I was considering buying a new Ram 1500 Limited but after reading quite a few post I'm having 2nd thoughts. I see a lot of issues with these high dollar pick ups and for what they cost build quality and customer service quality seems like it should be 2nd to none. I'm a GM guy but when I saw the new Ram I was impressed to the point of going to the dealer and considered on buying one. Now I don't know.
That’s a decision you alone have to make. Just a few thoughts. If you check Ford, GMC, Chevy Forums your going to find complaints and issues on each truck, from the top of the line to the basic work trucks. People complain they do it n a forum. Ram sells thousands of new 1500 series trucks, and their Forums only have a small almost insignificant number of owners on them complaining. But if you read enough you can start to see where some are reporting similar issues, i.e. 3rd brake taillight leaks. Ford has the same issue. Actually I replaced the bulbs on my Limited with LED’s, and it seemed to me that the Ram 3rd brake light housing was better designed than Ford. Mine doesn’t leak, but f it does, silicone is not expensive.
I had Ford Trucks for decades, always thought Chevy/GMC was more comfortable and rode better than Fords, and would have considered going with one. Never even remotely had the thought of considering a new Ram 1500 until my son brought one home. Took a short ride, and it was time to take a closer look. Kept one on a test drive over the weekend and bought a Limited on Monday, that was back in June of 2019. I love the truck, enjoy the comfort, luxury, sport ride and believe it’s the Best Designed Vehicle I have ever owned!
