I bought a 2018 Laramie 4wd in August. I've never been a Dodge fan but decided to give one a try. The only other brand I test drove was a Chevy and it seemed really weak. My Ram was about 10k less on sticker price compared to Chevy or Gmc and the dealer came off almost another 10k. I have about 6000 miles on it so far and I'm very pleased. It rides great, is really quite also. We took it to Louisiana and running 80 on the interstate it was only turning around 1700 rpm and was getting right at 20 miles to the gallon. I just hope it holds up, time will tell.

My experience is they drive really nice but don't hold up. My buddy already had his starter go out and left him stranded.

I got a 16 2500 with cummins. at 18,000 I had to have a wheel hub assembly placed. Got 40,000 on it now and just had a sensor replaced. It would sporadically pop up on my info screen "4WD shift in progress". My biggest gripe is when I go get service work done they tell you u got some updates that are available, but then they want to charge you for doing those updates!!

What a crock of shlt, from the dealer.

We have Ram 1500’s as our company vehicles. All new when we get them for the most part. Out of the 4 that we have in service, one had a major electrical meltdown at about 30K miles. Another had a sensor go bad at 30-40K miles. We’ve been issued a few recalls for different things in the past year and some change. Mine has about 70K on it and hasn’t had any issues.

I did try to replace a headlight lamp myself, to avoid dealing with the dealership... but they’ve managed to make it about as difficult as possible to replace a damn headlight lamp. I’m sure that’s probably the new norm for most vehicles these days though.

I have a 2015 RAM 2500, it's been a good truck, pulls great, but just received the 13th factory recall on it, this one is for a defective steering box, they have corrected everyone of them, but it's getting a little old to a new recall so often

I know the feeling!! I dropped mine off at the dealer a couple weeks ago. They kept it for 2 days doing recall work!! At least they are fixing stuff rather than keeping their mouth shut and let consumers pay the dime on fixing stuff!!

I don’t care much for reviews on the web or reliability ratings compared to what I see and hear. Most of my friends that have Ram trucks have had zero issues. I also noticed for such poor reliability there sure are a crap load on the road. So I bought a 2015 1500 Ecodiesel. I get 25mpg with my 70 mile daily commute from Eclectic to Maxwell AFB. Best truck I’ve ever had and the longhorn package is embarrassingly nice compared to anything else I’ve owned. It has 80k+ is paid for and hope it lasts a long time.

Had 1 2009 with multiple issues. Electrical, suspension, transmission. Never owned another, always heard about the negatives on any product other than the Diesel. Cousin runs a few on his farm same issues, will be replacing with Ford or GM product. Doesn’t mean I won’t own one in the future I like trying them all every few years. That’s just my experience so far in this wonderful life.

I'll respectfully disagree. Dodge/Ram is all I have driven for almost 30 years. With the exception of the 2nd gen Dakota, they have all been really good trucks. I have driven several of them over 200,000 miles with no major issues and very few minor ones. I traded my last 1500 at 245,000 miles in 2013. I still see it around town occasionally. It's a 2004 4x4.

In that same 30 years I have watched friends with fords have catastrophic engine failures among others and chevys have a multitude of major problems.. I also have a friend who had problems with a dodge, but he treats his equipment like a rented mule. He has problems with everything that he drives.

We currently have 2 Ram pickups, a 1500 and a 2500, both 2016 models. Very happy with both.

I'm not saying that some folks don't have problems with all brands of pickups. I'm saying that I have way more experience with Dodge/Ram than most, and I just haven't seen it. If they suck that bad, you would think that since 1987, owning and driving 12 of them would have revealed a problem or two.

The only Dodge I've owned was a 98 1500 4wd with a 360.
Loved the truck but had to sell it. I couldn't afford to put gas
in it.

So you don't take any stock in data from a pool of 800,000 auto owners that compile problem areas over a length of time, but trust information from just a handful of buddies?

I said I don’t care for it because unhappy people generally spend there time complaining on the internet and responding to surveys. Happy people drive their trucks.

If they were that bad, I wouldn’t see that many on the road. Imho
