*Post your Ram questions and comments below.* We'll definitely revisit this truck again and do another Q&A!

Thanks for taking the time out with these videos. With the cost of these trucks its good to see how they hold up and you obviously use yours. Have you had to deal with any rock salt since you have had it? That stuff kills the underside. Good luck 👍

The best part of my ram that I love so much is mirror tilt while going in reverse, is very help full, that feature killed it😎

[donchin]

guess I'm lucky I have 129000 on a 2017 Laramie with no AC issues, I did replace the Shocks and struts at 100, 000 miles just because as well as the plugs. i also replaced the exhaust bolts at 86, 000 miles as one was broken. all in all a great truck!

I was a valet driver and I remember driving a RAM 2500 that had that sound when I steer the wheel, I thought it was normal. I remember because I fell in love with that ram

I have a 2020 big horn with a 3.0 and 3.92 rear end. As far as towing goes it's great and it still has pretty good fuel economy. I've done the same steering repair that you did. Personally I didnt want the air suspension so I went with out it same with the sun roof. As for the leaking sun roofs. I'm a mechanic and I found on other vehicles it's one of two things. The sun roof drains getting clogged or the gasket going bad. Majority of the time it's the drains. I usually suggest to people to get a snake (same tool to unclog toilets/pipes) and just run it through all 4 holes in the sun roof. It is possible for bugs to crawl in there and get stuck and die in these drains. My complaint but I knew it when I got the truck is that I cant have a 33 gallon tank in my current configuration (quad cab with a 6' bed).

You’ve probably heard this by now, but for others, what I read elsewhere is that you need to have “Bed Utility Group” on the window sticker as an equipment option to get the bed divider/tailgate extension.

You should have the air suspension in normal mode, place the truck in jack mode, lower the trailer on to your hitch, connect the ball, raise the trailer using the trailer jack, connect the WD bars, lower the trailer jack, then drive the trailer away.
I had the JGC with the air suspension and used the same process. The air suspension should never be used to raise or lower the trailer.
You can check with FCA on this but I'm sure it is written in the manual.
Looking forward to towing my trailer with my new 2020 1500 Limited EcoDiesel.

Great, honest, review. Truck looks really good. I really like black.

I have 78, 000 miles on my 2013 Ram 1500 Laramie. My air bags have been great.

[lauderdalechad]

I had a 17 Ram 1500 limited with air ride and only had 1 issue with it. Had a 2 day stretch of - 25F weather and compressor must have ran too hard trying to maintain air in the system and blew a fuse. Other than that it was flawless and it was one of my favorite things about that truck

The Ram dealer in Broken Arrow fixed my AC with a computer fix. Something about adjusting the mix door. I now have cold air on my 2019 Limited

I have 2020 Ram 1500 Big Horn 4x4. I have the A/C problem, too. Sad part is Dodge Caravan A/C has 100% better A/C ( is a work van). What I miss is push a button on the door handle to open the door. My mistake was I bought a quad cab instead of crew cab due to big hump on passenger side, my husband is 6’2 feet tall. I love this truck is a lot smoother as my 2017 Nissan Titan SV 4x2.

Hi. My 2019 ram limited with ram boxes and spray in bedliner did come with the divider. Really enjoyed your video. I’ve had problems with my airbag system. Dealer replaced the sensor. Have 30, 000 on mine. The AC sucks.

[saltydog]

Thanks for the review, I will add my that my A/C leaves much to be desired. I believe this has to do with the yf1234 Freon.

[treeight]

I just bought a used 2019 ram 46000 miles. It has the ram box and the bed divider was in the bed. Not sure if it was included I just know it was there when I bought it.

[bradleygeake]

Etorque apparently does a service for MPG, get 17 combined with 3.92 axel

[ArthurDentZaphodBeeb]

Rambox is $995. Have to add the Bed Utility Group to get the divider, at least that's on the 2020 and 2021 models

[carlos]

I get 10-11 MPG city, 15 HWY with 3.92 gears and 35" tires. I wonder if it will get any better.

Great video. I have a 2019 ram 1500 midnight edition. Overall I really love the truck but you are right about the A/C. It just doesn't blow as cold as other trucks I have had. The only other issue I have had is my front sway bar end link on the passenger side had to be replaced at about 8000 miles. I think the driver side is starting to go now. I live in the north east and in the summer I get about 15 mpg and 12 to 13 in the winter. I also have the 3.21 ratio. I think that's the number you said but I know it's not the higher ratio. Thanks for the video!
