I really liked the price pop ups in this video. Thumbs up.

The Fast Lane Truck is there a very capable off road package for these Ram V8 ?

El Cheapo it’s all about color and package on these new ones I’ve seen some in person I hated and some I completely drooled over

Dude he calls it a hybrid? Really!

The sports package will limit your interior to … black. It would be nice to be able to separate the 2.

@@jldude84 You should feel special. You got the only one.

Agreed I also call bullshit I've been driving a 3.5 Ecoboost and WILL get at and sometimes exceed their EPA numbers. I also get to enjoy out towing a Ram and out running any Ram that has tried.

@@jldude84 Edmunds makes the Statement at the being of their longterm ram 1500 review that 3mpg over epa numbers is refreshing to see unlike Ford which barely managed 3 under.

@@jldude84 Hear is a quote. It showed it's been updated with towing MPG included and the ram is still 1mpg over epa These numbers are worth picking apart for a moment. The same drivers that have been driving our 2015 Ford F-150 4x4 2.7-liter EcoBoost crew cab also drove this truck, and they used both of them in much the same way. The F-150 currently lags behind its EPA rating by three full mpg, but the Ram matched its EPA combined rating after a full 50,000 miles even while towing something during almost 20 percent of those miles. Ignore the towing miles and the Ram beat its EPA rating by one mpg. That almost never happens. Color me impressed. Dan Edmunds, Director of Vehicle Testing @ 50,084 miles

it wouldn't change your gas mileage towing on the highway at all...it makes the biggest difference in city only driving

The main difference is in city driving, I really want to test out the v6 etorque cause apparently you have more low end torque and that works for me. Keeping the revs low.

The problem with the Pentastar is. It tows as much as a 2.7 Ecoboost in the Ford. The 2.7 Ecoboost is just as good on Fuel. And when you wanna go quick the 2.7 will spank the 5.7 Hemi. I don't see why to get the Pentastar. That's just my opinion. I respect yours.

That is a minivan engine. You should be ashamed

Love my Pentastar RAM. Great mileage and performance if you don’t need to tow much. Best thing about it is it performs well without the complexity of turbos.

Actually Ford has won the last 2. 2018 F150, 2017 super duty. Might as well get a v6 EcoBoost 21mpg with 470 lb. Ft. Its fun...

Well Ram hasn’t changed their design in over 10 years so I mean they can get it

Then again the Chevy went from a square box to having an actual design scheme... So who knows...

@@dm-lombo1647 motor trend has been testing them already and doing there comparisons seen it on Instagram.

MotorTrend is sponsored by whomever pays the highest price. They have 0 credibility.

Best advice ever. Seriously.

True, but I just bought a new Limited marked down 19484 with combined dealer mark down and rebates. Just need to find a high volume dealer. Good deals are out there.

Cheezburger 61 you said it.

I got just over 11k off a Ram with a $41,800 sticker.

Second hand prices are far too high to do that these days. They've gone up 30% in the last 2 years.

Why are you so certain of this 300k+ figure? Just curious.

@@jamesnorris5778 DC motors are very overbuilt because of some of the Electrical characteristics inherent in DC motors, so that motor isn't ever going to be any issue. The potential issue comes with the 48v battery pack, but over the past 10 years, hybrids have been perfecting battery technology, and have gotten pretty reliable. the likelihood of a problem occurring and costing you anything is low, especially since your battery pack and e-torque are covered as part of the powertrain warranty.

I sure hope you're right. These things are pushing up toward the price of a house, so they really do need to last. At $50k+, they should come with a 10 year power train warranty, not 6.

It's a Ram. In a few months it will have $10k in rebates just like they always do.

Yup, all the years I have purchased trucks. I never paid full price. There are always incentives, rebates and even more negotiable price. Just don't but it on the first run. Then go grind with the sales staff. You will get a good deal.

No $10,000 factory rebate, but dealers are already selling them with $10,000+ in discounts anyways. This one has over $11,000 off www.chapmanchryslerjeeppennsylvania.com/new/Ram/2019-Ram-1500-28775d4f0a0e0ae873bebb086b1b5c04.htm This one has over $16,000 off. www.chapmanchryslerjeeppennsylvania.com/new/Ram/2019-Ram-1500-800758280a0e0a6b204d7f5fed41c7ad.htm

emdec55 do you know they are selling them for 10,000 off already?

DrunkTank just like Ford always do as well!

Agree, but like Andre says, the TFL crew needs to test one on their own turf for an in depth review. I need to find out if the eTorque system helps in off road driving. Looking forward to it. Keep up the great work TFL!

How will the hybrid system work in the winter? Since it’s a lithium ion battery and all, and those don’t do to well when it’s cold out. It would be kinda crapy if it did squat for most of the winter.

Looking at rams rn, the hemi a good choice? Thanks

@@brodyfulford6096 yes

Had the same thought but I seen a video with the battery, its quite small and modular, im thinking it could be swapped pretty easily.

The V6 sounds good. It's the best standard engine in all of the big 3 offerings. I'd trust the etorque system in terms of longevity over the ecoboost from Ford. I've heard some bad stories when these engines shit the bed. It's a mild hybrid system attached to the Dodge. Not part of the main propulsion system like Ford's ecoboost or even GMs new 2.7 Turbo 4 cylinder in the Silverado

I don’t no I don’t want etorque I don’t think it will be good in long run will become $$$$ for repairs

jabojr good point. I think it would.

Yes, of course it would. It's not a combustion process at that moment in time.

Chris Shaw I reckon just think of it like a minimally capable prototype of what they’ll be releasing in a couple of years.

No one realizes it's less of a hybrid than thought. The main thing ram is targeting since 2013 to improve fuel economy is parasitic losses, that's the key to understanding the eTorque. You have to have everything that runs off of the serpentine belt, but if you power them with the eTorque, the engine is "more free". They already took the power steering off of the serpentine belt drive with the last truck, so this is the next step. What you can expect or have already seen from ram is weight loss, reducing parasitic loss off of the serpentine belt drive, reducing parasitic loss through the powertrain such as thermal management, etc. If ram gets any new powertrain it will be around this trucks refresh in 2021 as a 2022 model. For now ram is milking the cow, and they are doing a damn good job.

3.6 Pentastar nice!

mikehauck 58 hey was the mpg on it v6 2017 vs a 2019 classic big horn v8 5.7 mpg combined is it a big difference between the two with no tow

FCA already had alternator issues at launch not being able to keep up with the electrical demands. That's why in some bighorn editions you will see a 115v outlet cap in the rear of the center console instead of the actual outlet. The wire harness still has the connection though.

FCA is well known for horrible reliability. I think you must be a hard fan of the brand to get one. Every single expert knows the Tundra will outlast them all and the F150 is just a better truck overall.

Retos Forza bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahahhaha

yeah i know man! i laugh at Rams too... lol

Think your confusing Ram with Ford when it comes to Electrical engineering!!!

Doesn’t exist

Trucks nowadays have so many more features, more power and technology and a lot of it comes standard even in the lowest trims like AC, power windows and such

That wouldn't be a fair comparison at all. You have 1 truck with turbos and the rest are naturally aspirated v8's if you wanna a good comparison. It would be a 5L from Ford so it is all v8's

@@lukeduffield189 it is more of a top of the line comparison then an engine comparison.

@@lukeduffield189 it's a test of premium trucks with the premium engine. If the other trucks want a turbo option then they can build their own

@@lukeduffield189 then the ford would have the smallest engine there by .6l and vs the chevy by 1.2 l you might as well use the 5.3l chevy if you want to to be fair.

F150 will win hands down

Even with the middle seat

did you get one? Im torn between the v6 and the v8.

I had a rental Enterprise Charger with the V6 last week. Damn thing was impressive. Lots of Daimler bits, but that motor was peppy.

Julian Pereira tundra is way better

In what way?.. In term of fuel economy, interior features, etc., Toyota seems to be lagging behind; especially the infotainment system. A lot of Toyota owners here in Dubai keep swapping it out for those Chinese Tesla style units. How bad does the stock system have to be for a Chinese unit to be better?... Even the one in my brother's 2014 full option Camry hasn't worked properly since the day he bought it and they have not replaced it despite numerous complaints. The Tundra has a more roomier cab and more comfortable back seat. But that is all as far as I am concerned. The rear window that completely goes down is an amazing feature but impractical if I install a headache rack or Rhino Sport bar. Some will talk about reliability, but I don't believe that to be the case. In the 4 years that I have been having my RAM, I've had to help out two Tundra owners with electrical issues stranded on the side of the road. So I would solely say that a vehicle is only as good as the owner who maintains it, with the exception of Ford.. That EcoBoost has some issues.

surprise that you had to help Tundra. all the parts in the tundra is bigger. the JAPANESE company Toyota is the most reliability vehicle in the market. the ford trucks is the most sold truck in the world. as fuel economy well i can do 13.2 l per 100 km in canada for the tundra and Tundra has 6 speed trany and hino rear diff 4:30. lift up the tundra vs ram ford chevy and you will see. the ram is a beautiful truck for shur but as resell value and reliability TOYOTA all the WAY. the looks of all brand well that i can't say what trucks is better looking. everyone is different.

I'm a huge fan of the Tundra. But I bought a Ram because all the way in terms of modern features, I found it to be the better truck for my needs; especially in terms of interior comfort, quality and fuel economy. This is all subjective though. Plus the added advantage over the Tundra is, here in Dubai, the local Toyota dealer does not support the Tundra. It is a popular truck here, but only because the locals love their land cruisers and like the Toyota reliability branding. Those trucks are all imported separately. The Ram is supported by the local dealer here which makes spares easier to come by. GM has the biggest presence here in the American full-size truck segment. It is more popular than the Tundra with the Ford Raptor taking the second place. I still maintain my view that any truck which is maintained the way that it is supposed to, will be extremely reliable; regardless of the brand.

Tundra would run out of fuel and the ram would keep rolling

Tony Hightower 😊whoot!!

The 3.0 v6 is a touched up CRd motor from the late 00s. This was back when Daimler and chrysler were still together. The main marketing lingo is that this 3.0 is all new. However a lot of the basic elements remain. That said, I own an ecodiesel and cannot say good enough things about the motor. The rest of the truck is trash.
