*** update - now almost 12,500 miles later , almost 1 year old , and FCA still has me driving an unsafe car. Stay far away , especially if it’s the e-tourque engine , I’m on a forum confirming this engine is the problem , have dash cam footage of stalls and I’m still driving it. ****4500 miles and three problems , 1 is huge. Engine stalls when pulling into traffic. Been at the dealer for almost 2 weeks and they can’t duplicate it so therefore in their eyes it didn’t happen. Resolution - put a customer back in an unsafe truck that stalls without any hesitation for safety concerns . They’ve called me to pick up my truck saying nothing they can do and they don’t care they are putting their customers in a truck that could crash. I’ve seen on a forum in the past month 4-5 others with the same issue. Ram corporate and customer care backs this decision too to return me into a truck that stalls. No one cares. Oh by the way my reverse camera intermittently doesn’t works and I have to have the clockspring in the steering wheel replaced. Been a nightmare. Stay away

I had a 2015 Outdoorsman with a winch and after market rear bumper. It went 75K miles for me and then finally let me down while towing a 6500 lb travel trailer and it was going to be at least a week or two as no one could figure out what was wrong. Well, they still offered my over 5,000 bucks more than a year ago on a trade and this new one a "Built to Serve" edition was sitting there and the final price was right at the one I bought six years ago for financing. So, what has changed in five years? Well they are four inches longer. I didn't know that but do every time I try to park it. There are more bells and whistles for sure. So, here at first what stands out? It is the luxurious feel of this truck. I mean it is so smooth driving it is amazing. It is quiet inside and the dogs love the back with their extra four inches of space with the seats up out of the way. The truck is NOT my daily driver anymore and is mostly dedicated to towing the trailer and going to the transfer station and some light off roading in interesting places here in Montana. It certainly has the equipment to do that so now it is just seeing how it does over time. First impressions are a highly refined but still assuredly a beast. I got it to tow and it has the tow package. THAT I like including the trailer TPMS monitor. The sleeper package I didn't really want was the Ramboxes and the new "barn door" tailgate. OK, two weeks into it and I am really starting to like them. The Ramboxes are huge and FOR MY NEEDS, don't get in the way of space in the bed. AND, Going to the transfer station I open the doors and not the "tail gate" and can reach everything instead of having to throw half my body on the tail gate to reach stuff. OH, get the premium light package period. The LED headlights are worth their weight in gold compared to the old ones. Make that a must. But if gas mileage is a problem for you? Get a prius. Well, I got rid of the 1500. Not because I had a problem as such, but because it didn't tow my 6700 lb travel trailer as good as I needed. I bought a "22" 2500 in the same color and love it. So, IF you do NOT tow over 6000 lbs, I would actually go for a 1500 over a 2500. The Gen 5 1500 in a Bighorn trim and up is essentially a luxury daily driver with some very good capabilities for towing...up to around 6K in perfect comfort. The ride vs a 2500 is amazing. The 2500 is a truck and rides like a truck. It has the luxurious interior but less room in the cab as the dogs will attest to. I loved my 1500's all three of them, but IF you are going to tow and generally go above 6K on your trailer and above 25 feet, you might want to consider a 2500. It is a completely different "towing" experience...in a good way. A 2500 will be more "planted" and less subject to the wind. A 1500 never lets you forget you are towing...something that big... A 2500 gives you a bit more peace of mind and less stress... But basically, on both of them, I was happy...

This truck is amazing. The comfort level is off the charts and there's more than enough power for what I tow. There are a few things to be aware of, but not complaints.. The night edition came with a 3.92 rear end which is so far giving me an average of about 15mpg even with Etorque, for reference my 2017 with the 3.21 rear end averaged about 17 mpg. I did replace the stock tires pretty quickly with cooper AT3 4s to better suit my needs though this didn't seem to effect the mpg. The new tires gave me a little better handling on curvy roads. The only real problem with the truck is that I don't want to stop driving it. Update: truck was great but I treaded for a refresh Chevy 1500 diesel for mpg. Big mistake, should have stayed with Ram.

I purchased a Ivory 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie Crew Cab 4x4 with the 5.7 Hemi (no e-torque), level 2 and night package. 10000 miles on it now, 1800 of them towing a travel trailer weighing 6500 pounds. It’s been a perfect vehicle. Not one issue to date. 22 mpg on the highway. It’s a very comfortable cruiser. Even my wife loves driving it. Update Feb 2024. Other than new tires no issues. Still love driving it. Still great fuel economy for a truck. The only thing that could make me part with it is a 2025 Ram Charger.

I have a 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie v.8 with etourque. Same issue as others in that its stalled twice now while driving and I almost caused a major crash. I have logged a case with the NHTSA, hoping they hurry up and figure out what is wrong. Brought to dealer, similar to other cases dealer cant do anything about it because there are no error codes. SCARY! How do I put my wife and kids in this going forward. Under 2k miles! I agree with positive ratings on comfort, was a F150 guy before feel like this rides better, more comfortable and stylish but not worth the risk!

Just replaced my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 2021 Ram 1500 ecodiesel. Nothing come close to the RAM in term of interior quality and comfort and the ride quality ( steel suspension) Put my first 1000 miles and my fuel average is 24.8 MPG, on HWY I get solid 28 MPG with my 3.92 gears. I thought I will never love trucks and their ride but RAM changed it. Excellent job RAM team!!!

It started out great than right before I owned the car for two weeks all alerts popped up up for esc along w front and rear park assist. Unfortunately it didn’t stop there. It couldn’t longer shift while hitting 7k rpm. It began to smoke from underneath, only to notice leaking transmission fluid. Contact Ram customer which gave me a case number bc I dealer can’t find the issues. It is a 2021 LARAMIE with only 450 miles. Should’ve went w F-150. At 5800 miles the truck completely died and spent 4 weeks at the dealer where they replaced the battery pack and MGU. Not what I would expect but let’s hope this resolved all the issues.

Vibration that can’t be solved

I custom ordered/ received a 2021 night edition 1500. After several months of the dealer and FCA experimenting with wheel balance/ tire replacement, driveshaft replacement, alignment, calibration of anti vibration modules and full rear axle replacement, the issue only became worse. At 691 miles, FCA purchased the truck back under lemon law. Then they resold it at auction (not as a lemon).

I have a 2021 ram rebel with pretty much everything on it. Sticker mileage was 19/22/24, complete BS and I think they know it. Salesman use the sticker to sell it, Service department, of two dealers, and the corporate, so called customer liaison, immediately said sticker means nothing (it’s a lie, we know it just to sell you a truck, apparently) Or if how How I drive the truck including putting the cruise control on for a couple hours driving on a flat road in the central valley. The best mileage nursing it, coasting to a stop, trying to keep the Econo light on as much as possible, freeway, country, city, is 16 miles per gallon. It’s a V-6 etorque. At this point I’d be happy to get the 19 as my best number. I believe this is what happens when corporations own politicians, they can lie and get away with it. The second thing is, what they call Lane Assist, is not, it’s a poorly done version of lane departure. I turned it off of after trying it for two months I almost felt like it made things less safe it sure didn’t do anything to keep you in your lane. Lane keep is old technology now, I had it on my ‘17 Honda ridgeline it was a great feature especially on long trips. Everything else about the truck I like, I wish it had more options to use the eTouque battery, or monitoring of it you on camp trips, I’d be happy with a better understanding of it you can’t find much information on it. I don’t even know if the electric motor working. I don’t think the service department‘s know enough about the technologies of these trucks to fix anything that’s not replacing the part, if they had to replace the engine I bet they learn how. In the long run the bad gas mileage is going to cost me thousands over the life of the truck.

Coming from a nice 2015 GMC Sierra to this 2021 Ram Limited is like night and day. The Ram drives better, responds better, and has more safety features than I ever thought possible in a truck. It’s a luxury car inside a fortress. Happy with my purchase for sure.

Returned My 1500 TRX The Day After I Bought It

I put in and order for a 2021 TRX in December and just picked it up yesterday. 16 miles new. The car is beautiful, interior amazing and electronics great. The problem was when driving it, the car just shut down! 20 miles new and the car shut down in the middle of the road while driving. The fact that a car can do this is mind boggling. It would not start again until I lifted the hood and closed it. It kept shutting down while attempting to take it back home and as long as I opened the hood and closed it, it started again. It shut down about 15 times in a 5 mile span. If we have been going faster and in traffic, a major accident would have happened. The car is being returned to dealership today. I cannot take the risk of this happening ever again.

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)

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.

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.

Under 10,000 miles, had to replace all fuel filters which ended up not being the problem. Took back and had to replace the whole gas tank. Still issues, so went back and replaced the O2 sensor. Now when coming to a stop it lurches forward and heading back to the service station for possible more repairs. After saving for 12 years to buy this truck I really didn't want to be on a first name basis with the service department, but here we are. Just hit 13,000 miles so I am concerned about the reliability of this vehicle which is why I sold my previous vehicle and bought new.
Super good truck!

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.

I have had several Ram trucks. My last was a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn. In the 10 years I owned it all I had to do was routine maintenance as stated in the owners manual. It was simply oil, filters, tires and one battery. I knew how that truck was comfortable to ride in and a pleasure to drive. Our 2021 Ram 1500 limited rode and drove even better. It was very quite on highway driving and had the power when asked for. I noticed it has better gas mileage then my 2009 Ram. The new truck has more capability and features then my old truck. The interior is superior. The seats extremely comfortable. I have had three back surgeries and the seats are important and these seats will help me in long trips. You would have to see all the capabilities the UCONNECT system has. Way too many to list but the upgrades to the system makes motoring easier. I would not only recommend the new Ram but I would put it up against any of the other competitors. As I said it has the looks, rides and up graded technology to make it the best truck you could own. I will have this truck for the next plus ten years as my 2009. I’m sure future owners will be as happy as I am with my new Ram. One last thing you will see that you get more for your money with a Ram then any other truck.

Shopped Ford XLT and Chevrolet LTZ before settling on Ram Laramie. The Laramie, in my opinion, is the dominant half ton truck. All trucks was comparable in pricing, Ford couldn’t compete in price, neither did Chevrolet. I traded in a 2020 F150 XLT that actually stickered more the the Ram Laramie and the Ford didn’t have near the options or ride quality. I used Motorttrend reviews for comparison and they were spot on. The Chevrolet LTZ was a nice ride, however my dealer Greenway Ram Florence Alabama beat their deal by $9,000 dollars. Very satisfied with this Ram.

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.

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.
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

Always wanted an eco diesel. Got a good price on a 2021 with many options and the crew cab. I took it on a long road trip with my wife. The second day I had it and it drove great, we drove through a flash flood and pouring rain,the four-wheel-drive auto option gives you peace of mind. I calculate at the pump when I fill up the first full tank was over 31 miles per gallon. Also I found diesel for a really good price near me . I have had it for a few weeks so far it is a great truck and I will update my review as I own it longer.

Have about 1200 miles on my truck and no issues so far. The interior is great. The truck is quiet at highway speeds. The ride is unbelievably comfortable. The sounds system is fantastic. There is a reason this truck has won Motor Trend’s a Truck of the Year 3 years running. It’s great!

My first oil change done by the dealership and a cracked oil pan. 11 days in the shop waiting for a new pan. 9500 miles leaking transmission fluid, pulley rubbing against the transmission line caused a ruptured. 10 days in the shop waiting for a new transmission line.

It has a constant thumping noise. This happens from 25 MPH to 55 MPH. I live in a small City and that is my most speeds driven. The dealer says it is caused by the e-torque and is normal. I have driven it 1000 miles and it has been to dealer 3 times to fix oil leak and another 3 times to fix closing of split tail gate. Worst new vehicle I have ever owned.

DO NOT BUY A RAM. IT IS NOT AS ADVERTISED I've had my 2021 Bighorn (Hemi 5.7L, RAM equipment level 2) for over a year, and it has had problems from the beginning. It started with just burning tons of oil, then became surging at idle. The dealership had me do an oil consumption test, where I drive for 1K miles, and they see how much oil I burned. The way that Ferman Dodge in Tampa measures this is as follows: 1) Pull the dipstick 2) Look at the dipstick 3) Without measuring anything, tell the customer and Stellantis that it's burning 1Qt per 1K miles (magically, this is the warranty cutoff, RAM is OK with burning 1Qt per 1K miles) 4) Deny the repair, and give back the truck RAM customer service is no help at all, since they go with whatever Ferman's $15/hr oil change guy says. I SPENT $50K ON THIS TRUCK JUST TO GET TREATED LIKE AN A**H**E. Additionally, you should know that $50K DOESN'T get you: 1) True keyless entry, you will need the key in your hand to push the unlock button 2) Blind Spot monitoring 3) A low range gearbox. Towing something? I hope it's light. 4) Volume adjustment for bluetooth phone calls or navigation. That's right, for $50K, you can't change the volume of a phone call OR guided navigation. It's always at 200 decibels. 5) A bedliner. This seems insignificant, but you're going to spend an additional $500+ to get a bedliner put in (They are standard on Ford and Chevy trucks). Coincidentally, I now have a 2021 Ram Bighorn for sale, if you know anyone who's looking. The dealership says it's in great shape. I'm looking forward to buying my new F-150.

Every bell and whistle I could imagine, including heated steering, rear heated seats, 12" display and HUD. FIRST WORLD PROBLEM: Steering wheel gets too hot and wish there was a temperature adjustment. Rebel rides really nice. I'll need to check back and update my review at 10, 20, and 30 thousand miles.

This review is for a 2021 Laramie trim Hemi e-torque-Short bed w/Off-Road package(it wasn’t in the list here). Caveat-Old truck was a 2001 Ford F-150 SuperCrew-so I understand truck technology has come quite a ways since that purchase. The Ram’s suspension and handling rides incredibly well. Like a luxury sedan. Super quiet with the onboard noise cancellation. Drives smaller than it is. This is a big comfortable bank vault. Gas mileage is utterly horrendous (probably not as bad as the TRX), but this engine moves the truck smartly and effortlessly under all traffic conditions. The avionics/technology package is pretty impressive, especially the giant configurable iPad sized screen on the dash-hard to go back to the smaller screen in my wife’s Grand Cherokee or our other car after using that. As big as this truck is, the mirrors, cameras, sensors and windows work quite well to maneuver efficiently into tight parking spaces.

115,000 miles and this truck has never let me down or been in the shop for any repairs. I do all my own maintenance. Regular oil changes with approved oils only. Filters, tires, one set of brakes and that's it. The cab is comfortable and the drive is quiet. I get outstanding fuel economy, and used the truck to tow a fairly heavy tow hauler for several years before buying a dedicated towing vehicle. I had intended to sell the 1500 when I purchased a 2500, but the ride quality, comfort and fuel economy made that decision too difficult and I now have two Rams in the driveway. One is a daily and the other is for heavy work. The Eco Diesel motor is quiet, composed and powerful. At 60,000 miles I did a stage 1 tune for the engine and the transmission and the truck is nearly as quick as a hemi, but far more composed and quiet. I commute 40 miles each way to work and usually average around 25 miles per gallon. It's a shame the 3.0 diesel engines have been discontinued. My previous ram was a 5.7 hemi and I would not want another. That motor sounded like it was going to self destruct and I'm glad I sold it before it had any major issues. The Eco Diesel reputation isn't great, but regular maintenance has paid off in my case. I expect to have this truck for many years to come. It's holding up great, still looks sharp, the interior is holding up well. The truck still looks and drives amazing.

Love it! Fantastic truck that has a great ride. I had a Hellcat and a Ram Big Horn so I combined them into my TRX. I don’t regret it for a second. The gas mileage isn’t that great but I didn’t buy it for that. It brings a smile to my face every time I drive it.

As other reviews have said, the suspension gives this truck a very smooth ride; supposedly attributed to the old style rear suspension. The interior fit and finish is comparable to most luxury SUV. The rear seat room is fantastic, plenty of room for 3 teenage grandchildren.

Problem is that only unhappy owners writing reviews. I have no doubt that RaM is the best truck in class. I switch from f-150 and this is my second Ram in 8 Years. Very comfortable and soft drive, lowest maintenance cost among competitors.

The auto fil form won't allow me to select the 'RAM Classic Night' edition but that's what i have. It runs and drives okay but is not at all comfortable. Mediocre seats and very little storage or organization for small items. Not even in the same league as a comparably priced Ford or Chevy product. Feels old and tired.

So I have a 2021 ram1500 limited eco diesel. Only a couple things I like about this truck after having it for a year. They are air suspension and heated steering wheel. Now for the bad I could go on for pages but I’ll keep it somewhat short engine has a serious lack of power ,seats are super uncomfortable though they would break in and soften up some,radio and navigation systems are horrible never wants to load directions(don’t even attempt to use anymore), also has a very large blind spot from front pillars,and lastly let’s go back to a shifter not the stupid turn dial!!
