Used 2019 Ram 1500 Quad Cab Consumer Reviews
2019 Ram Laramie 4x4 Quadcab
I've had this truck for a few months and have put 5K miles on it. It has the standard 5.7 Hemi and 8 spd. On the interstate long trips I get around 22 mpg with 3.21 axle. Has plenty of power rides great and I have no problems. I've had a lot of trucks my previous was a 2016 F150 with the 3.5 ecoboost the Ram is not as quick but I think in the long run it will be more reliable.

2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn 5.7 nothing but problems
I was a first time Ram buyer in 12/2018. I bought a new 2019 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi for around 49k. I'm the type of buyer who keeps my vehicles for 10 to 15 years, so I bought the extended warranty. On the 3rd day of ownership the issues started. I had a check engine light which ended up taking three separate visits to the dealership in 2 weeks before they fully replaced the fuel sensors around the fuel tank. My new truck was in the shop for 5 days within 3 weeks of ownership. The next issue was an annoying drone sound while driving. Yet again, I took it to the dealer with this time no fix. So I did some research and discovered a firmware update for the noise cancelling would fix it, so I had the dealership flash it. Issue solved. Around 4 months of ownership, the 8 inch radio console would flash in and out. I also noticed the center control cluster would flash. This was in April of 2020, so the truck was less than 6 months old. I was back at the dealership. While wiping the engine down(I keep all my vehicles clean), I noticed an oil leak coming from the passenger side front spark plug. I discovered this in June 2019, so back to the dealership the get the spark plug seals replaced, yet again another 2 days no truck. In the summer of 2019, my center control cluster would randomly stop working. At this point my Ram only around 8k miles on it. So back to the dealership. Fast forward to November 2019, I noticed a weird grinding when I made mild to sharp turns while on my way to work. In Feb 2020, the plastic guard holding the 4x4 cables broke, so I zip tied it to fix it. Lucky no hoses were damaged. During 2020 the radio would blackout and on 12/21/2020 while cleaning the truck, I noticed the rear window was cracked around the rear sliding windows. The headliner had water damage because of this. I took it to the dealership to fix and by Ram policy they only replaced the glass and tried to clean the headliner. This made the headliner worse. So after going back and forth between the dealership and Ram, they agreed to replace the headliner. During this time the center cluster died. In order to get the headliner done, Ram needed proof of mileage which I could not give because the center cluster was dead. So they had to order the center cluster. This was not early Feb 2021. They replaced the cluster and after yet again another call to Ram they scheduled a headliner replacement. On March 26,2021 while waiting on the headliner replacement, the center cluster started flashing on and off again. While waiting to go into work on a cold morning, I heard a weird flushing sound coming from the passenger side dash which sounded like water. On top of this my radio cluster was still randomly going black, That was it for me, I sold the truck and bought a 2021 F250. I will never buy another Ram based on my experience. This was the worse new vehicle I've ever owned. Yes, it rides great, roomer, and lots of modern gadgets but what good is that if the electrical system is buggy and several quality issues? When I sold my 2019 Ram 1500 it only had a little over 23k miles, so imagine the issues I could of had if I drove a lot.

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.

Best vehicle ever
This is hands down the nicest vehicle I have ever driven. The ride is super smooth. The interior is super luxurious. It is so roomy, and the tech is top tier. I love the power of the engine and the smoothness of the transmission. My only complaint is the poor gas mileage. I just finished my first full tank and got only 13 mpg in primarily city driving. Hopefully this will improve as the engine breaks in.

Bad dude
A real truck with a real V8. Sounds amazing, I have the 3.92 with the hemi and it'll put you back in your seat. I have the black package in bighorn trim and it has the nicest wheels on the market. 4x4 off road package, pretty much as loaded as a bighorn can get. Love it, comfortable and capable. Got a long extended warranty, just in case! Can Chrysler be trusted to make a dependable truck? We'll see! Update: 1 year later, and still very impressive. Have had zero problems with my truck and it looks and runs like new. Ram did a great job on this redesign, very comfy, powerful, and do it all attitude, and with the Hemi and 3.92, it's a undeniable race truck. I'd never go back to a car or SUV, this truck is just as comfortable, and rides just as good, or better. Gotta love it! Update: Almost 3 years in, and still in love with my Ram. I've had 0 issues with it, literally, oil changes and tire rotations are pretty much all I've had to do with it. Love it! Update 8/20/22: 23,000 and not a hiccup. Still one of the best looking trucks in town. Update 2/28/23 25,000 and not a hiccup so far. Love this truck! Update 9/1/23: Ok, so 4 plus years now. I baby it, but with just over 30,000 miles it's a new truck still. Best vehicle I've ever owned, and I'm old, so, yeah, we're talking dozens. And it has held it's value nicely. Love it. Updated reviews: 6 years in and still a bad A. 36,000 miles still loving it.
