When you run a quote on the RAM website it will say, "When properly equipped it can tow up to 11,560 pounds and carry a payload of 1,910 pounds", You have to choose the Trailer Tow Packages. Another exterior option is "4-Corner Air-Suspension - $1,995 - It includes five height selections. Up and down control is via a toggle button in the switch bank. It provides ease of entry and exit as well as a higher ride height for additional ground clearance and a lower ride height for aerodynamics and maximum efficiency." A CLASS exclusive. Almost forgot: the 8 speed transmission is from ZF Friedrichshafen AG in Germany and they are widely recognized as one of the best manufacturers in the World. A significant upgrade.

By far the best auto best truck review I’ve heard on KZfaq ever!!! You convey the most vehicle information in the most concise way while making it exciting and interesting. Don’t stop making these vids. Keep it up cause you definitely have a big career ahead of you whatever you chose to report on.

I just rented this exact truck. 2025 Laramie no ugly tow mirrors! Twin turbo had plenty of power for me. Hauled butt in sport mode. Until i put 85 octane in it. Power got very weak. Very quiet motor .I down shifted it a lot in Rocky Mountain National Park. . That worked great. Lays a 6 foot black mark in sport 4wd. Wish i could take 4wd off in sport mode.0-60 was nice until 85 octane. Motor tachs high. Interior gauges,nav etc. was nice. Inside door panels look like they would weather quick. Headlights on dim could have been better. Seats and steering wheel were nice! Very nice truck but I would not pay 70k. I drive junk.

Great review Kenny! The refresh is really nice and this is the best looking big truck imho. Cheaping out on the running and tail lights is not cool on a 71k truck. The V8s are going to go away for the most part because of CAFE requirements but for me if I can get the same or more power out of a turbo 6 I'm good. Hope that you are doing great!

Unfortunately just like the 2025 F-150, Stellantis tried to copy GMC and give their trucks a more sophisticated exterior look but it only made the RAM look bland, conservative and underwhelming. The Sierra always has been the best looking half-ton truck imo but now it’s the truck with the most road presence too.

I’m happy with my 22 limited. I think the hurricane will be a good motor but I’m happy with my 5.7. Has enough power for my needs and the sound from the hemi is unmatched. I think the refresh is meh personally. It’s not much different than the previous version and a step back in some areas. I am jealous of the three settings on the heated steering wheel though. I know mine has the capability but you have to buy something to unlock all the hidden features in the vehicle.

Good vid. But nope, 8 banger or nothing for a truck that size (diesel of course excepted). No replacement for displacement, physics matters. The only reason they are doing this now is because the gov is putting a gun to their head for fines to meet mpg requirements. That's all. If you think maintenance is expensive on your engine now....wait till you get turbo repair bills. Have fun zooming around kids.....

@Lq32332 2 ай бұрын

Everything you said is a joke. 🤡 Cylinder count is irrelevant. A well designed engine can handle boost. The inline 6 Hurricane looks good on paper and I hope it turns out well. The Hemi has notorious issues (lifters, exhaust manifolds, cams, etc). I daily a 5.7 Hemi but I know it’s not the most reliable and it has way less power (especially at elevation).

@@Lq32332 Sit down child....the adults are talking. Ever hear of RPM? Go ahead and compare son.....let me know. Do you even understand how engines wear? Ever wonder why 6 bangers are typically listed for about 150K and a 8 is 200K plus? Why don't you watch some real mechanics and learn? I've owned more trucks and cars than you could ever afford. Including multiple hemi's (still running after 20 years) and also very expensive turbo's, cars you can only cream yourself over. You'll never afford them. So I'll explain them to you. You are the joke. Go buy your turbo and tell me how wonderful those bills are. And since it is SO powerful...I'm sure you will just LOVE towing with them!!! A FOCKING HONDA RIDGELINE HAS A HIGHER MAX PAYLOAD THAN YOUR TURBO!!! Let that sink in son. After you pay for premium gas. And oh..it's a new engine from Ram.....KNOWN for its reliability in all thing new? go ahead child. Buy it. I dare you.

@@Lq32332these are the same guys visiting all the mid-size truck/SUV videos and claiming (6 cylinder or nothing). They actually think they’re making an impact by trolling in KZfaq comments. They’re clueless boomers that think with modern technology we still need at least 8 cylinders, 6 cylinders or a hybrid in order to make great power _and_ be reliable.

We had a 20 Ram with the 5.7L. Was a great truck. I love the sound of a v8, but for everyday driving and for towing, this hurricane would likely be my choice. In a truck, it’s about TORQUE, and the torque is down low in this new engine….in a v8 you have to rev it. And when towing or hauling a load for longer distances, the higher rpm driving with a v8 trying to pull gets tiresome in my opinion. Also, the hemi was THIRSTY!….dont think we ever broke 20mpg ever even with a tailwind.

@@CathyHolton-jh1xv Biden’s only a nightmare to MAGAts who want to go through another pandemic under tRump. Joe Biden is the best leader we’ve had since Obama, no coincidence that he was in the White House under Barack and our Vice President at the time for 2 terms (8 years). This man has been in a leadership position similar to the one he currently holds in our country for over 10+ years. If he or his policies were actual “nightmares” to this nation, you probably wouldn’t be here or alive to wake up from your “nightmare” in 2024 to vote for someone else. Y’all are delusional and live in a fairy tale world. Joe Biden has been doing a great job both as Vice President and now as POTUS. On the flip side, Celebrity Apprentice star Ronald Rump was impeached during his first term as president. It’s literally the difference between *night* and *day.*
