No power after 800 miles

I went for an oil change at the dealer at 800 miles and when we drove out both the wife and I noticed it has lost power under acceleration. Had to go on a long trip so did not bother to check again but changed the oil at 3000 miles and followed the break in instructions based on the owners manual. Came back and decided to do a horsepower check at 8000 miles. It is doing zero to sixty in 9.5 seconds instead of the advertised 6.2 seconds meaning half the horsepower is gone. It is putting out only 247 horses instead of the advertised 390 horsepower. Despite this obvious issue the dealer keeps blowing me off and saying there is nothing wrong with the truck but would refuse to even do a blow by test or compression check. I am still waiting to hear back from them but based on the pushback and the follow up or lack thereof from RAM I would hesitate to buy another one of these trucks ever again. Why would anyone dealer or manufacture give you a run around and push back like this? Because they are getting away with it and very few people actual do a power test on their truck to see if it has the power advertised.

Best truck I’ve ever driven

I’ve driven quite a few trucks for personal and work use and this is by far and away the best truck I’ve ever driven. Ram 2022 limited night edition with all options (12” UC5, MF tailgate, ramboxes, 3.21 gears, pano-roof, 5.7 eTorque) ticked except for the camera towing package. Quietest cabin, throaty V8, stunning sound system, smoothest ride with the auto start and stop almost imperceptible, and tons of technology that hasn’t disappointed. My only fear is that it has sooooooo much in here that can break, but Edmonds and consumer reports rates it highly despite all those risk factors. Had to take a chance. Way better than the Fords and GMC’s that I’ve loved. It’s just a huge step up.

This is by far the worst vehicle I have ever purchased. Here is a list of the issues that I have had in the first 5000 miles....and the dealer tells me to just live with them. 1. cant back with tailgate down because the sensors are blocked and it will lock the brakes. 2. if you have the audio on bluetooth, it will randomly switch to FM radio VERY VERY LOUD 3. the auto shutoff when stopped will shut off before stopping and then come back on and lurch forward. 4. Occasionally, the backup camera stays on until you shut off vehicle and start back up(and you cannot use anything in the meantime) 5. Traffic doesnt work 6.occasionally, if you have the vehicle running in a parking lot, while waiting for someone, the hazards will come on and it is impossible to shut off without turning off the vehicle and turning back on. 7. The truck will randomly switch to 2 wheel drive, which is a problem in the winter in MN 8. Shifting is horrible. But apparently, these are all things we need to live with.

4k rpm issue under excessive throttle

Just writing this incase any 23 owners have this issue. So I live in the country. 55mph roads. Well there's this 1 certain area near my house that this issue happens the most at. I'm at a stop sign waiting for traffic. When it's clear enough to go I have to give it heavy throttle to get up to 55mph. It's a busy street so it's more throttle than normal. When I do this about 1 out of every 5 times about, the trucks rpm bar stops at 4k rpm and won't switch gears causing me to only go 35-40 mph. The truck sounds like it's just keeps reving up with my foot on the gas but the bar stays at 4k. I have to wait a few seconds till the revs comeback below 4k then it works fine and it'll drive normal. Now this is a safety issue. Had someone almost rear-ended me because I couldn't get up to the speed limit. So I took it into the dealer and they think it's a computer issue in the trans. They have to try and duplicate the issue then contact ram to see what they can do about this. The service manager seemed very concerned and eager to get to the bottom of this for me. However I'm now without a truck till they do. I may come back and update with what they find and hopefully they can fix it and don't have to enact my states lemon laws on this truck. Everything else about the trucks amazing. 23 ram 1500 rebel gt 5.7 etorq. Fully loaded and ordered from factory. Basically the truck I've always wanted and waited 6 months for...here's to hoping it's not to bad and that ram isn't run by [non-permissible content removed].
