The truck looks great it is pretty comfortable, although some comforts are mediocre. For example the sunvisor, an inch gap on the left and when you swing it around to the side window and inch gap behind it. it’s amazing how often the sun flashes through those two openings hitting your eyeballs. really? They couldn’t make them an inch longer for $67,000 truck. When I put it in reverse, I don’t need both mirrors to look at the ground, I need just one of them to, the other one I need to use to look behind me. Fortunately the surround camera solves that problem when backing out of my steep narrow driveway. In these modern times why doesn’t it auto lock when I walk away from the truck? You know like my four-year-old Ridgeline did. I do love the 12 inch display not sure why they made the size of the clock set at a quarter inch tall… How many young people with great eyes can afford to buy this thing? The GPS software is awful, it doesn’t show you the lane usage ahead on the freeway, it’s constantly telling me the speed is 55 when it’s 25 and there’s nothing with that speed within a mile. Most of the options on the map adds an extra button push “want to go here?” yes “route now?” yes. it’s not Garman. I’m 6’6”, seat all the way back, adjusted petals always forward my foot still rust on them when my legs stretched out. The armrest is like 2 inches wide not a lot of room for a big guys arm and I’m skinny skinny tall guy. The dash lights go from really dim to dim and then really bright I really want someplace between the dim and the really bright. The heads up display is fantastic I didn’t know how I’d like it but I really like it and the programming is flexible for what you want displayed. The only full USBs or next to each other in the front of the center consul the one in the back of the center consul where you might want to hide your iPod out of site, it’s just for charging, really Ram? The panoramic sunroof is beautiful, some nights I get home tired and just want to recline the seat and stare at the stars. I have the Rambox, they’re having to replace one complete insert because it wouldn’t close right and the fit and trim was embarrassing. One box had a 4 mm gap the other one 7 mm. Coming from the Honda Ridgeline with the trunk in the bed, I love the Rambox. The multifunction tailgate is also great. Oh the lane keep…. This is where Ram hired some old engineers, whose last job was working on Pong video games. It has absolutely no finesse, when it sees the line it turns the other direction no attempt to “keep“ you in the lane, it simply turns you away from the line. It shouldn’t be called Lane Keep, it should be called “look out, a line!” That Ridgeline, with its four year old technology, actually “kept” you in the center of your lane, it would simply wiggle the steering wheel if you cross the line. it really took the stress off of your wrist on long trips of winding freeways. All the technology to do it right is on the Ram, but instead of using it, the program it like a pong video games. I’ll get use to it, have no choice, I do like the truck, I know these issues are not the American worker, it is the American company, my Honda was made in Alabama or Arkansas, it seems Japanese standards are just higher. I only have 1400 miles, and my mileage us running around 13.5/mpg with my V6 eTorque… I’ll wait to see if it improves greatly or they fix something that’s not right. It should be getting 19 to 24, 21 average. My fear is, the fit and trim is as bad inside the engine, as on the outside of the truck. I’ve sent emails to the service manager and salesman of the dealership I bought it from, I’ve got to get a response. (The model of this truck is a 2021 1500 Rebel, loaded, Edmonton doesn’t I have that option for some reason)

Should have bought an F 150

Brand new Ram 1500 Longhorn stranded us in Big Bend Park due to charging system issue. After a 2 1/2 hour tow truck ride to nearest dealership in Ft Stockton, Tx we were informed that the dealership had to work with Chrysler Corporate prolong repair time by at least an extra day! No car rental places in Ft Stockton so we’re stuck. Dealership offered no transportation. Chrysler “customer care” is an absolute joke. 100% run-around and 0% action. I was leery about Chrysler products to begin with. Should have bought another F150. Don’t be seduced by outward appearances. Chrysler products are unreliable and the company only gives lip service to taking care of customer issues. Never again.

Olive green Laramie sport level 2 options package with a few extras. The bad: the exterior styling is not as bold or aggressive looking, I plan a 3/2 leveling kit to improve stance. 23 gallon fuel tank is a little small. Seat control pack falls off daily, and upholstery tab on passenger seat pops off often. The good: fuel economy is better than previous models and I like the engine cut off at stop option. The great: the interior is ridiculously comfortable and I really like the seat styling with the velvet look. Bucket seat version console design is also excellent as is the gauge set up and steering wheel controls are highly intuitive. The 12 inch screen and phone integration are great, but it's weird not having knobs and dials, but I'm liking it. Overall the interior steals the show and rivals any luxury car on the market. The ride: effortless power, the 395 horse etorque handles the MT mountains like a flat surface and you don't feel gear changes. I switched back to a 1500 from a 4runner, this truck makes that feel like a lumber wagon in comparison. Integrated trailer brakes, a zoom function on the camera make towing and hitching easy. Overall the only reason it's a 4 rather than a 5 are the stance/ride height and standard tank size.

Really Bad Mileage, 13 MPG on the Highway

Right now my 2021 RAM 1500 Limited 4x4 averaged 13.1 MPG on the highway, that's is correct. Even less in the city driving. Two dealerships cannot find any issue because there isn't any codes popping up. Purchased the truck for all the bells and whistles has 33 gallon tank, can barely get 400 miles. My monthly ride from San Antonio, TX to Jena, LA is 498 miles. My 2018 Silverado w/6.2L 4x4 and a 26 Gallon tank could make the trip all the way with 2 gallons to spare, When I filled up in Pineville coming back. Now Dodge Customer Service is telling that because they can't find an issue, i.e. a error code, there's nothing they can do about it.

I have always been a chevy guy owning two brand new chevy 1500s both lifted off the lot and one duramax 2500. Drive them until they're done as I drive 200 miles a day for almost two decades. Finally needed a new truck and figured I would test drive a ram as I have had numerous incidents with the unprofessional actions with chevys service department during times I had mechanical issues with chevy.... Anyway I loved the 2021 dodge ram 1500 Laramie I test drove, it was sooooo smooth and so comfortable. I did end up buying it in silver and have had it 3 months now. Have just hit 11k miles and have had absolutely no problems with this truck. Would definitely recommend this truck.
