All,

Has anyone else experienced this? 2019 Ram 2500 PW with only 500 miles on the odometer, I have been getting intense shaking while driving on the highway at 70-80mph IF I hit any type of bump in the road. It’s so bad that the entire truck shakes uncontrollably and can last for a couple of secs up to a minute before it subsides, even if the road is smooth. I plan on calling Ram tomorrow to have it looked at, but I’m curious if anyone else has dealt with a similar issue. Literally driving me crazy and shouldn’t happen with a new truck.

Loose lug nuts or hopefully not worse. Like a suspension issue.
Did the salesman do a ride along when you test drove it?

I'd be thinking the tires need to be rebalanced or might be defective/out of round.

Thanks guys. I was thinking tire balancing may be the issue. Test drive was fine, but short. I’ll post the results of their diagnostic.

My 19 2500 seams like it oversteers a bit. It hasn’t done it violently but if I hit a bump at speed it feels like it is a little sensitive. What tire package?

Sounds like classic death wobble. Is everything bone stock?
