with Rambox (new style) that are currently shipping is Retrax and maybe Truxedo. Looks like all the BakFlip models are supposed to begin shipping in December or Janurary. I'm waiting for my truck to be delivered and am considering the Bak Revolver X4.

Thanks for the info, appreciate it.

Anyone know if the Rambox comes with the cargo bed divider from the factory or is that only included in the bed utility group? Seems odd, I have the rails in my truck already.

I'm pretty sure you have to get the BUG and Ramboxes to get the divider.
