could he actually not speak English then? i started watching a few years ago and he wasnt around much

yeah i know this is old but i am wondering whats happening right now lol. And the other guys speaks Russian cool.

Same here, wondering if this was just a shtick

@@josephc3249 of course its a schtick. Hes responding to question in English you DOLT !!!

What a stupid video. If you need a truck to tow a lot you need at V8 or diesel no matter that manufacturer. This doofus spend most of the video hookup the damn boat/trailer! I give this 5 Minutes of SHAME, not FAME!

No shit right? 🤦‍♂️

@@chipweingart5204 not every needs a V8

@Devin Skylar begone bot

@Jad Baylor your also a bot

I bought this truck because of its room in the cab. The Colorado was just to small. So the ram seemed best. I am not brand loyal, just wanted more arm room in a rig and if needed a little towing.

Dan Krueger also the Colorado extended cab is ridiculous no front split bench and only 2 seats in the back this ram can seat 6! 7 if you try to squeeze 4 in the back lol

B Murray but like in my case, I wanted to be able to tow just over 4,000 lbs, plus carry my Sportster with my wife two dogs and all our stuff for a trip. We have been all over the New England states, up state N.Y. down to Fla and thought The Smokey Mountains. With a 2016 Colorado ext cab Z71,V6 4x4. Now if you need passenger space, yes by all means the Ram is one choice, but the Colorado has a higher load capacity, plus weighs at least 1,500 lbs less! I can tow my travel trailer, carry my bike with the wife and the dogs and loads of stuff, to go over a Cat Scale at a hair under 10,000 GCW! In a truck rated for 12,000 GCVWR. We get 14-15 on the flats and 10-12 mpg in the mountains, but while empty just cruising around we get 25 hyw and 19 city. All while being able to definitely out excel any V6 Ram, or any other N/A V6 truck out there! Loaded or empty! Plus off road the Colorado has a smaller overall profile, plus is a lot lighter at 4,400lbs than a Ram at 5,900 lbs! that will be better in any off road situations! If space for four passengers are important, I would have bought the Crew Cab! That you can get with a diesel! Granted though you can get a Ram diesel Crew Cab 4x4 for less money, but if you were to option it out like what the Colorado comes with the diesel option and the level of equipment needed to get the diesel, the Ram will cost more! But yes will have more pass. room than the Colorado. However the Colorado will still be rated to carry more weight, but not quite tow as much, but in the fine print, the Ram is not able to tow at its top tow rating, with five adult passengers, as it will be over weight! So all that said the Ram is a better passenger vehicle! But for a couple with a need for mileage and capacity to carry and tow? The Colorado is better!

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bs5mgryJytO4qHk.html they say here

Yeah, same thing I was wondering 3:21 per J1 4,150 and 3:55 5,850. I'm wiling to bet they had the 3:21 - there was a mix up with rear specs on window stickers in 2013. I picked up a used 2013 in 2016 with 10k miles. 2018 thinking about maybe running the 20's - the service manager didn't even realize they were running 20's with the 3.6L or that they put the 3.6l in a Rebel with 3:92 Needless to say, his eyes bulged, thinking in the back of head a 3.6L doing all that. The other spoofs about the 2013 it has the 8HP45 trans. 2014 they dropped the improved 845RE, they added a couple more clutches, another spring for better tranny flow, smother shifts. 8HP45 is rated for 330lbs of torque, but I always wonder why they added the extra clutches. Of course you won't get this info from the steelership. So when I run my 20's, I knock 1,000lbs off my towing, just to be safe. And here, were supposed to get a good idea of what these trucks can do - and once again half ars'd if that. I still have mine at 45k - I'm impressed I pass both the bank and gas stations. Ticks me off about the 2019's your forced to get that start stop with the 3.6L.

I have the same thing any updates?

It does look scary. But they do run hot by design. The newer ones have recalibrated gauges. Mine rarely goes ever so slightly over half even towing a few thousand pounds, and when it does spike the fan comes on, and the temp pulls right back down. That truck probably got into the upper 230's which is perfectly safe for a pentastar , but was probably about start going down as the fan did its job.

I have the 2018 3.6L with the 3.55 rear end. What is your experience with towing with this configuration of truck?

@@matthewmetzger2607 i haven't really towed anything big with it. Over all it is just a lot more responsive then with the 3.21 gears

I have a 17 with the hemi and 3.21. Plenty of power for what I do and still get roughly 18mpg on the highway

yep, the pentastars run hot, engineered that way, they recalibrated the guage on the newer ones so people didn't worry as much, my 2018 guage is just over halfway when fan kicks on at 228 degrees, the truck in this test was probably at or just under that, the fans kick on and keep temp is designed range, they are not prone to overheating

Nah, all the pentastars run hot.its fine

You can’t go wrong with a Toyota

they run hot by design, they recalibrated the gauges on the newer ones so people wouldn't freak out. it's normal for these engines when run hard to hit 240's before fans kick on to high speed and pulls the temps down, lots of info about this on ram and jeep forums. still a little unnerving to see on my digital display when it creeps up into the 230's

@@robkenna2795 they do run warm but when the fan kicks on they are fine. This is a dumb video. I bet the RAM tested has a 3:21 axel and it does not tow as good as the 3:55 ratio. I know I have a Ram with the 3:55 and it tows just as good as my 2007 F150 with the 5.4 v8.

@@mikel.laughridge9480 yep i got 3.55 in mine. Strong little engine

3.55 Rear end?

I. Have. 2017. quad cab. i. love. thé. v6. i. been. geting 27. mpg

Anywhere north of the mason dixon its pretty much standad equipment

Jose Jimenez yeah if you can find the eco diesel

+Mark Murarescu the one in my pic is my old truck, its a 4.7 v8

it's also faster than your dad's 2012 Hemi

Danny Hansen and leaks more oil too?

I just bought the 3.6 2018 I did the zero to 60 while empty and I was very very surprised that in all three tries it ran 8 flat!! Point being they'd be hard-pressed to find very few truck's that will run 0 to 60 and 8 Seconds?

Josephuskikit but no v8 roar

3.55 am sure it had the 6 speed transmission

Nope. 3.21/8 speed. The Pentastar V6 in the Rams was never made with anything but the 8 speed. And that is the shiftpoint of the 8speed with 3.21 gears.

You're right!

Ya and that worries me

yes, this is a common problem with the 3.6. Many have been told by the dealer service department that it is normal while one guy in the furum said he cracked a head. It's believed by many that the active grill shutters are the problem. There is a video on youtube of a guy who disconnected the grill shutters and the problem stopped.

+redd7188 my dad has one, but it's his wife's daily driver, and the use it for road trips. it does get 26+ mph on the highway, but he says he'll never even put a hitch in the receiver. It simply has no guts.

pfcjking1​ spot on dear sir. I purchased a new one a little over a year ago and I did not realize how weak the engine is. I only haul butts in the passenger seats and a few odds and ends in the box. Even with the 3.55 it can only handle about 5000 to 6000 I don't trust hooking anything up to it.

The 2012 hemi makes 390hp and 407 lb feet of torque. The v6 is nowhere close to that

this v6 makes more power than the 1994 v10 it only had 300 hp but lots of torque

DevineCrimsonThundernot the Hemi ' it has almost the same output has the 4.7 V8 that was offered back in 2012

has more hp than 1994 v 10

yes it was like a diesel

yeah its a stupid unfair test.

Ahhh.... no. 😂

7,500 with a 3.55 gear ratio.

We weighed it on a CAT scale. Dry boat is about 4,000 lbs, but with fuel, gear, accessories, and trailer -- it's 5,740 lbs all together.

+The Fast Lane Truck --- What is the axle ratio? Does this have the 3.55? What is the transmission? Does it have the 8-speed? This video is worthless without this information.

+yogiyoda the truck is a 2013 ST 3.6 so it's a 6 speed, I think it's a 3.73, if not it would have to be a 3.21.

+Red Chevy The 8 speed was an option in the 2013. How do you know this truck didn't have it?

+AJ H Thanks. If anyone knows how the 8 speed would tow 4,000 to 5,000 lbs, please let me know.

I agree with this statement. Comapring a big V8 invinity to a v6 Ram truck is like comaring an Cummins 2500 to the Infinity. Different truck for different purposes. The v6 Ram is nice if you drive it to work everyday and want good MPG and ability to tow small things. Buy the truck you need for your lifesyle.

Its made of solid iron tuning lol

am sure this truck was the 6 speed

Not in 13' the standard transmission was the 6 speed I had a big horn hemi with a 6 speed.

I know that's what I said the V6 don't come with a 6-speed only the Hemi

absolutely not

this does have the 8 speed

doubtful

Jeremy Nesom the HP only has 1000 RPM between gears at Max RPM so that is clearly not the 8-speed

Jeremy Nesom yeah so someone who is absolutely Clueless when I have more experience with this truck then anyone

Simply activating the tow function on the truck alters the shift patterns to not burn up your transmission. Read your owners manual it’s pretty informative.

chris kanne Funny my friend has tried everything to get heat in the winter with his HEMI.......I will go for the 3.6 I live in POLAR CANADA.

BRUCE LEE Best of luck my friend.

chris kanne Show me complaints about the 3.6 V6 that is popular in many vehicles.

BRUCE LEE The problems I had with the engine overheating were when sitting in traffic, driving on mountain grades, and when towing 2,000-3,000 pounds. We are talking 240 degrees or so. The dealer tried to change the fans, change the thermostat, and they re-flashed the computer. The problems continued. The dealer confirmed that there were definitely issues but could not figure out how to fix it. In my research on Chrysler and RAM forums and multiple web browser searches I found multiple different complaints about overheating and the heads warping. I think I was probably having the same problems from would I could figure out. I feel it is an issue that comes up but not often enough for a recall. You'll probably be fine with the Pentastar but the Hemi is just so much more truck for just a little more money in my opinion. The 8 speed is the biggest advantage for both of them when it comes to the MPG's.

chris kanne I changed my mind after reading about your agony with the 3.6. I found others with similar issues.Now I have to decide if I can trust a F150 2.7 turbo or if I should go HEMI ? Turbos are not cheap to fix.WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON Turbo versus Hemi ???

@0778drz110 This reminds me of the Toyota Tacomas! Toyota, for the post-2014 model year Tacomas, IIRC, downgraded to a 3.5 V6, LOL. The 3.5 V6 requires more RPMs just to reach its max torque, and still be a bit behind the Toyota 4.0 V6 at a lower RPM! Only 265 lb/ft., while at least 266 lb/ft., at a lower RPM for the 4.0! That's a slap in the face for Tacoma lovers!

take it up the what?

In a "full size" like a half ton like this oh yeah. But even in the mid size trucks they are introducing the diesel's and it just makes sense! I didn't buy a truck because i wanted 40 mpg

Ian P I am only guessing but I see all trucks going to natural gas in the future. It is cheaper to operate and much cleaner. Budweiser has already started replacing their big rig diesels with natural gas. www.forbes.com/sites/christopherhelman/2014/09/09/budweiser-puts-its-diesel-trucks-out-to-pasture-switches-to-natural-gas/

leadnsteel People think v6s are more fuel efficient. That is until they are placed into a truck and tuned accordingly. I'm quite fond of Chrysler's six cylinder engines. They're reliable and have good power. But I'd rather have a v8. However, I would love a slant six. I don't like Ford's Ecoboost. Just make a better v8. Chrysler did. When they redid the Ram in 1994, all the engines improved in power, performance, and fuel economy. A 1992 5.9l v8 might get 12-15 mpg on the highway, but a 1995 could see 16-20 mpg. 6 cylinder engines are just a trend. Hell, some v12s get 20 or better on the highway. The v8 will rise again.

your right. smaller engine will need more hp to move a towing while a v8 will use less hp to move a trailer

The only engines that should be in trucks are inline 6's. You simply cannot get the same low-end torque, simplicity of design, and longevity out of a V8, no matter what. There is a reason why Ford's 300 i6 is rated Ward's 4th best engine of all time, and the Cummins 12v inline 6 turbo diesel in ranked number 7. If you wanna go fast, buy a V8, they sell them in sports cars. If you plan to work/tow at all with a truck though, it's gotta be inline 6. Just my opinion lol.

Michael Reece For 1 the temperature gauge never even reached 3/4? # two that motor is one of the most bulletproof Motors on the market. They test that motor running it at 6500 RPMs for 24 frickin hours Non-Stop!

george50 Nah... It has a ZF 8 speed. I THINK... could be wrong. If it is it's one of the best transmissions in the world. Same trans is behind engines making WAY more power. Mercedes, Rolls Royce, all run ZF units. It seemed to me this particular truck has a really tall axle ratio... also this was a tradesman truck model.. a BASE. I think they run tall gears because reality is most tradesman construction workers are not really putting that much weight in it or behind it. Just regular stuff inthe bed, and lots of abuse.. Good basic work truck.

Actually it's nice if you don't load it too much , it gets 25mpg with 8 speed these days. So it's for people who want to get big truck cheaper with better mpg if they just use for small house use.

Yeah they should have compared it to a chevy 4.3 v6

i have another make service truck leaking oil alot, 06 an 13 Rams never leaked on me yet, i guess we all have to get little lucky

tallll70 If it takes "luck" I'll stick with Toyotas.

Have fun when your brakes shit out @ the 10 year mark.
