There's endless Accountant Bradleys out there that are just willing to spend $60k on huge commuter trucks, and the makers are all too happy to provide them. 15-20 years ago, full-size trucks were a good size to fit the family, get work done, and navigate narrower/smaller areas with a little competency. Now they're just obese playthings, "yank tanks" on silly 22" factory wheels. A mobile fortress for the antisocial.

Matt, it's not just an "early build" issue. My usually Mopar loyal buddy gave up on his 2023 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel after Stellantis (not the dealer) REFUSED to fix the center stack going wonky after 3 warranty repairs. In the first week he owned it, the center stack went blank and unresponsive. It spent 9 out of 23 months of ownership parked at dealerships waiting for Stellantis to authorize repairs. Stellantis's line: You (the customer) need to reboot it if it acts up. Thing is, the Mexican made 2500 and larger Ram's seem to be fine. If you have to have a RAM with an inline six, get a bare-bones 2500 with a Cummins. It would be cheaper than the truck Matt reviewed.

He was in his late 60s and it was the last vehicle he was going to own and he was very irritated with the ownership experience. He did say to Ram's credit, they were paying for the rental as they expected to have his truck in the shop for "an extended period" of time, but as soon as it was fixed, he was going to trade it in on another brand.

I appreciate the honest reporting with this review. Good information, sir. Hopefully, they get the bugs worked out.

The UAW has been complaining to Stallantis about two problems that can definitely cause the issues you observed: The wiring harnesses are too short, which is causing too much tension at the connectors leading to intermittent disconnection of various components; and some of the many modules in the truck are not waking up on demand but will do so after 10 minutes or so. Hopefully Ram will get these issues taken care of before too many come off the line.

I have a '22 Wagoneer that stickered for $80K and also has no sunroof, power folding mirrors, or premium sound system. Some of the cost-cutting is getting out of hand.

I have the 5.7 non etourque and my throttle isn’t jumpy like you described but it takes a second to go when you press the pedal. I found that in my 17 Silverado. Also hear about it in other vehicles too. It’s why they have pedal commanders and the like. My transmission does exactly what you describe. It’s clunky. Doesn’t want to downshift shift into 1st for a second when slowing down. Also when you accelerate and then brake it hangs for a second before downshifting. Also when I first get in it is reluctant to shift out of first until it warms up. Other than the transmission I love the truck. These bugs and many others are found in many of the vehicles today. I follow forums and pages of many vehicles. The flaws are plentiful.

I have 2022 SIII Wagoneer (fully loaded with all available options). Same platform as these trucks! Here is list of everything gone wrong with my car: - Active Grill Shutter - Side step stuck and got replaced - Battery - Battery Module - eTourque generator - Belt tensioner and housing - Hood Latch sensor - All internal components for heated seats on both front seats Other than these and total of 5 weeks stay at dealership on different occasions, car has been ok.

Unfortunately I think quality has tanked since Stellantis took over. I have a 22 Ram Rebel. It had some minor bugs with the infotainment (i got the smaller screen), and on rare occasions the transmission clunked into first like you mentioned on this one. OTA updates seem to have fixed all that, as it’s been at least a year without any of those problems coming back. No other real problems after 35k miles. But I’ve been hearing horror stories about the big screens and the I6 in the Wagoneer. If I needed to replace my truck I’m not sure I’d get another Ram. Sad.

Had a 21 Durango SRT and cruise never worked entire lease. Once in a while it would work but would kick off just like that. It's something with their camera systems in the front bumper they fixed it when I turned it in and replaced with new system

Another great example of Stellantis quality and reliability. I can't imagine what the new Ramcharger is going to be like with all its electronic complexity.

Don’t run your mouth if you don’t know what you’re talking about. This is also basically a pre production truck so it’s gonna have some bugs. Next ?

I might just be insane then. My Ford was complete garbage (engine issues and then transmission failed at 49k miles). So I bought a used 2017 Ram 1500. Here I am now 6 years later at 70k miles with $0 spent on repairs.

@@Lq32332 Anecdotal evidence. There are definitely people with high millage vehicles from Stellantis. However, statistically and on average they will be worse than most other brands. I'm glad your Ram is doing well.

@@tylermichaud8699that is a lie. *gm* does not have a class action lawsuit against them for their 10-speed transmission. That transmission is flawless. Try again

Im impressed with the mileage out of the HO motor. Basically has the MPG of the 5.7 with more power and tourque than the 6.4

We bought a new 2023 Grand Cherokee L Limited with the new Uconnect5. Driving down the road, you would lose the driver 1 memory and NAV would stop. We traded that Jeep back in after only 6 months. None of these cars today with their electronics will be showing up for any classic car shows in 40 years.

I've had three Ram limited in the last 6 years. Currently have a 2023 GMC atx4 AEV. A couple of the rams had some issues. One was the wheel bearings completely failed in the front. Replaced and problem solved. The Uconnect was always a little glitchy. The glue that holds all the materials on the dash came off. Transmission never had any issues, unlike a previous GMC before the new transmission 10 spd. The New GMC seems to be good build quality. If I switch to RAM again, I'll probably wait until FCA irons out some of the kinks. They always seem to have issues early in production. Just go to a ram/JEEP dealer and look at the sheer number of vehicles in for service. I can relate to this video. The GMC is by any means not- perfect. There is screen also has some issues time to time. To me the multi-function tailgate is wonky on the GMC. Ram has a much better stereo, rides better, might even handle a little better but hard to judge. The lack of an auto tilt steering wheel shows FCA is trying to save some money. Some folks say the sheet metal on the ram is thinner than GMC/ford. I cannot attest to that.

I had the same issue with the transmission in my Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. It was always late dropping into first gear when rolling up to a stop. If you don’t fully stop it will not drop to first. So annoying that you don’t have the power to move forward with athleticism when rolling through at 2-3 miles per hour. It seems to be the way intentionally from Stellantis. Hope they fix that. My GMC Sierra doesn’t have that problem and I kinda forgot how it bugged me.

I have this exact same issue and complaint about the transmission in my 2017 Ram hemi not dropping to first in a timely manner. Drives me nutty. I’m considering aftermarket tuning like Diablo etc to be able to customize shifting etc. Not cheap but my warranty just ran out and I’m almost paid it off.

I'm not getting rid of my 21 with the 5.7 any time soon lol

I can't believe Ram hasn't resolved the driveshaft clunk yet with all the complaints they get. My 2023 TRX has the same issue my dealer did nothing about it when I took it in

Same transmission problem from 2019 ram Limited. They have not fixed it yet and why we talking have you had any problem with the engine block he was having brand new trucks having problems with the engine blocks.

Hard to beat the ride and smoothness of the ram 1500

Fiat reliability for a high cost to get worse than v8 mileage on a foreign truck that hasn’t changed in years. It’s amazing how little this has going for it

That throttle an transmission response is not going to change. Ive noticed its reaccuring theme with all their vehicles. I rented a Cherokee X and did all of those things. Our 2023 Durango Pursuits at work the same thing.

Never had issues with mine. Early production are actually carry over. The dealer can do a system reboot.

These issues aren’t just with RAM. In 2020 I purchased a brand new $80 GMC SIerra. It was nothing but issues from the first week I had it. Brakes failed, leaking rear window, rusting exhaust pipe. Yes I said rusting. It was one thing after another. After two years I gave up and traded it in. The dealer ran a history on it, after they paid me, and with in a week wholesaled it off of their lot. They did not want their name attached to it. 😞 Went back to RAM.

I’m not surprised just saddened, love their interiors

Saddened over a pre production truck? Didn’t Toyota have a crap ton of issues on PRODUCTION tundras ? And aren’t Tacoma engines blowing up?? All manufacturers have first year issues

My 2020 silverado v8 5.3 gets 20 mpg on the highway... what the hell are we making the v6s for???

You'd expect it when trucks were $25k-$45k. But now at $50k-$70k, we expect a lot better quality. It's just disappointing.

Right on par with a BMW, so how well does it truck for 90k?

Ram trucks are great for hemi and 8 Speed. It’s these upper trims with giant tablets and fancy cruise control that are buggy. Although Ram is stupid providing a reviewer with a truck that can’t do what’s advertised….

THANKYOU FOR BEING HONESTLY!! The best choice for a Luxury pick up truck is still going to be THE GMC DENALI ULTIMATE IT CURRENTLY HAS THE BEST BALANCE OF ALL THINGS.

I paid $32,800 for my brand new 2021 Crew Cab Titan 4x4 with a V8. These prices are just nuts.

Great buy. I live in Canada and they stop selling Titans in 2021. I bought a 2023 Frontier Pro 4x instead. If they sold them in 2023 I would have bought one. Naturally aspirated 400 hp. Nice.

I have a 2023 and yes the uconnect system can be buggy. I have thing that simply do not work and few days later they do. Then in CarPlay, the screen does some weird animation like a window expanding then goes away. Nothing so far that's affecting the use of my truck but their electronics do feel half baked at times. Same with the Jeep that I traded in.

With the mustang gone have you considered exploring doing a budget build of some sort? Maybe an auction find... I think a series people can get more attached to with some less professional feeling vibes may help you get the views up again. Just a thought. Just make sure it's not another mini ;) -Austin

Trucks have jumped about 25-30% in price from 2018 to 2024 or about 6-8% additional profit after factoring inflation. They are matching the ridiculous inflation we've seen and then upcharging even further.

I've got a 2012 2WD Sport with the 5.7. At 160K miles, I had to replace the radio/gps unit and the rear view camera. Otherwise, regular maintenance and it's been good to go. But these new ones with I6 turbos - Hmmmm......Iffy.

Absolutely a beautiful truck...ABSOLUTELY AND INSANE PRICE!!!!!

My son in law likes to pick on me for buying a Hyundai, claiming that they’re pieces of crap and unreliable. His Ram 1500 has been in the shop many times for minor issues, and my daughter’s 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been a total pos. The start stop glitches out, leaving her stranded. Meanwhile my “pos unreliable” Hyundai has been rock solid.

Stellantis is accomplishing its goal to only have the Jeep brand as its a "luxury" SUV off-road US seller.

Thanks for the review! Had a 2014, 2015, and 2020 Ram, but at this price and with these issues, I think I’ll have to stick with Ford this go around.

I had 4 19-23 ram 1500’s and 2500’s all limited. All the screens were buggy. Was super annoying

Great vid Matt. Seems like 86k is absurd for this truck

I’m not spending the kind of money they want for these on “hopefully” they fix the software. I’m a consumer not a beta tester. I was really hoping to replace my Gladiator with the hurricane Ram too.
