I ended up going with the Chevy 1500 Z71 trail boss with the 6.2L V8 and it’s definitely worth the hype ladies and gentleman.
I just got the 2020 trailboss 5.3 and I have zero regrets. The 10 speed transmission shifts so smooth and the 5.3 still packs a punch when needed.
I don't like chevys because you pay a lot of money and those interior sucks men, I mean they make an interior like if they sell you a 1995 honda civic.
@@georgemercado7160 its a truck... trucks are made to do truck things. not being an over done rig...
@@dallasfrost1996 my rebel is not only more capable and I have a way nicer interior. You spend all your time on the interior it needs to be nice especially for the price
What's your MPG on your 6.2?
I'm actually looking to get a RAM Rebel by the end of the year! The optional air suspension, responsive steering, interior and exterior styling made me fall in love with it
Shadows1632 get it I just did and I’m super happy.. the truck drives so smooth that is increíble that a truck feels that way
Can't go wrong was chevy all my life got a ram up never go back
I dont care Sapo do you still feel that way? I am about to make the same decision, rebel vs trail boss.
Here’s an idea. Drive them off road . Then rate them
I kept waiting for that part of the video....
concur. here's a good video: th-cam.com/video/hpIfBcULiD8/w-d-xo.html
Let's be honest, most of these are not bought for off roading. A true off roading enthusiast would want something smaller.
Guy's don't sleep on the Trail Boss.
it's no slouch....
I owned an F150 FX4 and absolutely loved it. I decided i wanted to do something different so i looked around. I really liked the Trail Boss and test drove one. I was in contact with a salesman and was ready to buy. But then just to make sure i explored all avenues, i went and looked at Ram. I test drove a Ram Rebel and was sold!!! I ended up buying a 2020 Rebel and love it. My buddy bought a Trail Boss and even after a side by side comparison I am still confident I made the right choice. Although, i still think the Trail Boss is a nice truck.
AJW 1054 Still liking the Ram?
@@allnfun6315 Absolutely! Ive only had it for about 6 weeks, but so far its been great. This is the first Ram I have ever had and I really like it. Ive heard good and bad about the Ram, but I also heard the same about my F150. Only time will tell if its as good as my Ford. But I will say this, if it does as good as my F150 I will get another one. It looks awesome, the interior is way above everything else and it runs great. We have a mix of trucks at work, but just today one of the guys said he liked mine so much that he thought he would go test drive one. In short, I love it and if youre in the market I recommend a test drive.
AJW 1054 I just hear those that use the old reliability issue with Rams and figure I see if anything came to surface this early with you. How’s the mileage? I read those saying they get nowhere near the sticker statement. Be on the lookout for rear window cracking or weak AC. Hopefully in a year I’ll be checking them out. Thanks for the input! Enjoy it!
@@allnfun6315 I would say that the mileage seems to be pretty close to sticker. Seems better if i leave the autostop on. My F150 seemed a tad better, but i relate that to a 5.0 vs 5.7. But overall it seems good, (only have 1200 miles so far). And yes, I have seen the rear window issue in some reviews. Ive been watching that and so far its been good, and we just had a huge rain fall the other night and all dry. If anything pops up Ill drop you a note here. 👍
AJW 1054 wrong choice rebel poo
I love my 2020 Ram Rebel 12 package. I added the Borla Atak and it’s amazing!
Bet that sounds BAD ASS! 😎
I need to hear it now!
i put one on my ram also🤩😎
I've heard about that. What does it cost and did you do it yourself?
How's the interior sound with the Atak... Ok for longer drives?
I really love the Chevrolet and I feel that the Chevy is honest truck. I know the RAM has a better interior but I feel the Chevy has more functional interior. Thank you very much Ben for the beautiful and unbiased review.
Functional interior? In what way is the Chevy's interior more functional than the RAM's?
The one reason i never liked Chevy or gmc is because their interior always feels so dated! The 5.3 is terrible also! But I’m sure a tune would help the throttle response on the 5.3. The new Chevy does look nice though
More durable
I test drove a 2020 trail boss with the 5.3. It’s really responsive. I was told they gave it a better tune than the 2018’s. The ride is smooth and quiet. It also turns on a dime. Really impressed. But the interior is dull. However the Silverado looks way better... imo.
Just give me a 6.2 trail boss with the lowest trim level and I’ll be the happiest dude in the world
I love my 2020 trail boss!
Same here. 6.2♥️
If i was buying a truck for the long haul, Trail boss. If i was buying a truck for the length of the loan and warranty, Rebel. Why? The rebel is a nicer truck. They offer more for your money but i wouldn’t trust it after my warranty runs out. Toyota or Silverado for the long haul.
Im thinking the same but since I’ll be leasing it considering rebel
You must not be following the Chevy problems on the new trucks. The 5.3 with less than 10k miles are blowing up left and right. Electric issues like crazy too.
@@rigging1377 you mean the lifter problems they had from the bad batch of orders from covid 19? Rams has been having that issue since 2012 bro. Lol
@@lokkstarproductions6918 lol, that was actually cam issue’s do to the “mds” in the late 2000’s. Chevy in the earlier 2000’s was good the 5.3 was solid. Now the Chevy 5.3 is garbage just like the transmissions they’re putting behind them. Ram definitely stepped it up putting ZF 8 speeds with great reliability.
@@rigging1377 cam issues or not leaking oil in engine head and loud tapping valves. No thank you.
Trailboss
Ram has really stepped their game up in recent years… But I’m going Chevy
i guess I'm quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to watch new movies online ?
@Ameer Rocco Flixportal :D
@Maxton Jake Thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it!!
@Ameer Rocco Glad I could help :D
Trailboss for the win!
Love my 2020 Rebel with the Rambox and multifunction tailgate options.
I was thinking about those options but I am not sure if I will use em, plus it looks like the ram box takes away a bit from bed storage?
@@Shadows1632 Yes, takes a bit away from bed storage, but still 48" wide so you can fit full-size plywood sheets.
Ditto that! Options I got that I wanted: Rebel 12 group, Hemi eTorque (was surprised how most Hemi's available didn't have the eTorque including the one in this review), Sunroof, Rambox, multi-function tailgate. What I didn't get that I wanted (couldn't find one that had everything in the two-tone red color): safety and convenience group (wanted active cruise control) and air suspension 4-corner. One other thing, one of the dealer selling points on Rambox is they are $1K instead of $1.5K that they used to be, but what they don't mention is that the price is lower because it doesn't include the bed divider.
@@Shadows1632 The Rambox is definitely a personal choice but I do find them useful for securable storage. I use them for groceries, small luggage, fishing gear and even rifles. Putting stuff in the back seat only invites someone to do a smash and grab which is hard lesson I learned with my last Ram. Bed width is not issue for me because I can still get must ATV's inside. The biggest hassle is the limited availability of good tonneau covers if you want one.
@@gjpressley On the tonneau cover, I went with the Bakflip MX4. The way they designed it was pretty impressive, their cover rails slide right on the bed rails top track (tight fit, requires some effort to get them on), and as a result the rambox lids open with no contact to the cover (the older versions of the bakflip had a rubber lip up against the rambox). Overall fit is perfect.
Definitely gonna roll with the Chevy and the 6.2, I’m just not a fan of how the ram’s exterior looks 🤷🏻♂️ but that’s just me. You are right tho, the inside of the rams interior does poop all over the Chevy tho lol. Way more plush 👌🏼BUT! with that being said, the big ol 12’ screen for the infotainment center I feel like is a little too much, like it could and will just be a distraction. I like simplicity, a good ol old fashion knob dial will be sufficient enough for me 👍🏼 great review BTW!
I'm leaning towards the Rebel personally!
I did a ton of research and ended up with the Ram. But make sure to get the eTorque it's amazing tech, and the upgrade in the 2020's is only a couple hundred bucks.
BillyCrash it’s really that much better? I heard it doesn’t add any horsepower.
I have absolutely ZERO brand loyalty, so my comments are coming from a neutral place. I cross shopped these trucks along with the Raptor, Tundra TRD and the Nissan Titan Pro4X. The Raptor is a great truck, but couldn't justify the price when I really won't come close to using it for it's true potential (desert running). Titan probably ranked the lowest on my list; capable truck, but hated the transmission, it felt like it didn't know what gear it wanted to be in (also hated the dash column shifter and radio antenna...very outdated); the Tundra TRD is a highly capable truck, but that interior is straight out of 2000. I don't like the looks of the Chevy, and the interior materials didn't justify the price. You spend most of your time in the interior driving the truck, and I want to enjoy my space and feel good about it. I came away so incredibly impressed by the Rebel as the full package for me (all that stuff I mentioned are subjective), so I bought it. I see comments about the dial shifter on the Ram, but I love it! I absolutely HATE the dash column shifter, and I also hate how the Raptor/Nissan still have that stupid radio antenna popping out from the front quarter panel area when everyone has the shark fin...both those things are outdated as hell in my opinion. I like technology and progress, and the Rebel did just that. All that said, everything I mentioned above are all subjective to how the buyer sees it, but if the quality of materials and looks don't matter to you, you can't go wrong buying any of those trucks because the capabilities of all those trucks are great!
thanks! great inputs...I'm still deciding.
Nissan is garbage
I agree with everything. The Ram has the nicer interior, but I didn't want the big screen in the middle. I ended up going with a Trail Boss LT with the 6.2 V8. It was a tough decision. The Ram had a lot going for it.
Lets be honest. Their are no real bad decisions. All companies have their lemons and unicorns. How boring if everyone had the same tastes. Congrats on the new ride.
Hi, just curious if you have a long term report for your Trail Boss?
@Astin Martin I love it! Only issue I've had was a quiet rattle coming from a collar on the front left cv axle. Covered under warranty. With cruise set at 78 mph I've seen mpg in the low 20s. Roomy and a workhorse that I can take offroad.
Now if only I could baseballs away from my truck. 2 dents because of them. Most recent was a foul ball that went far. I thought I was parked far enough away, but I was wrong.
I came from an F150 which I loved, but it was the oldest design now about to be replaced and I was in the market for a new truck. I reviewed both GM and RAM offerings and I ended up with a RAM Rebel. Pretty much the best all around truck currently for sale.
Agree, and wish he had reviewed the ride, both on and off road. I think the Ram has the edge in both of these categories too, the ride is just amazing.
gpage for me the raptor was the one
@@rau4329 Of course, but the Raptor is on another level though, not comparable to a RAM Rebel or Chevy Trail Boss. If I had the money, that would have been my choice instead.
gpage yes thats the only problem with the raptor is the price but I have been a ford family for most of my life. the raptor is my truck even though my parents and my grandparents use it more so I bought myself a mustang instead. I am not a rich person I use my money for thing I need.
Ben u already know that I own a 19 Rebel! And can’t beat the Rebel interior. I love my truck so much! And that 12 inch as well is amazing. My truck is black with the red accents. And the seats have the little tire designs are a great touch
Put 45000 miles on my Raptor in almost two years. Most of it street, but roughed it through Padre Island for surf fishing and excitement at least 5 times a year. At least 40 miles on rough beach terrain every time. Truck is a beast but did not want to deal with any issues and the warranty was done. Traded it in for the Ram Rebel with all the upgrades and I am very happy with it. Only had it for two months and have already taken it to the surf twice. No complaints yet. Interior is amazing. And of course Raptor exterior is on another level. Don't care about issues with RAM, since I will trade it in once the warranty is over.
Ram TRX is coming! And a lot of trucks - INCLUDING the Raptor - will finally meet the new King of the Hill!
As I understand it, the Rebel comes factory with a 1" lift.
If you have the adjustable suspension it goes 2
@@BBAERSTANCE1 It Dose.
Cannot believe dodge added the dial shifter. It has to be the dumbest part of their vehicles.
Rebel. With the nicer interior, selectable rear locking differential, and options for the big screen and air ride, it is superior.
BOWTIE
My opinion is the Chevy is better looking on the outside and with the 6.2/10speed has a better drivetrain. Suspension is a wash, neither is outstanding but perfectly fine for each truck. The Ram has the better interior and even more so with the 12” screen. Ram has the improvements to the bed with the split tailgate and Ramboxes, if you want/need that. I will likely be picking up a Trail Boss in the near future.
Good video, the ram rebel is the better looking truck, and better horse power! Rams interior is better also. 👍
I own a new gmc sierra x31. I wish I had the gmc body with a ram interior. That would be super dope truck!
You all right, im with you
One of my local dealerships legitimately uses this video for comparing the Rebel and Trailboss. Just thought I'd pass that on.
Just bought the Rebel it is awesome!
Trail boss all day just got mine two weeks ago
Good afternoon 😃 this chevy truck so nice 👍 ram truck have the best interior great job video excellent
You do such a good job reviewing vehicles! Keep up the work, I'm about a year out from buying and those Rams look damn nice!
A year out?... You'll be just in time for the TRX! 😎👍
ChiefsKingdom!!!
At4 vs ram rebel next please. Also great vid ben, lots of good info so thanks
A.K - 1 shot I’ll see if I can figure that one out lol👍🏻
Trailboss for sure ! Never liked the way the ram looks on the outside
Drove them all and i purchased my first RAM. The Rebel is an amazing truck!
I agree that the Chevy looks better but the Ram interior is just superior. Kind of a trade off depending on which one you choose
Just test drove a 2020 trail boss today, the interior is extremely cheap and even smells like rubber instead of that clean leather smell. The outside is amazing tho. I’ll be keeping my 17 Denali a bit longer until they get an interior redesign
Look at the 2022 zr2 Silverado that’s a true trailboss with a new interior
Tuff choice I like the locker system on the dodge
Trail boss
I have a 19 Ram 1500 Laramie now, but I’m liking the Trail Boss a lot, especially with a 6.2
I absolutely hate that RAM dial shifter in mine, trucks need a column shift or at the very least center console shift. Thanks for the video Ben 👍🏻
A truck has to have a phallic object for a shifter to be manly?
The Dodges Ram rust out above wheel wells
@@markreading6377 So does the Chevy.
@@endocry yes it does
I’ll was like that in the beginning but now I got used to it and I like the clean look of not having anything in the front and also the having that big center console is amazing I play with it a lot I’m always sliding that this back and forth for work.. I had a Ford and the center console wasn’t that small but it doesn’t compare to the ram
I have owned both and hands down the ram is a much nicer truck. Go look at them back to back same day and you will see. Interior and ride there is literally no comparison.
As a person who bought a 2020 Ram 1500. I have to say. Get the Trail Boss if you want to off-road. There is a major issue with the Ram. It's so pretty you don't want to damage it. But one look at the Trail Boss and you have no worries about damaging it.
Rebel for the interior..
Chevy for the looks..
Definitely trail boss cause of the 6.2
6.2 trail boss
I have a 2020 Trail Boss 6.2 liter I just had it timed from 0 to 60 it made it in 6.7 seconds in 4×4 Trac con OFF
Trail boss all the way
Well if I was a Ram guy I’d buy the Rebel. If I were a Ford guy I’d buy the Raptor, if I were a Toyota guy I’d buy TRD pro. I’m a Chevy guy and yes love my Boss!
RAM ALL THE WAY. If you put in a 6.2L in the Chevy then you better put the 6.4L in the RAM...THAT IS WHEN you find out the 6.4 HEMI smashes the 6.2L with it's torque. RAM is the better quality truck. My pick anny day...
Love the side by side comparison. Need to take them off-road and do a side by side comparison and after that I'll choose one or the other but deep down I'm hoping the Ram is the better of two because I'm not a GM fan!
The TrailBoss is slightly better off road. The 5.3 and 5.7 are nearly identical performance wise with similar axel gears. The TrailBoss has better fuel economy with 87 octane vs 89 with the Rebel. But the Rebel has the better interior.
In all fairness both trucks are excellent it comes down to personal preference.
Ram rebel all day for me
I’ve had jeeps ram and chevys honestly you can’t go wrong. I think rams are a little nicer interior and design wise. But chevys look good and are a lot less clunky. What I mean is everything works better in the Chevy. With that’s said next truck I want a rebel lmao
I personally would pick the trail boss with the 5.3 and all available options over any Dodge. Oh wait I did and happy 😊
I test rode the rebel yesterday and I'm going back to buy it in the morning.
Friends be aware Chrysler in the Dallas Ft Worth area are allowing dealers to sell cars with branded and salvage titles.check the car fax
The factory has no say what used vehicles a dealership can sell. But the factory does have leeway to cancel the franchise agreement with dealerships if the dealership is engaging in fraudulent practices. In short if you have evidence to support this accusation forward it to the FCA regional manager and the Dallas local media.
Got a 2019 warlock loaded 30,000 miles paid 34,000 absolutely a steel unbelievable truck for the money... In today's crazy world
That 10 speed beats that rebel. Sorry dude. I own the trail boss and damn! It turns heads everywhere I go and gets the job done.
You turn heads because the truck is so ugly.
Rebel has better features and bang for buck imo, great review! Really appreciate what you’re doing for the auto buyer community
jds bot features don’t determine a pickup
both great trucks but trailboss!
I’ll watch after work but I’m saying Ram wins. Maybe a video on accessories for vehicle you are doing a video on? Just a thought.
Rebel. No competition
Great video! Would take the 6.2 trail boss any day
I like the Chevy over the Dodge much better. Dodge trucks just don't have i
Of course ram wins, look at that hood, that interior with the massive screen and the tons of ports and compartment on the center and of the rear.
Just bought the 2020 Trail Boss with the 6.2 engine. Way nicer and better than the Ram.
Sorry, Ram’s TRX which is a 6.2L is way better than the Trail Boss 6.2L 😂
@@jhayrios5514 My buddy bought the Ram and traded it in for the Chevy. Sorry, you have no clue.
Easy children, they can both be nice trucks.
The Ram does have a 1 inch factory lift. You noted that the Chevy amd Ram had similar information on the center of the dash. The Ram dash is extremely customizable. It has 7 locations that you can pick what information you want displayed. The center of the dash is not even close in terms of information. Not only does the Ram show more it lets you pick what information you want there.
I worked at a company that had the Rebel and the others, the Rebel would certainly get up and go but I didn't like that rotary shift knob and it seems to have an awkward seating position but that could be just me, overall just not a fan of the Dodge look and feel and Ford was about the same too.
Trail boss 👑💪🏻
Rebel wins overall for me. The Trail Boss has a better looking front end and the 2" lift is nice vs the Rebel's 1" lift. But when you get to the interior the Ram just blows it out of the water. WAY higher quality, better tech, panoramic sunroof, just looks nicer in general. Whereas the Chevy interior looks like its 5 years outdated and just boring overall. For a $50-60k truck I expect luxury inside, even in an offroad trim. I'll sacrifice 1" of lift for everything else the Rebel offers. Just throw on a leveling kit for a few hundred bucks and you're set.
Chevy updating the interior for 2022 refresh.
Chevy had a way better start up sound than the ram
Have to agree with you there! Ram really made the awesome 5.7 Hemi sound enemic when stock. I have a 2019 Ram Rebel and put on a Carven muffler ($300) and now it sounds like a beast!
I almost went with the trail boss but the interior and transmission is FAR better on the rebel
No remorse ?
@@marcuskoolrt I don’t have it anymore but I would still choose it again.
Rebel all around better truck. Interior is great and it’s about comfort than looks.
Rebel is vinyl not leather with 1 inch lift from factory. Come back in 3 years... chevy is rotted out around wheel wells and doors and dodge is broke down or has electrical issues.
Ram FTW!
$20k overpriced.
Nice chest
Should have picked a Rebel with the Air ride plus and bed-liner this video really undersold some of the qualities Ram offers
Adam Martin picked trucks that are close in price
notice the difference in sound when the rear door closes on each. The Ram sounds like a truck with 150k miles on it.
It sounds like a 5.7L
The hood is taller on the Chevy which makes it look meaner. But look how low you sit comparitively. I think a level on the Rebel would go along way.
Recall RAM...nuff said
Not that these trucks are meant for racing , but I got into it with a rather cocky rebel the other night against my 2017 z71 crew cab with 5.3 . We were basically neck and neck all the way up to 70 , he never pulled on me , if anything I was a fender ahead .
Who else loves the mountains in the back
The Chevy v8 sounds better than the rebel, I have a 2020 rebel.,
I thought the rebel comes with a lift?
1". Whereas the trailboss is 2". But I'd bet both allow for the same max tire size. That extra inch might help clear the odd wheel wells. I think just a lvl on the rebel would go along way to making it look just as mean.
@@laingadaing yea I’ll have to make some modifications to fit 35’s, but I’m good on that right now. 33’s look good on the ram. Lookin at some new wheels now buy xd that look good with the maximum steel
Ram TRX!
I thought this was an off road comparison? Looks, performance and functionality!
We all no the rebel is the best off road, it has a better suspension, better engine, skid plates underneath also has a locking dif
Uhhhh.... not quite.
Yes, the Ram has a bigger engine unless the Trail Boss has the 6.2L, then it will leave that Fiat in the dust.
They probably have similar suspensions, except the TB has a 2" lift.
The TB also has skid plates. One under the motor, one under the transfer case.
The both have locking differentials. The Ram is electronic, the TB is mechanical.
What’s better about the engine? The TrailBoss is actually a bit more capable off road but both are so close in that regard it’s a wash. Both have locking diffs and skid plates.
It's difficult for me to believe the Ram gets 15 to 21 mgp . I had a 2005 Ram with the 4.7 liter. I got 14 mpg city and 17 mpg on highway. Mine was a regular cab as well.
Well tech has come a long way in 15 years.
RAM lyometer. My RAM always shows I was getting 2mpg more than I actually was.
Not in the Rebel package for sure.
Love my 2020 black on black rebel.I’ve had Chevy 4wd before.never again.my Dodge hemi is the Shizz!
Dude, Chevy and dodge and Ford need to stop 🛑 getting funky with these trucks! No one wants push start and no one wants a turn knob gear selector.! Bring back the basics and stop trying to put techy shit in these trucks! All these trucks are over priced pieces of shit..!
I got a trail boss 5.3 6spd and man I love the truck. Gas mileage sucks ass but I guarantee the truck will last for a looong time
I want to challenge my masculine side as a lady and get a rebel, not for offloading but a quality truck that I would keep for many years.
6.2 trail boss all the way. No Fiat ram for me.
Ronnie Smith dame
Honesly I never once felt like the trailboss needed more power, feels more than adequate, but I get wanting the 5.7 over the 5.3, especially if you’re paying essentially 60 grand
Why? Performance wise both are nearly identical with the 5.3 costing less to operate and maintain.
Good comparison man! I’d go with the Ram by a hair..😊
Rebel 💪🏽
Comparing the 5.3 to the 6.2. Is like comparing apples and oranges.. The 6.2 is just a beast comparing to the 5.3. But the 2000 interior ruins the truck in my opinion. But the rebel is also ugly. But if they added the 2” lift might be different story and I know I’m a year late but just went looking at 22s last week and couldn’t believe the power/performance difference bn chevys engines
So, sounds like there pretty even. Then go with the brand your more comfortable with and if you cant decide over that. Well then go with the truck of the year for the last 2 which is the ram 1500. That's what I did
More $70k trucks for people that could use a station wagon. Farthest off-road these will get is a grocery store parking lot..
