Absolutely beautiful truck ( other members truck)

RIP. to this design

This current gen could very well be the last traditional good looking Ram truck we ever see. They should have approached the Ram just like they did the Wrangler. It has become a classic look that should not be changed. I always heard the big wigs at FCA say how proud they were of the Ram design and how much they loved the styling... so who the F decided to castrate the thing lol.

I finally found something I don't like......the fact that I have to remember to close the rear square window lol. I returned to my truck today and saw that I forgot for like the 4th time.

While this sounds stupid, the funny thing is that my apartment complex has a lot of cats around, they chill out and walk on everyone's rides lol it's kinda funny. I just don't want one of these cats to get into my interior and chew **** up lol. At least they keep mice and bugs away. Just last week an old man in a crown victoria was driving away and a cat was casually walking on the roof! Almost pissed myself lol.

I hate that I can't get that antenna nut off so I can replace my weather worn black antenna base.

I had to tighten it in my 2008. You have to remove the wheel well liner and reach from underneath.

You actually can get them off but its a PITA. and then you just have the same wheel that comes on the Express.

I'm kind of of confused about the not being able to turn the radio off. On my truck the volume knob can be pushed and it will mute. Then there is also the "screen off" button to turn off the display.

Except the display doesn't turn on off. The screen goes black, but the back light is still on.

Lol those cats would disappear pretty fast if they were walking on my truck.

Haha I literally have paw prints all over my truck, here we get a coating of dust on our cars/trucks even if you just washed it.

I’ve not owned it but a couple of days but I dislike that it didn’t come with a backup camera and I don’t like the headlights or I should say lack of headlights.
Are you in the U.S? I heard that back up cams were mandatory on vehicles sold in the U.S. I heard wrong ?

Im going to the auto show just for this truck.

But iv seen 3 different “versions” of the 2019 RAM 1500 and this (white one) is the only one i like but i think its not the right one. I think the right one is this maroon colored one that has the cover “blown off by the wind”

Looks not so good
If the new design is going to be the truck to the right, I dig it. Terrible colour, but that in black or grey or any one of the special edition colours would be awesome. I say it only gets better from here. There body lines are nice, if guys are bent out of shape over lights and grills, that's always an easy fix. I bet the interior is gonna be bangin'

A list of what I do like would’ve been shorter.

I don’t like:

That the doors squeak and groan no matter how many times I grease them.
The leaking brake light, and the stained headliner that came with it.
That no hot air comes out of the drivers side vents.
The occasional fast blinker when no lights are out.
The airbag light that likes to randomly appear to drive me crazy.
The fact that every time I stop it sounds like somebody threw an extension ladder off a roof.
The impossible to use CD player under the seat.
The dash board draw that rattles uncontrollably when open.
The side step that broke because I stepped on it.
The fact that all these problems exist on a well cared for 40,000 mike truck.
The fact that my jeep will soon be bunk mates with a Chevy.

I like:

The hemi
The style.
That’s all I got.

$40,000.00 and no back up cam for the Bighorn ? Hate the knob shifter and the truck sits too low. Had the thing lifted 6 inches to clear snow drifts. The biggest gripe of all is the 36,000 mile warranty they have. For what we pay for these overteched things, it should go to 100,000 miles

I would like the 8.4 display to be turned slightly towards the driver's side just like it is in my 2016 Charger Scat Pack. Frequently, the light reflections make it very hard to see during the day without leaning to the right.

The back seat is very hard to access. Oh wait, my truck is a regular cab.

Soon with the way things are going we’re all gonna be driving Chinese cars. The North American car manufactures will go the same way all the other manufacturing went. Overseas.

Reading all the these things and especially when people emphasize the prices they pay eventually price won’t reflect quality and when that happens people will gravitate towards cheap.
