Seat squeaked till the dealer greased them on a TSB
Hood squeaked till the dealer installed the clips, another TSB
Water puddles on the rear spoilergate
oil and filter EASY
no roof sunglesses holder like in my "99"
some one needs to come out next year with a BIGGER rearview mirror that turns green, mirror is smaller than my 99


all in all a great truck so far........
My rearview is big and turns green when lights hit it at night, part of the sport package or the uconnect tunes, forget which one.

This may not apply to 90% of you guys but as a regular cab owner I wish you could tip the driver's side seat back forward manually instead of waiting for the power seat to tip forward. Overall I'm happy with my truck though.

Please tell me this isn't true and please explain more. If true I will keep my 3rd gen Ram for a LONG time. BTW, my 3rd gen ram has a full size spare on a steel wheel. They really cut corners on the 4th gen, It's a shame because they are great looking great driving trucks.

Ummm, the chrome clad plastic 20s are a carry over from the 3rd Gens....

People need to understand the plastic 20s are easier to maintain and will outlast a plated chrome wheel. In addition if you did not know they were a cover (not removeable) they must be good enough as you did not notice until someone said something..... You can also get the painted 20s, no differrent than the late 3rd Gens

Didn't know that, I have the TRX4 so I have the 17's. I'm not a big fan of the 20's on the third gen, but I like the design of the 20's on the 4th gen. BTW, nice looking truck, I'm a big fan of the RCSB's, I haven't seen any 4th gen versions on the road or at any dealer. Was it hard to find?

What they were saying is that they did not get the ventilated seats BECAUSE they did not get the center console. The $500 option is not just for the console, but mostly is charged for the seat upgrade.
They do get the Heated Seats and Steering wheel on the Laramie either way, but the cooling effect of the seats when you get in and have gotten hot on the backside from being outside is really nice.
