Take it for what it's worth (maybe I got a lemon) but I've had nothing but issues with my 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie Ecodiesel 4x2. Bought it the week of Thanksgiving 2021 and it currently has 45k miles.

1. Ventilated seats didn't work from the get go. After multiple (8) visits to the dealership, multiple parts changed/replaced, and almost a year later, they were finally able to figure out the problem and fix it (faulty wiring under the center console).

2. 4 months into ownership the intake had to be replaced.

3. A year into ownership the glow plug and connector had to be replaced (with a $100 deductible). Oh and the rubber seal around the rear driver's side window started to come loose. Would've been over $200 to fix but the dealership ate that cost after all the other issues I had been having.

4. I've had 2 recalls so far. One for the tailgate that could randomly come unlatched and slam open (which, after inspection at the dealership, mine was good to go) and another for the high pressure fuel pump that could fail prematurely causing an "unexpected loss of motive power". Still waiting on parts for that to be resolved.

5. I started to notice a musty smell in my truck around 3 weeks ago. Realized my driver's side floor mat and the carpet underneath were soaking wet (it hadn't rained in a few days). Brought it to the dealership only to be told that there is a leak coming from the rear mounted antenna and from the body welds under the front fenders and that I will need new carpet for the driver side along with repairs to fix the leaks. Quote was $1,912.80 with tax and everything. After asking if this was covered under warranty, the service department associate along with her manager were able to get these costs covered under warranty.

Let's just say I haven't been too pleased with this truck which is sad because it's the first new vehicle I've owned since my 2004 Chevy Silverado. I don't know if this is expected from Ram being this is my first experience with one or if, due to buying it during the new vehicle shortage during Covid, Ram was just throwing trucks together to get them on the lots and said screw quality control.
