An objective view from an Ed owner. This ram was new vehicle purchase #26 for me & my first chrysler product so don't dub me as brand loyal. I've always seen chrysler product as being inferior, whether perceived or reality. I was in hopes ownerships by European entities would bring improved reliability but I can't emphatically attest to that. I have to say I've never owned a vehicle that has suited my needs in every respect as well as this Ed, BUT I'm having trouble shaking the the ominous question of reliability. I've had a battery replacement (agm's aren't designed to co-habitate with a hot diesel engine), 3 mil's & 6 software updates; minor by comparison but still annoying. I cringe each time I see a new problem post on the several forums I belong to or the numerous YouTube videos. I try to sooth my anxiety by holding to the fact that forums & YouTube are the #1 avenues used by disgruntled owners to rant over their woes & in the scheme of things their numbers are minuscule in comparison to the many thousands of satisfied owners on the road with no hint of problems of any kind. the fact that edmunds (and motor trend, by the way) had to tow their test vehicles to the shop is, however, definitely a black eye for our product & with some press releases airing some repetitive problems, I dare say could possibly have an adverse effect on sales & eventually resale values. I'm by no means defending nor selling the Ed, but it's been my observation this has arguably been the most maligned vehicle on this forum & it's obvious the op did a good bit of research to find these links. I can't help but to question the motivation of his post but will assume it's from a perspective of a Good Samaritan warning potential buyers. By the way, totally agree with don: place little credence on the links to mustangshawns posts. He definitely has a hidden agenda.
