Does the 2023 Ram HD Rebel Have TOO MANY Cameras for Its Own Good?

Badass looking truck overall, now we are waiting for a new re-design on all Ram trucks from 1500 to 3500. The "newest" design thus far by Ram is the TRX but now it's been 2 years and the other trucks still carry over the older design, which isn't bad but outdated. Keep up the good work TFL, loved your videos for a long time.

[@1gr8oil]

I have the 2020 RAM REBEL 1500 with AIR SUSSPENSION, and I love it! I'm glad to see the new towing mirrors, but I wish the HD trucks would update the body!

[@imathreat209]

I know this may be rude to say, if you need a trailer steering assist. You shouldn't be towing...

LOVE the new mirrors! Hope RAM puts them on the 1500 truck too. Glad to see the new HD tow mirrors are fully power adjustable.

[@jamespenner1412]

still no 35 inch tires, cant get it in a mega cab,
time to retire this 4th gen cab, in 2009 it was fine, now its a little sad! and dont get me started about the ancient 68rfe, time for a 8 speed in the HD market!! i know you read the comments RAM!!

[@fivesfilms]

Well said

[@jonveee2959]

The thing about those be mirrors is the blind spots it creates for pedestrians. My gm truck had similar mirror's and had several times you just couldn't see people at crosswalks walking as you turn-they just appear between the A pillar and the mirror gap.

[@mphRagnarok]

I always think the HD trucks look like 1500s in TFL videos, but I have to keep in mind Andre is actually a pretty huge guy...

[@combatoffroad]

The rearview mirror options are plentiful. I think if the trailer already comes with a camera and you use your phone to view you can skip running the cable. I do like the new mirrors but my 2022 Powerwagon has the rear electronic rearview mirror adjustments and I have a digital rear view mirror as well. At this point I do not see a huge benefit to switching to the new model. I hope the digital dash does not have the same issues as the 12" screen. It goes out from time to time or acts sporadically. That would be more of an issue than just the infotainment system going down for 5-1 minutes and having to restart the truck. I think RAM will likely have to push a few updates before it can be more trustworthy in my opinion.

[@myront.miller6868]

That rear view camera is a game changer. We got it for our 2022 3500 mega cab that we ordered and picked up this past January. It took me a while to install it because I didn’t want to touch the camper. I should’ve installed it day 1 of getting my truck home.

[@williamallen5369]

Ram needs to up the power of the 6.4. plus up the gvwr gcwr like GM does. Also streamline the cabs..it needs to use the cabs from the 1500.

[@taco1273]

Another great option by Ram. Functionality to the max. Just need the price to be reasonable.

[@krane15]

What would a "reasonable" price be?

[@WW-wf8tu]

Impressive. Pricey. I will stick with my 1 required back up camera that is required.(that I rarely pay attention to) And pay for after market accessories I want to install for thousands less. I like the tech. just don't want it to add 20% to the already outrageous sticker price for it. How often does one change mirror settings? How often does one actually need and use all the cameras? Think about that when you are taking out a loan for just the tech. on the vehicle. lol And when that person on the crotch rocket goes flying by your expensive mirror and busts it off and keeps going(which they do)remember how much it is going to cost and how long it will take to have it repaired. 😉 I had a standard electric mirror smashed that way on a couple different vehicles that did NOT have all the extra functions shown here and it was well over a week for a replacement and a few hundred bucks for the 1st vehicle and almost a 1K for the 2nd vehicle a decade later. Again, I don't hate on what is shown here, just consumer thoughts to consider.

[@vr4787]

My pop has a horse trailer but is old school no cameras on his 07 Dodge Ram 2500. Of course not everyone has good experience or hauling sense so I can see why Ram markets the camera system for those that don’t have the skills. Of course it’s more stuff to repair when it breaks.

[@kadzricafort3343]

Absolutely. Separates the men from the boys who can really backup a trailer without having cameras or sensors!

[@MrChadx1]

@@kadzricafort3343 @vr4787 Trailer cameras are more about seeing your surroundings as you are driving down the road; not backing up nor anything to do with having trailering experience or skills. I agree the trailer camera isn't really useful while you are doing the major part of backing up, but it would sure be useful for that final 2 feet if you often want to put the back of the trailer within 6 to12" inches of something and don't have a spotter and don't want to hop out and check a time or two.
It's the same situation with backup camera on the tailgate; those allow one to stop with your ball exactly under the hitch rather than having a spotter or hopping out once or twice to see where it is and moving those final 2". No cameras are required. You can do those small, last few inch checks manually by getting out, but the cameras make those small, detailed maneuvers (ball placement when hooking up, final few feet or inches of parking, etc.) faster and easier even for experienced drivers.

[@Hiluxtaco]

Once again, Andre can't resist slapping something on a new truck .. 🤣

[@ricklp1861]

Can't wait for those mirrors to be replicated so I can put them on my 3rd gen

I’m a big fan of TFL but the ads are getting annoying, I pay RUclips premium for a reason, you guys are ruining it.

[@davidhg117]

I'm a ford guy but since this thing came out it's been my dream truck, might trade in my 2019 f-250 tremor for this

[@2lopezd]

So in other words. RAM has finally caught up to GM with the amount of cameras and views

[@1gr8oil]

2lopezd..................Yes, and GM finally caught up to a better looking interior!

[@2lopezd]

Frankly I don’t mind GM’s interior. I don’t need an iPad which only half of it shows camera angles. Plus these HD trucks were and are intended for work. What’s RAMs next gimmick an automatic lipstick applier????

Thanks for the video. I think that Ram does best at providing what the customer actually wants in their truck. No need for fancy "drive modes" or other nonsense, just a good solid truck.

[@herbwheeler4470]

Who needs all of them cameras?

[@garysarratt1]

Wait, wait, wait, ram vehicles don’t have drive modes?

[@kirkdunn1379]

I love drive modes...and no option to manually shift the truck either on Ram.....Ram also needs to increase the cubic feet in their beds.....they are tiny
My Laramie headlights and brakes were awesome...I never tried Ford but much better than GMs current gen

[@AirRyanTX]

I love my MY23 Ram 2500 HD Rebel but am a but peturbed that all the pre-production media vehicles had the digital rear view mirror but none of the Rebel's that made production were offered them.

[@PlayWaves1]

The only thing I don't know about is the non functional hood scoop. I wish they spent a few extra R&D bucks to make in functional.

[@SamanthaHAgastin]

Keep it up guys

[@justaguy4768]

Is the driving video of this truck coming or has it been uploaded? I can’t seem to find it

[@fasttoyo]

why won't ram update the front middle jump seat? it's the same non-locking lap belt only seat from 1994. ram's 1500 has a modern safer jump seat, plus gm and ford has upgraded their jump seats with shoulder belts as well. but, the ram HD still has the old seat. we have a big family and use that seat frequently, i wish they would update to a shoulder belt.

[@Pje3ski]

The best thing about this is you have the option for the split front seat. Not having that option has always steered me away from the rebel. All of those tech features look awesome as well, but I wonder what it will cost to replace a side view mirror.

[@Ducs4life]

Giod grief, for the love of trucks. Can someone please share payload on that specific gas model.

[@timistrefi2876]

Great tech. Apart from the power extending folding mirrors and tailgate camera view, if you need a camera for the back of your trailer, you shouldn’t be hauling 😂.

[@jasonirwin4521]

Did it also get the Ram 1500 steering wheel too?

[@ed8235]

Good timing on the video. We just had a video on worst tech in new cars, you can add everything this truck has to that list. All those cameras and tech = bigger and bigger price tag.

Andre, has Ram ever given you a reason why they haven't put the 1500 larger cab on the HD's yet? It's better than my 05 3500 was but my company F150 crew has spoiled me with kids.
The rear mirror/camera is cool but.....can you see around that monstrosity of a basketball glued to the windshield?!
The front seat config is exactly how a truck should be 👍

[@paulpetraitis2130]

All those plug in's on the bumper but nothing for the simple 4 pin trailer?

[@dexterrussell9581]

I like it. I just have one statement. Why is it that GM can come out with 13 different cameras and it is a marvelous thought, and Ram comes out with nearly the same amount and it is a question of is it to many cameras. i just don't get it.

[@johnfristoe4256]

Is that trailer camera submersible in water?

[@SkySayn]

It needs a heads up display & full pano roof

[@pigatt1]

Why am I paying for you tube if I’m getting commercials??!!!

[@RealKalEl]

Yea…but the payload 🤦🏻‍♂️ not sure why you’d buy a diesel unless you want more power and better fuel economy when towing, but bc the payload, the Ford is a much better option. And if off roading is what you want, then stick to the power wagon. Looking for a reason to get this in a diesel, but I have yet to find one. Truck is gorgeous

[@Big_ReggBBT]

I personally don't have a reason for towing currently so I wouldn't need a 2500 but this is a beautiful truck and wouldn't find a reason not to own one.

Very nice-looking truck. However, would like you to test out the new Rebel with the Cummins towing a fifth wheel

It better be a light 5th wheel since the Rebel with the Cummins has less than 2k pounds of payload capacity.

The 2023 Ram pricing increase, but still an outdated cab and powertrain drove me into the seat of a 2023 Chevy High Country. The interior isn’t as nice as the Ram, but it’s not bad either. The Chevy drives way better than the Ram, larger cab and bed, telescopic steering, etc. I don’t care about the 12” screen it’s been nothing but problems in my 22’ Ram. I was going to order a 23’ Laramie Hemi, but the invoice price was just under what the Chevy high country duramax was. Sorry not going to pay 79k for a 6.4 hemi that is truly outdated at this point.

[@technom3598]

I'm glad you are happy with your Chevy. But to say the Chevy drives nicer just isn't possible when you have rams rear suspension. It reigns supreme on an engineering standpoint

[@fivesfilms]

On the 3500s it does not. The GM 3500 with independent front suspension drives better and softer than a Ram 3500. Bar none!
