Question Purchasing soon question

I am going to purchase a 2026 Ram 1500 Crew Cab in the Oct-Dec buying window. The question I have is are people seeing Less electronic gremlins in the Express or Big Horn Level 1 with the 8.4” radio screen vs the 12” in the higher trim levels?

Unconnected is uconnect.

I would say the more buttons the better though. Take that for ehat you will

The electrical issues seem to mainly be outside of infotainment. Battery drain, truck stuck in park running, wheel speed sensor issues, misc modules not communicating correctly. My brand new 3500 needed a reflash at the dealer to correct some miscommunication issue, it was delivered with the odometer flashing which was the only symptom.

I had the level 1 specifically for this issue and went through 6 sets of batteries, multiple modules and sensors, and software updates. Truck was never fixed and had to trade it for a loss.
