- Crash, fire and injury reports

How this compares
74 complaints is 1.9 times fewer than the median 2024 model on this site and 2.2 times fewer than the median 2024 pickup. Among the 13 1500 model years here it ranks 13th for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
