The Dodge Ram 1500 series uses DOT 3 brake fluid, a hydraulic fluid that helps your brake system function by activating the calipers. If you experience poor brake performance, start by checking the brake fluid level. If it's low, add more fluid and check for leaks, commonly found at the brake lines' connections with the calipers. Loose fittings at these points may cause fluid leakage, which you can spot by observing drips.
For the 2020 Ram 1500, the suggested brake fluid is either DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
