"You can't guarantee shit." - James.
Words to live by.
His inner roadman came out.
@@GuyMahoney 😂
So I guess Chrysler can't guarantee this truck then?

You missed the ‘mate’ at the end.
This sounds exactly like a husband justifying a vehicle purchase to the wife, lmao.
"What's this bastard?" I'm going to use that whenever a friend/relative introduces their new baby.
My brother had a longhorn. It’s like a limousine. It was such a nice ride. Also, I feel the ram has the best looks of all the trucks save for the sporty Chevy trucks. I do have to say as an overarching statement, the pricing for trucks IS ABSURD!!! They’re not worth the sticker they’re asking.
I put 30,000 miles on a 2019 Longhorn with every option. I just traded it this month. After 2.5 years there was some leaking of the pano sunroof, the right mirror would click and glitch when autofolding, the battery fully drained once which killed it and when that happened I got lane sense, parking sensors and a few other sensors that were unable to be switched on even with a new battery installed (the dealer reset the computer(s) for me which resolved).
99% of the time the truck was wonderful but with a few years and seasons behind it, I can say it is a phenomenal truck but i would NEVER own one out of warranty. The complexity is going to be the death of this thing.
70K is nothing for amount of car you get.
@@tedarcher9120 well that sure thing, they’ve kind of become too much vehicle. Someone needs to reinvent something ranger mk1 size and make it affordable

James is literally a walking brochure for every vehicle on the market 😂
I’m from the uk so we don’t really do pick ups, but having the boot space on the sides seems like a really good idea.
Living in Argentina, where midsized pickups have become the go to in terms of cost/benefits+luxe (I'm serious) I still can't believe how a Ranger/Hilux/Amarok/S-10/Alaskan/Frontier don't have them
It's free real estate!
Being from America, I am highly biased and think that this is an amazing vehicle and I'd rather have this over a large German SUV because of the sensation of driving and owning a big full-size pickup truck
I've had a truck with the ram boxes. They are great.
“The boot”
Non-truck guy here: I just did this same comparison and I came home with the Ram 1500 bighorn + a few option boxes ticked for long-haul race car transport with a covered trailer; skipping the e-torque and air suspension for reliability. I loved the limited, but it was way too extra and I felt like it would fall apart in a few years... another huge plus to the bighorn is the blackout packages are everywhere on lots right now
Minus the over-the-top Longhorn package cowboyness, the Rams are just incredible trucks now.
Good news, you can get one without it.
Honestly pretty comfy with it too. My old man got one (3500 dually) and it's great.
I like that it’s one of the few cars with real wood
I like that splash of character the cowboy/country theme gives it. It's different.
3 years later, it still has the best interior of any truck
Totally agree, but they pack too much money into the interior and the engine and the stuff that matters, suffer.
GM isn't even trying with all that hard plastic interior, and Ford just doesn't know how to do it apparently. Also the ride comfort is great.
Nah. This interior is damn disgusting compared to a f150
@@javentshudy4272 it had a better interior before and it still has a better interior even after the ford redesign.
Do Dodge interiors still fall apart?
Have you consider the name "Just Extra Throttle House" which would abbreviate to J.E. T.H. ?
Thomas will never let that happen. He’s afraid of commitment

Yeah man I'm hooked on that new JETH!
@@jamesengelsman9369 Then if you did a really special hard core episode you could call it MEGA JETH? K…. Leaving.
I'm pretty happy they enjoyed the RAM so much, hope it ends up being the truck they buy, it seems genuinely really good. And there is a package you can get which will black out the chrome
It’s called night edition, my dad got it on his Limited with charcoal gray paint and it’s been a fantastic truck
Yeah I definitely prefer a monochromatic appearance with little to no chrome, that much is just overkill.
@@Flash363 yeah it looks fantastic, and it’s a popular package with chrome starting to go out of style
You can also get body coloured bumpers. It REALLY tones down the chrome. 100% the way to go.
I know you were joking, but having Sam Elliot as my navigation voice WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!!
Someone needs to make this happen.
LMAO my brother and I were just saying the same thing like a month ago.
Lol. That would be the coolest thing to have 👍👍
Especially if you program it based on his character in "The Ranch".
As the owner of a 2019 Longhorn I have zero complaints after 25,000kms of ownership. My wife has a 6,000lb horse trailer and it pulls it with ease and it is an awesome cruiser for daily use. Economy with the eTorque…highway I can get 11.5L/100km.
Your wife is probably a 6000LB Horse
@@drestep4830 oof
25k hahaha
Wait till ur etorque goes out make sure ur pocket book is big highly expensive and 3 to 6 months on back order
What's with this younger generation who hates chrome.?.... Chrome is much more durable than painted bumpers and grills. My last F150 had a painted bumper and in two or three thousand miles and had a hundred rock chips. I think this is some kind of virtue signaling by the hipsters I don't get
“I’m a Truck Guy” sounds like a Monty Python song making fun of Americans
It'd be more like "love me lorrie"
I have a RAM limited and I love it. It's as quiet as my BMW with all of the tech and can tow a boat. It's an awesome vehicle.
I got 8 minutes in and I started bracing for the end 😂
I think I came when he said the Ram is better, about time Ram gets some recognition
I Agree with you Thomas...My uncle owned a Silverado for years and he never put anything in the bed nor towed with it. He just drove it to work. I see 40% of people near me just buy them just to say they have a truck.
That's not a bad thing.
@@RAZGR1Z No, but I'm with the OP in not seeing the appeal of using something that's shit for the job, just because of aesthetics.
Reasons why people buy trucks:
They're reliable- you can easily get 300,000 miles out of most trucks.
They're safer- in the event of an accident, a truck will stand a much better chance vs a car.
They're much more spacious: some people are just bigger, or they like to have large cabins.
@@drod6203 You're talking out your ass.
*Easily* get 300k from *most* trucks? Citation needed.
Trucks also typically lag behind suvs in safety (according to IIHS studies).
@@Ghonosyphlaids heres your citation, I sell cars in west Texas, I've seen multiple trucks with 300k miles on them... its not uncommon at all to see them with 200k miles. A good majority of trucks around here will be 2019 with 150k miles
I literally jumped to the end just to see the outro😂😂😂...and i was not disappointed
This truck interior is next level. Nothing in the world compares truck or car. Magnificent. Well done RAM.
The Longhorn is a luxury truck trim. Its all about being a comfortable “utility?” Vehicle. Honestly I was sold on the air suspension.
The best part is you can get the air suspension on the bighorn, so you can get a truck with it for an actually reasonable price
As a previous ram bighorn owner I love this thing. It’s seriously hyper usable and surprisingly quick, and (swear to god) if the power goes out in a storm you can literally get a multi outlet extension cord plug it up and it will run your T.V., game console, refrigerator, and floor mounted A/C unit. For days. I’m not kidding. I did it 😂
I can listen to James say “torque” and “chalk” all day.
Ram designs the best ever trucks !!
Luxury,technology and everything and specially off-roading..i love these trucks.
This duo never fails when it comes to giving me the info I need ....great job
I picked up my 2021 RAM 1500 Limited Night Edition a few months ago and I love it! I use it for work and if anything just daily driving to anywhere. Towing is easy, comfort is great, and I just couldn't ask for more in my first pick up truck! And yes, "nice truck, son" is a comment I get quite a bit. Looking to get a camper for it, some 33's AT tires, and a Carven Muffler cuz it's pretty quiet which is disappointing cuz of that sweet sweet 5.7L Hemi. Great video gents!
Had my Longhorn since January 2019. First Ram product. Just love it like the day I bought it. Zero, Zero issues so far.
This is my favorite series you guys do!
This is what a review is like! These guys are so awesome!
You guys crack me up. Very informative, funny and entertaining all at the same time.
I had the same view about trucks until I bought one. In June I bought my first truck, a White RAM 1500 Limited with the night appearance package and I can wholeheartedly say I will never go back to a car again. The air suspension is great even with the 22's, the utility is awesome, plenty of space for a family of 4 and luggage, and the truck gets more looks than my previous CL63 AMG. All around win for RAM, guess that's why it's Truck of the Year.
Rented a Ram Rebel for a 2K mile trip last year. I was shocked at its silence and buttery suspension. So comfortable and solid feeling. Drank like a sailor on leave, but still a really impressive ride.
Thomas’s stance on trucks is spot on
Another great review, guys you energy is awesome
Trucks are amazing if you tow or not. You get full size in cabin space plus a whole bed in the back for whatever you need to haul around if you ever need too. Also higher off the ground
The RAM is by far the best truck. Good job guys.
I'm planning a custom western themed interior for my own truck, the longhorn is one of the primary trims I'm taking inspiration from.
You are correct that the Ram is better, Thomas, as far as ride. I have a 2021 Ram Limited. If you don’t care for all that chrome, as I don’t either, you can get a black out package for $3,000 bucks, or do what I did, and replace much of the chrome with eBay black lettering, black mirror caps, and order the color-matching bumpers. I also painted the chrome wheels with dupli-color matte black spray paint.
You’ll enjoy the quiet and comfortable ride, and you guys deserve it. The Tundra’s interior is about 300 years old. The F-150 looks great too, but ride is not as nice and my experience is that the F-150 in Platinum trim is more expensive than a comparably-equipped Ram in Limited trim. The Silverado and Sierra are ok, but the interiors are also aged.
The Sierra, Silverado, and F-150 have unique and arguably better tailgates, whereas the Ram has a split tailgate option, but the Ram is the only one to offer the Ram boxes, where I keep road-side tools and gear. Also, the Ram has storage bins behind the front seats on the floor. Get there in comfort, and then race. Then come back home in comfort. Get the Ram.
He says “I get it”. The more you drive the Ram the less you want to drive anything else. Especially with the air ride. The Etorque makes shifting extremely smooth and improves fuel economy about 1-2 mpg. It is an extremely impressive vehicle.
I took a quick glance at the name of the video and was like "omg TH you naughty boys!" 🤣
I never in my life liked trucks or would EVER consider owning one in my life until I sat inside of this truck at the Orlando Auto show and I said the same thing: "I get it". I could own one of these without needing to tow something.
Every…every damn time you see “not a truck person” drive one, the level of “oh my God I love this” never ceases to amaze me.
Meh, I’m not a truck guy and I drove my father’s Ram. I wouldn’t get one as I felt like I was driving a building. Absolutely no fun in driving one, a far cry from my Veloster N in fun factor. It’s absolutely amazing as a tool though.
@@C172fccc well I guess there’s always that one guy. yeah I’m not a car guy, and every time I ride in the wife’s hybrid, I feel like I’m trapped in a tiny box with no visibility.
They should put the TRX engine in a non-off-road truck like this.
I think the 6.4 would be a better engine to put into the 1500 as an upgraded engine, for the non TRX trims, as the TRX needs to have a special engine
THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING! I’m an Audi RS7 owner and buying a truck to pull my boat … Couldn’t decide between the Rebel 1500 Night edition and the Laramie Night edition, I chose the REBEL because of you guys … Thnx !
Chrome is the best part of the pickup trucks, especially when you have the gorgeous Longhorn version.
I am glad you. Said something about the chrome
My dad has a 2019 bighorn with the sport package. I like that it doesn't have a lot of chrome and has a large screen but not the tablet sized one.
I drive a 2021 ram 1500 big horn and I love it. Ride so smooth and has a nice interior. And that is a big horn. Towing is awesome we have a 26 feet trailer. Tows so easily
Hey Guys, One small side bar on the chrome. I’ve found that the chrome is tougher against getting scratched etc than body colour on the bumpers. I’ve owned trucks with both body colour paint and chrome... I was forever touching up the paint on the body colour bumper... Good luck on your choice... a lot of capable trucks out there.
If you want a Ram, but don't like the chrome, consider looking at the Ram 1500 Sport, Canada exclusive!
I have a 2020 Big Horn North Edition with the off road package. Wonderful truck. I’m very happy with it.
If you tow a lot air suspension is %100 a must have. It makes it so much better and easier so hook up and un hitch and your headlights will actually point in the right direction.
Ram has done a great job with their trucks.
Just got to the part they said it cost 90k. Wow. I bought my 2017 Chevy 3500HD High country long bed 4x4 with a Diesel Loaded to haul our horse trailer new for under 70k. The Ram is really nice but not 90k nice.
Deadly truck. What a interior.
Non-truck guy here and also chose the RAM for a truck for work use. I'm in Texas and got thee Longhorn package for $40K USD back when this video was released. I like it too, but I still drive my performance cars when I don't need a truck. I'm not griping anymore like I did in my 2.7L Tacoma.
When you realize the Extra TH is just the same quality as the original TH
Also, Thomas, those 90's off-Green shoes are pretty sick. They also do NOT match that same shade of 90's Purple slapped on a flannel hahaha
You’re dead on. I own a 2020 Ram Longhorn as my first truck to tow my Trailex trailer and my Z4M Coupe to track events. The ride and capability is amazing. Add a “baller” (Borla) S-Type exhaust and it awakens the hemi without being obnoxious.
i’ve been daily driving my dads 11’ 1500 5.7 and it’s honestly an amazing car. no complaints or issues. although i don’t tow too often it def comes in handy when i need to. only thing that sucks is gas
This is a nice truck, love the color.
10 months trouble free. With my 2021 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn. None of that Tree Hugger. 5.7 E- Torque stop - start crap on mine. And Neg- 30 Deg MN winter, and the Air Ride is perfect.
Ram has such a huge opportunity to make the Rampage concept (yes, the sliding rear doors are a must), and steal the segment.
Went though the exact same thing. Hit Ford, hit Toyota, left with a Ram Limited. It's not even close, but I wasn't buying during COVID and not only was it the superior vehicle, but I got an amazing deal on it. The problem is that it was so damn nice that I caught myself out there detailing the bed after hauling a box.....plus they gave me more than I paid for it on a trade-in. It was too nice to be a truck, it was too big to be a real daily driver. So I traded it in on an 2022 MDX for the wife and I get the Stinger GT. I do miss it sometimes....except anytime I'm trying to park.
Love the ram, great ride
I have never seen chrome looking so good on anything that ain't Cadillac
I just subscribed! I can’t believe it took me this long.
I have a 2020 1500 sport loaded and no chrome I do love the truck it's a great truck.
The Ram is much better than what they used to be but I think I’d still have the f150. I like how James always remembers vehicle stats.
I special ordered my 2020 Longhorn 4x4 EcoDiesel. It's my dream truck. I got it without the big screen, sunroof, etc., but I did get the air suspension, off-road group, larger fuel tank and dealer-installed OEM power running boards. I love it and it wasn't quite as expensive as the trucks with all the options. US$64K sticker price.
Good luck with the Eco, your gonna need it.
I love that truck, it's really nice
my favorite truck! il watch the video now...
I’ve owned a Ram, F150, and now a Tacoma. They’re all great trucks overall but the organic driving experience of my manual Tacoma TRD Pro has been the most satisfying. I also trust Toyota over every other automaker in terms of reliability.
Rented one of these (in a more base spec obv, but still crew cab) for garage cleaning reasons and frankly it was pretty good.
You guys should submit a color name change for that red at Stellantis '' Dry blood ' ... from your Ford ennemy ! they always have cool color name , it would be 100% approved
Switch to the "limited" trim and add the Night addition package if you want to ditch the chrome. It also gives you more interior color options
I have this truck, but with the color-keyed front bumper which cuts down on at least some of the obnoxious chrome. I didn't opt for air suspension because I know I'd want to lift it (and did). Still rides like a dream and the wife approves.
I worked at a dodge dealership and i was a porter so I drove everything, and it took this gen Ram to make me interested in trucks and i plan on getting a Ram
2:20 - "Body-Color Bumper Group" is the option you need.
I have that on my Limited and it drastically alters the appearance. Takes the semi cab look out of it.
Those looked like the 20" wheels. Any seat time with the 22"? Curious if the ride is compromised when you go that big or if the air suspension could still sort it out? My wife's 2019 XC90 Inscription has the 21" without air suspension and the ride is a lot harsher/noisier than I'd like. I'm hoping swapping out the Pirelli's for Michelins will solve this.
So far this is the one I like the most for you guys to buy
So good!
This truck is amazing.
Would love to see you guys review more trucks, you guys tell the facts w humor and that is the recipe 🥸
Buy it, it's the best truck now. That's coming from a life long bowtie fan. You spend most of your time inside the truck and the interior is lightyears beyond the others and the air suspension gives the best ride
I love the nifty optional features that the Honda Ridgeline did years and years ago lol.
The review is fair. I'd lay off the insults on the demographics that actually fuel your jobs. BTW, I just bought this truck in the 2022 version which added some nice touches to it.
Fellas, get your Ram Longhorn with body colored bumpers, like I did. The chrome grill stays, but the painted bumpers elevate the overall look of the truck.
Also, have the exterior door and tailgate badging removed. The 2 hood badges and tailgate's ram logo are integrated into the body, so they can't go away.
Trucks are a necessity in this giant state of Texas. There is never a time when I wish I didn’t have a truck.
If you like this and don't like the chrome and you would like even more range, get a 1500 limited night edition with the 3.0 v6 turbo diesel. Amazing engines. Really smooth and quiet!
I have a 2013 laramie longhorn..i love it. Does the 2021 still have the cooler "gun case" under floor mars in the back??
That kind of stitching has a name by the way, it's called filigree! The name applies to all the artsy engravings in the gauge cluster as well. Its a cool western art style.
Love ya both
I think the best overall truck for truck stuff would be a mid spec F150 with a few options and the powerboost in rapid red
Ram is better
@@jett5084 I agree when it comes to usability for family stuff yeah and heavy duty work the 6.4 is a better engine but the f150 is the go to for usability what with the powerboost
@@jett5084 only 1400 pounds of payload means towing plus carrying people and gear is extremely limited on the ram compared to the other brands
I really want to be a truck guy, cause they keep making them packed with features. But, alas, I’m much more a Thomas and James.
Great video boys. A few comments tho: The Powerboost has a lower towing capacity and lower payload than most trucks out there due to the extra weight. If you are buying for towing, it for sure isn't the answer. The 3.5L Ecoboost would do a lot better.
You may also want to avoid the Ram airbags here in Canada. LOTS of horror stories in winter where the moisture inside the airlines freezes up and the suspension fails.
Ram Sport 1500 is what you guys need!
Corrections, for interested parties:
1) On the Ford F-150, Powerboost models have an increased GVWR (7300lbs vs 7050 on 4x4 crew cabs) to compensate for the added weight of the hybrid system and batteries. So while payload is still nothing to write home about, it is indeed a) inline with non-Powerboost trucks, and b) higher than any Ram’s payload, trim for trim.
2) The sentiments surrounding Ram’s poor air suspension reliability in cold climates like Canada relate to the4th gen (through 2018) trucks. Ram redesigned the system for the 5th gens, and to everyone’s surprise complaints from the snow-belt about issues are all but non-existent.
@@upshifter5316 Thanks for the comment.
1) I meant towing capacity as opposed to GVWR. Towing capacity and payload are down indeed.
2) The system was re-designed indeed but still suffers the same problems. Most dealers and sales persons here will advice to getting the airbags. Talking with mechanics at the dealer also confirms this.
RAM is the total way to go. I will agree not this edition but they do everything awesome with all the perks you want.
Geography and my preferences prevent me from ever considering a truck, but the ingenuity that goes into developing the features of these things is impressive. It does make you wonder whether so many American cars are that average because the big 3 spend all their cash on developing nifty new features for Rams, Broncos and Escalades.
Also, this might be the first time I’ve considered a car’s interior hilarious.
The ending always gets me. 😂😂😂
I would love one of these with the Overland package. That would be “baller”.
You mean that would be Borla??
Did I see that end coming..... yea. Did I still like the ending......yeah
Daily’d a 19’ Longhorn for 2 years now. I’ll give you the rundown. The Etorque is a gimmick. The only thing it does is provide seamless auto on/off and a super annoying initial 1/2 turn of the tires in electric mode. When pulling out into traffic, if you need to hammer down, by the time the engine kicks on you already have the skinny pedal planted bc you need to “go”, you peel out, every time. Hit the button to turn that off. You are right about how well it drives though. Get the body colored bumpers, minimizes the chrome. Do not get the ram boxes, they notoriously come out of alignment and decrease payload. The seats are a little stiff to me, I’ve owned multiple high end vehicles though, Audi Q7, Infinity QX80 etc. I got the towing spec, 3.92 gears. Its peppy, but get horrible mpg. I initially got 12. Then I put the Mopar 2” lift with 35s, total average is 13 mpg in 2 years. It. Is. THIRSTY. It tows really well, my 4K lb trailer and RZR combo is nothing to it. It tows like a beast. If it got better mpg I’d never consider selling it. Everyone says the 5.7L just needs to “break in” for better mpg, that is BS. Had a Gen2 Raptor previously, Ford had better seats, better mpg, and well, the Raptor rode like an Escalade. All in all the Ram is a great truck. Side note, TFL Truck did a towing comparison, the Ram got better mpg while towing then the new Ford Powerboost. Not surprised. Any electric assist will lack under load. Oh and my kids love the rear cooled seats. Not many vehicles even offer that under $100K USD.
I have a 13 Longhorn, and fully agree. Towing my Talon is does not even see a hill, but finds every gas station dropping from 20-22 to 10-12 with only 4K weight of a trailer. 160k so far… normal stuff plus a heater core, can’t complain.
