This is coming from someone who is a first time truck owner. I did my research, asked people who own Ram trucks and got a lot of positive feedback. Don't get me wrong, I love my truck but...there was a problem with my transmission shortly after driving it off of the lot. The problem did not seem to be mechanical but software related. Whenever I was going over 50 mph and had to slow down, there was a noticeable downshift. And I mean noticeable. I took my car into the dealer at least 4 times over a couple of years to have them look at the transmission. Each time they tried tweaking the software but it was still there. At about 40k miles, the problem went away. I also had an issue with the truck leaking oil heavily within the first couple of years of owning it. Why in the hell would a new car leak oil? I can't remember what was causing it but the dealer did fix it without charging me a fortune. They got their money on other stuff though.
