Just purchased a 2020 ram 1500 big horn V8 5.7L hemi w/etorque, gray w/the night edition package, equipment 2 package. It came with many options including heated seats & the 12" screen, auto mirrors, usb's & plugin's in the front & rear, etc. Love this truck so much! Paid 43k after rebates, financed 18k.

Ben, please continue with this buyer’s guide. Great Job!

I enjoyed from start to finish, this is the BEST covered 2019 Ram video with details bar none and kudos, no music which is most annoying on just about each video I have almost watched. Yes you should continue,in fact the manufacture should compensate you for doing a great job detailing their product.

Great video, I’ve actually been looking for 1500 trim differences the past 2wks and this was exactly what I wanted!

Loved this video. As a new salesman feeling a bit overwhelmed with all there is to learn, I'm watching this video multiple times to soak up the info.

I like these comparison videos, they are informative. If I have to compare manufacturers on my next vehicle purchuse, I won t be in the dark! Excellent! 👍

That was a lot of good information! Thanks for making this video.

Great information! I have the 2018 Ram 1500 Laramie with V-8 Hemi, and I love it very much

Was helpful to listen to. I'm considering a RAM in 2021. This is a good overview to understand the Trim levels and some of the primary options. It's much better than trying to understand this from the RAM website, which I did earlier today. The site is not as simple as it should/could be to attract (potential) beginning buyers. Thanks Ben.

I would keep watching all your buyer guides even though I’m not shopping for a truck. This was great info. I enjoyed every minute.

I have a 2002 quad cab SLT with the 5.9 magnum. It was the first iteration of the new body style. I bought it in June of 2002 and it's still going strong. I undecorated it, put on rear wheel inserts, stainless full length running boards, over the rail rhino liner and a body match cap, running lights. I love it still after 18yrs. Turning 60 next year and am looking at the 2500 Cummins Longhorn. It will take me into my 70s.

Thank you for this video this is your best video yet I think it’s a mash up of everything you’ve made video wise and is awesome

Great content! I am looking at a '21 Limited when they come out (my first Ram), so this was very helpful. I did comment below about possibly adding better lighting if you continue to shoot indoors, but the content of this video is relevant and well done!!

We have a fleet of these trucks with 5.7 Hemi engines, and they have been really good to us. We also bought Chevrolets and have had nothing but transmission and brake problems with them. The main problems we have had with the Rams are some recalls on computers and electronics. We do have some exhaust manifold cracks on our older high mileage trucks, but we beat these trucks to death. We have stayed away from Fords because of their oil leak issues and their aluminum bodies are more expensive to repair. I am not saying Ram trucks are the best thing on the market, but they have been really good to us. I have one with 170,000 miles on it, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the US.

I have been trying to assess the best option for comfort, towing capacity and safety options. Your video has been so helpful mainly because you explain everything clearly plus you are gorgeous.

I love this video, not everybody can buy a new truck, but if we know where to look at if we buy a secondhand truch from a expert, thank you. Look forward to more videos like this

You really should recommend the LED Light Group on the Bighorn because I have this and it really makes the truck excellent driving at night and it adds to the resale !!!

Great video and awesome how you compared all trims, big help man. Thank you.

Hey Ben, I like the direction you’re taking this channel. Bell button clicked!

I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Offroad. My Wife and I really love this truck. It has the 12 inch screen and led pkg which really let's you see better. It has the 3:21 gears that gives me about 24 strictly Hwy. We pull a 6K travel trailer which it pulls with ease. Plenty of power. Gas mileage plumets of course to about 10 but it's a truck folks. Also I don't drive it to conserve fuel, especially pulling the trailer. I go! It's been drop dead reliable at 19000 miles with several Thousand mile trips under its belt. It is very impressive and I am well pleased.

Great video! Just picked up my 2020 1500 limited 5.7 Hemi last week! Loving it....big time! Mine does not have e-torque btw!

Can you make video on ram 2500 as well, regarding trims to choose.

👍🏽great video! It has definitely helped me decide on what vehicle out the new generation to buy. Thanks!

Would love to see one on the 2500s! I'm in the market now

Great job! I definitely learned a lot from this video.

I’m in the market and this def helped. I always like to compare what is the difference between models. And sometimes I don’t have time to read the descriptions on websites so they helps. If you want to improve def add more videos or images on the upgrades as you move up in trim. I’d like to see them in person. But overall enjoyed the video.

Love ❤️ these videos 👍🏾

Great info! Really helped me out. Thanks

Definitely need more videos like this keep up the good work

Great video. Thank you. Do you know the changes coming in the 2021 model?

Any updates for 2021? I’m looking at getting into a Ram this year. Your channel has been great for my vehicle research.

Please make more videos like this. Very helpful. Thanks.

Another item to look out for is the back window seal cracking. And allowing water to go in the upper roof fabric.

Hey Ben, Awesome tips. Make more videos bro. 👍

Thanks good video. I have a couple specific questions still if anyone can help. 1 - I really like the E Torque option but want to know if it's reliable in 2019 and/or 2020 2 - with COVID is the 2020 a good value or to save should I still look at 2019's. Again, thanks and good vid!

My 19 ram 1500 has given me no problems I had mines since April 2018

Enjoyed the info. Good job Ben👍

Nice vid! Love my 19 Bighorn! ❤️

Ben, simply outstanding!!!!

Great video! Thanks for the info!

I have a 2015 Lonestar 5.7 Hemi. I absolutely love this truck.

Well I have two ford F150's a 2005 King Ranch. Never a day of trouble out of it. And I also have a 2015 XLT. Just got that one. Could you do the same thing with f150 trim and engines. Thank a lot enjoy your video.

Great video, very informational. Please do a Ram 2500 video.

Love the video. Honest opinions!

Great video. But you didn’t mention the front leak at the drivers door, rear glass leak or weak ac. Other than these I’m sold on a Limited Black Appearance, just don’t want to buy a headache. Nothing compares to the Ram, and I know every brand has issues, but those 3 seem constant, frequent and hard to repair, if at all, no ac fix at the moment. Have you experienced any of these on your old rebel or have you heard of it?

Definitely needed this video

Great video, thank you very much

I bought a 2019 Ram Limited with the level one safety package back in Nov 2018. Love my truck! But is it normal for the front sensors to shut off if your close to an object? Love the videos man!

Ben, good video. Keep it going please

Great Video. My 4th Ram in 5 years.Got Rid of 17 Ram Sport Night Edition and replaced with 19 Big Horn Blacked out appearance Pkg. Got in Oct end of year great deal good value. Big Horn level 2 very nicely equipped.Always get the Hemi in the Ram truck.I have gotten on all of mine.

Just bought a used 2020 limited ecodiesel. So far. Loving it

I am looking at trading in my 2019 longhorn for a 2020 with more features and to have their new apr and financing because of the virus. My 19 was in the shop for a water leak in the sliding rear window. I cant find any data about 2020's having this issue like the 19's did. Ben/anybody else, have heard about any problems with the 2020 models?

Ben , were you ever able to check out the "Canadian Trim", simply called the Sport? It's similar to a night edition, everything is blacked out. I traded in my 2011 Laramie for a 2019. I didn't think I'd ever like a vehicle as much as the Laramie, but I really like my Sport Crew cab 4 x 4. I bought one with just about every option available. Some of them I didn't learn about until watching KZfaq. It's only available with the 5.7 (Etorque is not an option). Leather is standard, as is the Alpine with the 8.4 touch screen (I didn't know about the Harman Kardon - that's on me, as well as the salesperson - they should all be as knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their product as you are). I like the 8.4 due to the Knobs that can be used without causing any distraction while driving. I don't have the air suspension, which is fine with me. I live in Yellowknife, in the Northwest Territories (east of Alaska). The dealership here won't sell any trucks with the air suspension due to the havoc the extreme cold weather wreaks on them (-40 is the same in both Celsius and Fahranheit). Some of the options I have that I recommend: Power running boards, the 3:92 gear ratio for the towing capability that you touched on, 33 gallon fuel tank, trailer break as well as the class IV hitch receiver, the Sport hood and of course, the panoramic sunroof. I think the only things it may not have are the seat memory function and the reclining rear seat, which isn't a problem because I tend to do all my driving while seated in the driver's seat. So far, I have had zero issues. It was manufactured just a few months before I purchased it last June, so it wasn't one of the early builds that had a few recall notices. was MSRP was $56,000 US before dealer incentives. I paid a few thousand less than 50,000. Lastly, I don't use it very often, but I like having the CD player. Don't know why they deleted it for 2020 - as if there isn't enough storage already.

Also the etorque hemi comes with auto start stop. Regular hemi doesn’t. I know most people hate that feature

Nice video! Thanks, although i prefer the 3.21s. That 8 speed scoots off the line. Dont need optional gears like we used to. And i prefer the anti spin over the locking diff. I think if more people educated themselves on the difference, they would go with the anti spin. on road = anti spin off road = sure, locking diff instead. But the locking diff is actually an open diff 99% of the time.

Great video! I have a 2019 Limited with a 3.21 rear end. Can you explain why you believe the 3.92 is the better driving rear end? I understand the towing increase, but the quality of the drive confused me.

Ben, This was helpful and definitely continue! One KZfaq video I've watched describes the Ram 1500 this way. The 5.7 Hemi is a good engine but the rest of the components around it as inferior particularly all the electrical components. I'd be interested to learn your thoughts on that and your opinion about the air conditioning. Somebody in a previous post mentioned it too. Would you agree that the a/c is weak or do you know if its been improved for 2020?

Did they fix the bad water leaks into the cabin and weak AC for 2020. Wouldn’t get one until at least the water leaks were addressed

Great job as always! 👍🏻👍🏻

I just bought a 2020 ram crew big horn long horn edition w 6.5 bed just wish it had the led pkg!

Thanks for the video!

Great educational video.

Ben your videos are very helpful. And if I were to buy one, I will buy the Limited. I just love the Chrome. I'm old school. Love that Chrome on The Limited And that 12in screen That's awesome.

Hi Ben, I am interested in ordering a New 2021 limited 1500 from the manufacture, but I don't know how to start the process nor who to trust to get the best price. Can you help me. Thank you.

As far as reliability. Should I stick with my f150. Or see if I can trade in for a Ram Night edition. Or just save my F-150 , pay it off and get a TRX

What about the 2020 Sport? I think you forgot to mention this package.

My dad has a 1 ton limited single rear wheel long bed but he really wants a longhorn just because of all the tan leather

Thanks I hit the bell. Clicked the like button

Tell us about the middle range truck and the best truck.

Nicely done Ben!✌🇨🇦

What about the air suspension option? I’m in the market and thinking ram

Please do more of those videos

Love the vids man. Have u seen what the stad man has done to his gladiator

Good detailed explanation of the models and differences. I'm still driving my '14 Ram Sport with 3:21 and air suspension. It also has the Ram Box storage. You didn't make any mention of Ram Box for the new 2020 trucks. Are they no longer available? You also say to try buy a new truck at invoice or below invoice. Who is going to sell you anything at or below invoice? I heard many years ago that dealers use 2 invoices; a high invoice that they'll show you if you ask and another low invoice that is the actual invoice that is used between dealers for example when they transfer inventory from one to another. That's if they still in fact do that today. I find it totally rediculas the whole idea of the rebates offered these days. Back in the 70's you could buy a new truck with less money than a rebate today. That completely disguises the market and the ruins the value of something. Everything g is so hyper inflated that they gotta give you a rebate to bring it back to earth to sell it. Who in their right mi d would buy one of these WITHOUT the rebate? Who would pay full price?

Almost every Ram 1500 sold with the V8 VVT MDS (with or with eTorque) is optioned with the 3:92 Axles ratio. All of the Ram 1500 V8 VVT MDS tested by the EPA for Pollution and Fuel Millage are equipped with the standard 3.21 Axles ratio. The 3.92 Axles increases the Max Trailer Load Rating, and does increase the acceleration rate, especially from a dead stop or low speed. The penalty for the 3.92 vs. the 3.23 ratio is approximately 10-20% More Fuel consumption, depending on the amount of City and Highway driving. These Axle Ratio differences are rarely ever mentioned in reviews or forums, where the poor fuel millage of the Ram is often mentioned. As for the other Rear Axle Options, the more expensive and “Low Speed Off Road Use Only” Driver Selected “Electronic Locking Axle” is the most popular. That is because the Anti Spin Option is Not Available with the 3.92 Axle. The less expensive and Automatic, Anti Spin Axle is a mechanical system that’s been around for over half a century. It is best suited for On Road and performs well Off Road. But it is no match Off Road for the traction provided by Electronic Locking. It also sometimes grumbles in slow tight turns, like parking maneuvers.

thanks for all that Ben, I'm a Limited guy myself and love my white color than black..

Great video

Thoughts on the RamBox?

i have my brand new 2019 ram rebel this truck always have backup camera problem. when i got the truck in December last year first few hours i left the dealer the backup camera already broken. i have to brought it back to the dealer to let them fix it and yesterday same shit happens again.

I’m looking at some 2019 holdovers and now he says there is a problem with the front end suspension? Maybe l will insist on a 2020. The Bighorn is just a bit light on luxuries so I’m thinking Laramie - it has a sharp interior and Level 1 adds a lot. The dealer seems to like to order black or white exteriors and a lot f black interiors which I believe looks like a cave.

What’s the difference between invoice and MSRP?

I'd like to see a buyer's guide on f-150s too good job

I'm looking at getting a Laramie with the multi function tailgate. Your thoughts on getting it with the 12" unconnect or the 8.4" C unconnect? Is the big one really that much better and worth the extra $1300??

Will there be the new gmc sierra also?

I bought an 06 in December, cash money. As long as I get 5 years out of it I’m happy. It’s thirsty, but I don’t drive far to work. A new truck doesn’t make sense financially. Depreciation is horrible.

What is your advice on negotiating the best deal on a custom factory ordered RAM truck for cash? The dealer will have no carrying costs (insurance, finance, etc.)

Awesome videos man. With your expertise what do you think about a use 2019 limited, sunroof, 2 wheel drive, entertainment level 1 package (I think that’s the name), with 12-15k miles in the range of $42-47k?

RAM fix the cam failure issue yet?

Thanks bro I'd love to see this for the 2500 version too! Also for ford trucks!

I have a bighorn 19 it has lunmbar seats also heated and seats and heated steering wheel

would the rebel bumper fit my 2019 bighorn if i get the grill and the trims under the headlights ?

This video was perfect

Anybody have an issue with their AC in the 2020? I'm almost ready to hit FCA with a Lemon Law notice. Its been over two months , four parts later and still no solution

Good video!

Any suggestions for special ordering a vehicle AND still getting a good deal ?

Had a 03 08 14 and 19 ran them all to 155k and sold them not the 19 got it now all hemis followed the book on upkeep worked the shit out of them no problems Repeat no problems But always bought the lower options because it’s the bells and whistles that always go

That was helpful, thanks! One suggestion would be to not sit quite so close to the camera. I watch a LOT of youtube videos every day and it is very off-putting when someone is just a little too close to the camera. Nice video though Ben! :-)

Good stuff.

Which truck is the one with the ram box

You should talk about the Built to serve RAM, not to many people know about that.
