Unable to get an assessment as to why the front end vibrates excessively at speeds above 70 mph. Have replaced factory tires, balanced and aligned more than 5 times but it still vibrates. Vibration became worse when the fuel pump was replaced. The front fender well guards are thin and fleshy and vibrates also. The dealer has reset all software and the condition still exists.

I had searched for months, looking at F150, Chevy silverado, or Ram 1500, being retired, still own a 98 Dakota SLT with 3.9 cu. in. And a 2016 Santa Fe Hyundai sport, which I purchased used, low miles, loved that car, no issues, towed a small trailer with it, as well as towing with my Dakota. I was heavily leaning toward the ford 150, with 5.0 engine, only because the turbocharged units reportedly having so many issues. Although I have always purchased used vehicles, 2-3 years old, low mileage, except for 2 news ones earlier in my life, saving money was my goal on my limited income. I always reviewed car fax reports, as they always gave you details, history of maintenance on the vehicle. After several months, I chose the Ram 1500 with 5.7 hemi. , trading in the Hyundai, loved that car, Only because I was looking for power to pull a trailer, comfort ride, and decent economy for a large truck. Although I wasn’t trilled with the Trans . Electronic shifter, I got used to it. Purchased with 39k miles, I purchased an extended warranty, simply because of the electronics, like any newer vehicle, this is a wise choice. After putting on 5500 miles, I love the truck, though I hate getting rid of my Dakota, it has been a good truck for me, but have to let go. I love the potential power, as you can feel it, waiting for you to unleash it at a moments notice, and sometimes you feel there is nothing behind you when towing. Great truck, I will be taking care of this one. The only disappointment is the mfr. wants $450 for the code to the 8.4 unconnected for navigation. I decided against it for now, and use my older GPS. But the Sirius radio is a plus, miss the CD player, but most vehicles are getting rid of these. Well, I love the truck, and hope to enjoy for many years to come.

In this review in the cons section it says the 5.7 1500 is shy of leading class on tow capacity. But later in the articles it says it has the best tow rating. Can someone explain this to me? Thanks in advance.
Best value truck

Ride is great, gas mileage great, plenty of power. I think best looking Truck. Only thing I would change is automatic shifting nob back to Floor or column. After owning truck for Three years I still reach for shift nob when I want to adjust air conditioning.

Right off the bat within 1000 miles it had an oil leak they couldn’t get fixed until the 4th trip back,turned out to be an oil galley plug from what they said but they had to drop the tranny twice to get it fixed, which for a new vehicle had me worried but after that I had no other issues besides the turn radius was terrible on it but that’s a design issue so all in all good truck but I wasn’t going to buy it after the lease was up do to the oil leak issue from the beginning
