Used 2021 Ram 1500 Consumer Reviews
Deployed airbags no collision
2021 dodge ram 1500 Laramie purchased 12.21.20. On 10.1.21 with less than 5000 miles, driving 59 mph with cruise engaged, brake system engaged and both sides of truck airbags deployed. Ram sent 3rd party dealer to investigate black box. Data said truck was at 130 degree roll rate implying a rollover occurred or was about to occur and airbags worked as they should. No marks at all on truck. Ram refused to talk about it or answer any questions from us or dealership. Dealership fixed the truck but we had to pay the whole bill. There was no accident so insurance wasn't paying. Love the truck but Ram customer service is a joke. They take no accountability in problem with their product and put it back on the consumer.
Learned to love it.
I'll be honest and say I fell for some high pressure sales tactic on my Ram and ended up with some serious buyers remorse. However after about 5 months of ownership and seeing what the truck is truly capable of I now love this vehicle and plan on keeping it for a long time. Its the quietest riding vehicle i've ever driven, it gets decent MPG for a V8 (I have the e-torque and it helps a little) The engine purrs quietly and under load it doesnt struggle to keep up. It also handles like a dream in the snow.

They Removed so many great Features on the 5th Gen
They have made this Truck so Difficult and Expensive to try and customize, They removed many of the Great features of past Trucks. Examples Under seat Storage with fold down.. Wi Fi Hot Spot, Bed Lighting and other little things. Of course these are available for an extra price but Dealerships order packages that make no sense to a Customer. So finding exactly what you want is difficult and finding OE parts to Add is almost impossible try to find OE under seat storage with fold down and even simple stuff, I went to get bed Lights at the Dealership they wanted 150 for the lights 149.99 to install they told me they have to program the Computer to except the lights which you have to do with almost every option you want added. Getting the Computer reprogramed is a charge so if you bought them and put them in yourself it's still $75 to get them programed to work. Also why in the World would you make a 23 Gallon tank standard on a Hemi even if it has E torque. I went with a ECO diesel with 26 gallon but looked at many Hemi with E torque all had a 23 Gallon Tank. I had 33 Gallon in my last one (Hemi) and still felt like I was at the Gas station all the time. This is why Ram falls back to #3 in sales Dumb Ideas... Also if you increase the Price of the Trucks every Year and remove Features People like you are Doomed to Fail. Update 6-11-2021 This Truck has the WORST lag put the Pedal to the Floor to try and pull out into traffic and you might as well Kiss your but goodbye. It will not go it has like a 2 to 3 sec delay before it starts to move!!! DANGEROUS. Update, The More I drive this Truck I keep comparing it to My 2018 Ram 1500 Personally I Hate this 5th Gen Cost way more missing a Ton of features and is the MOST Dangerous Truck I have ever Driven It just won't go and everything I used is gone.. I should of bought the GMC AT4

Leather upholstery lacks quality and durability
Less than 15,000 and leather seats already wearing out. ram doesn't stand by quality and will not repair when it wears out on you.
I’ve owned many, this is the one I miss the most
I had the diesel engine. Mileage was unbelievable, really quiet, big and comfortable seats. I’ve owned a BMW, Mercedes, Toyota, Ford, Cadillac, even a Corvette, and this is the one I miss the most.
