In the Farm and Ranch areas (I know in Kansas), many farmers need these to haul cattle to various pastures, add a bale bed to feed animals off the farm and to haul the family.
I have seen 3 on Carfax for sale. I think it would get you past the scales. I want one with a 12ft. Toolbox flatbed to haul an Artic fox 990 camper and motorcycles. Camper weighs over 6000 lbs.
Will they offer all trims in the 4500/5500? I personally like the Laramie Longhorn over the limited. Oh.... and make the 4500 available with a pickup bed to complete with a f450 and I would be a serious buyer. Delmonico red, laramie longhorn, 4x4, with color matched bumpers would be my flavor.
WOW! I am a Ram fan cause of the Cummins. But wow! All of the truck's Ford, Ram, GMC, Chevy, Tundra they all have came such a long ways. They just awesome inside and out. Once again another excellent video thanks.
I want one with a Douglass body and a Northern Lite truck camper on the back and I will live happily forever cruising the U.S., Canada, and wherever else it will take me.
Yesterday, I thought that just maybe, maybe a GM truck was in your future. Today, I believe your next truck will be RAM 5500 with some crazy new aftermarket box. Love the quick and detailed updates. Keep up the great work!
madbear3512 bruh 🙄 My freightliner got a full size bed, damn near a full size refrigerator, cook top. And a mini portable porta potty. That’s why I’d much rather drive a semi compared to a dually truck OTR!. Now I’d take this ram truck and pull cattle trailer on my families ranch. And that is very likely an option.
@@Meaderelle hey thanks for the reply. I am a hotshotter in a 2018 3500. Was leased on for a while but just got my own authority a few months ago. I wanna expand to a semi one day. I drove a 2015 cascadia day cab for a few years hauling lumber and I loved that thing! It turned on a dime for a semi. You need that when hauling in austin tx.
Ram has had a sweet comeback since 2011, but they are far from taking first spot. Their latest model is stealing market from GM if anything. Couple years ford will have the all new half ton, it keeps going.
i would like to hear from jim morrision or someone that can tell me why they got rid of the g56 manual. i know that less then 1 percent of the 2500/3500 trucks have a manual. if there were other factors that contributed i would like to hear it. I have a 2016 g56 crew cab short bed 2500 and wouldnt have it any other way. thanks again.
TFL put out a video the other day with one of the head guys with ram trucks and he said the fact that very few are sold was the main reason.... maybe you can find the video and hear him say it for yourself but that was the primary reason he gave
They could have put a better stick shift in there to handle higher torque; Eaton-Fuller and Spicer still make great transmissions.They could have made it a stand alone option factory order only. Looks like I’ll be keeping my ‘16 Ram w/stick for some time.
Many people can't drive a stick anymore. My friend put a sticker on his truck that said "if you cant drive a sick shift then dont mess with this ride."
Something rather vital to me was left out. Are they going to have a mega cab configuration with the 4500/5500 chassis? Some of us use the cab as a sleeper. I personally took out the seats in the rear of my F-350 and constructed a comfortable sleeping/storage area. However, a larger cab configuration with a heavier chassis... I would switch brand loyalty if that was an option. Thank you.
I really enjoy the quality of your channel and the great information you have in most of your videos. And yes, I am very very excited about all the new trucks currently being announced. I was very much looking at the 2017 Ford HD and then Ram announced their 2019 HD and now THIS!!! A 5500 with premium trim. Whew! This is awesome! Keep up the great videos, I'll keep watching.
@@matthewschiebout7384 I absolutely have checked out the new 2020 too and it's a beautiful truck no doubt about that. And you can't beat that 10-speed transmission, Ram fumbled, as you perfectly put it, there for sure. However, we still don't know what the numbers are. And though I'm certainly not against owning a loaded truck absolutely packed full with all the technology that the new 2020 Ford has in it, I also want one that's capable. If the new 2020 Fords outperform the new Rams than I'll absolutely stick with Ford. In the end I'm in the market for a tool not a toy though.
All the bells and whistles are nice and the interior is pretty but what's important to me beside the towing and payload capacity is how comfortable it is to sit in the driver's seat for 9 hours. I don't want to do a long haul and physically feel beat up with my back back stiff and my ass hurting because the ergonomics of the seat wasn't designed correctly. Or the foam padding in the seat is too stiff. What wasn't mentioned in the sales pitch was what I just talked about, which should be just as important as payload capacity.
Hopefully they upped the ante on reliability, as they have been lower then Ford and GM in quality rankings. I do prefer the RAM, just concerned on reliability short and long term.
As a person that has owned ford trucks his whole life of driving, I’m looking heavy at this ram. I was about to sign on a 19, 450 king ranch but I need to find a dodge commercial truck dealer. I’m just so hesitate but it looks to be such a nice truck.
@@jasonwilliams3223 because it's looking like a good option and I dont have to do the insane maintenance that modern diesels require Also it's over built for light duty f350 And it's not gonna be full of useless tech
@@Friedrich-Wilhelm-1980 dually or srw? I think that engine is going to be awesome. Like you said the diesels are just to much now. Its was less than half the cost to repair my old 99 and 01 cummins than today. Plus the fuel is higher. Doesnt make sense.
Whats the insane maintenance that modern diesels require? Its not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. I have a 2017 6.7 powerstroke that has been trouble free, oil changes and fuel filters that's it. Nothing insane about it.
@@Mike-cp1ft The cost. Plus once the miles rack up and your replacing 5k dollars or more injectors and things. Oil changes cost more. Fuel is more. That sounds like a mr know it all statement. Its not. It just depends how you use it and how long. Does your use or income justify it
RAM have hit it out of the park YET AGAIN. 5500 gas Limited with a supercharger and quad exhaust mod - ultimate full time truck camper that you will want to drive even more than camp in.
I wish they still built these trucks with an option for a manual gearbox.. oh well. Glad i got my last ram with a g56 just in time. These new trucks do look nice though.
I've done business with a lot of hot shot truckers, and not a single one of them would spring for a truck like this. All of them seem to understand that you can get a used OTR truck for less money that will also last longer.
Interesting you say that, as I've seen the move go the other direction. Many class 8 drivers move to class 4 &5 trucks to reduce fuel cost while running lighter loads.
I love watching your opinions on everything you cover. Now to my question: now that you have put some mileage on your F450, what kind of fuel mileage do you average empty and also pulling your camper? and what difference is there between the F450 ,550, and of course the difference in fuel mileage between Dodge, Chevy, and ford in the one ton units. put a video together and give us the facts and your opinions. I and so many others value all that you do. And from a drummer myself think about some digitals then she can have headphones on and not "BEATEN" everyone to death . haha. when i was on my old skins everyone was tired of me practicing so I bought a digital set a "cheap" set and now my wife and everyone love me again.
Feats are neat, but does this truck line has the same quality and longevity as GMC, or at least Ford? Because I've heard that current gen Ram has a lot of problems.
Ram has come around to a reliability similar to Ford & GM. Every OEM has problems or recalls. Some more than others. I’ve noticed lately that Ford has started to slip up in reliability in my opinion. GM has their own set of problems.
My 2015 Ram 3500 hasn’t had any issues at all. The only things it’s had are several recalls. No of which have caused any problems with my truck. I still have 2 open recalls on mine. Drag link jam nut and shift interlock recall. I’m not worried about those on mine so I’ll deal with them on my own.
I’m a Cummins guy for sure. I may actually go Ford for one reason. The F450 has a wide front axle which makes the turning radius much much tighter. For anyone manuvering trailers, that’s huge. Now if RAM offers that option, I’ll go RAM for sure. I know the RAM 5500 gets the wide front axle.
Big Truck Big RV, thanks for the info. Good to know. I’d just have to factor the extra expense in to my decision. I hate regular truck beds for my kind of work. Gotta have me that flatbed.
Big Truck Big RV , oh, sorry. As in “comes without a bed so I would need to get one installed”. Perfect. That’s what I want. Ram it is. After I hit the lotto. LOL. Diesels are expensive these days.
Idk if that 12 in touch screen and leather will sell much. Most work trucks are beaten to hell and get dirty real quick and you can’t use the touchscreen with gloves, no fleet manager would order that, but it is stylish
One thing you can do that makes life better when on the road. Make a place for a clothes bar. You should try to hang clothes on the hooks behind the head rest those are worthless. I have to build my own clothes bar holders. Go to Walmart by $9 clothes bar build holders for that bar. Nice truck finally high level trim. This is why all the conversation companies got started to fit this market. Western Hauler has been around for 39 years. Y’all are quick to the party.
Did this man say, best in class 800 ft lb of torque ??? Other then that great video, wish Megacab would be an option along with longbox DRW. Rambox longbox Megacab 5500 with Aisin is my dream truck
Christopher Hallinan aisin or g56 either one honestly is fine I wish they’d keep the g56 around or bring the nv back. Everybody has admired a Manual in-line Cummins Diesel for as long as I can remember
When I heard the new 3500 had a 35k towing I started looking for a 5th wheel hitch with the capacity to match. Closest I could find was a 32k hitch. With the 4500/5500 having a 43k capacity where do I find a hitch to match? I am not interested in a gooseneck.
They ruin the look with the antennas mounted with the roof lights. Roof lights are cool and retro but two "bulges" in between the lights is ugly, sorry. They should place the antennas at the rear of the roof!!
Really love the truck! This will have to be something that you like at for you future truck wont it. I really think that Ford still has the edge on this by offering a "light duty" pickup with a bed and fewer back leaf springs. I think if Ram came out with a similar design it would be spectacular. Not everyone wants such a harsh riding medium duty truck. I know that you use your truck for more than just towing constantly I think it would be hard to give up that softer suspension in the Ford. Also do you know if it has a wide track front axle. Another major selling point for Ford I mean the F450 has a tighter turning radius than some F150s.
Chevy just released max tow of 35.5. And Ford just came out with a new 7.3 gas engine on heavy duty and their old engine 6.7 power stroke but hp and torque along with max tow is still on the hush hush for now.
These engines are designed with less power output, because they're designed to pull heavy, constantly. If they put the 1000 lb ft. In this truck, it would add strain to the transmission, heat up the oil, the coolant, and they would have more warranty issues, and you'd have a less reliable truck. I don't know about this 6.7, but the older ones were designed differently, and weren't reliable when tuned. You can't just throw an intake, exhaust, computer, and turbo on these. That'll break it.
How come viewers here are only interested in Ford recalls? Ram has had a bunch of dangerous recalls on their trucks recently. Including this interesting gem recall for roughly 222,000 model-year 2019 Ram 1500 pickups that are equipped with adjustable pedals. The company found that certain adjustments may cause the brake pedals to detach. Isn't that a strange one!!!!!

The most bad ass truck I've ever seen out of the factory.
Your quality and speed with news is surpassing that of larger groups that have been around for years on RUclips. GREAT JOB!!
Thank you
The info on the trucks this year just never stops. Great time to be into trucks. Thank you the info.
I am delighted with these models, previously RAM did not take much attention to luxury over 4500 and 5500... Nice Video!
I think I just spotted your next truck
In the Farm and Ranch areas (I know in Kansas), many farmers need these to haul cattle to various pastures, add a bale bed to feed animals off the farm and to haul the family.
10 years later, ram & ford vs peterbilt.
That’s funny, they’ll never approach what Pete has done.
I think the point, which is very correct, is that chevy just can't compete and this point and might not last long.
K/ Ocmp yeah right, electric trucks will take over by then go to bed
Love Rams ..I've been buying new Rams sense 1998 and been very happy with the results ..
Ok now we talking ram Upgrades to the 2500 3500 wear whatever but they're killing it for the 4500 and 5500 now!!!!
soon as ram offers one of these with a regular bed i'd buy 1
Yeah, that would be some truck alright.
u can get the bed after market its a company that do them i seen the video
Yea you have to get it aftermarket but I’ve actually seen a few of them on the road and they look great
@@andrewmendoza1578 i don't understand either why they don't offer it from the factory. ford does maybe because its not that popular
I have seen 3 on Carfax for sale. I think it would get you past the scales. I want one with a 12ft. Toolbox flatbed to haul an Artic fox 990 camper and motorcycles. Camper weighs over 6000 lbs.
That is one beautiful truck!!!
The trailer tires pressure feature is an excellent move
Good stuff
I must agree with other commenters; production values are off the hook on your channel! Best in class.
The majority of what you watched came directly from FCA
What an absolute stunning truck. Looks amazing and outstanding capability.
Will they offer all trims in the 4500/5500? I personally like the Laramie Longhorn over the limited.
Oh.... and make the 4500 available with a pickup bed to complete with a f450 and I would be a serious buyer. Delmonico red, laramie longhorn, 4x4, with color matched bumpers would be my flavor.
Yep same. But I'm not a buyer for this market so I get my longhorn anyways
Ditto on that remark.
I like your style. I love the Longhorn
That's so true. I really wonder how they missed that?
Great taste, I would be interested in one with a regular bed as well
WoW, Ram is really putting out some high quality trucks!
Fantastic rig! This will bring a whole bunch of folks into the commercial truck sector.
WOW! I am a Ram fan cause of the Cummins. But wow! All of the truck's Ford, Ram, GMC, Chevy, Tundra they all have came such a long ways. They just awesome inside and out. Once again another excellent video thanks.
I want one with a Douglass body and a Northern Lite truck camper on the back and I will live happily forever cruising the U.S., Canada, and wherever else it will take me.
I wish they came with a bed option too. Long bed on this with a large fuel tank would literally he perfect.
Wow I think Ram can finally compete with the F450 now impressive
Yesterday, I thought that just maybe, maybe a GM truck was in your future. Today, I believe your next truck will be RAM 5500 with some crazy new aftermarket box. Love the quick and detailed updates. Keep up the great work!
Just ordered my 2019 5500 they look so nice!
I love it. But when it comes to OTR hauling. I’ll stick to my 2019 freightliner cascadia 😂
Comparing a semi to a Dodge 4500/5500. You just don't do that. For some people a semi be over power asf
madbear3512 bruh 🙄 My freightliner got a full size bed, damn near a full size refrigerator, cook top. And a mini portable porta potty.

How much is that freightliner running for 2019?
MrCaryk $150k. You could get one cheaper. But I got the Carrier APU, with some other bells and whistles.

RAM is rapidly overtaking ford in the truck industry. i see more 2019 ram 1500 than I see f150s
might be, but Ford's F150 powertrain line up stomps Ram and the rest combined!
@@matthewschiebout7384 No not with the powertrain no where close, sorry. Maybe in popularity
Mathew Nissan Titan has better powertrain than Ford
Ram has had a sweet comeback since 2011, but they are far from taking first spot. Their latest model is stealing market from GM if anything. Couple years ford will have the all new half ton, it keeps going.
That is because the F-150 is one ugly truck. At least it isnt as hideous as the Silverado
I was going to get a used semi but now nice luxury comfort like a 5500 would do the job thanks for the video
Amazing review! Thank you, BTBRV!
Me: I want this truck.
My wallet: 😆😂🤣 Let me know how that work out for you
Man, this is one gorgeous truck. Just imagine taking yourself and your family pm a camping trip with this beauty.
Sorry competition. Haha. ❤❤❤
My wallet hurts already
SOUNDS ALL GOOD FOR NOW. IT WILL SPEND HALF ITS LIFE IN THE SHOP.

they weren't selling enough thats why gm and ford been stoped offering them

Put a box on the 5500 to further differentiate Ram from the other two.

Took them long enough. Geez, consumers want to spend the money on a fancy rig, but couldn’t because the OEM, didn’t know the segment.
Especially, GM, who had seriously underestimated that fact, until now?

Why would Ram derate the 4500-5500 6.7 down to 385/800 from the 3500 400/1000???
Best thing about these trucks is what FCA wont touch.
Cummins/AISIN
Ram really needs to make a 6500/7500 too
Gorgeous. Good job Ram.
WHOA!!!! That’s what’s up! Beautiful. 💯💯💯💯💯
So these trucks will be made available with a standard truck bed like the 3500?

I'd love one with a regular body, megacab and a manual gearbox with a range change.
Christopher Hallinan aisin or g56 either one honestly is fine I wish they’d keep the g56 around or bring the nv back. Everybody has admired a Manual in-line Cummins Diesel for as long as I can remember
It’s class leading for the chassis cab segment. They all retune for durability in the 4500 5500 class.
Really bigger truck and less power than the 3500 come on ram
@@brianrobson3183 it's not ram,. It's everyone. C&c trucks are detuned for longevity, most of them are company fleet trucks that have to run 24/7

Can you get the 4500 and 5500 and I in a mega crew cab chassis

I don’t see you going to Ram until they update the cab and it gets the 8 speed. Maybe I am wrong time will tell...

I agree I think it looks tacky having antenna in between cab lights on the roof of the truck. Looks too busy.
It would interfere with a some of the bodies that get put on these trucks
How so? You can design somewhere else on the body. No big deal really.
Now all ram has to do is offer a pickup bed option with this truck and mega cab spec and omgggg

I'll take a 4500 crewcab 4x4 with that CM ER hauler body, all decked out in pearl white. Oh, and send the bill to JD, please.
Really nice looking with cool tech. Ford gotta step up.
Does it have the wide track front axle with better steering or just bigger spacers like before?
Put a regular dually truck bed on the Ram 4500 and I'll kiss Ford goodbye.
1st time i heard that they put active grill shutters on an HD truck!! 1500 has had it for 5 yrs.
Did they add it to the 2019 2500 and 3500?!
Chevy just released max tow of 35.5. And Ford just came out with a new 7.3 gas engine on heavy duty and their old engine 6.7 power stroke but hp and torque along with max tow is still on the hush hush for now.
You spelled Ram wrong,,,,,,Chebby does not have any med duty pickups that tows 35k.
Nice looking truck. Love that blue paint. But does it have the wide track front end?
Judging from the flares on the front end, I'm gonna go with yes.
I 2nd a yes
These engines are designed with less power output, because they're designed to pull heavy, constantly. If they put the 1000 lb ft. In this truck, it would add strain to the transmission, heat up the oil, the coolant, and they would have more warranty issues, and you'd have a less reliable truck. I don't know about this 6.7, but the older ones were designed differently, and weren't reliable when tuned. You can't just throw an intake, exhaust, computer, and turbo on these. That'll break it.
How come viewers here are only interested in Ford recalls? Ram has had a bunch of dangerous recalls on their trucks recently. Including this interesting gem recall for roughly 222,000 model-year 2019 Ram 1500 pickups that are equipped with adjustable pedals. The company found that certain adjustments may cause the brake pedals to detach. Isn't that a strange one!!!!!
they all have there share of recalls. . gm will b next
No 1,000 ft. lbs. of torque?
get a 5500 limited I'm still surprised they didn't put the 1000lbft engine in it
It's the same engine and well capable of 1000 ft lbs but it is tuned for lower for longevity of fleet vehicle
Great video as always 👍🏻👍🏻
It would be nice to have the same power and TQ ratings the 3500 has.
Well I know what my next truck purchase is! Absolutely beautiful!
Will "the green new john mcshame deal" allow this truck?
Beautiful truck.
Does it have a similar turning radius as your F450?
Yes
Badass truck!!
Man that is a handsome truck
Beautiful! What is the turning radius compared with the F450?
Yes
What would be the mpg when not towing?
