Electrical Issues 3 weeks after taking delivery

First when I bought the truck, the blind side monitor in the passenger mirror didn’t work. Turned out the electrical was shorting out the module so the dealer fixed it. NOW...The overhead controls are completely dead. The map lights, Assist, SOS, Tailgate release, all illuminated lights, etc.... The whole thing is dead. Now I have to go to the dealer again, I already have 4.5 hrs invested at the dealer and here we go again. And of course Dodge insists on putting small chairs in all their dealerships so us big guys have nowhere to sit!!!! Not everyone is created equal, get some bigger chairs!!! I’m beginning to think this is the start of bigger issues and with only 1,100 miles on it. Lemon?

Best truck on the market

Purchased the vehicle brand new and was hesitant since this is the first year for this truck to start. I've owned every truck in every configuration. I own a large company with hundreds of trucks to haul large trailers. I used to have Ford, then GM and in 2010 switched to Ram. Ram has been the very best all around truck for durability, maintenance costs and resale. This new 2019 Limited I purchased just for me. Right away I knew the ride was nice but after driving it for a few thousand miles, every single time I drive it, the ride is just too nice to even explain. The technology and cab layout is the very best of any truck by far. Everything in this truck is just so nice and if there was anything I would say lacks, it might be the fuel economy but I'm getting 19 MPG so that's not even a complaint. This is a solid truck and because of my business I have had to pick up the slack a few times for the other guys hauling lighter loads and with the air suspension this truck amazes me, I can load a heavy trailer and it never sags, the airbags take over. The LED lights are extremely nice, the 12'' screen is over the top nice, the doors shut like a million dollar vehicle, it is a very nice truck. When you look under the truck or when you open the hood everything is extremely clean and well engineered, nothing is cluttered at all. The back seat area is so comfortable, it's just so nice. Anyway, I've tried to pick this truck apart and I can't find anything wrong, its just such a well engeneered truck and I get a lot of people looking and when I go to a gas station it's almost an automatic someone will come up and ask questions or come and check it out. Really a nice truck.

Got my 2019 Limited back in May 2019. I haven't had any of these horrible issues so far. I have 4400 miles right now. I drive 80 miles a day, use the trucks only three day a week. This is a OUTSTANDING TRUCK!! The ride is SO SMOOTH, interior off the chain. 12in screen is over the top. I checked out Ford, Chevy, Toyota and Nissan. The RAM easily out classed them all. Again, SO far it's a Great Truck!!

Was all ready to buy another F150 when a deal fell through. Found a great deal on a Ram 1500 and test drove it. Fell in love with it. Great ride. Good acceleration. MPG a bit lower than F150, but for the $ I spent, I got way more with Ram. Love love love my truck. At 9000 trouble free miles. Continues to be my favorite vehicle I've ever owned.

2019 Ram 1500 Limited EXCELLENT TRUCK!

Bought the 2019 DT Limited 1500 in June 2019. Has run without any issues. One minor recall fixed with software update. 12 inch screen great for my older eyes. Smooth ride whether unloaded or towing. Have the tall rear end so mileage isn't great (14.8) but it launches out of the hole like a rocket. Had a 2014 Sport and could not be happier with new Limited ride, looks, and reliability

Power is great. 5.7 L Hemi with a 392 rear end will pull my fully loaded 30 foot travel trailer up over a mountain on a Logging Road. Should have waited for the third generation as the 12 inch touch screen on my Limited is less than desirable. Functions maybe more than half the time correctly. Sometimes it will display the satellite radio station and sometimes the screen will be blank. Yes, I checked to see if the screen was on or off. Sometimes it won't change modes from FM to satellite and sometimes it won't change from satellite to anything else. Depending on its mood it might let you change radio stations when the screen is blank but don't count on it. If you want to use voice texting you have to have your smartphone plugged into it with the c to C cable otherwise you can only use predefined messages. The map was out-of-date the moment I pulled it off the lot so you may as well use Google or Waze. Electronically speaking sometimes the aerodynamic mode will engage at the correct speed sometimes it wont. Sometimes if I use the entry exit mode it will stay in entry-exit mode on my 1 hour commute home at speeds about 70 miles an hour. Sometimes the cruise control works and sometimes it doesn't and gives me an error message on the screen. Sometimes the ventilated seat fan is noisy and sometimes it isn't. Really this goes for just about every electronic Gizmo and gadgets this truck has. I'm a gadget person and spend a ton of time in my vehicle. I've got nearly 24,000 miles on it and I bought it last December. Having a 392 rear end the fuel economy is pretty good compared to older vehicles but there is still room for improvement on this 8 speed transmission. It's already had a few recalls address. The sunroof spring that keeps the wind deflector up when the sunroof is open as already broken and I've been waiting on parts for 2 months. Usually the adaptive cruise will work correctly but once in awhile it will surprise you and not in the way you'd like to be surprised. The lane keep assist works okay but sometimes it's willing to correct you on one side and throw you into the river on the other side so you can't rely on it in the way you might think. The voice activated navigation leaves a lot to be desired when it works properly. Every time I'm in the truck and I connect the same phone I've had since I got the truck it asks me if I want to make this phone my favorite. As if I was going to change my mind. I could probably go on and on but I will spare you. I told you about the major things that bother me hopefully these will be worked out in future Generations. For the purpose of accuracy my pickup is not listed on the choices, it's got the 5.6 foot bed with the 5.7 liter Hemi and it's a limited 1500.

Road/Wind Noise

I have a 19' Laramie new body style 5.7. 2WD I came out of a GMC 2WD and I'm not loving the ride or road noise compared to GMC. It's a pretty good vehicle with no breakdowns or problems. I've had the dealer while getting an oil change to check the seals around the rear doors and nothing seemed to be wrong. The noise seems to be coming from the rear doors or it sounds that way from the drivers seat. The speed compensated volume doesn't work on the expensive Harmon Kardon stereo. On occasions the Bluetooth drops out and you have to disconnect from the phone and go to speaker on the phone. This has occurred 2-3 times. They could have built a great truck but I think FCA goofed by pushing them out without enough testing time. We'll see a what happens when I do take it in. I miss my GMC.

I have had my 1500 for a little over 4 months and about 15,000 miles (I drive a lot). Gas mileage is good for a full sized truck. About two months in the stereo went blank. The dealership immiedately replaced it. The back up sensors are wired a little weird and the snow balls up on them, which caused one to fall out. Again the dealership fixed it no problem. Really I have had no complaints, the truck is comfortable for my commute or getting my family around. I feel safe in it and when shopping for a new truck and driving the competition this was by far the nicest in its class.

2019 1500 classic regular cab short box 4X4 5.7

I ordered this baby in Patriot blue pearl. It is the best truck I have ever had or experienced. GM no longer makes a regular cab short box and Ram may not be much longer but there are a number of us that love them.. this one is fantastic. I got the rear window that none of the others provide. plus probably the best audio for a regular cab. Only Ram offers rear coil springs vs. leaf springs which I think give a better ride.. I have had zero problems and the truck is the best I have ever had... In 1979 I bought a Chev Cheyenne , it was great at the time and I was stupid and sold it.. In 1993 I bought a Ford f150 still have it. all regular cab short box. Because of improvements over the years this is best.
