I absolutely hate mine with the exception of the
headlights, the big rear console, and the rear reclining seats. I traded in a '16 1500 crew cab sport 5.7 hemi on a '14 2500 Mega Cab diesel. The diesel couldn't stay on the road for more than a day or 2 without something breaking. I complained to the dealer and begged for my truck back. After multiple attempts of fixing the issues. The dealer didn't want to lose a sale, of course, so they got me into a '19 1500 crew cab laramie 5.7 hemi (we can discuss why I rushed into the '19 another day). I would absolutely take my '16 back every single day, and twice on Tuesday.
Almost 11,000 miles on the '19 and I still feel the same way. Here is a few reasons I dislike it in comparison to the '10, '13, and '16 I've had. Most notably the '16.
-Anytime I open the tailgate, I have to slam it, otherwise I get a notification on the dash that it is open, even when it is not. When it thinks the tailgate is open, the rear cargo light is always on. Even sometimes slamming it doesn't work and it has to be slammed multiple times. Speaking of the tailgate, it is now a button to open, rather than a latch, which probably contributes to the "open tailgate" message.
-A "Laramie" doesn't have bed lights, but the '16 sport did?
-Cargo light won't work unless a door or the tailgate is opened? '16 button allowed it to work at all times.
-Loved the sunroof in my sport, this laramie doesn't have one. (not really a Ram issue, just personal choice)
-Absolutely hate the tow mirrors, the sport had automatic folding mirrors, this laramie doesn't.
-Automatic high-beams shut off for every single f**k**g road sign, or porch light in rural Nebraska with no cars for miles!
-The automatic wipers have a mind of their own, dust will make them go high speed.
-Its a pain in the a*s hooking my boat up because I can't leave the door open while hooking up to it or the park brake locks and won't let me move until the door is shut, truck placed in park, and then back into gear.
-4-8 mpg hauling my boat, FOUR!
-Passenger cannot plug their phone in without it going to "CarPlay," same with one of the two ports in the rear. I do like the CarPlay feature for GPS though, the navigation built-in sucks around here.
-I always left my iPod in my '16 and connected. It didn't matter how long the truck was off, when I turned it back on, the iPod continued right where it left off, in this '19 I have to unplug it, and plug it back in every start of the truck, and it restarts the shuffle.
-Already have a belt squeak sound coming from the engine compartment somewhere when pickup is in gear.
-Brakes are already squealing.
-Paint quality is JUNK! I have not taken this truck on a gravel road once, and it has more rock chips on the factory
fender flares with factory tires than the '16 and '14 mega cab with off-road tires combined!
-I can't tell you how many times the front and rear parking sensors THINK they see something and the truck slams into park with the parking brake engaged, damn near giving me whiplash.
-The computer MPG is at least 1.5-3 MPG off of what I actually get. This truck has horrible gas mileage.
I'm sure there's more than this, and to some people these things may not be huge issues, but a lot of them are a big deal to me. The cheaper and better equipped sport was a much better pickup. We've reached the day where so many people buy these trucks for commuting, that they no longer make them for people who actually haul anything more than luggage. As soon as I don't have negative equity, or can find a good enough deal to make up for the negative equity, this thing is GONE!
