I recently did a Raptor wheel swap on my F-150 (w/ column shift) and love even more to have the shift paddles right at my finger tips. Have noticed I now drive more with hands at 9 & 3 instead of before kinda going one handed on the wheel.

@@ALMX5DP I drove a rental camry with paddle shifters and I developed the same habit. Now every time I drive the Stinger, I'm at 9 and 3 and constantly clicking the paddles.

@@CACressida yeah surprisingly addictive, and I think promotes good driving habits to boot. Shame the Stinger is being discontinued, it's a pretty awesome car. Keep that thing as long as you can.

I own the ram and the round dial sucks balls. I agree with how you talk about resting your hand on the old style shifter. . Lol

I think the RAM needs paddle shifters. I could live with the rotary to select D/R/N.

New ram🤣 you mean 14yr old ram🤣

I was between Dodge, Ford, and Toyota and went with the Tundra. The prices of Ford and Dodge are absolutely insane - they wanted $15-20k more than the tundra. Their lots also had 50+ trucks sitting and Toyota had 6 tundras. I think they’re all awesome but the American dealerships can eat shit. Great trucks but theyre killing themselves with the markups

​@@atg1338I thought ram actually has a new generation. Isn't it just the ram classic that's basically last gen?

@@tsmith4719 I'm talking drivetrain.... and it's basically looks the same for ten yrs

SAME!

Sucks getting old. LOL

There are millions of Chevy truck owners who have zero problems. The ones that do have problems are always going to post on the Internet.

Agreed. I have a '17 Ecodiesel RAM (They've had problems with this engine) that has never been in the shop--112k miles. Fuel economy 26 round town, 27 ((at 75 moh), 31-32 when driving 60-65. Only problem--likes a new set of sneakers every 35k and diesel fuel price sucks. Very comfortable.

You got that right!

keep the 16.

Do you have a titan ? How long are they reliable

It's crazy how good the fiat truck got. I agree the tundra is the best one of the bunch. I'd take a 10year old toyota over anything made today. Especially at today's stupid prices.

Ugliest truck on the road however.

Amen

@@googleaccount2637 bring back the good old fashioned column shifter

@@googleaccount2637 or say make the column shifters great again lol

I'd take the reliability of the ram over the 3.5. My 3.5 f150 had so many problems. They actually both got about the same fuel mileage.

My pleasure!!

Basically impossible to compare all the same trims for all the brands. Just doesn’t happen.

@Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk I think it is more possible than in this video, but a good solution is to mention and explain your point in the video. Still, nice work.

Exactly! This comparison isn't a comparison at alll

I’m on my third Toyota truck from the 80’s SR5…2007 Tacoma..now 2020 Tundra. I waste money on extended warranty’s with Toyota. Had a Chevy and two Fords in between and had to get rid of them for all the issues and needed every bit of those extended warranty’s. The only thing that ever failed on the SR5 was the water pump at 150k. The Tacoma driver side wheel bearing at 160k. 3 yrs and 35k on the Tundra…nothing.

The Tundra is a compete redesign. Nobody knows it’s reliability rating yet airhead.

@@liamcarp7113Literally everything has been overhauled for the better. It’s best overall balance and best bang for your buck. Minor issue aside that often comes with a brand new generation, the 3rd Gen tundra is just a bulletproof as the previous gen.

@@liamcarp7113 correct...but just about every Toyota is amazing when it comes to reliability...everyone is assuming this will be no different. It's not about the truck, it's about the company that makes them...

@@liamcarp7113 they are working with the perceived reliability of the tundra, all new truck, all new problems

For sure the 3.0 is amazing.

I can't believe how much that F150 cost. There is a dealer here that has 3 of them and they are all $65k think one is $68k. The paint scheme is hideous I think and the cloth interior and all and nearly $70k. I bought a GMC Denali Ultimate this past week and it was only $14k more and what is even stranger is its a Duramax. I am used to diesels being $10k or so more expensive and I got $1500 off for it being the Duramax. Its pearl white too that was $1100 extra had a few other things added just didn't have the supercruise that would have been $3500 more. Still has adaptive cruise but that is standard I believe with the Ultimate.

After twelve years, the ecoboost engines are tried and true at this point, and put out amazing real-world power. The 5.7 is underpowered, and the rear coils ruin the towing experience on the ram over around 6.5k lbs.. In my opinion, the ram is the best looking truck in the line up, but it's time to get with the times on powertrains, and suspension (ford bolted control arms with rear leafs wins over chevy stamped control arms and ram rear coils). Allison transmissions available in chevy 1500's and massive power available in Ford ecoboost engines has ram needing something more than awesome styling.

I think eventually everyone will go with coil rear suspension just a matter of time just like everyone going twin turbo v6

@@skellington2000 Yeah, the ford 5.0 in the f150 and the chevy 5.3 are also underpowered. I just responded to the original comment which suggested that the 5.7 is a great, tried and true motor when it may be tried and true, but it's not great. At this point, if you're considering a 1/2-ton truck to pull anything of consequence, the 5.7 with rear coils just isn't a great option. Sure, the naturally aspirated, small v8's in fords and Chevys aren't good either, but at least the back ends on those don't booty shake all over the road like the coils on the rams. People say it's subjective, and to some degree it is, but ram 1500's with the rear coils and 5.7's are really some of the worst with a 6.5k+-lb trailer behind them. That said, from a power only perspective, the 5.0 and 5.3 are both pretty terrible compared to the ecoboosts and 6.0-6.2's, but at least the handling is there under a tow load or pay load where it's just not with those coil springs..

One more quick point: The ford 2.7 will pull significantly better than the ford 5.0 (I don't know how, but it does). And the 2.7 is a cheaper option than the 5.0. In order to get the same pulling power as a 2.7 out of a chevy or a ram, you have to pay a lot extra for the bigger engines.

@@swampgumpharpy7977 I have a 2020 RAM REBEL with 5.7 Hemi and ZF 8 speed transmission, also with 4 corner air suspension, and it pulls my 27 ft travel trailer just fine !

This guy is a truck salesmen. He will sit and tell you how much better one truck is then another but will pick the fallapart Ford as his favorite because it has nice seats. Even though we know ford's are unreliable. Hell this guy can't even figure out what fuel he needs in his chevy.

It comes down to more features. Automakers can’t make the truck stronger because then a half-ton moves into the 3/4 ton weight class. So, they have to keep the curb weight the same while making the chassis stronger while also accounting for more features aka weight in the truck. It is a tough balancing game. As you saw, the Ram 1500 had the worst payload rating because it had the most features. The XLT had the best with less features and cloth seats.

@@Pickuptrucktalk I understand the argument about the segments - but there's a lack of truth in advertising (not surprising). Every year the manufacturers put out higher and higher towing capacity for the 1/2 ton segment, but in reality it can't tow that if it can't carry the hitch weight and normal size American people. I would love to see some regulation regarding advertising that requires them to actually advertise what it can tow with a default allowance of 150lbs per seating position in the vehicle plus 500lb in the bed pre-hitch. I'd like to see the KZfaqrs like yourself, TFL Truck, Truck King, etc. take them to task on a regular basis on this subject. Kind of like you did Ford on the rust. One other note .. I should be able to equip a capable 4 wheel drive with tow package and not be locked out of options for one or the other - again, I don't think the truck manufacturers understand what is going on in the RV world - overlanding, boon docking, etc. People need capable trucks to get them into remote places and back out. Appreciate your channel.

The limited trim also has a lower payload. The SR5 typically has 1870-2000lbs and can be equipped with an air ride suspension

If you put in a claim with customer service they will listen to your concern. I’m satisfied how resolved my small issue.

They all have crap paint underneath the stupid clearcoat, so I don’t know why you think the Ford there’s any worse than Toyota sucks too

I keep trying to sell it and then there’s one more video to do. Ugh!

How do you like the Tremor so far? I'm looking at the F-150 Tremor (2021-2023) and would love some real world info on it. How's the gas mileage for you? How's the every day ride, if it's a daily driver? Anything you don't like after having it, even if it's not a major gripe?

Dont buy Ford. F150’s are junk. If you want a good truck and the best truck in the market get a RAM.

@@csmatrix007 I don't have it yet and as of this morning I won't be taking delivery. The monroney sticker just became available on Ford's order tracking site and there were additional deletes of standard equipment (advanced security pack, auto start/stop, heated steering wheel, bed camera). It was too much for me to stomach considering the $75k sticker (I negotiated $68k though) to take delivery. I really prefer the Ford and will wait this out awhile or consider the RAM and GMC again. Maybe @TimEsterdahl has an opinion on Ford's dismal supply chain management but it seems CEO Farley should have long since been fired. Non of the other big truck manufacturers have these deletes.

@@REBooner30 I appreciate the info. I've found a few nearby and they're still quite expensive used. Might just toss some $$ into a few repairs in our current vehicles and wait a while longer. Really like the feature sets and look of this truck tho. Thanks again.

@@csmatrix007 If you're willing to travel Granger Ford in Des Moines, IA will sell you a custom ordered truck at 3% below invoice. Ask for Chip Giles. No funny business and a great guy to work with remotely. Very responsive and big savings. *I have no interest in Granger, just a guy in CA who ordered a truck from Chip and once Ford figures its $hit out I'll order again if I can wait for that to happen.

Yea that guy that complained isn’t very bright..

Yea, I don’t understand why they threw XLT “a work truck” in with these others.

Yeah exactly and Tim doesn't say anything about hey this truck can be ordered with that option also. He just lets the guys think the ram is so much better

The last 2 years of reliability videos I’ve done put the Ram 1500 at the top. They have turned a big corner on reliability.

@@Pickuptrucktalk Thanks Tim. Guess I'll have to re-visit my RAM dealer.

I don't know about the last year or 2 year models but I have seen lots of blown head gaskets and oil pump issues besides all the electrical issues. I have a buddy that bought one new a few years ago and a month or 2 after we got it we took a road trip up to Charlotte in it and on the way home to SC 5 hours southeast basically the headlights quit working. His stereo would quit the dealer replaced that at least once I know of. In less then 6 months it went back total piece of shit that truck was. I have seen others that had issues with the lights strobing or just quit working like his too. I really like the look of them and the interior is really nice. So I bought a Denali Ultimate lol I know one of the mechanics that used to work for us on and off was a Dodge nut. He didn't have all that much money and my next door neighbor bought a new truck so I bought his Ram from him and sold it to Vinny for $100 over what I had in it. It was a nice truck just a stripped down 2wd 4.7 but it was nice for what it was. He took my trailer when I was out of town and went to VA I guess to pick something up and blew the tires out on my trailer somehow and blew the engine up in that Ram. Then I bought another for him from a local bank that is constantly selling repos. That truck needed a new ECU in 6 months or less of him having it. Those were both 06-10 trucks but still from what I have seen I wouldn't buy one

I had a 2014 Ram for 9 years. Most reliable truck I've ever owned. I recently traded it in for a 2020 Ram 1500 4x4. The only reason for trading it in was i needed 4 wheel drive.

@@Pickuptrucktalk you’re not going to see long-term reliability issues driving a truck around for a year .Ram still has not fixed their lifter issues along with the exhaust manifold bolts breaking off.

Good question. That would be interesting to get a 20 year old perspective.

My picks is 1 Ram 2 Ford 3 Gmc/Chevy 4 Toyota If this was 2021, I would put the toyota and shift everything else down.

Toyota guy here. Have an older Tundra. My ranking would be: 1. Chevy/GMC 2. Ram 3. F150 4. Tundra

Younger guy here. My rank would be: 1) Ram 2) GM 3) Ford 4) Tundra I could never afford these trims though, would need a base model work truck comparison.

I can relate. I didn’t buy my first new vehicle until I was 33. It was an F250 4x4 with 5 liter V8 for $14K. I just turned 70 and bought my third new vehicle.

I agree. These guys could be comparing Cadillacs instead. My priorities are more in line with yours. I would also throw in reliability/durability and warranty as a priority since I can't afford to buy a new vehicle every few years.

That ram can’t even tow 10,000 lb, with the driver all the payload is gone

Titan lots of fit and finish issues. its cheap and rides like its priced.

Agree but the Ram rides like a mercedes and has an interior as good as one too.

Yeah, he said "I love Toyotas. My wife and I have had them for 40 years. I just wish they would do something about the interior" --- man, so brutal. Just brutal.

I agree

Hope the 3.5 doesn't have as much problems as mine did. I'd take reliability over performance anyday. The ford is definitely last in reliability

@@fireant1272 Thats not true about Ford. You can not find any research that backs that up.

@@kona6451 my personal experience, along with data collected from thousands of truck owners Fords have been the least reliable brand as of lately. Ram and Toyota are the most reliable.

@@kona6451 aloha from the big island.

@@fireant1272 The Toyota is having it's share of problems with the 3.5 engine. It's reliability is riding on the coattails of the 80s cars. I use to be a Toyota mechanic in the 90s and lets just say we were always busy. I owned a Toyota truck that I bought new in 91. Was it a good truck? sure. Was it as good as the f150s I've owned? Nope. Never cracked open an engine or transmission on any Ford I've ever owned, can't say that about my Toyota.

That base trim ford costs about the same as the high country Silverado

The new plant in Warren has the qc very much better look at the video.

Well the RAM is a superior truck compared to all the others. It really isn’t even close.

@@mguerra310 it was a higher trim package, compared to the others, so apples and oranges. Also has the lowest payload by a large margin. So a great truck (car) if you’re not going to use it for truck duties.

@@stang-rv4pb less payload because it has a more refined interior. The fact is the RAM is the best

@@mguerra310 it is a refined interior no doubt, keep in mind, it was a higher trim package compared to the others, so really not an apple’s and oranges comparison. My issue with the Ram is that the 5.7 is lacking power compared to what’s available from the other’s, and available payload is really lacking. So if you plan on towing, not the best option, but for car like purposes, their fine.

@@stang-rv4pb exactly it was a higher trim which means more options which means less payload. Thats with all trucks. Just use a power wagon

They won't, prices will only go up

Only a nuke will crash their prices 🤣

You're going to be waiting a while

All way over priced

That what I though 2 years ago.

Bidenomics (inflation)

Nothing official. I keep asking and I don't get any concrete answers. Basically whenever they get chips or other parts, they will sell those features or retrofit models. It changes seemingly daily.

Great channel Tim‼️Fast replies every time unbelievable 🎯

If I had a choice in trims, I certainly would have picked one that were closer.

Space issues!

Which minivans?

They do on HD trucks.

Things to consider about the TUNDRA. No recovery hooks, no AWD (all wheel drive), no step up bumper, no rear flat floor, poor seat construction (weak plastic trim front seats), narrow visibility between rear view mirror and the entertainment screen, very poor interior/exterior night light visibility except for the highest trim levels.

@@NMTRUCKER still best value though. The under-seat storage is massive

@@NMTRUCKER all good points.

​@@NMTRUCKER I'm sitting in my '22 right now....the 14" screen in no way impacts vision. Some pictures and video angles make it look like its sticking way above the dash,its less then an inch and level with the gauge cluster pod
