Hey all.
I am trying to gauge the reliability of the Ram 1500 over time.
I currently have a lease on a 2012, .....I am told the 2009 was the first year for the stuff I have on my 2012??).......and deciding whether to buy it out or dump money into a new lease......My truck has 20k on her...I only put on about 7k-8k a year.....and no issues yet...but of course the warranty runs out at 3 years with the end of my current lease.
A new 2014/2015 truck comes with the 5/100k warranty which if nothing else would put me ahead at the end of another 3 year warranty as far as warranty......
But my truck has been trouble free ---knock wood -- for the last three years...I did have to replace front brakes and all 4 tires already...but that was expected......
Just wondering how many real issues there have been for you 2009 owners over the miles and years. Hoping to look at your experiences as a way to gauge what I might expect in the next 5 years.
It is about the same money for me to either lease or buy mine out.......the obvious restriction with the lease if you cannot alter it and are responsible for any damage etc.
I guess one other thing I could do is pay $1600 or so for a mopar "plus" warranty that covers the majority of the big stuff.....but again that means no alterations that would affect warranty covered stuff.....so..............
I am looking at where I will be in 3 years and 5 years and trying to decide. I would love to just get into a brand new one. But that comes with its own set of issues.
How has your Ram treated you and at what miles did you have issues?
Thanks all!
