I rented a '19 Ram Limited last fall and found the engine and transmission very nice, the dash too full of digital stuff for my taste, and it was noisy on the road. Noisier than my base Titan. It had air ride and did ride nice. Ram tranny programming beats Nissan hands down.
New body style or old body style? If it was NBS it should have been MUCH quieter. We've owned both and the NBS is much plusher and significantly quieter. Both have the ZF 8spd, same engine, same UConnect...etc.
Amusingly, my dad has the same critique of the dash as you, as we are trying to get him out of his 2000 Expedition and into something safer. He has borrowed our 2019 a couple of times but finds himself feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the tech. I told him it would be similar in any new truck and he didn't find that helpful
The one time he borrowed it to drive to Toronto, he accidentally hit the gear limiter instead of the cruise and didn't know what he had done other than the truck wouldn't go over 60km/h. He pulled over, put it in park, put it back in drive and it was fine, but he was quite freaked out and it was stressful for him at the time.
