    From an Aussie living in Canada and a land cruiser fanboy, having used these 2500’s for work for the past three years, it pains me to admit they’re an absolute dream of a truck

      I went to put the money on the table but. We on Australia can't have the limited version in the 2500 or the midnight black out option or factory air bags or full leather seats. I just can't say I like that big grille in chrome. It's also about $10,000 more expensive than a Chev. I am going to hold out until towards the end of 2024 and hope supply options change.

    Really enjoy the Patriot channel, keep up the great work mate. I am also considering a 2500 series truck, doesn't the Ram 2500 only offer about 850kg payload with no option to increase as this is max from the US? For higher payloads one would have to look at the Ram 3500. The Silverado 2500HD thou comes stock with about 1400KG payload with much higher rated engine(Duramax 335kw/1234nm) and gearbox (Alison branded 10spd). Would you consider doing a Silverado HD2500 anytime?

    Hi Justin, love your reviews. I have just taken delivery of this same vehicle. One great feature of the digital rear view mirror is that a camera on the rear of the trailer, in my case a caravan, allows you to get great visibility of traffic behind the trailer, activated by Tow/Haul switch. Well, this is what Mopar and the marketing videos say, but My local RAM dealer has not been able to find out how to do it or what kits are required. Is this something that you have come across or would be interested in given that you do a lot of towing. I would love to find out how to do it, camera specs required, programming required, etc.

    Just found your channel. Some great content and family experiences. I'm here in California, Own a 2022 Ram 2500 Power Wagon. The PW comes 2 1/2 inch lift over a stock 2500 and special suspension parts. 12,000 lbs winch, Limited slip rear Diff. Lockers front and rear, disconnect sway bar. I went from 1500 to 2500 to pull a 7,000lbs boat. Sure the 1500 is rated to pull it but the 2500 handles it much better, and don't mean just pulling forward. Turning, stopping and handling the trailer in mountain curves.
    I'm sure you saw one while in the States, Mega Cab. It's like the back seat of a Limo. Stupid amount of room for a truck.
    Enjoy your truck, it will serve you well.
