RAM 1500 Warranty FAQ

What does the RAM factory warranty cover on a new 1500?

New RAM 1500s come with a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Once these expire, all repair costs are your responsibility. An Athena extended warranty extends protection beyond factory coverage.

What is the HEMI MDS lifter issue on RAM 1500s?

Multi-Displacement System (MDS) on HEMI engines deactivates cylinders to save fuel. The lifters in this system are prone to failure, especially on 2009-2019 models. Repair typically costs $2,800–$5,000. Our Deluxe and New Car Coverage plans cover this repair.

What RAM 1500 model years are eligible for Athena coverage?

Most RAM 1500 model years with a clean title and under 150,000 miles at enrollment are eligible. This includes 4th generation (2009-2018) and 5th generation (2019+) trucks. Contact us for a specific eligibility check.

Is the air suspension covered on RAM 1500 Limited and Rebel trims?

Yes. Our Deluxe and New Car Coverage plans cover air suspension components including air springs, compressors, and height sensors. This is a significant benefit for RAM 1500 trims equipped with the four-corner air suspension system.

How much does an extended warranty cost for a RAM 1500?

Plans for a RAM 1500 typically start at $40–$100 per month depending on your vehicle's age, mileage, engine type, and the coverage tier you select. Call us at (833) 251-9786 for a free personalized quote.
