I ordered a '22 Ram 3500 SRW CC Laramie HO w/HD Aisin in May of 2022 and received it November, 2022. The front driveshaft went goofy in December and the K1 failed in June, not to mention the ever present grid heater relay recall.
In the space of about the last 3 weeks all 3 problems have been warranty-repaired and, 14,000 miles later, I finally have a (mostly) new truck. I really do like this vehicle, it has a lot of great amenities, is comfortable to drive, and performs above my expectations in every way. Heck, I even got pulled over last week for doing 80 when I romped on it to get around a slow poke merging onto the freeway! The CHiP let me off with a warning as he understood what I was doing (and perhaps a little professional courtesy as well). I have some nice add-ons that fit well my lifestyle and conservative old coot persona, but have my eye on a few others now that I have a little more confidence that this truck is in its intended form.
It is rather disheartening to experience all of these problems with a very expensive new truck, and it is a nasty black eye to the Ram brand and Stellantis. I hope they have their multiple issues figured out, or are getting them figured out. I am even more hopeful that everyone on here who is experiencing these and other problems gets them rectified to their satisfaction in as timely a manner as mine have been. We'll see what effect time and miles have on this truck, but I'll use it as if it's every bit as good as the numerous Ram/Jeep vehicles we've owned over the past few decades. Good luck to all of you.
