With the complexity and cost of todays vehicles all basic warranties should be 10 year 100k mile minimum
100%! That 3 year 36k miles crap they do is downright criminal on a class of vehicles that tend to be driven for work( I do almost that much in a single year) and especially on a close to $100k vehicle!
Manufacturers only care about the initial sale
Totally agree. With these prices nowadays vehicles need to be able to last past 100k miles trouble free to help justify the cost. 54k for a Tradesman…ouch.
Personally, 7 year 150k miles should be the standard. Far too many of us are utilizing vehicles all the way to design life which is commonly 150k miles.
? Explain how cost has anything to do with warranty? Not sure how that logic works....
TFL needs to start including warranty information on vehicles. There has been a decrease in coverage over the last 30 years, and I wish manufacturers would be confronted about it.
3yr/36,000 miles "bumper-to-bumper"
5yr/60,000 miles powertrain
We went from 6/60 and 7/70 down to 3/36 as soon as direct injection started coming out
Thing is that criticism of manufacturers can lead to a noticeable decrease in loaner vehicles for review. Jus sayin.
We can add more about this in the future, but nearly all popular pickup trucks have been at 3years/36,000 bumper to bumper for at least last 10-14 years. Electric pickup trucks add EV components warranty at 8 years / 100,000 miles.
@@kb9oak749 Good, I want honest journalism
Inline is the best engine platform perfectly balanced and smooth more manufacturers should use it
Ford did in 80’s and 90’s. Nobody could kill it. That 4.9 was epic.
AMC Jeeps 4.0 inline motor was very reliable but did have issues cracking exhaust manifolds. I think it had to do how the motor moved when under load.
The Inline Straight 6 cylinder architecture is as smooooth as silk. .. Just ask BMW, MB and 90% of HD trucks on the road today; Cummings, Paccar, Detroit Diesel, Mercedes et cetera. .. MB's newer M256 ICE is a Inline 3.0l 6cyl w/twin turbo chargers. .. Since about MY2018 the M256 is found in the S-Class and E-Class models. .. Coupled w/9sp gearbox in both standard tune & AMG tunes. .. Our MB MY23 E-450 wagon has this drivetrain.. Always plenty of power, always.
Inline 6cyl ICE rules!
The pricing is crazy. 40k for a standard v6. That’s wild
Try $60,000 in Canada
@@trevormoore6161Yup a work truck here in good old Canada with the V-6 starts at $60,000 and not one of those prices are going to stick, a fully loaded Long Horn is $110-115,000 you think Ram is going to lower that price??? for 2025
@@trevormoore6161Not our fault your currency is worthless
Nope,definitely our government...Canada should be one of the richest countries with our resources, instead we sell it to the states for peanuts and buy it back at twice the price
BidenOmics
With ram increasing their prices about 56% over the past few years is crazy. Current inventory is piling up on lots and I don’t think to many people are gonna go for these.
But its not just Ram doing this. Its literally every manufacturer.
Ram has went up substantially more.
My brother just got a 2024 Laramie fully loaded with a 25k off msrp , they are pretty much begging people to buy them, is not a secret all truck manufacturers are in big trouble, nobody are buying them now or in the near future
@@cesarm3902 👍
@3902 Yeah, that's great but MSRP is like 60-70K on a Laramie which is stupid high.
Ram set the record for days supply sitting on lots in 22 and 23. They are trying to break their own record.
People were waiting for the new model...
Wasn't because of me. Bought a new one recently. Nothing against new engine but love the hemi
Well they should have left the v8 as an option big mistake stellantis😮
@user-wu8op5km2u well when u keep buying epa credits u wasting money so that y the hemi gone
@@johnnelson6972you didnt make a dent. Facts are facts.
The cost of a tradesman now is stupid, absolutely ridiculous. At $40K, I thought maybe. When I heard $55K I was like no freaking way in hell.
Typical European arrogance, each of the car makers that make up Stellantis have been drive from the US market at one point or another.
83k for a Laramie! That's freaking crazy. Im so glad I bought my truck in Nov 2019.
I bought my 2020 4wD Hemi Laramie Certified used with 7500 miles on it 3 years ago for $39 grand. Guess I’m doing okay considering a 2025 Laramie is $83 grand 😂. I’ll be hanging on to my truck for many more years!
@io3010 I bought my fully loaded 2020 Laramie night edition 4x4 for 50k.
Yeah the tradesman is more than I paid for my 21 Laramie. 😳
It doesn't have to be. It's all about what options you add to the packages.
83k for a 1500 Laramie wow! Bought my 2500 Laramie in Nov of ‘18 for 48k with the 6.4
Instead of focusing on power and performance, maybe manufacturers should focus on reliability. What a concept!
I don't disagree, we're living in an age where full size pickups are as fast as Ferrari's from the 1980s. We don't need more power we NEED things that will last a long time. I'm driving a 2011 F-150 5.0L that I bought new, it just rolled 105K miles, I bought it thinking maybe in a decade I would look into trading in on a new one, but the 2024 equivalent of my truck is nearly 20K more than what I paid for my 2011. The price of new trucks today tells me it'll be more economical to just keep my 2011 well maintained and running for as long as possible and when something does eventually give on it, it'll probably be cheaper to just replace whatever goes out at that time, be it engine or transmission or whatever.
@nathanmcdonald610 Agreed! I bought a limited 2018 ecoboost Flex in 2021 for $30k, and I think I'll just keep it for the foreseeable future lol. Thankfully it's been very reliable and now has 113k miles with no issues, even with a 91 octane tune.
I think the I6 the best ICE engine design was a good idea.
@@johnkaminski646 agreed a straight six better than a V6 generally for longevity. It is stellantis though so who knows
Andre just didn’t seem very enthusiastic about reviewing this truck. That tells me everything I needed to know.
Just remember all these videos were probably shot in one day down in Texas at the release.
I’m wondering if the 2024 and older Hemi equipped trucks will retain value better now. Same thing happened to Toyota, the value of their older 5.7 trucks skyrocketed once they announced their switch to twin turbo.
Lastly the first gen of a brand new engine platform is bound to be full of bugs
Thank you so much for reviewing the Limited. Everyone is obsessed with the Tungsten it’s nice to see a limited. I have one on order and have been waiting for this.
Folks said the same thing about the tundra TT 3.5 also, time will tell
i was buying a new truck every 3 years, now cause of the truck prices they can keep their trucks. no one in there right mind will spend 80-90k on a truck. i paid 67 for mine in 21 and im just gonna keep it and maintain it myself cause getting dealer work is silly.
These trucks will spend even longer time than current trucks on dealer lots before being sold
Thanks TFL. Keep up the great work!
Holy crap holy! Nobody in there right mind, can afford these prices!!
It sounded so bad that after they revved it, he had nothing to say moves right onto payload lol
Right ha ha ha. What a pos!
😂
Straight sixes have a very unique sound, with an aftermarket system im sure it will make a very good sound. Think of bmw, toyota supra, older nissan skylines. Way better sounding than v6s
That's not how these videos work. It's called editing.
It sounds like a Silver Bullet smoothie blender.
The words Truck and Affordability don't even coincide anymore
Not new anyway
Andre your solo reviews are the best.
There's no doubt this channel has made the trucks we buy better. I owe you guys gratitude for making me aware of American Expedition Vehicles. I had never heard of them until you covered them on your channel. Loving your new rear AEV bumper on the trail hound. Truck look awesome. I own a 2015 AEV Prospector power wagon. 34,000 miles now. I commend you on all your success. I am not in the market for a new truck but suggest anyone who is to watch this channel. No one does it better than T.F.L. Thanks again.
I agree that TFL is very informative, likely my top automotive channel, mainly for the personalities, but I think you mentioned something very important, Auto Journalist may have made the trucks we buy more complex and capable, and also hella expensive, unjustly so imo
Great video! I love TFL Truck!
About the inverter, sure there needs to be an option to have up to 8.4kW of export power. But it needs to be an optional feature. Because equipment bloat is part of the problem of trucks getting unjustifiably expensive.
i agree , they shooting them self in foot by not providing itemized choices, people will not spent extra 20k because they really just want 5k options from it and there is no other way to do it
@@tallll70 unfortunately, some options are packaged together because they all rely upon the same hardware.
An 8.4kW inverter requires a hybrid drive, because it needs a large battery and high capacity wiring harness.
And I *_WANT_* a hybrid truck for more reasons than I have character count to explain. But I agree that equipment packages do need to be more forthcoming with information and justifiable.
7:53 I like everything but the black plastic. at least it's not in a high traffic area.
but I LOVE the big physical buttons and knobs.
These prices are absolutely ridiculous. I remember 6 years ago you could get a ford f350 king ranch for 67,000, to think that was looked at as expensive then.
Well that's what happens when they create money out of thin air and cause inflation. Just look at the trillions added to the debt in the last 6 years. This country won't fix it's own border or infrastructure yet is able to send billions every year to Israel and has been doing so for decades. Now they have another welfare child to support AKA Ukraine lmao. This country is finished...
When I bought my Silverado back in November 18 the sticker was $50,358.
With rebates, I ended up paying $36k
I guess those days are gone !
@@Pdeloosha I had gotten a few deals with those big rebates and 0% financing back around 2018. seems like they are gone for sure, although we may get close to them with the way the lots are filling up.
Bought my 21 ram Laramie southwest, before they started taking away features, for 48 after rebates. Pretty sure they are mid 60’s now with a lot less features.
Have seen a few manufacturers starting to adjust prices here in the last week or 2. Still a long way to go though.
Things changed after 2020. Everyone voted for high inflation. Majority of Americans are very happy with everything.
@@ryanb8736 lol you mean a bunch of dead people voted for inflation and they did so by mail too. Hahaha!
This thing is twin turbo, has 420hp and gets 19.7 mpg.
My 2000 Toyota Solara V6 (no turbo, 200hp 210 lb ft torque) just got 20 mpg on my last fill up. This thing is so impressive.
@@bmsperformance772 yeah, no shit.
That’s why I’m so impressed.
Reading comprehension makes you look less dumb, just saying.
Except designed and built by Stellantis not Toyota. I wait a few years to see how they do.
@@cmiles97x38😂 Look who is still stuck in the '80s. Still rocking that mullet?😅😅
He appears to really love the truck. No surprise here. Looks like they'll have another big winer on their hands
Ram should still have an eco diesel and 5.7 hemi offerings :(
MSRP needs to be about half of that for me to be interested.
Andre, I really appreciate your intelligence and your insights. Thank you!
What a thorough first look and first tow review! I really appreciate the detail, including the comparisons between the previous and new versions. The prices may seem high, but we have seen market forces at work recently, bringing the real-world prices down. I think the Big Three are trying to figure out where this highly competitive market’s MSRPs should be.
If the Hurricane engine proves to be a durable platform, I can see tuners hooning the snot out of them.
It's probably not going to be. In theory it should be being a straight 6. But it's definitely not going to be 2JZ or AMC 4.0L durability. And given I think its a Fiat design... I'm not expecting much reliability. Perhaps I'll be wrong. But there's been a lot of new tech thrown at this engine. So it's going to need to be proven. The aftermarket for it might be interesting however.
The manufacturers are already stressing them to get this power from the smaller displacement. The days of taking a lazy v8 and going crazy are gone.
@@timstevens5769smaller twin turbo is no stressing. As long as internals are designed for boost, they will handle it easy. This engine is designed for maximum boost.
Larger turbos at higher rpm will be more stress. That’s why Dodge went with smaller turbos so power is at low rpm. Best of both worlds.
@@ryanb8736 - I will not go on and on with this. The point was simple and to the point. The Hellcat 800-900 HP from the previous Hemi engines will not be seen in these. Just agree, say nothing, or say thank you. Why argue a simple point?
I liked how the tradesman was equipped but that price… You can buy a base model Tundra with all that equipment for around $48k or step up to a SR5 for around $50-$52k. Over the years, Ram has became more expensive than its competitors. There’s better value elsewhere.
Yea I had considered buying ram in the past because you could get more features, for less money than the competition.. But the past 2 years ram has lost their mind. Their quality control is nowhere as good as Ford and gm.. Yet they have surpassed them in price. FCA is crazy. Everybody knows their quality is iffy, and are not gonna pay more than what they could get a 150 or tundra for.
Base model 2024 Ram Tradesman starts at $39.4k. The 2024 Tundra SR base starts at $39.9k.
Start adding the equipment to it.....the price balloons quickly.
Comparable trucks built,Tundra is cheaper than all the domestics.
Ford isn't gonna let me build a loaded supercab anymore either so I've probably owned my last F150.
Tundra probably be my next truck.
Ive had the 6.2L GM lifter fiasco,don't trust Ram....so options are limited(with smaller cab).
@@rodjbosch tundra is the bottom of the barrel for me, worst fuel economy, less features, less towing capacity. If it was the the bullet proof 5.7? Then it would be a different story but it's to new to know the longevity along with the ram.
@rome4060
Less features?
They all have pretty much the same features nowadays.....depends on how you spec them.
Any of the half tons will pull my 7k trailer ok and haul whatever I need to hual.
I drive nothing but extended cab/double cab trucks with the 6.5ft bed.
As of 2024 I can't even get a F150 Supercab with heated seats(a must for me)
I have no interest in a crew cab/5.5ft bed
Anyone that lets me build such a truck(not bare bones) will be a consideration in a few years.
Mpg....1 or 2 difference I don't care about.
Tundra quality and durability......that is definitely up in the air....in a few years we will know more.
Im still scarred by my last GM 6.2L/8 speed lemon so I'd have a tough time going there.
That leaves Ram and Toyota.
Guys like Mr.Banks are gonna have a field day with this truck/engine.
Impressive torque decent milage rear end geared nicely to utilize the torque & your were right about those class leading tow mirrors can't wait for the heavy duties I've got a feeling they'll be true gamechangers in terms of torque especially considering it's a non diesel I think a lot of people will opt for the heavy duties if they tow & can afford the upgrades
We all know the turbo engines pull well. But will it last. A 60k truck that only lasts 100k miles is quite pathetic. New vehicles need to last 300k miles for what it costs now.
Semi engines are inline 6cyl and last for millions of miles. Dodge aka Ram aka changing names just for the sake of changing names..Dodge had inline 6cyl engines before.
@@B4Uagain semis use very durable built diesel engines that are not tuned to even close max power. It’s not the same at all other than cylinder configuration.
@@jeremygregory7178 can you explain the 3-500k Ecoboost engine trucks that's out there, or tell us how a rebuilt v8 is more reliable?...
@@ljmorris6496Toyota tundra holds the record for two of there v8s with a million miles .its no inline or no diesel excuses its built right period.
Dodge builds crap
Cause of fed regulators manufacturers are forced to turbo for mandatory fleet MPG.
Remove adaptive cruise control, giant touch screen and the trailer backup steering gizmo and drop the price a lot. Ram would sell more trucks.
You are totally right about that Andree
" A little bit more affordable "
😅
Talk to me in 200K miles if it hasn’t blown up. 😮😂!
It's sounds like a vacuum cleaner.
That’s your opinion.
If how the exhaust sounds is a primary reason why you buy a vehicle then god help you.
You didn't disagree. He is right.
Shark vacuum cleaner to be exact but 😂
For many, it's about how it performs as a truck. Not how well it compensates for insecurity issues.
TY for sharing, this trim is what I like most for use and abuse daily work beater ... it be interesting to see how they changed up the underbody on these, whats exposed ... whats sealed and protected ... cause from vid's I seen some already showing surface rust on em and they new expensive trucks lol
These prices are outrageous. To get a decently packaged 1/2 tonthat can tow is north of 60K is absolutely wild.
Really like the new ram , have a Blessed Day!
That is a nice new truck. A Ford Ram Toyota Chevy test of the 2024s new full-size trucks will be good to see
That open upper glovebox makes it like my 2014 Compas! Lol 😂😂😂! Sweet!
I had a 21 xl ford,always been a ford guy, out messing around and looked at a 23 ram tradesman, fell in love,bought it, just felt ram put more thought of driver into it and felt was getting much more for my money
They take care of you on the interior since you will be broke down waiting for tow truck and spend a lot of time in there
Compare it to the old Hemi 5.7 please...
Six cylinders in line are the best, if in line with the drive shaft even more better !
You're correct. 6 cylinder engine is the best, because you get more power with inline six and also you get better towing and better warranty than the old Hemi engine.
Plus !!!! Smooooth. Well balanced and easier to work on
@seansweeney3088 no V8 option is still gonna hurt ram. Watch. The V8 was a big reason they sold trucks. Most people don't want a 4 banger turbo in a truck lol natural aspirated is always the best way to go and keep that option open always.
Those mirrors having power adjust is a super nice feature. I am surprised there is no storage under the rear seat.
As usual, a GREAT REVIEW!
My 5.7 hemi got 19 mpg driving through the mountains. Not sure why they discontinued the hemi for a shitty gimmick.
I noticed they announced it ending well ahead of time... Wonder if they wanted to spur the feeling to come buy the hemi while you still can to boost sales this year
Emissions reasons
More power! Have to keep up
@@ajmedeiros77no, it’s emissions. If they just wanted more power then they can twin turbo the V8
You should have stopped buying dodge after fiat bought them. I dont go past 08 they are all bulletproof dakota 4.7 5.9 cummins and 5.9 magnum
Ike gauntlet when??? Very excited about these new rams! Hopefully you guys are buying or getting a long term loan soon
Ram are good trucks but I like Ford more. The F-150 Powerboost is the most versatile 1/2 ton truck on the market today. From the upcoming RAM options I am excited only by the Ramcharger.
Yet again you guys always make the best reviews they are simple straight to the point nothing too complicated you say what you see and feel I just love how you explain the smallest details the biggest details each time I see your videos I'm like wow I've learned something new about this truck can't wait for the hybrid test I owned a 3.6 for the past 3 years and the next one will be the hybrid much love from Quebec Canada❤👍👍
If someone can’t back up a trailer, then they shouldn’t be pulling one
That huge screen is a no go. Physical buttons are way better.
Physical buttons is common sense, which no longer exists…
@@PonyFoot123 There are physical buttons on both sides of the screen!
I agree" After all it's a Truck Not a luxury Car Smh
unfortunately the vast majority of truck owners disagree and buy these like hotcakes (hence why luxury trucks are the new standard). But don't worry, you can get the small screens on every truck still.
ANdre,
A couple comments for your next test-
1-SOund of the engine exhaust under no load isn't very indicative of real world sound. How about some recordings taken on the side of the road wit the truck driving by under various degrees of load or a mike onthe rear of the truck so you could hear it while driving. Would love to hear full load at both low and high RPMs as well as normal sound.
2-FOr those of us in rust country and with a truck as a second vehicle how the truck survives winters salt is important. Many trucks rust away before they are mechanically worn out id driven less than 20,000 miles per year. Perhaps you could have a Ram guy address how the corrosion protection has been updated with particular attention to the bottom of the tailgate, bottom of doors, rocker panels and over the rear wheels. Also ask them why Ram doesn't make a proper factory rust proofing system available as an option. The dealer provided system depends so much on the applicator and because it is a shitty job to do it doesn't get well trained and experienced people doing the work.
What would be more important to me is, just how reliable is this new Twin-turbo Straight Six going to be?? 🤔
It's been in the Jeep grand wagoneer for 2 years so far so good.
Simple engine to build. So far I like the internals. Love that they went with secondary cooling of turbos as well. German design. Love it.
Can't wait to see what hp and torque can be produced when 5 star tuning gets a hold of this engine
The sky is the limit with an I6 twin turbo. Can’t wait.
Love Texas!
Chevy owns Texas!
@@traciweisenbachCITB I noticed that in the DFW area. More of Ford guy myself.

TFL is still the best when it comes to review's! 5*****
I was excited to see the inline 6. I've always loved inline 6 engines. It's the superior engine design!
I paid about 40 g's for my 2004 Laramie, it's been a good truck. 287,000 miles now and running great. I've been thinking about getting a new truck but the prices are getting out of control.
Love the way it looks. Can't wait to see it on the Ike
Informative video showing us all the many high tech and futuristic features which help drive up the cost of a tool that so many middle class working guys will not be able to buy, because they are struggling to simply put food on the table.
Are there that many wealthy buyers that keep the auto makers in business?
It's very hard for me to visualize the survival of auto manufacturers in this country, unless there are some drastic changes.
Excellent narration.
I drove the Ecoboost with my wife when we were looking and she said her minivan sounded better. This seems to have the same problem. We also drove the Ram and ended up buying a 2019 Laramie quad cab. The Hemi was one of the big reasons. The Hemi just felt and sounded right. The interior was also significantly nicer than Ford or GM. Ram/Dodge made a name for themselves with the Hemi. Will be interesting to see how they do without it especially if they don’t bring another v8 into the mix.
Style wise the dual exhaust is nice. It’s a literal pain when trying to connect a trailer, with the engine running, to cool the cab during a Phoenix summer.
Great video, thank you.
The blind spot mirrors on my 2021 Ram 2500 Laramie were also remote control.
I've been a Mopar guy for a long time...but the SOUND of that motor now will more than likely be enough for me to switch camps. The soundtrack was a big part of the appeal. All that said, I'll be sticking with my current Ram for the foreseeable future. The PRICES and interest rates are staggering.
Those 0-60 times are really impressive!
In all fairness, it does have a few more ponies than the ford 3.5 ecoboost but has less overall torque so will be interesting to see how they compete side by side equally equipped as possible.
I sure hope you can option paddle shifters and aggressive drive modes. The ZF 8-speed is incredible it would be a shame to have it and not be able to use it to its full potential.
I like the confirmation of this truck! Only hate that it sounds like a Dyson vacuum 😢.
I like the Tradesman trim level but that’s stupid 55k for a base truck. Good Luck Ram selling those.
$55k for a crew cab 4x4 towing truck is expensive for a regular blue collar job!! Especially if we need to used for work!!
Over $1000 a month payment
Long as people pay it they will keep raising prices.
Somebody has to pay for those landmark contracts. That coupled with high inflation lead us here.
@@jerrykrobbymore accurate to say itll keep pace with inflation, truck prices are the same since the 90s they just kept pace with inflation
Don't exaggerate, it's 40k for a truck for work.
I LOVE YOU GUYS TESTING , BEST I HAVE SEEN . 💯👍THE PRICES OF THESE TRUCKS ARE RIDICULOUS TO SAY THE LEAST , I MEEN YOU CAN GO TO DEALERSHIPS EVERYWHERE AND STILL FIND BRAND NEW 2022 TRUCKS ❓❓ WHY ARE THEY NOT DROPPING ANY PRICES TO MOVE THESE TRUCKS❓🤔 I WOULD TRADE IN MY 2018 Z71 FULLY LOADED 4 WHEEL DRIVE CHEVY IN ON ONE BUT , TOO MUCH ,$$ I JUST HIT 34,000 MILES ON MINE TO , THAT'S IT STILL BRAND NEW TRUCK AND THE ONE LIKE MINE NOW IS AROUND 78,000-85,000 THOUSAND DOLLARS 👎👎 MINE HAD A STICKER OF 53,469$ NEW AND I PAID 43, 000 THOUSAND DOLLARS WITH 4 MILES ON IT , IT'S SO SAD TO SEE THESE PRICES , GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU 💯👍👏👏
Cant wait to see the ike gaunlet test
Dang. Just finished the vid. $83.4k for a half ton is so painful. Stop this ride I want to get off.
Given these prices, I feel like I have to keep my 2020 1500 Lonestar Hemi 4x4. I paid less than half that price, got the hemi without auto start stop or e-torque, and it came with a locking rear diff. And the tradesman presented was nearly 15k more than I paid.
I can't do it. Looks like the next time I'm going to need a truck, I'll be buying a 10+ year old pickup just to keep it affordable for me.
The silver lining is my next truck will have less doodabs and digicals.
$55k USD for a 2wd work truck... lol yea, it can sit on the lot with the old ones. Even with great trade in values, you're still paying similar payments and price than what most of us would have paid for the old one without a trade. Prices need to really go down.
Really wish they would have kept the 12” screen and physical buttons. I have the 12” on my 2020 and it’s great. The comfort settings being in the screen menu is a small annoyance but I can deal. I’d hate having even more digital buttons. I do like that more safety features are available for the lower trim levels however. Regardless, I believe I’ll be keeping my Hemi for a long time.
I've never adjusted a spot mirror once I set it, ever. A lot of hype like with the dampened tailgate.
I like the brake controller on the left. If i need to use it I'm going to need to be leaning to look into the drivers mirror to watch my trailer to keep it in the lane. If my controller is in the middle its harder to do that. Especially when its a travel trailer and looking out of the rearview is pointless
20:30. 1 mirror probably cost $1,000 plus to replace with all that technology in them. Technology is good but those mirrors will get possibly destroyed but definitely hit a few times a year if your doing any major driving or working especially if you extend them out all the way
Love your channel and your content. I appreciate your input on these new trucks. BUT i will never spend this kind of money on any new truck. I will stick with my 02 f250 4x4 7.3 powerstroke.
Love your reviews, do you know if the new Tungten will have Auto Hold, that's very important to me , like Ford 150 or luxury trucks, I have 2023 Ram Lariat and dont have that. I will appreciate if you can confirm tha nice feature to rest your feet on the red lights.
Great review Andre. I like the base model better
Outstanding!
You need to get ahold of a warlock tradesman
Andre thanks for driving the tradesman nice to see what the work truck has to offer.
Just picked up my 2023 Ram 1500 two weeks ago tomorrow. A 3.0 diesel Laramie for $43,000. At the moment that's a lot of money for a truck. I cannot imagine paying even the $69,000 my truck listed for let alone $80,000.
I assume they fixed the driveline bind in AWD and 4wd? I seriously can't even drive in dry grass without getting stuck from the binding in 4wd with my 20 limited 1500. Even thought they possibly had different gears in the front and rear axles because it's so bad
Truck seems capable and well-thought-out. People are just going to wait till year end clearouts to save $15K with low interest rates to be able to handle the monthly payments
Definitely taking one for a test drive.
I’d want to know if they added an extra o-ring on the front axle splines before buying another DT. Or are we going to be clunking over bumps at 60k again.
I know everyone is gonna miss the Hemi, and I am too. I have a 2018 2500 with the 6.4 Hemi and I love it. But more HP and more torque from an inline 6 than the 6..4 Hemi has is impressive. And that's from the standard Inline 6 (never mind the HO). I am really hoping the 2500 and 3500 are going to get the H.O. Inline 6 option. Or even better, a bigger inline 6 with even more power than the 1500 H.O. Maybe a 5.0 Inline twin turbo straight six?
I’m glad they didn’t change much about the exterior or the interior. I purchased a fifth generation when they first came out and still have it. It’s a great truck. I think until someone drives one they won’t understand how nice they drive.
Any future plans in making comparison video between New Tacoma vs. Frontier and Colorado ???
I like tradesman better that just me, my wife pick Lonestar to fancy for me , but she pick out
I think I going like new engine
We both have 5.7
We both like quite of truck
Just wish got better fuel mileage
I get 19 out of my 5.7 now tradesman
She get 17 out her 5.7 e torque
Good job guys as always keep it up
Oh they went back to the days when the glove box was in the middle. Like the 1970s New Yorkers.
People complain about EV. People complain about the V6 not being powerful enough. People now complain about a I6 even though it has more power and torque than the V8. For people who want a truck for doing actual truck things, this new engine seems perfect. Frankly it would be smart for them to offer the 4xe setup in a light duty version of the Ram for people who are just looking for non towing truck. The I6 would also be great in the Grand Cherokee for a great towing SUV.
