Truck should be a damn truck not with all the damn electronic shit if i wantef that i woulda bought a licoln town car. I want to hear the turbo not nothing
Elizabeth Gardner I want my truck to have all the new gadgets tf for a long road trip I don’t want a small truck no shitty ac I want a beast of a truck like this ram
You are absolutely the best reviewer by far...clear, concise, and to the point with no added BS....Exactly what I'm looking for in any reviews...Other guys go into too much detail, thus making their reviews totally boring...Thank you.
Man :( I just want a 1/2 ton truck with a manual trans, v8, non electronic shifting 4x4, 2 stout solid axles, steel rims and a radio... not all the extra fancy shit
Once the subprime auto loan bubble pops, maybe they will drop the price. We can hope. $50k for a truck with electrical problems during the initial build is a warranty time bomb waiting to happen. Especially one that so heavily relies on electronics.
R MH lol we got a genius here who thinks 8500k off msrp is the best deal you can find lol. my dealership not long ago gave out 12-13k off msrp during the Ram month while there was a huge event going on around my county.
No truck is Worth 50k pluss. No matter what u put into it. Pricing on vehicles hv got to come down and quality needs to go up. Make a vehicle that will go 500,000 miles pluss.
James Lagnese you can customize it to have a longer bed. 5’7” is standard. I got mine in 6’1” and 32 gal tank with full size cab. Also 8 speed trans is a must
I work construction my f150 has little over 7 ft I can carry 2×4×8 all the material that I need . without it hanging over my tailgate too much. My tool box alone takes up a lot of space. thanks for the reply
You don't have to get the short bed, though it's plenty useful for a lot of folks. My personal preference is the 6'4" because my atv just fits in with the gate closed. If you need more truck bed, get less cab or step up to a 2500 series.
to the people complaining about the shift knob: remember when column mounted high/low beam light stalks first came out? people didnt like them because they were initially unfamiliar technology. but what is going to wear out more: someone stomping on a switch with a 20 30 40 pound leg or someone lightly flipping a switch with their fingers? same principle. you can wither jam a multi link shifter up and down with your arm or lightly twist a fully electronic knob. intrinsically a lightly used rotary electronic knob will far outlast a mechanical shifter
Great looking truck with a ton of options. Ram has stepped up their game these past few years. Probably the best option for someone who Doesn't need high Payload capacity.
The first 2 minutes is a summary of why people who NEED a truck cant efford a new one. Out of curiosity I stopped at a Ford dealership that had over a 100 new trucks and they had 1 that I could find under $40K. Chevrolet used to sell WTs at their dealerships. These trucks normally had AC, AM/FM, automatic transmissions, and a V-6. Basically a fleet type vehicle, but sold to individuals and kept in stock at dealership. Need more of these for people who want a truck as a "second" car.
Dont blame dude...he's just doing the review blame trump, blame the Corporations, and Congress and the rest of your fun loving Shit heads you bow down And suck off
Personally, I would NEVER buy a truck like this and that goes for a GM or Ford truck too. I believe a truck is a TRUCK and I use mine as such. If I wanted all that crap, I'd buy a Lexus.
Then you aint too bright or you need some Q tips for your wax filled ears. A truck is a truck to many and used as such. Nothing dumb about that its called common sense.
I was thinking Cadillac. To each his own, but I agree with you. I had a lone star package on a 1500 Eco diesel. I didn’t use 95 percent of any of the extra junk, I now have a plain Jane tradesman 2500 and love it. If I want to shift into 4wd I have to reach down and manually move the lever, old school style.
So your opinion is that you can't have it all? It's all or nothing? That's the silly part about your statement. IMO it's good to have options available rather than go with the bare minimum for what you need. Extra luxury and more options don't make this any less of a truck. It still has 4x4 and looks like any other pickup truck. In your own words "a truck is a truck" - doesn't matter wtf options it has...
I know it's got a smooth ride and the huge rear seat area is so important for trips with friends or family. They won't be jamming their knees into the front seat. I think its perfect for ski trips or travel to the north in winter time.
Price is entirely driven by demand. These could sell for $30k and they would net massive profits. It's just that they have trouble building enough verse the other way around. Average sale price is at $45k right now. Ram has an easier time than Chevy and Ford because their target market aren't work trucks. They leave the work trucks to the heavy duties. It's mostly people who want to daily a pickup.
no one in their right mind wants to go off roading in that and comes home with dents and scratches. It's good for driving on roads with snow or ice but to really do some off roading i doubt if few or any of these trucks ever go there.
@@cat-lw6kq offroading is a recreational activity, a luxury. I don't know why people seem to think using a vehicle for offroading makes the vehicle valuable considering it's a luxury hobby. I use my new truck to haul dump trailers, and the box is plumb full of tools. I have a headache rack to haul long lumber. I don't go offroad because I just don't, but to me, doing that is just a luxury, like racing
Nice video, but the first 2 minutes reminded me of what is wrong with trucks these days. I really want Ford to re-introduce a new F-100 with the 300 CID I-6 and a standard transmission, and the minimum of options. Give us AC, power brakes, power steering, and a rubber floor mats and monthly payments less than a middle class 1500 sqft house.
I bought a new '17 Ram as stripped as I could find in fact dealer had to find one a couple states away. It was a regular cab, 6 cylinder, 4WD which is what I wanted but it had 2 options I didn't really care about. Customer preference group which is power windows and locks, and the chrome package grille, front rear bumpers. Had 1 option I needed was tow package. That's it. Window sticker was $34K. Paid $29K. Base price of standard cab 4WD that year was $29K. That would be with black grille and bumpers, manual windows, rubber floor mat instead of carpet, no tow package. That was 3 years ago now so probably same stripper truck today is $31K at least and try to find one. Dealers won't stock them...perhaps 1 or 2 white ones for businesses usually but most of the trucks on dealer lots are $40K and up Quad cabs. I'm done buying cars this Ram WILL last me the rest of my driving life. I got the lifetime bumper to bumper every nut and bolt warranty with it that Chrysler doesn't offer any more for $3K extra but I think that is cheap insurance for a lifetime. Hopefully Chrysler doesn't ever fold....
Sebastian York I have...a 2018 rental. All the while I was driving it I wasn't sure whether I was putting myself in gear, turning up the volume in the radio or fan for the A/C. Bad idea if for anything else, it's extremely awkward. Rule of thumb...just because you can do a thing doesn't mean you should do a thing. For me, I can buy a RAM. But, I'd never buy any Dodge POS.
Great video. I like how you zoomed in on all the details with the camera as you were describing them so we can see what features you were describing throughout the video.
Ah, thank you, Tony Witt. We've been working hard on our video production so we're happy you're enjoying it. If you haven't done so already, please subscribe. We can use all the help we can get. LOL Thanks for watching!
Actually look at the 3 compared. They all have one LED lights making the need for smaller light housings. That gave the chance to optimize cooling. With that said, Mopar has held closer to their roots compared to the other brands. I personally disgusted with GM. Ford is ok, but modern/future. Ram has kept is simple and clean as thy always have. Its a truck, not a showcase and if you want every bell and whistle, they do offer it but still hold true to their roots of a classic country design. If you really have an issue with it, then dont buy one as RAM will not go full modern and keep is safe rolling out designs and options people really desire vs the BS crap ford forces upon people.
that’s why they made the 2019 and 2020 classic. Forth gen will always be better than the new style and the demand for continued classic models is showing it
it looks cooler, easier to park and back up, some people use their trucks for towing RVs and don't really need a large truck bed, the only thing I've ever put in mine are bicycles
David I'd get the crew cab with an eight foot bed but it's just too too long. I like the overall look of the crew cab with the standard 6 1/2 foot bed as a multipurpose vehicle more than the short box or 8 foot crew cab.
Manufacturers design around a highway range goal of 400 miles, so figure around 16 MPG or slightly better. I agree that a larger tank would be an improvement and there is a 32 gallon option.
I like everything about this truck except the price and the overall look of the front end. I really like how you reviewed this truck. I'm going to check out your other video's. Nicely done 👌
Love my ‘19 Ram. I have the same one he tested with one change. I went with sport trim and upgraded packages because I don’t like chrome. I also went with the 4x4 off road package, which includes rear diff locker, skid plates, and 3.93 gear ratio. Tows my 30’ camper like a dream! Can’t stand the “off road” sticker though. Looks ridiculous on the truck. I don’t know where they’re averaging 18.6mpg. That must have been highway only. I average 17.8 - 18.1 with my combination driving. Overall, it’s a great truck. The 4x4 works very well, and, with coil springs in the rear, it’s the most comfortable 1/2 ton on the market.
Dodge! Bring back real performance in a half ton short bed, regular cab pickup by stuffing a scat pack 485 horse Hemi with a 6 Speed Manual, and real anti slip differential. AC, decent stereo, and lightweight bucket seats, plus a trailer hitch are all I want as far as options go. Paint mine in B5 Blue without any unnessasary BS and I’d be glad to buy another Dodge, er Ram. We all don’t want to pull 30,000 pounds but many of us want to haul ass!
JDubya Adams You nailed it. My Ram has all the basics (2014 model) i even have a real key. 98000 mi so far with no trouble at all. None of that crap that's going to give problems later on. So i agree with you 100%
brian britsch yea so they don’t care about making it last as long as the older ones, because they know most people will just lease them and get the newest one every year.
871jamie they had one at the dealership when I bought mine. It was a sport model with a 6.4 he'll special option, it cost 3500 more. It's just different heads and throttle body for the most part as the 5.7.
The comments in here crack me up. First of all this isn't the only Ram offering. If you want a work truck then get a lower end Ram with a large bed that you don't mind beating up. But if you want something that gets decent gas mileage, that has the luxury you want in a higher end vehicle and only use the truck for hauling light loads and towing travel trailers every once in a while, then get this Laramie. Man, guys use your damn heads.
New brake pads will sometimes smell in their first few drives. There is a chemical and physical reaction occurring where the compressed pad heats up as you brake and becomes all one piece.
Yeah man I’m keeping my 96 ram I think and I’m just gonna drop my cash on a g wagon this year and go off-roading in it. I wanted a newer work truck but why? I can’t see using any of these for work from fords to Chevy to dodge they all seem like expensive problems waiting to happen in the field
asmo: You aren't the only one. The whole pontoon fender concept wasn't necessarily the most attractive look ever, but these days the pickup front ends and all morphing into the same design. The Nissans look like the Fords, the GMs look like the Dodges... I would never buy a vehicle just for the styling, but I do miss the days when you could actually tell one from another without looking at the logos.
We still run 7.3s and 6.0s (Ford diesels) and they are loved by everyone here because the simplicity and they are workhorses. We got a few Chevy's (1500 frame) and some Dodge diesels. My point is, no one's making a work truck no more and we are using old tech and trucks because of that reason. We need to bring the early 2000s back so we can have the best of both worlds. Not to much tech, and built to work. Not this pretty boy Mercedes short bed looking truck.
10-20k needed to fix this, after 3-4 years of fantastic performance. The thing has Italian high tech crap used in alfa romeo ,Mercedes and BMW very expensive cutting edge technology, always goes to crap after few years
I'm a Ram guy, but that isn't a pick-up truck. It's a SUV with the rear top cut off. If you got the money to burn then great for you, however the lower end models have useless feature in it same as this one. Pick-up truck = work truck. Disappointed Ram keeps pushing high features on all its models (including the 2500 and 3500).
You can still get a brand new bare bones 2017 model Ram truck for $26,495 or a new 2018 for $27,095. - and those are the MSRP sticker prices. You can probably get them a few grand cheaper if you find a good dealership. www.ramtrucks.com/lineup.html?app=bmo
Agreed Jake, they aren't really work trucks. I guess that is not what people want, because you don't often see the base model regular cabs on lots anymore. Quick check on AT shows less than 30 base model reg cab pickups within 500 miles of me for sale. And some of those are not true base models... they are the reg cab short box blacked out boy racer trucks with 20" rims and Pirelli Scorpions from factory.... not work trucks.
Zachary: You could certainly order a base model with what you want in it... but then you'll pay full sticker price. Where I live I haven't seen any base models on lots... no end to the mid and upper range crew cab/leather/nav loaded models, but next to no base units. Is that because not many people buy them or because the dealers don't make enough money off them or because the manufacturers aren't making many? If it's truly supply and demand, then there should be enough supply to meet demand... which it seems there isn't.
I never buy off the lot. I either order what I want, or I hire a broker to find it for me. It also saves me a lot of money because brokers buy lots of cars every year and get volume discounts that regular customers couldn't even dream of. When I bought my 4Runner, the best deal I could negotiate was $41,000, but a broker got me the exact same vehicle for $36,000.
The broker thing is an interesting idea, thanks. Hadn't considered that. Do you pay the broker a fee as well or do they "keep" some of the savings they negotiate for you (IE: you pay $36k to the broker but they only pay $34,500 to the dealer for the car)?
Good God the bed just keeps getting shorter and shorter the next thing you know it'll look like a Hummer truck you got to have at least 6 foot bed better yet and 8 foot or else it is a car
I bought my 2019 Laramie 4x4 with mud/snow rims/tires, towing package, rubber floor mats and a 2" lift kit already installed. I really like this truck and have had very few problems with almost 20,000 miles on it already. I also like that the center consul folds up into making a bench seat in the front.
Though I am not looking for a RAM truck to buy down the road, but this is one great truck. On top of that, Chris your review is excellent, very thorough and well narrated.
Thank you, Mody Khan. We appreciate your comments. There's plenty more where that came from so take a look (and subscribe) when you have a chance. LOL Thanks for watching!
We've done quite a few reviews on Tundras in the past, but our most recent coverage was an overview of the Tundra XSP about a year ago and our most recent review was on the 2016 Tundra 1794 about 2 years ago. The most recent SR5 we reviewed was a 2014, so I guess we're due for another!
The thing that bothers me with these loaded up "yuppie" trucks is, what are they going to be like in 5to 10 years? Imean, everybody has seen the lincolns, caddys, mercedes, and other luxury vehicles and what they look like and the electrical probs they have and seem to get when they get older.
It's a problem. But it might not be the original owner's problem. Studies show that truck owners are getting to be like commuter car owners... very few own the truck long enough to complete the original financing contract. Roll that financing over, then find out four vehicles later that you still owe more than the original purchase price of the first one. Oy.
I don't get why people complain about the shifter knob. I don't want a giant steak knife handle in the middle of my console taking up all my space. I'll leave the model T shifter technology to the Fords and GMs of the world.
I don't like the console shifter at all but I really like the column shift in my 2010 Ram and don't feel it takes up any space. I'm used to shifting my truck by feel and not having to look at an indicator to see what gear I'm in but I love the new Ram 1500 so I'd give the dial a shot.
My first car had a push button automatic with a park bar. The shift knob took a little getting use too. But the rest of the truck with my Ram Boxes is so Great it's worth getting used too. And it does free up the console for extra storage.
Took me about 1 day to get used to. I’m totally sold on the convenience factor. Anything else available in a truck doing what I expect a truck to is outdated anymore. I’ll save the power shifting for a hobby car should I ever decide to get one. Also, I’ve purchased two brand new trucks in my lifetime with manual shifting (one was a factory order). Just not needed for how I use a truck.
Better and better depending on your outlook. When people who don’t need trucks buy trucks, they become more car like, and too expensive. 50K for any pick up is ridiculous. If it doesn’t have a clutch, I’m not interested.
Joshua Taylor cool, but I don’t have use for a diesel, I’d like a 1/2 ton, V-8 gas, 5 or 6 speed manual, and 4X4 for $25K, but that truck doesn’t exist. It did in 2005.
Like the video I had my 2019 ram Laramie for about two months now and I love it hell and I'm not gonna use it to haul anything it not a work truck for me hell being 6"9 I went this way with the ram laramie for the room well anyways keep up the good work
Marcus bigdaddy Only 6'9"? I'm 6'10" and fit in my 2014..... barely! My Chevy had more room up front but it was an '02. They just keep making them smaller to fit more useless crap under the dash!
1987jeepyj that’s true, with their F-450. The base model XL without options costs $60,249 while the top-of-the-line Limited trim also without options costs $96,749!
Out of the three trucks it's lost the least amount of weight, I would say in terms of exterior design it's not as good looking as the new GMC Sierra, but the interior is definitely top of the competitors in terms of design and material quality.
What's going on, Justin Bouche? Long time no write! The driving characteristics are what stood out the most for us. Very controlled and quiet ride. Good to hear from you again!
"Pickups" are looking more like generic half-scale semis, & have more electronic shit in them than even Japanese tuners ever dreamed of having. Add in the ridiculous prices (artificially increased even more by insanely long financing periods), and a new (non-fleet) pickup is most often either a status symbol, or a soccer mom's "safety" pipedream. Trucks (& cars) are going to shit now faster than they were in the late 1990s-esrly 2000s, at least as far as actual workers who actually use them for actual work are concerned. They're overpriced, under-performing sacks of electronic shit. And they all look like there are only 3 models. There's the F150/Silverado/Sierra/Titan/Tacoma, the Tundra/Ram, & the Colorado/Canyon/Ranger-to-come. Unbelievably, styling has gotten *worse* since the 1990s instead of better. And don't even get me started on the insane sizes & ride heights of new pickups. It's sad that soyboys & butch broads finally managed to destroy the pickup for normals.
You forgot to mention the bull shit warranties that are given with these more expensive price tags as well. We're getting raped from a customer service standpoint because they exploit all these fancy gadgets and convenience that younger ppl in my age group are bringing into demand
The Dodge Ram... er I mean the Ram Ram, has lost all of its distinct styling over the past decade and now pretty much has that same generic look every other truck has.
My 2014 Laramie is already a spectacular, awesome truck. Can’t wait to move up to 2019 this time going for ecoDiesel. Simply fantastic trucks. Only complaints: alpine stereo needs to be louder, too much bass emphasis, and it needs a cabin air filter. The Hemi is absolutely the best engine!
Very nice review, appreciated the camera work so I had to give a sub. Damn do I wish there were more trucks in the Everyman price range though... 50k+ for a pickup, good lord...
Those big ugly knobs for the radio or heater are ugly as sin. They don’t need to be work glove friendly Dodge. Look at this truck, nobody is taking this to the job site
Amen brother. Had an 83 (last year for the F100) with a 3 speed on the column. IMHO, the 300 CID was one of the best engines ever made. My father bought it so I would have something to drive to school (20+ miles away). Think he paid $8500 new for it, and with all the highway miles it did mid 20s on MPG. 35 years later, new trucks have a hard time matching that.
Because I was an 18 year old idiot in 1985. Thought I wanted a car when I moved back into a city. Miss that truck? Saw it about 5 years ago sitting in a parking lot. If I ever see it again Im going to leave a note on the window with contact info in case the owner wants to sell it.
Bought 2019 Ram 1500 Sport version 7 months ago and driven 10000kms so far. Not a single problem. A very nicely balanced and fully loaded truck in its class. Really good decision made for my family.
I stopped watching when he said “heavy duty shock absorbers” and zoomed in on the coil spring
I've been wondering if someone was going to mention that. I thought I was the only one
yep!
I couldn't stop laughing when he said that
😂
Y'all do realize that the shocks are mounted immediately in front of the coil springs on this truck, right?
All pickups right now are overpriced too much money!!!!
Truck should be a damn truck not with all the damn electronic shit if i wantef that i woulda bought a licoln town car. I want to hear the turbo not nothing
Elizabeth Gardner You can buy a basic truck, you basic bitch.
Caleb Wagner Guadalupe said a truck...not a car... there is a difference.
I bought one of these 2 years old for $24k with 30k miles,..... you just have to buy something slightly used and you'll do fine
Elizabeth Gardner I want my truck to have all the new gadgets tf for a long road trip I don’t want a small truck no shitty ac I want a beast of a truck like this ram
You are absolutely the best reviewer by far...clear, concise, and to the point with no added BS....Exactly what I'm looking for in any reviews...Other guys go into too much detail, thus making their reviews totally boring...Thank you.
Man :( I just want a 1/2 ton truck with a manual trans, v8, non electronic shifting 4x4, 2 stout solid axles, steel rims and a radio... not all the extra fancy shit
KaptainKoolz you’ll only find that pre 2000
Spencer Travis guess I’ll just have to dream
That would be why im driving my 1994 gmc 2500 4 speed still lol
KaptainKoolz These bitch ass people with ass warmers haha
MrBadApple999 I would call them bitches too if I couldn’t afford them
once it goes 10-15k off msrp this will be an awesome buy.
Mr_ NutZ at least 15k.
R MH and your the type to walk in and just pay what the dealer wants... I got 12k off sticker on my 2500
Once the subprime auto loan bubble pops, maybe they will drop the price. We can hope. $50k for a truck with electrical problems during the initial build is a warranty time bomb waiting to happen. Especially one that so heavily relies on electronics.
R MH so since you only got 8500 that makes you the best negotiator SMH people are getting 10-14 off on rams sticker regularly
R MH lol we got a genius here who thinks 8500k off msrp is the best deal you can find lol. my dealership not long ago gave out 12-13k off msrp during the Ram month while there was a huge event going on around my county.
I just bought a Longhorn and I think your review is spot on!
No truck is Worth 50k pluss. No matter what u put into it.
Pricing on vehicles hv got to come down and quality needs to go up.
Make a vehicle that will go 500,000 miles pluss.
Bill Peirce buy a Tacoma lol
Sorry, i don't speak welfare
Yeah but then they don't make money on the parts when shit starts breaking, which they design it to do after 100,000kms
Brenny627 Tacomas are literally the same prices. A fully loaded ram and fully loaded Taco are nearly the same price. Like within 5k
I got a 450 for 85k msrp and it makes my work easier. Totally worth it
If the beds get any shorter, it'll be useless. Oh yeah, it already is.
Ram has been using the 5'7 box for years. Do some research.
Yup I hate how more and more trucks are making short beds now no room for what a truck is intended for
James Lagnese you can customize it to have a longer bed. 5’7” is standard. I got mine in 6’1” and 32 gal tank with full size cab. Also 8 speed trans is a must
I work construction my f150 has little over 7 ft I can carry 2×4×8 all the material that I need . without it hanging over my tailgate too much. My tool box alone takes up a lot of space. thanks for the reply
You don't have to get the short bed, though it's plenty useful for a lot of folks. My personal preference is the 6'4" because my atv just fits in with the gate closed. If you need more truck bed, get less cab or step up to a 2500 series.
Chevrolet is giving away a free dog with the purchase of a new vehicle. .. its so you wont have to walk home alone !!
Mike Norton
I owned back to back GM’s. I had to walk home from both. My dogs were at home.
@Rhetorical Answer Right! The sheet metal is thinner than aluminum foil. You can't even lean on it without causing major damage.
Lol 🤣🤣🤣
Mike Norton you way misspelled Ford 😉
good one!!!!
to the people complaining about the shift knob:
remember when column mounted high/low beam light stalks first came out? people didnt like them because they were initially unfamiliar technology. but what is going to wear out more: someone stomping on a switch with a 20 30 40 pound leg or someone lightly flipping a switch with their fingers? same principle. you can wither jam a multi link shifter up and down with your arm or lightly twist a fully electronic knob. intrinsically a lightly used rotary electronic knob will far outlast a mechanical shifter
Try having the 4x4 and shift knob in the same location then tell me how you like it.. Go to put it in park and you engage 4x4 by accident.
Yeah we all have to be reminded that we're doing laundry every time we get into that truck
amazing review. nice simple and quick. unlike some of these other channels that take up to 20min+
Great looking truck with a ton of options. Ram has stepped up their game these past few years. Probably the best option for someone who Doesn't need high Payload capacity.
The maintenance when all of that starts to go down will be expensive.
probably around 30K miles, so still under warranty. But when the warranty is up, definitely sell this truck!
Or sell it just before the warranty expires.
I'll be a Craigslist special in 15 years. Dodge trucks seem to get destroyed in Michigan faster then any other truck or car I've seen.
Just lease instead of purchasing. Always under warranty and possible lower monthly payment.
The sheet metal is thinner than a beer can. That will be the first thing to fail. And there is no fix for that.
This is so far the best car/truck review video, he explains everything about the truck! Great video
Thank you very much, Ruvim Bond. We truly appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching!
@@AutoAcademics thank you for the great video
The first 2 minutes is a summary of why people who NEED a truck cant efford a new one. Out of curiosity I stopped at a Ford dealership that had over a 100 new trucks and they had 1 that I could find under $40K. Chevrolet used to sell WTs at their dealerships. These trucks normally had AC, AM/FM, automatic transmissions, and a V-6. Basically a fleet type vehicle, but sold to individuals and kept in stock at dealership. Need more of these for people who want a truck as a "second" car.
We need tailgate warmers wrapped in leather, a full-on masseuse chair, and a hook to hang our purses.
Stylish floor mats? Really??
Ram's words... not ours. Thanks for watching, Bruce Wayne!
@@AutoAcademics so if ram paid you to jump off a bridge you would?
Goes great with that Cappuccino!🤦🥴🤡👎
Dont blame dude...he's just doing the review blame trump, blame the Corporations, and Congress and the rest of your fun loving Shit heads you bow down And suck off
Personally, I would NEVER buy a truck like this and that goes for a GM or Ford truck too. I believe a truck is a TRUCK and I use mine as such. If I wanted all that crap, I'd buy a Lexus.

I find the style of these videos interesting. the way the guy talks as well as his faster paced B-roll reminds me of early 2000s TV infomercials
I know it's got a smooth ride and the huge rear seat area is so important for trips with friends or family. They won't be jamming their knees into the front seat. I think its perfect for ski trips or travel to the north in winter time.
Great review... Love your camera work with the dynamic shots. Keep that up
Thank you, FrankypankyV8.
That price is insanity.
Terry Dolphin Its still cheaper than the equivalent pos chevy.
Price is entirely driven by demand. These could sell for $30k and they would net massive profits. It's just that they have trouble building enough verse the other way around. Average sale price is at $45k right now. Ram has an easier time than Chevy and Ford because their target market aren't work trucks. They leave the work trucks to the heavy duties. It's mostly people who want to daily a pickup.

Not really. It all comes down to tariffs and trade agreements.

Current day trucks have the highest towing and bed weight capacities and are much safer in both being in and avoiding accidents.

Best review I’ve found so far on the new trucks. Nice job.
We appreciate your comment, Mark Smith. Thanks for watching!
Even as a gearhead, I'm new to your channel. Consider me a big fan already. Keep up the good work.
No one seems to use a truck as a "truck" anymore. I rarely see any of the trucks on the road hauling or towing anything. Sad!
You mean a pickup
With large sedans missing from the market, crew cab trucks are the best alternative... minivans will rob you of your soul...
no one in their right mind wants to go off roading in that and comes home with dents and scratches. It's good for driving on roads with snow or ice but to really do some off roading i doubt if few or any of these trucks ever go there.
@@cat-lw6kq offroading is a recreational activity, a luxury. I don't know why people seem to think using a vehicle for offroading makes the vehicle valuable considering it's a luxury hobby. I use my new truck to haul dump trailers, and the box is plumb full of tools. I have a headache rack to haul long lumber. I don't go offroad because I just don't, but to me, doing that is just a luxury, like racing
Truck has a new purpose where I live. They are being used as commuter tanks.
Nice video, but the first 2 minutes reminded me of what is wrong with trucks these days. I really want Ford to re-introduce a new F-100 with the 300 CID I-6 and a standard transmission, and the minimum of options. Give us AC, power brakes, power steering, and a rubber floor mats and monthly payments less than a middle class 1500 sqft house.
I bought a new '17 Ram as stripped as I could find in fact dealer had to find one a couple states away. It was a regular cab, 6 cylinder, 4WD which is what I wanted but it had 2 options I didn't really care about. Customer preference group which is power windows and locks, and the chrome package grille, front rear bumpers. Had 1 option I needed was tow package. That's it. Window sticker was $34K. Paid $29K. Base price of standard cab 4WD that year was $29K. That would be with black grille and bumpers, manual windows, rubber floor mat instead of carpet, no tow package. That was 3 years ago now so probably same stripper truck today is $31K at least and try to find one. Dealers won't stock them...perhaps 1 or 2 white ones for businesses usually but most of the trucks on dealer lots are $40K and up Quad cabs. I'm done buying cars this Ram WILL last me the rest of my driving life. I got the lifetime bumper to bumper every nut and bolt warranty with it that Chrysler doesn't offer any more for $3K extra but I think that is cheap insurance for a lifetime. Hopefully Chrysler doesn't ever fold....
I hate the knob shift
James Pelletier have you even driven one. Its perfect
James Pelletier that's the whole reason I got my Ford rather than the Ram. I'm NOT having any part of that shift knob
Sebastian York I have...a 2018 rental. All the while I was driving it I wasn't sure whether I was putting myself in gear, turning up the volume in the radio or fan for the A/C. Bad idea if for anything else, it's extremely awkward. Rule of thumb...just because you can do a thing doesn't mean you should do a thing. For me, I can buy a RAM. But, I'd never buy any Dodge POS.
PBR Streetgang wow u turned a year old joke into a paragraph
The knob is only for the 9 speed trans. You can get a regular shifter if you buy the standard 6 speed.
You nailed this review in the first 3 mins, covering the features and options! Best review out of 30 reviews I just viewed. Stay with this script.
Thank you, Philly Anchor! We appreciate your comments. Thanks for watching!

They finally got rid of that, outdated antenna, on the passenger side fender. Nicee! 👌👌👌
Ram made some nice improvements to this one, Lelel0. Thanks for watching!
And the ugly front end
You can do that with any vehicle. I did an antenna delete on my 85 Chevy truck with an inside windshield stick on antenna
Fantastic review my brother!
Solid review that cuts to the chase. Subscribed.
I hate the new front end look. Now dodge looks just like all the others. Nothing unique, just boring. Mopar what have you done... :(
Actually look at the 3 compared. They all have one LED lights making the need for smaller light housings. That gave the chance to optimize cooling. With that said, Mopar has held closer to their roots compared to the other brands. I personally disgusted with GM. Ford is ok, but modern/future. Ram has kept is simple and clean as thy always have. Its a truck, not a showcase and if you want every bell and whistle, they do offer it but still hold true to their roots of a classic country design. If you really have an issue with it, then dont buy one as RAM will not go full modern and keep is safe rolling out designs and options people really desire vs the BS crap ford forces upon people.
Yep the tossed that unique Ram hood and front end style. Don’t like it. I have a 2011 big horn in excellent condition and I believe it looks better.
that’s why they made the 2019 and 2020 classic. Forth gen will always be better than the new style and the demand for continued classic models is showing it
I gotta have the 6' plus bed. Why would I want the 5'7 ?
it looks cooler, easier to park and back up, some people use their trucks for towing RVs and don't really need a large truck bed, the only thing I've ever put in mine are bicycles
Good_Dawg 😂😂😂
All mid size beds should be at least 6 1/2 foot long
David I'd get the crew cab with an eight foot bed but it's just too too long. I like the overall look of the crew cab with the standard 6 1/2 foot bed as a multipurpose vehicle more than the short box or 8 foot crew cab.
David 8 foot bed still exist. They haven't got rid of them. I'm in the market for a truck and all I see is 8 foot beds
"26 gallon fuel tank" like that's something to even mention. That's not a lot of fuel for a full size pickup.
Manufacturers design around a highway range goal of 400 miles, so figure around 16 MPG or slightly better. I agree that a larger tank would be an improvement and there is a 32 gallon option.
It was good to finaly see a educated good truck review with stats, Good job dude keep it up!!
Thank you, joshua van scoyk. We appreciate your comments. Thanks for watching!

Smart move.
If you don't own stock in a company, go with the best for the money. If they can't step it up, let them go bankrupt again.
Ram really stepped it up. Nice job on the review man.
Thank you, Bandit93gt. We appreciate your comment!
I like everything about this truck except the price and the overall look of the front end. I really like how you reviewed this truck. I'm going to check out your other video's. Nicely done 👌
Love my ‘19 Ram. I have the same one he tested with one change. I went with sport trim and upgraded packages because I don’t like chrome. I also went with the 4x4 off road package, which includes rear diff locker, skid plates, and 3.93 gear ratio. Tows my 30’ camper like a dream! Can’t stand the “off road” sticker though. Looks ridiculous on the truck.
I don’t know where they’re averaging 18.6mpg. That must have been highway only. I average 17.8 - 18.1 with my combination driving.
Overall, it’s a great truck. The 4x4 works very well, and, with coil springs in the rear, it’s the most comfortable 1/2 ton on the market.
Sounds like you have a sweet package, TwoGoatsRacing. Enjoy your truck and thanks for watching!
Dodge! Bring back real performance in a half ton short bed, regular cab pickup by stuffing a scat pack 485 horse Hemi with a 6 Speed Manual, and real anti slip differential. AC, decent stereo, and lightweight bucket seats, plus a trailer hitch are all I want as far as options go.
Paint mine in B5 Blue without any unnessasary BS and I’d be glad to buy another Dodge, er Ram.
We all don’t want to pull 30,000 pounds but many of us want to haul ass!
JDubya Adams You nailed it. My Ram has all the basics (2014 model) i even have a real key. 98000 mi so far with no trouble at all. None of that crap that's going to give problems later on. So i agree with you 100%
Yeah, manufacturers should start bringing out a 'Man's edition'..or just use the old designs again..
Remote tailgate? Seriously? How stupid. Its a truck ffs! No reason for it to be that expensive. That goes for every truck on the market these days.
They must have asked ladies what they want in a truck.
Haha, funny truth
@Rhetorical Answer it's called a trademan buddy
@@MomboJumbo shh there to dumb to do research
Curtis Fink that’s why you see more and more women drive these new trucks.

What happened to trucks?
They drastically improved and became more versatile.
one word my friend... 'Consumerism'. personally I blame Liberals. But thats just me, I blame liberals for everything. haha
Rog er trucks don’t exist anymore hahaha
Trucks have become the modern luxury sedan, the auto manufacturers are just making the consumers happy because most modern families can’t fit in cars
brian britsch yea so they don’t care about making it last as long as the older ones, because they know most people will just lease them and get the newest one every year.
I wish they’d offer the 6.4 Hemi in the 1500, then I’d buy one. I love my 3500 Cummins though!
871jamie they do!
Special order tho
Andrew67777 since when? I’ve only seen it in the 2500 and 3500.
871jamie they had one at the dealership when I bought mine. It was a sport model with a 6.4 he'll special option, it cost 3500 more. It's just different heads and throttle body for the most part as the 5.7.
Andrew67777 well I have a brand new 3500 with the Cummins and a new camaro so I won’t be buying anything else for a while. Lol
All I see is a bunch of whiners in the comments
Looking in the mirror, huh?
DoctorLarry that made no sense, but okay
Asv I agree
I guess I'm whining cause man these damn trucks are so expensive!!! Sorry to sound like a whiner but dude come on 55gs for a work horse damn!!!!!
@@Resistance_is_Futile01 you could always just buy a horse. Have you thought about that? That would be awesome. Haha
The comments in here crack me up. First of all this isn't the only Ram offering. If you want a work truck then get a lower end Ram with a large bed that you don't mind beating up. But if you want something that gets decent gas mileage, that has the luxury you want in a higher end vehicle and only use the truck for hauling light loads and towing travel trailers every once in a while, then get this Laramie. Man, guys use your damn heads.
New brake pads will sometimes smell in their first few drives. There is a chemical and physical reaction occurring where the compressed pad heats up as you brake and becomes all one piece.
Crazy price and so-so quality. I don’t get it.
if i wanted a pavement princess with all bells and whistles to blow my money on, i'd buy a benz
It is a Benz, Daimler owns Ram now.
Speaking of an expensive car with horrible reliability...
@@tybirous3417 No they don't. Fiat owns Chrysler, and RAM is part of Chrysler.
Go ahead no one is stopping you
Yeah man I’m keeping my 96 ram I think and I’m just gonna drop my cash on a g wagon this year and go off-roading in it. I wanted a newer work truck but why? I can’t see using any of these for work from fords to Chevy to dodge they all seem like expensive problems waiting to happen in the field
Is it me? but i miss the old ram look from the the 2002's
asmodeuszv yes, it's you.
asmo: You aren't the only one. The whole pontoon fender concept wasn't necessarily the most attractive look ever, but these days the pickup front ends and all morphing into the same design. The Nissans look like the Fords, the GMs look like the Dodges... I would never buy a vehicle just for the styling, but I do miss the days when you could actually tell one from another without looking at the logos.
2002-2008
I liked everything from 2000 to 2018. These new 2019s look like wannabe Fords or a Honda truck or something. Can't stand the new Ram Style.
I just bought a 2002 dodge ram, love it
I just bought one and I love it!
Congrats on your new truck, Sid sharma! Thanks for watching!
I currently have a 2014 1500 sport. One thing pisses me off the most is how do they allow a vehicle not be equipped with a in cabin air filter
My 7.3 long bed is 18 years old and I ain’t Gettn rid of it anytime soon for any of these bs new fancy overpriced city boy trucks
Deathstroke 0331 always you dudes in the comments with your old shitty rusted out truck that you think is the greatest thing to grace the earth lmao.
@@savvyairsoft2408 built better, stronger, and last longer...
We still run 7.3s and 6.0s (Ford diesels) and they are loved by everyone here because the simplicity and they are workhorses. We got a few Chevy's (1500 frame) and some Dodge diesels. My point is, no one's making a work truck no more and we are using old tech and trucks because of that reason. We need to bring the early 2000s back so we can have the best of both worlds. Not to much tech, and built to work. Not this pretty boy Mercedes short bed looking truck.
10-20k needed to fix this, after 3-4 years of fantastic performance. The thing has Italian high tech crap used in alfa romeo ,Mercedes and BMW very expensive cutting edge technology, always goes to crap after few years
Guess you have no idea what you are talking about.
I would like to see what is said now that the honey moon is over ,27000 miles tires junk , can not fill the gas tank keeps shutting off?.
Man that tag line had me all the way to the end wondering what the point was, good job 👍🏽
We appreciate you watching, espaghetti99!
18.6 mpg? In your dreams.
I get that in mine but thats mostly highway driving, around town it drops quick
@@nottouch19 I used to get 18.5 driving for Lyft in the city with my 2016 F165.
@@blackericdenice i believe that, i average about 16.2 in the city
I'm a Ram guy, but that isn't a pick-up truck. It's a SUV with the rear top cut off. If you got the money to burn then great for you, however the lower end models have useless feature in it same as this one. Pick-up truck = work truck. Disappointed Ram keeps pushing high features on all its models (including the 2500 and 3500).
You can still get a brand new bare bones 2017 model Ram truck for $26,495 or a new 2018 for $27,095. - and those are the MSRP sticker prices. You can probably get them a few grand cheaper if you find a good dealership.
www.ramtrucks.com/lineup.html?app=bmo
Agreed Jake, they aren't really work trucks. I guess that is not what people want, because you don't often see the base model regular cabs on lots anymore. Quick check on AT shows less than 30 base model reg cab pickups within 500 miles of me for sale. And some of those are not true base models... they are the reg cab short box blacked out boy racer trucks with 20" rims and Pirelli Scorpions from factory.... not work trucks.
Zachary: You could certainly order a base model with what you want in it... but then you'll pay full sticker price. Where I live I haven't seen any base models on lots... no end to the mid and upper range crew cab/leather/nav loaded models, but next to no base units.
Is that because not many people buy them or because the dealers don't make enough money off them or because the manufacturers aren't making many?
If it's truly supply and demand, then there should be enough supply to meet demand... which it seems there isn't.
I never buy off the lot. I either order what I want, or I hire a broker to find it for me. It also saves me a lot of money because brokers buy lots of cars every year and get volume discounts that regular customers couldn't even dream of. When I bought my 4Runner, the best deal I could negotiate was $41,000, but a broker got me the exact same vehicle for $36,000.
The broker thing is an interesting idea, thanks. Hadn't considered that. Do you pay the broker a fee as well or do they "keep" some of the savings they negotiate for you (IE: you pay $36k to the broker but they only pay $34,500 to the dealer for the car)?
Good God the bed just keeps getting shorter and shorter the next thing you know it'll look like a Hummer truck you got to have at least 6 foot bed better yet and 8 foot or else it is a car
I bought my 2019 Laramie 4x4 with mud/snow rims/tires, towing package, rubber floor mats and a 2" lift kit already installed. I really like this truck and have had very few problems with almost 20,000 miles on it already. I also like that the center consul folds up into making a bench seat in the front.
Nice! Enjoy your truck, Netsurfer S, and thanks for watching!
Though I am not looking for a RAM truck to buy down the road, but this is one great truck. On top of that, Chris your review is excellent, very thorough and well narrated.
Thank you, Mody Khan. We appreciate your comments. There's plenty more where that came from so take a look (and subscribe) when you have a chance. LOL Thanks for watching!
Thanks for a quick response. Have you done any reviews on Toyota Tundra especially 2018 SR5 Trim :)?
We've done quite a few reviews on Tundras in the past, but our most recent coverage was an overview of the Tundra XSP about a year ago and our most recent review was on the 2016 Tundra 1794 about 2 years ago. The most recent SR5 we reviewed was a 2014, so I guess we're due for another!
And what middle class, blue collar working man is actually going to buy this truck to use for work?? At over $50K, it's absurd!!
Thousands of them will.
Then get the Big Horn or Tradesman, get a quad cab.
A fool is always parted from his money.
People who will pay $750-1000 a month for this overpriced truck.
The higher end is more for people who make good money
The thing that bothers me with these loaded up "yuppie" trucks is, what are they going to be like in 5to 10 years? Imean, everybody has seen the lincolns, caddys, mercedes, and other luxury vehicles and what they look like and the electrical probs they have and seem to get when they get older.
It's a problem. But it might not be the original owner's problem. Studies show that truck owners are getting to be like commuter car owners... very few own the truck long enough to complete the original financing contract.
Roll that financing over, then find out four vehicles later that you still owe more than the original purchase price of the first one. Oy.
I don't get why people complain about the shifter knob. I don't want a giant steak knife handle in the middle of my console taking up all my space. I'll leave the model T shifter technology to the Fords and GMs of the world.
Zayne Agreed. I don't get it.
I don't like the console shifter at all but I really like the column shift in my 2010 Ram and don't feel it takes up any space. I'm used to shifting my truck by feel and not having to look at an indicator to see what gear I'm in but I love the new Ram 1500 so I'd give the dial a shot.
My first car had a push button automatic with a park bar. The shift knob took a little getting use too. But the rest of the truck with my Ram Boxes is so Great it's worth getting used too. And it does free up the console for extra storage.
Took me about 1 day to get used to. I’m totally sold on the convenience factor. Anything else available in a truck doing what I expect a truck to is outdated anymore. I’ll save the power shifting for a hobby car should I ever decide to get one. Also, I’ve purchased two brand new trucks in my lifetime with manual shifting (one was a factory order). Just not needed for how I use a truck.
@Zayne Exactly. If it's not a manual transmission, then I don't want an auto shifter taking its place. Dash knob or "old school" column shifter then.
i thought the touchscreen was bigger did they change it or is it for another model?
Nice job on the video! A very intuitive description of everything.
Thank you, Steve Cole! We appreciate your comments. Thanks for watching!
Better and better depending on your outlook. When people who don’t need trucks buy trucks, they become more car like, and too expensive. 50K for any pick up is ridiculous. If it doesn’t have a clutch, I’m not interested.
Sunny Deng I don’t need all the gingerbread though. I’d be content with an old farm truck, they’re rugged, get the job done, and I can fix it myself.
Sunny Deng but with a manual?
Sunny Deng exactly
Sunny, Ram 2500/3500s can be ordered with 6 speed manual transmissions.
Joshua Taylor cool, but I don’t have use for a diesel, I’d like a 1/2 ton, V-8 gas, 5 or 6 speed manual, and 4X4 for $25K, but that truck doesn’t exist. It did in 2005.
Like the video I had my 2019 ram Laramie for about two months now and I love it hell and I'm not gonna use it to haul anything it not a work truck for me hell being 6"9 I went this way with the ram laramie for the room well anyways keep up the good work
Marcus bigdaddy
Only 6'9"? I'm 6'10" and fit in my 2014..... barely! My Chevy had more room up front but it was an '02. They just keep making them smaller to fit more useless crap under the dash!
Fiat owns Chrysler which owns ram. So clearly this vehicle will have issues down the road. 😂
Haaha. BMW and Mercedes are worse..

Rams are actually pretty good, especially with air suspension. No other Pickups have it. I'll leave it at that.
That's what Jeeps are for.
Wow... are we up to $80k yet??😂
DustyCowdog they will all be 100k soon, with lots of fancy electronics to wear out quickly.
Bald Eagle Hahahaha... yer right. Nice vid , by the way!
DustyCowdog fords been there
1987jeepyj that’s true, with their F-450. The base model XL without options costs $60,249 while the top-of-the-line Limited trim also without options costs $96,749!
Out of the three trucks it's lost the least amount of weight, I would say in terms of exterior design it's not as good looking as the new GMC Sierra, but the interior is definitely top of the competitors in terms of design and material quality.
What's going on, Justin Bouche? Long time no write! The driving characteristics are what stood out the most for us. Very controlled and quiet ride. Good to hear from you again!

Where is the 48kw battery? AutoLine was saying it was being mated to an electric in 2019
I hadn’t seen any of your videos. Good review man!
All the trucks are looking the same now days... you used to be able to glance at a truck and know the maker. This looks like a Toyota Tundra to me.
Doesnt look like a Tundra at all..
"Pickups" are looking more like generic half-scale semis, & have more electronic shit in them than even Japanese tuners ever dreamed of having. Add in the ridiculous prices (artificially increased even more by insanely long financing periods), and a new (non-fleet) pickup is most often either a status symbol, or a soccer mom's "safety" pipedream. Trucks (& cars) are going to shit now faster than they were in the late 1990s-esrly 2000s, at least as far as actual workers who actually use them for actual work are concerned. They're overpriced, under-performing sacks of electronic shit. And they all look like there are only 3 models. There's the F150/Silverado/Sierra/Titan/Tacoma, the Tundra/Ram, & the Colorado/Canyon/Ranger-to-come. Unbelievably, styling has gotten *worse* since the 1990s instead of better. And don't even get me started on the insane sizes & ride heights of new pickups. It's sad that soyboys & butch broads finally managed to destroy the pickup for normals.
JC Denton boy stop,I do HVAC work every day, and I use everything in my truck,get with the times and stop showing your age....
You forgot to mention the bull shit warranties that are given with these more expensive price tags as well. We're getting raped from a customer service standpoint because they exploit all these fancy gadgets and convenience that younger ppl in my age group are bringing into demand
JC Denton you are spot on.
JC Denton B-b-but muh seat warmers. Muh chrome!
RanMan 7 pfft real men become pipefitters
The Dodge Ram... er I mean the Ram Ram, has lost all of its distinct styling over the past decade and now pretty much has that same generic look every other truck has.
Stephen Shelton that’s why I purchased the Classic 2019
My 2014 Laramie is already a spectacular, awesome truck. Can’t wait to move up to 2019 this time going for ecoDiesel. Simply fantastic trucks. Only complaints: alpine stereo needs to be louder, too much bass emphasis, and it needs a cabin air filter. The Hemi is absolutely the best engine!
Hemi is best .
Very nice review, appreciated the camera work so I had to give a sub. Damn do I wish there were more trucks in the Everyman price range though... 50k+ for a pickup, good lord...
You were doing good until you got to that rotary shifter.
Those big ugly knobs for the radio or heater are ugly as sin. They don’t need to be work glove friendly Dodge. Look at this truck, nobody is taking this to the job site
Ill stay with my 78 ford f150 it more useful
🤠🤘🍻
Amen brother. Had an 83 (last year for the F100) with a 3 speed on the column. IMHO, the 300 CID was one of the best engines ever made. My father bought it so I would have something to drive to school (20+ miles away). Think he paid $8500 new for it, and with all the highway miles it did mid 20s on MPG. 35 years later, new trucks have a hard time matching that.
Because I was an 18 year old idiot in 1985. Thought I wanted a car when I moved back into a city. Miss that truck? Saw it about 5 years ago sitting in a parking lot. If I ever see it again Im going to leave a note on the window with contact info in case the owner wants to sell it.
Bought 2019 Ram 1500 Sport version 7 months ago and driven 10000kms so far. Not a single problem. A very nicely balanced and fully loaded truck in its class. Really good decision made for my family.
All those gadgets - but no panoramic roof or even a regular moon roof or adaptive cruise, blind spot warning, lane keeping assist, etc?
