*What's the MOST RELIABLE vehicle you've ever owned?*
Toyota Tundra 💪
New one? Or pre-🐌?
@@TruckCentral my 2000 tundra with the 4.7 and my 2012 tundra with the 5.7 have both been awesome trucks.
2013 Toyota highlander limited 3.5 v6 with 220k all I’ve done is change oil new battery and fuel up every week with maybe fuel injector once a month.
@@TruckCentral no I wouldn’t buy a new one. Not a fan of turbos.
My ram is the best truck I have gotten. 1997 1500 sport 5.2 motor has 324000 of hard miles hard. Sure been repairs but never left me stuck always got home. 4x4. Always towing something , boat , camping trailer, car hauler,and loaded to boot. Love my ram.
I also have a 2019 Ram Limited with 69,000 miles. I also had the exhaust manifold issue just on the passenger side so far. Happened around 63,000 miles, had extended warranty also so it cost me $0 to fix. The only other issue I had and it was a huge problem but it finally got fixed was water leaking into my cab. My drivers side carpet was wet under the floor mat and back carpet was wet on both sides. I had to take it to the dealer 6 different times to get the leaks fixed. The leaks happened the first time it rained after purchasing it new. They had to take off front drivers side fender and add more seam seal to fix front leak. They back leak was finally fixed after they replaced the back window with a new one. The only other issue I had was having both power folding side mirrors replaced due to a popping grinding noise when I used them. Mirrors were replaced under warranty. Other than that the truck has been very solid, no mechanical issues, no issues with any of the electrical or interior. At
this point I would definitely purchase another Ram. I love the interior, all the tech and the air ride.
Hey Danny, thanks for the insight. Sorry to hear about all the leaks. That sounds like a pain. Glad they got it fixed.
Other than that... ? Sounds like a huge hassle to me. Other than that, these little big things kept happening to my truck..
Wait when the air suspension soon fails, the other manifold goes, and the front end loosens apart!
Just hit 150,000 on my 19 Big Horn today. Been a great truck. Only major issue was a water pump at 120,000 and a rusted exhaust bolt at 140,00. I am also on my 3rd windshield.
Good to see other high mileage 5th gens seem to be relatively reliable! Race to a million miles?
HEMI V8?
Ram is probably the best truck you can get with what is being produced right now. Ford and GM have both had a lot of problems and early engine failures. Lots of leaks and other irritating defects. The Ram 6.4l HEMI has been damn reliable for us. My company uses them and they are worked hard and for the type of work we do it requires lots of idling and lots of heavy hauling going through Oil and Gas lease roads and they have held up really well. Yeah we had a couple die from the camshaft/lifter bug, but both after 150k miles. After the 150k mile mark we saw some things going on like water pumps wearing out etc. All were regular wear and tear issues. Had 2 trucks need new TIPM units and a couple needed fuel pumps. Got 12 new trucks coming in so we are happy with the service they give us and for the price they are less than Ford and GM. Only Gripe I have is they seem to have patents out on all their parts so your forced to go to the dealers for many parts.
No, Rams are plagued with issues. Exhaust manifold bolts breaking. Lifters eating cam shaft lobes, Hemi tick.
Ford is miles more reliable
We run a fleet and had few problems with them and we work the dog out of them in the Oil and Gas Utilities sector. We have ran 6.4l HEMI engines and lost 2 of them due to employees not getting service intervals done. Still got 170k miles out of them pulling 4k lbs. tanks full of water and lots of idle time in South Texas heat. We have not run into major problems other than that. We have seen a couple need fuel pumps early and we have had a couple water pumps die, but that is normal wear and tear. We outfit them with Truck Air Bags to help stabilize out weight loads and they go up and down rough Oil lease roads 5-6 days a week 10-14 hours a day. I have seen Chevy trucks losing engines before 100k miles and seen Fords dropping around 100-150k miles. My current work truck has 175k hard miles and it recently needed a radiator and a Tipm replaced. None are as good as they once were but I will take a 6.4l Hemi any day over a GM or Ford with Turbo chargers and I am a GM man too. My personal vehicle is a 2003 Sierra. The 6.4l is still old style no turbo garbage on them. That is just from our personal experiences with them. My new 2024 will be ready in 2-3 weeks its another 6.4l I will update this on it because I do expect issues this time coming out of the pandemic mess. The 2 in the fleet we lost due to Hemi lifter/camshaft was one out of 14. It had 160k miles on it so we got a lot of use out of it. I am not brand loyal but lean towards Toyota they just do not make a heavy duty truck we need. I am strictly going off @@bryanmiller5692
Dunno, what kind of low-grade crap y'all are smoking, but I'll put my tundra against your "amazing" ram
All these updates have been outstanding!! Thank you for putting in the time and legwork.
Im hitting 78k on my 19 Limited. Only had 2 probs so far that extended warranty covered. Starter took a shit on me around 36k... and the LED instrument display in the dash went out around 48k. Im starting to hear the manifold tick and its scheduled to go to the dealer next week. Otherwise my RAM has been amazing.
Side note: I just changed my brake pads at 72K and the shop said I still could have gone another 5k before changing. Very impressed with that as im super hard on brakes.
Hey Mike! That’s interesting the starter went out so early. First I’ve heard of that. Based on how much pad was left on my brakes, I’m guessing I’ll get to 200k miles before changing them. The replacement pads should be even longer lasting. I’ll be in the grave before those wear out. Lmao.
I, too, had the steering "clunk". The dealer replaced my intermediate steering shaft under warranty. That fixed the problem.
I have a 2013 ram Big Horn with 93,000 miles owned it from new and never had any problems just regular maintenance.
It people who don’t take care of there cars who have problems
I have a 2009 Dodge Ram that’s been my daily driver for 15 years. 250k miles and I’ve done nothing but change the oil/tires/etc. Best most reliable truck I’ve ever owned.
I'm curious as to when you changed the shocks. What did you do as far as changing the transmission/transfer/rear and front differential? When did you flush the brakes, coolant and power steering?
I'm just full of questions - haha.
I feel like I have been pretty negligent so far but I'd like to get 250k out of it without doing excessive maintenance that the dealer encourages. I have an 07 with a 119k and haven't done anything yet except oil (every 5k approx) ,air filter, battery (only once believe it or not), tires, and one little part on the transmission that made it so it didn't shift right.
All good questions! I’ve never done any of those things.
Edit: not saying don't do those things! I just personally have never done that. The only thing I did was change the brake pads a few years ago due to squeaky noise. This year I'm retiring the ol' girl and just gonna use her for farm activities. Definitely getting a new Ram when I'm ready.
Great content! I have a 2021 Ram limited so am always interested in what other owners are experiencing. The windshield thing is definitely an issue. I am already on my third windshield due to rock impacts and they are very expensive to replace. I went through insurance in my case which is the first two claims I have ever made on my insurance policy in 20 plus years LOL.
Wow, third windshield? There is definitely an issue with the glass. I want to replace mine bad but I know it’ll just crack/chip immediately.
Dodge should pay for them! It's been three times and I would file for arbitration/lemon law. Wait when your manifolds go and the front end starts to fall apart! Will be before 100k miles!
I have a family member that got his windshield on his F150 crack and a month later the new one cracked again. I think it might be because of how big the windshield is on these pickups.
@@anthonyvu749 Our oldest daughter had the same thing happen with her new hybrid Camery. My guess is they went with lighter glass on these newer vehicles. After they replaced her windshield, then they had to replace the camera, then calibrate the thing. Three different service calls!
I’m was on windshield number 6. I couldn’t take it anymore. I checked the 2024s and they have the same stupid crappy windshield. So, I sold it and I let pick something out this time. No more Rams for me.
9 years ago I bought my Toyota Tacoma V6 4lt. It has the towing package with auto trans. I have a 3,200 lb boat and a 5,400 lb camper. Just turned 100,000 miles. I perform normal maintenance, 5K oil changes , air and oil filter changes, flushed trans fluid, changed coolant etc. Didn’t buy an extended warranty, actually I’ve never used any warranty. Great truck
Nice...i take it you're interested in the Ram? Hence watching a Ram owner experience video
Far better truck than ram
What a beautiful story you tell it so well. Nobody cares about those little Tacomas. Most of us are here because we do work and need a half ton or three-quarter ton truck. Tacoma is something good for like pool cleaner or a handyman. If you put that little six out there the way, most of us run our big trucks that thing will fail way faster. Plus 100,000 miles is nothing. I’m running my Chevy trucks 200+ thousand I usually only buy used trucks because of the sticker price and how much work I can get out of them. My company on average puts around 40,000 miles a year. And that’s just local stuff working around the city that’s not any kind of long hauling. These are just Service trucks for us. I was looking into a ram because I wanted to try something different and I like the interior on them.
@@stefanovichmichael9686 "tacoma good condition. head gasket done, rear differential done , recent all-season tires looking for new owner"
Thanks for a good review. Two of the things you mention, air suspension and air vented seats, are things you can avoid by choosing a lower trim level. The fuel pump sounds to me like wear and tear related to hard use, but I could be wrong.
My RAM is a 2019 1500 Big Horn. 62K miles, zero problems. Nothing. I had a 2016 Big Horn that I traded in at 70K miles, also with zero problems. I'm going to keep this one and put a lot of miles on it, so we'll see if I run into any of your problems. But so far so good.
That’s definitely a fair assessment. There’s always a pay to play factor when you pick higher end options. And it’s difficult to pinpoint the cause of the fuel pump issue. Hope yours is relatively trouble free 🍻
for every yin there's a yang. You have 150k and I only got 20k on my 2019 CC Laramie 4x4. I custom ordered it new and living here in Michigan, I oil spray the undercarriage every Fall with Krown 1yr and NH Oil the next. Krown is thinner and creeps better but wears off faster so that's why every other yr I get it sprayed with NH Oil which is thicker oil. She sits in the barn most of the time looking pretty as this is not my daily driver but even at 20k the left exhaust manifold just started popping this past winter. I took it to dealer in March and was told parts are on NATIONAL BACKORDER and they have no idea when a replacement manifold will be in. It is now May 4th and still nothing. I also had a wind leak since new from the driver side door only in crosswinds tho. They replaced the door seal and that seemed to take care of the problem. I also had a CEL light on around 14k and they had to replace the charcoal canister evap system for the fuel tank. At that time they also had to replace passenger front seat belt because it would not retract back into the b pillar. I also have been plagued with a cricket like noise the dealer can't seem to fix coming from the left front brake at creeping speeds when tapping on the brake. They have lubricated the slides and adjusted the pads but its still there and now am being told this is normal. Royal Purple HPS 5w30 and been used exclusively since the break in oil was taken out at 1500 miles. Some will cry that you should only use 5w20 cause that's what the owners manual says well the owner's manual also says this truck with the 5.7 Hemi needs to use gasoline with the octane rating is 89 and how many people reading this only use 87. People are quick to point the finger when it suits them and look the other way when it doesn't. I'm old school and 5-20 is too thin for my tastes especially if you own your own truck and want it lasting 20yrs 200k plus. Only reason car manufacturers are using it is because of political bs with EPA MPG requirements to squeeze 1 to 2% better fuel economy but wearing out your engine quicker. Not once have I had an issue with the MDS running 5w30. Out of the the 1/2 ton trucks built today I still think Ram is on top, followed by Ford F150 with the V8 only, then Nissan, GM then Tundra last. Not a fan of DI engines and turbos or water pumps driven by timing chains.
I've shared the below comment before with this channel and series. I'm posting it again for those who are having issues with the A/C. The TSB number is included as well.
I have a 5th Gen and the A/C was terrible. Found out about the TSB #24-001-20 and took it in for service because it was still under warranty. It took the dealer nearly a month to fix it because Mopar sent them the parts that still had the defect in them, so they were never removed from inventory. Then they got the right parts in but still had trouble figuring it all out. Eventually they got everything working. That dealer's service department, however, was incompetent at best. The test I used to prove it to the dealer that the TSB needed to be done was using an A/C temp probe and recording the differences in temp between the two center console vents. The driver's side was pushing out air that was 8 to 10 degrees (F) warmer than the passenger side. If I remember correctly it has something to do with the blend door controller and a module basically not mixing the air correctly and not properly sending the right volume of air to the vents based on the user setting, ie all of the air out of the dash vents or dash vents with floor vents. The TSB also replaces some other parts in the heater core as well. Unfortunately, by the time I got it back we really only had one more hot enough day here where I could fully test the A/C in direct sunlight. It was noticeably better. Prior to the A/C TSB the driver's side was blowing out around 52F and the passenger side was about 44F. After the A/C TSB was complete both sides were down to around 42F and the temp was still going down a bit. The truck also seemed to cool down a bit faster as well.
Thanks for this!! I was looking for your previous comment recently and couldn’t find it - extremely good info. Video on this topic will be happening soon (waiting for some hot weather)
You're content was priceless!! I plan on buying a 2023 limited next and you sold me on the extended warranty!
A bug and stone deflector up front on the hood helps slow down debris from hitting the windshield hard. They worked in my experience.
I’ve actually got one. To be fair, I’ve gotten less chips since I installed it. But it hasn’t prevented them completely. Thanks for watching!
V R My son and his wife have one on their AWD Outlander, because of it they can't do drive through car washes.
@@kevinmontgomery1383good.. drive thru car washes are for sheep who want their car paint scratched by automatic cloth paint destroyers. Wash your car with a touchless car wash or a hand wash spray down. Paint will still look beautiful 15 years later trust me
Hola Amigo! I love your videos I watch them all, I have the same truck 2019 Ram limited I feel very comfortable knowing you have over 150,000 miles with only little issues. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing all the great information. Fernando Herrera
Thanks for the kind words Fernando! I’ll keep you updated.
Exhaust manifold isn't a little issue though, I'm nervous now about the 2022 power wagon I just ordered fully loaded
Awesome video - I hope Ram is taking notes - you are doing them a huge favor.
I think ima pull the trigger on an 19 limited I saw reviews and ppl saying it’s horrible but I saw this and this changed my perspective thanks
That’s what I’m talking about! They are awesome trucks. Good luck!
How's that going for you? I just picked one up with 50,000 on it.
Well sir, A very good review. Well done. Now knock on wood…. My 2019 Longhorn hasn’t had any of these issues yet, But I only have 50,000 Kilometres. 👍
Since your Ram has alot of beautiful wood in it there won't be any major issues for you Ram Rider👌👍😁
@@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS 😂😂👍
Wood for days. Knock on all of it! Thanks buddy!
My 2019 was built close to the end of the model in June 2019. I haven’t had any of your issues. Some of those issues were only on early 2019s. I had a noisy seat fan and loose windshield wiper so far with 36k.
I installed a half-inch rigid sheet of reflective Styrofoam insulation between the glass and the sunshade. I was inspired by your TH-cam Video. I also have the same problem cooling my 2019 Ram interior during the summer in Phoenix. Thank you.
Hey Alan. I’m curious how it’s working out. Thanks for the kind words!
Mr. Wheeler, go to see you again my friend. Good video. As of right now, my 2020 Longhorn has had no issues, knock on wood ! But I’ve heard and have some people I know with issues that you mentioned. I’m hoping I’m one of the lucky ones that has no issues. Only time will tell, but I have a long way to go. Just turned over 16,000 miles last week. Hope you had a great weekend and stay safe out there.
Thanks Jim. Even with the issues I’ve had, I still pretty fortunate. I don’t expect any vehicle to be perfect. Good luck with yours and thanks again for watching.
2020 Ram 1500 Limited w/15K miles and have had three items warrantied. The driver's side Rambox popped open by itself randomly, a clicking steering wheel when turning and the rear window leak. There were no visible cracks or signs of stress in the plastic surrounding the window but they did find "hidden cracks" when they pulled it (Dealer replaced it outside the 12/12K rear window warranty btw). The steering wheel still clicks even after they replaced a broken clock spring, but not as loud or often, so will have to get that looked at again. The Rambox issue was a solid fix as it has never happened again since. Still my favorite truck of all the brands I've owned.
Interesting that they found hidden cracks - I bet that’s true of most plastic trim pieces. Thanks for sharing, I’d say your experience is very typical of most lower-mileage Ram owners 👍
My thing is these things are approaching house prices yet they are taking decades back in terms of longevity.
My 2020 has 40k miles. So far, I've had the rear window and 3rd brake light replaced for water leaks. Also had the glove box door replaced because the light wouldn't shut off inside it, and the seat belt because it would squeak when it moved. I started hearing one of the manifolds ticking away a month ago, so ill need that fixed too. Other than that I love it. I know it sounds like a lot, but my 2012 Toyota Tundra was by far worse at way less miles. So, I'll keep this one for a while and see what happens.
Has the dealer been helpful about taking care of that stuff? IMO the way that the dealer handles these problems goes a long way.
@@MrJustinWheeler The dealer I go to is an hour away. I'm not a fan of the Milwaukee area dealers. My dealer has been great, but Stellantis is fighting me on replacing the headliner. It's stained all the way across, and up about a foot from the window. They want to clean it, but to me that's like painting over rust. Plus, who's knows if mold is growing on the back side of it. The leak took 7 months to fix.
@@jasonfalk7696 make them replace it, i had the rear window/light leak too... they gave me the truck back claiming it was fixed.... cover in mold, all in the seatbelts and under the center console pull down... anyway, they had to replace the entire interior. Also had an issue with the fuel tank, where it wouldnt let the gaz nozzle seat in the tank to fill up, they replaced the whole gas tank. been one costly truck for Ram but theyve done me right, even if it took some time.
What are some of the signs you had that ended up being your 3rd brake light and rear window were leaking? I haven't personally experienced a leaking vehicle but I've got a 2020 also & it seems people mention leaks a lot
@@UNSC011001 The headliner starts dripping water. From the window, to about 10 inches up, is stained now. I think mine was just the brake light. But the dealer put a window in it too, because I was at 35k miles.
My 2020 Chevy Silverado already had a rear end changed along with lifter problems an now scheduled to get my oil pressure looked at, this truck has been nothing but problems good thing it's still under warranty
Bought me a new ram 1500 bighorn night edition 2023. I have 32k miles on it no issues so far. First time RAM owner, came from a Silverado 1500. Always wanted a RAM. Hopefully RAM makes me proud 😂
One of my problems with dodge dealership service department was getting them to fix an issue. I literally have to figure out the issue myself and point it out to them to finally do something about it because they like to make excuses that they can't find an issue and forces you to keep coming back and forth for them to finally address it. If you are out of warranty, they'll make sure they do the work and charge you outrageous amount of money and then they suddenly start finding out issues that they claim need to get done ASAP.
Had the exhaust manifolds leaking. I replaced them with a BD Diesel aftermarket manifold- much better quality. The fastener surfaces are much flatter, the manifold is also much heavier.
I owned a Laramie 2016 and got it to 110k km no issues at all except for windshield chip and that’s all it. I sold it then and now owns 2023 limited fully loaded loving it !!!!!
i daily drive a 1988 Lincoln Town Car, the car still looks like new, has 265,000 miles on it, original engine and transmission, has needed two new upper ball joints a fuel sending unit and many oil changes, along with a set of spark plugs and 4 transmission fluid flushes, it still is daily driven after 37 years on the road, and its also not rusty, as i do proper maintenance, unlike most people. ive owned dodges in the past and they always broke down at random. you must be lucky
2019 limited ram 70,000km . Entire steering rack replaced due to sticking on left turn. Body harness damage disabled back up camera, entire interior removed to replace cable. Rear window leak frame replacement. Centre exhaust section had missing bolts from factory. Quiet speakers fixed by tsb. Passenger side wind noise leak. Alternator replaced due to loud startup whine. Many tailgate repairs. Air suspension has been surprisingly reliable in cold Canada winters -30c
Some say unreliable I call it character :D
Bet you thought the air suspension would’ve been the truck’s least-reliable part!
2015 112K miles Hemi tick just started. Replaced cabin vents due to massive leaking. Backup camera harness replaced.
I also have a 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn with the Off Road Package. I tow a lot and it does well.
I had a bolt break on a connection in the exhaust system a couple of months ago. I now have a cracked right side exhaust manifold. I have about 65k miles. They have told me the manifold is back ordered and they have no idea when it will come in. I do have the lifetime warranty so other than my deductible, it will be covered.
I think everyone I know who owns a 5.7 Hemi has had the exhaust manifolds cracked. It is really hard for me to understand how a manufacturer can simply refuse to correct a known defective part and keep producing a defective part. I am actually quite surprised there hasn't been some sort of law suit.
With that said, I know every brand has it's issues, but I wonder if I will purchase another Ram after this one. The manifold issue (no part available when they continue to build thousands of Hemi equipped trucks), and the refusal to correct a known problem has me mad enough where I may look elsewhere when it is time for a new truck.
Thanks for the channel and the updates on your ownership experience.
Captainm715 They rather spend money on a crack legal team, then have happy repeat customers.
My 2019 Dodge Ram SL Classic Quad 4x4 has 30k Miles And No Issue So Far,At age 58 I'm hoping it's my last truck I'll buy lol
I have a 2013 Ram, 211k miles. I had to have the lifters and cam/crank? shaft replaced at about 130k miles. My truck went from 15.5-17mpg, went down to 12.5mpg before the check engine light finally came on, I complained to dealer a few times prior. Truck has ran very well since, but for the last 8ish months my MPG has decreased again, but not as bad 14.5-15.5mpg. I overall love my truck, and its paid for but I would like to get something newer.
Same here 13 ram 188k
I have a 2019 1500 new 5th gen, and i had a check valve in the fuel tank fail at 28k. They had to replace the entire tank because the check valve is built into the tank. Took quite awhile to get a new tank (supply chain issues); I’ve also replaced both exhaust manifolds already and I’m at 32k. I live in NM so we don’t get remarkably cold. I have a squeek on the driver side over small bumps and found it to be my break caliper clip. I don’t understand why they aren’t putting different manifolds on these trucks. Thanks for the video I’ll always tune in.
Total JUNK! Lucky for you this was before shit 36k mile warranty expires but what about when those parts fail AGAIN in another 30k miles? Not to mention everything else! Try to get RID of it!
I just bought the 2019 (laramie). It has only 45K on it... I'm 52 and owned many cars, mostly Japanese.. This is my first American behicle and first truck. SO far, I love it. All cars need quite a bit of repairs by 150K! My worst car was a VW (early 90s). From day one, the sun roof leaked.. electrical gremlins galore.. and those were simple cars..
2020 Big Horn with the Hemi at 100k. Not a single issue yet. There was a recall on the tailgate latch which I had done but there wasn’t a problem with mine. I change the oil every 5000 and do the scheduled maintenance as required.
Bought a 2020 5.7 Laramie 47k miles.
Had to replace both exhaust manifolds. Also had to fix an exhaust leak between the muffler and exhaust pipe because of broken bolts. Have had it for less than a year. Both problems were under factory warranty but now it’s about to expire, hopefully there’s not a next time. Other than that it’s been great to me
Bought my 2021 limited longhorn with 13,000 miles on it for 61k fully loaded. They sold me the extended warranty to 113,000 miles bumper to bumper.
I’d say that’s a fair deal for sure. How many miles do you have on it now?
The cab vents in my 2014 ram have leaked since day one. I have 109k miles now and the biggest issue has been exhaust manifolds and replacing coil packs. Just got a p0440 code and replaced the gas cap. Knock on wood...
I have a '21 tundra with the same recall. My friend had a ford f250 '03 with the same issue. All made in the same place.
Its funny you brought up the windshield. I was recently looking at a 2019 ram with 68k miles and in the carfax it shows its had its windshield changed 3 times! 😂 I was wtf was this guy doing with this truck, but now i know its just fragile. Thanks for the video dude.
I don't have the sunroof option on mine, but there is a drain that usually runs down either your driver or passenger door, from the sunroof. CLEAN IT!!! It gets full of dirt and debris causing water to pool...🤯 mind blown, right?!
As I was driving down the road one day, I got a message on the dash saying service traction control, something or other, then disappeared. Winter came around and I had no 4x4. I forgot what part it was, as it was at about 30k miles a couple years ago. Warranted of course, but wouldve been about $800 out of pocket.
Thanks for sunroof cleaning suggestion. Just bought 23 Rebel GT this summer. I heard about the weak w/s but the sunroof problem was new to hear. Will be look for drain tomorrow. Pretty sure it’s clean but good to know I need to check on it on a regular basis.
No prob! I'm happy to see you're doing your due diligence and learning! Canned air or an air compressor will help clear the line. Use a cup to pour some water through it to make sure it's clear(after it has been cleaned, otherwise you're making mud). It's usually on one of the corners leading down the A pillar.
Nice choice! You're gonna love it! I'm in line for a REV, and I'm sure its windshield will be just as shitty as my Longhorns.
@@carlosg3515 great I park it right next to air compressor. This will make it easy. Thanks for the detailed description on how to clean it.
Yea really happy with it, for as little as I been able to get some time to drive it. My first pickup and kind of spoiled myself. But been driving a 2009 sedan for quite sometime. Was due for a change. Kept car as work/ errands runner. The Rebel is my get out and have some fun-mobile. Still ticked about the weak w/s but probably won’t be the only thing with all the bells and whistles and electronics. gl on the Rev, not ready for ev yet. Remote camping is a past time so not for me. When the triple the range then I will think about it.
@missbhaavin I should get me a little throw away vehicle... These trucks do love some gas! The REV has a 500-mile option. I'm in the PNW, and that's about a gas tank worth of driving with the upgraded 33-gallon tank. A tank hasn't failed me thus far, so im not too worried. The other thing is this truck is so damn long I can't get too far into woods!
Glad to hear you're enjoying your truck! Feel free to ask away!
@@carlosg3515 I have 33 gal tank option and it would have mine beat by a long shot. Well at least the way I have been driving. ;) Of course same rules apply for evs. I have to look up Rev now, interested to see specs on weight, length, on this Rev.
I have a 2019 Laramie 1500 4x4 5.7 and I always hear a single pop sound when I start the vehicle and the dealer says that it is normal, even after they checked the motor mounts and manifolds. When I release the parking brake, it seems to go away at times (intermittent), which is really strange. The other thing that is very strange about the vehicle is that the steering wheel is just slightly off to the right, even though the alignment is perfect with how it drives and the tires seems fine with the wear. Not to mention that Hemi tick during cold startups, but sounds better after it is warm and dealer says there are no leaks or broken manifold bolts, that they are torqued to spec!
I'm seriously thinking about getting quality after market shorty headers (stainless steel) and a 6.2 liter oil pump to increase oil pressure through the journals. I've always heard that the 6.2 liter oil pump will bolt up directly with no issues and will increase the pressure to the lifters/upper cam lobes to solve the premature wear that can happen.
What are your thoughts on these issues???... Thanks!
Let me know how that goes with the oil setup...i too have a 21 Laramie
Thanks for posting, I am looking at getting a 21-23 used and going to look more closely at OEM and supplemental warranties.
Good video with actual information. I am looking at buying a used 2020-2021 RAM 1500. Now I know what to look for.
Mine, developed the infamous HEMI Tick.
I had the engine reprogrammed, lifters and cam replaced with Hell Cat parts. A major out of pocket expense.
Usually, at least where I’m at, full coverage insurance will replace one windshield per year for free. I’ve done it a couple times.
I have a 2019 Ram Rebel, with 57000 miles, and grateful to say I haven't had any issues. ( Knocking on wood).....
Good to hear, Mark! Thanks for watching!
Have a 2019 ram rebel 64,000 on it now everything’s great except that you connect after six months I had to wait over a year for a new Uconnect system that was faulty
2020 Ram 1500 5.7 hemi with 190k. Not one part replaced. No issues but I drive the speed limit.
Great review buddy. Appreciate you sharing your experience.
Currently sitting at 96,XXX only issues I’ve had was windshield wiper fluid pump burnt up. And my Air dam was throwing a code turns out it was a fuse.
I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie. SO MANY ISSUES! Most of the issues I've had have been with the 12" head unit. But everything else you mentioned have been problems too. Exhaust manifolds, back window leaking, sunroof leaking, power mirrors broken...
I just got rear ended with it and I am so thankful they totaled it out! (bent frame). Because of this issue I will NEVER buy a 1/2 ton ram again, and probably never a heavy duty ram.
My new super duty is set to be built tomorrow
I switched to ram because of all the problems ford was giving me. Good luck. The problems you had were minor compared to engine replacement at low miles like the ford I had lol.
Good luck. I had to have my motor changed twice and the transmission replaced on my Ford. I got rid of it at 89,000 miles.
I understand the frustration for sure. This is my 5th high mileage Ram, and I haven’t had any issues that forced me to jump ship. I hope the super duty brings you some better luck. Those trucks are very nice. Thanks for watching!
@@fireant1272 I’ve had nothing but good luck with my other fords, but I’m for sure getting an extended bumper to bumper.
@@MrJustinWheeler I think I just got a dud from day 1. I should have lemon law’d it. The only thing that saved me was the 125k extended bumper to bumper, which I’ll do on the new truck as well.
Thanks Justin. Great info for a soon-to-be owner.
Great review 💪🏻👍🏻
My 19 v6 back brake light had a leaking so got a aftermarket light fixed that problem at 2100 miles and driver side mirror fell out at 13ooo miles got new mirrow . And replace plugs at 17500 plugs were not set right from factory and did two new coils packs . So far good at 91000 miles so far did oil change at 4000 miles amsoil after 60,000 miles . Dont tow much light fishing boat 3 times 4+4 used 5 times not much snow since 2019 when i got her new paid off and will run her hopefully over 250k. Good power but factory fit and finish not good water got in to headliner from pos break light and spark plugs not gap right from factory. Other then that so far good . Thanks for your review
I'm getting a 2020 Big Horn Hemi with 109k on it, used from Carvana. One owner. Seems like the owner was on the road A LOT. Highways for work I guess? I've had it with my 2018 F150 STX. The cam phasers we're just replaced for $3k. The aluminum body is my biggest complaint. Then, the paint is peeling off on the roof and tail gate.
Great update Justin (Negative Nancy haha), all-in-all considering your high mileage in a short time frame not too bad! For many 1500 owners I think the "leaking issues" are a real sore point, nobody wants water inside their nice Ram interior!
I'm interested in the Limited trim and love the Sea Salt/Indigo trim of the 10th Am=anniversary package. But now with the new more powerful and efficient in-line Turbo 6 Hurricane engine announcements I'm debating whether to hold out and see if they make it in the 2023 1500 line-up.
I love the V8, it's plenty strong having tested it but man any saving on gas prices and better emissions I feel is the smarter choice for me. I won't be towing either.
Just curious what windshield phone mount do you have? It looks rock solid, no vibration! Thx, keep 'em coming!
Hey Alley! Agreed on the hurricane being a good option. I love the Hemi but like the innovative approach. Fingers crossed w will see it in 2023. That windshield mount is actually my Trinity Diablo Sport tuner. It is pretty solid though (:
@@MrJustinWheeler Thanks Justin for passing that info along! Looking forward to the next video!
I'm in the market for my first Full Size. I rented a Ram 1500 once and iit was NIIIICE. But I'm torn between that, the Silverado, and a Denali
Great Review Justin on your truck with the ups and downs 👏 👍 👌 heard of nightmares with Ford and GM very early with motors and transmissions getting replaced 🤣 so I'd say your doing very good in your Ram 🐏 👍 👌
Thank you sir! I appreciate the comment!
For the prices of all new trucks they should have 200k warranties on all of them. People need to revolt.
2018 Ram Big Horn at 50,000 no issue and love my truck!
2021 Ram eTorque. No mechanical issues yet. 40,xxx miles so far.
Back window leak seems to be a huge problem with these. Great truck though
Why does it seem nearly impossible to buy a truck that isn’t full of problems
I own a 2020 Ram Big Horn 1500 Hemi with a updated package spay in bed liner and it’s a 5 passenger. 37k miles so far no issues but it’s a stock mall crawler no boat or trailer towing. I have been looking around to purchase a car since I really don’t use my truck as a truck just to save on gas but every where I turn there are issues with every vehicle out there. On that note I will just keep my truck, plus my girl is totally against getting rid of it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Last thing I drive for big a rent a car company ( no name mention), so I drive all types a new vehicles from Jeep to Tacos, Hyundai,Toyota, Kia, BMW, Jaguar, Chevy and Ford pick up trucks included and nothing really impresses me, and once I get in my truck it feels like a good worn pair of jeans. Out of all those vehicles I have rented a few the ones I thought I wanted to buy.
I just had a backup camera issue at 5k on my 2022.. the screen would just come up blue with when put in reverse. My dealer had it fixed in an hour. A little concerning to have any problem at 5k but all said and done really wasn’t a big deal.
There’s a lot of complicated parts on these things and they’re made by humans so we can’t expect perfection 😊
190k on my tundra and 40k on my land crusier. zero issues. Never took it into the dealer ever. lol. Hope your truck lasts! cheers.
Lasting so far 😂 Curious what year your Tundra and LC are.
My 19 ram already had to have lifter and cam replaced at 55k. Dealership has had the truck for over 3 weeks.
Wow. Did they say what the cause was?
@@MrJustinWheeler Not yet, but I can tell you I was using full synthetic oil with 5k oil change intervals. 1 theory is the lifters don’t get enough oil at idle. I was hoping it was the manifold bolts when I hear the ticking but they told me they were replacing the cam and lifter.
Do you let your truck idle for long periods of time? I was told to use the oil pump of a hellcat to rectify this issue.
@@RayWoods I heard the hellcat pump may work also. My truck is at 56k and has about 380 idle hours, so I would say that shouldn’t be anywhere near the point where it damages my cam.
I am in the Market for a used truck. I found a 2019 Chevy Z71 6 cylinder. 4 door. Haven't been approved for it yet. I also was interested in a 2019 4 crew cab Dodge Ram 1500. No longer interested in that 1. I have to work everyday. I don't want or need any delays with My Work Truck. Thank you.
Good lord, you definitely don’t want a 2016+ Chevy then. Go look at all the lawsuits pending about known issues. Chevy just upped their “acceptable tolerance” of oil consumption to 1.5Q per 1,000 miles… yes, per 1k miles.
So far my 2020 limited longhorn has 76k and only issues I’ve had is my battery went out at 50k replaced it and the front end sway bar links, other than that it’s flawless. Knock on wood
Happy to hear that Joel. Thanks for watching!
Title: 2019 Ram 1500 problems..
".
Well my jeep has a 1501 problems.
😜
Lol sorry to hear that buddy! Thanks for watching.
What’s crazy to me is that how people consider “150,000 miles” high mileage. Honestly to me it seems like the vehicle is just getting broken inn
On a 2019? 😂
Agreed this isn’t a high mileage vehicle compared to the other vehicles on the road. But it is high mileage for a 2019 Ram 1500 Limited. If I’m not the first one to 150k, there aren’t many ahead of me.
@@MrJustinWheeler after my first year of ownership of my Ram Rebel 5.7 I hit 36k
@@MadJawa889 you wouldn’t even be at the 150k mark after 3 years though
You obviously are of a younger generation. Twenty five years ago most cars were in a junk yard by 150,000 miles.
2012 Ram Laramie. Most trouble free truck I've ever owned.
I wish I would’ve known about the air suspension before I bought my 2018 in South Dakota!
What is the most reliable 1500 after 2021
we have only one dealer in Hawaii and they are very hard to get along with,. My new battery discharged and I can't find video to help, code readers won't tell code, engine and battery light on.
Mine 2020 Tradesman v6 200,000 miles need to replace Rear bearing and replace trans fluid. Coolant leaking
Looking to replace my 2018 5.3 Z71. 4cyl shutdown (MDS) oiling issues, torque converter/transmission failures, oil consumption and other reasons will have me looking elsewhere. Nice to hear this about your truck. Yeah, manifolds cracking sucks, but compared to engine rebuilds, transmission replacements, not too bad at all!!! P.S. wonder if your neighbors sit around wondering why the guy next door is driving around the yard again?!? LOL
My 2015 Silverado LTZ transmission was horrible. I took it to a local transmission shop, they rebuilt it with upgraded torque convertor and reprogrammed the computer to stop the cylinder deactivation. Truck runs much better now!!! I did this work at about 160,000 miles have 167m now. I was ready to sell it until I had this done.
Have you experienced any hemi tick issues? Specifically the lifter tick not to be confused with the common exhaust tick you discussed. This seems to affect some folks especially with high idle hours. If not what oil are you using and what are your change intervals on the oil? Thanks
I really love these trucks , my parents have one i drove it for two weeks but im just worried about the issues and longevity . With warranty .. not so serious but after that would worry me. DO you reccomend buying ?
Only Ram salesmen recommend Rams .
I thought it was just my luck hitting rocks on the highway but I’m on my third windshield too. And it’s 2 years old.
Of 3 Dodge trucks I've had at around 100k floats in tank go out and replaced fuel pump at same time!
Did you ever change the transmission or rear def fluids? If so at what mileage?
Do you guys have trouble pumping gas?
I had an a/c system problem also where is sounds a lot like your issue. I took it to an independent mechanic and he found it had a short in the system and it started blowing super cold air again
I have a 2014 Ford F150 Lariat and have loved it; 175,000 miles with relatively minor repairs and issues that are apparently pretty common: ecoboost exhaust issue that happens about every 75,000 miles; speaker wires in doors, backup camera. The windshield thing made me think about my truck; I"m on my seventh windshield and it has a couple of chips in it. I've been able to replace with items that meet OEM specifications (sound shield, tinting at top, etc.) for about $250-300 regularly. Sorry yours are $1000. Was thinking about a 2019 Longhorn as a replacement, but now I'm nervous about the leaking sunroof and other issues you described.
2019 Lone Star Hemi, brakes, tires, wipers, starter and a evap part, 171,000
if you in the market to buy a truck again from the BIG 3 ram, ford , gm which would you buy again?
Hey Thomas. At this point, I’d buy the Ram again. And I’m a fan of both Chevy and Ford. There are things I like about all 3, but Ram is still my personal favorite.
Ram first, Ford last.
@@fireant1272 these days, Ram first, GM last. I’m sure they’ll get better again one day but now what has happened to thge and reliability. They rate the lowest new truck
do you think that many small things or for example the windshield quality is improved on the 2022 model year?
Hello Jan. Yes, I have reason to believe that the glass will see an improvement in the 2023 model year.
I bought an identical limited to yours a month ago. It is used with 40,000 miles. I love it but.... it sounds like a tractor at cold start. I have since learned that its called the Hemi tick. I don't know what to do.
I wouldn’t worry too much just yet. If it sounds that bad, it’s probably just the very common exhaust manifold crack and not a faulty lifter or roller rocker. We’ve got a video where I show what mine sounded like before I replaced the manifolds. Let me see if I can find that link for you.

Has anyone had issues with the passenger side power seat? The back goes up and down and lumbar works, but the forward and backwards barely moves! I only noticed this after I brought it home - it's a pre-owned with 45K.
For the steering nut issue that was resolved what exactly did they replace? I'm having same issues with my 2019 and dealer is saying same thing about not being able to replicate the issue.
How much is the extended warranty
I'm in the market to go from my bulletproof sedans Lexus and Honda thats given me no operating issues what so ever to my first truck as a daily driver with no intentions of off roading or towing really. Would you say these issues are inevitable or just common if you actually use a truck for truck things. I'm a big guy btw and choosing a truck over a suv.
Most wear and tear is caused by “truck stuff”. If you’d get value out of a truck as a larger daily driver, I’d say you should go for it. It’s definitely good at “luxury vehicle” stuff as well.
@@TruckCentral thanks for the reply. Yea my commute to work is 25 miles round trip so it makes sense for me to get something I can actually use for basic hauling. Just have to stomach getting use to 10-15mpg hopefully because I'm getting a laramie or limited. Great channel very informative.
@@B1G_BLaK 19 Ram limited and I get around 17-18 mixed traffic
What kind of light bar is that on top of the roof? Just bought my 2019 ram 1500 would love one of those
Wish it was a light bar! That’s just the sunroof
Most full coverage insurance you can replace your windshield for cheap with act of God coverage just like hitting a deer. Usually deductible is pretty cheap.
I'm planning on buying 2023 Ram Rebel with the new e-torque is it reliable?
Thanks so much for this vid.
Thanks for watching 👍
