almost 7,000 miles. I had the overhead light console replaced but I wouldn't chalk that up to a bad experience because....exactly like it SHOULD work for any manufacturer, I was given a loaner and they replaced it...what more could I ask for? Late May build, fully loaded Limited. I cannot say enough good things about this truck. Even the exterior is starting to edge out my love of the F150 Platinum...which is saying something lol. Anyone reading this, do yourself a favor and test drive one, then look at a forum of any vehicle you're cross shopping. The owner with the Lemon will command most of the attention but it absolutely does not speak for the group

Lol. Wish I could fully participate. I'm at the shop again. This is the 8th time at the dealer for the drivers side camera issue. I bet around 50-60% of these truck have some sort of "issue".

I know you've spoken to us before but has a case been created to document what's happening the camera in particular? Send us a direct message to discuss this in more detail.

So far, so good. I had the one "lurching" issue happen after being stuck in D, but never happened again. So I'm considering it trouble free still. Everything else has been as hoped, and I really love it. I have received more compliments, looks, etc than I anticipated, but it is certainly an attention getter. Can't wait to get a cover on it and do some hunting this winter.

My truck has been trouble free this far. What I did notice after today's rain is surface rust on the rotors. Hopefully it wares off when I drive. Anyone else experience this?

Love, love, love this truck. So much fun to drive & so much room inside for big guys. I’m a very stoked customer. Best full size truck available right now hands down.

Only minor issue is that CarPlay just stopped working after about 500 miles. I’ll live, but it gets annoying.

Other than a small function in Areo mode that needed an ("Adaptive reset was in dealer 20 Minutes to correct") it has been a great Truck. Very happy with it and really like it over the Rams past ,best one yet! 4400 miles so far!

I checked this truck out at the dealer lot in early September, made a note of the VIN, nearly pulled the trigger in late September but talked myself out of it as I considered ordering one with a 3.92, then bought it when I got an “end of October” call from the dealer, found out the same truck was still there, and did the deal for a price we both liked. Since I’d had a chance to crawl all over the truck repeatedly, take it for a test drive, and knew it’d been parked in the rain for 2 months without any water issues, I was hoping for a smooth purchase and setup. I ran thru my own PDI list, including checking for all the items I’d read about in the Poll thread of issues, and mine was green across the board. So far so good with no surprises, and it runs and rides excellently.

No issues and and loving it. Seems later build dates have less issues so new buyers should have way more confidence. I’d be looking at build dates on the sticker if I was buying a car off the dealer lot.

I'm now at 3,000 miles and have to say I have no issues other than one sunroof drain being popped out. Took 5 minutes to crawl under and pop it back in. Everything works as advertised and I absolutely love driving this truck!

Have 6,300 miles now. Loving it more and more. These trucks are expensive, especially the Limited and Longhorn’s as all pickups are no matter the brand nowadays, however, after having some family and friends who have newer top end luxury cars and suv’s ride in my Ram they cannot believe the technology, convenience, feel, and quality of the interior. It is better than most 6 figure plus luxury vehicles. When I told them the msrp they could not believe it was that “cheap”. :ROFLMAO: If that’s what you want to call it!
