I bought a 2021ram1500 classic tradesman quad cab 4x4 v6 with lots of extras towing pkg 3.55 gears ⚙️ it tows my 3,000 lb boat just fine you don't need the gas guzzling hemi v8
Seems like a very capable pickup truck. Not everyone is going to need the power of a Hemi and it can tow a good sized camper with all your gear with no issues. Better gas mileage and proven performance and durability. Seems like this would be perfect for 85% of people looking for a new truck. I think I wouldn't rule it out as a new purchase. I have a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan with the 3.6l pentastar and it is absolutely amazing. It does what it should and it has been reliable and can tow UpTo 3300 lbs. I used to hate minivans, but the necessity made it an easy choice. So, yep... V6 for me in my next truck as I just don't need to haul 8000lbs and would benefit from the added fuel economy, especially in today's market.
Just purchased a 22 big horn with the v6 e torque. I was originally going to look at a 2020 warlock but I saw this one at my local Kia dealership for $30k 1 owner w/23k miles. Test drove it and seemed like it’ll fit my needs. The 8 speed transmission is smooth and acceleration is there. I work 2 miles from home, I will tow but like 1-2 a year mostly carry on the bed. I think the v6 is capable and a good bang for the buck. I averaged 24mpg on my first day with it highway. So far I love it. Again I needed a truck. Short commute and it’ll be great for my Lowe’s/Home Depot runs lol (traded in my beloved 2020 Kia forte lxs)
I have a 22 bighorn v6 etorque also. Love my truck. I live in south Florida where went don’t have all the hills and stuff so my gas mileage is wonderful. Plenty of power in the new generation.
I owned two Ram v6 1500 and they were both great. Lots of power and they can tow 6,000 lbs with ease. Used them as a bidding rig for concrete contracting. Ran all over then place bidding jobs. I averaged 18 to 20mpg running the truck hard by the end of the day. Both none eco.
I averaged 21 mpg with the 18inch rims and good year HTs that came with it. I swapped the tires for some mud terrains and now I average 19.8 mpg. I typically don't go over 65mph though lmao.
I have a 3.6 Warlock with a 3.55 rear end, and it will get 20-21 mpg on the hwy easily, average closer to 18. Pretty good for 33" AT's factory lift and the Rebel front bumper (no chin spoiler). Acceleration is adequate, but the lack of low end torque can be annoying when I'm working thru a rough slow trail. Hard to modulate the gas smoothly.
I bought this truck back in December, 2022. I have a daily commute of 94 miles (47 miles each way). I had previously owned a Dodge Durango (16 years, 262,000 miles) so I was familiar with Dodge products. For what it is, it is a good truck. I'm actually averaging right at 22 miles per gallon (I'm calculating it, not the truck's computer) which you can't complain about (74 of those 94 miles are interstate). I have one steep mountain to climb and it does "OK" but you do have to give it some gas and get it to shift down to about 5th or 6th gear to get it to climb with any speed. The one thing that was an unpleasant surprise was the truck did not come with voice recognition/commands. I thought it was a problem with the truck. Took it back to the dealer and my head unit was not equipped with voice recognition even though all the buttons and microphone are in the truck. The window sticker even said it had it. But upon taking it back to the dealer he pointed out the very last item on the window sticker was a line item labeled "connected services credit" where they reduce the sticker price by $250. That accounts for the fact the head unit was not equipped for voice recognition, an apparent victim of the chip shortage. So, if that is important to you, you might want to keep an eye out for that item on your sticker if you look to buy the truck. Good truck, it will serve my needs for a few years until I retire.
My last two trucks have had the Hemi and it’s a great engine but before that I had 4 RAMS with the V6 and the V-6 was a very nice engine plenty of power for my needs anyway and the gas mileage for the V6 is from 3 to 5 mpg better than the hemi.. Also the hemi is a $2400 upcharge over the standard V6.. I do haul hay with my truck and for that the V-6 is plenty capable but…… It’s no beautiful hemi lol…
@@leedanielson7452 One cannot bitch about non-English speaking immigrants when you...yourself are unable to formulate a proper, coherent sentence. Don't be a hypocrite.
My 2014 Ram 1500 with the hemi is great for passing people on a two lane who don’t drive the speed limit on a clear day. Pass them with ease and the engine barely broke a sweat. Need it for towing my TT as well. But obviously the v6 fits the need for many buyers. Great to have options
Lol passing people who can't drive. Don't blame you man. My 2017 Ram with the V6 already passed a Prius on a double yellow line the other day. Didn't take much to get on the gas but then again the driver was doing about 17mph. But I definitely feel the power at higher speeds too.
I recently just bought a similar truck to this. With gas prices exploding, I thought it was the smarter buy. It’s a quad cab, with more options than this truck on the interior. So far, I love it!
I thought about it too but living in CO and towing my boat over the rockies to Lake Powell, I got the echo diesel. A lot more scratch but worth every penny,
I went from a 06 Hemi to a 16 2500 cummins. Once I didn’t need a truck for towing, I went to a 2019 Pentastar and I regretted it. Only got the epa estimate when doing 65 or under on flat ground and the truck would constantly downshift from 8th to 7th, even on the slightest incline and you could hear it. When going through a neighborhood at 25ish, the rpms were so low it felt like it was going to stall. I loved the truck, just not the engine. I got rid of the truck to cut my losses and save some money since my son got his license. I’m now living with a car until I can save enough for another truck. 2016 Passat with the 1.8 and while not a barn burner, so much better than that 6. Hopefully one more year and I’ll be back in a truck….
Man that sucks lol. I just bought a 2022 ram 1500 bighorn pentastar and I'm liking it. I've had plenty of capable cars to compare 2021 trailboss, 2021 mustang gt but at the end even though those vehicles were fun I didn't need it.
@@ericf.9558 Best of luck with it. Maybe mine was just off. Also had the 3.21 rear so maybe that played a part. Maybe they programmed things better since that first year of the new body style. Loved the truck from a comfort standpoint, just not the engine and the below average fuel economy. I know a lot of people do love it.
I was in the market for a used full size half ton this year. Test drove a 3.3 F150 and the 3.6 Ram, the 3.6 Ram is more comfortable for around-town light use for my needs than the 3.3 F150.
For someone who is looking to purchase his very first truck, I say a V6 4X4 is practical and just right for me. Thanks for the video, Ben. It really helps.
I had that V6 in my 2019 Durango GT - it was adequate at the time. Now I have have the 3.5TT in my F150 Tremor.. so, yeah it got demoted to too slow lol.
I just spent a month with a '22 1500 V6 eTorque and it's the worst feeling powertrain I've ever driven. The motor's got punch when you're unloaded, I'll give it that, but the transmission really feels like crap, and the throttle is hands-down the worst feeling one I've ever used. I poked around under the hood just to see what the 3.6 had going on, and the motor layout had me cringing at the thought of even basic spark plug or gasket replacements. All in all, I've never been happier to give a rental back, and wouldn't even think of owning one unless it was basically free.
@@ranapartap1501 2022 quad cab bighorn with 3.6 and level 1 big horn equipment. Msrp was 45k and got it for 34,800. They also had it optioned with the 5.7. Msrp was 48k and It was selling for 38k.
I got the v6 with the 3:55 gear ratio she pulls great don’t know why people complain about speed or power u won’t need to use the full max anyway but v6 is great 👍🏻 rather get a Cummins in the near future
I bought the 2022 ram 1500 quad cab 3.6 engine and I am truly disappointed with the overall highway mileage 22 average and I am commuting on the highway 42 miles roundtrip. Where is the 25 mpg it stated on the sticker. 8th gear rpm's is a bit higher than my old 2013 ram 1500 3.6 tradesman truck. The take off power is not there and the rpm's in take off are sometimes up to 4 rpm's. old truck was better on hwy. miles. Went on a 500 mile trip loaded with camping gear and coolers (no towing) and 3 riders going up on the highway got 20.5 mpg and coming back 21.5 mpg. The first 3 gears consume a lot of gas maybe average 8 mpg on take off very high rpm's, not a good upgrade from the 2013 engine honestly.
Same problem here, i commute over 80 miles round trip 5 days a week, 90% of my trip is Interstate driving. I Average 21-22 mpg max never seen 25 mpg with over 35k on the odometer so far. I also agree on the take off power it’s definitely lacking
I don’t think that is bad at all seeing as real world mileage on a new 2.3 eco boost ford ranger is in the 23-24 mpg range. Was looking at those but will likely just end up going with a v6 ram seeing as the price difference is next to nil
I like the way GM has there push button start location.....seems odd but actually it's easier to use......steering wheel kinda blocks this where GM is easier to use imo Have both 21 ram and 22 chevy atm......I do like ram though.......column shifter and igniton location like GM better
I just found a 2022 black on black 1500 classic for $30695 with the V6 we are thinking about getting just for some highway driving but mostly for local town driving.
Imagine if this was a video about the V6 vs. a comparison to the Hemi? I have a 2021 1500 (v6/3.55 rear/4x4/6'4" bed) and get phenomenal fuel economy and performance. Tow rating is 7740 lbs. That's more than an average non-commercial truck owner will ever tow. If I'm on the highway and the Hemi version passes me, I'm the one laughing. My truck's sipping fuel by comparison.
That is my question my dad bought a 2022 ram big horn and we are trying to see the same thing cause he wants the Laramie headlights but he doesn’t know if it does affect the warranty or not
@@starlinrodriguez1334 It probably doesn’t matter since your Dad already bought his truck but you can get a Big Horn with the LED lighting package from the factory.
I guess Larry H only lets you drive around the block! LOL You need to take these trucks out on the interstate like everyone else does for a proper review.
Why would anyone, whose concerned about fuel efficiency, buy a crew cab truck with a V6? It’s preferable for one to buy an extended cab or single cab pickup with a V6.
I agree! Bad day Ben? It sounded like you didn't want to be there and didn't give a crap! The V-6 is a great engine and with 305HP, it's more than adequate for most jobs a truck would be used for the average Joe.
All I can say is the oil filter housing will probaly leak and some point hopefully around 90 k so u can get the plugs changed too either way you’ll shell out around a $1000 bucks to fix it ..careful u don’t tighten filter too tight but the seals that connect to block will probaly leak anyhow .. very poor setup
We had this problem with our caravan at around 120k miles, replaced it, it cracked, replaced, cracked again after a few months. Finally got the aluminum version and so far so good after a couple months 🤞
You probably have the tradesman this one is the bighorn so nicer interior and features. Also the 1500s are like 10k off sticker so someone gonna pay like 41k for it.
I have a 2019 ram with the V6 the engine is to small for the truck and it is same engine that is in jeep and the charger and challenger and the V6 SUCKS
It's not the motors it's everything else that's the problem V6 V8 it don't matter it's still a Dodge. I don't know if you own a Dodge or not if you did you would be aware of how inconvenient the whole experiences just driving the truck into town. I can name so many things I'm just going to name a couple that bother the shit out of me and everyone else that I have talked to. All Dodge trucks 2016 and up their infotainment system sucks. All of them are so glitchy expect a delay up to 6 seconds trying to change volume muting volume and skipping tracks. The whole infotainment system is buggy at best. If you have seats other than cloth they are the most uncomfortable seats in any truck you will find that even have seats with air conditioning built in and then things are like sitting on a goddamn Rock. The dome light without the truck running was only stay on for like maybe 1 minute before it keeps turning off you have to have the truck actually on acc for the light to stay on any length of time. If your headlight goes out you simply can't just take it out and replace the bulb it's a sealed unit a new headlight is $2,000. If you do construction work where you are traveling on roads that are not DOT ready yet and are doing things like I did like installing fiber optics there's no sense in having a seat belt on when you're having to install 70 faults in a housing development. You're calling jumping in and out of the truck and you are constantly bombarded by a five ping dinging letting you know that your seatbelt is not on. On some trucks it will never stop. If you have a cell phone that you don't want to connect through the radio with a USB cable and just charge your phone you can't because the truck will force your phone into going into Android auto and there's no other way to turn it off other than taking away its permissions and then you won't be able to use it in Bluetooth mode either. Some trucks have a knob that looks almost identical to a volume knob and is literally placed right next to the volume knob it's just bigger I do not like this let's say you run out of gas especially in today's day and age with the gas prices you can't just simply turn the key and turn the knob and put it in neutral it will be locked and you will not be able to push yourself off the side of the road I have went through this situation this is the most dumbest thing I've ever seen. Well I could keep going on and on but I think if you're reading at this point you get the gist. All of newer Dodge vehicles suck and it's not necessarily the engines the engines are actually fairly nice the problems that people have with the engines are people that do retuning and modifications if you leave them alone I really believe you could get up words of over a million miles if he took care of them. It said that I really believe that the people that have built the interiors of these trucks are fashionistas instead of thinking about functionality they're thinking totally about fashion and the looks of something well you know what sexy to me its functionality I'm at the point now to every time I sit inside of a new Dodge truck I cringe every corner I look I can see bullshit. Sorry I was using voice to text and we all know Google voice to text sucks too.
I have a 2017 ram 1500 big horn 4x4 with the V6 and love it! I was sooo annoyed with the seatbelt dinging all the time and ended up just YouTubing it. You can easily turn it off with a few clicks of the seatbelt. God bless RUclips 😂.
A V6 truck is pointless. Half towing capacity. I prefer to future proof. That’s like getting an automatic Corvette. Why? If you prefer a V6 full size “truck”, get a Ridgeline. V6 sounds weak and anemic.
@@leedanielson7452 I’ve tried to explain this to you and your flat earth boyfriend king but if you aren’t willing to accept proven mainstream statistics that put Ram as the worst manufacturer in quality then there’s not much point in arguing it right?
@@leedanielson7452 initial quality is a useless stat. Go look at predicted reliability then try again. Only truck manufacturer lower than ram is Nissan. And as a whole FIat Chrysler aka ram is consistently the worst major manufacturer in both predicted reliability and worst five year depreciation.

Went on a 500 mile trip loaded with camping gear and coolers (no towing) and 3 riders going up on the highway got 20.5 mpg and coming back 21.5 mpg. The first 3 gears consume a lot of gas maybe average 8 mpg on take off very high rpm's, not a good upgrade from the 2013 engine honestly.
Same problem here, i commute over 80 miles round trip 5 days a week, 90% of my trip is Interstate driving. I Average 21-22 mpg max never seen 25 mpg with over 35k on the odometer so far.
I also agree on the take off power it’s definitely lacking
I don’t think that is bad at all seeing as real world mileage on a new 2.3 eco boost ford ranger is in the 23-24 mpg range. Was looking at those but will likely just end up going with a v6 ram seeing as the price difference is next to nil
I like the way GM has there push button start location.....seems odd but actually it's easier to use......steering wheel kinda blocks this where GM is easier to use imo
Have both 21 ram and 22 chevy atm......I do like ram though.......column shifter and igniton location like GM better
Awesome sharing, great content the wonderful place 2022 Ram 1500 V6: Does The V6 Suck, 8 like it. Good luck my friend.
I just found a 2022 black on black 1500 classic for $30695 with the V6 we are thinking about getting just for some highway driving but mostly for local town driving.
2d or 4d 4x4?
@@ranapartap1501 base rear wheel drive
Imagine if this was a video about the V6 vs. a comparison to the Hemi?
I have a 2021 1500 (v6/3.55 rear/4x4/6'4" bed) and get phenomenal fuel economy and performance. Tow rating is 7740 lbs. That's more than an average non-commercial truck owner will ever tow.
If I'm on the highway and the Hemi version passes me, I'm the one laughing. My truck's sipping fuel by comparison.
So for this car if you replace the front and tail lights with Led likes like for ex’ the Laramie, does it affect the warranty of the vehicle?
That is my question my dad bought a 2022 ram big horn and we are trying to see the same thing cause he wants the Laramie headlights but he doesn’t know if it does affect the warranty or not
@@starlinrodriguez1334 It probably doesn’t matter since your Dad already bought his truck but you can get a Big Horn with the LED lighting package from the factory.
I guess Larry H only lets you drive around the block! LOL You need to take these trucks out on the interstate like everyone else does for a proper review.
This truck is for those who want the utility of a standard size pick up truck for light duty.
Still waiting to see you do a Bighorn Back country. Are they hard to find?
Small complaint here...Does the position of the needle on the RPM gauge annoy anyone else? Seems too high
I think Rams generally have a nice interior.
52 almost for a V6 entry level trim hell no
Lol I paid less than that for a 2500
I got my Midnight edition all black with led for 40k great deal
Has Ram figured out how to build the front end yet?
5:41 that’s called an ash pot. Just like in the old school Cadillacs
All ram need to do with there v6 is make it twin turbo. Then it would up the hp and torque and better mpg. Kill the v8
Turbos aren’t that reliable tho
Looking forward to the new hurricane motor from Ram
You asked if the v6 sucks,yes it does,I test drove it and it’s sluggish,go with the v8 hemi
"most everyday driving you won't notice it..."
Challenge accepted... lol
Sounds clean. 305 🐎
Why would anyone, whose concerned about fuel efficiency, buy a crew cab truck with a V6? It’s preferable for one to buy an extended cab or single cab pickup with a V6.
That ram v6 is very potent.
Never heard Ben’s voice so disinterested in a review. Clearly he thinks the V6 sucks
Haha
I agree! Bad day Ben? It sounded like you didn't want to be there and didn't give a crap! The V-6 is a great engine and with 305HP, it's more than adequate for most jobs a truck would be used for the average Joe.
Etorque comes on the Hemi as well. Not just the V6
Have they fixed the infotainment system on these yet?
Never had an issue with it on my '19 Bighorn and no issue on my '22 Rebel. What type of problem were you having if I may ask?
There are no issues at all with the ram infotainment system…
Slow, laggy, buggy. Some of them have these issues.
How does a v8 get better highway then a v6?
Its BS, The 3.6 gets 4-5 MPG better in the real world. Ive owned both, i know.
All I can say is the oil filter housing will probaly leak and some point hopefully around 90 k so u can get the plugs changed too either way you’ll shell out around a $1000 bucks to fix it ..careful u don’t tighten filter too tight but the seals that connect to block will probaly leak anyhow .. very poor setup
We had this problem with our caravan at around 120k miles, replaced it, it cracked, replaced, cracked again after a few months. Finally got the aluminum version and so far so good after a couple months 🤞
Its a good set up, dont cross thread, and torque to specs, no problem
how are the cloth seats in the new toyota tundra? are they just as comfortable?
I like the Ram seats
no heated mirrors?
Maybe if Ram/Dodge would've put a 392 SRT in a Ram I'd get a V8
V6 Sucks.. That is correct! These are 1/2 ton Trucks and a N/A V6 has no buisness in this segment
Anyone driven the v6 on sand/beach. Looking for truck with decent gas mileage for surfboard and really only need 4X4 for the beach/snow
It's much faster than the Ford V6
Damn 51k for a v6 ram, my 22 ram 2500 4x4 was listed for 47k
You probably have the tradesman this one is the bighorn so nicer interior and features. Also the 1500s are like 10k off sticker so someone gonna pay like 41k for it.
@@ericf.9558 Most of them in my area are asking 41k. ( 4d and 4x4.)
Snowbed included with the package
I wonder how it will perform with a turbo on that V6.
It will perform like a boosted V6.
Engine will blow up prematurely
Does it have Apple CarPlay?
Yes
That V6 Ain't Powerful Enough But The V8 Is.
Depends what you using it for lmao. It's powerful enough to drive around town and the city haha.
I think its better than the 2.7 turbo that chevy has
The 2.7 is leagues better in performance, and the entire torque curve. So not at all actually.
Sounds like more on opinion than facts to me.
I have a 2019 ram with the V6 the engine is to small for the truck and it is same engine that is in jeep and the charger and challenger and the V6 SUCKS
Why is the camera always 5
inches from your face
Did I hear a wowcrendor "see ya"?
How fast are you trying to pass on a highway?😂
It's not the motors it's everything else that's the problem V6 V8 it don't matter it's still a Dodge. I don't know if you own a Dodge or not if you did you would be aware of how inconvenient the whole experiences just driving the truck into town. I can name so many things I'm just going to name a couple that bother the shit out of me and everyone else that I have talked to. All Dodge trucks 2016 and up their infotainment system sucks. All of them are so glitchy expect a delay up to 6 seconds trying to change volume muting volume and skipping tracks. The whole infotainment system is buggy at best. If you have seats other than cloth they are the most uncomfortable seats in any truck you will find that even have seats with air conditioning built in and then things are like sitting on a goddamn Rock. The dome light without the truck running was only stay on for like maybe 1 minute before it keeps turning off you have to have the truck actually on acc for the light to stay on any length of time. If your headlight goes out you simply can't just take it out and replace the bulb it's a sealed unit a new headlight is $2,000. If you do construction work where you are traveling on roads that are not DOT ready yet and are doing things like I did like installing fiber optics there's no sense in having a seat belt on when you're having to install 70 faults in a housing development. You're calling jumping in and out of the truck and you are constantly bombarded by a five ping dinging letting you know that your seatbelt is not on. On some trucks it will never stop. If you have a cell phone that you don't want to connect through the radio with a USB cable and just charge your phone you can't because the truck will force your phone into going into Android auto and there's no other way to turn it off other than taking away its permissions and then you won't be able to use it in Bluetooth mode either. Some trucks have a knob that looks almost identical to a volume knob and is literally placed right next to the volume knob it's just bigger I do not like this let's say you run out of gas especially in today's day and age with the gas prices you can't just simply turn the key and turn the knob and put it in neutral it will be locked and you will not be able to push yourself off the side of the road I have went through this situation this is the most dumbest thing I've ever seen. Well I could keep going on and on but I think if you're reading at this point you get the gist. All of newer Dodge vehicles suck and it's not necessarily the engines the engines are actually fairly nice the problems that people have with the engines are people that do retuning and modifications if you leave them alone I really believe you could get up words of over a million miles if he took care of them. It said that I really believe that the people that have built the interiors of these trucks are fashionistas instead of thinking about functionality they're thinking totally about fashion and the looks of something well you know what sexy to me its functionality I'm at the point now to every time I sit inside of a new Dodge truck I cringe every corner I look I can see bullshit.
Sorry I was using voice to text and we all know Google voice to text sucks too.
I have a 2017 ram 1500 big horn 4x4 with the V6 and love it! I was sooo annoyed with the seatbelt dinging all the time and ended up just YouTubing it. You can easily turn it off with a few clicks of the seatbelt. God bless RUclips 😂.
Love my 14 Ram outdoorsman.
A V6 truck is pointless. Half towing capacity. I prefer to future proof. That’s like getting an automatic Corvette. Why? If you prefer a V6 full size “truck”, get a Ridgeline. V6 sounds weak and anemic.
Works for me, the v6, with the zf 8 speed, more reliable the the Hemi, no tick, and 23 hwy, enjoy 14 mpg
Looks like nothing different than 2019 and I much like my v6 Ram1500
You have the ram 1500 v6? I’m looking at buying a 2019 ram 1500 classic v6. Wondering how you like yours
رام سيارة اسطورية 👍👍👍
Hey Ben just a question have you gotten married yet?
Lol
Ben talks like he’s on speed - too fast.
No desire to do the v6 review
💪⬛👍
What a disappointment! Low power and lame ass tires… I’m going back to Ford! 👎
Bye bye erik

@@leedanielson7452 I have never heard him use foul language. He needs to get his hearing checked.
@@billjamison2877 Yes get his Hearing checked and maybe lay off the booze or drugs….😵💫
First
The Ram sucks regardless of engine choices.
It sucks if you don’t know any better…..
@@leedanielson7452 I’ve tried to explain this to you and your flat earth boyfriend king but if you aren’t willing to accept proven mainstream statistics that put Ram as the worst manufacturer in quality then there’s not much point in arguing it right?
@@jeremycook9852 RAM In the latest initial quality Survey came out on top once again…RAM truly is the undisputed king of the truck world…
@@leedanielson7452 initial quality is a useless stat. Go look at predicted reliability then try again. Only truck manufacturer lower than ram is Nissan. And as a whole FIat Chrysler aka ram is consistently the worst major manufacturer in both predicted reliability and worst five year depreciation. But hey at least it’s first when you get the keys right? That’s like saying you were the first to catch herpes so you should get an award for that.
@@jeremycook9852 That’s funny the only problem is you’re sadly misinformed… you obviously don’t know trucks so it would probably be a good idea not to try and spread your ignorance on to others who might fall for your crap…. Have a nice day!
