Consumer Review Video - 2015 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel
Common problems and easy repairs on a 2015 1500
The 2015 Ram 1500 Diesel Laramie Longhorm is difficult to maintain. Multiple panels, the grille, and the bulb housing will need to be removed to access the headlights, which won’t allow for reliable bulb changes. Checking the transmission fluid will be a problem as there is no dipstick, and you’ll have to crawl underneath the truck to drain the fluid. The spare tire is stored underneath the truck, as well, which runs the risk of it rusting to the undercarriage.
However, the 2015 Ram 1500 Diesel Laramie Longhorn has its upsides. The fog light is accessible by simply reaching behind the front bumper, allowing for reliable bulb changes. The engine air filter will be easy to change, as well, as no tools are necessary to disengage the filter housing to reach it. Monitoring the engine coolant won’t be a problem given the open access to the reservoir.

Sure you can take it in for a $19 lube, but are you OK with a stripped oil pan and cheap parts in return?
White light when you back up - yup, they burn out and you can replace them with bright LEDs
Small bulbs that burn out regularly - did you know you can replace these with LED lights?
Properly inflated tires is the easiest way to improve fuel economy. The right tire pressure is NOT on the side of your tire btw
