2013 Laramie 4x4. 130K on it now. Manifold bolts leaking but fixed under warranty at 80K. Transmission sensor went out but also fixed under warranty. No other problems. Ram boxes which I like. Still drives well. Burns gas like a mofo.

I have a 2003 that came with self imploding dash board. Other then that I have no complaints. I had the same dash, but I had it totally replaced 2 years ago. It`s nothing that a smooth $1000 wouldn`t fix and I got it done from a friend instead of taking it to a dealership.. It`s just the cost of doing business. Mine was not as bad as some I have seen. Mine looks like a broken jig saw puzzle. I bought a carpeted dash and just covered it up. Yours looks good.

I have never owned a Dodge or Chrysler product in my lifetime +1, I had a Dakota rental with the V8. That truck would run. I looked at a Ram once when they had the stupid hood ornaments. I asked sales dude if I could get one without it. He said he could take it off. I said so can I and there will be a hole. I passed.

2018 RAM. POWER WAGON 2500 as stated earlier ,wanted to add at the time Dodge was offering Lifetime bumper to bumper factory warranty I got $8000 off MSRP and paid $2600 for the lifetime warranty that covers EVERYTHING the 36 month warranty does for $50 deductible per visit. Multiple repaired can be done in one visit. That is why I bought it other than wanting a nice daily driver. I will drive it till I’m dead since I won’t ever have to pay for repairs I probably would have bought a Chevy 2500 gas if that lifetime warranty and $8 grand off wasn’t on the deal. I love the Power Wagon it has amazing off road capability for a big truck , gives up towing capacity but rides great
GOD is good!

I have an associate that works with me and his dad has a half ton Ram with that same warranty. He said they keep trying to buy the truck back from him but he won't sell it. LIFETIME warranty...... That's just awesome. Which one of you is going to get the TRX?

2013 RAM Express 5.7L only problem it's ever had was a shift solenoid failure covered under warranty. Still runs and drives like new.

Has111k miles, exhaust manifolds replaced under warranty at about 80k, passenger side window actuator replaced at about 90k..............That's it.....Oil, gas, tires, and two batteries.....Been a great truck.

Loved my 08 3/4 Ton 4WD Mega Cab. Hated the AC that no one could fix. After three years A/C problems, Traded it on a Tundra, which is hands down the best pickup on the road as long as you don’t mind the poor gas mileage.

Ok this might hurt some feelings. I have a 2019 1500 lone star 5.7 motor. Good: runs decent. Good acceleration for passing. All manners of gadgets to learn. Highway mileage is pretty good. 84,000 miles. Not so good: seats are terrible. I have to make 12-15 hour runs all the time and the seats about cripple me. A gel wheelchair pad helps a little. Brakes need replacing. Shocks are done in. If I just drove around town it would be ok but it isn’t staying nearly as tight as my 16 F150.
Better than the last GM trash but not equal to the Fords.

I just got back from St. Louis yesterday. I traded my 2016 Rebel which had 80,000 flawless preforming miles and one little complaint about the drivers side elbow rest cracked, but I loved it I averaged 16.5 mpg there. I drove home in a 2021 Laramie 1500 ecodiesel 4x4, averaged 26.9 mpg on the way home and had a $&!# eating grin the whole drive home.

Dodges may be alright until you work them. I had a handful of guys at work plead their case and beg for one. Those eight guys were wanting their F350’s back within a year. The rattles, front end repairs, differential replacements, cracked beds, sagging frames, and some transmission problems were more than annoying. These were 2015 year models.
