Air brakes do not determine whether or not a CDL is required…. GVWR does. You can rent a truck from Penske with air brakes and not need a CDL. (Just an example).

Nice to see a real review from someone who actually owns one. I am planning on building a tiny house on a 48' gooseneck trailer, and this truck is what I have been considering buying to pull the house. I like that this truck is still small enough to be driven stand alone

Man Discovery Channel should do a show about cars, bykes and trucks and hire you as host. U slay everytime!

The Hauler looks amazing Griffin 😊 I love this video I can't wait to see more updates on the Ratrod

I literally have no use for a truck this big….but now I want one! Just need to rob a bank first I think.

I really enjoyed the presentation!!! You're on the right track!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🚀🚀🚀🚀

Always nice watching these videos and seeing how much knowledge you know bout these vehicles. Super cool n glad to see you are posting more. I'm tryna keep up. The air horn was my favorite part!

5th wheel is really the way to go on a trailer that size compared to a bumper pull riding on a ball hitch. That's a wiggly nightmare on a windy day and trucks going by will try to suck you over into their lane as they pass by in the fast lane. Way more stable and comfortable drive with a 5th wheel.

Great video Griffin - Thanks for the review! If your ever on I-40 driving through Oklahoma, drop by the factory and say hi to the guys who built your truck!

I just purchased a 2022 Freightliner M2 106 Sport Chassis with air brakes installed by the privious owner and I asked my sales guy, doi I need a CDL to operate my personal use or "Not for Hire" Sport Chassis and he stated I do not need a CDL to operate my SC with air brakes? I live in MN not sure if that make a differnece. Also, prices must have been much higher a year ago, you can purchase a brand new well appointed SC right now for $190K-$220K.

Good review Griffin. I feel you on the rattles too lol

great video

I came from Eddie’s chamnel…I subbed.

CDL & air brake endorsements vary from state to state. In the state I live in no CDL is required if you register the truck as a RV. You can drive a class 8 without a CDL as long as it is registered as an RV. I know Texas requires an air brake endorsement.

That's crazy you used to have to stop every 30 to 40 minutes to fill up your RAM pulling your trailer lol when I'm on a long trip pulling my trailer having to stop every 3 hours as a pain in the ass I couldn't imagine making 10 stops in that time

It is a hassle insuring them but there more like between $160 and $210,000 new with full options on the East Coast here the body never changed from 05 to present nice medium duty trucks

Air brake does not equate to needing a CDL. Anyone can rent a 26’ truck from Penske or wherever, they’ll have air brakes. CDL is about weight. 26000 lbs or above is commercial. Worth knowing if you plan to get on the highway: don’t get over that weight in a rental if you aren’t commercially licensed, because if you hit a weight station, a state police officer will ruin your day.

Everything that was a problem for u on this truck I don't mind at all seems awesome

Farm & City insurance in Iowa. They will underwriter the med duty trucks and also hat's for good price

The hydraulic disk brakes are not as good as air brakes. If you using it a lot and tow a heavy load get the air brakes! I have driven both.

Honestly something I could see my brother buying something like this

Great Vid

It's not the motor causing the rattle those m2s are just cheap. I loved them as a semi truck though

I need one 😁 soo cool dude

Damn your tall I stood next to it didn’t even reach the mirrors

👌👌👌👍🏼

How smooth is the steering when driving ? Mine seems loose a bit compared to newer ram.

Can I do non CDL with a truck like this with a 35+5 trailer

I own a trucking business with my dad. The insurance is insane, I got quoted 50k 😅How much did you end paying?

The interior is kind of junk on these for how much they want for one. Freightliner isn't known to be the best there anyway compared to say, Paccar. Heavier duty rigs though compared to a big 3 1-ton. IMO not practical enough for every day use compared to a pickup and you rarely see anybody trucking or hot-shotting with one. They're kind of just luxury toys for guys who want to haul their big 5th wheel or pony trailer in style.

Great video. Where did you end up finding this truck? There's a company in Indiana that pretty much sells only these, but the prices seem a bit high. We haul a 40' flatbed trailer with a 2020 F-450 and we're looking at one of these instead, but not super easy to find.

Do you need a cdl to drive this truck

You had to stop every 30 to 40 minutes in the Ram to fuel up? I seriously doubt that. I can drive for five hours in my F350 pulling a 16,500 pound trailer before having to stop for fuel.

How much are your payment monthly

6:12 whaaattt?? 😂😂 You sure about that??

No CDL required on these trucks.

How long is the delivery time for a truck like this? If you ordered it from new

not the drive through 😂

If you are in a wind and rain storm and continue to drive 75 mph without slowing down, you are endangering yourself as well as your family and others on the road. Please slow down under these conditions.

air horn is way too funny

It’s a work truck. Treat it that way.

Nice video BUTTTTTT and thats a big BUTT. You Do Not Have to have a CDL because a truck has air brakes. The issue for CDL is the GVWR. It has nothing to do with air vs hydraulic brakes. Google it, don't take my word for it.

Goodness this video seems to be filled with questionable/misleading information. I’m not sure if you just threw out numbers to increase views or what but you should really make an effort to be at least somewhat accurate. I was just looking at these at NFR in Vegas last week and brand new they were selling between $189k and $229k, you claimed $300-350k. You absolutely do not need a cdl just because they have air breaks yet you claim you do. You can find them used and just a few years old with under 50k miles all day long for $125-150k yet you claimed way higher! You claimed you liked driving these way more because in your ram you had to fill up every 30-40 minutes. I have a f350 with a 36 gallon fuel tank and tow a 16k trailer and can go 4-5 hours before I need fuel! So either your getting a 1 mile a gallon in fuel, you have a 4 gallon fuel tank in your truck or you just flat out don’t know what the heck you’re talking about.

Some of his answers are not correct

The statement about "gas mileage" pretty much says it all about your ability to make a review on this unit...LMFAO

you dont need a cdl for air brakes i have a maryland class a which says "all non comm vehicles" get it right chump
