anyone interested in buying a ram 1500 should not think twice. These trucks are very well built and precise. the tranny does shift soft for that smooth ride feeling. I love my truck and can't believe its such a nice ride. Hands down this is the best half ton on the market. The price was right too. I have 5 truck for the business 2013 ram 3500, 2015 chevy 3500, 2007 chevy Colorado, 2005 chevy Colorado, 2010 jeep wrangler. The 2016 ram 1500 is my favorite ride by far. In the snow it is perfect and handles almost to good, I check myself going to fast on the icy roads because it feels so safe. I put it in 4 auto and go. No studs just all season tires. I am a big guy that needs my extra room and this truck has all the room I need. We don't drive the jeep any more because how comfortable the seats are in the ram 1500. The chevy 1500 was a little small in the cab and the ford was $8,000.00 more money for the same options. The ford was roomy but the price tag was just to much. There nothing better than a good purchase you can brag about.

I, literally, just sat down and grabbed my tablet. Thanks for giving me something enjoyable to view.

I can sum up this truck in three words... I want it. My dream vehicle would be this truck, with this motor, and that interia, but in that nice dark metalic brown colour. Simply awsome Truck. If only they were available in the UK with right hand drive, I'd choose this over anything. Think I'm in love.

Nothing beats watching these videos after work.

that's a dam nice lookin truck! thanks for the time N effort pard!

great review. i agree 100% with all your points on this. Thats also a killer price, I would like to come buy it if it wasn't so far away... keep up the good work.

would like to see what you think of the 3.0L ecodiesel in this truck!

excellent description of a very nice truck.... i always liked the ram trucks.... great vid

Great video's,no bias at all.

additionally, why can't more youtuber reviewers do reviews with the audio quality and professionality that you do? i really appreciate the professionality most of all! no bull. no bias. professional. facts facts facts with some well deserved compliments to the manufacturer sprinkled in occassionally.

I went from Chevy 3/4 ton to ram 1/2 ton. It was a big adjustment. But I have loved my 2012 Laramie. seeing that one makes me think it's time to upgrade!

Never been a Dodge fan , I'll take the Tundra any day however you do a great job of of interview. Thanks Again

Great video as always!

Currently searching for a new truck and your videos have been very helpful! Thanks!

Yea! you finally did a 1500 RAM

WOW this truck is absolutely awesome!!! I'll bet the 2019 RAM is even nicer, dang I love that interior and center stack fitment...for sure the best in class by far. SEXY

just got myself a 2017 Laramie Longhorn truck man drives like new man im in love.

I listen to XM octane too... good choice they play decent rock

golly that truck seems so danged nice and beautiful that i don't think i'd ever feel comfortable taking it deer hunting or goose hunting in the muddy fields! such a beauty!

Great video. I personally have a Ram 1500 Big Horn package with a 5.7 liter hemi and 3.92 rear axle. I use mine as a daily driver to my office and on the weekends

Just bought today longhorn pearl white damnnn love it

great video, look under the floor mats in the rear, there are storage bins.. just fyi.. great trucks

Great review!

I have a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 4 wheel drive Big Horn series pickup. I have put a 2 & a half inch lift kit on it an inch and a half left in the back. I love this truck I've had it for 8 years and I wouldn't trade it in for anything but when it hits 200,000 miles then I might trade it in on a new one we'll just have to wait and see but I love my truck thank you dodge for making a great truck

excellent review

There amazing trucks!! I have a 2016 Ram 1500 Lonestar crew cab 4x4 with a 3.92 axle ratio and Hemi. It's loaded aswell one of the best trucks we've ever owned put 8000 miles on it in 4 months and loved it all. The ride is amazing aswell super smooth and great for road trips took it to Tennessee and back and was in comfort the whole way. Even better is I got it for $32500 with only 4800 miles on it. It was a hidden gem in the back of the lot no one saw and I got it!!

Really enjoyed this video, especially because I myself have a 2010 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi. Watching this for me is going to be different than others by default, but my thoughts on your videos: The only thing I wish you would have done is shown the cubby that's beneath the rear seats and flat foldout. I find it incredibly useful and I put my trailer hitch in there with all my straps. Addressing your negatives about the truck: I agree with the hump in the back. I hate it. Luckily I rarely have people back there, but when I do I know it gets in the way. I love my mirrors. I have the standard mirrors this truck had and I find them amazing. They're big for non tow mirrors (look at the Silverado!) and I can see just fine. This truck really doesn't have a blindspot. I can see people in small cars passing me on the right in the mirror and when they disappear off the mirror I can see the front of their car with my eyes by slightly turning my head. The blindspot is very tiny on the right side and nonexistent for me on the left side (I always shoulder check, so there is no blindspot for me, but if you don't shoulder check there will be a small one)

RAM for life

Another awesome video! Why don't they have leaf springs?

I'm a die-hard Ford truck guy, but will admit the other 2 make a nice truck as well.

Keep up the great videos!!!!

First, love the channel. Keep it up. Second, I have to admit, RAM is making a nice looking truck here. I love the interior. It really does have it's appeal. However, FCA can't make a reliable machine. They just can't. I'm a Master Certified Technician and just way they do things it's designed to fail. Constant electronic issues, transmission issues, PCM issues. They are built down to a price. My clients with FCA cars all have the same typical issues. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is the same thing. And half the time the dealer has no idea how to fix it. And the Daimler years? YIKES don't get me started. Again, it's a beautiful truck, and if it was made by someone else, I'd really be tempted. But, if you ask my opinion on this -- a guy that works on all makes and has seen the issues and quirks each make has -- I'd tell you to buy a truck built by someone else. As an aside, that MSRP is ridiculous. It's obvious they inflate that so they can offer you a "great deal" and you feel like you walked off robbing them. It's all part of the well-designed scheme. A nice side benefit is that there are actually people that do pay MSRP. It's a win-win strategy for FCA. I understand there are FCA fans here, and I kind of am one with this truck. I am almost sucked in by the design (but I know what's underneath and waiting). However, I am basing this on what I see on a daily basis, not just preference or fan affiliation. Take it as you may. I just hate working on my own cars so I rather get something that doesn't need so much needless repair due to cost cutting. I rather pay an automaker that puts the money I give them into a quality product instead of in their pockets. Again great vid, keep em coming! EDIT: The rotary style of shifter in this Ram is under investigation by the NHSTA for causing 25 accidents and 9 injuries. Apparently Park is not really park in some cases which causes rollaways. If you have one of these vehicles with this rotary shifter (RAM/Durango) please use your parking brake every time you put it in park! It may save you a headache (or worse) while they figure it out. Be safe out there!

Hey I just picked one of those up!

Hi I am in AUSTRALIA and waiting for the 1500 Diesel. Great truck and we pay converted to RHD about $150,000-00 plus on road costs comes to about $180,000-00 AUD

Hey, man! I've watched your videos. I like how you give advices to people. It sounds like you have a lot of experiences with trucks. I just want to know what your thoughts about the RAM 1500. I've heard that Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler are the worst brand to go to if you want reliable cars/trucks. But while I was researching for answers to prove them wrong, it seems like the RAM 1500 are always behind the top pickup trucks. Considering there are only a few competitors I never seen it on the top 2 or 1. It's always the Fords or Chevrolets. The tundra I know for sure is reliable. In fact Toyotas are. But I keep having this feeling that I want to believe that this RAM 1500 has a potential. Or is it just the people who are making it sound bad for RAM 1500s? Is it the people's fault why RAM 1500s are below the ranks? Is the "It should be regularly maintained" applicable or does the RAM 1500 really has bad design or their materials really cheap that makes it not reliable?

Did you post a pic of the "yellow door" sticker for this particular (4x4) truck that I might have missed? The spec sheet you posted says 1230lbs payload with an asterisk. Be good to know what the actual payload is for this specific, optioned truck. When shopping back in late 2014, we considered RAM and (lower) payload on 4x4 models along with the middle back seat being a real penalty box place, crossed it off our list. We needed 5 real people seats and payload for our 7600lb travel trailer and family that would have exceeded the ratings of the Rams. Thanks - Great job!

Nice review. I just bought a new left over 2016 Ram 1500 4x4 Bighorn trim in the same configuration (however, with the 6'4" bed). I was able to get my truck that stickered at $47,995 down to $38,480 out the door WITH FCA's 0% for 75 months promotion last month. No other manufacture offered anything close to that deal. I still love my Superduty, but this half ton Ram is nice too!

you dont need a blind spot mirror if you adjust your side mirrors appropriately, while not towing. Also, if you turn off the MDS and put it in tow mode with traction control off you can really increase the throttle response.

Is it just me or do alot of the newer half tons get most of the same packages and offers like a 3/4 or 1 ton like the axle ratio and sway bars?

would like to see a review on the 3.0 EcoDiesel

Great review.. Can you offer a strong deal if I wanted to order my '17 2500 through you? Thanks!

That truck here is $51,995 . Plus GST . They are really well made and equipped . I don't own or need a truck but they are popular here even with gas at $1.07 per LTR . I'd go with the Dodge Sport starts at $36000.

My wife has a 2016 ram 1500. I drove a 2016 GMC 1500 the other day and I thought it was horrible compared to the Ram. The GMC's ride quality sucked, steering sucked, and acceleration was weak. I'd buy another Ram in a heartbeat over a GM truck.

Thanks.

Ram is moving up in the world! There design inside the truck is top notch! Thank the Italians for that one! FIAT BABY!!!

I wish Ram would do a complete a exterior makeover!

I love my ram 1500 but my 8 speed transmission is sometimes jerky and clunks when driving slow speeds or in stop and go, a little dissapointing for a 40 grand truck, its smooth as silk on the highway tho

great review. got a few things wrong tho. not all ram 1500 come with coil suspension. there is an option for 4 corner air suspension that you can raise and Lowe the truck. ( I have that on my ram if you would like to do a review. ) also no mention of the ram box option . ( which I also have and live in Houston btw) the fat or projector headlights are not good at all! and I'm almost positive that the rams do not have hill assist like you mentioned.

So when are they finally going to give this truck a new look?

Love it

love what you do man keep it up, curious about the airbag system that ram has. do you know of it is only for ride height or does is help with payload and towing?

just imagine this truck with black headliner that would be a winner. limited sport and rebel has it. my 2c

Nice video but out of all your videos I think the new F150 is the best truck out there. Just my opinion 👍🏻

You missed the SD card reader in the console. You also missed the in-floor storage boxes on both sides in the rear. You also didn't mention the heated rear seats. And dual glove boxes. Also need to mention that 4x4 Lock is NOT full time 4x4. 4x4 Lock works just like 4x4 Auto - only when the truck detects slippage, does it engage the front wheels. And the traction control is handled via braking the slipping tire.

nice

Awesome review. Is the ride comparable or better than the new F150's?

Big Truck Big RV $57k??? thats crazy man, up here in alberta you can't get a brand new sport for under $60k let alone a laramie longhorn. My buddies dad got a 2016 last year for $71k haha. But i was also wondering about the "higher" 9710lbs towing? Mine has the 3.92 axel and its rated for 10,600lbs

The ONLY thing I really disagree with (just my $0.02 as everyone has different tastes) is the tow mirrors. I have those "car mirrors" and I find them perfect for my driving style (AGAIN, this is me and not the rest of the populous who might drive this vehicle). I have them just so I don't have a massive blind spot. I can see cars coming and as they move out of the view of the mirror, I can already see them next to me out of my windows. On another note, I do not tow with my RAM 1500. It's my daily driver and I would agree that it's comfortable and well equipped (2016 Big Horn package). My father owns a 2016 RAM 2500 with the Cummins and the tow mirrors. This is what we use to tow all the trailers, so the mirror difference is definitely noticed here (and much more appropriate in my opinion). When you look at a ½-ton or ¾-ton truck with the mirrors seen here, I agree that it doesn't seem to be the appropriate set-up for the vehicle. An excellent video that shows great insight and knowledge to reviewed vehicles without any unnecessary bashing or "[INSERT BRAND/MODEL HERE] is better because I own one and it just is".

I have a 2013 Ram 1500. Great truck. But I have having to change the spark plugs every 30k.

Fiat can't attach fender flares. They are always already coming off whether it's a Laramie or a 80 grand Jeep grand Cherokee while still in the dealership

any chance you could do a review on the Ram 2500 Power Wagon?

Some of these cameras guys are using have a nice picture, but they're distorted as hell. Fisheye effect, almost.

Was this in Corpus? Looks familiar lol

Wait until 2019 for the redesign, folks!

Why is there a 2017 with the ram lettering grill ? And this one is just normal

Everything is great except when they made that switch to the turn dial shifter.

Nice looking truck. I think Ram has come a long way since the 90's. One question, does the shifter knob have a dummy switch in it to prevent the "wife trying to turn down the radio, and putting it into reverse at 80mph"? Also curious to hear how the coil springs feel when towing near capacity. Solid review to, keep it up.

Would be a dream to own a Truck like this in Australia under USA$50,000 but unfortunately to get one here is over AUS$100,000 Yep, only a Dream

any idea why the RAM 1500s are coil rear suspension over traditional leaf springs?

Would you like to review a ram rebel ?

O K. Which is a bigger truck, Ram 2500 or Ford 250?

Good Price But check the Crash Test ! ! !

New body style should be out in 2018-2019 I think.

I'm not a ram fan, but this truck looks beautiful. the only thing that's sucks is the shifter knob that don't belong to a truck looks so cheap and that truck deserves a better tougher shifter than that shifter kNob but overall looks nice.

Rams are nice looking trucks, but quality scares me. But I have also read a lot of bad things about the Ford. I am looking at towing 7 - 8K boat so I would probably have to go with a 3/4 ton even though they don't ride as well.

I just cant get over how much the RAM feels like a "bro" truck.

Yes please Father Christmas

Did it have 3.92 gear in rear end?

Should I buy a 2017 Ram 1500 or a F-150? I'm too lazy to do research.

The short bad is a deal breaker.

Have you heard of the rambox?

No manual Low and no O/D shutoff. I suspect Fiat/Chrysler doesn't expect to make money from selling trucks, but they'll make tons of money from service.

Over powered? Add the 6.2 hellcat engine and that would be just enough power for me for a bit.

I hate those giant badges

Incredible value at nearly $60000 with tax? It doesn't have blind spot detection, A Diesel engine, heated cooled or massage seats, heated mirrors, heated steering wheel, power running boards, Power tailgate, Advanced safety features like Lane departure warning or active lane assist or any kind of driving assist. Far from luxury imo. These things depreciate like hell. I had a coworker who bought one and they became underwater in there loan.

I hope you don't normally park like you did at 2:23

I got a 2001 Dodge ram :|

to the top of the bed 56 inches. that's a deal breaker I was about to get it but never mind now.

That gold instrument panel has to go. It's too gaudy or ostentatious for a truck.

I like rams but I hate how their transmissions don last long ):

Have you considered being a truck sales person. You have more than enough knowledge! But the real question is, how are your morals?

The jump from Laramie to Laramie Longhorn is a horrible value proposition.

I understand I don't have to buy a vehicle with wood panels but all vehicles with wood panels are ugly. I am a dodge/ram. but I own a ford. :/ next vehicle will be a ram

I don't think the gearing kicking in is an axle ratio problem. Probably the fact that FCA isn't the best when it comes to transmissions. I love ram but I'm not gonna deny that.

Cargo capacity sucks. 1,000lb hitch weight is easy with only a 7,000 trailer. 9,000lb tow my ass. Light towing at best with passengers and a little cargo in the bed.

nice truck but its still a ram...lol...worst crash rating and no new technology...

You young people don't know what a real truck is. I'll stick with my 'ALL STEEL' 1973 DODGE W100 with its bored out 360...............I got no use for a PLASTIC vehicle as my main vehicle.

i spent 26,000.00 plus taxes and intrest for a ram and its rusting away never agian will i buy a dodge i dont care what it looks like now look at other dodges that are afew years old or more and deside for your self

Don't know what it is but the Ram interiors do nothing for me. It's a subjective thing but they just seem so bland. It also annoys me that they feel the need to put RAM on everything; the doors, dash, etc.
