I have had very little issues with mine. After reading past reviews, maybe commercial use is too tough for them. Also, if your an employee and don't own it, you drive it like a knocklehead. I use mine for RV and Motorcycle recreational. 1. The tire sensor problem is not known by most people, but when you rotate the fronts to the rear you must decrease the new fronts pressure and increase the rears pressure or the Sensor light will stay on. The rears need more pressure because of sensor receivers for the rear and front location are different because of cargo requirements. 2. The side sliding door handle needs a redesign. If you pull handle in an angle to open instead of pulling straight out before trying sliding it back you will brake plastic lock. Drivers door hinges and headlight failures are related to vibration from the front end. The struts are cheapest Fiat could fine. Don't slam the doors like the old Chevy's and Ford vans. That will break the window operators especially if you door storage if full. Radio issues and backup camera. Just have dealership change the radio out, Its not repairable. Brakes are pain, yes! But Ram owners have know Ram pickups have always had brake wear issues. You want brakes go get a Ford Van. No issues with DEF system yet. So far so good. I would buy another one is I needed. Looks like the V6 engine is the one to stay away from.

I own several of these. Very functional vehicle but I would never buy one again. These things have a great design for use, more storage, front wheel drive, better gas mileage, but break down all the time. The worst part is I purchased the 5yr/200k warranty on all of them (9) thinking this would take care of it, however, most dealerships give very little help and sit for days before they can even get looked at. Each dealer has one guy that works on these, maybe two if it is a big dealer. Radiator hose is a 3 day wait. This is a business killer if you have to depend on the vehicle to make money. They eat headlights like crazy, Ram knows there is a problem but does nothing. 2018 big fix was to no longer have daytime running lights and put manual light switch back in. Do yourself a huge favor and get something else. Crazy misdiagnosis repairs all the time. My current problem is a 2018 with 1511 miles, yes just over a 1500 miles. ABS/ECM /service engine lights and power loss. Dealer says.................................It will be a few days before we can look at it. Never again Ram!

Bigger a/c. Speedometer needs to be dead centre in see thru steering wheel info cluster. Seats need to be slightly lower for drivers 6’ and up.
