1st time RAM owner and I absolutely love it. Only complaint I have is paint quality. Other than that it's a tank. I just wish I would've got 4wd and the 6'4" box.

Sorry to hear you're not having a good experience with your new truck. My truck is smooth as silk going down the highway all way up to 85+ and I'm sure others will verify so something is definitely wrong. Like mentioned, demand they check out the driveshaft, and I would say have them roadforce balance the tires. Sounds like your dealer isn't the best...2016 Ram RCSB 4X4 Brilliant Black. NOT Impressed!!!
Day 1, while driving home with new truck with only 40 miles on odometer, on I70 60mph and up. Truck Vibrates badly.. Passenger seat, and console shakes badly. Now have about 3k miles on it. So Far, Dealer has done Nothing. Day 1, had dash rattle, Dealer did nothing, I did get the rattle fixed myself. Also Passenger door has terrible wind noise, Dealer has done nothing. I've taken truck to two different tire shops, and still vibrates at highway speeds. Yes, I regret buying the Ram, but it was bought with a large discount off MSRP.
If anybody else has a 4th gen ram with highway speed vibrations, please let me know how and if you've fixed it... Thanks...
Some folks have noted the Tq values of the lug nuts being drastically off , both high & low from the factory .2016 Ram RCSB 4X4 Brilliant Black. NOT Impressed!!!

I feel the same , only difference is I plan on 200 + not 120.....2014 with 40,000 miles. Good so far. I am having my cab top molding and front door hinges (rusty) changed under warranty. But no major issues and no rattles/squeaks.
I don't think I will get the long term reliability I have gotten out of 3 Toyotas but I do plan to keep it 2-3 more years.
Love the interior, Hemi, 8 speed, heated wheel, and the look.
So far I give the truck an 8.
I give the dealers a 3. Terrible.
If it is trouble free to 120,000 miles I will give it a 9.5 and buy another one.

Man I Love your truck ....5.7L , 8sp xsmn 4x4 with 392 differentials! This is a rare breed for sure ! Mainly 8 speed / 392 diffs.I had a 2011 1500 Outdoorsman 4x4 5 speed, 3.92. Great vehicle. Good fuel economy for a truck. Awesome power. Looked amazing with the two tone grey on silver. Wish I never sold it, as it would've saved a lot of money...
But... Just got into a 2016 Outdoorsman Hemi 4x4 8 speed 3.92 on Saturday! I'm going to miss the Jeep with the top off, and below 45 miles per hour, but we needed more space. Love the tech and trans so far over the 11. And I imagine mpgs will be at least comparable or better once I'm past initial break in and get a few Ks on it. Wish I could've found a full front bench; I was able to stretch my legs a bit more. Also getting used to the rotary shift as I grabbed the volume once lol.
It's filthy atm, but the black forest green pearl coat is awesome too! It's like a chameleon, depending on the angle, from black to green. Will try to add a picture later.

You could easily run 35" tires and get 19-20 mpg if you can keep your right foot out of it
I have the 6speed and 355 differentials , it's not terrible but I'd sure like the 8sp/392s
Envy is what I have !
