HIGH MILEAGE 2019 Ram 1500 Owner's Review - Part 3 (Questions and Answers) | Truck Central

[@TruckCentral]

*Post your Ram questions and comments below.* We'll definitely revisit this truck again and do another Q&A!

[@Alani0203]

So at the end of the day and you had to do it all over, would you purchase another RAM? Im thinking about purchasing one again(my 3rd)?

[@Alani0203]

@Preston Dominik thank you 😊

[@Ron-fq2sn]

Would you recommend this truck ? Coz I’m getting one when i retire next year .

[@naruto12724]

I got issues with the coolant leaking, just took to the dealer and they replaced the water pump. Is that normal

[@donchin106]

guess I'm lucky I have 129000 on a 2017 Laramie with no AC issues, I did replace the Shocks and struts at 100,000 miles just because as well as the plugs. i also replaced the exhaust bolts at 86,000 miles as one was broken. all in all a great truck!

[@scottbet4504]

Thanks for taking the time out with these videos. With the cost of these trucks its good to see how they hold up and you obviously use yours. Have you had to deal with any rock salt since you have had it? That stuff kills the underside. Good luck 👍

[@MrJustinWheeler]

I appreciate the positive feedback! In the areas I spend most of my time, sand is more common than salt to treat winter roads. So luckily, the undercarriage still looks really good!

[@Hundert1]

Good comment, thanks 👍🏼

[@mariolegy9237]

The best part of my ram that I love so much is mirror tilt while going in reverse, is very help full, that feature killed it😎

[@brianlumb7656]

You should have the air suspension in normal mode, place the truck in jack mode, lower the trailer on to your hitch, connect the ball, raise the trailer using the trailer jack, connect the WD bars, lower the trailer jack, then drive the trailer away. I had the JGC with the air suspension and used the same process. The air suspension should never be used to raise or lower the trailer. You can check with FCA on this but I'm sure it is written in the manual. Looking forward to towing my trailer with my new 2020 1500 Limited EcoDiesel.

[@DadaIorian]

You’ve probably heard this by now, but for others, what I read elsewhere is that you need to have “Bed Utility Group” on the window sticker as an equipment option to get the bed divider/tailgate extension.

[@deeg5466]

I was a valet driver and I remember driving a RAM 2500 that had that sound when I steer the wheel, I thought it was normal. I remember because I fell in love with that ram

[@wd8786]

I have 78,000 miles on my 2013 Ram 1500 Laramie. My air bags have been great.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Thats great! Never had to service them at all? I just rolled 79K last week and so far so good for me. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelstringer1840]

I have a 2020 big horn with a 3.0 and 3.92 rear end. As far as towing goes it's great and it still has pretty good fuel economy. I've done the same steering repair that you did. Personally I didnt want the air suspension so I went with out it same with the sun roof. As for the leaking sun roofs. I'm a mechanic and I found on other vehicles it's one of two things. The sun roof drains getting clogged or the gasket going bad. Majority of the time it's the drains. I usually suggest to people to get a snake (same tool to unclog toilets/pipes) and just run it through all 4 holes in the sun roof. It is possible for bugs to crawl in there and get stuck and die in these drains. My complaint but I knew it when I got the truck is that I cant have a 33 gallon tank in my current configuration (quad cab with a 6' bed).

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Good to know! I will check out my sunroof drains and try to stay ahead of that problem. The 33 gallon tank is glorious. It feels great filling up and see 500+ miles to empty. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelstringer1840]

@@MrJustinWheeler it's just something I've noticed on other vehicle I'm pretty sure ram would follow the trend of other manufacturers in regards to the drains. I normally work on fords and toyotas. They normally are at the corners of the sunroof. I have a few guys who come in like at the end of summer and end of winter just to stay ahead of it as well. Yeah I figured that would be nice. No problem i was just curious about other problems that I may come across. Mine only has 10k on it now.

[@lauderdalechad]

I had a 17 Ram 1500 limited with air ride and only had 1 issue with it. Had a 2 day stretch of - 25F weather and compressor must have ran too hard trying to maintain air in the system and blew a fuse. Other than that it was flawless and it was one of my favorite things about that truck

[@Andi-xe8qo]

I have 2020 Ram 1500 Big Horn 4x4. I have the A/C problem,too. Sad part is Dodge Caravan A/C has 100% better A/C ( is a work van). What I miss is push a button on the door handle to open the door. My mistake was I bought a quad cab instead of crew cab due to big hump on passenger side, my husband is 6’2 feet tall. I love this truck is a lot smoother as my 2017 Nissan Titan SV 4x2.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Interesting. At least the van can keep up with the high temps. Thanks for watching!

I had a 2016 1500 Limited, with 3.21 gearing, and I traded it in at 167K. Never had any issues with the truck at all, other than usual wear items. I now have a 2019 Limited, and I have 56k on it now. So far the only issue was the dash delaminating. FCA replaced it. No issues as of yet. I have the 3.92 gears, it doesn’t get the fuel mileage I would like, but the pulling power is a lot better. I do like the 2019, a lot better than the 2016, but I would not hesitate on a gen 4 with air ride again.

Whenever you buy any car with 'extras' like air ride, adjustable suspensions or active shutters you ALWAYS get the extended warranty. It pays for itself hand over fist if you keep your car over 3 years.

[@TheNewenglandboys]

When I bought my truck in March, they wanted $3700.00 for the extended 5 year warranty. The truck already comes with a 3 year bumper to bumper warranty. So that $3700.00 was just for the last two years of that 5 year warranty. I saved the $3700.00 and IF I have an issue, that $3700.00 will go toward the repair rather than gambling it on "I might have an issue"

[@TheNewenglandboys]

Bought my truck in March. They wanted $3700.00 for a "5 year warranty" that starts on day one of purchase. The truck already comes with 3 year bumper to bumper so that $3700 is just for the last 2 years of that supposed "5 year warranty". I kept my $3700. If I have an issue, I've still got my $3700 to fix it. If not, I'll keep my money! And if I have an issue after that 5 year period, I've still got the money for the repair that the 5 year warranty wouldn't pay for!

[@Dragandspinn]

Finally someone talks about the gearing. I had no idea until I got a 2021. My 2019 averaged a honest 18.5 mpg in a normal work week. It would also hum along at around 1800 rpm going 68-70 mph. I now have a Rebel with the "off road " package. With caution I can only get 16.3 mpg. My usual average is 15.8 The engine is also turning a tick over 2000 rpm at the same 68-70 mph. Lastly my 19 Rebel is 430 lbs lighter ( no Ram boxes spray liner) but still thats a lot. Love my truck however.

[@cgatesgates6631]

What gears do you have in your 19?

[@Dragandspinn]

@@cgatesgates6631 IDK exactly, but since there are only 2 ratios Id say the taller of the 2 because of the lower rpm on the highway. The 21 is a bit snappier because of the shorter gearing. It makes passing easier without much effort. Honestly I like 21 Rebel better because it has more niceties so to speak. But my19 felt lighter on its feet (because it was lighter) and got much better gas mileage. Again maybe its the off road package.

Great video. I have a 2019 ram 1500 midnight edition. Overall I really love the truck but you are right about the A/C. It just doesn't blow as cold as other trucks I have had. The only other issue I have had is my front sway bar end link on the passenger side had to be replaced at about 8000 miles. I think the driver side is starting to go now. I live in the north east and in the summer I get about 15 mpg and 12 to 13 in the winter. I also have the 3.21 ratio. I think that's the number you said but I know it's not the higher ratio. Thanks for the video!

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Thanks for watching! What was wrong with your sway bar? And why do you think the driver side it going out? Making noises? Would like to know what to look out for.

Careful towing heavy with that 3.21 rear axle ratio. That setup is only rated at about 7,500 or 8,000 lbs. Im not saying you "can't" tow over that, but you may be causing excessive wear to a whole lotta parts. The 3.21 isn't for heavy towing, it's for better mpgs. Special thanks to cafe standards for that.

[@derisotre]

The Rambox divider but they never installed the bolts by the tailgate for the extended configuration. They say I have to buy that separately on my own after market which I thought was included with the purchase. I also tried loading the bed with a lot of things and the air suspension won’t lift the truck anymore. Question for you is how does your rear wheel fender look like? Just below the rambox. The part facing front, as it sticks out a bit. It’s just below the rear part of the side chrome lining. I have lots of chip damage there for some reason and I done even go off-roading that much. Just regular highway and it seem to get hit with rock salt pebbles a lot. I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Limited

[@MrJustinWheeler]

I have a lot of rock chips on the front bumper, but nothing anywhere else. And I do A LOT of high speed gravel road driving. What kind of tires are you running?

[@derisotre]

@@MrJustinWheeler Bridgestone that came with the 20” Standard rims. I’m thinking maybe it’s the folding steps that gets out of the way so it’s not preventing rocks from hitting the rear wheel fender. Mine has a lot on both sides now mostly on the lower parts of it. Wish I can show you some images.

Also does the bigger touch screen allow you to change what's on the bottom half or does it always stay on the climate control and seat settings

You didn't have the BUG (Bed Utility Group). I had the Bed Utility Group (as well as the Rambox), and got the divider. I've heard from some people (and on the 5th gen forum) that the order the dealer added the BUG and Ramboxes plays a factor as well. The story goes (I can't confirm this one way or the other though) that if the dealer added the ramboxes first, then the BUG, it includes the divider and if they did BUG first, then Rambox, it does (or may) not. All I can tell you for certain though, is that I had both Rambox and BUG, and got the divider (I'm unsure what order the dealer did 'em in, for my truck).

Air ride is a noticeable improvement. I had a 2019 without air ride and my 2020 with air is a noticeable improvement - just getting in-out and ability to raise/lower when using the hitch is worth it to me. It's only a $1800 option, so one of the best value-for-money options available (other than perhaps the $200 additional for the eTorque engine)

2019 ALL RAM Trucks 1500, 2500 & 3500 with RAM boxes did not included the divider this was a change from 2018 I found this out because I took delivery of my 19 and there was no divider so of course I went back to my sales lady (that I have bought 3 trucks from) during our investigation into this issue we found out RAM stopped including the divider in 2019....

On mine it has a option for ram box and another option is the bed utility group. Now on the 2021 when you use the online configuration tool and you add the ram box the graphic changes to show the ram boxes but no divider. When you select the bed utility group the divider appears in the bed of the truck. Not sure about the 19.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Thanks for sharing. So your window sticker has two separate line items? Anything specific about “cargo management” like mine?

[@kevinl1608]

@@MrJustinWheeler yes it has the same language of ram box cargo management system. I think the bed utility group gives the movable tie downs and the divider. Just my thought,

[@MrJustinWheeler]

@@kevinl1608 That's a good point. But I DO have the moveable tie downs and track. Just not the bed divider! Lol

Got 2019 big horn and i do 15 to 16 in city interstate i can get max 20mpg depending on if in mountains. Flat terrain i get 25 with no hills

[@ericmings]

I have a 2020 ram 1500 5.7L Hemi with the 3.21 gear ratio I'm getting 16.5 mpg so 16 seems to be about average

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Yeah, sometimes I’ll see swings as high as 18, but it’s never consistent.

[@Hundert1]

Do you use a magnetic oil drain plug?

[@MrJustinWheeler]

No sir. As much as I hate to admit it, I do not change the oil in the truck myself. I spend so much time on the road, whenever I get a day back home, I drop it off for service and let someone else mess with it. Lol. Thanks for watching!

[@westy125]

I’ve heard you need to do an ac recharge and it should do good that’s why my friend did to his and it worked

[@chrisrob722]

Of course that will work temporarily but that will not fix the problem. This is a bigger deeper issue that will never get resolved because Chrysler would have resolved it by now. What a joke

[@jorangel87]

@@chrisrob722 go watch some Ford or Chevy videos. Stop hating on ram.

[@fatalglitch]

Rambox comes with the bed divider. In earlier 2019's they also had the pins by the tailgate to use it as a bed extender as well, but they stopped that around mid 2019. You can still buy the parts and install yourself

[@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb]

2020-21 don't come with bed divider if you have the Rambox. Have to add the Bed Utility Group.

[@Rippinsmallies]

I'm loven my 2020 ram. Like gas in the city but I'm good.

[@TazChham]

In the market for a truck, love the Ram looks and features but worry about the longevity. Anyone has driven a newer Ram 1500 past 100k? Was there any major repair, engine, drive trains, etc.

[@TruckCentral]

This entire series is literally about a 2019 Ram with 100k miles on it

Air ride is scary shit. No air ride works and once they start giving issues its back to back. On my navigator after a few years it was the front. Then the rear. Then all. Until I got sick of it and swapped it on springs

[@allanj4576]

Most commercial trucks are air ride traveling a couple hundred thousand miles a year carrying thousands of pounds with very few issues. I wonder what's different with passenger vehicles.

[@MLProductions.1]

@@allanj4576 cheap built. Look at Lexus air suspension. They last as long as the car does. No other passengers car will.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Yes sir, I agree with you. I suspect it is just a matter of time before I have issues with this air ride. But so far, so good. When you replaced the air ride in your navigator, were you able to direct swap factory spring equipment? Or did you have to get something custom to interchange with the air suspension mounting brackets?

[@MLProductions.1]

@@MrJustinWheeler it was a direct swap kit. There's no stock navigators with springs as far as I know. And I think the 07 had different suspension them the expedition at the time. But it was a factory replacement kit

[@Ck-ed9qy]

Ok so here’s the deal...I have a 2019 just like yours, sans air ride. It has been the biggest piece of crap vehicle I’ve owned yet...and I’ve had Fords! While you covered the air conditioning issues and sunroof leak...you failed to mention a huge issue for those of us that actually drive this truck in truck-intended conditions...i.e. dirt and gravel roads. The amount of dust that fills the cab while driving down gravel roads is simply insane. It hangs in the air and you can taste it! It has nothing to do with recirc on the hvac system but rather Dodge’s shit design of the rear cab-wall vents. This is a complete deal breaker as I primarily drive gravel roads...and dealer won’t acknowledge the problem and has no suggestions to remedy. I’m also not alone on this...other people are experiencing it, even pre-2019 models. Going back to Toyota. My Tundra delivered 270k miles of completely trouble free service. Fluids/tires/one set of brake pads/one battery. #ramremorse

[@MrJustinWheeler]

I hate to hear that. I too spend a significant amount of time on dirt and gravel roads. I have not experienced any water leaks or dirt/debris entering my cab (unless I open my doors or windows). Possible you just got a bad batch of gaskets and seals? Have you talked to the dealer? Thanks for watching. I hope your luck improves.

@@greglander5509 sounds like the same issue I had. I took it in 3 times before they could “find” the problem. Could definitely be the steering nut.
