Holy cow! The off road capability is impressive! Makes me even more excited for my new Ram 2500 to arrive.
Even without the rear locker, Ram's do very well off-road. Thanks for watching and commenting! Good luck with your new truck!
Man this is great. The anti-spin was a feature I wanted but due to the shortages I couldn’t find it in a truck with the other features I wanted. Been looking into aftermarket lockers because I tend to put myself in situations I shouldn’t, but this gives me a whole lot more confidence in my truck.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I wish ram offered the power wagon rear differential across the lineup, it is a Torsen limited slip with an e-locker.
@@EngineAdventures That would be sweet. They need to offer both front and rear. I'm sure it cant cost them that much to throw it up on a diesel truck.
@@mendiesel7932 I agree but Ram doesn't want to take away the appeal of the Power Wagon.
I have a 2019 Ram 2500 4x4 6.4 hemi crew cab 4x4 - 8 foot bed . Best interior of any truck on the market. Have the sunroof H/K stereo- lighting everywhere are LED. Heated front and rear seats - everything is awesome. No consideration for rear seat room no one rides in the back - retired just me and wife.
Sounds like a great truck! I haven't had much opportunity to drive the 6.4 Hemi but I've heard good things.
@@EngineAdventures for what its worth, I got into a situation on a nasty rocky road in arizona towing with my 2018 ram 2500 megacab. i took the wrong road (I remembered taking a ranger down it but its too rough for a truck without a trailer) taking the family camping and had my rzr, tent and all the gear loaded up on the trailer. Maybe towing 8K, anyway I was going down this rocky rocky road, the shale type that slide around and are flat and it got tighter and rougher and finally on a steep grade, maybe 6-8% i decided i am not going father. i had to back the trailer up the shale over some boudlers in a spot the dozer used to push rocks into for the switchback and I was going down hill so backing up hill turning the trailing with terrible ground. i previously owned an extended cab gmc 2500, that thing was a goat with its G locker and shorter wheel base, i never got close to getting stuck there but nothing this nasty with a trailer. 4 high wouldnt let me back up at all, just making heat in the tranny so i locked into 4 low and starting back up, the truck impressed me. i was thinking I am going to have to off load my trailer for thirty minutes, back it up, drop it, turn around then reconnect and hook back up and it was getting dark and my wife was pissed! luckily the dodge backed right up like a sure footed goat, reminding me of my duramax actually and got us turned around safely. I have a trip to wyoming for some goat hunting next month, going to see how it does in the mud. the only thing about my truck thats terrible offroad is the wheelbase since the megacab makes it just a few inches shy of the long beds, but the ride is extremely good for a 3/4 ton truck. It smokes my gmc in comfort on the highway and streets, i actually run the tires about 35 psi higher on this truck because the ride is so good.
Thanks for sharing!
Commons is a better Diesel engine my dad has a 2020 ram 2500 turbo diesel
Sure would be nice to see the truck in action off-road as well as hear about how it rides on dirt roads etc..
I have a 2020 Ram 2500 coming up that will show my tests in my newer location that covers your requests. It probably won't be published for another month or so.
Locking rear diff should be standard on all trucks
I agree, but at least as an option if not standard.
@@EngineAdventures yea I guess so. Nowadays you’d think they cost enough though it would come with every thing needed. All my trucks have it. Beautiful truck man. Hopefully, if everything goes good this year I’ll have a new 3500 by years end
Awesome, this was just a media truck that I had for a week.
@@EngineAdventures cool. I’m more than ready for an upgrade. We have a fifth wheel we use a lot and the old truck just doesn’t handle it well
I have filmed the Titan XD as well, just need to do the editing, that one is more suited for 5th wheel duty.
I owned a 2500 heavy duty in 2010 and it was constant problems...now I really hope for 82,000 you don't have any issues
Sometimes you just get unlucky. Any vehicle can give you problems and on the flip side any vehicle can be ultra reliable. I guess it's just the way the cards fall.
The extra weight of that diesel should perform the function of a front locker, lol....
It sure is heavy! I just posted the 6.4 gas video of this truck. While both climbed the hill just fine you can definitely feel the weight difference!
Would rams limited slip in the rear have made that much difference? I’ve had it in my 15 and 18 and almost can’t tell it even works.
Ram uses a low ratio Torsen limited slip. Something like 2:1. So If one wheel is slipping it can only transfer 2x the torque of the wheel without traction to the one with traction. Meaning if one wheel is in the air or on really slick terrain it cant transfer enough torque to the other side. However, this is my favorite style of limited slip as it doesn't wear like a clutch would. Eaton makes the True Trac limited slip with a 3:1 ratio that does better. Also this style of limited slip does really well with brake based power transfer systems, where the vehicle applies the brake to the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power side to side.
Whats your payload with the air ride? My 21 cummins is only #2175 its the Bighorn 3.73. if you want to pull a 5th wheel you are very limited. My 21 has an off road screen
I don't own the truck just had it for about a week for a media review. I might have a picture of the door tags buried somewhere. Yes the Cummins weighs a lot and the air ride system reduces payload even more. When asked about 3/4 ton trucks I tell people that the Ram 2500 is the only true 3/4 ton truck. The frame and suspension systems are different from the 1-ton trucks, whereas GM and Ford just have stiffer suspension of the same design between their 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks. If the Ram 2500 doesn't have the payload you need and you still want a Ram, then get the 3500. All of the big 3 offer a wide range of payloads and sure you can get an F-250 with a much higher payload than a Ram 2500, but the F-250 will ride like the Ram 3500. There's always a trade off.
@@EngineAdventures i totally agree.
Differential locks only in power wagon this is a feature I wanted and will have to add locking diffs in the future.
Ram is the only one of the big 3 that doesn't offer a locking rear diff from the factory, except in the Power Wagon as you mentioned. As you can see in this video though, unless you're spending a significant amount of time offroad, then the brake system will work quite well. Thanks for watching!
@Rod Smith It does work on both the front and the rear, but independently of each other. This isn't a problem because of the lack of a center differential in 4wd. Watch our video on the Chevy 6.6 gas on this same hill and you see a lot more side to side movement because the rear and center diffs are locked but there is no control on the front, so even with 3 wheels spinning the one front wheel doesn't help climb at all. Other vehicles have an open center diff and have a brake limited slip that works independently front and rear. This means if one axle loses traction on both wheels then it is essentially 2wd.
I thought the Rams had rear elock?
On the Ram Rebel a rear elocker is standard and the Power Wagon comes standard with front and rear elockers. Thanks for watching!
Perfect truck for a ✌️high school kid✌️. No high school kid should have a truck that expensive. Not much of a difference between my Laramie and this limited truck.
You own a very nice truck!
But it has 2Cats, Egr, Dpf, CCV and a intake baffle not a real diesel
I guess real diesels have mechanical fuel injection. You know, the ones that once strated you could pull the battery out and they would keep running? Emissions restrictions certainly hurt performance and durability, but having clean air to breathe is also important I guess.
@@EngineAdventures Well those are the realest diesel but most people can agree that as long as it doesn’t have egr and Dpf it’s a real diesel computer controlled or not
Did you disconnect the sway bar?
I did not. This isn't a Power Wagon and doesn't have the electric sway bar disconnect, and I didn't unbolt the one that it had.
Engine Adventures I’m an avid off-roader. Disconnecting would make a huge difference. Huge!
@@johnanthony6141 for sure it helps, but to keep things fair between vehicles I almost never air down the tires or disconnect the sway bars.
Engine Adventures omg, your making my brain hurt. LOL!
@@johnanthony6141 haha sorry that hurts your brain, my testing is to see how well the vehicles can transfer power to the wheels with traction, along with overall stock capability. I do air down for special videos, like the Tundra TRD Pro at the sand dunes, but mostly I test them as they are from the show room floor.
Video title is super misleading.
Which part?
Does anyone actually do driving reviews or just walk arounds?
I'm curious, what do you want to see in driving reviews? I'd love to improve my shooting methods and give the audience more of what you want. Keep in mind I'm a one man show, so there wont be rolling exterior shots except for having the camera attached to the vehicle.
