Man I just love the look of the front end on the GMC

Don't forget you're running 3.92 gears on the Ram and 3.23 on the GMC. That will make the difference in fuel economy (and tow capacity). I had a Ram with 3.92s and just recently bought one with the 3.21 gearing, both running the 5.7. Noticed a big difference in fuel mileage and I didn't need the huge tow capacity (still does 8000 lbs. though). A proper fuel mileage comparison should have been with a RAM that had the 3.21 in my opinion. I drove a new GMC before I bought the most recent RAM and I still preferred the RAM interior, but that will be more personal preference I think.

Hard pass on both. $85k to $93k is insane. You would need to knock $40k off the price for these things to be affordable for the average buyer. Pickup trucks are becoming a luxury game. At that price point, it's boycott time. You could pretty much rebuild an older truck from the ground up for that kind of money. New engine, new transmission, upholstery, custom cameras and audio. Everything. Buy used, fix it. Great review gents, complete, informative, and entertaining. Depressing as all hell on the prices, but good video.

WOW … I was not expecting the end fuel mileage result to be like it. I know the price difference is around $7K between the two trucks, but Matt brought up a different perspective at the end of the video by saying that the fuel ⛽️ price difference on this 100 Km test was around $6 cheaper for the GMC. On a monthly basis, the fuel cost difference could be very significant. Something to be aware of if someone is in the market to buy a new truck !!! Great video guys … well done !!!

MPG was all down to gearing ratio, and maybe a bit to do with 10 speed vs 8 speed. But probably 90% due to that gearing.

Finding a Ram GT is a pain in the butt, at least around here. The dealer said most are a special order. I like it as you get the TRX truck without spending nearly 100K! Of course if someone can afford it the supercharged Hemi is amazing.....😬

I like both trucks the are very nice! The panoramic roof and all of the hidden compartment on the Ram he didn’t mention! And it’s like $8000 less than the GMC!

Even with the $6 CDN saved per 100km trip, you would have to travel ~124,000 km with the RAM before the truck prices broke even.

I own a 2015 RAM Sport, I never was a fan of the Rebel front end, that said I am going with the GMC much better front end look !!! Although, I like the GT package on the RAM !!!

If I had the money it would be a hard decision for me between these 2 trucks. And Blue is my favorite colour I would still Pick the Rebel over the GMC. I just prefer the look and the 2023 now also has the full digital gauge cluster.

Awesome review. Love that GMC at4 but I can't afford that. We purchased a 2022 Z71 RST Silverado (refreshed interior). I wish I can afford a ZR2 or an AT4x. Thank you for all the work you, your father and TFLtruck do for us as consumers.

Ram is my for the best! For someone who works at a pre-owned dealership, and has driven every single truck on the lot; Ram al does them in every category for me! I was a Ford guy prior to ever driving my first Ram. I truly believe that the gear ratio of 3.92 is a dramatic difference in Towing. This truck is a beast.

Loving the quality-over-quantity approach. TFL is rarely driving vehicles anymore. Just buying, selling, nissan ads, and looking at nonmoving vehicles.

Those 3.92 gears really hurt the fuel economy in the Ram. I don’t think Ram takes the gear ratio into account when printing the epa fuel economy for trucks which is why there is such a difference between advertised and actual mpg

Thanks for the great videos. Its helping me choose my next truck. The prices are insane for these new vehicles, but they do have a lot of added equipment from factory so it kinda makes sense. Still a bit to high for a 1/2 ton though.

While I do love to see the GMC take it as a GM guy myself, I am curious to see if it made a noticeable difference to use the GMC trip for the Fuel consumption vs the Dodges, would it have helped to close the gap between the 2? I feel like every time I see a GM product on TFLs Ike Guantlet that it's trip computer is almost spot on

Love all your videos! Keep up the great work. If you ask me, you should have millions of subscribers from what kind of videos you produce. Again keep it going!

Crazy prices. I bought my 2020 Rebel for $58K back in August 2020. MSRP was $63K.

Great video, thanks for the info. I have been looking into both of these trucks to see which one will be my next vehicle. Unfortunately the prices locally are not that close. The Rebel GT is currently $71k cdn ($81k before discounts) and the AT4X is $106k cdn. That pays for alot of fuel lol

Another great review guys! Both trucks look very nice but I wouldn't trust either one. Between AFM/DFM/MDS these engines are way too prone to failure. Any money "saved" on gas will be spent on repairs or a whole new engine when the camshaft and lifters crap out around 100k.

AT4X by far

Would have rather seen the at4 instead of at4x. A little closer to the rebel in terms of shocks and price. But appreciate the comparison.

My gripes about this video: No performance testing. No mention of the Rambox storage, which is downright awesome. No comparison of the engines and transmissions work. Ram's revs far more before shifting (annoying and hurts mpg).

That 10-speed is a game changer. I’ve got a 5.3 with it and I get 22 on the highway.

RAM has option digital instrument cluster heads up display and rearview mirror camera. It’s still more affordable.

Hey Steve. Sneaking back home to watch the show. Tell my boss I'm not here 🤣😅 Truck King your Awesome. Hello Howard!!

I ran DuraTracs for a long while. Spent many hours battling psi demons on those dreadful shoes. Let me tell you, there will be a huge difference in ride quality between 40 and 50 psi. I’m impressed you noted the difference in pressures, but bummed you didn’t equalize them.

Sierra is a looker. Cool you guys were filming in my hometown.

I’m a ram guy, but i do appreciate the the gmc product front end. Second choice for me for sure. Gmc has always had a sexy front end especially on the newer trucks

At the end of the day, i think that discrepancy in tow capacity for me personally is worth it over all that little stuff like mpg and the full digital gauge cluster. Also, I'm not sure if the Rebel GT has this, but some Rebels come with the air suspension at each wheel, which I'm sure changes the ride quality.

Great review guys thank you! I think Ram will have the last laugh in the showroom. They'll just do like the current Ram classic. Keep an affordable previous generation model, with small refreshers To attract a more price conscious buyer. They'll sell this new model later down the road as the classic, And make a ton of sales while their tool and die is long paid for. GMC will be constantly changing to battle with Ford and Toyota . The new Ram might not be the better truck, but it will sell better in years to come.

I abhor the start/stop feature on vehicles. I have yet to see anything that says that feature doesn’t put more wear and tear on the battery and starter. That being said, if I’m able to disable it (usually via a button), I can live with it.

GMC for me, better looking and nicer interior

Hmmm, I’ll take….. the blue one. Great job as always.

Thanks!

Both look good, great blue colors on both but Sierra take the cake for sure!!

I was told by a retired Ford engineer that it's not unusual for vehicle mileage computers to be off by 10%.

I’ve been noticing this for YEARS. GM products almost always do better than EPA ratings while competition rarely ever hold up to their EPA rating. Same story with the computers. GM is almost always accurate, Ford is decent, Ram is almost never accurate (showing higher MPG compared to real world testing)

I have a 2014 RAM 1500 Laramie, 3.0l ecodiesel, 170 km. Great truck. Paid 27K CDN 2 years ago. Thinking if every needed it id put a new create engin in and suspention, 10K idk, before buying new.

If your not towing alot the 3.21 gears is great on fuel compared to the 3.93 on the g/t package .

GMC but isnt that the one u should pick being about $10k more in price?? The question is; is the at4 worth $10k more with cylinder deactivation which isnt the most sought-after feature honestly. I would like to see a max payload test and max tow test on both along with a good deep snow/mud test to see if the front locker is really a big advantage. On paper it is but in the real world? Which one rides better under that max payload and max towing scenario? Im probably gonna bet on the ram in that case but i think it will give a better answer to which one is really worth its price tag. Thank you guys for the content you bring, id love to be an automotive journalist!

I'm guessing the jump in towing capacity is due to the 3.92 axle ratio. As well as the drop in fuel economy. The real question is where did that extra 1.7km come from on the GMC trip odometer?

Happy Monday everyone ✌️ Have a beautiful day

I have a 2019 Limited ram 1500 4x4 with 3.92 gears and my mpg's suck. I would get about 13mpg (just put 35's too so should be worse now). Axel ratio matters on these trucks. If you get a 2wd ram with 3.21 gears you will get significantly better mpgs. that is what they don't advertise on the site or even in small print.

Ram rebel doesn’t have its own mpg tag like the gm trucks do. The trailboss and at4 have their own mpg rating. Surprised ram gets away with that. And then on top of that the trucks readout was that far off ?!?! Did you guys use 89 like the ram recommends ? And 91 for the gmc ?

Such a limited test. I’m not quite buying that result. I owned a 2017 GMC Sierra SLE 4x4 5.3 and put on 28k miles averaging 17.2 mpg with 18” wheels and 3.42 gears. I then owned a 2019 Ram Big Horn 4x4 5.7 non-etorque and put on 25k miles averaging 16.3 mpg with 20” wheels and 3.92 gears. I kept track of the mileage and fuel consumption in a spreadsheet along with the trip computer mpg. The computer in both trucks was off by 0.5-1.0 mpg on average and made both look better than they really were overall.

I’d probably go with the ram but with the V-6, it’s incredible on fuel, my buddy an I went hunting with close to half the driving off road we got 12L/100 km… half off road half highway, I own a 2015 silverado and the transmission is pure shit, the new ones are even worse, this is why I’d go with the Ram, although for that price I’ll drive my 2015…

11:15 - "...and we even hit a school bus" 😮 I guess that means something else in Canadian. Nice comparison video.

1. GM has better highway gearing and a 10 speed. In addition cylinder deactivation on GM 2. No idea why either truck is running so high PSI in tires. Way too high, usually mid 30s is recommended. 3. Vastly different PSI makes your tire diameter different thus changes mileage. 4. Nice review boys

air pressure should of been equal. 10psi will make a big difference in milage. anyways good video!

Awesome video...I lke The Ram 1500 Rebel GT the best

The Multi-matic offroad system makes more sense for your snowy winter roads.

I am a diehard Ford guy, but both of these trucks are sharp!

Thank God I bought a new Ram Built to Serve Edition in 2020 for a measly $38000 .

AT4X no question. Better off-roader and more luxurious.

Suggestion if you don't mind. When doing exhaust sound clips, if doing when parked, can you at least let the engine come down from a high idle to normal idle level? Or not do it the moment it starts up. There is a difference in exhaust note once the engine isn't on initial startup. Another nice thing would be if you could somehow film the exhaust sound under load like taking off from a start. Even just going through the 1st gear. They sound much different under load then just free revving in park. It seems very few reviewers do this, and it would be nice way to differentiate yourselves by doing this. 🙂 Great job on the review otherwise.👍

RAM has available air suspension..a game changer and an incredible sound system. It also has the rear camera mirror as an option. You compared a loaded AT4X with a Minimal RAM ...

Way too expensive for a depreciation asset.

If I were to buy a ram it'd be this model. I prefer the GMC though.

Hey guys I'm a big GMC Chevy fan and I bet if you had the 5.3 l it would have done 20MPG or better hopefully you do a test on the new 3.0 Duarmax people are saying 25 to 30 MPG God-bless you guys loved the videos

Question: Were you using the 89 octane fuel the Ram 1500 calls for?

Hate paddle shifters, my hands are big and they're in the way for holding the wheel. I can design a wheel setup better with paddles that doesn't interfere with people with larger hands. Also, the damn thing isn't a Ferrari, so we don't need paddle shifters ever

On looks alone, it's definitely the Ram Rebel all day, any day. I guess if you have the money for either you might as well go big, but both come at what I call house money. Hard pass on any truck over 40 grand for me

The AT4x looks the best to me.... Yet I must say those are to great trucks....

Are them tow hooks real ??? I heard some are just for looks !!!!

I'd takethe GMC🔥🔥👍🏾👍🏾

tHx Guys 🙂

These 2 trucks are way over my pocket book limitations, but if I wake up in the morning and either is sitting in my driveway I wouldn’t in the slightest be disappointed and I’m a Ford guy, on looks my heart would go RAM, but my head would say GMC, probably a lil more reliable over the years, their both beautiful and expensive, I’ve been looking at those tiny Japanese Kei trucks, around 7 grand, 650 cc, 4 WD, top speed around 55 just for in town and to keep miles off my 2017 F150, new trucks are just way out of working and retired folks reach now days.

Denali ultimate and limited are gorgeous top of the line trucks but the interior is top notch class. And these off road oriented trucks are the present and the future (to hell with electric ⚡)

The seats in the gmc are terrible and small. I drove 3 hours in one and it was the most uncomfortable ride in these tiny hard seats.

My favorite color blue

395 hp for the 5.7 Hemi

love the look of both, but they seem more like over complicated toys then trucks ... and with a hefty price tag on each ...

Snow still ? It’s 80 and the birds are chirping in Texas.

Gmc for me. I Gotta give RAM a thumbs up for finally putting a real shifter back in it!

The axle ratio on the Ram is lower, so I assumed it would be harder on fuel

It's needs to be said that you can't Compare the Bilstiens on the RAM to the DSSVs. The Bilstiens that come on the RAM are 4600 series. Litte better than Monroe shocks.

The GM 6.2 requires premium fuel, the Ram 5.7 recommends 89 for optimum performance but can run 87 too. Having owned a 2019 for 4 years now and probably driving the same country spots as you (highway 400, north of Toronto etc), I have zero issues getting > 22 MPG and many times above 24 MPG too. They're both good trucks, at the end of the day (since I'm not brand loyal in the slightest) my decision is based on value; what do you get for what do you pay, and Ram has always offered more for less. GMC pricing is completely bonkers. Also that 50 psi in the ram is way too high no doubt that's the issue as the coil suspension in the ram drives like an SUV and the leaf springs have more of that truck like side-skipping rear-end feel.

No better tire than a Duratrac.

I drive them both. The Rebel is more comfortable over the AT4X if the Rebel has Air Suspension. The one from the test doesn’t have it. Regarding the fuel consumption the injection on the 6.2 is telling the better numbers

GMC looks so much better it is not even funny.

I think they are both great looking trucks, I also think they are prohibitively expensive, so I wouldn't buy either one of them. However, if you were to let me pick one of the two for free, I would rather have the GMC.

Pick the GMC if you’re are corporate dad with a boat. Pick the Rebel if you are a bit more into having fun and don’t necessarily wear kaki pants to work.

People come on think!!...3:92's compared to 3:23's with everything else equal that's going to make a huge difference in the fuel economy right there...if the Ram had the 3:31's they'd be damn near dead on equal...love both these trucks however so just pick you favorite and motor on down the road.

Stop start does nothing for efficiency imo. Dumbest feature in a long time manufacturers have put in

Gm always had better mpg. Gmc looks better too

You can blame the rough ride on the Ram on the 10 ply duratracs, every other half ton comes with a lower ply rating than the rams. Running a 35psi tire vs a 55psi tire is a huge difference

The GMC looks better. The MPG ratings are irrelevant based on the fact they ate both pigs. 2mpg difference beteeen these 2 trucks means nothing in the big picture

Am I missing something or did everyone get a raise? I do well for myself but could never justify that much debt on a depreciating asset

The AT4 would be a better comparison vs the Rebel. Neither Ram nor Ford has an AT4X competitor and GM doesn't have a TRX/Raptor competitor, so it's really like apples and oranges trying to compare models when an equivalent doesn't exist. If you add the 6.2L engine and a custom exhaust to a loaded out AT4, then you would be almost exact on pricing with a loaded Rebel GT (maybe even cheaper for the Rebel). The design of the AT4X would be more equal to an offroad version of the Ram 1500 Limited if that existed. The rebel is nice, but it's not at the same level of styling as the Ram 1500 Limited. The AT4X is similar in style and build as the Denali Ultimate, and the Ram 1500 Limited can go to toe to toe against the Denali Ultimate, but there is a significant price premium for the Denali Ultimate over the Limited, so that's a significant consideration.

I don't like the digital gages. But, to each their own.

The axle ratio makes a huge difference Compared the same to be fair

manual says you can run 87 for the 6.2

Ramthe best-looking truck made.

The GMC looks nicer but I believe I'd take the F150 Lightning. Just as long as its not going catch fire or get bricked by an Electrify America charger.

The price is bonkers.

It's why I got rid of my 21 ram. My fuel mileage was pitiful.

GMC for sure!

I must be brainwashed ram, the rams interior looks way better. 50 psi air pressure vs 40 makes a bunch of difference on ride. Digital gauge clusters look cheap in my opinion, i think its a downgrade. No one talks about the ram boxes, they are game changer. The fuel economy is very impressive on the GM and the front end looks better too. The GM was more money too, and those options can be added to the ram for the same price. I can understand why they picked the GM but they overlooked alot on the ram. Like the pano sunroof. And the mopar exhaust.

the rear end ratio is the culprit.....sometimes the Ram comes close to the tire size but not quite while the GMC is more precise........my Ram is close but not accurate and not all odometers are accurate...and then the tires are not what the size says.... ie.. all 33's are not equal in diameter measurements in different makes and so forth. Between the two scenarios you'll find variances. And the worst is the tire pressure. two tires , same make and size with one pressure of 60psi and the other with 25psi on same vehicle...one complete revolution with both and the 60psi will travel further..try it....
