^^^I have no rattles with my sunroof, however that being said, I rarely use to be honest, so maybe whatever rattles hasn't loosened up yet...
and I have no issues with the stock tires, however I've been told it's cause the upgraded rear end and the wider wheel base of the longer truck that helps?

If there's a problem, and the truck is under warranty, it should be fixed free of charge, period. Maybe you should try a different dealer (not saying I want to tackle it, lol).
I also read so many outright bashing the stock tires n removing immediately after purchase, have driven in some pretty shitty weather and while they aren't a super premium tire, not so bad for stock.
Thinking some feeling stock tires are worse vs what they really are is because unlike GM, they are not aggressive in their off the line torque management. Add to that the Hemi makes big torque down low, easy to mistake poor tires for poor right foot control. I was a bit surprised Limited slip / posi is not a super common option in Ram trucks. Got spoiled with my last GM having an Eaton trutrack as part of the All Terrain option. While it worked fantastic, they did not properly address excessive axle end play which saw a fair bit of clunking in the rear at slow speeds either turning or uneven pavement.
While the Hemi has always made good h/p n torque it was not until this gen truck where Ram was able to achieve equally as impressive fuel mileage. No doubt 8spd is a big part of it.
While I did physically look at trucks from each of the big three, after driving my brothers 14 and riding in Dave's truck I was pretty much sold on a Ram. As a hard die GM truck guy virtually forever, speaks volumes.
Thats not to mean the others aren't good rides, just not the ride for me.
My thoughts as well, GM/Ford V8s don't make the low-end torque a Hemi does. Of course, I'm not saying the stock Goodyears are a great tire, but overall they seem pretty good from what I've seen, quiet too. I really liked when we had a Hemi ram for a loaner, I would take it to Toronto for training whenever I has the chance, amazing ride, super comfy and it was loaded, the options are great.
To the O.P., I believe the warranty for rotors warping/noisy brakes is 1 year/20km, seems too late for that now, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
I love my ram, my monthly fuel average is at 12.2/100 but lots of city driving this week, average since I bought the truck is 11.3/100. My truck is super quiet inside. I have the large tank and the 3.21 rear gears. I can get between 850-900km's per tank on average.

This is with 35,000km since reset, this Includes 10,419km towing (second pic), including pulling my Brother's Mustang from here to Edmonton and back with the Empty trailer and probably 85%-90% in town driving

Forgot to mention, 25,000 or so of those km's where in manual mode so the cylinder deactivation was well...deactivated LOL now that I have it activated it surprisingly does made a significant difference
Not sure how some of you guys are getting such good gas mileage out of your trucks, my average is about 14.6L/100.
Over the weekend I drove it really easy and the best I could do is 13.4, this was mostly HWY driving.
Do you drive with the cylinder deactivation off? Cause this will make a difference
I used to think, meh, I doubt it even does anything, or would make it even worse on fuel only using 4 cylinders or 6 or however many it cuts out, but when I started using it, it dropped my L/100 down almost an full point
