Cant be disabled (outside of gear toggle), at ~80mph (my typical commute speed) with non-air ride/org it cycles frequently, truck sounds like poop when its running, delay in acceleration out of MDS, likely bad for the engine even if minimally. Would rather eat the maybe 1 mpg I get out of it.

Other than the fact that when I look over at the passenger seat I do not see Paul Abdul sitting there, I wish Ram offered the Quad Cab in Laramie Longhorn trim.

Paula Abdul would be better :LOL:

But even she has aged out...time to pick someone younger.

Well, I'm satisfied with the way she looks now! Besides, she more age appropriate for me.

I'm quite certain the locking tailgate is standard on Laramie trim and above. Might be available only as a package on Big Horm or Rebel.

Speaking for a 2019 Limited (owned since 8/21/18), I know it has the lock and will unlock by just touching the release as long as you have the fob on you. PS Dusty I have Billet Silver as well and think its the best color available

Hi George,

Although I think black is about the sharpest color on a Ram, after owning two in a row I thought it was time for a change. Yes, I too think the Billet Silver is a great color, especially for not showing the dirt and dust as quickly.

Best regards,
Dusty

That I couldn’t leave my phone to charge with the truck off, that was until I researched and found the fuse that i needed to slide in the next spot over.

Thing that annoys me the most:
The rewind/replay feature on Sirius. It's not on the home screen, so I have to click through to get to it. And it's not even in the same location as the first button. Adds to distracted driving.

Major thing that annoys me the most:
Inaccurate gas mileage. If I known it was going to be 11/15ish, it might have been a deal breaker and I may have gotten something else.

System that annoys me the most:
Uconnect. Works half the time. Filled with bugs. Not well thought out. So many issues and flaws with it. How have these issues not been ironed out??

Black is great when it is clean. I only have 8,800 miles on my Limited . Kind of over kill for the amount of driving I do. Lucky if I drive 8-10 miles a day. The real miles come from every time me and GF go somewhere we have to take the Ram!

Speaking as a father and having a car seat in my truck. Only thing I wish they did differently was make the left side and middle of the back seat lift together instead of the right (where the car seat is).

Hard to believe the issues with paint. After nearly 100 years of painting vehicles they still can't get it right. I never had any problems with my 04 hemi and kept it for 15 years.
