So I'm a week and 500 miles into my new Ram and boy I am really impressed. Ride quality is unreal, tech is just fun and super responsive, power and pickup is adequate (came from a tuned 6.2 so it's not quite that good). Interior space is massive and the Rambox storage is a treat. The 12" screen is a must IMO, the adaptive cruise is very nice as well.
There are a few things that annoy me or will need some tweaking. It's going to sound like a long list but they are really all minor issues and I'd knowingly accept them all and still be in the truck.
Truck came with a pretty solid pull to the right so needs an alignment. Since I'm going to have the dealer put on the 2" level and spacers they said they would do it after at no charge.
I have the dang wind noise inside. Sounds like a window is cracked. It's 50% better on recirculate AC so need to either do the vent baffles mod or find where that is coming from. Disappointed they didn't do more sound control on the rear wall considering the overall quality of the rest of the interior. I've already ordered the cab/bed weatherstrip.
The drivers window down alone has the unbearable buffering (which I've seen a pool noodle fix here someplace).
If I jam the HK system any significant bass sounds like the license plate of some teenagers Civic with 2 bazookas in the trunk. Rattles. Need to figure out what that is and why it's happening, sounds like interior trim or something at or on the speaker.
The Rambox lid fit just seems a bit off but I've seen the tweaks for those here as well.
My A/C works but I feel like it takes it a hot minute (pun intended). It has to really stay cranked for a while to cool off. All black interior is literally on fire when I get in so I think tint will help significantly.
And I freaking hate the flashing red light on the Ramcharge. Why? Just make it solid red if you need to tell me it's not charging but if I plug in for Android Auto and stick my phone there I've got this never ending red flash - silly.
The list of mods and tweaks is pretty long for a brand new truck but most are out of my desire to play with this beauty and make it my own a bit. I'll keep everyone posted on those and any fixes I try or come across as I go. Thanks to everyone here for the wealth of info!
