2021 1500 Longhorn with 26,000 miles. Pulled into the parking garage of Disney Springs in Orlando today and found it dumping coolant. Looks like a major radiator leak or possibly some other coolant component. Hoses look good and intact. Pretty disappointed that this happened on a two-year old truck. It had to be towed too. Build/parts quality is not good @RamCares!

So the truck was towed to the dealer yesterday. They called this morning and said the radiator was leaking badly. It’s being replaced under warranty. Has anyone else had a radiator go bad this early in the truck’s life?!

That's unfortunate. Any chance that some road debris kicked up and damaged the radiator? It does seem odd for a radiator to go out so early.

I suppose road debris is possible but I have only driven on paved roads and highways, nothing off road. I started smelling faint odors of coolant off and on a couple months ago. Something was off. I should’ve had it checked.
