As it would seem to me, since 2021 isn’t here yet, there’s probably only very few 2021 models on the road right now that are still brand spanking new and even for the people with the 2020s, unless they’re just doing a **** load of driving on their trucks, it’s still too early to tell how reliable those systems are because if any of those has a problem within the first, I’d say 20 or so thousand miles, that is probably not going to be a reliability issue, that’s probably gonna be just something wrong with the air suspension for that specific vehicle.
My truck is an 18; if I remember correctly, my truck was born in October 2017 so technically, my truck is just a scosh over three years old and it’s yet to have a single problem with the air suspension. As far as whether or not if there’s any difference between my truck’s suspension and a 2019 model, a current 2020 model or the new 2021 model, I have no idea but like I said, mine has been wonderful. Granted, I only live in Oklahoma where yeah, it does get cold a little bit in the winter time but it’s not like up north where it gets really really really cold. But, I do have the humidity down here so if that plays a part in it, i’ve yet to see that.
But I would suggest that if you’re able to get into that high of a trim level truck that’s got air suspension, I would highly suggest you get as long of an extended warranty as you can because the one thing I can tell you that I am pretty damn sure hasn’t changed, is the fact that if any one of those air suspension components goes out or has to be replaced, it’s not going to be a cheap repair. That compressor is expensive, I’m sure those sensors that tell the ride height probably aren’t cheap, those tanks that store your nitrogen aren’t cheap and those airbags aren’t cheap either, especially your front ones because your front ones are an air-strut.
They’re basically like your typical coil over strut but instead of having a coil spring, you’ve got an airbag and whenever it comes time to replace your front struts, I guaran-damn-tee you that the only option is going to be to replace that whole complete strut assembly with factory parts; and the last time I checked on any one of those Mopar part sites, they’re about 1500 bucks apiece.
