What DON'T you like about your RAM?

[TarPaper]

2 things...

1) The gear selector knob...several times i forgot to put the truck in park
2) The upgraded stereo blows the big one

What I don't like about my RAM:

1. Interior rattles. Had to track down and fix a ton of these. Way too many of these for a brand new vehicle. Some of these were a real PITA to eliminate.

2. The lack of paddle shifters. The + and - buttons are too small and poorly placed.

3. Sunroof rattles when fully open, an issue I'll be taking up with the dealer in the near future.

4. The headlights suck. Really projectors should be standard, and the bulbs they use from the factory are complete garbage.

5. The fact that the third brake light leaking has been an issue for years and they still haven't corrected it.

6. No Cabin Air Filter from the factory, yet there's a place for one. Defies logic.

Minor gripes. I love my Big Horn so far!

On the sunroof rattle...it's caused because the velcro that holds the headliner around the sunroof sucks and the headliner becomes unhooked. I had the exact same problem. Took it to the dealer and they replaced the entire headliner under warranty. I don't know if that will fix the problem long term but we'll see.

1. No telescoping steering wheel. Us short armed persons suffer.
2. No memory seats even with a loaded sport with leather
3. Headliner rattle around the sunroof. Whole headliner replaced under warranty, we'll see if it stays quiet.
4. No option to turn on backup camera unless in reverse.
5. The cruise message is annoying, haha
6. Wish there was a screen to show you radio info on 7" EVIC, especially when using navigation

Overall I love the truck. One of my favorite features is the shift knob. LOVE IT! No idea why people don't like it. It's an easy reach, plenty far from all other controls and way bigger so have never confused it with anything else. Way better than a dated console shifter, so much more room and feels way more modern. I wouldn't even consider buying a truck with a column shifter. That screams my mom's old woody station wagon. Not to mention it's location is the least easy reach and crazy annoying.

1. You can't get a Sport hood with luxury features (reverse tilt mirrors, memory seats, etc.).
2. All black headliner only on the limited.

I don't understand this. Sounds more like a memory problem than the gear selector? Lol

Cheap exhaust manifold bolts.

Rambox cargo management system is over engineered and way overpriced.

What I really don't like is that I didn't get a crewcab. I pick my kids up from school everyday and I regret getting the quad cab. Oh well.

Not sure what year your truck is, but my 2016 has the option to turn the backup camera on whenever I want.

im guilty of this myself, one thing to think about, 90% of us are programmed two ways, either a shifter on the steering wheel or a shifter on the floor, and i dont have one on the steering column then mentally i go into manual truck programming and in that case "park" isnt an option, my 08 is a manual and my 13 is an auto and neither have a column shifter so i have a brain fart when driving the 13 sometimes, ill even reach for the invisible shifter that isnt there lol

All black ram, but came with grey interior and headliner. Should have got a crew cab (next time). Did not get the limited slip or 3.92 gears. Up in the great white North, the limited slip would have been nice.

Interesting. I guess I'm just different. I've gone from sport car manual, to shifter automatic, to dial selector, to truck manual, to column shifter...all throughout my life, and never had any problem adapting. My first exposure to dial selector was when I got a rental. Instantly fell in love with it. Never understood why someone would waste so much space on those huge automatic shifters in the center console.

Crew Cab means I might take a few more trips when moving stuff (small bed), but the extra interior space is always a nice thing to have when I need it too.

I have a Rebel and it has the all black headliner and trim. I like it a lot better then the light gray my black 14 Sport had.

Wish my tradesmen had that. It has the back up camera in the rear view. But no feature to turn it on without reverse.

i just get in a mode and a habit, now that i jump from one to the other frequently i dont have an issue, but personally i hate the dial shifter, i prefer the one on the steering column

Shoddy aluminum drive shafts.

Me too. I dont get why people sya you are wasting so much space with the center console shifter. What they hell do you plan on putting in there?? Ridiculous statement.

 

[adrianp89]

I HATE the steering column. Everytime I pull in a truck with a lever on the column I think what a *************. If I wanted my truck to feel like it was built in 1994 I would have bought a Ford or Chevy. It gets in the way of crap and looks like ****. The knob and other things like it are the future - get used to it lol.

I put tons of stuff in my freed up space from it not being in the console. It perfectly holds a leftover size container for one.
