I'm very disappointed. This is one of your most misleading videos. You just struggled to find 5 things to complain about. Things you mentioned are highly matter of personal preference. 1. Air suspension - it's a luxury truck not an off roader. 90+% probably never take it off road. So gives you better ride quality. As you said it yourself want an off roader get a TRX. Why compairing them? 2. Chrome - some like it some not (you can get a black edition) problem solved. 3. Engine - I think it's awesome that ram offers all engine choices through out the entire line up ( and for example you doesn't have to buy the highest trim if you want a more powerful engine) You have a v8 hemi, what's your problem with the etorque? It adds a little extra performance. So? 4. Options - they probably went this way to keep a reasonable base price. You can opt out lower trims to 70-75k and you end up better if you go for the high trims straight away. This way it's even a better deal. 4.5 since wheels or whatever your problem was. Totally different but have you seen a Tesla configurator and what they charge for "premium" wheels? Guess wheels are eeeefin expensive. Not a ram only thing. Find it expensive don't order it. Those who order it probably have the funds. (and for them it's worth the money) And finally I dislike this content what you did with the limited. (Seems you're not the only one though) You basicly "cried" for things that are not "life threatening issues", not construction issues that the model has to be recalled or whatever. Did that on a REPLACEMENT truck? Acted as If you actually spent money on this truck and now you're disappointed. This "5 things I like" now "5 things I hate" thing is Pure clickbait If someone sees the 1rst video - Oh he is super impressed , let's get this car/truck (And miss the I hate videos ) might end up regreting it. Make ONE decent review with all the pros and cons. Then make a final conclusion if you personally like the car/truck or not. Is it a value for the money? Etc... This way viewers can think about it too. Oh wait. that's only 1 video half the views.... :P
I totally agree with you. The air suspension has been great for me. This channel is losing credibility. My biggest complaints with the limited is the forward collision warning is overly sensitive when passing bikers and frankly scary. Also the width of the truck is a lot when driving and parking in the city. I believe the F-150 is 2-3” narrower.
"but for me, being 23 years old, it's completely useless." Buddy, at 23 you are NOT the target market for this truck. Most 23 year old "kids" can barely afford a Tradesman.
Its more of an Austin Texas thing, from my own experiences when I drive through all the towns of Texas all I see is either regular pick ups or lifted trucks.
@@Jesus-yr7nk assuming theirs is a 2021+ model, I don’t think they have the infamous rear window trim crack, sun/moon roof trim crack, or engine block crack. Biggest issue might be fuel, but if you can afford of of these trucks, you can afford the food for it
This video is misleading. I have limited night edition with everything except the protection group, ram box, and multifunction tailgate. 1. Price 59k 2. Doesn't have the chrome 3. The suspension doesn't lower when I remote start, it stays high. 4. Off road stuff isn't really why I got the limited, it's like a business professional truck to me.
@@aaronbritt2025 my sticker price was 74k I negotiated for the base price and 0.9 apr. I say that understanding a Ford with the same features was averaging around 80k. That's why I say it's misleading because I know all the other big truck names do the same thing they charge for all that stuff.
@@nobs.1794 The reason why we compare sticker prices is because discounts are going to vary based on regional rebates and how willing the dealer is to negotiate. Take my loaded with every option '18 F150 Lariat powerstroke. Sticker was $69k. I paid $46k because I'm friends with the finance manager. He gave me the maximum discount, plus he searched out every available rebate. Not everyone would get that price. Btw, you misunderstood the part about the truck lowering. Ben didn't remote start it to lower it. There's a button on the remote to lower the truck. This is mostly for loading stuff into the bed.
Exactly, etorque is mostly to help the engine Stop-Start to have smoother restart, and it gives you few hp in some scenarios. Other than that, just having the engine without etorque is a downgrade
Love my Limited. Yes, auto makers are "creative" in how they package the options. What can you do? A bigger engine might require other drive train, chassis, body changes. The eTorque is way plenty. And yes, it is basically a luxury car dressed as a truck. It's not supposed to be a TRX. I do agree that my personal style does not prefer the chrome. Anyway, fun to see you driving in my backyard!! Now I know who's driving the white limited!
Dude can’t even stay properly in his lane while driving and he’s giving pros and cons. Get a different life buddy. This one’s not for you. Complaining about air suspension, which you can leave in standard setting if you don’t like it. About chrome and options which are totally personal preferences. And wrong information about the engines. What’s wrong with having an eTorque which only provides more torque when needed and doing nothing bad to fuel economy or driving experience? This man is total bullshit.
I love the air suspension. Can tow 11,500lbs with hardly any squat. And easily lift with links and convert back if needed warranty work. They should make it dual zone, one setting for height & another control for stiffness.
My 2018 jeep grand Cherokee trail hawk has the air suspension system, it’s nice while driving on the road because it’ll change the height to be more aerodynamic, but it would also be useful in the truck for me so I could lower it to make it easier to load my motorcycle on to the bed of the truck
@@SeahawkAz okay, and you option out a Rebel? Stitched or perforated true leather, 19 speaker Harmon-Kardon, 12 inch display, with/without air-suspension, basically whatever you want.
I Definitely like just the regular naturally aspirated Hemi in my Ram over the other engine choices I had to choose from. I figured it was just more stuff that could break and give me a headache after the warranty goes out. Nice video!
Ben I agree with you on the chrome and the engine options, I think you should reconsider you “options vs standard” position because I hear it a lot from others. Anything that you think should be standard that is currently an option would just raise the base price, but the fully loaded price would not change (much), Money is cheap right now, but an additional $20,000 will price some out of the market. So If they included more of the options as standard a portion of their buyers would go in another direction. When I looked at Raptors a couple of years back you could find base models in the $55,000 range and that opened the door for some to get into a Raptor with all of the performance (albeit stripped) and “cool factor” it offers. When I optioned it out the way I would want it, the price rose into the $75,000-$80,000 range. So instead of allowing someone looking in the $40,000 to stretch themselves to be able to get into a Raptor, Ford would have simply priced them out of the market. I am torn on the airbags as standard. I had a Sequoia with standard rear airbags and they really helped reduce the sag when towing, but in this case having them on four corners standard seems like overkill.
I love the Air Suspension, I tow a camper and it levels right up. Plus rides like a dream…I love the chrome on my Limited. I do wish they offered the 6.4 Hemi
Friendly reminder that the Hardon/Kardon system is tuned really badly from the factory Also I love how he talks about the truck’s performance lacks while driving in the bike lane
you just shocked me that you're 23. Thought you were near 29, glad to know a young man so mature and understanding of autos is doing good work these days.
Some of us actually like chrome. Regarding the 6.4 Hemi, are you looking for the 6.4 that is in HD trucks or the one that is in the Challengers/Chargers?
@@BenHardyCars Just wondering if you can actually tow with that. I understand that there are a number of differences between the two for the purpose of towing.
Imagine buying one with the pentestar v6. Buy it for 56k, and a week later when you want to sell it it’s worth 30k. Completely mind blown the pentestar is even an option on this truck
Got 2019 limited here and glad i bought it when i did , absolutely love it.. i opted out to avoid etorque just another bug to go wrong and a future repair bill, now everyone has not even a choice, only complaint id say was the rear window frame getting the hairline cracks above the slider but thats covered anyway, but sofar so good knock on wood
I have worked on over a dozen of these trucks and i have never ben in one with 50+ thousand miles that did not have a severe lifter tick in the engine.... i wouldn't recommend buying one.
I wouldn't want the e torque system, the power running boards, or the air suspension because those are absolute failure points and expensive to fix and/or replace.
You’re a little off on your 6.4 specs. When put into a 3/4 ton pickup, the 6.4 has 410 hp and 420 ft lbs of torque. With that little of an increase over the 5.7 it wouldn’t be worth the extra money for such a little gain
"Hate" the air suspension? Then look at a lower trim level and add options form there. The 5.7 has plenty of HP and TQ for the 1500 and the MPG isn't crushed like it would be with the 6.4L Hemi. It's a plush pick up, not a wanna-be TRX.
@@aaronbritt2025 So 395HP isn't "enough" HP to satisfy your desire and you want the extra 15HP the 6.4L has? Here's and option - Talk to Modern Muscle Extreme and they'll make your wallet yowl in pain when you mash the throttle with a stupid grin on your face while you watch your fuel level drop like there's a hole in the tank after they get done doing up a 5.7L for you. But yeah, you want 15 more ponies because it's not an option. Neither is a Hellephant engine in the 1500 so why stop at a mere 410HP with the 6.4 when you can really cry poor and drop $30,000 on the 1000HP monster that will rip your eyebrows from your head in one fell swoop.
@Mike G. Found this Channel and your comment. I bought a Laramie, used with low miles, from a family I know in my neighborhood. I live in Minnesota where the temperature can get way below zero. I just got hurt at work, with a questionable prognosis. Would a trade up to a Ltd. with an air suspension help me navigate getting in and out of the truck better? I'm wondering if the cold winters would hinder the air function from working right. THANK YOU for any insight!
@@JamesJohnson-ig6of It works well in the winter. At least here in Buffalo, NY. but Minnesota gets a lot colder. My Rebel raises/lowers 4”. I can feel the difference when I get in and it’s all the way down. I can’t say if it’ll help not knowing the extent of your injury. I can only go by how it works for me. In my experience the 4” difference really does help with loading/unloading though. I recommend trying to get in/out before you buy it. It’s someone you know do I don’t think that trying it out should be a problem. Running boards could help you also. Good luck to you and I hope you heal back to 100%!

@@Mike14G THANK YOU for the nice reply! I received a "chip" off my spine. I laid there for 8 hrs, though, before anyone found me. Over a year later, after two and a half months in the hospital, I can walk on my own. Still lot of issues, but am grateful not being paralyzed like I was when I first woke up. My Laramie is all dressed out. It came with running boards; Ram mudflaps; and a painted to match truck bed steel cover with struts, plus black Ram carpeting inside the entire bed. And lighting. I found out when I bought it, and transferred my insurance, I paid more just to replace the truck bed, if necessary. I'm 265#s and I'm getting my strength back. There is a pull strap to help in the cab, and the leather seats are slipperier than my Dakotas cloth. I appreciate you, and THANK YOU again! Your Rebel sounds nice! I always liked fast cars and trucks, but never owned one. Never had a ticket, and don't want one now. Love the fast Ram, though, with the hellcat engine.
@@JamesJohnson-ig6of Wow! That’s a nightmare. Good luck on your recovery! I did have an issue with the rear suspension about 2 years ago. Somehow, water got into them just before winter. The water turned to ice, which happens in Buffalo as winter sets in. I’m sure you know that living in Minnesota. Lol. The compressor kept trying to pump air but the air was getting blocked by the ice, therefore it burned out. Luckily, it happened just before the warranty expired. Would’ve been very expensive to fix. That’s something to keep in mind. I have 94k miles on my 2015 Rebel and it’s treated me well. Having some steering issues now. Felt like I was losing power steering intermittently. Went to check the PS fluid. No reservoir. It’s electric steering. Above my pay grade. Things happen at 94k miles. I also have the Ram Box. Mixed feeling about it when I bought it but it’s awesome now. It leaves me a full view out the rear window instead of partially blocking it with my tool box. My thumbnail is my truck. I took the pic on the shores of Lake Erie with the city of Buffalo in the background. The thumbnail doesn’t give you the full pic though. Ps. I’m also a fan of the Laramie. Like I said, good luck to you on your recovery.
Agree, I wish my 2020 RAM limited had the 6.4L. Don't know why they (FCA now Stellantis) is letting Ford get ahead of them on the HP war in the top of the line model... Also, I HATE - HATE - HATE the shifter knob on the dash. Bring back the center console shifter that they are now using in the "T-REX" !!! There's plenty of room in the center console anyway...
A lot of these complaints most people dont realize how easy it is. To fix.. perosnally the ecodiesel is phenominal, great MPG, great towing. As long as you drive 50+ miles a day youll never have an issue. The chrome.. blacking out chrome is very cheap amd easy. Fixing power output. You can get a very soft tune especially with the exo diesel that will add a few lbs of boost, and increase throttle response. And power output and stillxget youxbetter MPG. Not everybody wants 700hp in their truck with 8mpg. Especialy with massive price upgrades to do it.
Yeah. Glad there wasn’t any bikers on that road. And even when it wasn’t a bike lane, he was driving with 1/4 of his truck in the next lane. Good night, kid..
This video is basically the equivalent of a GT3RS owner yapping about how he hates that his 911 has a fire extinguisher if he is not currently on fire.
The skids plates for me are like money in the bank. While you're tooling down the highway you always run the risk of hitting some other guy's junk like a rotted muffler or tire recap that fell off their vehicle and doing significant damage to your vehicle. I once hit a piece of metal while exiting off a highway that torn a rip in my Mustang's rear bumper. It costs over $400 to fix.
I love your videos but this one is terrible. It’s reaching to be honest and that title. I know you think you need clickbait titles for people to watch but really you don’t. Good content sells itself. Also you can still get a ram without etorque. I do agree with you that they need a bigger engine option for the Ram.
Some 20+ year old make really good income. Why not to own one. I am 57 and never owned a pickup truck. I was never a Ford guy or Chevy. GMC, maybe. The 1500 RAM really got into me. I took one Limited for a ride while doing an oil change on my Cherokee. Boy, do I not regret trying one. Very impressive truck. Such a super ride and design. To the point that this might be my first to get when my lease is done. I am just waiting to see the new RAM EV. I hear, they are putting some heavy tech in the EV. The only thing I do recommend is getting extended B2B coverage, if buying one. A lot can go wrong.
You may want to look into things before posting. You can order the Limited with the air suspension deleted and you get a discount. In Ontario Canada, many dealers order all their Limiteds without because they are known for issues.
The way it looks is that you probably received a corporate loaner to review. The beauty about these trucks is you can option it the way you want. And if you bought this truck then like some of the other reviewers said you bought the wrong trim level. For an upgraded engine you have the TRX. If you don't want air suspension get the laramie or the way I like to do is start of with the big horn and then option it out. A lot of the truck owners are not geeky hence the tech package is optional ...
The new Rams are the softest looking trucks I’ve ever seen. I’ve lived overseas, so I’ve seen some soft trucks. Ugly exterior with a gorgeous interior.
1) then don’t use it. 2) then why’d you buy it? It’d be tacked on anywhere. The base would jump up if they did this. 3) then get the night edition? 4) this is 100% fair. 5) I agree with this. However, why complain about options for the price when you’d be cool with paying a couple grand more for a bigger engine? I think your video is relatively fair. It’s a badass truck so I certainly wouldn’t complain.
Not sure where you got your information from about the eTorque in the 2021 limited but you can purchase it without the eTorque as a 5.7 hemi VVT, I recently purchased a 2021 ram 1500 with the eTorque and there was one right next to it in the showroom and it did not have it. Thanks for your information but this is one video you did NOT have to do-a lot of these things are misleading, besides I have Family in the great state of Texas and the majority of them drive Lifted trucks. Again thanks for video.
A couple points and I know that you know the list you made is just nitpicking but just my thoughts: 1. The air suspension is more for Ride comfort and less for going off road. Especially with those wheels. 2. They do offer premium wheels as standard. These are the optional wheels, most manufacturers offer additional premium wheels including Ford and GM.
Ben, does the longhorn come standard with air suspension? My gripe is up in here in Canada the air suspension fails all the time. Buuuuutttttt I want the head lights on the limited/longhorn. I also work in the oil patch and do a lot of off road driving. Thanks and love the content!
No. I got a 2019 Longhorn and no air suspension. I could of ordered it but even the dealer said our climate is to cold for it. So I didn’t opt for the air suspension. I love the truck so far
And me being 21 I have a 4th gen express which is almost like a tradesman (might be just don’t know). I then decided you know what I wonder if I can turn it into a Laramie. 4-5 years of owning the truck it turned from a cheap truck to a Laramie full black interior and radio swapped with apple carplay all on a 2015 model Edit: I didn’t do air suspension because it’s useless I did a 7” lift kit on 37s and have air ride only for towing so the back end doesn’t drop to the floor.
Dude I don’t even have a ram truck yet , I order one 2022 limited, but the 5 things you hate are actually nothing to hate ,I think you get a Ford full off plastic than I would like to see what you hate , I’m watching video after video about the ram 1500 limited and from what I learn it an amazing track probably on off the best truck on the market so far , I can’t wait to get my baby ! Peace out !
Obviously you don't tow anything, the entry/exit suspension is great when connecting and unhooking from the towed equipment. Also, the air suspension rides like a dream. Why wouldn't your want etorque, saves fuel and adds power. Lastly, I LOVE the look of chrome...
What pisses me off is my 2019 Laramie had the reclining rear seats and 4way lumbar. My 2022 Laramie they stopped installing these. I really liked those two features. The interior also only comes in black. I love the air suspension. I'd probably have gotten the Limited but stupid Ram doesn't make it with a front bench style seat. What can we do about it 🤔 Just complain on RUclips and make RUclips videos about their stupidity 🙄 You can't just think about yourself regarding the air suspension or any other features. It does really come in handy when I'm loading the bed especially. And I love my split tailgate opening either way. Also love the control knob shifter. Enjoy and always drive safely 🙏🏼
Hi bro .. I don’t know way. But. it’s option that you want to used or not. And. Bro even . I am 30 years old. And I didn’t used for my self. But I used for my grandma. And. it’s there for some reason. Because Some people. Can’t sit in the truck. So It’s easy for them. Like old people like my grandma. I told you. please don’t say it’s useless. Or whatever If you don’t like don’t think about it .. that you have one in your truck. Or buy new different models. And please stop pointing mistakes on any other trucks in the market. Thank you :)
I just picked up a 2020 laramie longhorn with out air ride no etourqe 4x4 same wheels. I freaking love it. That's why I went longhorn. So maybe look at a longhorn instead of the limited. Wouldn't trade mine for yours for sure. And it flat out runs
I love my 21 limited. Engine is great and limited is purchased for the interior/exterior leather-trim package. Wife wanted to buy a limited grand Cherokee....I said let’s go sit in the truck afterwards.....we bought the truck. More vehicle for less money. Room is great. Center console fantastic. The only thing is I wish rear seats folded down.
With you 100% with the air suspension. Mines a 17 Limited, and as soon it's below freezing, it's popping the fuse and the front end drops on top of the front tires or lists to one side. Besides that, it's a beautiful truck. In the process of trading..off to Ford..
It’s hard to agree with the idea that they should make more things standard. You can’t expect a low base price and then expect more stuff packed into that base model without the price jumping. The more options people have, the more freedom they have. Let’s keep it the way it is.
I own a 2020 Ram Limited in Granite Crystal with the black seats.. My truck was hard to find equipped as I wanted. Your are mistaken about being only available with ETorque. My truck came with a non- ETorque 5.7. I am fortunate to have lots of income and don't care about fuel economy. I removed all of the chrome from the front of my truck because I drive very fast and have both radar and laser jammers in mine and did not want chrome on mine for that reason. I wanted the great 6.4 485HP engine, but as you said it was not offered. I removed my 5.7 and had it replaced with a 448 CU. INCH all forged Arrington hemi. I also had a Stainless Works complete quiet exhaust system from long tube headers to tailpipes. Mine also has a Cold Air Intake and a custom 93 octane tune. It has 3.92 gears and limited slip rear. I purchased the largest brakes available for it which include massive 16 inch 6 piston Wilwoods up front. The engine makes 200 more wheel horsepower than the 5.7 stock motor and it is a blast to drive. Mine has 20 inch wheels beacause I did not like the taller heavier 22s. I only wanted 4 wheel drive because in needed it for launching my boat on steep ramps. It averages 10 MPG with me driving and that is just fine with me. I love the truck and will keep it until something better comes along. I am sick that Rams will be coming with that 3.0 inline 6 in the future and expect that to be a reliability nightmare!
I have a 2020 Ram 1500 Limited Edition that has the naturally aspirated 5.7 not the eTorque. I was surprised because I thought they all had it too, but mine doesn't. I bought it used so I don't know if the original owner special ordered it? It is the black on black night edition with every option available except the trailer steering. I absolutely LOVE the air ride, my only issue with it is that I wish it was more versatile, meaning that it needs to have a little more travel range and be able to drive it faster at higher heights. I don't like chrome, but Ram gives you options. I don't like the leather wrapped dash. It's impractical to have black leather glued to a dash where the sun is beating down on it, mine is already failing, but I live in Florida. I bought it used still under factory warranty so they are replacing it with the exact same thing even though I told them I was fine without the leather. I'm taking extra precautions by adding window air deflectors and a dash cover. Speaking of window air deflectors, that should be a standard. Every truck I buy I end up having to install them. The way the cab is designed if you leave the windows cracked on a hot day to vent the hot air from the cab it's fine, unless it rains. The window air deflectors allow you to crack your windows and vent it and NOT get rain in. Personally, I would have passed on the sun-roof, the electric back window, and the electric tailgate. The key fob entry/exit button should really be an option for those that need it, most don't. I wish Ram made it so some of the new options could be added like the digital rear view and cargo camera, maybe someday. I don't understand why Ram didn't do the start/stop function on the naturally aspirated engine when my wife's Kia Sportage has it and hers isn't a hybrid? Absolutely love the truck, but they need to get to a point where options are more plug/play so you can get them, or not, right at the dealership. That's my take on everything.
I know 2016 limited you could order a truck without air suspension and get $600 credit. Even though the truck came standard with air suspension.. I personally like air suspension it's softer on the freeway you can do 45 mph on off road 1 and 25 mph on off-road 2. My truck is 2016 with 90,000 mi zero issues with air suspension
You compliment the trucks base price as being much cheaper than the competion, then complain that the extra luxury options aren't standard. Which if they were would bring it closer, but even then still cheaper than the competion. You complain about the air suspension which is a "premium" option is standard. So which is it? Do you want premium options standard in a luxury truck or should they be options?
Ben: NOTHING pisses me off more, than reserving a premium engine for premium trims. I walked away from GM because of this very fact, they would not sell me the 6.2/10 speed in a medium trim. Sucks to be them, bought a Ram because they cater to real buyers. I don't want or need a luxury truck. I do want lots of towing power.
Alright kid! I’m guessing you were an only child? And your parents would have a birthday party for you and no one would show up. So you got your cake and got to eat it all too!
There are no complaints about my 2020 Limited because I'm simply grateful I'm able to drive this Beautiful Machinery everyday. It's definitely the best truck in the world in my opinion. Well actually I take it back i have one complaint... I hate that I'm nowhere near owning it. Only 65 monthly payments more to go... Lol!
Air suspension is nice when it works...WHEN IT WORKS! Having issues with my 14 Longhorn. Been in the shop 3 times and costing me more than $5000. People also don't realize that it uses Nitrogen NOT AIR. Not all dodge dealerships even have the equipment to work on it..
Couple of things: 1) Ram 1500 limited for 2020-2021 have the regular 5.7, the 5.7 etorque, or the eco diesel. The regular 3.6 isn’t an option according to Ram’s build tool. - I have a 2020 limited with the non-etorque 5.7 Hemi. 2) air suspension auto levels with heavy loads and allows for the ride/handling to remain the same even at max payload. Much safer and comfortable. 3) performance engine = lower corporate EPA/emissions rating. Requires buying credits or making things EV to compensate because EPA hates Fun V8s. Which is why they dropped the 6.4 HD because they generally don’t get an EPA rating.
Agreed Ram should have the 392/Hellcat/Viper engine available on limited Trims like the RT/SRT or Super Bee. Allpar noted that Ram thought bringing a production version of the Hemi 426 but later scrapped after Sergio Marchione passed away :( Rumor has it that Chrysler had a V6 Turbo in the works (maybe the legendary slant v6?) but now that Setllantis took over most likely will come after 2024
Wonder if Ram will offer a Bilstein adaptive suspension similar to the TRX as option along with the air suspension. From what I've seen the air suspension works well for street use and the adaptive works everywhere even off road. Though I can see the price tag on that system above $3+ grand though Chevy charges $5 grand for their magnetic suspension.
Is your 4th and 5th point the same? Did you ‘have’ to come up with five points? Points 1 and 2 were fine, I feel like your stretching the topic just to create content. You could have called this video, ‘things I dislike about the Ram 1500 Limited.’ Your comparison videos are great, I enjoy those.
Why even buy it if you don't like it?...🤔 I got the same exact truck in the black edition (Not so fan of the chrome either) and I bought it because I fell in love with it since we crossed sights... if I have found something that I don't like about it, then I just wouldn't buy it... It's one the most complete and luxurious truck out in the market right now...
I'm very disappointed. This is one of your most misleading videos. You just struggled to find 5 things to complain about. Things you mentioned are highly matter of personal preference.
1. Air suspension - it's a luxury truck not an off roader. 90+% probably never take it off road. So gives you better ride quality. As you said it yourself want an off roader get a TRX. Why compairing them?
2. Chrome - some like it some not (you can get a black edition) problem solved.
3. Engine - I think it's awesome that ram offers all engine choices through out the entire line up ( and for example you doesn't have to buy the highest trim if you want a more powerful engine)
You have a v8 hemi, what's your problem with the etorque? It adds a little extra performance. So?
4. Options - they probably went this way to keep a reasonable base price.
You can opt out lower trims to 70-75k and you end up better if you go for the high trims straight away. This way it's even a better deal.
4.5 since wheels or whatever your problem was. Totally different but have you seen a Tesla configurator and what they charge for "premium" wheels? Guess wheels are eeeefin expensive. Not a ram only thing. Find it expensive don't order it. Those who order it probably have the funds. (and for them it's worth the money)
And finally I dislike this content what you did with the limited. (Seems you're not the only one though)
You basicly "cried" for things that are not "life threatening issues", not construction issues that the model has to be recalled or whatever. Did that on a REPLACEMENT truck? Acted as If you actually spent money on this truck and now you're disappointed.
This "5 things I like" now "5 things I hate" thing is Pure clickbait
If someone sees the 1rst video - Oh he is super impressed , let's get this car/truck
(And miss the I hate videos ) might end up regreting it.
Make ONE decent review with all the pros and cons. Then make a final conclusion if you personally like the car/truck or not. Is it a value for the money? Etc... This way viewers can think about it too. Oh wait. that's only 1 video half the views.... :P
I totally agree with you. The air suspension has been great for me. This channel is losing credibility. My biggest complaints with the limited is the forward collision warning is overly sensitive when passing bikers and frankly scary. Also the width of the truck is a lot when driving and parking in the city. I believe the F-150 is 2-3” narrower.
What a whiner. You knew everything this truck had on it BEFORE you signed your name. Put on your big boy pants and do your homework next time.
Yea that was weird. This truck is awesome that it starts at 56K, but you know what I hate? All the extra features cost extra lol.
Legend has it he is already complaining about the 2030 Ram 1500 because it offers a flying mode!
It’s just clickbait to get more views
"but for me, being 23 years old, it's completely useless." Buddy, at 23 you are NOT the target market for this truck. Most 23 year old "kids" can barely afford a Tradesman.
He can't afford this either. They gave it to him to drive.
Definitely, Stacey! I'm 27 and could only DREAM of having a truck like that! This trim package is targeted towards rich senior citizens! =)
maybe its dadys money who buyed the car

Truth!
Ah yes, Texas... infamous for their lowrider truck culture. As a Texan I assure you, lowrider trucks are far from the norm
I think that’s more of an LA thing lol
Its more of an Austin Texas thing, from my own experiences when I drive through all the towns of Texas all I see is either regular pick ups or lifted trucks.
Takuache cuh
He doesn't know!!!!!!
He means the “Cuh” trucks lol
The things you hate aren't even important 😂 I love my limited, not too many out here so I feel different on the road.
Any issues with owning the truck?
@@Jesus-yr7nk assuming theirs is a 2021+ model, I don’t think they have the infamous rear window trim crack, sun/moon roof trim crack, or engine block crack. Biggest issue might be fuel, but if you can afford of of these trucks, you can afford the food for it
I like all 5 things he hated. I wish my 22 RAM 1500 sport has these options.
It didn’t take long to tell that you aren’t a truck guy. You’d likely be more comfortable in a Jetta.
Not even a Jetta.
Maybe a prius tbh
Lmaoooooooo

@@khafrebevins3025 doesn’t make him a truck guy. I knew that going in.
This video is misleading. I have limited night edition with everything except the protection group, ram box, and multifunction tailgate.
1. Price 59k
2. Doesn't have the chrome
3. The suspension doesn't lower when I remote start, it stays high.
4. Off road stuff isn't really why I got the limited, it's like a business professional truck to me.
Where did you get it at that price lol
@@gy6100 san antonio Chrysler dealership
@@nobs.1794 That's the sticker price or discounted selling price? Ben was only talking about the sticker price.
@@aaronbritt2025 my sticker price was 74k I negotiated for the base price and 0.9 apr. I say that understanding a Ford with the same features was averaging around 80k. That's why I say it's misleading because I know all the other big truck names do the same thing they charge for all that stuff.
@@nobs.1794 The reason why we compare sticker prices is because discounts are going to vary based on regional rebates and how willing the dealer is to negotiate. Take my loaded with every option '18 F150 Lariat powerstroke. Sticker was $69k. I paid $46k because I'm friends with the finance manager. He gave me the maximum discount, plus he searched out every available rebate. Not everyone would get that price.
Btw, you misunderstood the part about the truck lowering. Ben didn't remote start it to lower it. There's a button on the remote to lower the truck. This is mostly for loading stuff into the bed.
I guess you should have ordered a Laramie without the air suspension and If you want a 6.4 Hemi then order a 2500.
A truck 6.4 is not the same as the SRT 6.4.
I agree with @@yatubekid
The Truck 6.4 is only 410 HP. The 485 is the SRT 6.4 liter.
You definitely struggled to find stuff you hate if that's your top 5 lol
I did
Totally agree. You are really struggling to fine 5 things to hate. You need a lower trim. Hate is too strong of a word.
I think its your problem. Looks fine to me. just don't use it!
The engine is naturally aspirated. Etorque has nothing to do with the aspiration. These points are totally illegitimate. The 5.7L Limited is amazing
Exactly, etorque is mostly to help the engine Stop-Start to have smoother restart, and it gives you few hp in some scenarios. Other than that, just having the engine without etorque is a downgrade
My problem is you’ve had that washer /dryer in the front yard for the last few videos !! Use the truck and get rid of that shit !!!
Yea, then I bet he will have a use for the air shocks being lower. Easier to get stuff in the bed.
LOL you have won today

Best truck value on the market.
No doubt. Owned a 2019 for two years now and still love it. Picked up brand new for $52k well optioned. And not one single problem.

Love my Limited. Yes, auto makers are "creative" in how they package the options. What can you do? A bigger engine might require other drive train, chassis, body changes. The eTorque is way plenty. And yes, it is basically a luxury car dressed as a truck. It's not supposed to be a TRX. I do agree that my personal style does not prefer the chrome. Anyway, fun to see you driving in my backyard!! Now I know who's driving the white limited!
I own a 2019 limited 1500 with all the bells and whistles I even have the tool boxes on the side of the bed beautiful truck and smooth ride .

I’m most confused how a 23 year old affords a Ram limited
He has a TRX.....tubers make a lot of money
Trade jobs and hard work, degrees plenty of way to afford it
He trades cars like underwear . He also has videos saying the midnight ram is the best ram to buy
I like the lowest setting.
Easier for garages.
Only standard on a Limited.
Nice for loading the bed too.
Dude can’t even stay properly in his lane while driving and he’s giving pros and cons. Get a different life buddy. This one’s not for you. Complaining about air suspension, which you can leave in standard setting if you don’t like it. About chrome and options which are totally personal preferences. And wrong information about the engines. What’s wrong with having an eTorque which only provides more torque when needed and doing nothing bad to fuel economy or driving experience? This man is total bullshit.
Plus 1 on the 6.4L.
I love the air suspension. Can tow 11,500lbs with hardly any squat. And easily lift with links and convert back if needed warranty work. They should make it dual zone, one setting for height & another control for stiffness.
Can’t do that because to get it higher an airbag needs more air which means it will be stiffer.
My 2018 jeep grand Cherokee trail hawk has the air suspension system, it’s nice while driving on the road because it’ll change the height to be more aerodynamic, but it would also be useful in the truck for me so I could lower it to make it easier to load my motorcycle on to the bed of the truck
People don’t buy limited edition for off roading. I’d put a small level kit on the front and call it a day.
Dodge Customers don't because its not available, You can get a Ford Tremor in the top trim levels
Off roaded mine plenty and I have the level links.
@@SeahawkAz okay, and you option out a Rebel? Stitched or perforated true leather, 19 speaker Harmon-Kardon, 12 inch display, with/without air-suspension, basically whatever you want.
I Definitely like just the regular naturally aspirated Hemi in my Ram over the other engine choices I had to choose from. I figured it was just more stuff that could break and give me a headache after the warranty goes out. Nice video!
Ben I agree with you on the chrome and the engine options, I think you should reconsider you “options vs standard” position because I hear it a lot from others. Anything that you think should be standard that is currently an option would just raise the base price, but the fully loaded price would not change (much), Money is cheap right now, but an additional $20,000 will price some out of the market. So If they included more of the options as standard a portion of their buyers would go in another direction. When I looked at Raptors a couple of years back you could find base models in the $55,000 range and that opened the door for some to get into a Raptor with all of the performance (albeit stripped) and “cool factor” it offers. When I optioned it out the way I would want it, the price rose into the $75,000-$80,000 range. So instead of allowing someone looking in the $40,000 to stretch themselves to be able to get into a Raptor, Ford would have simply priced them out of the market. I am torn on the airbags as standard. I had a Sequoia with standard rear airbags and they really helped reduce the sag when towing, but in this case having them on four corners standard seems like overkill.
Completely agree. Come on Ram, put the big hemi in that thing already!
I had a $300.00 S10 when I was this kid's age, and I loved it.
I love the Air Suspension, I tow a camper and it levels right up. Plus rides like a dream…I love the chrome on my Limited. I do wish they offered the 6.4 Hemi
Friendly reminder that the Hardon/Kardon system is tuned really badly from the factory
Also I love how he talks about the truck’s performance lacks while driving in the bike lane
you just shocked me that you're 23. Thought you were near 29, glad to know a young man so mature and understanding of autos is doing good work these days.

Some of us actually like chrome. Regarding the 6.4 Hemi, are you looking for the 6.4 that is in HD trucks or the one that is in the Challengers/Chargers?
Challenger 6.4 hemi
@@BenHardyCars Just wondering if you can actually tow with that. I understand that there are a number of differences between the two for the purpose of towing.
If the trx can tow then the 6.4 hemi can
Love my New Limited. Air suspension help my 93 old mom get in and out real easy.
Imagine buying one with the pentestar v6. Buy it for 56k, and a week later when you want to sell it it’s worth 30k. Completely mind blown the pentestar is even an option on this truck
Got 2019 limited here and glad i bought it when i did , absolutely love it.. i opted out to avoid etorque just another bug to go wrong and a future repair bill, now everyone has not even a choice, only complaint id say was the rear window frame getting the hairline cracks above the slider but thats covered anyway, but sofar so good knock on wood
I have worked on over a dozen of these trucks and i have never ben in one with 50+ thousand miles that did not have a severe lifter tick in the engine.... i wouldn't recommend buying one.
Supposedly, the air suspension provides a smooth carlike ride. It sure does for the Benz s-class.
I wouldn't want the e torque system, the power running boards, or the air suspension because those are absolute failure points and expensive to fix and/or replace.
You’re a little off on your 6.4 specs. When put into a 3/4 ton pickup, the 6.4 has 410 hp and 420 ft lbs of torque. With that little of an increase over the 5.7 it wouldn’t be worth the extra money for such a little gain
"Hate" the air suspension? Then look at a lower trim level and add options form there.
The 5.7 has plenty of HP and TQ for the 1500 and the MPG isn't crushed like it would be with the 6.4L Hemi. It's a plush pick up, not a wanna-be TRX.
Just buy the Laramie with a high trim level, I’m so in love with mine.
The 6.4L should at least be an option. High end GM and Ford trucks are both available with optional 400+ hp engines.
A Laramie longhorn can be optioned pretty darned close to a limited and you can leave out the air suspension.
@@aaronbritt2025 So 395HP isn't "enough" HP to satisfy your desire and you want the extra 15HP the 6.4L has? Here's and option - Talk to Modern Muscle Extreme and they'll make your wallet yowl in pain when you mash the throttle with a stupid grin on your face while you watch your fuel level drop like there's a hole in the tank after they get done doing up a 5.7L for you.
But yeah, you want 15 more ponies because it's not an option. Neither is a Hellephant engine in the 1500 so why stop at a mere 410HP with the 6.4 when you can really cry poor and drop $30,000 on the 1000HP monster that will rip your eyebrows from your head in one fell swoop.
@@strykerentllc easier to just buy a Ford with 430 hp, 570 tq and a warranty.
The air suspension can help with loading/unloading the truck bed. I’ve used it a lot in my ‘15 Rebel.
@Mike G. Found this Channel and your comment. I bought a Laramie, used with low miles, from a family I know in my neighborhood. I live in Minnesota where the temperature can get way below zero. I just got hurt at work, with a questionable prognosis. Would a trade up to a Ltd. with an air suspension help me navigate getting in and out of the truck better? I'm wondering if the cold winters would hinder the air function from working right. THANK YOU for any insight!
@@JamesJohnson-ig6of It works well in the winter. At least here in Buffalo, NY. but Minnesota gets a lot colder. My Rebel raises/lowers 4”. I can feel the difference when I get in and it’s all the way down. I can’t say if it’ll help not knowing the extent of your injury. I can only go by how it works for me. In my experience the 4” difference really does help with loading/unloading though. I recommend trying to get in/out before you buy it. It’s someone you know do I don’t think that trying it out should be a problem. Running boards could help you also. Good luck to you and I hope you heal back to 100%!

Over a year later, after two and a half months in the hospital, I can walk on my own. Still lot of issues, but am grateful not being paralyzed like I was when I first woke up. My Laramie is all dressed out. It came with running boards; Ram mudflaps; and a painted to match truck bed steel cover with struts, plus black Ram carpeting inside the entire bed. And lighting. I found out when I bought it, and transferred my insurance, I paid more just to replace the truck bed, if necessary. I'm 265#s and I'm getting my strength back. There is a pull strap to help in the cab, and the leather seats are slipperier than my Dakotas cloth. I appreciate you, and THANK YOU again! Your Rebel sounds nice! I always liked fast cars and trucks, but never owned one. Never had a ticket, and don't want one now. Love the fast Ram, though, with the hellcat engine.
@@JamesJohnson-ig6of Wow! That’s a nightmare. Good luck on your recovery! I did have an issue with the rear suspension about 2 years ago. Somehow, water got into them just before winter. The water turned to ice, which happens in Buffalo as winter sets in. I’m sure you know that living in Minnesota. Lol. The compressor kept trying to pump air but the air was getting blocked by the ice, therefore it burned out. Luckily, it happened just before the warranty expired. Would’ve been very expensive to fix. That’s something to keep in mind. I have 94k miles on my 2015 Rebel and it’s treated me well. Having some steering issues now. Felt like I was losing power steering intermittently. Went to check the PS fluid. No reservoir. It’s electric steering. Above my pay grade. Things happen at 94k miles. I also have the Ram Box. Mixed feeling about it when I bought it but it’s awesome now. It leaves me a full view out the rear window instead of partially blocking it with my tool box. My thumbnail is my truck. I took the pic on the shores of Lake Erie with the city of Buffalo in the background. The thumbnail doesn’t give you the full pic though. Ps. I’m also a fan of the Laramie. Like I said, good luck to you on your recovery.
If you are trying to get into a standard garage or parking garage, the entry exit setting with the air suspension is great and a necessity.
Agree, I wish my 2020 RAM limited had the 6.4L. Don't know why they (FCA now Stellantis) is letting Ford get ahead of them on the HP war in the top of the line model... Also, I HATE - HATE - HATE the shifter knob on the dash. Bring back the center console shifter that they are now using in the "T-REX" !!! There's plenty of room in the center console anyway...
Got a 2021. You are knit picking. No complaints here. Best purchase I've ever made. Rock solid.
A lot of these complaints most people dont realize how easy it is. To fix.. perosnally the ecodiesel is phenominal, great MPG, great towing. As long as you drive 50+ miles a day youll never have an issue. The chrome.. blacking out chrome is very cheap amd easy. Fixing power output. You can get a very soft tune especially with the exo diesel that will add a few lbs of boost, and increase throttle response. And power output and stillxget youxbetter MPG. Not everybody wants 700hp in their truck with 8mpg. Especialy with massive price upgrades to do it.

This video is basically the equivalent of a GT3RS owner yapping about how he hates that his 911 has a fire extinguisher if he is not currently on fire.
The skids plates for me are like money in the bank. While you're tooling down the highway you always run the risk of hitting some other guy's junk like a rotted muffler or tire recap that fell off their vehicle and doing significant damage to your vehicle. I once hit a piece of metal while exiting off a highway that torn a rip in my Mustang's rear bumper. It costs over $400 to fix.
I love your videos but this one is terrible. It’s reaching to be honest and that title. I know you think you need clickbait titles for people to watch but really you don’t. Good content sells itself.
Also you can still get a ram without etorque.
I do agree with you that they need a bigger engine option for the Ram.
Just make sure you trade the truck in before the motor start to do the mopar tap.
That will happen around 60K
Some 20+ year old make really good income. Why not to own one. I am 57 and never owned a pickup truck. I was never a Ford guy or Chevy. GMC, maybe. The 1500 RAM really got into me. I took one Limited for a ride while doing an oil change on my Cherokee. Boy, do I not regret trying one. Very impressive truck. Such a super ride and design. To the point that this might be my first to get when my lease is done. I am just waiting to see the new RAM EV. I hear, they are putting some heavy tech in the EV. The only thing I do recommend is getting extended B2B coverage, if buying one. A lot can go wrong.
You may want to look into things before posting. You can order the Limited with the air suspension deleted and you get a discount. In Ontario Canada, many dealers order all their Limiteds without because they are known for issues.
The way it looks is that you probably received a corporate loaner to review. The beauty about these trucks is you can option it the way you want. And if you bought this truck then like some of the other reviewers said you bought the wrong trim level. For an upgraded engine you have the TRX. If you don't want air suspension get the laramie or the way I like to do is start of with the big horn and then option it out. A lot of the truck owners are not geeky hence the tech package is optional ...
The new Rams are the softest looking trucks I’ve ever seen. I’ve lived overseas, so I’ve seen some soft trucks. Ugly exterior with a gorgeous interior.
1) then don’t use it.
2) then why’d you buy it? It’d be tacked on anywhere. The base would jump up if they did this.
3) then get the night edition?
4) this is 100% fair.
5) I agree with this. However, why complain about options for the price when you’d be cool with paying a couple grand more for a bigger engine?
I think your video is relatively fair. It’s a badass truck so I certainly wouldn’t complain.
Not sure where you got your information from about the eTorque in the 2021 limited but you can purchase it without the eTorque as a 5.7 hemi VVT, I recently purchased a 2021 ram 1500 with the eTorque and there was one right next to it in the showroom and it did not have it. Thanks for your information but this is one video you did NOT have to do-a lot of these things are misleading, besides I have Family in the great state of Texas and the majority of them drive Lifted trucks. Again thanks for video.
Ben I just BOUGHT one now you saying I gotta return it?!
😂 LoL
@ubeuonly 1 he was just given a trx that he paid to get wrapped?
Yes - this is exactly what he's saying; dump the Limited and upgrade to a TRX...
This is non-negotiable (lol! 😂).
Dont get rid of a truck you like just because some dude on the internet has a negative opinion on it. He even had a hard time finding things to hate.
You're 23 and owned how many different vehicles? Thanks for making me rethink my life choices. I'll go cry in my 2007 civic si🥲🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Lol
😆😆😆
A couple points and I know that you know the list you made is just nitpicking but just my thoughts:
1. The air suspension is more for Ride comfort and less for going off road. Especially with those wheels.
2. They do offer premium wheels as standard. These are the optional wheels, most manufacturers offer additional premium wheels including Ford and GM.
Ben, does the longhorn come standard with air suspension? My gripe is up in here in Canada the air suspension fails all the time. Buuuuutttttt I want the head lights on the limited/longhorn. I also work in the oil patch and do a lot of off road driving. Thanks and love the content!
No. I got a 2019 Longhorn and no air suspension. I could of ordered it but even the dealer said our climate is to cold for it. So I didn’t opt for the air suspension. I love the truck so far
And me being 21 I have a 4th gen express which is almost like a tradesman (might be just don’t know). I then decided you know what I wonder if I can turn it into a Laramie. 4-5 years of owning the truck it turned from a cheap truck to a Laramie full black interior and radio swapped with apple carplay all on a 2015 model
Edit: I didn’t do air suspension because it’s useless I did a 7” lift kit on 37s and have air ride only for towing so the back end doesn’t drop to the floor.
You can get a '21 Limited without etorque - I just ordered 1
Wish they had a 2wd and or a awd Dakota with a hellcat !!! That would sell like crazy especially awd
The 2021 lone star had the regular Hemi 😎
Dude I don’t even have a ram truck yet , I order one 2022 limited, but the 5 things you hate are actually nothing to hate ,I think you get a Ford full off plastic than I would like to see what you hate , I’m watching video after video about the ram 1500 limited and from what I learn it an amazing track probably on off the best truck on the market so far , I can’t wait to get my baby ! Peace out !
Obviously you don't tow anything, the entry/exit suspension is great when connecting and unhooking from the towed equipment. Also, the air suspension rides like a dream. Why wouldn't your want etorque, saves fuel and adds power. Lastly, I LOVE the look of chrome...
I just bought a new Limited, 2022 with a regular non ETorque Hemi.
What pisses me off is my 2019 Laramie had the reclining rear seats and 4way lumbar. My 2022 Laramie they stopped installing these. I really liked those two features. The interior also only comes in black. I love the air suspension. I'd probably have gotten the Limited but stupid Ram doesn't make it with a front bench style seat. What can we do about it 🤔 Just complain on RUclips and make RUclips videos about their stupidity 🙄 You can't just think about yourself regarding the air suspension or any other features. It does really come in handy when I'm loading the bed especially. And I love my split tailgate opening either way. Also love the control knob shifter. Enjoy and always drive safely 🙏🏼
Hi bro .. I don’t know way. But. it’s option that you want to used or not. And. Bro even . I am 30 years old. And I didn’t used for my self. But I used for my grandma. And. it’s there for some reason. Because Some people. Can’t sit in the truck. So It’s easy for them. Like old people like my grandma. I told you. please don’t say it’s useless. Or whatever If you don’t like don’t think about it .. that you have one in your truck. Or buy new different models. And please stop pointing mistakes on any other trucks in the market. Thank you :)
I ordered a 2022 Laramie with the air suspension and the chrome appearance group so there! LOL
Does air suspension make it drive better (more planted, smoother)?
I just picked up a 2020 laramie longhorn with out air ride no etourqe 4x4 same wheels. I freaking love it. That's why I went longhorn. So maybe look at a longhorn instead of the limited. Wouldn't trade mine for yours for sure. And it flat out runs
I love my 21 limited. Engine is great and limited is purchased for the interior/exterior leather-trim package. Wife wanted to buy a limited grand Cherokee....I said let’s go sit in the truck afterwards.....we bought the truck. More vehicle for less money. Room is great. Center console fantastic. The only thing is I wish rear seats folded down.
I love my limited, it’s my third Ram truck, but my first limited and it’s the best ever
Yes that motor is worn out!! They need to bump the power up. It’s been the same for years. Not much hp increase over the years
Should I have bought a Laramie can get all the same options just with no limited badge
With you 100% with the air suspension. Mines a 17 Limited, and as soon it's below freezing, it's popping the fuse and the front end drops on top of the front tires or lists to one side. Besides that, it's a beautiful truck. In the process of trading..off to Ford..
Air ride made to take back to dealers and keep you broke or a bad accident when they fail.
i think if they detuned the hellcat engine down to about 500 hp that would be a good choice
It’s hard to agree with the idea that they should make more things standard. You can’t expect a low base price and then expect more stuff packed into that base model without the price jumping. The more options people have, the more freedom they have. Let’s keep it the way it is.
I own a 2020 Ram Limited in Granite Crystal with the black seats.. My truck was hard to find equipped as I wanted. Your are mistaken about being only available with ETorque. My truck came with a non- ETorque 5.7. I am fortunate to have lots of income and don't care about fuel economy. I removed all of the chrome from the front of my truck because I drive very fast and have both radar and laser jammers in mine and did not want chrome on mine for that reason. I wanted the great 6.4 485HP engine, but as you said it was not offered. I removed my 5.7 and had it replaced with a 448 CU. INCH all forged Arrington hemi. I also had a Stainless Works complete quiet exhaust system from long tube headers to tailpipes. Mine also has a Cold Air Intake and a custom 93 octane tune. It has 3.92 gears and limited slip rear. I purchased the largest brakes available for it which include massive 16 inch 6 piston Wilwoods up front. The engine makes 200 more wheel horsepower than the 5.7 stock motor and it is a blast to drive. Mine has 20 inch wheels beacause I did not like the taller heavier 22s. I only wanted 4 wheel drive because in needed it for launching my boat on steep ramps. It averages 10 MPG with me driving and that is just fine with me. I love the truck and will keep it until something better comes along. I am sick that Rams will be coming with that 3.0 inline 6 in the future and expect that to be a reliability nightmare!
I have a 2020 Ram 1500 Limited Edition that has the naturally aspirated 5.7 not the eTorque. I was surprised because I thought they all had it too, but mine doesn't. I bought it used so I don't know if the original owner special ordered it? It is the black on black night edition with every option available except the trailer steering. I absolutely LOVE the air ride, my only issue with it is that I wish it was more versatile, meaning that it needs to have a little more travel range and be able to drive it faster at higher heights. I don't like chrome, but Ram gives you options. I don't like the leather wrapped dash. It's impractical to have black leather glued to a dash where the sun is beating down on it, mine is already failing, but I live in Florida. I bought it used still under factory warranty so they are replacing it with the exact same thing even though I told them I was fine without the leather. I'm taking extra precautions by adding window air deflectors and a dash cover. Speaking of window air deflectors, that should be a standard. Every truck I buy I end up having to install them. The way the cab is designed if you leave the windows cracked on a hot day to vent the hot air from the cab it's fine, unless it rains. The window air deflectors allow you to crack your windows and vent it and NOT get rain in. Personally, I would have passed on the sun-roof, the electric back window, and the electric tailgate. The key fob entry/exit button should really be an option for those that need it, most don't. I wish Ram made it so some of the new options could be added like the digital rear view and cargo camera, maybe someday. I don't understand why Ram didn't do the start/stop function on the naturally aspirated engine when my wife's Kia Sportage has it and hers isn't a hybrid? Absolutely love the truck, but they need to get to a point where options are more plug/play so you can get them, or not, right at the dealership. That's my take on everything.
I know 2016 limited you could order a truck without air suspension and get $600 credit. Even though the truck came standard with air suspension.. I personally like air suspension it's softer on the freeway you can do 45 mph on off road 1 and 25 mph on off-road 2. My truck is 2016 with 90,000 mi zero issues with air suspension
You compliment the trucks base price as being much cheaper than the competion, then complain that the extra luxury options aren't standard. Which if they were would bring it closer, but even then still cheaper than the competion.
You complain about the air suspension which is a "premium" option is standard. So which is it? Do you want premium options standard in a luxury truck or should they be options?
Ben: NOTHING pisses me off more, than reserving a premium engine for premium trims. I walked away from GM because of this very fact, they would not sell me the 6.2/10 speed in a medium trim. Sucks to be them, bought a Ram because they cater to real buyers. I don't want or need a luxury truck. I do want lots of towing power.
Bro if you read the level settings it says it's for exit and entrance.
I had airbags on my truck, it was fun at first but had a lot of problems. Wonder if you can tap into the air tanks and add some train horns
What’s your mpg? I get 11.5 with mine
Alright kid! I’m guessing you were an only child? And your parents would have a birthday party for you and no one would show up. So you got your cake and got to eat it all too!
There are no complaints about my 2020 Limited because I'm simply grateful I'm able to drive this Beautiful Machinery everyday. It's definitely the best truck in the world in my opinion. Well actually I take it back i have one complaint... I hate that I'm nowhere near owning it. Only 65 monthly payments more to go... Lol!
thumbs down.
several minutes of "i spent more money than i needed to because i wanted a badge that says limited on my truck"
"the best truck money can buy". A few videos later "stop....don't buy it". The exact reason I despise this channel and I unsubscribed
Ok goodbye!
@@knightmareseer1045 it's like an airport hahajaha
LOL
@@BenHardyCars xdddd
I mean, he isn’t the only one who does that? There are people whom do the exact thing
Air suspension is nice when it works...WHEN IT WORKS! Having issues with my 14 Longhorn. Been in the shop 3 times and costing me more than $5000. People also don't realize that it uses Nitrogen NOT AIR. Not all dodge dealerships even have the equipment to work on it..
I had a 2015 with air suspension and winter time was a bitch.
Cant tell you if I'd order air again
5000 a pap good luck just trade it in before the warranty come off.
I have a 2020 Limited. Beautiful!
we don't drive low rider truck down here. most of them seat higher then that limited
Couple of things:
1) Ram 1500 limited for 2020-2021 have the regular 5.7, the 5.7 etorque, or the eco diesel. The regular 3.6 isn’t an option according to Ram’s build tool.
- I have a 2020 limited with the non-etorque 5.7 Hemi.
2) air suspension auto levels with heavy loads and allows for the ride/handling to remain the same even at max payload. Much safer and comfortable.
3) performance engine = lower corporate EPA/emissions rating. Requires buying credits or making things EV to compensate because EPA hates Fun V8s. Which is why they dropped the 6.4 HD because they generally don’t get an EPA rating.
Thank you
Not even sure why you bought this truck. I mean, did you even test drive it or go over the specs?
Can you do roadtrips around 1 Hour video, On Sundays.
I’ll see
Agreed Ram should have the 392/Hellcat/Viper engine available on limited Trims like the RT/SRT or Super Bee.
Allpar noted that Ram thought bringing a production version of the Hemi 426 but later scrapped after Sergio Marchione passed away :(
Rumor has it that Chrysler had a V6 Turbo in the works (maybe the legendary slant v6?) but now that Setllantis took over most likely will come after 2024
Wonder if Ram will offer a Bilstein adaptive suspension similar to the TRX as option along with the air suspension.
From what I've seen the air suspension works well for street use and the adaptive works everywhere even off road.
Though I can see the price tag on that system above $3+ grand though Chevy charges $5 grand for their magnetic suspension.
Is your 4th and 5th point the same? Did you ‘have’ to come up with five points? Points 1 and 2 were fine, I feel like your stretching the topic just to create content. You could have called this video, ‘things I dislike about the Ram 1500 Limited.’ Your comparison videos are great, I enjoy those.
Why even buy it if you don't like it?...🤔
I got the same exact truck in the black edition (Not so fan of the chrome either) and I bought it because I fell in love with it since we crossed sights... if I have found something that I don't like about it, then I just wouldn't buy it...
It's one the most complete and luxurious truck out in the market right now...
