Why buy the new-generation Ram 1500, when the classic version of this is rated more-reliable by Consumer Reports. In fact, Ram 1500 Classic is currently rated most-reliable Big 3 American pickup, better than Ford and GM. That's all consumers need.

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?

I've got 24700 miles on it so far. And I have looked to try and find something wrong with it and so far nothing found. I'm one of those guys the dealer hates. I don't believe the " it's normal line" . So far this has been a great truck. Fuel mileage is as rated and it sure does ride good. Update: I've had the truck going on a year now. No issues what so ever. The fuel mileage is still good, still rides good,tires are wearing fine, doesnt use any oil between changes, no complaints. Now I do have some things that I wished I would have bought on the truck but this isnt a reflection of the truck, this is on me. A larger backup camera viewer would be nice, and I might could have splurged for a better radio and maybe one more interior light and a glove box light. I know all this was available, but it was probably in some thousands of dollar package that I didnt want to spring for. I would still buy the truck again. Update #2 The truck is still doing fine, no complaints. Mileage is at almost 13,000. No mechinical issues, no oil burning, no issues what so ever. Everytime I get in my truck I am still amazed at just how well this pickup rides. This is one of the biggest reasons I bought this truck to start with. Now since,I have some more milieage on the truck, the engine is running smoother, and has more power. Fuel mileage is fantastic for a 4x4 truck. Back when I was much younger I remember Dodge was known for poor fuel ecomomy. I remember the w100 back in the day was rated at 12 in town 18 on the interstate. And now I can easily get 23+ on the interstate. I reallly appreciate Chrysler comitment to fuel ecomomy. Update #3 My wife and I have started using this truck to take vacations. Any drawbacks ? Yes, a little tough to park in smaller parking spots, thats it. Trucks is still performing great. On long trips, consistently getting 23+ mpg on the interstate, which I still consider phenomenal for a 4x4 truck. Again, fantasic ride, and the interior room is great. This is probably one of my best purchases in many years. I know that the pentastar engine has caught some flack for mechanical issues o er the years, however Chrysler has made over 10 million of these engine, and they use it in almost every model in their lineup. Standing outside of the truck you cant even hear this engine run and is extremely smooth, still impressed to this day. Say what you want, but in my opinion Chrysler outdone the competition, for what I needed a truck for. Yes, I would still buy it again.

Great truck, 4x4 with Hemi even with a 3.92 gear still delivers great mileage. Plenty of power, well built. Only complaint is never open door when moving, such as backing up, goofy safety feature slams it into park.

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.

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.

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 the Hemi, 3.92 4x4 warlock. Couple minor issues when new dealer fixed. Wiper motor connector loose, outdoor temp sensor failed but that’s it. Ride is great, tows my large travel trailer perfectly. Plenty of power, shifts great. Traded in a Tacoma for it and didn’t look back.

I absolutely love this Truck! I’ve changed the rear springs for a 2 inch drop. Rough Country cat back exhaust and a tonneau cover and average 20 in town and 25 on the hwy ax on 5 or more mph over the posted limit. A sport tune cold air intake balanced with the right throttle body and it will be a 12 second 392 Killer!!! If you can find one make it your own!!!

Bought brand new. Works great, wish the back seat was bigger but at time couldn’t find a few a crew cab so settled for a quad. Trade off is the bed is a little longer so all good. At times this has been beneficial. Biggest comment though is at roughly same time a coworker bought a new f150 which was also about $12k more. His truck been in the shop almost as much as it hasn’t. The ram has had zero failures. One complaint, some components underneath seem to have a lot more rust then you would expect from a only two year old truck. Otherwise runs well. 5.7 has plenty of power. -Warlock 5.7 quad cab.
Love my truck

My 2021 Ram Classic with the V6 is a very reliable and economical truck. I had a Chrysler 300 (with the V6) and was so pleased with its performance I opted for the V6 in my Ram as the heaviest I tow is a utility trailer. Unloaded the truck delivers 27-28 mpg @65MPH on the highway. Loaded I get 18.The ride quality is good, always has been, I've had two rams in the past. Not a whole lot of road noise either. It's the Tradesman with the upgrade package, and four wheel drive. I'm very satisfied.....

Awesome truck. The only problem I’ve experienced and continue to have is with the unit that controls the radio, AC, camera, I connect and ext. It either freezes and I can’t control anything thing or the volume decreases (and all My settings are gone) or it increases so loud that even the #1 volume setting sounds like a 50 (which the truck doesn’t have, it only goes to 38). I’ve already had it replaced twice. The first time it was a brand new unit and the second time it was a refurbished unit that they forgot to completely wipe out so I had the previous owners info. On top of that, it was a 2019 radio not a 2020 radio like I previously had. So here I go again back to the dealer with the same issue.

I traded my 2016 F150 for the ram 3 months ago,reason was a high monthly payment. The ford trucks are absolutely the best there is but their prices are high The ram is definitely better than any of the 3 chevys I owned so far with the V6 gas mileage is good and performance is decent from this motor. The ride is pleasant not super firm like the ford or weak like the chevy its pretty nice I leased this so we shall see ? Others I know have owned these trucks and keep going back to them . Its been over 2 years now and 21k on it . All is good no real complaints getting about 18.6 mpg and that's mixed driving . Highway will get close to 19.5 . Basic ram truck bit still much better than chevy!

I traded in a 2011 Ram with 283,000 miles on it, this is my 7th Ram and by far the worst. less than 600 miles on it and been back to the dealer multiple times. Truck has no power, will not Tow a 3500lb boat. so many issues with this truck, they didn't correctly flash the bed when painting so the paint is flaking off in large chunks, turn the steering wheel left and the dash goes blank. factory pin stripes on the right side none on the drivers side (dealer corrected) My 7th and last Ram. Trading for a GMC.

I am 2 years into this truck now with 32k miles and it is still great!! 2021 Ram Classic Warlock, quad cab 5.7L, 3.92:1 Axle ratio, 4x4, Tow package. Ride is smooth, no noise or rattles. Issues I have had under warranty: Windshield wipers would sometimes not work, issue was connector not seated; Cruise control "on" switch worked intermittently, replaced; left turn signal won't shut off replaced clock spring; door window switch stopped working, replaced; outdoor temp sensor failed, replaced. One issue I have is Uconnect 8.4" that is intermittent: The head unit freezes up and sometimes reboots, otherwise I have to cycle ign to get it to respond. I read this issue above in another review. I found a workaround though. Seems when I have the serius XM working and fill the system memory with saved songs/artists this issue happens quite frequently. When I shut off the Sirius XM the issue goes away completely. I have confirmed this twice now. So I did away with the Sirius and just use Spotify through my phone which works great. Overall I really like the truck and the warranty issues have been minor. It tows my 8k# camper fine. I am really considering buying out the lease.

I am not happy with Dodge Crysler Cannada. I bought a new 1500 Dodge Ram not even a year ago and the bumper rusted in the first 2 weeks of owning the truck they replaced it and now again 6 months later it is rusting the second bumper that they replaced. I paid 60,000 for a truck that bumpers have rusted before a year is up. Crysler will not replace it again. The worst part about it all is you can tell it's a manufacturer defect and they still won't stand behind it. I WOULD NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE RAM 1500 WORST COMPANY EVER. It's be the worst experience I've ever happened with a dealer. Now I know why I always picked CHEVY Trucks. They are the #1 truck. 100%

I purchased the 2020 Warlock 1500 V8 brand new. I loved the sound when it started up! It drove really smooth. I had issues with the tire pressure sensors and one tire going completely flat. I upgraded the tires to Bridgestone, this greatly improved the handling! What I didn’t like about this truck was the dash/ steering wheel controls. While driving, it was difficult to adjust heat, radio because the four round knobs on the dash all felt similar. It was necessary to take your eyes off the road to adjust as to not hit the wrong knob. What I disliked the most was the steering wheel controls. The steering wheel controls scrolled through what was displayed on the dash, but DO NOT CONTROL THE RADIO! This makes no sense. I googled thinking I was missing something. Back of the steering wheel controls apparently can be added.

2021 1500 Classic. This truck has exceeded expectations. Have only owned Fords to this point with good luck, but could not beat the price of the Ram new. Rides well and gets great gas mileage. ( V6 averaging arounf 21-22 mixed driving and 24 on a long road trip. No issues!
