I bought my Ram in Nov with 20 miles on it, and just rolled over 10K, so far it's been 100% reliable, and a fun vehicle to drive. I went from a 500+ hp Mustang Cobra to this truck, and while I do miss the accleration and handling, overall the truck definitely makes up for the Mustang.

If you drive in dusty conditions know ac condenser plugged in 6 mths. But biggest problem has been electrical, flasher and dome light goes on and off for no reason. Truck has been at Dodge dealer for close to 2 mths and we still do not have an eta.

Poor Towing capabilities-5th wheel

I traded my Laramie Hemi for a 2500 diesel because the upper limit on the Hemi was only 10,000 lbs towing. We were buying a fifth wheel which was 12,000 lbs. When I got it home and did some last minute research before buying the fifth wheel we picked out, I found it could not tow it. I am sitting here in shock after spending $70k on a truck with one purpose and it isn't capable. THe towing number is fine at over 17,000 lbs.....but the payload capacity is only 2274 lbs. The fifth wheel is fairly light at 1980 lbs and if I go by myself on vacation it would be OK....but adding passengers, dogs, clothes...I'm 400 lbs over. Chevy and FOrd have no prob.em here and are in the 4000 lb p

Whoever engineered this truck should spend the rest of their lives washing dishes in a greasy spoon! This truck has "Death Wobble", look it up on line. This truck shakes so badly that it is unsafe to drive! I contacted Chrysler group. They told me to take it to a dealer to get it fixed and they would back me up. They did not. The dealer put on a set of cheap shocks and charged me over $1500 bucks! Chrysler does not care that they have sold this dangerous truck. I hope someone does not die because of this problem. Edmonds wants an update. OK, Nothing has changed, I made a big mistake buying this truck. I have started to get vertigo because of being shaken so badly while driving this piece of junk.
