Any feedback on Dodge trucks?

In the market for a new to me truck. Looking in the 2017-2021 range, 75k or less miles.
Found a 2020 Ram warlock for a good price. Everything online says it’s a decent truck, decent reviews, just lacks some of the finer features, which I’m fine with and actually wanted.
Any experience/feedback?

I have a 2020 ram sport in the Laramie trim.
I've had it for 3 years and only put 27k miles on it but 0 issues whatsoever. Rides great, drives great, tows great.
I find you point about features to be opposite of what I found when shopping around. To get an equally equipped Chevy, Ford, or GMC was more money. Tundra I feel is behind but I didn't really look at them because they aren't my cup of tea looks wise.

Around 11,000 miles in my 1500 and I love it. No problems yet. I drive it city and put a lot of miles on the highway too. It's a 2022. Actually thought it was the best quality interior for the price compared with ford, Chevy and Toyota when I got it. It's the 5.7 V8 standard hemi (did not go with the etorque). That's all that comes to mind right now.

2019 1500 classic
Finest truck i ever owned.
21 mpg, and rides like a cadillac due to the coil springs rear .

2021 Ram 3500 Laramie 4x4
Just rolled over 30k miles.
No issues at all.
Previously had a 2013 F-350 Lariat. The Ram has more power, better ride, and just as nice for a lot less money.

Rams sure look nice. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one.

You’re absolutely correct, at the same price a Ram has more features. The one I’m looking at, for the same price you’re buying a 2012 Chevy with 150K miles.
It’s pretty cheap with very low miles.

Just traded a 2017 that i bought brand new and put right at 100,000 miles on.
Overall, i really liked the truck. 5.7 was strong.
You almost will absolutely deal with the exhaust manifold bolts breaking off. I was lucky that i only had to replace the bolts and gaskets, not the manifolds themselves. Still cost me $500.
Infotainment system did lag from time to time, but wasnt a huge deal.
I just started getting nervous about the cam/lifter issue that those things can be susceptible to and essentially just used that to validate wanting a new truck.
Overall, it was a good'en.

I've had a bunch, no problems with any of them. I'm driving a 2022 1500 now. Love the hell out of it.
I will say Dodge/Rams USED to be a hell of a deal price wise. They've changed their pricing strategy with their recent upswing so they are neck and neck with all the rest when it comes to price now. Doesn't matter to me, it's the best made truck in my eyes.

Cummings are awesome, dodges are not my favorite. That being said, my friends who have had them either have a Jeep/Cult like love for them or hated them and sold them asap.
End of the day it's like Glock vs. sig vs. HK vs. whatever when it comes to truck brands. Go test drive one and see what feels best.

Get a diesel or be prepared to have cam/lifter issues after 100k miles
If you get a gas burner, add Lucas when you change oil. It will help prevent lifter issues

Especially with the 6.4 and high idle time.
We have a fleet of them and several have trashed engines from cam and/or lifter crapping out. Seems like 15w40 would help that problem
