Buckle the seatbelt behind you then you can open the door. I do it and stand in the running board.

Totally agree with this. @RamCares
This was really my only concern buying a Ram and why I leased instead of buy. I've had two FCA products in the past and one experience was painful (2005 300C). The service manager actually said "what do you expect? You bought a Chrysler." And then there was the BBB that had a dedicated extension just for Chrysler products. Not to mention they always come in last on dependability surveys.
To be fair, my previous RAM was a 2014 Sport that I got because a good friend was a co-owner of the dealership and I knew he would and did take great care of me. And that RAM was trouble free.
So here's to hoping this one is too!

I have a pickup truck and the cost for the Tonneau cover is tremendous.

Small rear view mirror is biggest issue so far. Coming from a 4th gen the mirror was slightly bigger. I get that you don't see much back there anyways because of the headrests on the rear seats, but I would still like to have the mirror give me a full view of the rear window.
I second that.
Same here.. i park on a hill every night so I use mine and everytime I do it backwards......
Ive been using the auto brake, its works flawlessly for me. Just have to make sure the seatbelt is buckled before putting it into drive or it will not automatically release.
I get both your points about the push and pull and agree it’s backwards. However, do you know in Uconnect you can set the brake to engage automatically when you put it in park? Also, to disengage regardless if you set it manually or you have it set to auto engage, just shift to drive or reverse and the brake will release automatically as long as you have your seatbelt on before shifting into gear.

Not sure if u know this but u can fold the rear headrests down with the black button on either side. I leave mine like that until someone sits back there. It really clears up the view.

I Drove Dakotas for 30+ years, went through 3 of them. Now wanting to replace the 3rd one, they stopped making them so, moved up to a half ton. Last 2 dakotas had the 4.7L V8. New 1500 has the 5.7 and guess what? the mileage is BETTER and exactly what the sticker said it would be. It tows my 5500 lb trailer with great ease, is quiet and smooth. The towing package is awesome (although I've love for those mirrors to fold when in park), I'm still getting used to the throttle response at slow speed, especially backing uphill with a load.. hard to do it smoothly. The rear camera is a blessing, the proximity sensors work perfectly. Carplay is amazing. The ONLY issue when i got it was the steering wheel heater doesn't work but I've been on the road and haven't had a chance to get it back to the dealer.
My wife complains that she needs a ladder to get in.. but she's blonde and hot so helping her in is fun
no nerf bars for me, I think they're ugly.

So far only the mpg that the hemi gets. I had a twin turbo V6 in my Ford that got me 19-21 mpg's. This hemi is more like 14-16.
Well, coming from a 2014 Durango R/T I must say that the lack of a power steering wheel in the 2020 1500 Limited is a bummer. And the 12" just sucks sometimes. It makes no sense that this system gives an almost non existent ding to notify that a song in on. And if you missed the whisper ding, well you're SOL, you can't find it as in the 8.4. And on top of that, you're limited to 24 favs? Come on!!! Where's the update? Because these are not isolated complaints. No vehicle health reports, no dealer messages....
But, I would still but this truck again and again and again.

I bumped my tire pressure from 36 to 40 and have seen about a 2mpg improvement. Not suggesting you do the same, but so far I am pleased with the results, and the ride is largely unaffected. Maybe a teeny bit harder, but overall still very nice.
My sticker says 32psi so I bumped it to 36 to see if i get an improvement. Not enough miles yet to compare but Im thinking I should just go to 38
I love my truck but it was odd at first not to have an ignition or a key.....
