I dislike the fact that on the 5.0 radio when you use the volume control the screen becomes useless for 3 seconds while the volume display pops up. Like why does it have to be so intrusive?
The whip antenna is a joke, we have a GPS/SXM antenna on the roof.. they couldn't put an AM/FM Antenna in there too?
Like someone else said, the spray nozzles on the hood are ugly, and if you have a white or silver truck it stains the hood.
The brake pedal is 2 inches higher than the gas pedal, and its too far apart from the gas.. it took me so long to get used to this. When I drive with boots I used to always miss the pedal, you can't just slide your foot over like you can in a car you have to pick your foot up which delays brake time.
MDS. this needs to go. Period. Its stupid, it makes most people hate this truck and look else where. FCA if your reading this you need to do away with MDS on ALL models.. I recently worked with a guy who sold his brand new Long Horn with less than 2k miles on it. He took a hit on the truck because he hated it so much. He went back to Ford.. Way to go RAM..
Rants more than dislikes:
The "HEMI".. we get it.. it was a great marketing tool... in 2004... This motor has its issues, we all know. but we need to stop reinventing old school tech and make a new motor. Look at Fords new line up there is more technology in the Coyote motor then our whole truck. Come on, get over it its time to move on..
Lastly I HATE the new "its not a Dodge" image.. we get it FCA.. Ram is its own thing now.. Except one thing - it's not... Its still FCA, its still Crysler, its still DODGE! You can't come in and separate everything like they are different companies. This is an American brand, here in the states people are brand loyal and like to know that the roots of where something came from are unmolested along the way. The current generation RAM is a Dodge, and people like that. No matter what you do to the outside of the truck its a Dodge, and people will forever know it as such. Putting "RAM" all over it and taking away the cross hair grill is doing nothing but making people worry about what the Italians are going to do with this truck on the next Generation. the Ram 1500 is falling behind now, it doesn't need a facelift, it needs an overhaul and a good one at that. But, you cant take away the Dodgeness, and the toughness of this truck by making it refined and elegant on the next reup. you need to go back to the roots of the Dodge Ram and make a truck that will kick the ass of Chevy and Ford.
I will say I love this truck tho. I would not change anything about it. i just fear for the next Generation and what could become of this brand. I love Dodge I dont want it to become something it should not be because of a buy out..
