It’s time to solve another mystery, but this time we’re taking a closer look at the 1500. We’ve noticed that although it has impressive value and comfort ratings, it still lags behind the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado 1500. Is it because of bad reputation?
How reliable is the 2023 Ram 1500?
It has an average reliability rating. Consumer Reports expects it to be as reliable as the new car average, and gave it a score of 3.5 out of 5.0, which is slightly above average.
Currently a reliable choice with solid build quality, it has a seedy past. In 2019, when the Ram truck was redesigned to launch its fifth generation, a lot of significant improvements were made.
Some people may be hesitant because the Ram pickup truck has a bad reputation for poor quality and reliability. So, we may have the ugly duckling situation on our hands. Before the ram could turn into a beautiful swan, he ran into mechanical problems.
The 2015, 2014, and 2013 models have the most complaints about mechanical issues. Ram 1500 problems range from transmission problems, engine problems, interior accessory issues, and electrical problems.
Expensive engine and transmission problems like no acceleration, slipping gears, shuddering, stalling, and failures don’t boost confidence.
Then interior problems like cracked dashboards, crumbling seat cushions, freezing radios, shredded upholstery, and flickering lights might not have helped.
But the newer models have a slew of complaints. This indicates that old problems may have been patched.
How has the Ram truck improved?
Developed to suit the needs of workers and families. While tons of trucks are used as utility vehicles to make money, about 50% of them are sold as family vehicles. Therefore, it was the first truck to switch to a unique coil spring suspension system.
Provides a smooth ride without compromising towing capabilities. In addition, the interior features a spacious layout with plenty of room for adults in the front and second rows. There are plenty of innovative storage solutions for tools, gear and luggage.
The Ram 1500 also leads the way in technology. It was the first truck to offer a large touch screen to facilitate towing and off-road driving. The systems are fast and easy to use.
Also, critics were impressed with the luxurious interior quality. The interior is quiet, and the large leather seats are well-cushioned for hours of comfort. If you can get over the Ram’s dark past, the new 1500 is worth checking out.
