2019 Ram Limited
I just traded my 16 Platinum for a 19 Ram Limited. My truck wasn't bad overall, but it only had 15k miles on it and I was tired of the IWE issues along with the persistent audio off problem. The interior and paint quality crushes my old truck, but time will tell how it holds up over time.

You will have the same paint issues on the Ram, came out of a 2016 2500 that had the same rock chips all over it on the bumper as I do on my 18 150.. I ended up getting the front and rear bumpers color match linex so they would not get any worse. Made the mistake on my current 150 and procrastinated too much and did not get the clear bra done...

I'm talking about paint flaws from the factory. I've had clear bras before and don't find them worth the cost or hassle. A little Dr Colorchip now and then and it looks fine.

Nice looking truck! Feel free to pop in from time to time to let us know how its going! I dam near pulled the trigger myself on one of these when my second timing chain went in my eco.

Its time to send Ford a message!

All I can add to this is that my 2018 is the poorest quality Ford vehicle I have owned to date. Between myself and my wife, we have owned around 25-30 Ford vehicles since 1995. I had it on the shop for the first time last week for 3 different issues and I am still driving today with the same 3 issues.

Wonder if the badge on the hood could be removed. Would look super clean imo.

It can be, but there's an indentation for the badge.

I stopped buying North American made vehicles in the early 90s.
Started buying Nissan and Lexus...I was amazed (serious) at how well these vehicles were built and how little repairs I had (have) to do.

Needed a truck to tow haul - bought a fully equipped Ford. I still like the truck. Rides nice, lots of room and runs great when its running!

But these manufacturers still build sub quality vehicles with a neglect on addressing and fixing the issues at hand.
Its like year after year - every new year model we hear the same stories over and over about the same problems.
