2017 Raptor to 2019 Ram Limited
Went in to buy my wife a new car. Peaked at the new Ram, walked away with 2 new cars. If you have not physically looked at and driven a new Ram Limited...Go do it. I've owned many luxury vehicles in my day. None have ever had the interior this new truck has. Literally cannot believe that its in a truck, and a Ram at that. The deals during the Year End Closeout Event are incredible. Got my new luxury ride for $14,000 under MSRP. And for those that read all of the previous reviews, the steering wheel does have audio controls. They are located on the back of the steering wheel (on both sides) not the front. UPDATE...I have owned this truck for 1 year now. It has been amazing, zero issues, only regular maintenance that is required on a vehicle with 22,000 miles. Highly recommend this truck if you want functionality with luxury.

Worst truck I ever had
I purchased a 2019 Ram 1500 Limited 4x4 on May9th 2018 on June 9th 2018 I had to have it towed to the dealer i bought it to find that the engine was blown.After several calls back an forth they said they will replace the engine seeing how it only had 3068 miles.on thursday june the 14 recived a text stating the engine will be in on june 26th on the 15th I recived a text saying they will not replace the engine and to call my insurance.More then frusterated it has been 10 days now that I dont have my truck and 3 days with no vehicale at all.My brand new truck also was hit in the dealership parking lot unfortunately This will be the last time I will ever purchase any Fiat Chrysler products I owned a 2012 ram1500 and a 2015 U would think they would do the right thing .You think if you spend your hard earnd money on a vehicle they would stand behind the customer but sadly this is not the case.so in conclusion beware of false promises

Ram could have done much better.
I am very disappointed with this vehicle. This is supposed to be a high tech luxury truck. My truck listed for $67,505. You want to adjust the steering wheel location? Release the locking mechanism, move to the location you want and then lock it back just like in a Tradesman. Auto dimming mirrors? The rear view mirror in the vehicle is all you get for that kind of money. The outside mirrors don't dim. Automatic climate control is a joke, very poor response to change in settings. 60 degrees outside....I set it to 73 degrees.....it responds by turning on the A/C. Sometimes the ride height adjustment doesn't work and forget about the vehicle automatically lowering to the enter/exit position when you put it in park (like my Grand Cherokee Summit does). It isn't quiet and the ride isn't great. The eTorque feature doesn't seem to be making a big difference my fuel economy. The automatic running board deployment is a nice feature. The interior is very nice. 12 inch display has its advantages. If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't buy this model. My above opinion hasn't changed in the 3 years I have own it. Overall construction seems to be good. No problems with the engine, steering or related systems. Automatic leveling system had to be re-calibrated twice while under warrantee.

Rush to be first
I purchased my 2019 Ram 1500 Limited with the 5.6 foot bed and 8 cylinder engine in November of 2018. The good; plenty of power with the 5.7 liter V8 and the 3.92 rear end. While towing my 7500+lb 30 foot travel trailer good road handling, engine braking, kind of bouncy in the back end. I found the fit and finish to be well done, comfortable and appealing. I like the power adjustments for the driver's seat. I have herniated discs in my lower back and adjusting the lumbar is great for that. Also the heated and cooled seats front and back are amazing. The 12.1 inch screen is large and very easy to read. The controls that do work well are very easy to understand and operate. For the most part the cabin noise is nonexistent with the exception of the driver side rear door always sounds like the windows open. There is a ton of room in this vehicle, my grandkids are no longer kicking the back of my seat and I can easily get them situated and the German Shepherd between the two to keep the peace. Unfortunately the list of things I don't like is longer and mostly just annoying and I'm trying not to be too critical but this is a $67,000 vehicle. I find a lot of the technical or smart features glitchy and unreliable. One day I drove my commute home which is 48 miles in the entry exit height mode because that's where it stayed after I got in. It is not supposed to stay in the entry exit height mode after about 15 or 20 miles per hour. Occasionally the computer will not allow you to change the right height from normal to aerodynamic or back the other way when driving at speeds above 35 miles per hour. There are settings to tell it to go into the aerodynamic mode automatically at highway speeds I think it's 55 miles per hour but that doesn't always happen. One of the features that attracted me to the vehicle is the ability to follow the vehicle in front of you at their pace and adjust the distance you are following. That usually works well, but sometimes if a vehicle is turning and they are a good distance in front of you and you have the distance at minimal (means you'd normally be following too closely) the vehicle will start to break sometimes quite strongly when normally even a prudent person would not brake. Additionally, if a vehicle in front uses a turn lane and is completely out of the way the system will start to brake when a prudent person would not use the brakes and safely pass by the vehicle that's turning. The lane keep assist is another feature that attracted me to this vehicle. This feature Works about 50% of the time in a way that I would expect it to. Sometimes if it corrects you one way it'll throw you over the line on the other side even though it can see that line according to the indication in the instrument cluster. So, it's not a self-driving vehicle by any means and you have to be prepared which means don't use this feature as permission to stare too long at that giant screen or even the beautiful scenery outside. My wife does not like this feature, she says she feels like she is fighting the vehicle. I guess it's a pretty good feature after all. Now to the screen itself and some of the features. Sometimes the screen will go blank like it did to me this morning, the indication inside the instrument cluster above the digital speedometer tells me which Sirius XM radio station I'm listening to in quite an abbreviated form but there's nothing on the big screen. One-time recently radio just stopped working and I had to shut the vehicle off for a few minutes before I could turn it back on to get that to work which included any functions that came along with it like navigation or telephone. And this occurred after the last recall which required a Flash update about a month ago. The driver memory function works good, except every time my phone connects it asks if I want to make it my favorite. Some of the cases in the instrument cluster are redundant and not very well thought out. The moonroof is great but sometimes doesn't close as expected. The running boards take too long to deploy if you're in a hurry they can trip you up. Auto high beams are no substitute for driver input. The economy sucks unless your drive is at 40 miles an hour. The cylinder deactivation reactivation is noisy and clunky. The axle lock button is poorly placed and I often hit it with my ET fingers without realizing it. Navigation is okay for 20 years ago but seems unintuitive. The premium leather is great but there is a seem that runs the length of my thigh that overtime is uncomfortable. The Chrome accents are nice until the sun is hitting them and reflecting in my eyes while I'm driving. The oversized rear brakes squeal when first driving after being parked. I'm on my third recall, I'm sure my new Ram has ADD. I have a lot more to say but there is limited room on here which is lucky for you.
