I have a 2020 2500 tradesman, it has the 360 camera view and it’s nice for 56k. So far as affordability the tradesmen models where I’m from aren’t really that affordable but way better than paying 90k for a chrome stripe and 12 in screen. Glad you made this video
Ram trim levels are weird you can get a tradesmen with power slide window in rear under the level 2 package of the trim. The big horn doesn’t come with a power slide and it costs $4,000 more to get that option. It seems like the only additive of big horn is the nicer interior with the soft touch doors if you go completely stock on big horn
I just bought one this year. You didn't mention the snow chief package. Big alternator, 18" rims, top of cab lights, wiring harness wired into the dash buttons for accessories, transfer case protection. Very happy with my purchase.
Just bought a tradesman on 2/22/22. I paid 53,900 after dealer rebates. They had 2 more longhorns on the lot. It seems for ram that the chip crunch is letting up a bit.
60k is fuckin ridiculous. I have no clue how they are selling new trucks these days. These trucks are NOT worth that much, maybe high 40s to 50k is reasonable for a BASE model cummins.
you can option a tradesman up to dang near 80k with tons of options. But you can't get heated seats and steering wheel. If I could order one that's probably the only option I'd really want and it's not available.
I mean 60K isn't really that bad for an HD diesel, especially when the market goes back to normal and you can negotiate down from there, decent options for a tradesmen.
Yes the chip shortage will eventually end and the market will normalize. Dealers should keep that in mind when demanding premiums over MSRP. Customers will remember who did it and who didn't.
What trim package is this for 60 grand? I saw another video with same identical trim package for 5 grand less. Is this the 2HA package? Couldn't catch you as you was blowing thru fast.
@@ictpilotI’m sure the hemi will last a long time and by the time you break even with the money spent on gas for the hemi compared to the Cummins it would prob take 10 years (atleast that’s how long it would for me with my annual driving).
@@amolinari9 If you're going to the lake once or twice a month or occasional towing your hemi is fine. If you're doing serious pulling or pulling trailers day in day out, you want the diesel.
@@ictpilot agreed 100% I tow once or twice a year lol so even if I increased that 10x I’d still get the hemi based on what you said. I haul a lot though maximizing the trucks payload capacity and then some but that’s fine it’s what it’s made for. I’d get the Cummins purely because I love the sound of it and just straight up want one not cz I need one.
I still don't understand why these trucks are so tall, i wish on their base models that they would be lower to the ground like an older pickup, all new trucks are just way too tall.
Either one would be a huge upgrade. I'm a Ford guy and the Lariat is crazy nice. I think the back seat in far better in the Ford. I've had diesel for 20 years and if i was buying today i would get the 7.3 gasser. It depends on how heavy and often you tow. My buddy had a 2015 Ram 2500 gasser and it was the worst ride and horrid on fuel mileage. My 16 F350 Lariat rode way better.
60,000k for a Tradesman!?! I wonder what the Market Adjustment was on that....🤔🧐. I can get an AEV Bison diesel fully speced out for 54,000k. Better mpg and put a stiffer suspension on it and BOOM towing 12,000 lbs!! 👍👊
@@loveracing1988 Dont worry man 🤣, I have upgraded brakes, an exhaust brake, upgraded torque converter, 14 ply tires, each spring (coil/leaf) on my Colorado is rated for 800 pounds of constant weight. My Colorado could possibly tow more honestly

The 4x4 stck, column shifter, jump seat!! Perfect truck
On the floor 4wd shifter 👍
Your RAM videos have made me appreciate them a lot more this year, so thank you 😁
It would be great if you could show the payload and towing sticker on the door for each truck walk around.

What state????
@@humba-d4q Friendship Dodge Ram in Bristol Va.

Gas or diesel??
Was this Out the door price? Or before tax title and license?
Man they want a lot of money even for a truck trim that is suppose to be the affordable one for the working class
60k for a tradesmen ,insane
And the 10-20k markup makes it 80ish
@@LoLreality1 What $20k markup? Are you high?
@@DWhite-el4ih a year late for a response but, Who is high?
@@LoLreality1 If you don’t see a comment for 1 year then you can’t really comment sooner than that. Did Florida make you stupid?
Okay they are going for around 64k around me. The Laramie is 80k. Totally worth the tradesman price i aint paying 16k for some technology
More in the 55-60k area now
I just pay 60k for a 2024

60 month and longer financing. Some don't seem to grasp the total price when making payments.
What about a 21 with 24k mile for 60k?

Does it come with a particulate trap and DEF system? That’s a big deal.

Tradesman come stock with that infotainment center???
What a great review thank you
15 seconds of video on the engine
13 minutes on cosmetics
Need I say more? 😆😆😆😆
Wait the towing capacity is the same as the 6.4L hemi with 4.10 gears?? Why spend the extra $9k then?
Because the better fuel mileage and you're not working the truck as hard with the diesel.

Hello I like your videos where is the Dealer?
Better then a big horn?
No
I still don't understand why these trucks are so tall, i wish on their base models that they would be lower to the ground like an older pickup, all new trucks are just way too tall.
Ben how about this base vs base trademen vs bighorn
Big horn for me
I want a ram maybe dump my chevy for a ram? 🐏
I bought a bighorn and it lost 20k in value in 2 years I should have just got the Laramie it was 5k more and would of held its value better
Was gas ?
@@salvyboy3505 Diesel
Awesome
10k for the Cummins.
I can spend 60k for a base model cummins with 0 options or a 62K Lariat 7.3 gasser…. I pull a 38 foot camper and coming from a 21 6.4 Hemi with 3.73s

@@brada1997 That's surprising. Did the Ram 2500 have rear coil spring suspension? It should have been smoother.
