Well made video. Love the honesty. Pointing out the issues and quirks in owning this truck.

I've owned (bought new) 2 high end F150s (2007 King Ranch and 2013 Platinum) and sick of the same old problems like the IWE issues so I went with a 2020 Ram this time. One of the biggest differences I noticed right away is how much better/smoother the Ram is especially on a bad road. The Ram feels like a Cadillac while the Ford feels like rough truck. I looked at the new Fords but the Ram interior is so much better. Very happy so far!

I actually like that my Ford vents hit my hands and adjust the airflow for complete hand warming. My hands always run cold and the heater blowing directly to my hands complements the heated steering wheel.

And here I am driving my 2007 ram with 255k miles on it and I'm still Real Happy with it.😁

19 ram limited 4x4, 16k + mi. no such problems at all. South Florida heat and ac terrific. love this truck,

Good honest video. You gotta drive what you love man. Whatever brand it is stay happy and enjoy it!

I have a 2019 Laramie and live in South Florida and May AC is extremely cold! I always have to lower it and FYI soflo is hot and humid.

I bought a 2019 ram limited in June of last year with the 12 inch screen, the 19 speakers, the panoramic roof, etorque which I actually like, 4x4, 3.92 axle ratio, etc, total of about 70K but worth every cent. In my opinion there is no truck in this class that can rival the interior of the RAM. The thing is I really wanted the rebel but unfortunately they only offered that red interior and I didn’t like that I like the dark black leather interior which I got in the limited but then I see that in the 2020 ram rebel they took away that red interior so now you can get the dark interior which I’m sure people like me were complaining about and they listened so kudos to Ram. Great video I even liked the trip to Starbucks lol. Good job.

I have had my 2019 Limited for 2 years and have 75k miles. I've never had any of these issues. Still haven't done brakes and have had them checked many times. I tow a 32ft camper regularly and brakes are solid. Best truck I've ever owned.

I must be luck I have a 2019 big horn I love it I have 27 k miles very cold AC no noise but I do wanna get one with a sunroof

Love my 1500, sure there are things I would change. The A/C vents do suck as far as there position but having that 12” screen makes up for it all. I couldn’t go back to a smaller screen. I’ve done so much, new wheels, level in the rear, exhaust & chrome badge delete to body match. Plus the Pearl White & Peanut Butter guts, Love it!!

On the 2019 ram you have to go into the climate setting and select the max ac and ac buttons. Then the ac will be way colder than the just running the ac without the max as selected.

I have the 2019 Laramie also. On my truck, the A/C runs colder on the MAX dial on the right than running it on A/C on the left dial.

I had a 2019 Ram and had the same initial impressions. It was a great truck, but the little things just started to add up. In the shop at least once a month for the seven months I owned it. All small things similar to what you talked about... screen, breaks, backup camera. I've also owned the F-150 and have to agree, the ecoboost is a pleasure to drive. I love that engine, but I hate the infotainment and driver information center in the F-150's. My wife and I also get uncomfortable in the F-150's on longer trips. I'm a GM fan at the moment as they just work and are comfortable for longer trips. On the higher trims, you can also get the tailgate to close on its own as well. I wish their infotainment system matched that of the Ram, but it's still nice.

Thanks for the review. I have basicly the same truck but with no clunk or brake noise. My AC has been addaquit for SC. I did not notice most of he issues you mentioned but people find different things annoying. I previously owned a Ridgeline which I liked but would not tow my 5200 lbs camper. I would buy the 1500 again.

I have a 2017 Laramie 36k mile and I Love it!!! I have had 0 problems.

Love my 18 F-150 Sport Crew 5.0 V8. No issues. Ram’s have a really nice cab but always had more issues long term. I’m getting more mpg than sticker. Solid workhorse.

I have owned Rams since the 1980"s the 8.4 Uconnect units have always been a headache, I have had the same problem with the screen freezing. I tried the fix of using the steering wheel buttons with no help. Called Uconnect and was told this was a known bug and that it was going to be addressed in the next update. Well still waiting. Uconnect has always to me, I am not speaking for anyone else but me has been a detriment to Ram, all the other manufacturers sound systems have less bugs. I still love the truck in spite of the Uconnect headaches.

I have a 2019 at 21k miles.. I have these LEDs on my Big Horn and I actually prefer the look of them over the limited lights. I live down in Florida and never have any issues with my AC. 100% on the brakes though backing out of my driveway in the morning sounds like i left the e-brake on!

I got a 2019 Bighorn and the only real problem I've noticed is the glitchy camera on the tailgate. It does not do it all the time but if the truck is in reverse, I would see squiggly lines on the bottom of the screen. I had a 2013 just last year and it did the same, so I just believe it just a typical problem. Love the truck and truly enjoying it.

My last two vehicles were the 2013 F150 Ecoboost, and then the 2016 F250 KR diesel and put 98,810 miles onto it; both vehicles towed a 7600# Airstream travel trailer at the weekends. Two days ago I bought a 2020 Ram 1500 ecodiesel. The reason I moved off the ecoboost to the diesel, is while the ecoboost can thunder up the mountain when towing the trailer, going back down, it simply could not keep the rig under control simply using tow/haul mode, or even downshifting to 2nd gear. The F250 diesel was superior to this - the diesel engine compression kept the full package puttering along at a 7% grade for 5 miles in fourth gear... Unfortunately though, in the past two years, I replaced the rear axle seals twice, and the engine cover only recently. The cost of maintenance was simply too high looking forward once I left my 100,000 warranty behind.

Thank you homeboy. If, all goes well tomorrow, i will have me a 4x2 2019 Laramie, in diamond black. I like your wheels, it complements the truck nicely. I may get black wheels also. I like how you talk about the spacers, and the lift etc. Great video, and feedback. and like you said, at the end of the day, it is about personal preference. Videos like this help sway a buyer for sure. Kudos!

Thank you for this video. Thank you for being honest. What did you do with A/C issue eventually?

Love the truck, i am hoping to get one as soon as this month. i gotta ask what type and size of tires you have on there? they dont look stock.

I wanted to buy an other Ford to replace my `97 Expedition (build before the spark-plug design change) after owning an `86 and `90 full size Broncos and a `92 Expedition. Did the test-drive on the Rebel, then the Ford F-150 4 door crew 4X$ FX$. The Rebel with 4 corner air (closed loop nitrogen) smoked! the Ford in every aspect when it came to driver/passenger comfort and driving experience! There is a lot of Italian in my Rebel, for better or worse, remains to be seen.

I've had my RAM 1500 Laramie for a week now. It was an impulse buy with no prior research. The 12 inch screen and center storage console sold me. I love it and can't wait to put a modest lift on it when my tires wear out.

My 08 dodge avenger screen has always did that, go out then freeze. Bought brand new 🤔🤔

I traded in my red 19 tradesman and it had a/c not blowing super cold. I traded it for a new 19 patriot blue big horn / long horn. No issues with anything on this truck. It doesn't have the harmon kardon system but it's still a great truck. No sound issues either seems to keep road noise out properly compared to the last truck. They may have added more sound dampening later on in production.

Woah you live in amarillo! I could tell immediately when I saw starbucks! Awesome to see a local on KZfaq!!

I rented one a 2 wheel drive and was impressed with the 22mpg highway,

The vented seats work great in my Sierra...no complaints here.

Thanks for the video very informative. I noticed you're getting beat up on the comments little bit but keep the good content coming. Have a good one

I had the same clunk problem in the front end of my 2019 ram Laramie. Check the sway bar end link bolt, the dealer found the nut to be loose on mine. They tightened it and no noise now

I have a 2019 Ram & live in central FL.. The air is fantastic!!! My brakes have NEVER SQUEAKED! 16K miles

I got a 2021 ram 1500 Big Horn with the 3.6 v6 Pentastar hybrid engine. My very first truck, as well as my first Dodge. I love the thing. Putting my accessories on it. I am looking at putting a cb radio in my truck.

Yeah ours has had squeaky brakes. And we have had the screen go out. And the clip that holds the leather down on the front passenger seat comes out.

My boss had a noise in the front end of his ram, after replacing almost all of the front end he found out it was the skid plate that was loose. Just something to check before you replace anything.

I mean if you want simplicity and reliabilty, a tundras calling out

I was thinking maybe you were spraying it instead of saying it until you showed those dark clouds. The vents are that way on all the Rams. Still a nice truck.

Hey the wind noise I believe is from the wind shield wipers, my dad changed his and the problem went away

I don’t like the console shifter on the Ford, it’s just in the way

I have a 2019 Big Horn with none of those problems (build date 2019 June). Gas mileage for towing sucks though (9-10 mpg pulling a 4500 lb RV full time). But other wise the truck is great

i too am addicted to new car smell..after driving Chevrolet for 46 years i purchased a Ram . i must admit it was very difficult but i was fortunate that my dealer sold both. what sold me the most was the looks and the interior. no comparison between the ram limited and chevy high country.. if i needed to buy a new one today i would buy the ram. i’m glad you mentioned wind noise at high i also have experience a loud wind noise. thanks for your frank opinion

Do you think the weak (and therefore forever on full blast?) AC and upgraded wheels made an impact on mileage?

They did beef up the 8 speed transmission

The clunking noise is the sway bar link. Mine did it at 1500 miles and I got under the truck and took care of the problem myself.

The Wind noise you are reffering to is the driver side window... when completely rolled up it binds and you hear air coming in, you roll it down a hair no more noise!!

I was a mechanic at a Dodge dealer for a couple years and also owned a 2003 Ram 2500 hemi.those to experiences have turned me off to all Chrysler made products. Love my 2018 F150. My tuned 3.5 is insanely fast and a total sleeper. Looks like a normal P/U and takes off like a muscle car, tires blazing. 21K on mine and no warranty work yet. Also like the idea of aluminum body because Im living in the rust belt. Time will tell. I am averaging 17mpg mixed driving.

I have both a '19 Ford and '19 Ram, the Ram wins hands down on tech, ride, noise and the list goes on. No comparison in my opinion.

Wait for the all new 2021 Ford F150

Where is your seat belt? I had an '80 Chevy with the conversion diesel. Fun to drive but engine and transmission were a disaster. Three trans and engine pushing a quart of oil every 25 miles and not starting got. 85k miles shot.

I have a 14 Ram that i bought new, and the display has went out a handful of times. I have to turn off the truck and turn it back on to get anything back on it. Works fine for months afterwards.

Good video. I have a new 2019 Ram 1500 Limited. Love it. I had a Ford F150 Platinum with the 5.0 in it prior to buying this Ram. I put 192K miles on that truck. It was good to me. Even had a 1969 Ford F100 short bed. But I will say this. As far as comparing apples to apples, this Ram is outstanding. My choice was between the GMC Sierra Denali, F150 Platinum and this Ram 1500 Limited. This Ram won me over hands down. The GMC was too plain Jane on the inside even though on the outside it's an awesome looking truck. It's probably the better looking truck of the three. The Ford was just more of the same. Not too much changed from the 2011 Platinum that I had. Reliable, but the wow factor was more like a Debbie Downer. The Ram, however, is just awesome. That exhaust sound is harmonic. Sound system is insane. 19 speakers? Just insanity at its finest. Interior is superb. 12 inch entertainment display is the best out there. This truck handles better than the other two trucks I mentioned. I'm surprised I switched from Ford, but Ram just stole the show.

Hmmm. I have a new Ram, built in March of 2019. I have exactly none of the problems you describe. None. Well, maybe Ive played with the vent a bit to get it aimed better... but your annoyances have not appeared. I too moved to Ram from two F150’s. The Ram ride, space, and tech blows away the Ford. I always liked my Fords when I bought them, but after 120k miles, they both fell apart - big time. Maybe the new model Ram will too... but at least I will enjoy the Ram drive experience for its 120k.

great video, i just bought a 19 Big Horn and felt the same thing regarding the AC coolness or lack there of.

I love it my boy David keep up the work and bit boring good video 💯💯💯👍

Buddy just bought new ecoboost had to replace both turbos and ecu says ford is using plastic clamps for the turbo Wich just screams low quality to me .. might be fast but wayyy to little quality for me

I had 2 2019 1500 limited the first one the dealer dissolved the deal because someone stole it off the lot and returned it some employee. The second they damaged and they didn't want to have it repaired sued them in small claims court and decided to buy it back. Got a 2500 PW loving it swap out man

I got almost 20,000 miles on my 19 Ram big horn too had it since April 2018 I feel you

I love the info and your audio volume on this video. Not sure about the repetitive background music, not rally needed??? Thanks again. Joseph :)

The only problem with the 3.5 ecoboosts is they dont last as long as a v8 will. Plus it might have a high tow rating but if you really stress it the ecoboost will blow because again its a v6 and they cant handle as much as a v8

Since we are talking Half Tons then yes, I can recommend a EcoBoost f150 anyday of the week but HD trucks ram takes the cake throughout the average of the comparisons

I have that same ac vent issue in my 2017 Silverado. As well as my back seats have no ac vents at all.

You have to do something called bedding the brakes. My brand new challenger brakes made noises for 2 years before I did this. now no noise at all.

Clunk noise my be your front body mount. I had mine replaced.

"This is just a laramie" hahaha

I had a radio problem on my 2017. I called Uconnect and after a few minutes she found a fix. She gave me the code and that saved the dealership a lot time from looking in the computer for the fix. Just got my 2019 Laramie Sport today. No problems yet. Good video, thanks.

I just bought a 2021 1500, so far I love it. Very comfortable truck.

the ford is good until you have to work on them. Im a ford mechanic i own a Toyota

I'm still trying to figure out why you even own a truck....do you even need one.

I appreciate the insight. I’m really torn between a new ram and a Silverado. But they’re having issues w the Silverado right now and I just don’t want unreliable.

I have a 2020 ram 1500 with the same clunking noise and I found that my swaybar and link was loose I don’t know how it got loose but it was loose and as soon as I tightened it the clunking stopped

Ram will fix the squeaky brakes if you take it to a dealer. Kind of an unpublic recall, all you need to do is tell them.

20000 miles ain’t nuthin how bout 100000. @20 it’s still new

I have a 2016 ecoboost. and planned on selling, and buying a 2019 Powerwagon. But I immediately exited the Ram when i found out the is no 360 camera on the PW. It had Tow mirrors. Is there a PW with tow mirrors and 360 camera?

I picked up a 19 bighorn this spring. Had a Silverado before that. I had a difficult time with buyers remorse at first. I gotta say the more I drive my ram the more I really like it. The engine has great power and it shifts smooth. Mine also has a “first world” problem of its own but overall I feel like it’s a good truck. Time will tell.

The shifter dial is the biggest turn off

Overall I think this was a fair review, however you did not address the 4 corner coil spring or available air spring suspension, which is light years better than the WWII technology leaf spring rear on the Ford. Because of this the RAM is a much better riding truck. Been in both and there is no comparison in this department. But no hating here, I think you were very straight forward with the nit picks. Again, though, a lot of this has to do with the all new design of this truck as opposed to the Ford, which is outdated and outclassed on the interior. Another point in the RAM's favor is that it is a Top Safety Pick in the 2019 IIHS crash tests, whereas the Ford is not, although it did rate well.

Still, a very extended review. Got what I needed. Thumbs up.

Just got my F150 XLT(302A package) 3.0 Diesel. Average gas milage 28, 700ish per tank. Love it. The F150 TT v6 is awesome and you're right it's fun to drive. I almost bought the Ram 1500 instead of the F150, they look real nice.

20,000 later and no paint match bumper 😂🤦🏿‍♂️

Recycle the Air in your Ram.

Does the V6 version have all of the same issues and the v8 version?

The noise at the front is a security recall and the noisy rear brake is a service bulletin.. check it out

i traded my 2019 chevy ona 2019 dodge i dont know what all your complaining about you got a lemon i love mine compared to the chevy

Brakes are awful from day one mine have been crap. I put custom ones on and is better.

Are the Classic versions of the 2019 line up having the same problems?

my 2012 charger the ac does not get as cold as it should either. to get it cooler u have to go aftermarket coolant

Dude you got a Viper, Trackhawk, ram & Rubicon? Damn congrats my dude

My Testosterone production just stopped watching this.

Mine made a noise also scared me at first and thought it was something from motor and my brakes got super loud after 3 months of owning truck

I got my 2019 in October 2018. I had the door gaskets replaced because they were making loud wind noise at highway speed with strong crosswinds. When you pulled on the door it would stop. New gaskets fixed it. Also had brakes replaced at 12k cause they were squealing for the last 5k. Everything was under warranty. Dealer said some lots of brakes had "too much metal" which made them squeal. Only issue I have now is a little rattle I cant locate in the wheel/dash or driver door area

I had 2 rams and I would never buy another ram. The best ram I had was the 06 4.7L . FCA doesn't take responsibility for the crappy cam and other crappy engine parts that fail after 100,000 miles.

Thanks for the info im actually looking and test drove trucks this weekend , i drove all 3 , my impression of the ram was only the screen , chevy i like how it look , but f150 was quick and ride better then the others to to me , and the chevy and ram redesign first years headaches, were ford style been out for couple years , f150 for the win

Clunking noise is from the front sway bar . Had mine retorqued . Brakes squeak . I had mine replaced at 5700 miles. I also had the transmission reprogrammed and it’s much smoother and also gained about 2 mpg in town

Good review! it makes me even more convinced that i made the right decision. It was a very close call between the Ram 1500 and the Ford Ranger Raptor (the F150´s are not available where i live) and i could not be happier with my Ford. It may not look as fancy as the Ram but from what i hear the Ram has serious reliability issues. Maybe the Ford truck got some issues as well but when i watch owner reviews from Australia i think the Ranger Raptor must do quite good on the long run. Regards!

Go Tundra! 💯

My 2016 F-150 left me stranded, My ram hasn't...yet will see lol

I have a 2017 Ram 1500 and my AC works fine in West Texas heat.

Thanks for the insight. Weighing options coming out of my nightmare second (replacement) Titan XD diesel. Btw I know exactly where that starbucks is and hate that drive through. West Texas engineering at its finest.
