At 90K is a great deal, at least it will last a long time if maintenance is kept up unlike the junk Ford is putting out with those garbage Ecoboost.

Totally agree. Crazy how other trucks haven’t taken that same design.

100% agree. Also a great place to hold a pizza flat on the way home!

i'm with you buddy. love the console shifter

@@lynnnabors4709 I with both of you. I absolutely hate knob

I love the knob shifter it works amazing!!!!!!!👍👍

I actually got very used to it and love it now

@@KMH8787 The knob is great! I’m on my third truck with a knob and it’s absolutely awesome! If you don’t like the knob you must be sort of a simpleton then! Just saying sorry…

Column shifter is fine. Rather have shift linkage than electronic dials or push button transmissions. Just me.

The column shifter is a much more complex mechanism that wears out and fails much more often then the simple hockey puck that has some added safety features. If you have a problem with the column shifter it is costly to repair. The knob is super easy to replace if needed. Also, the column shifter can block access to buttons and the infotainment system. I love the console and will never buy another column shifter.

Please no more music.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Why do you turn off mds?

@@lorenzo7437 I paid for a v8. The hemi is more responsive with it off, and it doesn't seem to cost me anything in MPG (one of those features that works better in theory). And basically, I don't like the idea of running 4 cylinders at max load (the gas that used to go to the other 4 cylinders now goes to the 4 that are still firing so they're working very hard) with low RPMs, it's a recipe for lugging, heat, stress, and eventually failure. Just my opinion.

@@JohnSmith-ev1sm Thanks. Mine is an older hemi so I can't turn it off. Nice to have the choice.

@@lorenzo7437 Did you try using the transmission/gear limiter? That's how we do it in the 5th gens, just press "-" once, then press "+" until you hit 8th gear but don't go past 8. Then the truck will still shift from 1 to 8 like normal but it will turn off MDS. Or, try using tow haul mode, that also works though that changes the shift points and holds the RPMs which you may not like.

I do the same, the 321 is just fine...if u aren't towing much rather get the better miles

How you liking it?

Stick with the BigHorn & don't buy something with so much tech & all that "luxurious" stuff in it & you can find yourself that 1500 Ram truck at 50k or less.

@@drinny23la4 You must work for Ford or GM! While they've been playing catch-up with the technology and luxury features that RAM has brought to the table. they've also bee working on trying to prevent it from reducing the payload too much. No! There's no excuses for it. We've reached a point where these vehicles can be constructed with lighter alloys, which offer superior strength than the old metals that they've been slowly phasing out. Cost shouldn't be a problem either, since those alloys aren't bleeding edge; and they've been manufacturing them enough around the globe to be nigh ubiquitous. We're not talking rare earth metals, either. Look at the way EV truck manufacturers are thinking outside the box. I loath EV's... and many of the designs are horrible... but at least they're trying to offer new solutions to problems that have been around for a while. There's no reason why the Big Three can't come up with a viable hybrid-V-8 luxury pickup truck, which not only offers respectable payload and tow capacities, but also gets GREAT fuel economy.

@@MickPsyphon no, I own a Ram, love the truck actually but I stuck with what I NEEDED......not got what I WANTED which makes a big difference. Obviously cost of everything will keep going up & trucks will be more expensive every year that keeps passing the problem is people keep buying & buying no matter how much they are asking for it. But hey I'm not an engineer I'm sure it cost a lot to built any vehicle now a days. Also I owned Ford as well but my favorite of all is Acura it out beats any brand vehicle out there so far on my books they are reliable & can run for years with 300k miles on it......on its original trans & motor which I currently own an 04 Acura RSX I been having for years with no major problems.

@@drinny23la4 You either skimmed through what I posted already, or are incapable of understanding my point... in which case it went way over your head.

Stick with cheap trucks with no options. Most of us like all the tech and enjoy the options. I love my cooled seats in the summer and using the 360 degree camera for parking. Bring on high end trucks it’s what the consumer wants!

There are controls on the steering wheel

Prices for vehicles are really getting insane. $50k for base and $100k for top line.

And to think I paid 118,000 for a level 2 trx with ram bar and tire carrier in may 2021. That’s a steal compared to this.

@@soaringindisguiseofbevies1836 that sounds like a good deal compared to this no doubt! Lol

It's all the bels and whistles that drive up the price. Interestingly I have looking at 2021 left over because of rebates and looks like most or on the cheaper/less equiped side. The more expensive trucks sell.

@@soaringindisguiseofbevies1836 If you bought that TRX level two you would have to pay a 10 percent luxury tax on top of the Msrp, and HST also to the government as of January 1 2022🤑🤑🤑🤑😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Steering column shifter was never fascinating to none of my family members & myself lol. Prefer the knob over the other 2. It works just fine & no issues at all, the column shifter gets annoying AF always gotta watch that its not on reverse or Neutral or lower gear instead of Drive.

The only thing I dont like about it is its a bit slow...reverse to drive when u need to move quick aint quick, other than that it grows on ya

Not correct. Everyone that has driven a Ram with the knob loves it after a couple months.

If it made your knob grow, I might get one too maybe I’ll have the same results.

@@OfOld I would agree, on the 4th gen Rams that was the case, but the response time of the shifter knob on the 5th gen is improved greatly.

yes

Coming from a Camaro SS, I honestly preferred the Quad Cab 2 the Crew. This is my first truck and I didn't want to be driving around in a fcuking boat. Crew Cab was just too much rear space for a bachelor with no kids 😉

I agree on knob vs console shifter, but I'd take it one step further and go column shift. Free up the whole console.

@@justin________7477 yeah I like the column shifter also cause there's a better "feel" for switching from P to D and such. When we did manoeuvres with Tahoe's, you can reverse out and pull a Y turn faster without looking down and making sure you're in drive... Not sure that would be the case with the knob and you gotta reach out a bit more

Yep

You know they have buttons next to the screen, you can use for HVAC right?

Not that I know of

A few reasons I won't buy a GM anymore. 1) family lost jobs from the Oshawa fiasco 2) Gm shut down the trim plant in Windsor years ago, family affected 3) GM shut down its best quality transmission plant in Windsor years ago. Family affected 4) GM took the bailouts from 2008 then ran with the money to Mexico 5) a GM dealer here fought on the side to close the pulp mill, 330 jobs lost in a rural area with few decent paying jobs. I'm done with GM.

@@EC_ATV_Outdoors I had several letters to the editor published which protested GM's ingratitude towards Canadians. I don't forgive GM and I won't forget. Having said that, nobody else makes a single pickup in Canada despite the fact we are the second biggest pickup market in the world.

@@rightlanehog3151 I like to support Canada, so I own a Grand Caravan, made in my hometown. Chrysler has never screwed over my family. They aren't perfect either, but for that, I also own a RAM. I still have family at the Ford plant in Windsor. But I haven't had much luck with Ford. And their designs were junk when I was young. Nowadays they are much better.

@@EC_ATV_Outdoors Next time I am in the market, buying a Canadian built vehicle will be my top priority. Corporations will continue to do whatever our generally spineless politicians allow them to do.

@@rightlanehog3151 can't argue that lol they should have had a stay in Canada stipulation to the bailouts

That sounds terrible. Part of the reason people buy it is because of the classic V8 sound and power. Also small direct injection engine with turbos will use just as much gas and cause additional issues. Direct injection systems especially.

@@TPowell12 ... Actually, they do not use more fuel. They get better MPG's if you drive responsibly. The FORD Ecoboost has been around now for close to 10yrs and has a proven record. I use that as an example, because the FORD is the best selling truck in the USA. I totally get the sound. But, it's 2022, and MPG's should be more important in a NEW truck. Now, I did not say to keep the V8, just offer an alternative even if that alternative has a premium price.

@@biz4twobiz463 I also think engine choices are great as long as they don't move away from a V8 option. In my experience turbocharged 6 cylinder mpg varies significantly. I would rather avoid the complexity of turbos, hybrid systems, and direct injection. When it comes time to fix these systems it may cost more than the fuel savings are worth.

If we can get one we will

It's not just Canada. The manufacturers are running away with prices on literally everything

2500/3500 are available with regular cabs with 8ft beds

didn't get my nap - Steve made me work.

They killed the SLT, it be comparable to a big horn in the mid 50s now which is crazy. I remember In 2015ish you could get a volume truck in the high 30s OTD that was only 7 years ago.

We can only quote MSRP - even though we know it will probably sell for less.

@@TruckKing Not true. Man trucks aren't moving below MSRP.
