Please review the 6.4 gas with the 8sp!
I wish they would hurry up and update their website so we can really get into building one
the new heavy duty truck are arriving in dealers now from my understanding
Yea I’m not sure why trucks are arriving at dealers and you can’t build a new truck online
@@brennerfarms1683 yeah I'm pretty sure ram said they are going on sale in August
Alex Tran no they said by April
@@kennethschmelzel9342 oh I think I'm thinking about the ecodiesels then.
Great work as always. I bought my 2018 HD Silverado to see the country with the wife. We are looking at getting a fith wheel camper as well, but shocked at how fast they go over the payload. And 36 to 42 feet are very average. Nathan Ive watched your video couple years ago in wv testing the hds towing the 5th wheel campers so I know you have experience. But ANDRE, have you towed anything that long before, seemed very relaxed no white knuckles or anything. Thx again really love your live shows on my awful drive home getting out of Washington D.C
Do you guys plan to do a review of the 6.4 Hemi with the new transmission?
The bumper camera is useful if you have kids. It’s nice to check before moving.
Thanks for the great review 👍.
The 2500 HD is going to by high on my list.
Don’t forget the blind spot monitoring on the new towing mirrors
What a gorgeous truck. If I had 80k to spend I'd buy one in a heart beat
With as big a champion of anything Ford, I was stunned to hear you say something good about RAM. We have a ‘15 RAM 3500 which does great with our 4 - horse. Dave in Phoenix Arizona USA
Johnsons already has 2019 HDs in. Saw the beauties today
Man these changes are amazing. If I needed an HD again this would be it. Megacab DRW just because.
Yesss I love the way the Drw looks with the new style
You guys need to run that exact configuration of ram truck up the Ike. It’s the only configuration of truck you guys haven’t mile per gallon tested or did the Ike run yet.
Love the channel. Will you be testing the Ram 2500 with the new 8 speed transmission?
yes
Also very interested in that, as that is most likely my next truck
Do you know the timing on this review?
Wat is the tow rating for the 3 quarter tons bumper an 5th wheel ive herd the bumper was 20,000 lbs
Best 3500 truck for sure. Great job ram
Ram sure has come a long ways.
For 80.000 dollars I would buy a 5500 Ram.great video
When are you guys gonna review the 6.4l Hemi mated to that new HD 8 speed? That’s what I’m waiting on.
Me too
Same
Meet to
also the ram outside mirrors have power spot mirrors now
The side cameras should help prevent curbing tires over and damaging rims
Thinking about a 2020 3500 two wheel drive crew cab 8 ft box with diesel engine ( not the high output) Will be towing a 34 ft fifth wheel, dry weight 10,450, GVWR 14,155, hitch weight 2,155. Will truck squat to much if I do not get the rear air suspension option?
2020 AT4 GMC exterior Duramax/10 Speed Allison and Dodge interior "Unicorn"
I’m buying one. I just inquired :) I’ll tell you how it is
When you go Down the Ike Gauntlet with the Ram the engine brake should be in Auto Mode so when you come out of the tunnel at 50 and lift your foot off of the accelerator that activates the engine brake will not allow the truck to go over 50 assuming you let off precisely at 50 it will use the engine brake and gears to keep you at 50 or below you should have zero brake applications if you do it right. I Tow a large Tow hauler often in my Ram 2500 and never have to use the brakes going downhill using this method.
I wish you could still get a 2500 or 3500 in a quad cab..I would get a big Horn quad cab
Aw my Honda ridgeline heavy-duty can do that .had to order tow mirrors and put my hitch in the bed with air bags under the rear ..
@ 5:50 is that the proper way to put the step away?
That’s the truck I want
im crying because the manual is gone....
I want one.
Dam 78k for a srw laramie!! I dont want to see what a limited or dually costs!
@Myballsitchsomethingfierce
No, you're wrong like The Fast Lane Truck says. Toyota fan boys will pay an added $5K mark up price on the Tacoma and Tundra TRD PRO.
u will have to pay like u weight😂😎😎
The mpg test that TFL does with this truck as a Limited DRW is $87K. :D :D :D BUT it can tow an $87K house! :)
I was a Chevy Silverado guy , then out of nowhere , there A dodge Laramie on my drive way.suh awesome truck. Over a year has passed and I only ut 8 thousand miles. I work too damng much..
I wonder why they didn't give you the truck with the auto leveling airbags.
Love the sound beside all the emissions crap it has
the emissions garbage is killing all newer diesel engines no matter what brand they are. thanks epa
@John 3:16 KJV exactly the epa has made the newer diesel engines no matter what brand unreliable no matter what brand all the emissions garbage on them
@John 3:16 KJV exactly the epa don't care. u have alot more stuff out here putting out morepollution than a truck.
that hitch point seemed rearward, that 5th wheeler doesn't sit over the bed/rear axle much huh
Please do 2020 2500 ram with Cummins mpg loop.
Where is Mr Truck ? Haven't seen him for some time. Is he still with you?
You must have missed yesterday’s live show: What's It Like To Tow 35,000 Pounds? | Talkin' Trucks Ep. 36 th-cam.com/video/xxQDgKYCVXk/w-d-xo.html
Why no 4wd Auto in the diesel?
You stated that the trailer tire monitoring was up to 12 tires. Then that the trailer you were using was a dual axle when it was a triple axle. So you should correct that.
The trailer during that part of the video was a tandem axle flatbed.
I Believe I Will Be Buying One,To Haul Cattle,, I Have 2019 F450,Had Problems,Can’t Afford To Have Problems,Cattle Hauling is My Occupation
Megacab or no cab!!! RAM IS THE BEST
I just bought a 2018 3500 CCLB CTD so I won’t be buying another new ram until 2025
How's the truck so far ?! is it your first RAM ?!?!
Ram demo and they didnt have the srw 3500 truck with rear airbags?! Fail!
Hi TFL. I want to ask you guys what the difference is between TFLcar, TFLtruck, TFLoffroad, TFLclassics, TFLnow... you seem to have so many channels I can't keep up with the content!😅Thanks!
TFLcar should be the main, TFLtruck is specifically for trucks, TFLnow is somewhat like a news channel for TFL, TFLclassics and TFLoffroad to be honest I have no idea why they exist, but I just tend to focus on TFLcar and TFLtruck. In the case of this video, it should have been in TFLtruck but for some reason its in TFLnow....ehhhhh??
Its all about the Benjamin's
TFLnow is about breaking News, Behind the Scenes and Live Video. In other words, the latest and newest car and truck video news and reviews like this video that's a first tow. TFLcar and TFLtruck are all about longer comparison videos, projects vehicles (Truck and Car based on the Channel) and opinion and editorial like No, You're Wrong. TFLoffroad is all about off-roading and TFLclassics is all about classics. Hope this helps. We're working on making them more defined.
They don't really need to have so many but it gives them more advertising options.
Update the cab to the 5th Gen please
That squat tho...
😍😍😍
They are nice but to get me to trade my 15 3500, I'm going to need the bigger cab, bigger fuel tank and 8 speed. Other than that, it's not worth it to me. Hopefully the 2022 truck will have some major changes.
2020 crew cab with the 8 foot bed can have a factory 50 gallon tank.
Can you fuel the vehicle while that trailer is attached?
Huh?
What’s the pin wait on the trailer
They're around 3,000 lbs
👍👍!
I’ll put more then that
They really had the hot shot drivers in mind when making this truck
I've been hauling cattle to and from auctions nationwide with mine. One of the best trucks I currently own along with Ford
I figured that you would pull more than 12000 lbs. Any American 3/4 ton could easily pull this not to mention the 1 tons.
Maybe pull it but not handle the pin weight unless it were a base gas engine truck which wouldn’t pull it very well although it would do the job just be a miserable towing experience with a gas engine and all that frontal drag and the drag of triple axles.
Really pricey for dodge $13K added for diesel! Thanks
The 2500 should be able to pull that camper. I expect you are squatting because there was no toy in the back. I would say that truck was significantly under its max load rating. I want to see your Ike gauntlet review of the 2500. That is likely what I may get in 2020. It would be cool to see the power wagon run that as well. I love that beast!
No high output Cummins on 2500
Also last years payload was only 2200 pounds on a coil sprung 2500. The pin weight empty on that trailer is 2500 plus.
Still far more pulling power than needed for that trailer with a 2500. Even without the HO engine they are rated for over 17k. The pin weight is close to the max of the 2500.
1:56 yo am I tripping or did he say here's NOT a useful feature because he says positive stuff about it I'm confused
I think he said. Here's now another feature. Lol.
Ford needs to implement some of the Lincoln interior luxuries into the trucks to keep up with Ram. Otherwise they are getting left behind.
Left behind how ? I am no Ford fan but I thought a new Ford platnium or limited had more options then the dodge limited the Ford seats are by far the best
@@james2042 as I do agree with most of what you said what makes a truck useful is the drivetrain while the Cummins is a great motor the transmissions are garbage .while gm and Ford upgrade there driveline with stronger transmissions ram detunes there transmission shift schedule and dumbs there trucks down to handle the torque even they know it's to much power for the trans. As far a 12 inch touch screen goes if that's what sells you on a HD truck over the heavier driveline then you really dont need a heavy duty truck. As far as coil springs and air suspension they are junk they are nothing but trouble the coils wont hold a load and the air suspension fails in the cold constantly and everyone knows that GM and dodge both have weak front end components. Now if you could still buy the Cummins with a standard and not detuned it would be the top dog
@@james2042 the aisin 6 speed is a pile of junk . Ask anyone who rebuilds them for a living they cant handle the power they put out from the factory it's been rams issue from the start they just dont last. Ford + GM's transmissions are leaps and bounds ahead of ram.
@@james2042 from a halfton standpoint there good trucks they just dont handle well at highway speed compared to Ford or gm but by far ride the best.
That truck probably cost more than that Camper lol
I really enjoy this channel. You guys do great work. Here comes the but will you all stop reving the engine's none of them sound very good. To much pollution control systems on the to sound good.thanks
That's the 3500 that's not the duelly. The 3500 duelly tows 35,000 pounds yep u read that right
I like that truck not much on dually
Torque isn’t a big deal. You could already get more with a tune. Stop with the marketing bs
Ram 2500 😍😍
man who cares who tows more dammit! unless you have a cdl or have a ranch farm whatever you dont need that, ford gm ram,, im just getting sick of the prices 70k for a truck shit ill buy a damn sports car or muscle,
No overload springs to help with the rear end? That sucks. That trucks ass is to low
I’ll take the big hemi instead and pull a smaller trailer.
I'll be interested to see the numbers for Ford's upcoming 7.3 big block and how they compare with the diesels. Like the lower weight providing increased payload capacity.
I have a 2018 Ram 2500HD 6.7 diesel and i average 18 mpg in very hilly daily driving. You start towing with the 6.4
A lot and your mpg will be killing you on a decent size trailer. The gas is not as efficient as the diesel . The exhaust brake
Is incredible . I have it full on all the time. Hardly touch the brakes . If you dont tow then the gas is more than fine . Gas engine truck is quite a bit cheaper on every model.
The 6.4 hemi is a major disappointment when it comes to towing. Anything but a flat straight away and it just falls flat on its face. I would not recommend it to anyone.
Why doesn’t Ram put this combination in their 2500 trucks?
I have always wondered the same thing. sooooo many people want the 2500 with that big high output motor.
Why would they?! Its a 4k option for the higher power cummins and the aisin trans that is required. Nobody in a 2500 truck needs the high output or is willing to pay 4k to get it!
I love they have the cheaper and more fuel efficient 2500.
Andy Hass that’s why I should be an optional motor for the 2500. Ram could make big money when people want bragging rights. Which we both know a lot of guys care more when going to the grocery store. But I believe there’s a lot of 2500 series drivers that actually think they have the big number they see in the commercials when Ram says class leading torque. I know I’ve had a few guys that thought that already.
@@bobdennis4801 Exactly what I was thinking. They'd get all the ford fanboys to come buy a dodge so they can say "i have 1,000 ft lb"
Because it would be pointless. You don't need 1,000 lb/ft of torque to pull 19,000 - 20,000 pounds.
Are these Fiat’s made in Mexico still?
John 3:16 KJV MAGA 2020
John 3:16 KJV happy no collusion day sir
That was super cheesy putting that triple axel toy hauler on that single rear wheel truck. A 14,000 pound GVWR is BS.Those triples from attitude have a 19000 or 20,000 pound GVWR. That sticker was derated for this promo which means Attitude and Ram were in on the deal together. The actual curb weight sticker was most likely correct but that trailer had no options because most that size are closer to 13,000 pounds empty. Three 7000 pound axles don’t add up to a 14,000 pound GVWR. Don’t lose your credibility TFL.
The 14,000 lb GVWR was most likely a typo on Eclipse's part. I sell Attitude toyhaulers, and have had a misprint on the GVWR or other places on more than one occasion. It happens, and I just call Eclipse to have a new one printed up.
I bet the upcoming Superduty with its 10 speed auto and revised Powerstroke could beat this.
Eric Glueckert you are sad
doubt it, RAM already beat the latest ford with more torque actually to the ground on the dyno than the ford.
GM make you pointlessly watch it tow a giant boat. Ram hooks up to max loads and has the press drive them on imperfect roads.
Well this trailer could be towed by a half ton so not impressive.....
@@tysonreidful
Could have? Yes. Dry weight only, and only from a max tow vehicle (regular cab, right rear end, etc.)
Should? I think not. The brakes and suspension in a half-ton truck aren't really equipped to handle stopping that much weight effectively. It's not about getting going. It's stopping that matters. A 3/4 or 1 ton can much more effectively stop a load of that caliber.
Many of us who haul heavy often appreciate the utility of a heavier duty suspension and braking system. Makes for a lot less white-knuckle experiences. The whole number game with these trucks has really gotten out of hand. I'll end on this note: I personally wouldn't want to place more than 10,000lbs on a semi-floating rear axle in a pickup truck, and that is what most of the half-ton trucks have, if not all of them. (Don't quote me on that. There may be someone who makes a full-float axle in a half ton, but I haven't seen it yet.)
Tyson Reid no
Tyson Reid I'd like to see that, you always hear f150 and tundra fanboys saying how much they could tow. I would like to see a half ton towing this trailer up and down the side of a mountain like that Ram did.
@@tysonreidful not a chance! You're looking at tow rating only. A 1500 wouldn't even have half the payload rating to carry a fifth wheel of this size. A 12000 lb fifth wheel, with 20-25% weight over the rear axle would be 2400-3000 lbs just fir the fifth wheel. Not including passengers or cargo. What 1500 do you know with that kind of payload capacity!?
Get that out on the roAd. Come on.
2015 Ram 2500 HD 6.7 Cummins with only 33,000km and truck needs new PCM and I am getting a 9k USD repair bill from the dealership. Too bad, loved my truck until now and babied it because it was my pride and joy. DO NOT BUY!
.
really 12,000 pounds
Byebye manual trucks 😥😢😭😞
I love you ram but you gotta put these obese trucks on a major diet! 3992# Payload seems low so I’m guess GVWR Is 11700# and curb weight is 7708#.
not really low for a 3500 SRW, show me numbers from a f-350, bet its pretty close and ford has way more aluminum parts.
Ford trucks use V8 Diesel so I assume that already adds additional weight over RAM CTD. I was hoping for a 4400# Payload for SRW. There are toy haulers out there that have dry pin weights around 3700#. Looks like you will still have to use a dually to stay legal...
@@JB_WhoWork Have you seen ANY srw truck with 4400+ payload? I was thinking I had seen real close to 4000 but if it was it was barely over 4000. Probably would be safer just to step up to dually.
It’s just wishful thinking on my part but I agree, at that point you need a big boy dually!
Dodge puts a lot of cool stuff in their trucks and everyone is excited about the trucks. I have owned Chrysler and Dodge cars and trucks and everyone was a piece of junk. Poor quality control, they rust out and I would never own one again. My brother in law has one and just replaced the oil pan because it rusted through. Don’t buy bling and don’t believe all the hype about dodge. As my mechanic says “Dodge trucks come pre rusted from the factory”.
Like watching paint dry
Doesn't seem like 1000ft/lbs of torque. That things look like a 🐖
Having driven a 6.7 powerstroke that was tuned, and deleted, and driving a stock 6.7 Cummins pulling the same 12,000 lb trailer, on the same stretch of highway, (work) I can tell you the ram is leaps and bounds ahead of the powerstroke in terms of towing. The ford however is way faster unloaded.
The 1000 ft/lbs is tuned more for towing and hauling, not for going fast. Show me a fast Peterbuilt lol
Don't knock it until you try it.
You can tell that he is soft pattal it going up hill
