Power's 2021 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study, RAM ranks fourth among all brands in terms of dependability, which is a measure of problems experienced by vehicle owners over a three-year period. RAM also scored above average in J.D. Power's 2021 Initial Quality Study, which measures problems experienced by new vehicle owners in the first 90 days of ownership.

RAM trucks are generally reliable, but like any vehicle, they can have problems.
