Is Anyone happy with their ‘19 Ram?

12500 miles. All good.

Little over 11k and very satisfied. Like everything about it, even the MPG. Getting over 18 for the total miles, but over 20 for the last 3k.

YUP, only issues are the 3 recalls. I have had 2 done, one pending. The only thing I would do over would be to get a slightly higher trim level, but I have no regrets. I got my Bighorn level 2 options for $12,500.....(Would think of getting all blacked out model if I live in a slightly cooler place than TX)

ADDED: Now, U not gonna tow like U can with the 2500. So if U tow real big, U need to stay with the 2500, the 1500 can do but U be maxing out for sure.

All above IMHO....

AC is tolerable, but suks

I currently have a ‘16 ram 2500 and really like this truck. I have had very few issues. I am thinking about getting a ‘19 Ram and have seen several posts about issues with the 19 model. Are their any 19 owners that are happy with their purchase?

I have a 2019 new body style ram bought last Aug. Has the 3.92 rearend and just put in a K&N cold air system. The only issue I've had was the stereo system. Have the 20 speakers and the large screen. Dealership where I have purchased from couldnt figured out the issue so I took to another dealership and everything is awesome and loud. Looking to install a performance exhaust system next.

I've enjoyed this truck more than any other one I've ever owned!

Yes, very happy, 2019 Limited. I will soon be at 37000 kms. Other than recalls I have the first warranty work being done shortly due to the clear coat coming off of one 20" rim.

Damn straight I DO!

Yes. Traded in a 2016 Big Horn for the 2019 Big Horn. There were the recalls - 3 - but there is seldom a vehicle to be found that doesn't have a recall notice for something. Ride and interior are much better that previous model years (this is my 5th Ram). The noise cancellation system goes out to La La Land every once in a while, but never when I'm at the dealer. Just creates a humming noise which is irritating, but shut down and restart and the issue is gone. My biggest complaint about the earlier models were the headlights, even replacing them with the brightest bulbs I could get, they never seemed bright enough. This one has the LED light package (a significant difference at night) and the Level 2 Equipment Group. The rotary shifter isn't an issue as some find it to be (especially if they're coming out of older models), the last one had it, and I have a 2015 Chrysler 200S with the same thing, so I'm used to it. The only real situation I encountered wasn't really an issue: it's a 5.7 Hemi E-Torque, so first driving it was a bit startling when it shut itself down and then restarted as soon as you released pressure on the brake pedal. After a couple of days you adapt to it, or if it really annoys you in stop and go traffic, use the dash button and shut the E-Torque off. Dual zone and rear air cool the truck sufficiently and I'm in central Florida. Or, remote start it with the air on, let it run for a few minutes, then get in it.

Since I finally fixed the a/c with no thanks to FCA, I can finally enjoy the rest of the vehicle. Love the feel and torque of the 5.7L and the smooth 8 speed transmission. It's quiet, smooth, with a nice entertainment system, and no high RPM turbo buzzing/drama while accelerating.

what was wrong with the a/c?

I have had my laramie since sept/18 and I really like it. It is much more fun to drive than the 2017 sierra slt 4x4 that I traded in and pulls my travel trailer much better. I did 2 trips to the mountains of new mexico and back in march it was a blast to drive on those twisty mountain roads. 4WD worked great and the suspension and downhill engine braking are nice. the hemi will really move it when you want. in the current texas heat wave the air-cooled seats are very nice to have. and the brakes are very good.

Appreciate all the replies!

Poor a/c output temperature. My output temps were down at least 12 degrees from normal. You can reference numerous threads on the other ram forum but in a nutshell FCA apparently changed the design. It's a hot/cold air blending issue. Some say the classic Ram had an electronic controlled water valve between water pump and the in-dash heater core whereas the current doesn't. The $15 hack is adding a valve control on the hot water output from the water pump. See the other ram forum for solution including part numbers.

I wondered about that. I have to have fan cranked 3/4 the way up for the air comin out of the vent to reach 40 degrees. My 15 Ram would blow 40 degrees on the 2nd setting of the fan. Thought it was just my truck.
Thanks!

40 degrees sounds way better than some people can achieve at all...I thought I heard some members saying they could barely get into the 40's, although I could be remembering wrong.

Wait until FCA works out all the "bugs". I'd say wait at least 1 model year. NEVER buy any new vehicle in it's first year that is a complete redesign, or completely new from the ground up

You guys that are having ac problems have you tried starting out in max ac. ATL is hot and this works great for me. In older vehicles the max ac shut off the heater hose and may do the same in our trucks. I put a manual valve in my previous cummins and it made a big difference. Sticking to the op question I've been to service for numerous pesky things. I would have waited a year but would have missed mopar lifetime. Now I have transport for life although it might be a loaner. Everyone is welcome for my beta testing for over a year.
