The QC is a little bigger than an extended cab...

I don't like that the 545RFE is a POS transmission that fails so easily with anything much beyond stock power levels.

I just sold my '08, the thing I didn't like about it most was the dull grey interior.
Even the Laramie models had the dull grey interior with a couple of cheesy plastic wood trim pieces that looked completely of place.

It's a Megacab so the extra room inside the cab is nice but I really miss having an 8 ft box.

i lost count on my rams, i know my dad had 250k on his 05 and went through 4 sets of endlinks and only one set of ball joints, to me the endlinks should last just as long as your ball joints

Many I forgot about that people brought up lol. The dull grey interior, how the driver seat rips apart, and changing the plugs is a PITA.

All of them have inherent problems as any vehicle does, none of them are perfect. I love my Ram and still get a stiffie when I look at her.

oh they do, i dont think this thread is a "I hate my ram" kind of thing, the little problems dont mean nothing to me, ill fix them some way some how lol, but i Love my 3rd gens, and im always looking to add more to my fleet of trucks

I’m also guess with the truck being lifted and extra stress on them don’t help either

Really there not bad if they were in a tan truck but I think the card trucks should have dark interior to me it blends better I just hate how dirty it gets and so fast
