I was always a Ford guy for years. Started with a brand new 1986 F150, then a 95, a 99 SD, a 12 SD, and a 14 F150 with ecoboost. I've owned a 16 GMC Sierra Denali 1500, and a 2006 Silverado 2500hd. In 2020 I bought the Ram 1500 4x4 crew. I found my truck!
I can say the same as you. Had the Fords. More GMs. Now 2019. Found my truck also. Seen great success with others on there Rams. Average 2015 and up. 👍👍
I've owned 4 GMCs and in need of a tow vehicle for my RV. I don't need a 3/4 ton truck. I think I also have found my truck. the 2021 Ram is looking very nice, I have been loyal to GMC but the new ones are just so Plain Jane.
My 2006 has no issues with 230,000 miles just the hub berrings and no rust in Ohio and my 2017 with 55,000 miles no problems at all with no rust also in Ohio
Idk...my 2016 manifold bolts sheard off at 45k miles and this is a common problem that shoulda been a recall...if I would known this Ida bought another f150..

I can't believe that you would buy a Ford over a Ram over one issue- okay..#karen?
I used to be a chevy guy, i guess I'm a dodge guy now. Lol. Bought the mrs. A 2016 charger r/t then a 2018 challenger r/t and now she has a 2020 ram 1500 laramie. She loves them all. Never had any problems with any of them. Chrysler has come along way from their stuff in the 80's.
hey bro,Are you Dodge RAM 2019-2021 USA owner? Do you want to try this organizer out for FREE? only need you get me an Amazon review down. PM me and will let you know. thx
Why did you change from Chevy to Dodge if you don’t mind me asking? It’s becauseb in want to purchase a truck but deciding between Chevy Silverado custom trail boss or the ram 1500 big horn
I’ve had a 2013 RAM Sport and a 2018 RAM Rebel, which has been traded on a 2021 RAM Rebel still waiting on delivery. My ‘13 had the “Hemi tick” at startup, which was a warranty fix replacing the exhaust manifold bolts and I had both front fenders repainted due to corrosion caused from road salt getting behind the stiffener panels, covered under warranty. Just had hood corrosion on the aluminum hood of my ‘18 also covered under warranty. Aside from that, great trucks no mechanical issues to speak of and can’t wait for the ‘21 to arrive!
@HM9999 Yep, mine had the "Hemi tick" due to the broken exhaust manifolds too. Ram/FCA/whoever got a bad batch of bolts, I guess, but they fixed it. I was a GM/Chevy dude b4 my Ram and the RAM team fixed it. No one is flawless. Even Rolls Royce has issues. I do think though that most GM dealerships do STINK:; I have had 5 year or greater
@@leedanielson7452 lol jeez! Rich guy over here. Haha I just bought my 1st pickup ever. 2021 rebel. I friggin love it my guy! Wish you all the best and more rams in the future my guy 👊
I was always a Chevy guy but decided to get a 2017 Ram 1500 and I absolutely love it, it runs great feels great and looks friggin awesome I will never go back
I have a 2020 Big Horn North Edition with the off road package. 5.7 Hemi. I really love it. Very happy with my purchase. 8.4 inch screen is plenty large enough for me. I’m working from home because of Covid so I haven’t driven much lately so my mileage is still low. It was great through its first Canadian winter.
I got into a huge head on accident in July of 2022 & totaled my 2014 RAM. My wife, daughter & myself all walked away with no injuries, my wife had a small bruise on her leg form the seat belt and I had a scratch on my face from broken glass. I purchased a 2020 RAM & love every bit of it, starting with safety.
My neighbor and I both got a 2021 Ram 1500 and I’m 26 and it’s my first truck and he’s a lot older than me by a generation, we got it a month apart and he modify his truck like no other and started having issues, every morning he will throttle it leaving the neighborhood due to the new exhaust system, his truck will tinker mostly likely due to cheap octane once he gets back, he abused it to the point that he just got a Toyota LOL. And I’ve have my truck since October 2020 and have no issues so far. Oil change, wheel alignment and such so far. RAM did go high with the interior! Love my new first truck TRX BABY!
I purchased a 2020 RAM REBEL just one year ago, and now have 13 K miles, with not one issue! I LOVE this truck each and every time I get in it, it WOW's me! So Quiet, and comfortable, plus very roomy!
I live in Alberta Canada and I bought a Ram classic 2021 night edition v8 hemi and absolutely love it. It does better millage than expected and rides like a charm. I bought it to tow my 4400 lbs trailer and it has no problem whatsoever. I find it very reliable and that's why I bought it. Well worth the purchase.
It is almost impossible to build a reliable truck and keep updating them every few years. Sure the Toyota Tundra is rated as most reliable, but they are literally the same vehicle for estimated 10 years other than cosmetic changes. The tundra lacks behind all others in mpg’s, safety and ride and comfort and looks. I mean they sell under 200k per year while Ram, Ford and GM sell that in 2 weeks.
In the past 10 years, my family has had a Chrysler Town & Country since 2013, a 2006 Peugeot 407 from 2012 - 2017, a Chevy Sonic from 2014 - 2019, a Toyota Camry from 2006 - 2018, a Ford Explorer from 2018 - 2021, and a Ford Edge from 2018 - 2021. So, plenty of cars from different makes and different segments, plus some that we kept for only a few months while shopping around. As an owner of all of them, I can definitely say that they are all about the same in terms of reliability in our experience, except for the Peugeot which was awful and spent its life being towed and "repaired" until I straight up threw it away. The '06 Camry and the '13 Town and Country have been the second worst, however, they both reached 500k+ km (~300k mi), and with that much mileage they are obviously prone to be problematic. This year we moved countries and we bought 4 new vehicles. We were also able to go higher on trim levels than we had ever before. So finally, my very well loved and well used Town & Country will get some well deserved rest this year. The reason why I'm saying all of this, is that after all of those vehicles, and a lot of shopping around, I can safely say that I like Fords and FCAs. The Explorer and the Edge were both absolutely fantastic! They weren't used that much in the 3 years we had them, but they were rock solid. Also the interiors were ok, nice enough, but not insanely nice (we had a Titanium and a XLT). I loved them! However we decided to go for a RAM 1500 Limited to replace the Town & Country. I liked the F-150 a lot too, but with the current shortage situation getting one (or anything for that matter) was absolutely impossible! But the main reason for going Ram over Ford was the interior. It is not just plain better, but it also makes more sense in its usability IMO. The RAM bins are so awesome to keep tools and fluids that I don't want to keep on the bed. The back seats fold up so my dog can get inside and get some AC without damaging the leather seats, or throwing him on the bed. The center console was also more to my liking over the Ford's. And reliability doesn't scare me that much, since IMO all car brands are about the same, and new cars hold up nicely. I'm excited to take delivery of my 1500 Limited! It should be here this week or maybe next one. I've been waiting since july, due to the shortages, which also forced me go for a Limited instead of the planned Bighorn. Wish me luck!
Bought a New Classic Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi. Am a F150 guy but this Classic was only $2300 more than an 2018 F150 with 65000 mi. Like interior, handling & have about 13000 mi now
I have a 2016 ram 1500 5.7 SLT. It just reached 110000 miles and that’s 75% city driving stop and start traffic . So issues that I have encountered while owning the RAM. Was exhaust manifold bolt snapping off at. 85000 miles same time replacing both upper control arms and bushings. At 90000 my Evap core died so had to replace that. 100000 miles AC compressor clutch froze so got an aftermarket one from eBay for around 250$ works perfectly fine . Don’t know if it’s normal for the ram my front wheel hubs were worn which triggered the ABS control module. So had the hubs changed as well as the module and wheel speed sensors The front hub assembly got them aftermarket work perfectly well . But still get abs service light come on and off. Before changing the hubs the ABS would be triggered while normal slow breaking , not any more , Maintence is done by me religiously royal purple 5w20 HMX I change the oil and filter every 3 miles Spark plugs everything else has been done accordingly . So any thoughts on my RAM considering most of the driving is city driving
My Dodge Ram 2500 sucks!!! The rear wheel wells are rusted out, had to change the tires a few times from wear, the back gas tank strap rusted out, My rear slider window leaks in heavy storms (rubber gasket), My wiper blades are bad again!! I'm pissed. I only used this cream puff for work, long trips, towing 3 boats, 4 kayaks, bikes, and a few heavy loads in the bed through the years. I bought this thing new in 2004(2005 model) ! It's only 17 years old! UGH!
I have the 2021 1500 Classic Tradesman and have had no issues to speak of That said I'm trying to work out a deal to swap for a 2022 Lonestar while its still on sale below sticker!
My 2015 Ram had so many recalls and the Hemi developed a top end tick at 25K miles. Fiat Chrysler was acquired by France’s Groupe PSA best known as the parent of Peugeot and is now called Stellantis. This does not instill confidence in another Ram purchase.
@@juankarron9215I guess we have to spend 40k+ to find out for sure. My guess is the high number of recalls will remain a black eye fir Fiat Chrysler Renault or whatever their new name is now.
@@juankarron9215 60K on the new 2019 or newer model Ram? Like I said. I had so many recalls on my 2015 and problems. It left me stranded at 22K with ignition problems. The A/C vents made a weird creeking noise the entire time I owned it. The Hemi developed a top end tick(not sure if a top end problem) after 25K and I never did figure out why. The body integrity was terrible as a rear door stuck out and the body lines werent even. The front fog lights were so uneven in the bumper I wondered if it had been damaged and repaired and still sold new. That said it was fast especially with the 3.92 rear limited slip axle and the Sport model seats were very cool in the desert heat. Best seat material ever. The rear axle bearing had to be changed out at 18K and the tail gate needed new guts because of a safety hazard. I never had the air bag safety problem fixed because I got tired of leaving it at the dealer. It looked good though lol. I hope yours is problem free though I really do.
I love my Ram but Stelantis can kick rocks. I have a bad exhaust manifold on my v8 Hemi (imagine that)! What makes me mad is the dealer CANNOT order more than 2? Manifolds a week from their supply chain??? So I am waiting in a paper stack at my local dealer because Stelantis does not want to keep a list on their computer?? Sounds like they don't want to know or admit how bad the problem really is. I will have to wait for a service appointment too. I will be lucky to have this fixed by summer if I go through the damn dealers.
I have a 2018 dodge ram 5.7 hemi 1500. I think the ticking noise is the lifter. It started about 36 hours I drove it less then 100 miles when it started. The check engine light came on. Is my engine toast?
Im in Australia love Ram Rebel Ford build crap will chevy 🤢🤮 Ram cost alot here tradesman start at 80k the limited 180.000 trx 260.000+ That gos for all the top 3
Does it have a dimmer switch on info consol? if not that huge screen can be an annoying distraction reflecting off the rear window into the rear view mirror?
You are presuming a lot of issues with the Ram line up, you have to understand that he is talking about a few models, and there are many truck, motor, transmission cab, axle, interior high line, low line configurations , over all you see a lot of Dodge Ram mechanics buying the Ram line up. That’s got to tell you something.
@PizzaBoy I never had any issues with the suspension, including the shocks, on my Ram. On the TRX, Ram used Bilsteins only because of the suspected severe use of that vehicle. Remember, Ram is not in the shock building business. They buy them from another vendor. I never had an issue with my Ram in 156K miles. I would have gone much further but someone hit me. I think this is false rhetoric.
@@scottandrews4822 to be a little more nice about this. I spent 45k on a 2020 5th gen Ram. The truck is mostly aluminum. the hitachis bounced the truck all over the place when driven through rough places. With the yellow and blues I put on the truck handled the rough stuff better but I still wanted more. so we did BDS UCAs and 5100 Bilsteins. That sealed the stability deal big time. The reason they put that special system on the TRX is because Bilsteins engineering is just off the hook. Bilstein aint no dam joke. They come on some Rams...Rebels use yellow and blues and even Fox. The North edition comes with 5100s. shocks. I drove a 2020 classic and yes the truck is good 'acceptable' with Hitachis. Drove one 700 miles out on service. but....My 5th gen "built' blows away the classic. have a good day
@@scottandrews4822 you do realize that JD power associates will award manufacturers that pay them right? I’m not denying whether or not ram is better than ford or ford is better than ram, but Jd power associates is not a good gauge on quality
@@mattweeks2272 Look at all the OTHER RESPONSES: most [>90 or more %] show that RAM IS THE BEST 🚚 TRUCK BRAND! Most negative responses to this statement come from people who have NEVER owned a Ram truck - not a Dodge truck - a RAM. Look at the new ones, drive them, and YOU will be a convert too. Things change. Yes, I AGREE with you that their quality was suspect in the PAST. But...look at them now. Now, not in the past. Take a look at all 3 🇺🇸 US [Ford/Chevy/GM], the top Japanese brands [of 1/2 ton trucks - Toyota and Nissan -, and ANYBODY else you want, and then get back with me. If you have an OPEN MIND and not a --#ConspiracyTheory-- one and yiu read the article posted below, , you will see that JD POWER AND MOTOR TREND [Back to Back to Back Truck of the Year ** THREE ** YEARS IN A ROW] are RIGHT of their awards. Anyone can pay anyone to do ALMOST ANYTHING. Yes, corruption does exist in the 🌎, everyone thst is an adult knows that. But, there are also GOOD QUALITY BUILT items in the world too and awards are EARNED. That...that...is what RAM has done; they have come from worst to first. Whi cares who is the leader in SALES? McDonald's sells billions of 🍔. Doesn't mean their good or good for you [obviously talking about Ford]. Just tale a look at RAM and get back with me; drive one; keep an OPEN mind and compare them to any other 1/2 ton trucks you want. They'll change your mind. Maybe someone paid you for your comnent......just look at them. You'll change your mind. And quit being a --#Conspiracy-- Theorist. I voted for Trump and I drive a Ram 1500 Hemi with the 3.92 gear and an 8 speed. Over 160K TROUBLE FREE, NORMAL MAINTENANCE miles. It's the best truck I have ever owned, and I would get in it and drive to CA tomorrow, now, in a month - whenever - and I live in Georgia, on the other coast. Look at them and get back with me. I am looking forward to speaking with you again. 😊 You'll see. Ram CRUSHES THEM. And no - I do not work for them in any way or get money from them in any way. Dude - take a look - things change. You'll be impressed. And if you say Ford is the best, well --- uh, never mind.

My 2015 Ram had so many recalls and the Hemi developed a top end tick at 25K miles. Fiat Chrysler was acquired by France’s Groupe PSA best known as the parent of Peugeot and is now called Stellantis. This does not instill confidence in another Ram purchase.
they have learned from early models= 2021= the best yet.
@@juankarron9215I guess we have to spend 40k+ to find out for sure. My guess is the high number of recalls will remain a black eye fir Fiat Chrysler Renault or whatever their new name is now.
@@Kawasaki750H2stroke 60K in my case...wish me luck
@@juankarron9215 60K on the new 2019 or newer model Ram? Like I said. I had so many recalls on my 2015 and problems. It left me stranded at 22K with ignition problems. The A/C vents made a weird creeking noise the entire time I owned it. The Hemi developed a top end tick(not sure if a top end problem) after 25K and I never did figure out why. The body integrity was terrible as a rear door stuck out and the body lines werent even. The front fog lights were so uneven in the bumper I wondered if it had been damaged and repaired and still sold new. That said it was fast especially with the 3.92 rear limited slip axle and the Sport model seats were very cool in the desert heat. Best seat material ever. The rear axle bearing had to be changed out at 18K and the tail gate needed new guts because of a safety hazard. I never had the air bag safety problem fixed because I got tired of leaving it at the dealer. It looked good though lol. I hope yours is problem free though I really do.
@@lancelotlink3907 thanks....I got 2021 Laramie Night Edition loaded.....looks like the extended warranty is the way to go LOL
I love my Ram but Stelantis can kick rocks. I have a bad exhaust manifold on my v8 Hemi (imagine that)! What makes me mad is the dealer CANNOT order more than 2? Manifolds a week from their supply chain??? So I am waiting in a paper stack at my local dealer because Stelantis does not want to keep a list on their computer?? Sounds like they don't want to know or admit how bad the problem really is. I will have to wait for a service appointment too. I will be lucky to have this fixed by summer if I go through the damn dealers.
I have a 2018 dodge ram 5.7 hemi 1500. I think the ticking noise is the lifter. It started about 36 hours I drove it less then 100 miles when it started. The check engine light came on. Is my engine toast?
Im in Australia love Ram Rebel
Ford build crap will chevy 🤢🤮
Ram cost alot here tradesman start at 80k the limited 180.000 trx 260.000+
That gos for all the top 3
Are Toyotas more reasonable if they are built in Japan for you guys? If so, go for a Tundra
I am a MOPAR guy. That being said I have had the other 2 brand vehicles as well. Love my 2018 Ram.
Been a ford guy my whole life but recently bout a ram rebel. So far it’s been a great truck but fords electronics are far superior then rams
I wouldn’t drive anything else best truck on the road
Ram all the way! There is no better interior, etc l if the other things are competitive between the Big 3.
Does it have a dimmer switch on info consol? if not that huge screen can be an annoying distraction reflecting off the rear window into the rear view mirror?
My ram rebel 2021 auto off while I’ll driving..😢😢
You are presuming a lot of issues with the Ram line up, you have to understand that he is talking about a few models, and there are many truck, motor, transmission cab, axle, interior high line, low line configurations , over all you see a lot of Dodge Ram mechanics buying the Ram line up. That’s got to tell you something.
Rams tuning and interiors are off the hook. The suspension? Watch what you get. Mopars twin tubes absolutely suck. Bilsteins single tubes are excelant
@PizzaBoy I never had any issues with the suspension, including the shocks, on my Ram. On the TRX, Ram used Bilsteins only because of the suspected severe use of that vehicle. Remember, Ram is not in the shock building business. They buy them from another vendor. I never had an issue with my Ram in 156K miles. I would have gone much further but someone hit me. I think this is false rhetoric.
@@scottandrews4822 to be a little more nice about this. I spent 45k on a 2020 5th gen Ram. The truck is mostly aluminum. the hitachis bounced the truck all over the place when driven through rough places. With the yellow and blues I put on the truck handled the rough stuff better but I still wanted more. so we did BDS UCAs and 5100 Bilsteins. That sealed the stability deal big time. The reason they put that special system on the TRX is because Bilsteins engineering is just off the hook. Bilstein aint no dam joke. They come on some Rams...Rebels use yellow and blues and even Fox. The North edition comes with 5100s. shocks. I drove a 2020 classic and yes the truck is good 'acceptable' with Hitachis. Drove one 700 miles out on service. but....My 5th gen "built' blows away the classic. have a good day
Hard to believe but the new trucks out of GM Ford and Ram the Ram is the most reliable of the three
And the Toyota tundra?
Buy a new 20 year old truck with the Tundra
Build quality on the F-150 is leaps an bounds better. This is coming from a diehard Ram guy who did his homework
Not a chance, Ford has gone downhill badly in recent years
@@wasupfool5692 It's Fiat Ram now. Enough said.
@@sheepdog819 And the quality is even better! JD POWER winner in Initial Vehicle Quality. Check it out!
@@scottandrews4822 you do realize that JD power associates will award manufacturers that pay them right? I’m not denying whether or not ram is better than ford or ford is better than ram, but Jd power associates is not a good gauge on quality
@@mattweeks2272 Look at all the OTHER RESPONSES: most [>90 or more %] show that RAM IS THE BEST 🚚 TRUCK BRAND! Most negative responses to this statement come from people who have NEVER owned a Ram truck - not a Dodge truck - a RAM. Look at the new ones, drive them, and YOU will be a convert too. Things change. Yes, I AGREE with you that their quality was suspect in the PAST. But...look at them now. Now, not in the past. Take a look at all 3 🇺🇸 US [Ford/Chevy/GM], the top Japanese brands [of 1/2 ton trucks - Toyota and Nissan -, and ANYBODY else you want, and then get back with me. If you have an OPEN MIND and not a --#ConspiracyTheory-- one and yiu read the article posted below, , you will see that JD POWER AND MOTOR TREND [Back to Back to Back Truck of the Year ** THREE ** YEARS IN A ROW] are RIGHT of their awards. Anyone can pay anyone to do ALMOST ANYTHING. Yes, corruption does exist in the 🌎, everyone thst is an adult knows that. But, there are also GOOD QUALITY BUILT items in the world too and awards are EARNED. That...that...is what RAM has done; they have come from worst to first. Whi cares who is the leader in SALES? McDonald's sells billions of 🍔. Doesn't mean their good or good for you [obviously talking about Ford]. Just tale a look at RAM and get back with me; drive one; keep an OPEN mind and compare them to any other 1/2 ton trucks you want. They'll change your mind. Maybe someone paid you for your comnent......just look at them. You'll change your mind. And quit being a --#Conspiracy-- Theorist. I voted for Trump and I drive a Ram 1500 Hemi with the 3.92 gear and an 8 speed. Over 160K TROUBLE FREE, NORMAL MAINTENANCE miles. It's the best truck I have ever owned, and I would get in it and drive to CA tomorrow, now, in a month - whenever - and I live in Georgia, on the other coast. Look at them and get back with me. I am looking forward to speaking with you again. 😊 You'll see. Ram CRUSHES THEM. And no - I do not work for them in any way or get money from them in any way. Dude - take a look - things change. You'll be impressed. And if you say Ford is the best, well --- uh, never mind.
Too much bs
