I have a 2015 RAM 2500 Limited Mega Cab which I custom ordered. It's now 4 years old and I've put 118k trouble free miles on it. If I had it to do over again I would NOT get the Ram Box option. I thought that they'd be functional and worthwhile but actually they're not. I hardly use them except to keep some jumper cables and a couple of jugs of washer fluid. I wish I had gotten a cap instead...I think it would have given me more flexibility and more cargo carrying capacity. Just my two cents.
Ordered my Ram 2500 Limited in April. Same maximum steel exterior but with the light interior, and in the Hemi. Counting the days until delivery. Thinking about a custom exhaust for more growl. Couldn’t find a Carven but did find a Flowmaster for this year/model.
Drivetrain is the same as previous body style, odd shifting trans , slack in rear axle , bangs into gear reverse to drive , doesn't handle bumps well on highway especially towing. Had 2017. F 350 extended cab , traded in for 2019 ram 2500 Laramie Cummins. Had for 3 weeks. Traded in for 2019 crew cab lariat ultimate package, diesel. Ford shifts smooth, tight drivetrain , more power , aluminum cab , larger cab especially back seat , handles like it's on rails on highway. More bed space , telescoping steering column.
Ben, RAM boxes are good for many buyers, not for me. They really take too much bed space and it is hard to find hard bed covers. I am with you, RAM boxes are not for me. Keep up the great videos.
I think the 3500 dually Limited would be the “most expensive Ram you can buy” if it’s actually a loaded up Limited. That is, if they don’t offer a 4500 Limited lol
The only thing I’d like to see added is a ford style tailgate step. I hate the add on corner bumper step. I don’t mind the split tailgate on the f-150. Then a hitch step would work well.
The power running boards seem like a cool idea IN THEORY. However, they have been shown to experience deployment issues during extreme cold weather (and in Canada -25C is considered not bad for a winter day :-D ) Old fashioned fixed running boards may be low tech, but they do the job regardless of temperatures.
Have an 04 Ram Cummins, wish it had the side boxes.. I carry allot of tools and other items with me, and needed to get a bed tool box. Unfortunately it takes up allot of room. Beautiful Truck.
ItchyTriggerFinger 76 do a swing toolbox. Works amazing and takes almost no room at all and you wouldn’t have to worry about those ugly built in toolboxes in the bed 💀
Pretty much the best truck money can buy, Mopar or no car baby, mega cab or no cab!!!!! Ford and Chevy have a long way to go to catch up. As far as I'm concerned, the Megacab is the major thing that's killing the others n heck I would've bought a nice GMC 2500 if they had the same cab but they have the smallest 4 door around.
Hey can you check the Navigation in the search bar next time? I’ve had my 19 limited ram for almost 2 months and the navigation doesn’t and Uconnect doesn’t know why.
The tow mirrors on this 2500 are much better then the 1500.. You can actually get the 360 camera now and they're power folding with the view light.. Hope the 1500 can upgrade to these at some point.
It be something if Ram had quad zone climate control with a power back seat that is more like in a Mercedes S650 long wheel base where the fount passenger seat moves foreword a foot rest comes out with full executive rear package luxury back seat style in a truck
Fiat or not, if it has a Cummins in it, I am there. Have an 04 Ram 3500, still going 💪 and paid for, it’s my work truck. Would love one of these new ones just can’t justify it yet.
Chrysler would have gone under if not for Fiat. The capital management group who purchased Chrysler from Benz ran it into the ground. I think Bob Nardeli was part of that group. Fiat brought Chrysler back from the brink of death.

I’ll stick to my 85 power ram 150. It gets the job done . Nothing beats a square body 😗👌🏻 plus it doesn’t look like Ram bread with a Toyota. Pop out looking like the 5th gen does . Just saying .
Your speech is way too fast. Breath buddy!!! Slow down your delivery, give your viewers time to comprehend everything you‘re talking about. If this were an accident, I‘d have whiplash. Meant well Ben 👍
Hmm historically unreliable... slant 6 used to be in rams, and oh yeah they kinda kicked off the whole diesel market. Them 12 valves are somewhat reliable too. Ford had the 6.9s and 7.3s, chevy had that pos mini detroit for years that was anemic but okay buddy. Modern era ford went through a debacle with their diesels, and chevy front axles break if you look at them wrong

The Cummins diesel, is an amazing engine!
Cumberland Barns thank you!
At least someone was smart enough to get the "most expensive Ram ever" in a color other than work truck white
Nate T. Truth 😂😂
Nate T. A lot of people like white including me.
@@righand congrats?
Nate Trav he didn’t buy this truck he goes to dealerships and does like a walk around review
The ram boxes are the best thing ever installed on a truck. Had them on my trucks since they came out 10 years ago, they’re awesome.
Guess he never priced a 3500 Limited mega cab dually.
Timm Marshall I know...I know 😂😂
Timm Marshall or a 5500
Click bait
With sunroof.
$85,000
All of that without folding the back seats flat... thanks for the demo

METALITHrevetments 118k miles it ain’t broke in till 200,000
I’ve always wondered about the ram box, I’ve always wanted one but I’m not one to jam and carry a bunch of junk. Thanks for the input.
On my 2019 2500 limited i did not go with the boxes thought it made the truck look cheap

Neo Craft thank you!
Is it worth the price? I have literally no need for such a beast of a truck, but a truck is a truck.

The one downside to Ram 2500's is their lack of payload, especially in the Megacabs!

Who the fuck wants a fancy truck especially a diesel and who buys a ram for luxury?

Mike Latham I agree
@@BenHardyCars definetly going to keep an eye out to see if you can upgrade, if possible I believe I'll be doing that..
So many new featers they had to make the colomn shifter a short shifter

Nerpnuts exactly step so step yours up

Right know I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie, this is next !!!
nathan longoria 👍🏻👍🏻
Excelente Camioneta esa Ram
No Panoramic Roof ? The 1500 has it but not available in 2500 series FCA ?????
Constructive criticism- wash the truck before video.
Kevin Strain not my truck😂 but I would prefer a clean vehicle to review
Why?
It’s a truck
Abel Casanova you’re hilarious 😂

Mega cab and you don’t show the back seat
travise5284 about 4:24 is the back seat area.....
My dream truck
cviera2010 they are sweet!
Looks so hot
Why are the steer wheel Controls outdated ?
I drive a Ram but not at 10.6 miles per gallon!
Thoma210 alexander they get way more mpg then that. There test drives are killing the mph
@@tonyboneize was an attempt at humor, I drive a 2017 and get 19 to 24. The shot of the dash they showed said 10.whatever mph.

Heyoo. Missed yesterday but I'm back🔥🔥
I did not!
@@BenHardyCars I missed yesterday not you😂
Technically the ram 3500 magacab high out put dullie is the most expensive ram you can buy
they should make a rambox on a dually
dannyboy9254 not sure how that would work
@@BenHardyCars well i think it would work good. there is a lot of wast of space without taking space inside the bed
USB2? Or maybe it's called USB C? hmmm...
D S I can never speak, we have established this 😂😂
Won’t say any opinions. “I don’t like chrome”
Does it have upfitter switched?
Most expensive Chrysler vehicle is Jeep trackhawk
Yeah the ram boxes are useful but I can’t stand the look
They look great.
It gives the truck some nice lines
The 68rfe... that’s going to be good for... absolutely garbage. Didn’t anyone realize FCA is quietly getting rid of it?
Wow this is fancy
good luck I know!
Shift on the steering wheel with a button no thanks
Not a Dodge Ram. It’s a Fiat Ram

Don’t forget the average is $25,000 to $30,000 off sticker price. Don’t get ripped off. These trucks are not that expensive
Wouldn't the longhorn be more expensive loaded?

or maybe they were dropping the g56 is what it was.
Yes. They dropped the G56 but the 68rfe is still being used for the 850 lb ft torque engine option..
You can’t have a topper with the ram boxes
Yes you can have a topper

U show one spot that’s says dodge!

More expensive than a 3500?
Stevonoles1 no, the 3500 is barely more. I’m talking more on the limited trim package for the heavy duties.
Omg. Stop saying “actual” and all derivatives thereof
Yeah that's not the most expensive one get into some fleet trucks and get way more expensive
Jake Husband I know...I know
So the same truck in 3500 is cheaper huh?
Them mirrors are horrible
Like, do u really need all this crap??? Geez
It's just a ram... not a dodge ram
Why video a dirty vehicle.
Give it 3 yrs and the beds rust out . Won’t buy another one !!
10.7 MPG?
