Consumer Description
I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW IN 2011 BUT I HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED TO AFGHANISTAN FOR THE LAST 1.5 YEARS AND THE TRUCK SITS IN THE SHOP MOST OF THE TIME. MY WIFE KEPT TELLING ME ON THE PHONE THAT WHEN SHE HAS TO DRIVE OUR TRUCK AT NIGHT IT WAS LIKE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT EVEN TURNED ON AND SHE CAN NOT SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT . I DROVE THE TRUCK ON MY R&R AND I WILL SAY THE TRUCK HAS SOME VERY VERY POOR HEADLIGHTS. IT'S LIKE A HEADLIGHT IS OUT OR SOMETHING BUT THEY BOTH WORK. THEY ARE BRIGHT BUT THE BEAM IS NOT FOCUSED OR SOMETHING, I COULD HARDLY SEE AT ALL DRIVING THE TRUCK AT NIGHT, THEY DON'T SHINE ANY DISTANCE DOWN THE ROAD. IF YOU DRIVE MORE THAN 50 MPH YOU ARE OUT DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS CAPABILITY. I GOOGLED 2012 RAM HEADLIGHT ISSUES AND THERE IS A TON OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT HOW POOR THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON THESE TRUCKS. *TR
