Certified 2019 RAM 1500

Posted: Sun. Nov. 17 09:21:55 2019

I'm gonna start off by saying whenever I rent a vehicle, I have a habit of driving the xxxx out of them. Which is why I rent a vehicle instead of driving my own. Last week, I rented this truck to go on a trip and this was no exception. I drove it over 1,000 miles the first day and my average speed was the govenor max. 105mph. After that the govenor kicks you back down to around 98mph. That is in the 5.7 litre. Not sure about the others models. I did notice a few things about the truck that I would think would become future issues with the truck being only at 10,600 miles when I picked it up from Hertz. At higher speeds there is an awful whistling noise that comes from the dash, I can really only attribute this to poor construction, with air getting in through the firewall? After the first day, I noticed the truck having poor response time and a bogging down feel. It shifted a little rough at times and felt rather bouncy. As if maybe the front end suspension was already having issues. The back up camera often failed to turn off after going into drive for several minutes on multiple occasions. There was also some unexplained clunking noises. Short version: may be I broke it? Whoops. But as far as the looks go, it looks and feels like a mean badass truck from the outside and while in the drivers seat, but as far as driveability and mean badass truck? I would say the answer is no. I'm not a fan of Dodge and after this experience, that has not changed. There's a reason you don't see many old dodge trucks on the road like you do Chevy's and Ford's. They are not built for longevity. This model is no exception. It is a lemon in the making. On the other hand, it's a very fancy lemon.
