"What DON'T you like about your 5th Gen RAM"?

[Timeless]

Loving everything so far...if I had to be picky I'd say the rear view mirror could have been a bit larger. Seems small for a truck.

I've seen where the AC is not as robust as other makes so I will know that come next summer.

As I have just purchased my 2020 on Black Friday, so far the only thing that comes to mind has been mentioned already, the lack of rear storage bins under the back seat. Picked up the 2020 Bighorn, not available in that trim but my 2013 Express (trade in) had it. Oh well, have seen that WeatherTech has rear storage bins for the 2020 for around 130.00, may go that route.

Crew cab vs Quad Cab. Mine is a Crew. Completely different in regards to anything behind the front seats.

Could be. But my QC '15 had both underseat bins and the fold flat floor and my QC '20 has neither. Really bugging me!

(I know, first world "problems")

I have a laramie and the tow mirrors are heated but manual fold..not sure if that is part of a pkg or not.

Pretty sure the tow mirrors are manual fold only. Which is why I didn't order the "tow package", just the trailer brake.

I didn’t look at any QC’s so...yeah not having any under seat storage is not OK. My “03” had fold out deck and under seat storage. The great thing was the fold out deck was solid steel.

Interesting... I have the "North" package on my truck, which includes stuff like a block heater and other cold weather stuff. I remember the write up for the North package said it had heated mirrors, but maybe my tow package negated them.

The fact that I have to have the truck in "run" to use the blinkers. Also would be nice if I could set the aux switch on work with highbeams. Kinda a short reach for my shortness for the lightbar.

I think that ram should build a tuffer retractable air dam. hitting a rabbit cost me almost 500.00. I noticed others with the new 2019 retractable air dams are having the same problems with small critters.

My only complaint with the Ram is the payload. I wish they would bump it up a few hundred more lbs....I know that gets it closer to a 3/4 ton truck, but it should at least be an option for the towing package. Other than this, my truck has been great.

Im driving a 2019 2500 Laramie sport
what I dont like is
the huge case around my rear view mirror
the blind spots on the front sides of the windshield
the fact that everyone stares at it and wants to ask me questions LOL
and the front air dam is ugly and to low so I cut it off

I dont like the coil rear springs, wish it had leaf springs. Also not a fan of the projector headlights.

Towing package does not come with heated mirrors

No CD player.

Missed that during the buying phase, not sure if it would have made a difference. But sometimes the radio or SeriousXM just don't cut it.

What model did you get? I'm pretty sure most that I looked at had a CD player. I don't remember seeing it as an optional feature at any point either. It is hidden underneath the climate controls and trailer brake controller on the 5th gens. The 4th gens rarely had a CD player.

How bout the fact that I am not able to sell mine.. Nothing wrong with truck by all means. Problem I have is that it's just to big for what I am needing and is not being put to it's full potential.

I would like to see some sort of warning that I’ve left my opening rear window open when leaving the truck. Know I’m gonna leave it open someday and a monsoon will hit.

Just traded in my 2010 F150 Lariat and leased a 2019 big horn crew cab What I dont like compared to the F150 that I'll have to get used to.
*Truck not as wide as my f150 I had
*smaller bed
*bed not as deep
*inside not as big as the f150
*smaller wheels 18" and not the 20's I had.
*ram sits lower than my f150.

It's a very beautiful truck but feels less of a truck compared to what I had.

I am deciding between buying a F150 and Dodge Ram at this point. Why did you go with the RAM? Consumer reports gives 1/5 for reliability on the F150, did you have reliability issues?

Is that on a 5th Gen? 4th Gen were terrible, but everything I've heard about the 5th Gen (which are LED) is that they are fantastic. My LED reflectors rate about an 8/10.

Mine came with it as part of some package but I wouldn't have paid for it. Between USB (can use a flash drive or CarPlay) and BT (virtually anything that makes noise on your phone) you have lots of options.

That would be nice!

I'm still in the market for buying a RAM. Hopefully soon. But, I've compared the GM trucks, and here's where I'd like to see RAM upgrade their offering.

- A H.U.D. Having info on the road in front of you is just awesome.
- The cameras. Silverado's best camera system just blows everyone away. Especially that rear-view mirror camera thing. RAM 360 cameras are nice, but you just have to see the Silverado to see where RAM didn't quite out do GM in regards to the cameras.

With trucks getting bigger and bigger, that camera thing would be my biggest want. Though RAM seems to do everything else about the two trucks much better. RAM hands down, but not quite perfect.
