Common problems and easy repairs on a 2007 Ram 1500

The 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie is a moderately easy truck to maintain. The fog lights are easily accessible by simply reaching behind the front bumper, allowing for reliable bulb changes when necessary. Changing the battery won’t be a problem, as the open access to both its bracket and terminals makes it very easy to replace. Changing the engine air filter is also an easy process, requiring no tools and removing without hassle.

However, the 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie has its downsides. The headlights in the main housing will require an entire housing removal for access to their bulbs, and accessing its multiple bolts may prove problematic. The center brake light is not an LED bulb, which means it will require more tedious maintenance over time than similar models. The spare tire must be lowered from underneath the vehicle, which is an unintuitive design that won’t allow for reliable flat fixes.
