2021 RAM 1500 No Quality Control at Factory
I bought a 2021 RAM on 23 Apr 2021 and had it towed back to the dealership on 27 Apr (137 miles) because it would shut down in the road. They found no issues and by then it was running again. On 29 Apr (202 miles) it shut down on the side of the highway and set there for over 3 hours in the hot sun waiting for the Dodge Raodisde Service so to show up, They kept it 2 days and found the main negative battery cable to the frame was finger tight. On 5 Jun it went in for load air noise coming in the cab. Today is 6 July and they still have it and have replaced the windshield pulled the entire dash and heater core out and resealed it and today they pulled off the driver's front fender and they still have air coming in. I have asked for a replacement or buyback but they said it doesn't meet the level for a buyback?

2020 Big Horn (all new trim) 5.7 V8
I usually only drive Chevy. I decided to switch up and I have no regrets. Beautiful truck inside and out. The drive is smooth as well as the steering and breaks. Interior is better than it's competitors no doubt. The amount of space and the center console size is perfect.

Ram is not Ram Tough
A rock from the road took out my truck on the 21st day. How? The transmission pan is plastic and a rock punctured the pan. Ram and the dealership washed their hands quicker than sheet through a goose. Customer Service was terrible. Don’t buy the Ram unless you like plastic transmission pan. And, stay away from Northstar Dodge in San Antonio. They don’t care about u at all.

Got a Classic after my "all new" 2019 Ram died!
So far so good. It has only been 1k miles on my 2020 Ram 1500 classic tradesman and all good. I got the classic after my all new 2019 Ram 1500 died. 30k painful miles on the all new body. Radio was garbage, bluetooth was garbage, ac wasn't any good, tiny gas tank, broken tailgate latch, battery died, steering stopped working during turning almost killed me twice! Hated the inside layout. 13 months and 30k miles and it's all over. Hopefully, this classic will do better. Lost $15k going with the all new 2019 model. The classic is a well designed truck for someone who actually works for a living. Ac is ice cold, radio is completely functional, gas tank is larger, inside is really well laid out and pleasant to look at. Plus, having major issues with Ram dealer service department. Helps having a truck like the classic that isn't having any issues. I want to leave the dealers in the rear view mirror.
