JD Power has named the Ram 1500 as the most dependable large light-duty pickup for 2026. The study compared to over 180 specific problem areas in nine major vehicle categories and used data from owners of more than 33,000 2023 model-year vehicles to rank models based on problems per 100 vehicles. The Ram 1500 outperformed its competitors, with a lower PP100 score than the Chevrolet Silverado, the Ford F‑150, and the GMC Sierra. Despite this, the study also found that Lexus was the least dependable brand.
