*What's your favorite "hidden feature" in your truck?*
Using voice command to adjust inside temperature
You may know this, but you can disable the seat belt chime. At least in my 17 you can, assume you can in other years. You buckle up, and click ignition to Run but do not start it (foot off brake). Then unbuckle and buckle three times in a row. Then click ignition to off. This will disable it chirping at you for not having a seat belt on. You can reactivate it with same steps. Now, before people bitch at me, I did this because I am constantly going a 1/4 or 1/2 a mile and stopping to get out to check a field or whatever. I do alot of very short stop and starts, so I hated hearing that chime when I was driving a half a mile in a pasture going 15 mph. Of course, when I am going down the road, I buckle up. I love that hidden feature.
The console fits a full size clipboard with plenty of extra room. In every other truck the clipboard gets thrown on the dash and slides around. Also slots for paperwork on both side of the center console. Did I mention I love the center console😁
Also, the back headrests will fold down completely forward to give you a clear view of your back window.
I haven't found it yet! I'll keep looking.
I completely fell for the disc trick. Had me about to go to garage and start pressing buttons at 1:30am lol
Hahaha, that’s great. Thanks for watching buddy!
I swear this is one of the nicest looking trucks
Thank you, Haden. For being a dirty ole work truck she sure does turn a lot of heads.
FYI The purpose of the headrest is to be turned around and ratcheted down to allow room for a cowboy hat 👍🏼
Genius!
@drivendefense How do you do that though?
The foam rubber bottle holders for the front doors may not be included on your trim level but are worth purchasing. Different custom molded parts left and right. Holds bottles snugly, prevents rattles, and foam insulation keeps cold drinks cold.
The best video on ram features ever )) The trick with horn when you deal with the tire hose is very valuable. Thanks, man!!
Absolutely! It definitely has helped me and I wanted to share. Thanks for watching!
I'm not a Ram fan, but you have to admit that they have beaten everyone else in features hands down.
I wasn't a Ram fan either until I bought one I've been a chevy guy my whole life I've owned other makes as well but when I was in the market for a new truck I test-drove everything I mean everything and ended up buying a 2021 Ram Limited best decision I ever made I love this truck I wouldn't take (2) New Silverado's for my Ram 💯
For the string behind the back seat, I tied a string to a keyring and looped it into one of the headrest post going into the back of the seat and it's always there when you need it.
That's a good idea. Luckily I don't get back there very often so don't always need it. But a good tip nonetheless. Thanks for watching!
You had me going on that last one. Good to know for whenever I get my Ram! love the videos
Haha, I was hoping to trick a couple of ya! Thank you for watching!
Awesome. I learned so much! Didn’t know the rear USB played music through the system, or many other of the tips
I got to say man that was a great video… Nice job on the “groceries” and of course the other theatrics :-). The hacks are very cool though thank you for that!!
Keep it coming loving these videos
Thank you for the feedback. We will keep them coming. Let us know if there is anything specific you’re wanting to see!
To add, the tire psi fill assist is very accurate. When I found a flat on my 2020 laramie one day, it said I needed to specifically bring the tire psi up to 36 psi. It honked and blinked like yours as soon as my guage got to 36psi (used flexzilla tire inflator). Aside from the bins, tie downs, & bag hooks, I didnt know about the rest so thanks👍👍. Mine didn't come with a CD player.
Also, idk if yours has it being that it has air suspension, but there are supposed to be electronic vibration dampers on the frames to aid in ride quality.
Never been big dodge / ram fan...recently got a 2019 ram rebel and can't complain one bit about the damn thing. Does everything I need great!
Cool stuff. Thanks for sharing 👍
lol "soda, soda, soda"
shhh 🤫
Killed me too hahaha
Ya! Not diet soda but light soda.
You forgot about the “sauce holder” between the cup holders front and rear. Perfect for Popeyes and McDs sauces.
I like that "soda" cans part 😅
I love his reviews. It's super helpful!. I just received my 2021 Ram and I've learned so much from you!
That’s great to hear! Glad you got a new 5th gen as well. What color did you go with? RamBoxes?
@@MrJustinWheeler I think it's pretty similar with yours. It's limited, black with RamBoxes, but mine came with cargo divider.
@@MrDaewonLee don't rub it in! I am still butt hurt over not getting my divider. Lol! Enjoy the new truck!
@@MrJustinWheeler lol thanks!
The truck has to be on for the horn to honk when filling the tire. Ask me how I know!
You got me too.... Straight up fell for disc trick... Lol good vids bro
The soda 🥤 wow 🤩 😂😂😂, good review brother beautiful truck
Love the head rest tilted forward a bit when driving, it actually improves your posture and helps avoid fatigue on long trips.
I own a 2022 Ram 1500 sport big horn and I totally love it great trucks...
My F-150 does the same thing with this headrest. If you ride with your seat recline back the headrest can lean forward for a more comfortable angle.
Keep going on air, at +5 psi it horn honks 3-times.
You feel safe, transporting live bees in your cabin? No amount of straps make that safe.
On my 2020 RAM 1500 Laramie: one tap on the washer fluid button on the stalk and you get one wipe, very convenient. On my other cars you get a washer fluid dribble, no wipe, or 3 wipes you didn't want.
Airing up tire is cool.well I enjoy the video of things in the truck since I'm going to check out this ram truck . Miss havin one like I had in Texas. Thanks!
The hood catch release is centered under the front edge indentation of the hood. Easy to find!
If you have the rear corner retractable step, there is a trick to retract it. For safety, it cannot retract if you are stepping on it and it needs slight upward pressure to retract. No need to kick it or use force. Just nudge it with your knee which applies the right amount of upward force to allow it to retract.
The horizontal chrome pieces on my Laramie grill are rubber mounted and flex slightly if you grab them. I believe this is to prevent harmonic vibration and/or whistling at speed.
Damn! I almost ran outside to get my free NSYNC CD! lol Good tips man
OMG Dude you nailed this....
Love the soda cans ! LOL
You can cancel the MDS by hitting your gear selector to -8. If your in 8th gear just hit - on gear selector. You will see -8. By doing this the MDS is disabled. Have to do this ever time when you shut it off though. I don’t like the MDS system.
the mds system is fine as long as you use high quality full synthetic oil and do changes every 6000 miles when running light and 3000 when running heavy. -first gen hemi owner
@@james2042 Hmmm. I change my oil even early. But so many opinions on Hemi MDS system. More say it’s not good cause it may cause lifter issues. Yes I use full synthetic also.
@@ramrider1453 and those lifter issues are caused by lack of oil pressure, which is what happens when your oil gunks up from being in there way too long
Also your cornering lights will work if you have the high beams on, appreciate the truck feature videos have a great day.
Does this (psi alert) work for the 2500? I have a 2020 Power Wagon and had to put some air in a tire and I just ran back and fourth to make sure the levels were even, but I never got any warning.
Just gota 2021 Big horn sport and Im lovin it. Watched about every review on youtube lol. Seems theres a lot of things, that arnt documented or I just havent seen till I watched the vids. One Item that I found that no ones mentioned or just havent seen is the passenger head rests fold flat allowing a unobstrucked view thru the review mirror if you dont have the digital review mirror.
I want to know what caliber ammo you had in the box of Blazers?
Those are my favorite Sodas man!!
Have heard you can drill holes in ram bin to drain water under the truck.....idk if there is metal under those bins but someone has done it for sure
First time I put air in my My Ram it scared the hell out of me too lol and still does
the first time this happened it scared the shit out of me i wasnt ready for it
Lol the "soda"!
Im just here for the beard evolution... Thumbs up
Haha, thanks Mike! Gotta have my thick beard for the winter!
I'm 6 foot1 and I like my head rest forward back parallel on long trips
The headrests angle that way to help prevent whiplash.
Does the truck have to be running to do the horn honk on tire pressure fill?
I run my tires at 40psi due to constant payload, if I let my truck idle in the sun for long enough it will honk at me for the tire pressure because the suns heat raises the pressure
Thats a wonderful place to put "soda" hahahah!
Good info...
Hey bro. Where’s your phone mount from.
This is my dream truc dude
It's an awesome one for sure. I've been very fortunate to be able to acquire this one. Keep grinding and you'll get one some day! Thanks for watching.
LOL! "Soda" (Light)
Gotta keep it "Light" for this dad bod! Thanks for watching!
TBH a disc drive should still be a MUST in all vehicles. I’ll be damned if I buy a vehicle and I can haul my giant case of cds with me.
that always helps. ex wifes 2013 rogue does that. it helps
Lol great video
For tire inflation in my garage, I use a Schumacher 1200A Battery Extender which has a rechargeable jump starter battery and a built in air pump and digital pressure gauge. It can jump start a car and even more commonly useful, can inflate your tires to a preset level quickly and accurately. Can do 3 cars including spare tires on one charge. Much better than doing it at the gas station with a tire guage and a lot less noisy than the small tank air compressor I had been using (needed hearing protection when using that one).
In the rear seats, below is a D ring. What is the for?
Tire Fill Alert page 100 of manual.
I use the pull cord of the rear seat to access the window drain sunroof. I see that; you also did not get the cargo gate “post and lock” at the rear of the bed. The cargo management include the gate but not the “post and locks”. Had to purchase them myself in order to extend the cargo gate over the tailgate⛄️
How’s your new tires?⛄️
How is your RamBox lid alignment? When you open them, do they run the weather stripping for the tonneau cover rails?
There is definitely some contact between the RamBox lids and bedcover rails. It’s not ideal, but it doesn’t appear to be causing any damage to either the RamBoxes or the cover. Thanks for watching!
@@MrJustinWheeler What about actual fitment of the RamBox lid? Does it align well with the box side panels? I'm thinking about taking my truck to the dealership to see if they can play around with the latch (definitely more movement on one side vs the other)
@@jmtjmt-jo7zj just bought a 21 Laramie and driver side box is misaligned, waiting on a dealer tool so they can realign it ,
Is there a feature if your keys are locked in your truck while its running
With 235000 plus.what mechanical problems.i have 2021 etorque 5.7.76000.bought new
Hi, I like the review. I take away from the review is that the air ride system is something that I would not to have. I liked the series overall.
Loren
I wouldn't buy a Ram without the 4 corner Air suspension. My last 2 Rams have had it and l love it.
i thought the back seat cup holders was for cups with a handle
6:46 hahahah nice feature .
I noticed if you keep filling the tires after it honks, it will go 2 or 3 psi more and then do a double honk. I'm not sure what it means, but I usually fill it up to that double honk.
Yep you are right. And it seems as if the hazards come on as soon as it notices the air pressure increasing. Have you noticed that?
@@MrJustinWheeler That I haven't actually noticed, though I wasn't really paying attention when I hopped back in.
The double honk means that you overinflated the tires.
overinflated the tires
What others have stated, double honk means an over inflation. If I understand the system right, if you go past that, it will continue to honk &/or flash, either constant or every couple of mins, until the psi is brought back down.
Nice. Thanks for sharing #JTRSPARTACUS
The running lights also flash when you’re getting close to filling the tire up to the right pressure. Something else I found out when my tires got low. If your truck has six passenger seating you won’t have the tablet holder capability for the backseat passengers. The lower and models typically won’t have most of the so-called Easter eggs at the higher end ones will.
Hey buddy, what was that CD you pulled out you CD player? I'm sorry I mess it...
It was an old N Sync CD. Don't judge me! We had a 90's themed Halloween party last month so I happened to have it laying around. Lol
@@MrJustinWheeler
🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Bye bye bye” lol
Would your spend your money on another Ram? I just traded my 19 Silverado LTZ z71 6.2 that I was having issues with for a 20 Ram limited. So far it’s been amazing so I’m hoping it’ll be good for 3-4 years
Yes sir I would. I’m close to 90k miles now and it still looks and rides great. You’ll easily get 4 years out of it.
As for myself I would. Really have nothing bad to say so far. No issues at all. It will be two years in January 2021. 👍👍👍

Which dash cam app do you use for your iPhone setup?
I used the "Driver" app from the App Store. It worked pretty well. However, the phone couldn't handle the heat during the summer and would routinely shut off. So it may not work for you depending on where you are and how you drive. Something to consider.
@@MrJustinWheeler thanks
Nice joke!! 😅🤣 You had me going for a sec
I want to get one of these limiteds but the Ecodiesel.
If the eco diesel had been available when I bought this, I probably would have went with it. Still love the Hemi though!
Do you have to have tire pressure displayed for it to work???
Nope
Kwik Trip, free air and you set your psi to stop once it reaches it. Did I say free air, yes free air with gauge at Kwik Trip!
I found the "honk the horn" feature interesting but not as much as the fact that:
a- air pumps don't beep when you hit your target pressure in the US??
b- you have to PAY to pump your tires?? I mean, GODDAM! I don't think I've ever heard of that in my life... currently in Australia but this is the 3rd country I've lived in and never had to pay. Go figure.
Other than that, great channel! Lots of good info and has pretty much sold on the Ram! Cheers
I know I'm late to comment on this, but some gas stations don't charge for air, and in some states gas stations aren't allowed to charge for air but the result I've seen is another company owns the air pump, or the gas station just lets it go to crap. I'd rather just throw in a dollar in a pinch or air up at home.
Commenting even later. 😂 Here in Canada, we didn't use to have to pay for air, and it was those great air pumps connected to the garage's compressor. Now they all use those independent ones with an internal compressor, and you have to pay. Some even take debit now. 🤦♂️ Cheers! 🇨🇦
Soda Light!!!! Lol
Picking up my big horn Wednesday, good to know!
Thanks for watching - enjoy your new truck!
@@TruckCentral ty!
Seriously considering a 2022 Limited or maybe even a TRX if I can save enough coin!
Coming from a GM and Ford family, I’ve been a bit leery, but the more I read, it seems the 2019+ Rams are seriously good trucks! Super high quality, comfy, capable and it appears, reliable!
An '06 1500 daily driver survived 13 yrs with me from me being 19yr old in college to trading it in when I was 33yr old. The "old truck" repairs didn't start happening until after the 9th yr & they were common, old vehicle problems that roughly averaged out 1 issue a yr. I never had major engine or drivetrain issues. Basic maintenance was done the entire time although I did use amsoil & literally changed my oil once a yr or 25k miles, whichever came first. All above is what made me want to buy another.
@Speed Gate so crazy and cool to see such a quality, American product! 💪
@@UNSC011001 thanks for the real world info, I appreciate it. That’s good to know!
@Speed Gate with other oils i would agree. However, if you use amsoil's signature series oil & their filter in a mechanically sound engine, they guarantee 1yr or 25k miles of protection, whichever comes first or 15k & 1yr for severe duty. The truck didn't smoke unless it was cold (like every other vehicle) & there was a front timing cover leak towards the end of me owning it, that's all. I used amsoil for at least 10 yrs, 2 of which mileage was 21-23k a yr. I recommend it👍
I just activated the N’Sync Easter egg. I’m surprised they made a “Ram only” CD. Beautiful love songs including “Ram it in ‘er One More Time” and “Ram Ram Ram”
🤣 🤘
Every car I own or drive has a tire pressure gauge in it
Dude, you should’ve got the Tradesmen instead of the Limited. You carry a lot of crap inside your nice truck. I have a Rebel, and I don’t keep it messy like that. But thanks for the tips and tricks buddy!
I carry a whole garage full of tools with me at all times. I probably should have gotten a tradesmen, but I just love the comfort of the limited. I've turned it into a work truck. Lol
The hooks under the back seat is to secure a child’s car seat not to hold grocery bags 🤣
Says who?
👍
Excellent feature-interior d rings.
Ex has the truck now.
So I'll just get my own. Got my grown son and fbmechanic nephew going with me. I know they will want yo borrow it to go to river with canoes. Lol and let bears and beavers chase them lol
the flipping the seat forward is for childseat anchors, surprising you didn't catch that since you're a parent
That makes sense. I can reach the anchor without pulling the seat forward, but that definitely would make it easier. Thanks for watching!
I drink the same soda
🤣👍
Or you carry a tire gauge
Is that johny Hendricks former ufc champ?
He’s from Oklahoma too!
most vehicles have/do alot of this for years
Just bought a Laramie with HK system......its pretty dissapointing....am an avg guy not stereo fanatic but this system is like " really this cost extra".......already looking for solutions after day 1.....
