You can really tell these guys love doing this. Andre explaining the engines with enthusiasm is just fun to watch. Nice video guys!
I would definitely choose the Chevy
TSM_ BOT yeah wayyy better looking exterior
II DOGPOUND II y’all lying right. he literally said it’s okay, it will do. Plus he’s the only reviewer to say he likes the Chevy, but it growed on him.
@@SRT_VILLAIN chill bro the inside of the ram might be nice but the outside is ugly the Chevy inside is simple and more reliable and better looking I’ll take Chevy
@@iidogpoundii8734 more like you'll take less, it's not like the chevy had a better option😂 the ram exterior is just fine. Your saying all that but sales say different. Explain why what yall design team is on, and why fans complained about the looks when it first came out😂
Y’all forgot about the floor storage cubbies in the Ram. One of my absolute favorite features. So handy
Perfect storage cubbies for hammocks, ratchet straps, tow strap, etc. etc.
I have an extra truck gun and about 500 rounds in each of mine! Extra ear plugs and gun parts.....perfect
And about how the e torque adds 100ftlbs of torque of the line
@@adamrussell6155 we could be friends. I think the same way about floor storage 😅
Facts
I’ve got a 2020 Rebel, the interior is nicer than pretty much any vehicle I’ve been in. I have about 5k miles on it so far so we’ll see how it makes out long term. I have no complaints with it so far, I will say when a nice shiny new trailboss goes by it definitely catches my attention. They are both striking trucks depending on the color.
Mike Pipher the ram has a bright red too, but if you keep your ram in the shop on time and follow appointments, your ram will last over 300k
*Also has never been in a modern foreign
@@Shooter60X I should have said “nicer than any truck I’ve been in”. I realize there are much more premium vehicles out there.
@@mikepipher3347 If you still have it, how has your experience been with it? I am thinking of moving from a 2012 Tacoma to a 2019 Rebel. Just unsure if I want to move away from the mid-size and the reliability my Tacoma has got me through
@@nathanf1699 I’m getting ready to trade it in towards a super duty, but it’s been my favorite truck I’ve owned. I live super close to work so I’ve only put 25,000 miles on it since December of 2019 but in that time I’ve had no issues. The fuel economy kinda sucks but I think that’s pretty known by everyone.
I drove Chevys for over 20 years. Bought the Rebel. Interior and features did it for me. Got the the Rebel 12, pano roof, leather seats, 19 speaker harmon kardon stereo, ramboxes for the same price as a Trail Boss with cloth seats.
This is why I love to watch these videos, these guys are always honest with the cars, trucks, SUVs they got so we the audience can have a better idea and/or point of view. Admire your work guys!!
Awesome to see you guys expanding your reviews and informative content to the motorcycle community now! Cheers and rubber side down on the new channel! Great job as usual gents!
I've owned 2 Rams and love them. I currently own a 2019 Ram Rebel, and it gets the job done offroad. In total, I've had Rams over a 7 year period and have yet to have a single issue. Can't say that about other brands I've owned.
I've owned 3 Rams from 96 on up , having a tough time with all the electronics in newer models which brought me here . Trail Boss is to the extreme on analog though , i mean my 2011 which im upgrading from has more tech but HATE rotary shifter of new rams and hate having to go through 3 screens to adjusts heating controls... seems more of a distraction then my Cell phone . Search continues
The current ram really isn't a working truck, it's for people with deep pockets that wants to look tough while having more comforts than even cars have now.
@@darthbane2669 Who was talking about work trucks? I'd say a Ram 2500 is a heck of a work truck.
@@nanukofthenorth4095 Heating controls are on the sides of the Screen so very easy to adjust. I don't have to go through ANY SCREENS, so I don't know what you are talking about.
U have to b the luckiest guy out there
I own a 2019 Silverado LT Trail Boss and I absolutely love it. I have about 27k miles on it now and haven't had a single issue with it. Have done lots of off-roading, towing, and long distance road trips and it's handled all of it in stride.
Yeah I feel like I could have been happy with a rebel too. My buddy has a 2017 rebel and really loves it(minus the infotainment system).
Yeah I think they’ve gotten better on the newer trucks, for sure. His is just too slow. He can’t even answer phone calls with it because the call is missed before the answer call button actually works. Witnessed it myself a couple times actually. The functions are there, but it’s too slow to function properly. The newer ones don’t have that problem though I think.
If you still have the 19 trail boss, how has it held up over the years now?
I'm about to buy a used 2019 trail boss and looking for owner opinions on it
Spent time with the Rebel and I previously owned two GM products. Hands down I’d go with the Rebel.
Could not agree more. I previously had the GMC as well. Very nice truck but the Rebel is super sweet.
Trailboss
“The suspension setup is pretty similar, whoa whoawhoa” lol got me lol
Was a Chevy fan for years until I bought my 2020 Ram Rebel. My Rebel if an amazing truck with an amazing interior. The Hemi motor is an amazing performer and the ride is unsurpassed!
Another vote for the Ram, but with the standard HEMI, no food processor.
If only they had a real shifter instead of a food processor dial.
Joseph Whiskey Beale good point!
@@josephwhiskeybeale no one has actual shifters. Even if the truck looks like it does. It doesn't, everyone has electronic shifters and gm was the first to use them. The I like the dial better after having one.
The "food processor" is what makes the RAM competitive.
Add a Mr Fusion and I'm all in...
I’ve always had the best luck with Ram trucks, I take great care of all my vehicles so I have better luck than most but my last Ram 5.7 made it to 657k miles before the head gasket finally gave way, it was an easy fix due to the push rod design, the Ford would be a disaster to fix due to the ovehead cams and the unnecessary amount of valves so the Ram and gm win here. All three trucks are fantastic and you can’t go wrong these days with any of them but I’ll always spend my own money on the rams. I’m a mechanical technician currently working in the aerospace industry on missile systems and I have to say that the Ram trucks are amazingly high quality these days. If you can afford the Ram definitely go for it, at least go and treat drive it if you normally buy Ford or gm, I think you’ll end up buying the Ram. It’s pretty incredible how fantastic all of these truck have become, especially the rams which I can’t stress enough are just so close to perfect.
Crap thats a lot of miles!
For any Truck.
My best on a Dodge maxi van hd was 350,000
come on man @657miles that ram would be nothing but a pile of rust, I really mean @65k
@@lakernation4725 Try the new Ram trucks. Things have changed.
No mention of the coolers in the back of the Ram. Love them!!
LMAO Andre! "Rebel 12 gives you this, the cool entertainment screen and giant...(pause)...um...you know...everything" I love it that you guys are real, not worried about editing, because it makes your videos fun.
I love the videos, keep up the good work
I had my girl builded, I waited 10 weeks before picking her up. 2022 Rebel fully loaded top to bottom as my retirement gift with red trimming with black leather interior, and 12" display exterior color is black and white with graphic kit. When I finally picked up and saw her it was love at first sight. I named her Selene from the movie underworld it's a relationship made in heaven or hell LOL. Hopefully we will stay together for years to come.. 🇺🇲❤️
I picked up my 2020 Ram Rebel 1500 because of watching your reviews and real world tests. Thanks for the hard work and dedication to give consumers like me a somewhat unbiased review and opinion on the meat and potatoes of these products. And to be honest, the only reason I picked a Ram Rebel is because of the 12inch screen. Everything else that was great about it was just icing on the cake.
2020 Trail Boss 6.2L, Standard bed owner here. Was not a fan of Dodge exterior so didn’t test a Ram, but did test the F150 and Tundra. Ultimately, because I am 6’6”, fit and driving comfort were a big deciding factor. As far as interior goes, I like it as simple as possible; as long as it has cold air and CarPlay I’m good.
You should have drove the ram. I drove all three, omg the ram drives so much nicer. I purchased a jeep though 😂 it drive horrible before my modifications.
Thank you Tommy it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who dislikes the Catfish grill on the Rebel. I like that they tuned the catfish down on the T-Rex.
Had a RAM 2017 didn't like the shifter. Found myself turning it while on the road by accident because I was looking for the volume. Screen to much for me. I like old school knobs and gauges. Oh and shifter. Lol. I do like the look of TB better imo. Corner step a must for me so I went back to Chevy.
For 55k price range, I can simply choose RAM Rebel but like Andre said the fuel efficiency isn't for everyone and also the air suspension setup on RAM is more comfy for daily pavement driving. Can you guys compare the newer model GMC Yukon AT4, Chevy Tahoe Z71, Sequoia TRD Pro, Land Rover Discovery or LR4, Lexus GX or LX, Ford Explorer, Acura MDX, Audi Q7, Volvo XC70, Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride? I think it's a good comparison idea just because some of us more into these type of suv as daily uses i.e. hauling groceries, a 55 gallon empty rain water barrel, some 6ft 2x4 wood or pvc pipes, transport kayak for 2, light off-roading, carry 2 dobermann dogs and most important is real world fuel efficiency. That'd be a good morning breakfast show and before shopping for next vehicle. Thank you 😊 💓
I own a 2021 Trail Boss and typically Dodge's seem a bit louder but I like the potency and decibel level of the Trail Boss more in this video. I propped the flapper valve open with two hose clamps and covered the resonator screens with exhaust tape and I'm very pleased with mine.. but the Trail Boss sounds louder in this video🤷♂️
Went from an 2002 Avalanche to the same 2020 TB own by TFL. Love the truck, it’s more truck than I will use, as Tommy said “it just works”.
Yeah, that phrase should be left to the Toyota guys only, and no, I'm not one.
I m a chevy guy but this year i love the RAM looks..
I like that '55 GMC grille.
Ram Rebel with the 8.4 touch screen with the buttons for climate control etc. axle lock button huge bonus imo. As well a split tailgate, would be my choice
Tommy and Andrei videos are straight COMEDY
I started in a 61 Corvair Rampside, 67 Chevy PU, 75 Scottsdale, and 75 Suburban than several Chevy Vans. I like Chevy!........and I would buy the RAM!
Honestly I just can't wait for you guys to get your hands on the Ranger Tremor and Bronco! Looking forward to seeing the Black Diamond trim!
Now I have to find your video on the the ride quality of the RAM. The trail on TH-cam never ends.
I grabbed a 2021 Rebel Night edition last month. Love both trucks, really loving mine. Just saw the add for the 21 Ford F150 tremor as well. It's a good time for choices.
I am picking up my Rebel tomorrow Night as well. fully decked out, MSRP was 64k, got it for 51k.... I was going to wait for Tremor but that 3.5 ecoboost and turbo on off road.... idk...
I went with the 6.2L trail boss and love it
this i understand...that 6.2 is awesome, not to mention 10 speed transmission! if only we had RAM interior + GM powertrain (also like 2" vs 1" lift) we'd be in truck heaven.
@@unixdoes the trail boss has a factory 2” lift.
@@unixdoes on the 2021 at least
I would take simple and actual truck features over interior......
I've had new 1500s and 2500s.....ram I have now I feel like I could break it pretty easily, my 2021 gmc 1500 would be hard to break, my 2022 2500 silverado I don't think I could break it if I tried.......
Just a feeling I have about last 4 trucks in last 4 years
I'm looking at getting one now. What do you think. About getting one with the 6.2 V8 or get it with the 3.0 Duramax
Ram really needs to put that 6.4 liter in the 1500. whether it be for offroad, or street performance.
Though trx had it
@@marcuskoolrtTRX is 6.2 supercharged
Great video! My buddy has that Ram and I’ll admit that screen the panoramic sun roof (I know yours didn’t have it) was quite impressive. However, as a truck guy, sometimes simple is better. Besides, i know friends with Rams and the interior did not hold up over time. Color me “analog”!!!
I've owned both of these trucks both 2020, i like the Trail Boss better..it actually feels of better quality and more reliable layout. The Rebel was having electrical issues at 8k miles!
What kind of issues?
yeah but did u get it kitted out with all the doo dads? cause getting a base rebel with the 5.7l and 4x4 should help eliminate more things to go wrong
@@toddmayta7615 I had an issue with the back up camera system whenever it rained and the heaflight assembly going out as well
@@dr._breens_beard all it had was the rebel 12 package that's it, no moon roof didn't come with a brake controller..
@@rossgreenzweig hmm. Prolly just down to chrysler's craptacular electrical systems.
I have owned 3 silverados since 1998....currently have a 2018 z71 and since GM keeps taking options away comparing the 2018 to the 2020.....honestly would have to take a very hard look at Rebel on my next purchase. The interior is hands down winner on Rebel and the infotainment screen, well that might seal the deal
its worth it. like old school chevys, but the ram wins
Sorry, I'm a GM guy. I pick the Rebel, without a food processor.
Next time you check out a Ram try operating the radio or climate with the gloves on. This is why Chevy wins.
@@domin8ss imagine driving your truck with gloves on
@@KY-sq4en that's not hard to imagine at all. It happens at farms and work sites all the time.
@@domin8ss most people take off their gloves in between jobs. but nice try, guy
@@m.brandon6544 you are not most people. You need to do better with your replies. After all, it's been 3 months since this conversation ended. You should seek attention elsewhere, offline.
If Chevy's interior was like the Ram, now that would be a nice truck.
Great info.
I have a 5.7 8 speed and get 22mpg all day long. I drive in easy hills, then in town, then on terrible efficiency highway due to mostly uphill for my commute.
Tough choice, I like them both but I got over 400k miles on my last ram and it still runs lol. Transmission just started slipping so I parked it. Now I’m trying to decide what to buy next. Great video, you guys were very informative. I’m probably gonna go with the ram.
Put 2 transmissions in my 2014 GMC with only 150,000 and did not use it to tow. Hope my Ram does not have this issue.
GMCs are known for transmission problems. Why do people still buy them is beyond me.
Ram has way better ride quality and stronger engine.
True to that!!!! I also have a dodge ram 2005 with around 400k miles . Same transmission and same engine. Knock on wood everything is fine for now . I just recently got my ceramic gray rebel .. and I must say it’s a bad ass truck !!! I also had an old dodge ram Dakota 5.2 v8 with over 450k miles on it. Same engine I had to change the transmission though , but engine was great .
Ram all the way. Will be buying one hopefully soon 👍
As an owner of a 2021 Rebel I’m partial. I did drive a 2021 Chevy Silverado with the 6.2 , prices and options close. The Chevy was slightly quicker , had much more torque. But I chose the Ram. Keep it up guys I enjoy your blogs
Do you know which one has better mpg between the two 5.7hemi and 6.2 ……?
I'm a Mopar guy but I love trucks from all brands. I wish I could somehow drive different ones all the time. Personally I feel Ram has the nicest interiors and innovative storage bins like the ones under the rear floor mats, the double glove boxes, optional Ram Boxes in the box sides etc. Ford has improved their interior for 2021. GM may want to invest in some nicer interior designs and materials too. The Ram back seat in the crew cab is a few inches larger than the Chevy that's why it has a shorter box.
The ram is so beautiful ! But Chevy all the way !!!
I switched from Ford to
Chevy , it feels like a man's truck my Z71 off-road all day long Trail Boss!!
Nice. To me, Chevy is the most "truck like" out of the 3. It's designed specifically to be a proper truck.
I have a 2019 Custom Trail Boss and I love it. It looks and performs just like the $55k LT Trail Boss, but without all the fancy features or luxury options, but I only paid $37k. For that price, I'll pick my truck all day.
I went with the LT Trail Boss. You couldn't get a Custom with the 6.2 in 2020. With kids and a dog, the leather interior is much better. I needed the console in the middle of the front seats instead of the folding third seat for things I need to keep with me. $51k well equipped before I added several thousand in accessories. I'm also very glad I have the 10-speed.
Who spends that much and doesnt get loaded?
@@boostedbavarian people that want a better package with higher resale value. Unless it’s a specific option like the Torsen Front diff on a Raptor, options get you zero on trade in value, where as a package level difference bets a large improvement.
Short to say a base upper level will save you more money over a fully optioned lower level.
Great review, but i will take my Trail Boss 24/7.
For the simple fact of it
works.
If i want real flash, I'll take a Cadillac or Lincoln.
I wouldn’t compare a Ram to a Lincoln or Caddy because of “flash”. It just has a little more technology, it’s still a truck.
I like simple, my wife journey has all that fancy touch screen , I rather focus on the road and have knobs by feel .
I am on my second Ram and I love everything about it, except that it only comes with four standard tie downs in the bed. Every time I haul stuff I am reminded of that. Chevy did that better. As for everything else, I love the Ram. I just got back from a 2500 mile multi-state drive, hauling stuff part of the way, and the comfort, the power, the utility are all excellent. If I were in the market today I would trade for another Ram 1500 with the 5.7. However, I am leaning toward a diesel next time and everything I hear suggests the Duramax is a better choice. I'll have to research that one carefully when that day comes.
@Hill City Skunkworks Don't forget that the Ram has an optional sliding tie down system.
Ram all day long, great video guys!
For reliability and style I would choose the Ram, but would have to repaint the tow hooks red! 😉
Reliability? Lol
Trailboss for me. Ram is nice, maybe even nicer, but I feel at home in a boss. No place like home.
How has your trail boss held up over the years? I'm about to buy a used 2019 trail boss.
@@chrissnider9555 It was a great truck never had issues with it. I’d say as long as it has the 10 speed transmission and has had good consistent services as needed you should be alright. Mine was a 2020 and so that’s the model year I’d recommend also had 5.3 V8 which was great. Just do the scheduled maintenance as needed and should be pretty great vehicle for you.
Such great reviews from renowned experts"!! Always fun, always first"!!! Definitely the best on TH-cam "!!! They're also down to Earth and funny! We miss seeing Roman as much in the video,s.MORE ROMAN GUYS"!!!!!
1 more thing...the Ram Boxes! Very cool accessory.
for perspective on mpg... my 2011 silverado z71 with the LC9 5.3 and 6 speed auto and 3.42 rear gets 17-19mpg summer/winter. I dont have the front air damn either and run offsets.
Biggest standout for me is the interior. Both trucks do most things well. Tow haul etc. but man GM and their short comings on their interiors. It’s not bad , it’s just bland.
Both Nice trucks!!... Thanks Andre and Tommy...Yes..90s..☺️yes..column shifter!!
My Rebel has all the tech one could ever want, it rides so well and the panoramic sunroof makes every drive a joy! Tech, comfort, power, reliablity but a bit thirsty.... I haven't seen or driven anything I'd rather have instead and the kids love it.
Go with the Ram. I have a 2019 Ram Big Horn with the Hemi and tow 95% of the time and have 28,000 miles on it in just one year without any failures. Love this truck
I have a 2018 Silverado with 70000 miles no issues. I also have a 2019 RAM with 33000 miles. The RAM has been ok but it's averaging 14 mpg mostly highway. Go with RAM if you want to get a truck which does not match advertised performance.
2019 Custom Trailboss purchased in July of 2019, now with 47k miles on it. Only problem I have had is the radio glitched 2 times and wouldn't turn off. I regularly tow 7000lbs+ and have had no reliability issues.
Hey Andrei, even though you picked Rebel, good choice. You didn't mentioned infloor storage bins. Rebel for the win!!!
Yes they did.
Pulling the trigger on a new 2023 Rebel GT 5.7 Black on black ! Looked at a lot of other options but the Rebel really had the performance and capabilities I was looking for.
I have a TB with the 6.2 having kids, dogs I need a functional and rugged interior. It’s durable, doesn’t show scratches and is fancy enough for me.
My vote is for the Silverado. The fancy interior is coming for ‘22
👏👏👏
I really enjoy watching you two on these trucks, you hit everything I would care about.
I have a 2017 ram 5.7 Hemi it was getting up to 22 per gallon on the highway it had 275/55/20 tires on it I went with 275/60/20 it cut the mileage down to 20.5 highway now I put z38 drilled and slotted rotors on it and ceramic brakes which are a bit heavier than stock rotors now 19 is the best I’m getting... I realize the tires are a bit taller but I don’t understand the brakes and rotors doing that... thanks for your videos guys....
Long time Chrysler owner but I decided to go with the trail boss. Love the factory lift but initially I did miss the power of the hemi. Overall both of these trucks are beautiful with their obvious pros and cons. I gave in and bought a Chevy and so far I love it!!
The ram doesn’t come with a factory lift?
@@juniorpedraza4805 it may but definitely not a 2 inch lift. When I test drove one it sure didn’t seem like it but I could be wrong.
@@juniorpedraza4805 It does.
I'd take a non e-torque Rebel over the Trail Boss for various reasons: 33 inch tire, Hemi with port injection, not direct injection which ends up in a sooty mess, ZF transmission vs 10 speed (jury still out there), interior quality, unloaded ride quality with the coils. And a big one for me since I live in a salt belt, paint on the frame for the Ram vs wax only on the GM. Hard to believe GM still does that.
Ppl make fun of ram engine bays saying that there’s too much room / waste of space, but I work on my Ram 1500s and I really appreciate the space so I don’t cut my hands as much and can fit my arms in the tight areas to access bolts etc.
You might have mentioned that the GMC Sierra AT4 has the diesel option and it’s a near clone to the Silverado. Thanks for the review!
Lol convenient... I'm literally about to head to Denver/Boulder to look at Trail Bosses and Rebels
Get a Power Wagon.
Good Luck, and happy shopping!
Get the rebel wooot wooot 😂
Try the radio and climate while wearing work gloves and you'll see why the Chevy is better. Plus, you can get a Trail Boss with the 6.2.
@@domin8ss Apparently you didn’t notice the large radio knobs and climate control buttons in the Ram 🙄
E-Torque is a $1450 option on the HEMI and it helps boost the fuel economy by 2 MPG or so.
make sure to tell me how many years it takes you to make up the $1450 by maybe saving 2MPG, GM for MPG
@@lakernation4725 with todays gas prices not as long as you’d think lol
I love driving trucks around 90% of the time because am scared driving a small car after being in a four way accidents...10% of the time..am picking things up at home depot and towing my boat in the summer..
Ram. I do own a 5th Gen so I am biased in this. However, my company truck is a TB and while it’s a very nice and capable truck, I can’t wait to take the RAM out of the garage, I get so excited to drive it still. Seriously though, this is all about user/owner preference, both are very nice, capable trucks.
RAM any day of the week. The interior, where you spend so much time is much, much nicer. Plus you can't bet the air ride.
I have two buddies with air ride and they both have had problems with it.
@@lespaulplayer1234512 not a bit of trouble for me.
Gilbert Nadeau that’s good man. I don’t ever wish truck problems on anyone no matter what brand 😂
I'd go with the Ram, no food processor. They both look good outside, but the Ram interior wins it for me.
Great fun video
The GM 6.2L is available with a performance package that bumps output to 435hp & 470tq. I'll take that over the 3.0L Duramax.
They both have the pluses and minus. At the end of the day I would drive both. Good video Tommy and Andre!
There is such a thing as being too objective where one cannot make a choice.
You should test the fuel economy on the 2020 Rebel and see if Ram changed anything to improve over your original test.
Scott Egan but it is a truck, they should add turbos to theirs rams and stop complaining about the 3 less miles per gallon witch when put on the road isn’t a difference
Both great trucks. Would be happy to own either one.
Id opt out of Rebel 12 in favor for Level 2 with Dual Pane sunroof and get the optional 12” screen on it the red accents red and white color stitching red seat backs and cloth seating surfaces are way more usable much better and premium looking as well as doesn’t burn but on those hot summer days the Rebel 12 although has leather the rest of the interior feels with the silver trim and single color stitching feels less premium
The Ram all day everyday, like Tommy says welcome to the 90's and fisher price plastics. I think my 2015 Ram is on par with the Chevy, I have heard to many issues about the newer Chevy even the HD trucks. I mean both you could get for the high 40K mark, but as for daily use, seat comfort and support Ram.
I bought the Chevy. It's my daily driver. Married with 3 kids. Everybody loves it. Ram also has a history of rust and electrical issues. No truck is perfect. If they were then everybody would buy it and there'd be no competition against it.
@@domin8ss All of the truck manufacturers have had rust issues, it boils down to keeping it sprayed off if your state uses salt. But when people complain to me directly as a sales consultant for the Ram brand that their new 70k denali 1500 has been in the shop for a total of 38 days in a year and 5 computers later. Just sold a 3500 Cummins to long time Chevy guy his 19 Duramax with 32k miles has had emission issues constantly, literally bought 20 GMC 3500 600 miles in dpf plugged and in limp mode and can't haul his trailer for his company. His new ram already has 3600 miles nothing. I had a another long time GM guy come in on a new 3500 due to his '15 3500 Denali Duramax less than 150k miles blowing the engine had a $17000 bill, yikes. Plus our growing collection of Ford trucks right now as its about 1 a month for me personally, but I'll give it to you I have customers with new truck have a couple of electronic issues like the ramcharger not working and an odd piece here and there. Chevrolet is not the same brand they were when I was a kid when thats all my family owned till 2007, our '96 1500 was more reliable than our '07 1500.

@@whatchis1120 Again, everybody can point to something and say, "look at the trash". Dodge has bigger problems with rust and electrical failure. I haven't experienced the paint problems you said. The lifter issue was last decade. And, I've never had an ac issue. Many years ago I worked in auto parts. It was the imports that had ac issues, like Mitsubishi and Volkswagen. Ford was ball joints and ECUs. Dodge was parts for engine rebuilds on 318s and 360s. Chevys were typically oil changes, brake pads, etc. There be the occasional blower door motor, but that was about it.
I would go with the Ram any day over any GM product. I use to be a GM fan until the ignition scandal they had I lost all respect for the company as a whole.
That was like forever ago lol most engineers probably don’t even work there anymore.
@@Hellenkeller777 I don't care how long ago it was. My wife had a car with the ignition problem and it went to the dealership 4 times and they couldn't even fix it right. They put my kids life at risk and that's a big no no with me.
I recently purchased used Rebel and I love it. I might be little biased as I work on Rams for past 8 years. 😂
Dude im not gonna lie the only thing i liked on the RAM was that big ass touch screen. That trail boss is too nice !! Plus great fuel efficiency for a beast of a truck that it is !!
Hahahaha food processor on the Ram...it does look like one!
It's funny both tfl bike guys own dodges
The battery and dipstick tests are very important in a truck... You have to check your oil (of course), but when you have a big truck, you have to be able to jump people off in the Walmart parking lot.... It makes you extra-handy, and that is what trucks are all about.
Ram for me. I've had mine for 5 months, and love it. I drove a Silverado, but I can't get past the looks, cheap interior, and couldn't find one made in the US.
I've owned a 2016 Rebel w/5.7 Hemi since new and I've put 226,000 kms on it in about 4 years.... easily the best truck I've ever owned!
That new style Silverado is the reason I switched to Ram from GM.
sad to say myself hardcore z71 fan....Rebel has my attention for sure
I choose the rebel. I have one and I love it. It's all I want it in it
I bought the ram and loved it. I was bored one day and test drove the chevy for the sake of curiosity. I now own the chevy and have to intentions of going back to ram. I know the chevy isn't as fancy on the inside but honestly that's part of why I like it so much.
Trailboss for me
ROFL “Welcome to the 90’s”. That was so true! Poor Chevy
I like the GM inforertainment because once it's out of warranty you can dumb that crap and get a Android auto unit instead that will be a match for the ram and I also like the thought of having buttons to control things
A Ram 1500 or Ford F-150 with the Chevy 6.2 V8 & Chevy 10-speed auto trans would be perfect for me !
I think the ram looks like a 55k truck where the chevy looks like a 35k truck that they are charging 55k for and thats not trying to take a swip at chevy .I like both would own either one but id go for the ram at that price point of 55k its about what you get for the price tag.
My Trail Boss is nicer and better equipped than TFL's, and I got it for $51k. Price was not negotiable since GM gives a discount for first responders. Police, fire, healthcare, and military all get the same deal. TFL was telling you MSRP, not the accustomed prove these trucks are selling for. The real tell tale is that you can't find a Chevy at the dealerships. They are selling very fast. Ram dealerships still have inventory.
My 04 Silverado was such a great truck, I'll always route for the Chevy. As far as I know, my old Silverado is still on the roads with a new owner, prob over 300k miles now.
Hi guys. You didn’t show the storage compartments under the rear floor Matt on the rebel.Good beer storage. With ice keeper cold for a while.
I am currently in the shopping stage now and I just test drove a LT Trail Boss. Good truck, seats are super comfy but the Ram is a better truck. I grew up Chevy all my life, Grandfather always and still does have a Chevy. I however got a Ram in '18 and I won't be going back. Both are very capable trucks.
