man that blows. my 2012 had basically zero issues.

I the water pump went bad at like 165,000 miles, and the TIPM fuel pump relay failed shortly after.

Aside from that, tires, fluids and brakes was all she ever asked for.

hoping my 2020 PW will be just as easy lol.

How did you have to do brakes at 25k?? This is my third 1500. The earliest i ever did front brakes was 55k and they weren't even that bad. My last Ram (2011) i did Front brakes at 64k (still had some life left) and the rear pads at 102k.
