Lopsided RAM PLEASE HELP!

[Kelly Lee]

Just purchased 2021 Ram Limited March 2nd. Driver side is leaning badly, upwards of an inch at times, back side is worse. If I were to take a AA battery and place it on my tailgate from passenger to driver it rolls completely off the truck. Took it to dealership they say it's no issue!?!?!?!?only 900 miles on it... Has anyone had this issue? Help please.

@RamCares welcome to your new RAM !

Also my passenger door looks like it's falling off.

It's the airbags...Might have a slow leak.

I noticed it on my 2021 Limited as well, I only have 200 miles on mine. My last two trucks (2015 and 2017 Tundras) both had a lean as well. As did our Lexus GX460 SUV. My wife thinks I’m nuts...I’m learning to accept it.

Is that door shut all the way? That’s bad...looks like it isn’t closed completely

 

[Snofire]

Did you notice the door issue when you picked it up from the dealer?

Yes closed completely....dealership says plenty of trucks like this.... called and made a case today. This is nuts. First Ram... Last Ram

No 3 days after.

Man that sucks that can't be normal. I would be raising hell with the dealership and take it as high as necessary to get it fixed. This is why when my truck comes in and it is delivered I am going to go over it with a fine tooth comb! I hope the delivery driver brings a good book to read

As far as the lean idk.. But that door is not right at all! There is no way the dealership should be telling you thats normal lol I would be looking for a new dealership! I don't blame you for being pissed about it, I'm extremely anal when it comes to my vehicles and that would drive me absolutely INSANE!... Ram still the best truck on the road though

I agree on the door that it needs to be fixed and the dealership can do it so bring it to the manager or else find a different dealership. As for the airbags this seems to be rare or not really reported on the Gen5 as these were tweaked since Gen4. I would contact @RamCares or open a ticket on ramchat and escalate.

Agree with above. No door looks like that on a new truck. Cant say what the lean is but the air suspension would be a good
starting point.

Once both are fixed you could either sell if pissed off to the max (and then buy some other makers issues) or just enjoy the rest of the truck. (As long as those are your only two issues.)

Not abnormal for the truck to be little lower on driver side, go to the dealer lot and measure several trucks and you will probably have the same result. Measurements may vary depending on how much gas is in the tank.

As far as the door, NOT normal at all, def have the dealer check that out.

Some light reading.

2020 Rams sits low driver's side

I have seen a couple discussions on other sites regarding my truck being about 3/4 inch to 7/8" lower on the driver side rear. My truck is a 2020 ram 3500 4x4 long bed HO Diesel. I have about 4000 miles on it now hoping that it would settle down but it has not. Some people blame it on the fuel...

air suspension truck leaning on one side

Hi, noticed when washing my truck that it is leaning on one side. Air ride set to normal, on even pavement. Has anyone heard of this sort of problem ?

My truck is crooked

Hi, All so I have a 2019 Ram Rebel “none air ride” My truck is off by 1/2 on the rear. When I measure from the top of the tire to the finder I’m at 7.5” on the drivers side and 8.25 on the passenger side. When I measured from the ground to the top of the shock mount both sides are at 31”. The...

The fuel tank is on the drivers side. With a full tank of gas some amount will be normal. Both my Ford and Tundra would lean a little. Now if you are low on fuel and still leaning then that is a problem.

Wouldn’t the system still auto-level with a slow leak, i.e. run the pump more often? The programmed settings for each corner may just need adjustment. Either way, the dealer needs to check it out.

Now if I had one of those fancy pants 33 gallon tanks and it was full then of course it would lean to one side! (But I don’t.)
