Guys, let's talk eTorque. 1. Download an accelerometer app on your cell phone (e.g., Sensor Sense) 2. Find a smooth stretch of road. 3. Get two RAMs with identical power trains side-by-side, one with eTorque and one without, and drive them down that road while recording the acceleration on your phone. Make sure you place the phone at the same spot in each truck so it's an apples-to-apples comparison. 4. Objectively compare the accelerations from each gear shift between the eTorque and non-eTorque transmissions.
Me and the wife both looked at the Ram Rebel and the Gladiator. We both went for the Rebel. I mean comfort, the 12 inch screen, and off-road capabilities are good enough for the outdoor, camping, hiking light wheeling, stuff we do.
I just got back from a road trip from California to Telluride, Co. i sacrificed on road driveability for off road capability by taking the Wrangler JKUR over my Rebel. Taking the Wrangler actually worked out really well and now might consider selling both for a Gladiator.
"You're carrying a dog..." Haha, awesome video guys, truely awesome... Edit: just finished the whole thing and what came to my mind... I've been watching your guys' videos since the reveal of the Gladiator two years ago and ever since then I've been eagerly awaited the release of the vehicle in Germany. It's awesome though to be able to watch your videos on a daily basis and the fact that Tommy has gone the whole nine yards on his way to adulthood in the meantime just made the ridiculously long waiting time apparent to me. Keep up the great work, guys!
Tough call on picking one of those two. The Ram has so much more room and towing capability but the Jeep is so much better offroad. Ok neither. Keep building my 1973 Chevy K20. Lol
Haha good on Tommy for calling the the Etorque , as being nothing but a start stop system. That I'll ad is going to he insanely expensive to fix. Better hope that belt never Flys off too.
Great comparison you guys"!!and they have decent news I found another Chevrolet Astro van all-wheel drive then I am going to convert and turn back into my beast mobile, I'm going to switch everything over from my older van if I can get to it before it gets towed so pray for us on keeping up with the wofford's on Facebook
And ... Don’t forget... You get to get out of Jeep every couple miles to clean the windshield when it snows... Thanks to its terrible defrost system...😳😳😳... Thanks to Tommy and his Pop for pointing that out...👍... I’m with Andre...You seem to get a whole lot more with the Rebel ...🤙🤙🤙
I think that the Rebel offers a lot more for the money, and is the more complete, utilitarian package. When it comes down to everyday comfort & drivability, payload & towing capacity, and power, unless you're planning on spending most of your time trying to crawl up to the top of El Capitan, I can't see purchasing a Gladiator, especially if it was going to be your sole mode of transportation.
I’m seriously skeptical about the etorque system. Is it reliable? I hate the idea of the 48v system combined with the 12v battery. It just seems so unnecessary. Just another system to go wrong and expensive to replace down the road. Sucks all 2021 AT JL’s have it with the 3.6.
15,000 miles on the clock of my 2019 ram 1500 Limited. I got it as fully loaded as I could possibly find for the time $72000 MSRP. I can Unequivocally say.... the Etorque system does not benefit the truck in any conceivable way. It doesn't get better gas mileage I average 15 mpg, ( I did replace the stock tires www.customwheeloffset.com/wheel-offset-gallery/911106/2019-ram-1500-xd-badlands-stock ) It isn't any faster. Do not buy etorque, if you're going to get a ram 1500 hemi.
I had the same problem with my 2020 Ram Rebel couldn't do better that 15mpg highway! ...traded it for a Trail Boss LT and its awesome, also 23.4 mpg best with it.
@@rossgreenzweig 👌 nice, I find the Ram to be a more complete package for what I do. I like the look of the trail boss, but My truck has to be a little more on the professional side for realestate. I definitely thought long and hard about getting one that was blacked out and throwing 35"s and a lift kit on it. But that would be more play than work. Which is definitely not the case for me. I do however have plans on getting a 2021 escalate which will free the truck up for more fun stuff.
@@MeliorIlle 😆, Sure that's me the idiot who can afford to waste $72,000... According to you, The rogue genius whom spends his time doling out unsolicited financial advice in the comment section of RUclips. Well thanks for clearing up who's the idiot and who's the genius. Really don't know what I would have done without you!
@@MeliorIlle You're 100% correct; If, I had wasted $72k, I would be an idiot... I would also be a gigantic mental pygmy! If I wasted my time trying to manage someone else's finances through the comment section on RUclips. 😉
I used to have a Ram until I bought my gladiator. When you buy a jeep, you are buying an adventure. I can’t wait for the weekends to come around just so I can go up the mountains and explore.
My daughter has a ram with pentastar. My brother has a hemi. 19 and 19. 1\4 mile pentastar rules in Oklahoma. Watched it 3 times. I now have a 2021 JL sport s unlimited Aisin 6 speed manual.
The reason I still have my 06 ram 1500 is because it has the 6 speed manual! I’m turning it into a rebel or half ton PW (it’s a long and expensive process but I’m making it happen).
Rebel, hands down. More capable, more practical, more power and more efficient. The Ram I rented this summer averaged over 22 mpg over 3500 miles. Granted, it was a Big Horn and not a Rebel, but that 5.7 Hemi a beast.
Good Test I wonder what a full test would be like with both of them but both wit 3.0 Ecodiesel in a towing test off road MPG test some motor one midsize one full size
Ford ran a ranger ad before the video. Not your fault. Touting it it a 10 speed juice box. Maybe they need to get of their band wagon and admit Jeep has a manual still available
I own a 19 Rebel and I love it! 5.7 Hemi of course. The inside of the truck I love. That big screen is a must!! I Have the red interior as well. Just an amazing truck!! Love it on the snow,mud,sand,rain. Love the Rebel. Just keep in mind MPG haha sucks lol.
@@downsf I believe the new year like a 20/21 Rebel have an option now to drive awd. So mine have 2wd, 4 high and 4 low. But anyways.. yes love my 19 Rebel just came back back from the snow no probs. Still get lot head turns ppl love the truck. Have about 15k miles.
I did this comparo last year. Owned the Ram for a year . It towed great, very comfortable. Just too big for the city and my garage. I became tired of dealing with it. Bought a Gobi max tow. Very happy with it until i tow. So it checks off more positives for me.
Had a 12 sport s manual. Both pentasars run. Some of us finance these machines.and they work real world much better than your tests show. I have a travel trailer. I don't tow it with my wife's jeep I tow it with my 05 gmc k3500 regular cab 6.0 nv4500.
The gladiator as much more style and look but for everything else, I would choose the Ram. Btw, you should do the dog test in each of your trials Lol! 😁
Have you guys ever thought about doing a bare bones truck review ? like who make the best every mans truck. Take the stock F150 vs Silverado and so forth and see who makes a cheap good truck
this is also single guy and guy with family i had a midsize when i didnt have a family now i have a full-size with a family the space makes it worth it
Jeep Gladiator MOAB is the best. Dang near as capable as the Rubicon in rock crawling, and way more comfortable overlanding and desert running at faster speeds.
I would choose....to keep my current truck. $55k to replace my current truck is just not an option. It has over 436k miles and it's paid off. It tows, hauls and can do any off roading that I care to do. Would it be nice to have brand new again...yes. I'll just keep mine until it dies completely.
I'm probably in the minority here - but I kinda wish they would have retained the crosshair grille on the Ram trucks. I'm not a big fan of the mustache grille, makes the truck look like a catfish to me.

The dog is a great feature to the show please keep him in :D
Blaze is a Star, I hope he has joined the Screen Actors Guild:)
"The cool thing about the E-torque is that it does absolutely nothing at all." 😃😃 Thanks for being honest, Tommy!!
Why is it there if it does nothing...only FCA I guess.
@@mikefoehr235 i promise you, etorque will total all these trucks in 10-15 years lol.
They did an interview with one of the engineers and he explained the benefits. The biggest thing to me was smoothing out engine stop/start.
@@jghall00 start stop sucks, you just turn it off.
@@richfarfugnuven6308 I like tech, especially when it works.
Guys, let's talk eTorque.

4. Objectively compare the accelerations from each gear shift between the eTorque and non-eTorque transmissions.
What would it tell you?
E torque has very slightly better gas economy on acceleration, cuz the engine needs to work less to get the same amount of acceleration
Where’s the Power Wagon? It’s the same price too!

Ram does come with a bed extender if you get rambox, there is a divider the unfolds to a u shape that incorporates the tailgate for bed size.

You should strap on a Magnuson supercharger on the gladiator. And tell us how much better it is. Review.

Absolutely never a dull moment with Tommy❤️🙂. College in the 1980s reference and reaction to the hand brake in the Gobeglad 😂.
My 2 favorite trucks! I would take both & be thrilled. I have owned several Jeep’s & Rams. I just purchased a 2022 Gladiator. Great video.
55k keeps me from buying...well 20k keeps me from buying...tough being poor! haha
I was wondering why a V6 truck is 55k? I couldn’t justify paying that much for a Chrysler V6
Just wait until they hit the used market...
The reason I still have my 06 ram 1500 is because it has the 6 speed manual! I’m turning it into a rebel or half ton PW (it’s a long and expensive process but I’m making it happen).
Sheesh! The only thing ya'll haven't shown/discussed about these two vehicles the past many months is how to cook an egg on the engine block.
For 55000 I would choose the rebel, but I already did in 2017 because of this channel
I have e-torque on my 2020 Rebel. It doesn’t bother me one bit. Saves fuel at stop lights and keeps the engine hours low.
Rebel, hands down. More capable, more practical, more power and more efficient. The Ram I rented this summer averaged over 22 mpg over 3500 miles. Granted, it was a Big Horn and not a Rebel, but that 5.7 Hemi a beast.
Ram has a mini van shifter, i didn't buy it bc of it. Give me a lever on the column or on the center console.
The blaze cameo was awesome! If I was gonna buy a gladiator I would be in the 1 percent opting to row my own.
Gladiator for me, I'd rip out the back seats and throw it in the garage for extra gear.
Good Test I wonder what a full test would be like with both of them but both wit 3.0 Ecodiesel in a towing test off road MPG test some motor one midsize one full size

Ask Roman how the front driveshaft works in the Ram Rebel...
Came for the trucks. Stayed for the dog.
Both great, prefer the rebel if I could only have one vehicle

What happened with the "No Pavement Needed Series" TFL?
I have an honest to God question that isn’t sarcastic - especially as a former hemi owner: do the lifters still go out about 50k miles?
I'm probably in the minority here - but I kinda wish they would have retained the crosshair grille on the Ram trucks. I'm not a big fan of the mustache grille, makes the truck look like a catfish to me.
Once again great video, glad to see the puppy 👍
100% agree the jeep seats suck, leather or cloth. the 14 hours round trip to moab had me squirming pretty bad.
55k? A used Laramie 2500 cummins for me all day. Picked up my 16 Laramie with very low miles for 40k!
How about a drag race etorque vs no etorque?
No tfl dog? Bummer. 😳 Very interesting comparaison, the gladiator is unstoppable for real off-road, rebel more overlanging
A leaf powered jeep would be very interesting 😂
1:55 glad I'm atleast in the one percent of something
"...the jeep is scary..." lmao!
Blaze got big
Jeep should just make a Full size gladiator.
How does that Gladiator handle at 90 MPH with the roof top tent? :)
Love the dog test!
can we get more dog tests with blaze please? thats how i want to travel with my border collie an that perspective was very nice
I chose the dog because he's adorable
more reliable than your beloved defender.
Why doesn’t tommy do the Ike gauntlet with mr truck
Wrangler if you’re single, Ram if you have a family
Pickup trucks are so stupid. I’d rather have a longer wrangler, with useful interior cargo space.
What breed of dog do you have? Love my Rebel...!
How do you not drag race em ha ha great work men. Two nice trucks there.
55k we’re lol I picked my rebel up for 71🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️bruh inflation killing me!

Etorque drives bed plug??
Find a Powerwagon on closeout. Trust me...
Finally, the Real Reason All the TFL Vehicles are Broken. PUPPY POWER's, Puppy Mystery's, Puppy Distractions, and Puppy etc, etc,..etc.............
Ram Rebel is a much more comfortable and practical vehicle than the Gladiator.
Ram for me.
Looks like a catfish, not for me, also everytime I tried to put the truck into drive the volume of the radio went up hmmm!! What where they thinking
What breed of dog is blaze
I feel like the gladiator needs a new air filter?😄
That's like comparing apples to oranges.....
