Thanks for this great content! I just bought my first truck ever... RAM 1500 Bighorn....and enjoy it like crazy. Great power and what a smooth ride. The thing that I found interesting is the back-up camera green lines. I had exactly the same issue and when taking it to the dealership, it never did the same(good thing I recorded it). Even sent them the link to this video 😉. Again, keep posting
Driving the same little 2 door 4 cylinder Pontiac since the summer of 06 when gas prices spiked to $4 per gallon (Florida). My brother just bought one of these 2020 Ram Bighorns and I got to drive it in city and highway conditions. What a pleasure. Can't believe how well it handles and just love all the interior bells and whistles. Love using the little round knob to easily move from park-reverse-drive. Love the digital display. Connecting my smartphone to the display Bluetooth was easy.
Great video. I purchased a Ram Longhorn in Jan. I’m from Canada Manitoba. With our very cold weather this truck started with no issues. Not even plugged in. By far the best riding truck I ever owned. I had them all. I have 11 thousand kilometres now and so far so good. Gas mileage has dramatically improved. On the highway I got 20 miles per gallon
It's definitely the BEST RIDING truck I've ever owned and have other truck owners say the exact same thing. I'm wondering why the other makes don't mimic the interior and ride, which is what Ram has over the others at the moment.
Kenneth Allen so true. GMC is very very outdated in there interiors. Nice on the outside but that’s it. Ford has better interior design but Ram hit it out of the park for not that much more money.
Nice, got mine in Feb and now over 32,000 km and no issues. I drive a fair bit for work so the smooth ride, as far as trucks go is essential. I spent the previous 2.5 years, doing the same driving but in a 2016 Chev 2500 and I'm just glad I didn't have to have my fillings replaced. No comparison, not even close.
On your plug for your trailer, the issue can be solved simply by purchasing an adapter that goes from the 4 wire plug to the larger plug on the bottom.
Not to pry, but I have wanted a Limited. Looked at a night loaded with everything, a 2020. It had 10,000 miles and was the most decked out interior i have ever seen. A caddy does not have that Quality of leather. The sales guy bolted early the day i was going to buy it. He said he would call me back with best price. He was gone for 2 days, and the sold it by the time i got back there. Their sticker was 52,000. Off road, ram boxes night edition sun roof 12 inch screen. I looked at 2021 models 76,000! I wanted to know what price you paid for the limited?
For the back up camera I had to do this a couple times when working at a dealer. Unscrew the plates in the tail gate, disconnect the connector for the camera, apply a small amount of dielectric grease, do the same at the connector going into the bed, this fixed every truck we had with the issue
My mom has the same 2019 ram 1500, Appearance package lighting everything it's really nice, And our Ram came with the adapter needed to fix the issue you were having. And another nice thing is the Ram boxes, A lot dealerships didn't get the Rams with the Ram boxes but my mom got her Ram with them, They are really nice and convenient just like the Ram bins.
Really nice looking truck, congrats! Very simple and honest review! Not once you wasted time overdoing your opinion. You pointed out a like or a dislike and stated your take on an easy to understand reason. Very well done :) Sure everything can be personal opinion, except the towing connector VS tailgate fiasco! WTH Ram? Hopefully you don't scuff your tailgate by accident. But don't stress out, every manufacturer does a fiasco on their products [not an excuse automakers ):( ] I personally own an F150 for 2 years now (2 F150 in a row - 6 years, total happy ownership). It has fiascos as well, but I love it with no need be biased or fan boy. Not perfect, but perfect for my needs. I'm a truck guy and like them all. Each have pros and cons. Preferences, preferences. Let's respect each others. Keep rolling and posting your clean videos and opinions. It is super nice to "travel" inside other trucks while having a nice "conversation". Enjoy every minute of your truck! Cheers!
I got one too traded in my 2017 chevy for this same truck i love it dodge is now number one and all the bugs or problems are gone with the hemi engine in the new model dodge trucks
If I'm not mistaken - on the F150 putting a dummy plug in the tow hitch that makes the truck think it's.towing will shut off the auto start stop - maybe it works on the ram?
Just turned over 28,440 miles on my 2016 Ram Crew Sport. No major issues , though the 2nd time I used the windshield wipers, the wiper motor quit. Got a loaned car for the rainy weekend. I have taken several trips to Las Vegas from SoCal. I averaged between 24-26 mpg each way. I am very happy with the mileage. Added locks to my under floor compartments, tailgate snubber, running board steps and a few other items as well. I really like the new style of the RAM, but I have an incredible factory warranty that was offered for a VERY short time. So I plan on keepiong this Truck a very long time! :-)
I'm new to Dodge trucks. Just got a 2017 Ram 1500 Big Horn 4x4 Crew Cab 5.7L. It's gorgeous and I love it. I've had Ford F150s and have been a Ford fan. My truck came with a tow package, and my trailer connections are below the rear fender next to the hitch receiver. Which model of Ram 1500 did you get? (apologies if you mentioned it in the video)
GO ahead and buy an extension (or adapter) for the trailer plug. That way you don't have to put up with that first world problem :). You also get the 'happiness plus' factor in that you can stow extension in that rear floorboard bin. Oh and not sure if your Dodge is like my wife's car (chevy cruze) but when engine shuts off at light she can just lift the brake a tad and engine with come back on. The car doesn't have a switch to turn that feature off at all but perhaps it's time to start googling for that plug in..
I ordered a 2021 rebel with the multifunction tailgate, just curious if you looked into it at all and your thoughts on it? And as for your plug, you could trim that cover piece down a little bit.
If you go to a parts store you can buy a 7 pin to 4 pin trailer plug in adapter for around 10 dollars and use the bottom trailer plug in and eliminate your problem
clarks2001 they actually did. The reason they don’t have it as a option for the 1500, the specs isn’t any better than the 5.7l. There was a rumoured hell cat ram a few years ago announced. Not sure why they cancelled it
@@bradc7720 Exactly, its tuned for towing not for speed. Id rather tune and mod the 5.7. Few simple tricks can extract enough power to match a 6.4. That motor is also heavier I'd assume, stupid to put in a 1500.
Hi, Can you suggest what trim levels in Ram 1500 4×4 are good choice in terms of budget. I am looking for good interiors as well. And as a 1st time truck buyer, is there any key things need to be considered or known . Thanks
So, with the AC issue where it turns off, does it do that when you turn off the auto start/stop? Because I plan on moving to Florida in a few years lol and I don't wanna be in the same boat you are when I go to purchase my new Ram in a few months.
I currently have a 2011 Ram Power Wagon with the 5.7 Hemi with a 101,000 miles on it. I expect to be purchasing a new truck sometime perhaps within the next 2 years. I was thinking about the Toyota Tundra but, I keep going back to the Ram. I just love the look and interior. I did not have any problem with my truck until 99,900 miles. That's when the lifters and camshaft went. Apparently it's common on the 5.7. Which engine do you have on your Ram?
1 other gripe about tailgate down. I haul my kayak a bunch and you can’t see the license plate with tailgate down I have the Rebel package and love it so far about 7500 miles and a trip from Dallas to the mountains in Colorado. No issues other than those stupid recalls and an update to the radio that took a couple hours ( to fix FM) SiriusXM and everything else was fine
Does the start/stop disable hack that worked on the Fords, work on the Rams? I think it was like a $7 plug dead-wired that you plugged into the towing harness and the truck automatically disables start/stop cause it thinks you are towing. I agree with you, messing with it every time you are in the car is a PIA.
I own a 2019 Ram and my backup camera started to glitch. I took it to the dealership and they said it was the uconnect that needed to be updated. They updated it for me and now it works fine. I hope this helps.
You right about the tow hook connector, but other wise the truck Ram is awesome, Ram really went out to upgrade the rams 2019-20,love my baby Girl hemi 5.7 ,that I have in front license plate tag on it
I have a 2019 1500 Laramie 4x4 without the start/stop system and love it. Thank's for letting me know about the plug problem in the back... I have no used it yet, but will keep that in mind that it can rub against the tailgate, if it is down.
I like your review. Thanks for taking the time to do it. For your backup cam issue, see if there is a firmware/software update through the dealership, or an update for your radio which may be connected. I don't know if you can update, but it's worth a try.
Hi man, I have watched your video it's really amazing Truck I have the same model Bighorn it's really amazing Truck, and I wish to see what you will do later as modification.
Honestly the ram trucks are sooo easy to drive like I recently started working at a dodge dealership and before then the largest thing I had driven was a Ford Taurus but now I am fully confident in parallel/reverse parking in the lot (not a lot of wiggle room so you gotta be precise) within like 2/3 weeks I got fully confident as if I’ve driven them for years
love the truck, I have the same one. One a trip from Central TX to AZ I was getting 19-21 mpg at an average of 80+ mph... which I LOVED! I sit around 15-18 in the city.
I have never own a new ride, but I bought a 2017 1500 ram longhhorn laramie and let me tell you sir I love it, it was well taking care of. This truck has all the bell and whistle. Buddy I fell in love.
hey i saw your review and saw about the tailgate touching the cover of the trailer electrical connector. i went outside and checked my 2012 bighorn and my tailgate doesnt touch the connector cover.
jbarres80 Yeah I was looking at the night edition but they changed too much. No longer do you get the dual exhaust and the lights are the standard halogen. And to me anyway the whole front being black is too much. They needed to body color around the main part of the grill and leave the inserts the black. But that’s just me and my taste.
The plug for the back up camera is just under the rear bumper. It looks like a coaxial cable for your tv but smaller. Unplug it, blow it out and plug it back in. Mine has blue screened several times and that fixed it.
Just picked up the same truck 2020 model and the auto shut off is gone. First thing I looked for when I sat in it at the dealership! Thanks for the heads up.
Interesting that it still shuts off when A/C is on. Our BMW car ignores the auto-shut-off if you have the A/C cranked, which is a nice, thoughtful touch.
Loved my 2015 Sport but 6 recalls by year 3 was disappointing. The biggies were rear axle bearings replaced and air bags. Tailgate locking mechanism replacement and 2 software updates werent a big deal. The Hemi ticked after 25K miles and the key fob ignition switch broke at around 23K made me wonder.. Loved the interior though and the exterior looked great too.
in reference to the camera issue: lower the tailgate and in between the bed and tailgate you will see a wire harness. get some sticky backed zip tie keepers, pull that wire harness up to the tailgate surface and zip tie up so it stays put. I had the same camera issues with my 17 limited (just got rid of last week) and it turns out that the wiring harness will drop down between the tailgate and bed causing it to get pinched and jerked around. I zip tied mine up and never had an issue again
I have a 2020 ram 1500 big horn as well but mine doesn't have the auto stop button on mine.. Absolutely love mine and im averaging around 18-21 mpg mainly highway usage but still not bad in my opinion!!
Love the play list 2pac and snoop! Good looking truck, thanks for the info, i'm shopping F150 v8 vs Ram right now. I had a 2016 Jeep GC that had the auto stop start and I too hated it!
Just got into a ‘19 big horn, came from a ‘16 big horn. Also had an ‘07 1500 Hemi and ‘17 3.6 ram. Both 4x4 CCSB Hemis, and I gotta say, the small things about the 5th gens make it worth the upgrade. Everything just seems…better? Engine tune might be the same, but it drives better. 4x4 feels much more responsive. Brakes are much much better. Suspension is much better. They did a great job. They’re great trucks. I love how they look, handle, drive, everything.
Bought 1500 classic last year. Had zero issue. Loved it , but... Few weeks ago sold it and got Ram 1500 hemi Sport ( Laramie Sport for you in US ). Here in Canada it's just Sport . Black inside, black outside. Didn't go for sunroof and 12" screen. At my dealership they had few leaking once and some problems with 12" . Don't know, never use sunroof anyway... What can I say ,Classic was good truck ,this one 2020 Sport is just new level. Great truck. Love it . Plus I've got complementary extended warranty...
You can avoid the rubbing of the trailer plug cover on the tailgate by getting an adaptor for the larger plug in, that way you have to lift the bottom cover up to plug in the wire harness.
Great looking truck. Looking forward to future reviews. It'll come down to either this truck or Toyota 2021 with the supposed twin turbo V6 which I'm sure will be comparable to Rams numbers at the very least unless they dog it. This next year will be an interesting year for 2021 trucks.
@@datguy8371 That would work too, he has a unique situation, most trailer users don't have the need to pull trailers with the tailgate down. And some trailers can't be pulled with the tailgate down due to clearance issues. I would just buy a $10 adapter and keep it in the glove box for this situation.
Toby MT1925 our a little filling on the top of the plug shroud. Granted after spending that kind of money I wouldn’t think I’d have to do that but to save paint and potential rust.....
Just a heads up you can get an adapter from Walmart for the trailer lights so you can plug your wire into the bottom plug and not have to deal with the tailgate issue
Ps. As for the auto shut. Can’t you change the setting to sport? I have the auto shut also in the Highlander, which is linked to Eco. But I hate it. So I always change it to Sport mode. The annoying part is that I have to change it every time I start the car. The Sport mode gives it more power and performance. But of course burns more gas.
Hey RC, I liked the video and subscribed. I'm on my 2nd RAM 1500 leased, 2017 and now the 2019. In addition to your list of likes/dislikes I just wanted to add I loved both trucks and had zero problems with the 2016. The 2019 had to have the gas tank replaced because of 'known' tripping the pump release during gas filling (covered by dealer). The front parking sensors stopped working and show service needed. Dealer says a rock must have hit front sensor and caused it to fail. (not covered by warranty) and will cost $700. to replace that 1 sensor. crazy to think every time a rock hits the bumper, may cost me that to restore this feature. The sensors are a great and necessary feature but they need to make them easier to replace then. These 2019 sensors list for $210. on the web. Just FYI to every one. Love everything else.
Hey considering those two things are you only real complaints about the truck, that's not bad at all.. I love my 19 ram 1500 laramie. Only issue I have is the gas mileage sucks big time but I don't really care too much anyway. My truck is 4x4 with the 3.92 ratio on the gearing (or something like that) so I only get around 13mpg around town. But it sure does tow good and can't get stuck in anything lol.. I love it!
There is a wiring harness you can install on the JL wranglers that bypasses that auto start and stop. They probably have one for the ram 1500s as well.
Great review. That trailer plug would be annoying. You could maybe trim the top plastic off of the cover for clearance. I'm surprised they didn't catch that.
Get a 7 prong adapter to flat blade when you load your 4 wheeler. Then plug into main plug and done deal. Usually when you tow the tailgate is up so you don’t jackknife the tailgate with trailer.
Ford/Chevy/Dodge/Nissan/Toyota... we have actual owner's reviews on EVERY truck model coming up!
*UPDATE: We made an Actual Owner's Review playlist*
Are you having issues with the shift knob?
Is this a v6 or v8
Sweet deal I will be looking out for all those, hopefully some mid sized trucks will be included. I wasn't aware that Dodge made trucks anymore? :)
Forrest Earnest Yup, midsize trucks too! 2019 Colorado coming later on this week
Forrest Earnest ...sorry, Fiat* ;)
You sold me when I saw 2 Pac in your playlist.

Great review on your Ram 1500. What is the ring & pinion ratio on your truck? My 2019 has a 3.92.
That's same Ram im thinking about getting thanks for info.
Awesome review. I’m going from tundra to eco diesel ram maybe...love the review !
Excellent video. I have the Longhorn. I never thought about plug in interfering with tailgate. Very good call out!
well most people dont tow with it down. LOL
Really nice looking truck, congrats!
Very simple and honest review! Not once you wasted time overdoing your opinion. You pointed out a like or a dislike and stated your take on an easy to understand reason. Very well done :)
Sure everything can be personal opinion, except the towing connector VS tailgate fiasco! WTH Ram? Hopefully you don't scuff your tailgate by accident. But don't stress out, every manufacturer does a fiasco on their products [not an excuse automakers ):( ]
I personally own an F150 for 2 years now (2 F150 in a row - 6 years, total happy ownership). It has fiascos as well, but I love it with no need be biased or fan boy. Not perfect, but perfect for my needs.
I'm a truck guy and like them all. Each have pros and cons. Preferences, preferences. Let's respect each others.
Keep rolling and posting your clean videos and opinions. It is super nice to "travel" inside other trucks while having a nice "conversation".
Enjoy every minute of your truck!
Cheers!

for the trailer wire issue just buy a 7 pin to 4 pin adapter and use the round plug
Check out the Carli suspension for leveling the commuter or performance package far above the mopar offerings
If you go to a parts store you can buy a 7 pin to 4 pin trailer plug in adapter for around 10 dollars and use the bottom trailer plug in and eliminate your problem
Thanks for the info. Does your truck have 3.21 or 3.92 rear gears?
did you get the alpine system? It's the best stock system I have ever had?
Isnt the engine with the e-torque supposed to let the AC continue to work when auto stop is activated. Is there not a way to make that happen?
I wish Ram would put the 6.4 in the 1500. I’m aware of the Hellcat engine rumor for the TRX but I think I’d be happy with a 6.4 powered Ram with 4wd.
If I am not mistaking the 6.4 is only 410 hp but has more torque. Not that much difference.. but lots worse on gas mileage.
Brad C I would hope that they put the one from the Charger in that has 485hp and 475 ft.lbs. That would be just perfect for me lol

The placement of the trailer light connections
Camera glitch
Engine stop "feature"
you can press a button to turn off the engine stop if we are talking about the same thing.
My Laramie doesn’t have the auto off feature, but I have drive other dodges with it and yes it’s annoying.

Honestly the ram trucks are sooo easy to drive like I recently started working at a dodge dealership and before then the largest thing I had driven was a Ford Taurus but now I am fully confident in parallel/reverse parking in the lot (not a lot of wiggle room so you gotta be precise) within like 2/3 weeks I got fully confident as if I’ve driven them for years
love the truck, I have the same one. One a trip from Central TX to AZ I was getting 19-21 mpg at an average of 80+ mph... which I LOVED! I sit around 15-18 in the city.
that's respectable
Do they maybe have an extension for the trailer light connection. Not sure but you should look into it.
Thanks for the review. How would you rate the AC in this truck in Florida heat? I heard it’s not efficient enough above 90 degrees oat.
Were in AZ at 112 degrees today. The Air Conditioner is surprisingly phenomenal
I live in south Texas and have an identical truck. My truck will not allow the auto start stop to kill the AC if it detects the cab is heating up
Good channel bro, thanks for your review
I have never own a new ride, but I bought a 2017 1500 ram longhhorn laramie and let me tell you sir I love it, it was well taking care of. This truck has all the bell and whistle.
Buddy I fell in love.
hey i saw your review and saw about the tailgate touching the cover of the trailer electrical connector. i went outside and checked my 2012 bighorn and my tailgate doesnt touch the connector cover.
Those storage bins are nice feature I’m deciding which truck to get 2019 black out or wait for the 2020 Night edition
jbarres80 Yeah I was looking at the night edition but they changed too much. No longer do you get the dual exhaust and the lights are the standard halogen. And to me anyway the whole front being black is too much. They needed to body color around the main part of the grill and leave the inserts the black. But that’s just me and my taste.
The plug for the back up camera is just under the rear bumper. It looks like a coaxial cable for your tv but smaller. Unplug it, blow it out and plug it back in. Mine has blue screened several times and that fixed it.
Good info
My 2017 Night Edition, just like this one, was in the shop 3 times for the back up camera. they replaced it and it stopped.
Great vid.keep em coming.
Just picked up the same truck 2020 model and the auto shut off is gone. First thing I looked for when I sat in it at the dealership! Thanks for the heads up.
Is there a difference between 2019 and 2020.I have 2019 Tundra too...:)
Wondering how you like it after a year of driving....Tundra literarily doest break....
The auto-start/stop is only on the E-Torque "models."
Interesting that it still shuts off when A/C is on. Our BMW car ignores the auto-shut-off if you have the A/C cranked, which is a nice, thoughtful touch.
You have a five switch panel on your dash. Is it factory? Where did you get it.
Loved my 2015 Sport but 6 recalls by year 3 was disappointing. The biggies were rear axle bearings replaced and air bags. Tailgate locking mechanism replacement and 2 software updates werent a big deal. The Hemi ticked after 25K miles and the key fob ignition switch broke at around 23K made me wonder.. Loved the interior though and the exterior looked great too.
A fanboy is one who is brand loyal no matter what crap is sold.
in reference to the camera issue: lower the tailgate and in between the bed and tailgate you will see a wire harness. get some sticky backed zip tie keepers, pull that wire harness up to the tailgate surface and zip tie up so it stays put. I had the same camera issues with my 17 limited (just got rid of last week) and it turns out that the wiring harness will drop down between the tailgate and bed causing it to get pinched and jerked around. I zip tied mine up and never had an issue again
Im stoked on the Dodge. Definitely. My first full-size truck. I do alot of off rd and have a Drywall business. Thxs for the review
I have a 2021 and I am elated to tell you that mine does not have that shut off feature! Don't know how, but it doesn't. Love that about it.
You can get an adapter from 7-pin to a 4-pin plug and just use lower power plug for trailer. Its about $10. It will not interfere with your tailgate.
I have a 2020 ram 1500 big horn as well but mine doesn't have the auto stop button on mine..
Absolutely love mine and im averaging around 18-21 mpg mainly highway usage but still not bad in my opinion!!
I thought start stop will not work if it is above or below a certain temperature or if the cabin temp goes above or below a certain temp?
Love the play list 2pac and snoop! Good looking truck, thanks for the info, i'm shopping F150 v8 vs Ram right now. I had a 2016 Jeep GC that had the auto stop start and I too hated it!
Got the v8 F150. LOVE IT
M_ White008 v8 f150 baby💪🏽. Faster and better driving truck than ram.
Just got into a ‘19 big horn, came from a ‘16 big horn. Also had an ‘07 1500 Hemi and ‘17 3.6 ram. Both 4x4 CCSB Hemis, and I gotta say, the small things about the 5th gens make it worth the upgrade. Everything just seems…better? Engine tune might be the same, but it drives better. 4x4 feels much more responsive. Brakes are much much better. Suspension is much better. They did a great job.
They’re great trucks. I love how they look, handle, drive, everything.
Thank you for the honest review. Very refreshing. I have 2 rams, an 04 and a 12. Love them both, next one will be a 22 model. Great looking truck btw
What’s long term maintenance like? I hear the transmissions crap out a lot and a lot of other big maintenance issues that get real expensive.
Bought 1500 classic last year. Had zero issue. Loved it , but... Few weeks ago sold it and got Ram 1500 hemi Sport ( Laramie Sport for you in US ). Here in Canada it's just Sport . Black inside, black outside. Didn't go for sunroof and 12" screen. At my dealership they had few
leaking once and some problems with 12" . Don't know, never use sunroof anyway... What can I say ,Classic was good truck ,this one 2020 Sport is just new level. Great truck. Love it . Plus I've got complementary extended warranty...
You can avoid the rubbing of the trailer plug cover on the tailgate by getting an adaptor for the larger plug in, that way you have to lift the bottom cover up to plug in the wire harness.
this is true. but its one of those things I shouldn't have to
Go into your dash settings.. and go to Gear Selector and turn on your gear indicator. Its neat to see what gear your trans is in while driving.
sweet...thanks
Great looking truck. Looking forward to future reviews.
It'll come down to either this truck or Toyota 2021 with the supposed twin turbo V6 which I'm sure will be comparable to Rams numbers at the very least unless they dog it.
This next year will be an interesting year for 2021 trucks.
Buy a 7 to 4 pin adapter and your trailer plug problem is solved... nice truck.
Or flip that wiring connector over.
@@datguy8371 That would work too, he has a unique situation, most trailer users don't have the need to pull trailers with the tailgate down. And some trailers can't be pulled with the tailgate down due to clearance issues. I would just buy a $10 adapter and keep it in the glove box for this situation.
Toby MT1925 Yep, I keep one in my Durango
Just do what my buddy did, he got out his dremmel and trimmed about 1/8” off he top of the plastic cover... problem solved and you can’t even tell.
Toby MT1925 our a little filling on the top of the plug shroud. Granted after spending that kind of money I wouldn’t think I’d have to do that but to save paint and potential rust.....
What did you think of the paint? Was it clear or more of a orange peel look?
Just a heads up you can get an adapter from Walmart for the trailer lights so you can plug your wire into the bottom plug and not have to deal with the tailgate issue
Ps. As for the auto shut. Can’t you change the setting to sport? I have the auto shut also in the Highlander, which is linked to Eco. But I hate it. So I always change it to Sport mode. The annoying part is that I have to change it every time I start the car. The Sport mode gives it more power and performance. But of course burns more gas.
Curious about an update now that you've had it about a year.
Your tailgate can be lowered into a “raised” position. Move the tailgate cables to the higher anchor point.
Hey RC, I liked the video and subscribed. I'm on my 2nd RAM 1500 leased, 2017 and now the 2019. In addition to your list of likes/dislikes I just wanted to add I loved both trucks and had zero problems with the 2016. The 2019 had to have the gas tank replaced because of 'known' tripping the pump release during gas filling (covered by dealer). The front parking sensors stopped working and show service needed. Dealer says a rock must have hit front sensor and caused it to fail. (not covered by warranty) and will cost $700. to replace that 1 sensor. crazy to think every time a rock hits the bumper, may cost me that to restore this feature. The sensors are a great and necessary feature but they need to make them easier to replace then. These 2019 sensors list for $210. on the web. Just FYI to every one. Love everything else.
Have the same problem too! It keeps on tripping when I fill the gas hopefully, the dealer will replace and fix it.
Hey considering those two things are you only real complaints about the truck, that's not bad at all.. I love my 19 ram 1500 laramie. Only issue I have is the gas mileage sucks big time but I don't really care too much anyway. My truck is 4x4 with the 3.92 ratio on the gearing (or something like that) so I only get around 13mpg around town. But it sure does tow good and can't get stuck in anything lol.. I love it!
There is a wiring harness you can install on the JL wranglers that bypasses that auto start and stop. They probably have one for the ram 1500s as well.
Great review. That trailer plug would be annoying. You could maybe trim the top plastic off of the cover for clearance. I'm surprised they didn't catch that.
Yeah I was looking at that too but that doesn’t stop the door from pinching the wires to the tailgate.
Get a 7 prong adapter to flat blade when you load your 4 wheeler. Then plug into main plug and done deal. Usually when you tow the tailgate is up so you don’t jackknife the tailgate with trailer.
Truck central....would you still get this over an F150 ?
I get ur trailer light point but a workaround is to get the 7 pin to 4 pin adapter, then use the bottom port with zero issues when tailgates down.
