Great Truck Just A Few Issues

By leroyminjarez written on 05-31-2015

I have the '15 Reg Cab Ram 1500 V6 Black/out Edition. My Ram was affordable. Also, I love the mileage and the overall look. It just has issues very early on. I have owned the truck since Feb '15 and have 5k miles. My first problem I had was at 400 miles after my radio just stopped working for about 2 days. After 2 days it luckily started working, well kind of. Next after around 600 miles my front bumper has blemished paint spots that look like the sun "burnt" this area. My truck is regularly kept under a car port and washed/waxed w/ quality product. Oh & my Bluetooth doesn't work anymore and Pandora capability is a joke!

Just got the truck of my dreams

By Mark written on 11-26-2015

The crew cab proves to provide plenty of room for a family of 4. I drive a lot of miles and wasn't sure I should get the hemi or the v6. The v6 proves to get great mpg at 20/25 on a full size truck and power is not a problem pushing 305 hp it does the job. Quite cab and lots of comfort. The only thing that upset me was the $800 charge they wanted to charge me for the navigation download so I use my garmen gps that I paid $100 for and get free updates for life. Come on ram give the navigation with the truck. I do love my ram truck though.

2015 Ram Rusting Chysler or Dealer will not fix.

By ramrust written on 04-24-2015

I purchased a 2015 Ram 1500 quad cab 9 weeks ago it has 1800 miles and its rusting already on the body. Dealer nor Chrysler will do anything about it. I have started a website showing the rust on mine and photos and videos of several trucks on there car lot that have rust and flaking paint problems on the rocker pinch weld. Its a shame because other than that I love the truck. I do not like the way the dealer and Chrysler have shrugged it off when its clearly a manufacturing flaw. [HTML removed]

Less happy with the truck since my last review

By Ryan written on 10-28-2015

It's a Chrysler, so reliability is poor. I trade premium pickups every two years and prior to this MoPar I had a Ford F-250 and two GMC 2500 HD's before that. First the Ecodiesel and 8 speed transmission are awesome. My actual fuel mileage is what Ram says it should be. Other than expensive oil changes and fuel filter replacements required every 15,000 miles, I have no complaints as to the drive train. The product as a whole irritates me often. With the last 3 pickups over the past 7 years I've never had an issue with recalls or repairs with the GMC's or Fords (not counting that piece of crap 6.0 Powerstroke Ford built 4 vehicles ago) but the recalls and breakdowns of this Chrysler irritate me. A sensor took 5 days to repair and resulted in the Ram being hauled from my home on a truck. Ram refused to take it to the dealer where I bought it and stuck me with a local village idiot. I drove 50 miles to avoid the local dealer and buy the truck because the local dealer is the village idiot, Ram can't haul a $54K pickup an extra 50 miles? Now, the real reason for me going to the trouble to write a review about a truck that is actually pretty nice. The navigation.... map updates are $150!!! Are you kidding me? I can buy a Garmin and stick it on the windshield with free lifetime updates for a little more than $150 and the Ram radio that is an extra $1000 for navigation costs me $150 to update? Unbelievable. Stick it to me Chrysler, see if I come back. There are other really nice pickups out there. I'll probably have one of those others next time. This is the update on the Ram. I've downgraded several items from my first review. The main thing I see that irritates me is decreasing fuel mileage. I initially got 27 highway and was pleased. I've not seen that in a while now, it has dropped overall about 3 or 4 mpg now with nearly 60,000 miles on the truck. Navigation is irritating, I refuse to update the maps when I can have Siri just take me where I want to go so I consider the navigation option a total waste of money. I replaced the OEM Goodyear Wrangler SAE tires with what I hoped would be better tires, and am running Bridgestone Duramax all season tires. They create more road noise, ride much harsher than the Goodyears and don't seem to have any better traction. I should have stayed with the Goodyears. The recalls have been a real hassle. My dealer is slow and it is irritating to have to update the software, change out the entire exhaust and etc. I knew this was a possibility as the ecoDiesel in my 2015 was a beta model, but the hassle has been a bit more than expected.

From Ford to Dodge (RAM)

By Robert Butler written on 11-16-2015

I have been Chevrolets and Fords for over 25 years. This is my first Dodge primarily due to my fathers advice that Dodge's have great power trains, but horrible everything else. Times have changed, at least with respect to the "everything else". Keep in mind, I have only had this truck for a month and only have 3,500 miles on it, however, here are my first impressions. This truck (Ram 1500 SLT Crew Cab with Big Horn package, Hemi engine, 3.93 rear diff) runs like a scalded cat. The ride is not like a Lincoln Towncar... it is a truck, I would hope not, but it is very smooth and quiet. The advertised 15mpg city / 20mpg highway is a pipe dream, but I suspect the rear differential may have something to do with that. On the positive side, I am getting about 16.5 mpg highway while driving 80mph through the Texas hill country. City driving is about 14.5 mpg so not that much worse than advertised. The turn knob shifter took some getting used to, but I appreciate the space recovered from where the shifter would traditionally be. My only complaint is that some of the A/C controls (changing from dash vents to floor vents, etc) must be done via the touch screen. Overall, I love this truck.
