I will say this, Ram has always been good at Initial Quality. It is long term where I have my concern with them. I've driven a few that were 2 or 3 years old. They didn't held up well, but that is just my opinion.

Well folks, I did it. After all the failed attempts at the Chevy dealer I traded it in for a 2015 Ram 1500 Larame. I have to agree with the other folks on here that have done the same thing, it was th

Apparently you and the other customer reps don't care. If you or GM would care y'all would put more effort in the matter. Just coming on the forum and stating the same repetitive posts and being a 3

I also own a Fiat product, a Jeep Grand Cherokee that is almost 4 years old and 30k miles and has held up just fine. It has had a ton of recalls and parts replaced because of the recalls but has never given us a problem.

Don't be scared it's just another opinion lol . There's folks that wouldn't be caught dead in GM products fords , Rams and so on . Here's a better story for you when I was buying my new Ram I was waiting to go into finance hanging out in the service department drinking a complimentary celebration coffee lol . A gentleman was sitting next to me when my salesman came back with a owners manual and extra set of keys while I waiting since they were so busy . Anyway the guy next to me asked what I bought and I Said a new Ram q-cab and he smiled and replied your going to love it and he pointed at another Ram on the lift and said that was his getting the oil changed and has had it for five years and all he's done is change the oil and plugs . Never had a ounce of trouble and liked it so much he bought another new one but still kept this one lol said he just couldn't part with it .

Hope that cheers you up lol :)

I truly hope there's a resolution to this problem for you guys. I bought a 2015 crewcab short box 5.3 June 15th. I had been back and forth to the dealer more times than I can remember and certainly more times than I've ever been collectively in my life, and I've been leasing and owning new vehicles for over 20 years.

 

I went to Dodge last week and traded my Silverado with 3400 miles in for a new 2015 Ram.. I had enough.. From June 15th up until last week I did nothing but go back and forth to the dealer or was on the phone with GM. I have no issue whatsoever with the Ram and am really, really happy with it.

 

I've worked in the automotive industry for decades. GM has always had their issues, and maybe in my older age I was being hopeful, but nothing has changed. They still deliver troubled products as is blatantly apparent. GM should be ashamed of themselves to be quite frank.

 

I wish you all the best with this nonsense. Hopefully GM does the right thing eventually.

Just curious, I wonder how much all of you that went and traded in brand new trucks, what was your loss? I had a 2014 Ram and unfortunately did not like it enough to keep. TIA!

You cannot put a price on sanity ;)

In the end, I really lost nothing. My payment is the same.

I went to Jannell Ford, and they offered me 32,000 based when deducting 7000 in incentives and another 7,000 for the full first years worth of depreciation I should have been offered 44,000-45,000 based upon my truck. so approximately 26% extra or 12,000-13,000. but thats just my experience

Looks like you jumped from the frying pan to the fire , just saying . If you've got a vibrator/shaker you have my deepest sympathy .

GM agreed to replace our vehicle, we're out test driving a Sierra as we speak. It vibrates in between 70-80 MPH. Going back to try another ?

Ours developed the vibration at 6,000 Miles, so we're ready for that too. We've gone from A to Z with this problem so we're very aware. Thanks :)

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?

      Future GMC Jimmy

      What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way to big should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crosing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...
