4th Gen. "dislikes"?

What are some of the least things you like about your 4th generation Ram? (This isn't a knock on the truck at all. I LOVE my Ram and this is my second brand new Ram in 10 years.)
I guess I'll go first.
I don't really like the windshield washer nozzles on the hood. I like the way they were on my 3rd gen Daytona. The other thing I'm not too crazy about is the way the MDS comes on/engages. Don't like the "drone" I guess you call it. These aren't real issues for me, just wanted to see what others have to share.

Not a dislike but more of a why not? The tailgate should be soft opening from the factory. The Tail gate assist is a great addition for $25 but I think in 2016 it should be installed on the assembly line.

Don't have many complaints about it but these are the top two: the third brake light leak, I know most 3rd brake lights leak but nothing leaks as bad as these (fixed it with a quick trip to Home Depot). The squeaky rambox lids rank up there also. Other than those love the performance of the truck compared to my 3rd Gen just wish they still had leaf springs though.

I wish Dodge/Ram was a bit more aftermarket friendly

Dislikes:

oem projectors are not real HID's. They suck

No tailgate assist..... hate gates that slam down.

Too many rams on the road. I love mine, but dont feel that special since i see the rams everywhere now :)

CTD
While I really like my truck there are a few things I don't like:
1) The white stuff that keeps forming on the hood liner, even on the second one.
2) No audio controls. Forgot to ask when buying. Fixed with a leather wheel from LKQ.
3) The weird spoiler on the tailgate that catches water. No big deal-I expect to replace it with a 5th wheel gate at some point.
That's it. Much nicer than my '01.5 CTD dually, my former favorite truck.

Oil filter location and not having a cabin filter from factory. I've done the mod and a world of difference in air quality. Eventually will add a separate filter receiver, but ok for now.

My biggest gripe is no manual transmission behind the hemi in hd trucks. I loved my '06 2500 that had a G56 behind the 5.7L. I had to sell it and get something with 2 more doors to fit carseats or else I'd still have it.

edit: a cabin air filter would be nice too as stated already!

The slight clunk I hear/ feel when coming to a stop sometimes. I think it is the tranny going into neutral or whatever.
There's a TSB/flash for that.
