I have two Ram HD 6.4 HDs. They are used for ranch work. They haul hay, tractors, and livestock. I’ve owned several F250s, and they were great trucks, but in my experience, nothing comes close to the ZF 8 transmission. It really digs in when you’re hauling 15,000 lbs of high up a wet, snow covered dirt road or across hilly, uneven pastures. If they are putting that transmission in their diesel trucks, there is absolutely no comparison to the strength and reliability of that combination. I don’t own any diesels because I don’t usually haul heavy loads for long distances, but I would buy that. It’s a truck you will own for 20 years.
The best update you can give these cummins is a legal DEF delete!
How do you do a legal Def delete?
@tylerbuck9347 chevron deference legal standard was shot down by the Supreme Court which may take away some of the epa's power to regulate certain issues. It's still shaking out
Yeah
I’m a Ram guy through and through, however I own a Chevy right now due to my experience with the 68rfe (I don’t need a 3500 H.O, so I wouldn’t mess with the Aisin anyways). I have sworn up and down I would not own another Ram until the 68rfe is out of their 2500s and they replace it with an 8 speed. Lo and behold it is finally happening. Once my duramax gets paid off I will be jumping back to a Cummins
I have given up on Jeep after 2 compasses and a Grand Cherokee 4xE - Have a GMC Canyon now - very happy with it. Jeep keeps bringing me back with the looks - but after a hail storm and having to replace what felt like 100 trim pieces I can say the simpler the better. I would have bough a Ram TRX if it was available though!
@@OntarioGuy430 One thing that’s growing on me about GM products is how cheap replacement parts are. However I’m impartial to the Stellantis products due to my first two trucks being rams and having virtually no issues with it until my transmission in my Cummins started going and went to Chevy. GM still makes a good product though, those newer Canyons look sharp
They kept it for so long because it made them more money they thought oh yeah let’s throw a gasser transmission in our heavy duty diesel trucks that’ll be just fine
The Aisin is a great transmission for towing. They can last to around 500k. You can now get 68FREs from shops that are basically great since they fixed all the issues.
@@LucasLeCompteMusic they are alright if they are kept stock if the truck isn’t stock they will blow up like 68s they can take more power yes but still aren’t the best, and even built 68s will blow up faster than a built 48re both transmissions suck as the 47re 48re and the 68rfes were all gas motor transmissions so they were not built to handle the torque or power that the Cummins motors put out
The 8HP75 is an outstanding transmission, makes a world of difference with the 6.4 in the HD trucks. The dial gear selector is a non issue.
Seems it might be for those not sure of their "masculinity", though? 😉
@@gordowg1wg145 I've had 2 Rams with the rotary gear selector, towing with both, and it's a non issue. The rotary knob selector has been out in Rams for almost 10 years now.🙄

😎 We're in agreement 👍
Ford: "Our high output Powerstroke puts out 1,200 ft LBs of Torque."
Stellantis: Ours now puts out 1,202 ft LBs of Torque.
Both Companies: "Price point for both trucks.... $130,000."
Potential Buyers: "I'll keep what I have. It has over 700,000 miles on it. I can squeeze out 2 million more."
I would rather see them back off these stupid high torque numbers and boost fuel economy instead. I know some guys want the bragging rights, but for me I'd be fine with 900...800... even 600 lb ft torque if they could give me 5 mpg better fuel economy on the highway.
@@karlschauff7989I get 17-20 in the city in my cummins because it’s deleted won’t ever buy a truck and not delete it I ran one tank of def after I bought it ran out threw the check engine light for the def being low and deleted it the next day
These trucks are not 130k yet we are not far away but you aren't there yet
The power increase is long overdue but the biggest benefit will be the ZF transmission. It's been far too long putting up with that awful 68RFE. It's almost a guarantee that you'll replace or rebuild that transmission at 150k miles if you tow a lot. Unfortunately, unless they replace the cab and a longer bed to the new DT style, they are going to half ass it like they've been doing since 2019 when the half ton was introduced. the current HD cab is just too small and heavy.
I have a 2011 Ram 3500 with the 68RFE transmission. I toe for a living, been doing it since two thousand twelve and i've got almost one point two million miles.I'm my truck with the original transmission
Excited, I have the 2020 HO Cummins in a 3500 4X4 and I love it. I’m thinking of trading but now I’ll wait for the 2025 model. I still have my 2nd gen 1998 with the 5.9 Cummins 12 valve that I bought brand new so I love Cummins and RAM.
I just wish Stellantis wasn’t owning Dodge cause I love Ram trucks
Stellantis owning Dodge has nothing to do with Ram’s. Dodge doesn’t make them dude, they are made in Chrysler plants.
Dodge and Ram have been completely seperate since Dec 2009.
@@AussieDazzathat's probably why they are so far ahead of ford in fit, finish, performance, and looks.
I wish they would move the transmission knob a little closer to the steering column, I had one and every once in awhile I would grab it to adjust the radio or a/c by accident
Ram guy. Excited about new changes, especially about the new Cummins engine.
It kills me when people bitch about shifters and sound. Sound doesn't improve efficiency or power. Shifters don't help the transmission, but they do take up more room, like on the Chevy, where it blocks your view on their screen. Those of us old enough aren't crying about no high beam button on the floor any more.
They need to use the 1500 cab on the HD.
I like your talking speed now. It was too fast to follow in the past.. Thank you
i could follow it but it was strangely fast 💨
You look like Tom Hanks stranded on the island.
I definitely noticed the sound change from the 5.9 Cummins to the 67 Cummins it's a pretty big difference
Love the new transmission change. Hate the Fugly grill and giant RAM on the tailgate!
Ben I love the hair and beard man you look like a Viking bro. Bad ass look. Been watching your videos for years! I truly feel that this is the best page on RUclips. You’ve helped me buy 3 cars now. I’m looking at the 25 Warlock because I can’t afford the BigHorn no more. Plus the warlock looks better. Will you be reviewing that soon?
Ben I am lost.
Were you talking the whole time about a gas or diesel engine?
You mentioned high output lots of times. I am assuming gas engine.
I wanted to watch a video on the new diesel cummins engine.
It says Cummins in the title. He says Cummins at least once in the video
Didnt he mention 6.4 at the beginning of the video? @rhysxj
Hint, tachometer...
It all sounds good. I just want to know when they are going to be available??????
Holy click bait…
Really want to know what they are doing with the Power Wagon
Buying a 2025 with new motor and transmission may be buggy until they get new motor and transmission designs perfected.
Im excited to see the power numbers behind the 8 speed. If they do it right, it will be absolutely an amazing combo...worried about the cummins with higher power output...not one bit. It's not a powerstroke...it will be just fine with any power level!!
Thank you for your instructional videos and looking forward to seeing when you can make the review 2025 ram RHO
Ben, any update on whether the new 2025 2500s (Cummins) will have the column shifter or the dial ?
I hope that they will offer the manual transmission as an option for their trucks.
The variant of the ZF HP-8 for the new DIESEL is somewhat different to the variant in the Hemi 2500
(or so I am told).
I believe that the Planetary section has more "planet-gears" (??)
This ZF-auto Might so be used in Europe behind the 7.7 litre Mercedes/MTU ??
Ive been daying for a couple years that i wish Ram would've pair the 8spd with the Cummins and theyve answered that call. I cant wait to test drive one. Any word on a release?
Power increase is awesome. I personally don’t like the dial shifters. Happy Independence Day Ben!
I agree
I need 10 seconds to tell everyone something Good!
I care about you as a person, and tell you that
The scriptures tell us that Jesus Christ died for people's sins!
Whoever will have their faith in Him, that through Him, they'll be pardoned from the Judgement of their Sins by God, will be pardoned, and will be saved! Now, being a believer, once God does a work in your heart, marking you as His Own, will bring about fruits of repentance! And you will be reborn as a new creature! Walking by the Spirit and not by the flesh (the will of your sinful self) Amen and good day 😊
I have a 2022 ram 6.4 hemi three quarter ton kinda disappointed on the mileage pulling
Prices like this are really crazy for diesels and I think many will be shocked at how much more durable and practical the Ford hybrid gas F150 in fact is as opposed to this. Still these will sell like crazy but again at these prices most if not all will be shopping GM products which have gone unchanged as an engine basically for 70 Years now. The chassis on this Dodge is very impressive tho. Nothing like a Tesla Cybertruck of course which again looking at current prices.......
Hear rumor the 6.4 will be out for the next HD truck ... the ho 3.0 will not be well received in a HD truck. I'm pretty sure sales show it wasn't well received in the 1500 lol
The Regen system in these trucks sucks. Ask me how I know. Two weeks ago. Check engine light. Got it fixed. I thought. 2 weeks later. Check engine light again. And on a truck that has less than 8000 miles on it. You should not have to constantly drive an extra 200 miles a month just to keep from triggering a light. Of course this was mentioned after the paperwork was signed. First diesel truck. Last diesel truck.
Half tons are now out of my sights with the 6 cylinder bs. Maybe that is what they wanted to push half ton buyers to 2500s just because the 2500s were the slowest selling truck out there.
Any hp / torque #’s ? At this point it’s all rumored but I hear it’s 435 up from 420 hp and 1125 tq up from 1075 not too bad.
I’m good with 2019, knob that’s gross. 😂 Might upgrade my hood though… 🤔
I couldnt afford one in 22,23 or 24. Now I suppose I still cant afford the 25. Bummer
What do you reckon is going to happen to the HD Megacab?
I don’t think the cab will chang yet
I wish they would change the cab that mega cab 🤢
Maybe upgrade to the true larger 5th gen cab???
I have a megacab limited dually, the only rhing there’s such a big blind spot when backing in 5th wheel style trailers, I love my truck but def takes time to get used to
They might, though the Megacab would lose a very much loved feature of backseat space, and underneath storage.
Are they seriously taking ANOTHER gas transmission and putting it in a diesel. If that transmission has the slightest bit of problems in that 6.4 wait till you put it behind the 6.7 cummins
That's the thing. They're not having that many issues. Plus its the same trans that's in the TRX and other HC cars. If it can handle that power I'm sure it'll handle the Cummins
I'm good with the GM's trucks you cant go wrong... with these new c8 engines with hybrid that they spent 1 billion dollars on. They do have the best engineering skills in the USA. And the world class. No kidding 😅 new trucks in 2025 as 26 1500 2026 for hds as a 2027 2500, 3500.😊
That is some really useless pylon placement - If you run one over do they take the keys back?
The dial shifter is the stupidest shit ever.. I feel like colum shift should be in all the heavy duties
68rfe was never ment for a diesel. The 68rfe is a gasoline transmission from a mini van.
If stellantis puts a dial shifter in the new ram, i will not be re leaseing another.
I'm not sure why? It adds room and doesn't take long to get use to it. At the end of the day all the new transmissions are electronic shift activated. Just Ram uses a knob
How can you be a car reviewer and not know that dodge and ram are 2 different companies
diesel is still continued and also with new 6.7 cummins higher output will increase the torque and also it means better towing, better payload and will beat the ford and gm
Going with the ZF instead of Aisin, Big fail there.
Nope. Not at all.
Has it been a big fail for Peterbilt and Kenworth? They have been selling the ZF Powerline as their TX8 for a while.
@@1hasbeen531 Obviously has no idea what ZF is.
@@DarkHorse08must not realize what the ZF is and is capable of. That trans is in TRX and a lot of other High HP vehicles. Not including the Mercedes Unimog
6 4 engine they should bring that to 1500 hundred too no only sst 6
The new 3L SST has more HP, more torque and a better torque curve than the 6.4... on 87 octane. Hopefully the 6.4 replacement will be a 7L+ normally aspirated V8 with no MDS or auto stop start, or 5L SST, or a hybrid system with over 500lb-ft of torque. Small asks...
Also the 6.4 has MDS 👎
Yeah that would be a really good idea not everone wants a turbo motor that has more electronic than a spaceship
Don't really want a Chinese truck.
They’re all Chinese trucks bud
What's with the funny voice when mentioning the gear dial - over-compensating for something?
Uh, no - if the engines are built for it, the extra output should have no difference on the stresses on the engine - and when it's not being loaded to the maximum, it gives more head-room, and so expectation of engine life, compared to a 'lower output' engine running closer to it's specified limits.
I'm glad I bought a 24 HO Aisin, more gears=more parts to fail. Seen plenty of 10 speed failures & can only imagine what out of warranty repairs will cost
Are they getting rid of the asin transmission
Replacing it with a new ZF 8 speed Transmission
Hopefully
How much they paying you to advertise these overpriced trucks???
On RUclips, if you watch the video, you're paying him to advertise overpriced trucks.
🎉👍👍💖👍👍🎉
Buy a ford an sleep at night😅😅
Ram your know what your doing like what you are doing Ram
This was definitely an attempt at making a cohesive sentence.
It’s a ram so you’re guaranteed to have endless problems
My 20 years of ownership says otherwise.
@@1hasbeen531 every other industry metric besides your anecdotal experience says otherwise.
I hav had six since 1991 hav had no trouble with any of them so maybe it’s you
I heard all the bad reliability stories about Ram but purchased a 1500 Laramie, anyways, in 2015. 97000 miles and 10 years later I haven’t had a single issue. Routine maintenance is all I have done to it.
Mine is 21 yrs old and pulled a boat. Had to have transmission gasket changed once. That's it.
