Just turned over 28,440 miles on my 2016 Ram Crew Sport. No major issues , though the 2nd time I used the windshield wipers, the wiper motor quit. Got a loaned car for the rainy weekend. I have taken several trips to Las Vegas from SoCal. I averaged between 24-26 mpg each way. I am very happy with the mileage. Added locks to my under floor compartments, tailgate snubber, running board steps and a few other items as well. I really like the new style of the RAM, but I have an incredible factory warranty that was offered for a VERY short time. So I plan on keepiong this Truck a very long time! :-)

[@Alborn30]

My mom has the same 2019 ram 1500, Appearance package lighting everything it's really nice, And our Ram came with the adapter needed to fix the issue you were having. And another nice thing is the Ram boxes, A lot dealerships didn't get the Rams with the Ram boxes but my mom got her Ram with them, They are really nice and convenient just like the Ram bins.

[@jeremyjenkins9859]

Ive heard some ppl saying dodge has reliability issues. Ive had 2 Rams and 2 V8 Dakota's. Other than a starter on my ram I've never had one problem. That truck had 312 thousand miles on it when I sold it.

I basically have the same truck minus the etorque, but add 3.92 gears. Best truck I’ve owned so far and I’ve had Ford and GMC previously. I have 8,300 miles with no issues other than Apple CarPlay doesn’t always load immediately which isn’t often, but I unplug it and replug it back in. It’s happened like 5 times. I keep track of my mileage on a spreadsheet and have averaged 17.6 overall which includes a trip to Florida and several trips hauling the boat. The dash reading shows 18.5 or 19 so a little off and I’ve never reset it on trip B. Trip A I reset each tank. 12-13 towing and 18-21 commuting. For your towing receptacle issue, I’d get a seven pin conversion to four pin. It would then be in the bottom socket.

[@rcmckonly8]

[@LockonStratos21]

I'm in FL too and my car has the same feature. However, fortunately, BMW is smart enough to know that if the AC is on and is set to high, then engine auto shut off should be off.

The 2019 Ram has a similar limitation and will prevent Stop/Start if such a condition is met. But if you're trying to cool yourself off with the temperature set to 71° and fan speed set to 3, you're gonna get frustrated.

If you go to a parts store you can buy a 7 pin to 4 pin trailer plug in adapter for around 10 dollars and use the bottom trailer plug in and eliminate your problem

[@ronwinkles2601]

I shopped long and hard for a full-sized 2019 pickup with price, features and mileage being the main drivers. I looked primarily at Toyota, Ford, GMC and Ram. Some things I wanted were a V-8 engine, a bench seat and a limited slip rear end with 4-Wheel Drive and two-tone paint. This combination of options because of the six passenger configuration force me to accept a mid-class model in all brands except the Ram. The Ram offered the upgrade of leather interior while the others only offered cloth. Long story short, I bought a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Crew Car 4 X 4 with everything I wanted and more options than I will ever use. It listed for $57,125, and bought it for $45,000 out the door plus tags, tax and title. None of the other models remotely came close with an all cash, no trade offer to buy. I have now had the Ram for six months with 2700 miles on it, and its combined mpg for 2700 miles is 20.1 mpg. I live in the East Tennessee hills and I have made a round trips to Kokomo, Indiana and Baltimore, Maryland. Show me a Ford, GMC or Toyota with a 395 hp engine That can get that mileage, and I will gladly admit I made a mistake. I do not solicit comments from anyone, but people voluntarily say to me, "What a beautiful truck."

[@rcmckonly8]

Yep same here!!

[@kellyfontes7757]

a bench seat - is so hard to get in a decent trim in the Toyota and GMC.

How did you get such a good deal?

[@rcmckonly8]

Travis Lewis I pretty much got the same deal too. My truck was stickers at 52,000 and we got it around 45,000. Just got it at the right time of year with good factory incentives. We also traded in my tundra and our car and got the truck and another car.

[@BlountForce]

Hey considering those two things are you only real complaints about the truck, that's not bad at all.. I love my 19 ram 1500 laramie. Only issue I have is the gas mileage sucks big time but I don't really care too much anyway. My truck is 4x4 with the 3.92 ratio on the gearing (or something like that) so I only get around 13mpg around town. But it sure does tow good and can't get stuck in anything lol.. I love it!

[@bigdawgsrm70]

You can avoid the rubbing of the trailer plug cover on the tailgate by getting an adaptor for the larger plug in, that way you have to lift the bottom cover up to plug in the wire harness.

[@toml7775]

Hey RC, I liked the video and subscribed. I'm on my 2nd RAM 1500 leased, 2017 and now the 2019. In addition to your list of likes/dislikes I just wanted to add I loved both trucks and had zero problems with the 2016. The 2019 had to have the gas tank replaced because of 'known' tripping the pump release during gas filling (covered by dealer). The front parking sensors stopped working and show service needed. Dealer says a rock must have hit front sensor and caused it to fail. (not covered by warranty) and will cost $700. to replace that 1 sensor. crazy to think every time a rock hits the bumper, may cost me that to restore this feature. The sensors are a great and necessary feature but they need to make them easier to replace then. These 2019 sensors list for $210. on the web. Just FYI to every one. Love everything else.

[@cheerm2915]

Have the same problem too! It keeps on tripping when I fill the gas hopefully, the dealer will replace and fix it.

[@meatball1080]

Get a 7 pin to 4 pin connector for the trailer light hook up, problem solved. Will not hit the tailgate. As for the reliability, I have 89,000 on my 2019 and only had 1 issue. The fuel gauge stopped working at around 45,000. Fixed under warranty. It's been a great truck for me. Nice review and nicer truck!

[@spinedoc893]

As far as reliability..... I'm not a 'RAM boy' either. I do have a 2013 RAM 1500 sport 5.7L with the ZF 8sp trans which is the only FCA product I've owned and if I am being honest I only bought it because my buddy is an FCA employee and he was able to give me his employee discount which made it too good to pass up. My truck has 215,000 km (135,000 miles, sorry I'm in Canada lol) and it has been fabulous! Aside from regular maintenance the only things I've had to replace are one front hub, the u-joint on the end of the steering shaft and a fuel pressure sensor. That's it and I live in Muskoka (Cottage country 2 hrs north of Toronto) where the roads are twisty and bumpy and the winters are severe so I am VERY impressed with the reliability of this truck. I will admit that some of the maintenance stuff is a bit pricey . Things like spark plugs which are $600 cdn to replace (there are 16 of them) and their recommended interval of 48,000 km (30000 miles) is a bit ridiculous. I've only done mine once and it runs fine. Fluids for this truck, coolant, gear lube transfer case oil are way more expensive than an other vehicles I've owned but thats probably true of most late model vehicles now. I will say as much as the ZF 8sp is a great transmission and works wonderfully a fluid change is $1000 cdn!!! the dealer says its a 'lifetime' fluid meaning you don't need to change it. But there is no such thing as a lifetime fluid except that if you don't change it the trans with blow up and there you go the fluid lasted the lifetime of the tranny! lol. Oddly the dealer says you don't have to change it but my owners manual says the service interval is 196,000 km. I haven't changed it yet but am going to suck up the cost and do it because I have a buddy who is a mechanic and said that ZF unit is over $8k to buy plus labour. But overall VERY happy with the truck because truthfully when I got it i was expecting some reliability issues because older Dodge trucks had issues but I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one and I am going to replace mine with a 2020 this year.

[@2dthoughts]

1 other gripe about tailgate down. I haul my kayak a bunch and you can’t see the license plate with tailgate down I have the Rebel package and love it so far about 7500 miles and a trip from Dallas to the mountains in Colorado. No issues other than those stupid recalls and an update to the radio that took a couple hours ( to fix FM) SiriusXM and everything else was fine

[@techi3075]

I get ur trailer light point but a workaround is to get the 7 pin to 4 pin adapter, then use the bottom port with zero issues when tailgates down.

[@mrrogerstown2435]

For the trailer wiring you could always get an adapter to use the bottom connector. Its like 5 bucks.

[@johnwilson6340]

[@KAP32DW]

Get a 7 prong adapter to flat blade when you load your 4 wheeler. Then plug into main plug and done deal. Usually when you tow the tailgate is up so you don’t jackknife the tailgate with trailer.

Great vid! It amazes me how bad fuel economy v8s get but if you’re towing a lot then you gota have it. If my v6 wasn’t averaging over 20mpg I’d be pissed (stock). Now it’s 13 years old with 4” lift on 33” MTs. I’m getting 17 avg now. Then again the new 5th gens look gorgeous inside and out!

[@tallll70]

V8s do pretty bad millage, Ram could have change that by improving exhaust headers. Another ytber replaced them with aftermarket ones, increased intake airflow to match and got 27 mpg on interstate with two tests on hemi 8 speed. They should have stepped up the game on 5th gen and make it happen, they could've have best mpg out of all

[@amolinari9]

tallll70 that’s awesome and I always agree with what you’re saying when lots of ppl including myself have similar stories and opinions. Unfortunately the automotive industry is still a little corrupt with their ties to the oil and dependence on petroleum, gasoline, and diesel - the epa can only do so much. Nevertheless, it allows aftermarket companies to shine and thrive as a result...

Its because you opted for the E-Torque system that you ended up with start/stop. The regular non-etorque setup doesn't have it. The e-torque is there for fuel economy, and most of that is the start/stop feature. Though its not a huge benefit, as the TFL guys can attest with their Rebel.

Does the start/stop disable hack that worked on the Fords, work on the Rams?

There's a simple mod/hack for the F150s. Just pop the switch out of the dash and jumper it. The computer always thinks that the button has been engaged. Takes less than 20 minutes to complete it. Google it for more info. Heck, same thing might work on the Rams.

[@CJR-se4dg]

I saw same thing with tail gate I ran a plug by the hitch. I am going for 24" or 22s no lift bs . Gonna throw bags so can tuck the wheels. If I want a rumble supercharge her.

[@rcmckonly8]

Well the lift isn't "bs" I have a 4x4. Meant for more clearance and off road purposes. You are just choosing to make a truck more like a muscle car. In my opinion it kinda defeats the purpose of the vehicle but, have seen some done up that way and look good!

[@TheBigGuyATX]

I'm new to Dodge trucks. Just got a 2017 Ram 1500 Big Horn 4x4 Crew Cab 5.7L. It's gorgeous and I love it. I've had Ford F150s and have been a Ford fan. My truck came with a tow package, and my trailer connections are below the rear fender next to the hitch receiver. Which model of Ram 1500 did you get? (apologies if you mentioned it in the video)

[@drodriguez3935]

I’m not a fan boy because I have it but I am a fan boy because I drove all the other trucks and fill what I have is simply the best #RamLife

[@rubeng3091]

FCA sucks! 2016 RAM 1500 hemi bad ABS Module and HCU at 28000 miles and out of warranty. Well known and documented issue and even a class action lawsuit filed against FCA. Issue is so bad you can’t even get the ABS module. On national back order so I and others are stuck driving unsafe vehicles! Way to take care of your customers Chrysler😡. Going to try and sell/trade on another brand vehicle and hopefully will have better luck.

[@hydro_rebel7741]

I ordered a 2021 rebel with the multifunction tailgate, just curious if you looked into it at all and your thoughts on it? And as for your plug, you could trim that cover piece down a little bit.

[@davedeihl3251]

I bought my wife a similar Blacked Out Ram for towing a JayCo Trailer...I put some nice enhancements on it,,,don't know how to share the pics...

[@jaymason982]

I keep hearing about the comparison between the tundra. Kinda like comparing apples to oranges by comparing a 4.6 quad cab 4x2 Tundra to the 5.7 Etorque 4x4 Ram. Seems like the mileage you get is close to what I average in City on my 19 Crewmax 4x4. Plus the Tundra will run all 8 all the time, while the mopar will run in MDS with the Etorque. Both are great trucks for different purposes. Helps to add I traded in my 16 Hemi Ram for my 19 Crewmax Tundra.

[@rcmckonly8]

Which is exactly what I stated. I find that hard to believe. That the Tundra 5.7 is getting the same as the Ram MSD 5.7 city when the 4.6 wasnt even close. So the 5.7 isn’t going to get better.

[@jaymason982]

Close was the keyword. And my only guess would be the fact that maybe the 4.6 being a smaller motor on an already very heavy truck could cause an issue with mileage, as well as the aftermarket wheels depending on how heavy they where over stock. Stop and go traffic always kills it on the crewmax. But minus that and a semi light foot I’ve seen high 14s to mid 15s on mileage. Just depends on how traffic is. Possibly area and driving style as well. But on a different note, did they finally fix the terrible transition in and out of MDS when just cruising around the city? Mine use to drive me absolutely crazy cause it would shutter when coming back to all 8 at the slightest hint of throttle.

[@rcmckonly8]

@@jaymason982 I dont even notice it at all! Like it doesnt even exist honestly. They only shutter i feel is when the truck shut off at a stop

[@russellmogg6993]

I always switch off the auto-start/stop OFF on 2017 Outback. It gets hot in Australia as well

[@semperfi210]

What did you end up buying

[@superior3384]

Do they maybe have an extension for the trailer light connection. Not sure but you should look into it.

[@UNKNOWN-le2tu]

hey i saw your review and saw about the tailgate touching the cover of the trailer electrical connector. i went outside and checked my 2012 bighorn and my tailgate doesnt touch the connector cover.

[@mrluis9456]

When I got my 2019 Ram Laramie, I made sure not to get that E Torque bs. Straight V8🙌🏿🐮

[@horacioproa2200]

What's wrong with the etorque? Isnt it a fuel saver feature without compromising the power of the V8?

[@mrluis9456]

@@horacioproa2200 its early stages I dont trust new tech from fca even though i own a Ram.

Is that when a car suddenly turns off at a red light ?

[@eddienunez3530]

Luis Cabrera yeah I never did like that . My father in-law has a new sub and I tends to do that after every stop. Are you able to ask for a Ram with no e torque?

[@thomastirolflorida5363]

4 Pin Trailer light adapter will solve that tiny issue

[@martinkaz06666]

Are rams transmisions actual garbage? I want to get one but the reviews scare the shit out of me

[@Joevacs]

If you put the AC on "Max" the engine will not shut off at traffic lights.

[@TruckCentral]

Good tip 👍

[@manveerbajwa2206]

I think the complaint with the Tundra having a lot less power is not a valid point. Get the 5.7 V8 and that might feel even more powerful than the ram with a 4.30 rear end.

[@rcmckonly8]

Well it is a very valid point since I was comparing it to the 4.6. Not the 5.7. And still I drove the 5.7 Tundra as well. It wasn’t even close!

[@hellkitty1014]

The 5.7 Tundra does have 4.30s, but you will definitely pay for it at the pump and it is still not as quick as a 5.7 Ram with the 3.21s and certainly not with the 3.92.

[@ethancruse5502]

The heat. My family both have Rams. The heat always messes with the back up camera. If that helps

He has 2Pac on his playlist he know what's up

[@windanthonystream]

You should have gotten the Ram without E-Torque if you hate the start stop technology!

[@TheMattboudreau]

Could you avoid auto-shut off by leaving the truck in Neutral with parking brake?

[@rcmckonly8]

not sure but that would be a real pain at every light. the electronic brake can be a pain if you do not do every step perfect to release it!
