I’ve owned my Limited for 18 months. I’m impressed with it, the V8 has plenty of power and the best fuel economy I’ve gotten was 21 mpg during a cross state road trip. Not bad!
I just purchased this same truck 2hrs ago. So far it's more than I expected. If I can only figure out how to have the interior lights turn on when the doors open and figure out how to get u connect to work I'll be alright 🤦♂️🤷😂😂.... Haven't had time to fully play with it, but I will tommorow... Great reviews bruh, keep it up🤙
@@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS I appreciate man! I found that information about the dome light in the owner’s manual page 57 I’ll the Uconnect up and running in the morning. One down and plethora to go 🤷😂😂😂😂
It’s exciting isn’t it? Congrats and welcome to the Mopar club. You will love it. Had mine for two years now and still feels like the first day I bought it. Got 34000.00 Kilometers and no issues at all so far. 👍👍👍
@@ramrider1453 Thanks! I have been playing with it all day. Working on getting everything setup to my likings. I took my daughters out for a ride today ,and between the massive sunroof and quite ride they were asleep before we got to the park. I thought to myself, oh well guess we’ll just keep on riding then😎😂😂😂
Amazing video one of the last big questions answered about this truck. Love the video. Thanks for all the reviewing and overviews of this Limited. Will definitely be buying one in the near future. 👍👍 thanks for all you do Ben
I’m an East Coast guy, I don’t think I’d ever get tired of that view..btw, just picked up a ‘21 Laramie, I don’t know about the Limited; but my ambient temperature sensor is never right...it’s 29 outside, it says it’s 65... never triggers the seat warmers or heated steering wheel... little bummed.
@@ramrider1453 Lol yeah man I had lots of trucks years ago and everyone I had averaged between 15 and 16 mpg... don’t know where you live but the warm weather here in Florida you will get better mileage than being in a cold environment also... Plus there are no hills to climb and where I live it’s only 120 feet above sea level and that all helps with mileage....
@@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS lol. So far, every cop that’s pulled me over let me go with a verbal warning, because I’m in the army reserve lol. I don’t like the military, but getting out of speeding tickets is a pretty good deal for me.

I am in the market to buy this same trim level Ram 1500 5.7 L Hemi etorque. Does anyone know how many inches the rear (axle) tires are to the end of the 5’7” bed, I need to know where to place my tire stop inside my garage to prevent backing into the drywall.
A very nice truck! I would get this or the Rebel/Rebel Night Edition over the TRX, personally... Why? Well, because besides the much higher fuel economy, the TRX is far too... W I D E 🚘/↔... Staggeringly so; a full 88" - as wide as an H2 Hummer, I believe. That would be my sole reason for not getting the TRX - even if I could afford it! This is something that isn't taken into consideration. It's not called a T-Rex for nothing... I've heard that it's hard to stay in your own lane with it, and that parking it is extremely difficult; like you'd be better off parking it off to the side somewhere or being a butthole and hogging two parking spots. That wide. The dingability factor must be extremely high when parking it in a regular parking spot, I can imagine; god forbid two TRXs will ever be parked side-by-side. 🚘🚘 Imo the TRX is more than a beast - it's a MONSTER; and just like a T-Rex itself, it belongs out in the wild - as an off-road focused truck rather than an on-road one, with regular roads and parking spots just being brief transitory points before it gets to it's destination... For more of a comfortable on-road truck, this and the Rebel are much better options. It would be different if they made a standard width 'street racing TRX' - or something like that - in my view. I mean, couldn't they put the exact same TRX engine and transmission in a Limited or Rebel, with the same suspension (or similar) - and just lower it?... That would make a boss street racing truck! If Ford does something like this, I think that'll give them an edge over Ram... And whatever happened to the legendary V10 used in the Viper and Viper truck; I thought they would've put that in the TRX? ...Just some views and thoughts, lol. 😏 Great review.
@@SiccSideKali4Nia209 I do! Getting a new 21' F150 Platinum with 3.5 ecoboost. Last one I had averaged 18 city and 21.5 highway and the 2,7 ecoboost in my 17' F150 avg 19 city and 23 highway. Love the looks of the Rams but not a fan of the hemi.....
@@retgi1 I work at Ford and I own a Ram. The 2 mpg less on the Ram is worth it compared to all the issues the 150 has. Most all techs are driving non ford. Been working at Ford for 4 years. They are junk and and always in the shop for work. So you can keep your junk ford!!

Which gears do you have? 3.21?
do you have an etorque?
People don’t drive anywhere near the 55 mph speed limit on urban east coast freeways. Most people are going 70-80 mph.

@@MrK1976 lol... Sweet👍👍👍 Took me a few months to figure out all those options and buttons. Lol.
I went from driving a Dodge Charger Hellcat to a 21 Ram Limited so the gas on the truck is automatically better for me haha I was surprised though

Took a road trip about 700 miles. 23 mpg 5.7 etorque.
How many miles are on the truck ??? I noticed in my Hellcats. Once you get over 9,000 miles on them. They will get about 2 mpg better than new.

Unfortunately that has been a big issue with the newer ram as they changed the placement of the sensor. I believe it’s now under the driver’s mirror.
Great mountain scenery!
This ram limited truck knows how to get up and go for a ram truck

Great Video Ben I enjoyed the driving
Real world it. Let’s see it at 80-85 mph on the interstate :)
Ram needs the 6.4 in the Ram 1500 ... 475 hp / 475 trq
Ain't going to happen..but would be a nice option..
Power Wagon for the win!
Excellent video. Very informative. Answering a lot of questions.
Does the air suspension go back to normal ride height on its own?
Yes
@@BenHardyCars can you tell me what mileage you’re getting at 78-80mph?
Beautiful truck! I average over 20 mpg with my hemi but that is pretty gentle driving LOL...
What rear end gears do you have? I average 17-18 on highway doing 110 Kilometers. I have 392’s
@@ramrider1453 392... I drive so gently that my Eco light is lit up almost all the time LOL
Mine is also 2 Wheel Drive
@@leedanielson7452 Yes that right. Mine is 4x4 so it will drink more. My old GM with 6L averaged 14-16 on highway. It was a pig.

I have a 13 Ram that has the lifter tick. Only thing keeping me from getting another Ram.
I’m getting around 20.1 @75 some times 😀

I’ve had mine for 5 months. Overall it averages 16mpg. Btw mine is the etorque v8. Love it but, but epa on the sticker was higher.
Hello was there a breaking period until the 16mpg? Ive had it for 1 month and i get 11.5 average, and i am driving slow

whats this truck doing with a 3:92 rear end....should it not be a 3:73 or 3:42 ?
EPA fuel ratings is determined on a dyno not an actual road.
Must have the 3.92 axle if you’re doing that many RPM at 70mph. Nice truck.
Edit: Just answered my own question line 30 seconds later. Lol 😂
The only problem is when your not driving on a flat road..Minor hills will drop you down to 15
Great video
Nice video

Can I recommend something?

Ben, is it another on road than the TRX?

The speed limits are 80? Or most people are going that speed
If only. 70 is not enough.
11.5 miles per gallon average.....2021. Ram 1500 V8 5.7 That's my reality. Too fucking much!
What's your wheel set up? Mpgs now?
@@user-lu7do5yp3d 20 inches stock, 14 MPG now . I have been very light on gas pedal, still unacceptable. All miles 80 percent highway.

@@user-lu7do5yp3d No....I can't just go to the dealership and complain about gas mileage, since the truck is running just fine.
Its an empty truck ... that is like checking mileage on a semi without a trailer.
