I have a 2021 Ram 1500 Bighorn 4x4. At 68,000 the rear end was making a bad humming sound. Take to dealer, replaced Rear Bearings. Of course, out of Warranty. At 75,000, leaking fluid underneath, cracked Radiator! At 80,000, started to over heat when AC on, seized Fan Motor. What’s next!

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 .
