2021 RAM 1500 consumer reviews

2021 ram1500 Laraime; 5.7 E-Torque 39,000 miles @ 4 years I had trouble trying to anwer if I recommend or not - I selected no, at least not this year. I have had many RAM leases, this one was a purchase and, well, I wish I didnt! <22k miles; new tires. ~28k miles, battery died (ok, I understand these things happen - but then I had to pay for TWO HOUS labor to reset all codes that lit up my dash like a X-Mas tree) I had the battery installed myself outside of the labor mentioned. ~38k miles; ALOT WENT BAD!! *Entire front end, consisting of: Lwr & Upr control arms (upr's are made out of a hard plastic, replacement is cast - which seems like how it should have been from the start) along with swaybar links *I also had to replace the rear brakes and then the center exhaust pipe, 2 bolts and a gasket - which seems to happen to ALL RAMs, but not a warranty or recall item. *Exhaust manifolds (at least these were warrantied) *Differential & half shaft (waiting to take in, assuming this is a warranty item under Powertrain) PROS: Great feel Ride height Love the interior - so far lucky not to experience any of the window/rooftop receiver leaks noted in many posts.

I bought a 2021 classic 1500 4x2 quad cab with 5.7 Gas engine. There were 2 rear differential axle gear ratio options, mine has the “hiway gear” but the truck pulls with plenty of power, I think most had that gear for fuel economy. I don’t like the idea that if I open the drivers door while in motion , a transmission brake applies and abruptly stops the vehicle. I was parking in a very tight spot and cracked. The door open and to my surprise, , the truck jerked to a sudden stop. I personally do not care for the dash knob to select the gear, it’s another electronic component that can fail, which in fact has failed . in other trucks. The 5.7 Liter engine was designed with the oil filter to be very difficult to reach , almost as if designed ‘outside ‘ the chassis without realizing once ‘in’ the chassis, the oil filter became extremely difficult to reach to replace .

Spend the extra money for leather and heated and cooled seats . It’s well worth it . Have loved my Ram after upgrading to a Laramie from a 2008 Ram st . Back seat has plenty of room . Seats fold up to allow you to put groceries in .

We bought the Laramie with the sports package and just love it! Also got the etorque, did not think we would like but love it too! The gas mileage has averaged around 20. Love the comfort, the amenities, everything about it, has been a pleasure.

seats are uncomfortable /leaky back window smell bad. can not get carpet replaced only good thing is no road noise ,bad smell from moldy caerpets so so sad

the 1500 ram with the diesel engine has tons of power and gets as good as 33 mpg on the highway, and 25 in town milage, the air ride is great also, love this truck

Lower front grill paint failure falling off.The area adjacent and next to it has no such problems.Which shows no failure to other seperate grill parts .The paint failure is isolated to the individual entire lower grill .The rest of the surrounding individual parts do not have the paint problems .People that see this paint failure feel if they buy a RAM pick up they will have the same paint failure.. Local dealer calls it road use but it is impossible when parts next to if show no such failure. .Paint failure is all over the individual part . Will RAM Corp respond ?

I’ve had 2 5th gen ram, a 2019 bighorn and now a 2021 limited. 2019 I had almost 50k miles w/ only having a flickering LED issue in the passenger upper glove box. My 2021, i have 38k miles on it and it’s been great. I do get some uneven tread wear and wheel vibration, even after alignment but I’m kind of used to it now. But always feel like it’s very well made and reliable.

I love the truck, but the drivers seat is UNCOMFORTABLE. The outside edges on the seat are at too much of an angle up, they are hard, and cut into your legs/butt. VERY disappointed in the seat. Called multiple times, no one can figure out how to fix it.

From day one I told the sales manager that the truck I bought brand new had transmission issue he went on for five times telling me it was the stop start feature clearly it wasn’t the truck has been at the dealer for three months they still can’t fix it replacement transmissions keep failing do not buy or lease these ram trucks
