A first-year look at common issues, warranty coverage, and smart protection for tech-packed trucks
The 2024 Ram 1500 continues to raise the bar for luxury and utility in a full-size truck. With available night edition packages, advanced safety features, and the upcoming switch to the Hurricane engine lineup, it’s a standout in both design and performance. But how reliable is it straight from the factory—and how long will that protection last?
Here’s what owners are seeing so far and what coverage options make the most sense for the long haul.
Factory vs Extended Warranty

Bumper-to-Bumper | 3 years / 36,000 miles | Up to 8 years / 125,000 miles |

Roadside Assistance | 5 years / 60,000 miles | Up to 8 years / 150,000 miles |

2024 Ram 1500 Reliability Snapshot
Although still early in the model year, several TSBs and early ownership reports give us a window into the most common concerns so far.
Known Issues and TSBs
- TSB 08-014-24: Uconnect 5 freezing or touch delay in cold climates
- TSB 24-002-24: HVAC recalibration for dual-zone temperature mismatches
- Front camera misalignment triggering ADAS warnings
- Automatic high beam flickering at night on LED-equipped trims
- Air suspension compressor cycling too frequently
- Random warning lights traced to grounding harness issues on early builds
The good news? These issues are manageable—and most are covered under warranty, for now.
Who Should Consider an Extended Plan?
With even more technology in the 2024 Ram 1500, extended protection is quickly becoming less of a luxury and more of a necessity.
Recommended for:
- Owners of Limited, Laramie, Rebel, and TRX trims
- High-mileage users and long-term keepers
- Drivers in cold or wet climates (where tech systems tend to fail early)
- Anyone who wants to avoid costly repairs beyond 36,000 miles
