Bought new 1500 in 2021 with 4 miles. 2022- slips into limp mode, dealer says bad oil filter. 2023 slips into limp mode, dealer says bad oil filter. DEC 2024 (57,000 miles) slips into limp mode and brought it to a local shop. Shop says needs new transmission and 10k in other work, told to bring to dealer. Dealer agrees to fix transmission ONLY under warranty. I ask about rental and dealer agrees to reimburse for rental. End of February finally get vehicle back from dealer and immediately trade in for Toyota. Its now the end of March and and I am still chasing the rental reimbursement.

I have no idea why Edmunds doesn’t have the option for a Rebel with the 5.7 Hemi, but that is what I have. Bought it new with 19 miles on it and it’s now at 88K. Simply the best truck and truly the best vehicle I have ever owned. It replaced a 2014 Tahoe that was a beautiful vehicle but cost me an absolute fortune with non-stop issues! I have done nothing but oil changes, tires and tune up at 50K, and brakes. It had two recalls in the last 4 years but they were both very minor and dealer had them done very quickly. I have had F150, F250, Ranger and a Silverado 1500 over the years and this truck outshines them all! The ride is buttery soft, it’s dependable as they come! Plus it looks beautiful and has so much interior room! I can’t say enough good things about this truck and I test drove an F150, Silverado and a Honda Ridgeline before I bought it and have never looked back. Reading some of these reviews drove me nuts so I felt like I needed to leave my own. Especially the guy who gave it 2 stars because of the noise and vibration when you have just the one rear passenger window down…absolutely ridiculous! That is every modern car! Take it from someone who knows trucks. This is the one you want!

Positive: we have owned 8 Dodges (Ram) trucks and have had amazing dependability. From the highway to the swamps of Florida with water over the hood! We really love our 2021 Ram and are planning to get a 2023 in November, #9. Except for our first Dodge they have all been HEMIS. The model selection below does not have our model. Rebel Nite Edition 5.7 4WD level 2 package. Negatives: NONE!
