Just ordered a Loaded Laramie 4500 this week. I was gonna get a 3500 with 4.10s and had the dealer work up the 4500 with 4.10s and it was only $2k to jump up to the 4500 with the wide track front axle. I had to go with a Laramie over a a limited due to the fact I didn’t want the 12” screen . I have the 12” screen in my current Ram and dislike it because I prefer hard buttons over touchscreen menus.
Honestly, that truck is total overkill for me. I really like the RAM interior, and I'm a Ford guy. I am seriously considering a RAM 3500 dually for my next truck. But there is 1 thing I did notice about the drivetrain that seems to go against the views many posters. If the 4500/5500 series can run just fine on 360 hp and 850 tourqe, so can I. I'll just order it with 4:10 gears and be on my way. And I will keep the extra 3 grand in my pocket. I'll take longevity over bragging rights every time. That being said, the steering on the 4500/ F450 is hard to beat! Nice video.
Make sure you look up insurance before you buy it. You’ll need commercial insurance regardless if it’s for business or personal use when you switch to anything above a 15k gvwr.
It does a great job of carrying a slide in camper . With the 4.89 axle you can expect 17 mpg with a c&m flat bed . When you add a bigfoot 10-4 camper at 4000 lbs, it will bring your milage down to the 14 mpg range. If you buy one, I will recommend that you find a good rustproof company to treat the frame and cab. Also, make sure you get a turndown for the exhaust.
My 21 F350 dually 6.7 w/4:10 rear end only gets 15-16mpg. Towing heavy is 10-11mpg. 14 is good.
BEAST 💪💪💪 Ram all da way...
Turning radius is a must on all trucks. I'm really liking da crome.
I love that truck. Drives like a dream
Like we've talked about while driving my F-450 how amazing the wide track front axle is and it doesn't make sense why Ram and GM don't make a 4500 or 5500 with a regular production pickup bed and a full power engine!!! Beautiful truck though 👌😍 Those 19.5s do make the ride a little less than wonderful when empty but yes hook a trailer up and it's not bad.
I think it has to do with weight. Because Ford uses aluminum for the body, you can still have over 5000#’s of payload with lower trim levels. If they can get around the 14k GVWR and have DOT change the classifications to 14500#’s, I think they would follow suit 👍🏾
@JB Reviews that is the only thing that makes sense. As hard as it is to get a cab chassis Ram getting a regular F-450 is even harder! I'm loving my 2009 Silverado 3500 that I replaced my 2021 F-450 Platinum with, especially not having DEF, but I'm thinking of getting another new truck because I miss that wide track so much. I know it will never happen but how amazing would it be if a wide track front axle was available on an HD truck 🤔
Nothing some aftermarket wheels and tires can’t fix
I honestly don’t even think they need to go as far as fords F450 did. Keep the same frame and most of the same suspension. But give it the wide track front axle, larger fuel tank options, and lower gearing options. Heavier frame, 10 lug wheels, and commercial tires not necessary imo.
@TooFastNoBrakes!!! I agree, the only reason I bought a F-450 was because of the wide track front axle. I sold it last summer because of the crazy market the dealer offered me more than I paid even though I had 18,500 miles on it. I got a 2009 Silverado 3500 with 46k miles out of Montana without any rust on it. I'm thinking about another new truck but want to see what Ford does for 23. I loved some things about the having the 4.30 rear, see JB and my trailer drag race videos, but for what I do I'd rather have the better fuel economy of the F-350's 3.73. Same thing with the 19.5s. I liked the stability and long life they offer but the lack of tire flex over the bumps got annoying. I like that there is a full power, bed equipped 450/4500 but yes If I could get a wide track and 60 some gallon tank 350/3500 with I choice of rears, I'd probably go with something like a 3.73, that would be great. As it is I choose the F-450 because the price wasn't that much different than a F-350. I had driven the new Ram 3500, Silverado 3500, and F-350 but the first turn out of the dealer's lot I was sold on the 450. I had a Platinum and I miss some of ths nice things about it but if it wasn't for that front axle and my RUclips channel content I would keep driving this 09 Silverado. I was quite surprised how little I feel like I gave up and I'm very happy to not have to worry about DEF system problems!!
Perfect truck. Just add a Utility Bodywerks color matched hauler bed and possibly a Kelderman Air Ride.
💪🏾💪🏾
I genuinely don’t understand why they don’t offer the 4500/5500 with a mega-cab. Anyone doing hotshoting would looove that extra space.
I can’t understand why either 🤷♂️
Im sorry but i prefer the chrome bumper and grille on the hd trucks. Its just something about it that looks really good to me!
I have this exact truck. limited, aisin transmission even the same color. Only thing that sucks is 60 mph it’s at 2000 rpm. It tows real good
Just bought a brand new 2022 Ram 5500 limited and transfer case went out at 161 miles that’s right
Wow was that surface rust on the front axle already? It looked worse than my 15 year old 360k mile lbz
😂 u got that right, it needs a coating protector as soon as possible
I saw that too
Yeah that's unacceptable on a brand new vehicle, if I wanted to buy this I'd point it all out. Looks like it's already been through multiple winters
Another thing to note is this has the wheel upgrade. You get dual aluminums in the rear vs steel inner and aluminum outer setup.
Need some black touch up paint on that rusty stuff
This will be my next truck. I plan to get a host mammoth truck camper on a Sherptek bed. Can’t wait.
Did you ever get it
Life goals!🇺🇸💪
If you were planning to regularly tow 28000lb, but in long highway trips, so you think you could get by with the 4:44 gears for lower rpm or would you recommend the max tow package for that?
So weird the large screen is not even an option for the Limited in the 5500 now, can’t find it on the build and price for 2024. But you can get it in the Laramie.
That is a beautiful truck. I noticed it has a c channel frame instead of a boxed frame.
Commercial duty setup. Lot heavier gauge channels also
91k LoL lWTF ya right. By the time you get a hauler setup etc. It would be like 130k plus! That's insane.
Yea it’s not cheap
One thing good about this truck you can mix alot of drinks. I wish they would put air ride on this truck like a kenworth
Any idea when Ram is switching from the 6 speed transmission?
Nothing was announced recently, only that their changing the mirrors and a few other things.
Do you know if airbags are an option?
Just ordered a 5500 limited 84CA for my camper build.
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
My thing is for the 60” is this truck longer then a crew cab ram pickup …. From the cab to axle length… honestly I’ve been looking at getting 4.10 gears cause you’d get great mileage
60” is a little over 4” longer
That is a good looking truck.
💯
Wish ram would make this with a regukar pickup box in the back would be sick truck
No purpose for it, these are commercial grade
You can mount a 3500 bed on it
I really appreciate you doing this!!! If there is a way i can tip you $20 for doing this let me know. For whoever is looking for a 5500 limited I'm pretty sure you'll be the first to have done it.
I appreciate that but it’s not necessary 👍🏾👍🏾
Wow awesome!
Those tires sure have a low load rating. 126 versus 128 for other brands. I run 126 on my 17s, and they are only 80 psi for a nice ride.
What's the RGAWR on one of these?
Where can you get a pickup truck bed for something like this? All my googling only turns up flat beds or dump truck beds…
It would have to be custom because the factory bed doesn’t fit perfectly on the cab/chassis
Hey, I have a question for you. On Ford Super Duty Diesels there is an option for a supplementary heating system which is basically an Electric heater in the air ducts to warm up the truck in Cold weather till the engine gets up to temp, which can take a while on a diesel. It is a cold weather option. Does RAM have that capability?
Yes they do have a cold weather option.
Isn't the Cummins/Aisin standard with the 5500? Included in the 50k is pretty quite good.
No lots of work trucks get the gas 6.4
I like a big horn package but is that available in a 4500 but like sport too possible?
The SLT is equivalent to the BH pkg and you can get painted bumpers for that sportier look 👍🏾
It has a lower gear ratio. The bigger the number the lower the speed the higher the engine resolutions .
I always refer to it as a numerically higher ratio because most people don’t understand it when you see higher numbers but referencing it as a lower gearing.
With the 4.89 rears you will be turning 1989 rpm at 65 mph. They are not fast, but they pull great.
How’s a brand new truck already oxidizing?
Yeah that’s crazy
Truck nice but do they come with regular bed's
Unfortunately not in this trim level. The highest trim you can get is a SLT which has some pretty nice features available with it
I have the 5500 Laramie with the 12 inch screen.
Nice!
Let's be honest, whoever gets this is swapping out suspension for Kelderman or Liquid Spring anyway, so the ride isn't that big of an issue.
Seems like most guys using these are loaded down so the ride doesn’t effect you too much 👍🏾
My F-450 was terrible to drive unloaded but with a trailer on the highway it was pretty smooth. Not quite as smooth as my Silverado 3500 but with steel belted tires there's only so many bumps they can soak up. Those Kelderman suspensions are amazing tho!!!
Do they make the 5500 with a High Output option for the drive train ?
They do not 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork thanks for the reply
I’m actually in the market for a truck just like this. If this was available I’ll buy it tomorrow
Yea these things are selling so fast you almost have to hire someone to look for you
That’s for sure. Or order one and wait for months to finally get it
Hit me up. I have one for ready to roll
@gfunk, I have a 2020 Laramie 5500 Cummins with kelderman 4link for sale.
$360 USD to fill those tanks (!) here in the northeast. Gotta pay to play ;-)
Yea but you are only filling it every 1300 miles
84” only. Save $30k and go loaded Tradesman
Did you notice if the Chassis Cabs have the CP3 or did they ever get the CP4. I won’t buy it if they didn’t go back to the CP3. Dealers don’t seam to know. They are only guessing.
Darn I didn’t look…
The 22 has a cp3.5
@@user-bx4vd5ho9p thanks
I have a 5500 exactly the same thing. I don’t like it. Biggest buying mistake I ever made. It is a fuel hog with the 4.89 rear and it rides horrible even with the kelderman air ride. 11 mpg is best I can get pulling nothing. You feel every little crack in the road. I’ve tried Firestone tires and also Michelin tires at all air pressures. Still worst ride I’ve ever owned. Another thing is it doesn’t have high output Cummins which Chrysler won’t put in it. All in all it is no more than a glorified farm or work truck. I bought it to pull a 45 ft toy hauler camper. I wish I would have kept the 2011 3500 Cummins.
It’s a very heavy duty truck what did you expect
Needs a mega cab
Actually the Ford f 550 limited is more expensive than that Dodge Dodge here in Canada Alberta
I didn’t know they made the F550 in a Limited Trim 👍🏾
That's a bit of rust I see on a $90,000 truck. 🤔
i would have walked away, brand new and already rusty ?
RAM no good on pant underneath I have a 2500 2020 same way
WTF RUST on a BRAND NEW TRUCK?????????? UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not saying you're wrong but when I saw the same thing I immediately thought it was cooper anti-seize. It's on all the ends in the front end components and I have a can of it in my toolbox. I think it's a loc-tite product.
@@fornowok That's rust buddy, you can easily tell, there would be overspray all over the place, also that makes no sense why they would use copper spray there, it's pretty much only used for headgaskets
What I don’t get is the person hasn’t even received the truck yet and the bitch has rust ALREADY. I’d be pissed off getting a brand new truck having rust.
Jesus! That is crazy how expensive that truck is. Not worth it at all.
If you can afford it then the cost dosent matter . Maybe you should find a ford ranger if it is more in your price range.
@@pedalingthru2719 that sounds like someone that is in a lot of debt and must barrow the money to get something like this.
Too bad the engines are junk on the 4500s and 5500s maybe one day they will be reliable but they are great tho except junk detuned inferior head and injectors and turbo...
Sorry. But, Rams are behind in power, engines and power trains and overall capability. Rams haven't updated their gear since their re- design in 2018. If you do your research before buying a serious truck, you would get a Ford or GM.
Another ram homer lol
