Wow. Beautiful truck. And there’s a great chance you’ll have to appreciate it from afar because it will spend lots of time at the dealership service center. Look, I spent a lot of time researching this truck. I read the Internet forums and I spoke with a couple friends who are mechanics at FCA brand dealerships. Everything suggested this is an awesome truck with more than its share of first year problems that need to be worked out. I discounted all of that, and assumed it is those who have the rare problem truck who complain loudest on line. Not so. I’ve had my Laramie for 4 months now, and it’s spent about 3 of them in for repairs. The sunroof leaked and caused mold in the cab. The eTorque engine battery failed and there was a multi week wait for replacement parts. The eTorque engine gets worse mileage in city or on highway driving than the non eTorque V8 Hemi. The tow mirrors get stuck facing down when you go from R to D. Random pieces of trim seem to have issues staying attached to the truck at highway speeds. The brakes make all sorts of noise they can’t fix. I’ve learned from making small talk at the dealership waiting area many many owners are having problems. Maybe not all of them, but you will live with a chronic state of anxiety about what will fail next on the 2019s. My advice is to stay away until the 2020s come out and have a time to prove whether Chrysler has their act together on quality and reliability or not.

2019 Ram Rear Bed Defect

Beware the Ram and its rear bed assembly! My daughter's truck has a gap where two bed seems are supposed to join. She didn't notice it until several days post purchase. She informed the dealer and Fiat. Fiat will not replace the bed! The dealer would like to see it replaced but does not want to bare the cost. The dealer inventoried the lot and stated 40% of the Rams have the same defect! After several months of stalling and just wearing down my daughter, she agreed to basically a bubble gum and duct tape fix. She needed the truck returned to her for her business. An attorney was a thought but go expensive for what was going to be a much longer battle. This gap between the seams of the bed was wide enough to see the ground underneath! 40% are defects so beware! Bring back Chrysler to American ownership and know how please!

Disappointed in my 2019 ram 1500 Laramie

First time reviewer here. Positives- Beautiful truck with a high class feel and comfortable ride. A lot of features for a decent price. Negatives- had mine for less than a month and have less than a thousand miles on it and I have already experienced the steering sticking when slightly turning left or right at any speed. When braking it makes a sound like the brake pads are worn, but it must be the rotors because it is brand new. The light on the back of the truck for the bed stayed on even though the truck had been turned off and locked for 20 minutes. GPS only works through the app. If you turn off the truck without putting it in park it will automatically put it in park for you which is great, but you have to turn the truck back then off to turn all of the electronics off. When taking a left turn today I heard a slight pop in the front of the truck. The transmission is not as smooth as you would expect, it has "clunked" into gear several times. I do believe I have my first lemon out of the 9 cars/trucks I have owned. I should have waited, and I recommend you do too.

I've owned the truck a week and with the first rain the drivers carpet is soaked. Took it to the dealer and they resealed the window, replaced the door weather stripping and it still leaks. Next there going to take a look behind the fire wall. This is the first Ram I've owned and the last. It's a 2019 RAM 1500 Tradesman with the 5.7L. There is no way to select that in the drop down menu since that trim is not there.

Check with your dealer on what the lemon law is for your state before buying this vehicle. Actually the model is the Laramie 4x4 and is the 5.7 HEMI version with adv safety group. The manufacturer is not trustworthy and will bide it's time before ever evening considering the vehicle is defective. Poor marks to RAM corporate and my local dealership in NJ.

TOO many issues for a new vehicle

Bought my truck new and a few months later had to have it towed from the driveway as the key sensor went out and the truck would not detect that there was a key nearby. 3 months later rear window is leaking and carpet is soaked and there is mold growing all throughout the vehicle. Dealership didn't want to resolve issues and had to escalate to FCA and they were no help either. I have owned several RAM trucks since 1995 and this will be my last. Actually, it will be my last FCA product all together as the quality just doesn't match the competitors any longer.

Hands down the best value on a truck. I have driven Toyota all my life and when I started shopping Ram was #4 on my list. I am sure glad that I did my research. I don't feel sorry for people that are brand loyal. If you don't do your homework then you can end up not getting the best deal. Man Chevy really needs to step up their game. Cheap cheap cheap is all I see when I look at it after having the Ram and knowing what quality looks like. Toyota has had the same truck since 2009. Ford are too pricey and the ecoboost not every one, but I know enough people who have had the engine to blow up before 100 000 miles due to the turbo pushing the motor too hard . Average about 14-16 mpg in the city in the ram and 18-20 on the Hwy. Which you do not buy a truck for gas mileage for the most part. Some have gotten worse and better. The interior of the ram is so nice with more room than any other of the 4 trucks. Plenty of charging ports. Plenty of storage space all throughout. Love the heated and cooled seats with suede and leather. Love the way it handles the road with no outside noise. Love the interior lights at night time all through the trim of the interior which you can have on in the truck while driving so it's not too dark and you can see all of the inside without it being distracting. High definition backup camera is very nice with the backup and blind spot sensors. If you have trouble backing into things this is the answer for that because it will not let you hit anything. It will automatically stop the truck before impact. Tows my boat and utility trailer like a dream. Also blind spot monitors loads up to right at 20+ ft or so automatically. Nice automatic folding power mirrors with defrost and integrated turn signals. I like it because you can't see the signals in the truck but when people are behind it they really make a difference. Top all that off with the best paint jobs in the market and factory 20 - 22 inch wheels with 15 inch 4 corner disk brakes. To keep from writing a book I will stop at that. Go drive one. You will not be disappointed.

Overall its a good truck. I went with the 3.6l for fuel economy but will definitely end up switching to the hemi or the eco diesel to make sure I can tow evertyhing that I need to. The quad cab has plenty of room for me with my daugthers car seat. The shifter knob takes some getting used to but isn't horrible. Also the truck doesnt have as much get up and go as id like but i expected that especially because mine doesnt have the eTorque.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My lease is up March 2019 went to the dodge dealer to test drive 2019 ram first off looks like a ford F1 50 feels like driving a car not a truck .headlights and tail lights ugly .real bumper does not have that pick up truck look. The mirrors do not fold .no towhooks I will say interior is beautiful that's about it I will buy out my 2016 and wait till 2000 2021 when the TRX rebel comes out . I think Dodge is going to have plenty of these left in the lots by the end of next year .don't see many on the road.

The back window frame will crack and that will allow water to leak in. Chrysler will not own it and recall it, dealerships dont want to replace it. It will take forever to get your truck fixed and back on the road. Avoid it, get a chevy, my silverado never leaked, strong truck. 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie 5.7L V8 Crew Cab

Prior to buying my Ram I was a sedan guy coming from two Acuras and a Mercedes. I love a smooth comfortable ride. I was talked into looking at trucks and I gave it a shot. I chose the Ram because at the time it was brand newly designed, but it also had the most comfortable, smoothest ride of any truck on the market. 7 years later I have freaking loved my Ram Rebel so much, it was the perfect truck for me and I’ll never go back to a sedan or SUV. In fact I’m looking for another new Ram right now and I’m passing this one on to my daughter.
Love my ram truck

I recently purchased my new RAM 1500 primarily for towing an R-Pod travel trailer. Towing was a strain on my prior mid-size SUV so I decided to upgrade to a half ton pickup. I’ve owned many Ford 150’s through my work, and Chevy/GMC was on my short list, but I looked first at the RAM based on the high Edmunds rating, and the Motor Trend Truck-of-the-Year awards. I was first looking “used” but when visiting the dealer I discovered they still had a few new 2019’s on the lot. One had everything I was looking for - 5.7 Hemi, BigHorn, with tow package, for just a little more than the used truck I had originally come in to test drive. 7,000 mile update - zero-zilch-nada negative issues to report. Truck has performed flawlessly and is a pleasure to drive. The negative reviews on this vehicle I think were due to an above average number of initial recalls. In my case all recalls had been performed before I purchased the vehicle.
