The Vibration of It
My new 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn Black out is sweet in looks. Problem is that it vibrates to point of upset stomach if you endure it for more than 30 minutes. I am so unhappy with it. The cheap tires are probably an issue. There are threads online that discuss problems with tires on them. The ride is far from comfortable.

Hook ‘em Horns
I’m not exactly sure if I’m just lucky or if the bugs have been worked out, but my 2019 Laramie Longhorn 5.7 etorque equipped HEMI is just perfect. After 5,000 hard miles towing, hauling, road tripping and day to day commutes, I’m hard pressed to find anything to complain about. In the absolutely great (6 stars out of 5) category: ride, interior, engine sound and power delivery, safety, air suspension, technology, fit and finish and towing. In the great category (5 of 5): exterior styling, overall engine power availability and torque curve, and the HK sound system. In the 4 out of 5 star category: value and expected resale. Everyone. And I do mean everyone that has ridden along and / or drive my truck leaves raving about the ride quality, fit and finish, attention to detail, styling and handling. I am a perfectionist. I expected to be mildly disappoint to moderately disappointed in a few aspects of this truck. I am yet to be even slightly annoyed at anything. I opted for the etorque and am amazed at how seamlessly it is integrated into the driving experience. The start / stop is practically perfect. It is hardly noticeable due to the quiet cabin. And I mean quiet. You only notice it when you see your MPG staying steady while at a stoplight and not dropping like a rock. The air suspension is marvelous. And fun. My kids love it (accessibility and cool factor). The black / saddle brown leather interior is just stunning. Add the 12 inch screen and the mix of Wild West and new tech hooks anyone that sits in the cabin. Ram boxes are a must for my uses and have operated flawlessly. Color match and fit issues? Nope. I know this review sounds over the top. Like I said, maybe I got lucky. Maybe I’ll be back in a year shaking my head and wondering how things changed for the worse. For now, the only hurt is the price tag. But if you shop around, you can get great deals as RAM tries to outsell Chevy for the third quarter in a row. Hook ‘em!!!!

XM radio..Limited garbage.!
Bought the new Limited last October. Beautiful truck, thought it would be an awesome experience. Well, it turned out to not be awesome, but is an awful one. After four trips to the dealer, a call to CFA, and a lot of stress, I'm still extremely disappointed. I have the 12" center screen which works when it wants to, the Navigation is the same. Works if it wants to, most of the time it's "off line" and won't do or show anything except the truck setting at the house. When I contacted the dealer and CFA they say there is a software update coming, but won't say when, say they don't know or if their 'update' will even fix the problem. The truck runs and drives well, but driving down the road with the rear view camera on (and won't turn off) is terribly distracting. It's either that or a total black screen. One would have thought that CFA would have made sure that this piece of junk would have worked before they put it into production and sold it as such a 'wonderful piece of engineering'. After almost a year, no fix, and no clue on when there will be a fix, I will be leaving Ram very soon and probably won't be back.!! If you buy a Ram, DON'T BUY A LIMITED.!! After almost 3 months the radio was replaced. Much improved, but still has it's problems. Nav system still has intermittent problems. STILL will not load an address when put in. Says it's "searching offline" , will eventually 'find' the address, sometimes,. If you buy a Ram, Don't get the 12" screen, nothing but garbage.!

Drove for 30k miles and 13 months, waste of money
This was initially a dream come true. Brand new black 2019 Ram 1500 with a hemi and rambox. However, right off the bat problem after problem and no Ram dealership could or wanted to fix. The defrost was broken. There was always air coming through the defrost vents even though they were off. This would fog up the windsheild almost all the time. Dealer refuses it's even an issue, says that's within spec. The power steering failed while driving and I almost crashed. Dealer took two tries to fix. The ac blows 10 degrees warmer than the last generation Ram. Don't believe me? I pinched off the heater hose going to the heater core and got the vent temperature into the high 30s instead of the 50s as designed. The door pockets were blocked when you closed the door. I didn't like the large center console and kinda wished I had gotten the jump seat. The console was large and not very efficient for me and became dirty quickly. The interior layout is poor. The ac vents are hard to direct air where you want. The radio has some weird volume fluctuations when listening to FM radio. I thought all the knobs looked cheap and were flimsy. Not firm like the last generation Ram. The vabration cancelation module went nuts randomly. The tailgate latch was defective and would randomly not open. The bluetooth was a joke. Hardly ever worked right. If you were listening to a cd and left the truck you would have to select the cd again when starting the truck. It's almost like the radio didn't care that you were listening to that. Same with other media. It's almost like you had to reinitialize everything every time you started the truck and sometimes things were not going to connect. The tiny gas tank was another hidden feature that's a complete downer. So frustrating having to fill up every other day because I tow for work and wasn't informed of the tiny gas tank. Ram doesn't disclose this information until after the sale. Are there any positives over the 13 months of ownership? The steering wheel was nice and the outside styling was great. I work outside for a living and expect a truck to keep up with me. Unfortunately, the all new problems Ram 1500 wasn't up to the task and failed miserably! It really pisses me off because of the lost money, the extra sweat from the defective ac, and down right disappointment in Ram. I shouldn't have trusted them to build it right the first time. What did I do? I went with what I know. Previously, I owned a 15 and 17 Ram 1500 and they were outstanding trucks. So, I traded for a 2020 Ram 1500 Classic tradesman. No frills, but completely functional design that I know will do the job. On day one of using my new Classic I could tell the difference. Glad the nightmare is over. I love just going to work and having a genuine work partner with me, my Classic. I hated going to work in the all new problems Ram because nothing was pleasurable. I fought the defrost, I fought the ac, I fought with the radio, I fought with the bluetooth, I fought with filling up at the gas station all the time, I couldn't win and that's not what a work partner should be.

Maybe too nice to be hauling my trailers around!
Honestly, I really don't want to get this truck too dirty, it's that nice. Yea, yea, that's what trucks are for, I know all that bs, just saying. This is one nice truck. I needed a 4WD, had a 2WD Ford F-250, 2WD, Diesel, extended cab and well, if not for the diesel that truck was average at best. Great engine, 900 lbs torque, but got stuck in 2" in muddy water. Thus the need for a 4WD. I chose the 2019 Bighorn (which is not a selection in your dropdown with a 5.7, edmunds, you need to fix that) for the price first of all, then the the tow capacity (over 10,000), MPG and then settled on just a nice looking truck with a gas engine and the crew cab is like being in business class from that cramped a** extended cab in the F-250 with straight up seats so NO on in the back was comfortable after 1 mile. Just pulled about 1500 pounds, no problem and will take the big trailer out in a week or so, about 7000 lbs, we'll see what the RPM gauge does, hopefully doesn't keep revving to 5000 going up hills like my long gone 2008 Ram, 5.7. In the end, so far, so good, I'll keep you posted.

Very Happy
Great comfort, technology an features. I have had he truck for 17,000 miles and have no complaints. The features are easy to customize and it can be changed to the user's preference. FWD works great. Interior is quiet and convenient. Reading the owner's manual and understanding how the vehicle systems work is essential. So much better than the salesman's explanation. The owners manual is well written and is an easy to use reference guide. My favorite feature is the blind spot monitoring. This includes a radar system in the tail lights that measures the length of a trailer and provides merging assistance when towing a trailer. My previous vehicle was a 2016 Ram Long Horn. The improvements on the 2019 Laramie are very easy to notice and makes this new model much better. So many "bad" reviews on the internet ... don't believe what you read on the internet. Mostly written by people that don't have the vehicle. Nice truck. Very happy with the purchase. I'd recommend this to anyone.

Smooth ride
I have had this truck for 2 weeks and have almost 1k in miles. I have owned multiple brands and even another dodge truck. There is no comparison to the ride and comfort the new 2019 Ram has. All the controls are easily accessible and I easy to understand and use. If you are looking for a truck to ride like a luxury vehicle, then this is the truck for you.

Lowdown on Laramie
The truck is solid - the ride is super stable and the secure feeling of being in a real truck gives my wife peace of mind. I love my leather, double-stitched seats and interior. The vented and heated driver and passenger seats are a great luxury. I am still figuring out the capacity of the truck's technology. It is definitely a truck for a techie. I have the chrome edition, and even the bug guard is chrome. The attention to interior needs is outstanding - more cup holders, storage areas, and USB ports than expected. The foot pedals can be adjusted electronically (I do get a vibrating noise in my brakes when idling which is annoying). I have the new style grill - why get a 2019 and have the grill of older models?
