Today we are back again with another truck review. This is the 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn. With a starting price of $48,000 CAD, this truck is definitely a bargain. It has a 3.6L V6 engine which produces 305HP and 269lb-ft of torque. This may not be the most powerful truck on the market but it is a great choice for a daily commuter.

Went from an 08 Silverado 1500 Z71 with the 5.3 to Ram 3.6 eTorque and the Ram puts up almost identical numbers to the Chevy. The v6s of today are a lot more powerful than the v6s of the past and it does everything a normal person needs it to do. Don’t let the hardcore folks fool you, the 3.6 Ram is more than enough for most peoples needs. Tow a trailer, boat, small camper, it will do the job! 1500s with 7500lb towing capacity have been the standard for years…. this one just does it with less cylinders and less fuel. Very impressed by what this V6 can do.
How have you liked it? I'm looking at purchasing a Ram 1500 Reble with the 3.6 eToruqe next year at some point. I don't feel I have the need for the Hemi, I don't have a trailer or anything, and if I were to get one, I really would only want a small teardrop or pop-up camper. Like my Jeep it would mostly be a daily driver, commuting to and from work running errands. (going on road trips and vacation) I know Reble is over kill for offroad as my main use there would be forest service roads. (But I'd rather have it be over killed then get stuck or damaged from under kill, plus I really like the way it looks in "Night Edition" package with the two-tone hydro-blue paint. and looking at EPA it is rated the same 24 mpg highway as my Trailhawk 3.2 Pentastar and 19 city one mpg more city then the 18 on the Cherokee, and comes in at the same 21 combined, but with a standard 26-gallon tank i would have much more range then the 15.8-gallon tank in the Cherokee affords.
I guess some v6 are better than others I used to own a 2015 F-150 with the N/A V6 that truck was a 4 door 4wd and that motor had a really hard time moving that truck down the road especially in the winter time in 4wd going through deep snow no power.
@@Steven91992 Did it have a 8 or 10 speed transmission? all the Trans gears really helps multiply the power.
um why v6? how about gas saving especially when gas is almost 6 bucks a gal in so cal right now! if you dont need that power (i dont) I saved money on the tuck and the gas going forward. win win. The V6 with e torque standard has plenty of power and get up an go! and I can still tow my 6k pound travel trailer no problem. not loaded im getting 21-22 city diving easy and I get 25-27 hwy.. and Im mostly driving unloaded. really loving the gas mileage.. (and how smooth and quite it is!) I love it!
I'm getting mine tomorrow can't wait!
@@RunningThruLife Nice! Had mine for 3 weeks I love it.. best interior ever on a truck currently.. and the biggest interior.. the thing is so big inside I love it.. the cabin is super quiet.. I was surprised that the front fog lights light to the side when you turn the wheel at night.. kind of like my neighbors Mercedes 😋 it has the black headliner I love that too.. did I mention the comfort of the seats ? wow super comfortable front seats!! I like the looks of the truck outside but I really like it inside! Good luck with your new ram! Exciting!
There's nothing wrong with the V6 but the 5.7 hemi is actually pretty fuel efficient as well. I have a 5.7 hemi warlock and my buddy has the 3.6 warlock and we get pretty close to the same gas mileage.
The 3.6 is all the truck most people ever need. Period. If you know you need to tow a lot you're not looking at this truck and you know who you are, but for most of you this beast is plenty.
I always ignored them throughout the years. I had no idea they blew the midsize trucks out of the water when it comes to fuel economy. No need for a tacoma, when this gets over 25mpg, with a ZF8 and a box frame
Well said!
I got me a V6 2021 warlock
Living in the rockies, I wouldn't be caught dead with this Jeep Wrangler motor
@@mikekenner9218 some of us dont tow and are perfectly comfortable with the size of our members
I've always loved driving trucks and I've had several over the years (Ram, Silverado, F-150, Ridgeline etc...). I've just purchased a 2021 Ram Classic Express 4X4 with the 3.6L V6 with a 3.55 rear axle ratio. I'm not towing often, maybe 5-6 times in the summer (enclosed trailer 5'X8' & 1 motorcycle) but I also love to have a 6.5' bed to carry stuff, branches, wood, tools etc... when needed. I remember my first truck, a 1987 Chevrolet Silverado 2X4 with a 5L V8 "160 hp" which is far less than the 3.6L V6 with more than 300 hp in today's Ram. 😊
Camping right now with the basic 6 seat BigHorn v6. Towing a 5500 lb camper. Had no trouble going 67 mph or faster. I kept the speed at 64-66and engine was 3,000 rpm on the hills. I saw a solid 14 mpg. on the ride up here. Note I started at a lower elevation and ended higher. I started in south east Michigan and traveled to the Manistee area. The v6 is just fine. I felt the v8 would extract too big a penalty for the 90% of the time I am not towing. I easily see 22 mpg mixed city driving. My advise is if you need the hemi buy it. If you don't the v6 Pentastar is still a sweet heart.
Exactly the kind of info I want/like to hear. When I was buying my 2018 Ram my truck with the hemi it ended up being cheaper than the V6 I was originally there to look at and had a few other features I wanted. So I figured better to have more than I need especially if it’s cheaper. But next time I will shop harder to get a more reasonable engine for my needs. For the total life of my truck I’ve used the V8’s capacity for less than 2% of the total miles I’ve driven. I love the hemi, I can get 19 mpg in the summer on country roads and always have power in excess. 15-16 in winter. I would buy it again but want to try the V6 next time. What year is your truck/ do you have the eTorque? And if so how do you like it?
What gear ratio is your truck?
What gear ratio is your truck?
Mine is the 3.21.
I haul my 5500lb camper regularly across NJ through PA and upstate NY. Took it all the way out to the mid west on a big haunting camping trip. I bought the Ram1500 v6 etorque crew cab over the v6 Hemi. 13.5 MPG through mountains maintaining 60-70MPH. Very rarely have I ever topped 4000 RPMS (with 1 exception traveled through PA and forgot tow haul mode once at most I hit 4500 RPMs). 58k sticker price bought for 48k Fully loaded minus the airbag suspension. I invested extra money in a good weight distribution hitch. City driving I get 22-24MPG all day long. Drive the beach regularly on the Jerseyshore. V8Hemi has no use for me I will never haul 10,000lbs 😆
I worked for Enterprise until a few months ago and we got these as rentals and my God these are incredible trucks, I'm dying to buy one soon
I bought my 2017 used (previous owner was Enterprise), and yes, they are excellent trucks.
One caveat: Look at the gear ratio: If you get a 3.21, your max tow is 4400 lbs. 3.55 will give you a more normal towing capacity of 7,000 lbs.
@@tommiller5853 yeah Enterprise never buys anything with the intent to tow as it's not allowed in their rental agreements. So they don't bother paying extra for the different ratio, which I believe a $3000 option
@@tommiller5853 I'm planing on waiting for a 2500 Diesel, after watching Doug Demuro's review I'm sold on it
@@tommiller5853 i have a v6 with 3.55. Even with the 3.21 i believe you would have no problem pulling up to 7000 or so in a pinch. A truck with a 3.55 might slightly out accelerate you with same load. I guess if your under warranty and something broke while overloaded fca could dispute. But im Not sure why there is such a gap in towing between the two axle ratios. The only difference is the gear set
It’s not going to be any problems towing 7k pounds. Early 2000’s f350’s only had about 240 horsepower with their best engines and with only four speed transmission. If towing is your reasoning to buy a truck, you will get more life from a HD truck.

How do you get the dealers to bring the price down, what arguments do you give or how do you engage them?
if you drive a modern v8 or turbo 6 ford, the ram with a v6 will feel a little sluggish, but compared to v8 trucks from say 15 years ago, I think my 2018 4x4 quad cab feels way quicker than any stock 5.7 vortec or 5.4 triton or 5.9 dodge magnum while getting 40-50% better gas mileage. towing large loads may be a different story, the most I've towed is around 3k lbs, it had no problem at all moving that weight . the spunky little v6 continues to impress me
I'm going to have to take one for a test drive. I'm more than happy with the power of my gm 1500 with the 5.7 vortec so if this has more it should be worth considering. The vortec has around 60 more torque though
Regardless of whatever vehicle a person is driving...why is the world so hung up on speed?
That’s why, they made this V6 trim level. For people that aren’t hung up on speed
It's awesome how the truck dwarfs you 😂 , I'm used to seeing you zipping around in something smaller. Good review nonetheless 👍
The Pentastar V6 seems to be a good engine and if you aren't doing serious towing then it should be good for daily driving. Great utility and comfort and good gas mileage. The Hemi is nice but it's thirsty. I'm considering a 1500 or an F150 for my next vehicle.
V6 can tow 7,700 lbs with 3.55 gear ratio it tows my 3,000 lb lund boat perfectly
I liked the idea of the ecodiesel and the hemi, problem is they're both extremely unreliable engines. It's sad that the pentastar is the only one that's dependable. But if it gets over 25mpg, I may consider it
I know it's been a while but for anyone reading comments for info... the Pentastar V6 with eTorque does not get any more than 24mpg on the freeway. It does tow quite well when the weight is within it's limit (7790 lbs for mine) and gets great gas around town.@@SupramanTRD
That 3.6 has more power than a lot of v8s from the 80s.
hell it has more power than a lot of v8s from the 2000s, and some 2010s. The 2013 4.8L v8 magnum put out 310hp, this thing puts out 305.
@@patamaran I had an 2007 F150 4.6 V8 that put out 248 hp.
@@patamaran my old 2005 4.7 Dakota was 230hp and 250 ft lb. These v6 engines are killing it. My Cherokee 3.2 is 260 hp and quick with the 8sp transmission
Lovr the chrome
Why are you comparing the back up camera to Chevy higher trim. Compare that Chevy to Laramie
Why does youtube show me so many Canadian channels? It's like they don't want people in the south of the US to get any views.
I love mine! 2022 Bighorn with 50k miles. Everything I need it to do. Better driving expirencr than my 05 Z71 and better fuel economy!
They do ride good quiet, but to get it new personally would just get used denali for that price point. Got a 2015 GMC double cab base truck put 20 in Denali wheels all terrians, bed cover, tool box, weather tech mats called it a day bought 2 years ago for 17k. Has the 4.3 V6 has better torque than the penstar tows just fine but the drawback is does not ride as good and only has the 6 speed transmission. The bright side have it about paid for already.
This cracks me up! He comments how much "incredibly deep" huge amount of storage and adaptability the center console has (13:09), then complains about the pocket storage on the outside of the center console and how it's useless and will collect dust (13:52). Really? Every heard of a contractor using a clip board, or a traveling sales person using this to store his notebook? And no one uses "maps" anymore....do they? I guess you have to complain about something. I've driven F150s and Rams, Rams have it all over the competition, especially with interior design, comfort and storage, not to mention the ride quality of the rear coil suspension. The competition is "bouncy" and rigid to say the least.
You keep referring it as a Dodge, it’s a Ram ! lol
Yup, sure as certain powerful enough because your not pulling a tank or anything armored bullet proof. So do you need more power? When V6 Pentastar is more then adequate.
What song is that, anyone know?
My dude a big horn is not a work truck that would be the ST (that i have! 8( good review!)
What is wrong with chrome?.... It's cheaper more durable and easier to clean
Kind of funny how he says the Chevy truck has a better rear camera when every other TH-cam video on the Ram, and even the ones that are compared to other trucks all the people say the Ram has the best resolution!
This kid thinks that adjustable pedals is a rare and new thing? My ‘08 minivan had adjustable pedals..
Does the engine have hybrid eTorque (the start/stop thing)?
Yes, all the 3.6 L in the 5th gen have e torque
But it has a button to turn it off I leave mine off most of the time
Nice engine. Surprisingly you have to pay for $$$ packages to get usb in the back.
I'm 6'5" 350lbs and it's kind of a pain in the rear to squeeze into the drivers seat the door height is an awkward size for big men.
I'm 6'4 and 318lbs and I drive a 2019 ram quad cab with the v6 fits me just right but to be fair I was driving a kia sorrento before😂
It's a RAM... not Dodge 11:25
RAM is dodge bro.
They don't make reliable V8 engines anymore, now they all have the BS AFM system which means they can fail it anytime. This engine does not and if strap it to a dyno will probably make about the same power as your 5.3L Silverado will. Unfortunately it's the harsh truth. Yes the Hemi is going to make almost 90 more hp and well over 100tq but coming from a Chevy ownwer, I will not be buying another V8 truck from them. Also the ZF 8 speed is miles better than anything Chevy has to offer.
"The 3.6 is all the truck most people ever need." For groceries, picking up the kids and taking the dog to the groomer, everything you could do in a sedan, However, those that buy a truck for truck purposes and want to maintain highway speeds; the 3.6l sucks. If you're concerned about MPG you probably don't actually need a truck.
Why? I'm a contractor that doesn't need to tow but put on a lot of miles, the V6 fits my needs perfectly.
This literally makes zero sense at all.
Chrysler has the weirdest way to spec out a car. Usually most automakers won’t let you spec stuff like air suspension and all the other fancy kit until you go a trim or two above. Chrysler allows you to spec it almost any way on any trim, which makes for this weird ass Frankenstein of a lower trim v6 truck with some options that aren’t even standard in higher trims. The dealers or whoever spec something like this is stupid thinking people will pay 78k(B.C. taxes included) for a v6 truck with cloth seats. This system is probably hugely expensive to manage rather than the more cost effective trim tied to options system that other manufacturers have. Trucks like this will probably sit for a while until they are heavily discounted. And people wonder why Chrysler is losing money?
Do what? Being able to spec trucks with options you want is great and you can get way more features on Ram trucks especially on lower trims then you can get with GM or Ford. I hate leather on a truck and ordered my bighorn loaded out. Came out to 57K but I got the truck I wanted.
Wait what? You're mad at the fact that you can build your truck exactly how you want it???? Seems a bit redundant.

It's still made by dodge just re branded ram
@@michaelparrish1968 You are incorrect on this. Dodge is not a manufacturer of vehicles. It is a brand of cars built by its parent company Chrysler. Ram is the truck division. Dodge is muscle cars and SUV's. Its has been this way since 2009 when Chrysler split it up. You call it a Dodge if you want but >>>>>>> it's designed, built, Manufactured, sold and titled as RAM. I own one and sold it to myself.

Yeah, this truck makes no sense to me either. I think it fails in every aspect other than being a replacement for a ‘70s luxury barge(minus an oversized V8). But, I do appreciate all the work you guys put into your reviews.
ITS NOT A DODGE!!!!! Come on people, it’s a RAM. They changed the name in 2009. Don’t believe me??? Go to your nearest Ram dealer and tell them you want to order a new Dodge Ram, if the salesmen has any integrity, he will politely tell you they are called RAM!
If you look into other dodge cars. You can see that the interior screens are very familiar. Dodge and RAM have HEMI engines. So what tf am I calling it, Dodge RAM mf 🤣
@@firstnamelastname5540 yes look into other manufacturers also they do the same thing. But it’s not a Dodge, it’s a Ram. All cars carry over interior platforms etc. Ram is in the same company as Dodge, Chrysler, etc, same as other manufacturers. But in 2009 ‘Dodge’, ‘dropped’ the ‘Dodge’ name from their trucks and started calling them Rams and Ram only. Then a GMC truck should be called a ‘Chevrolet GMC’, or the Chevy truck, ‘GMC Chevrolet’, same company, different truck/vehicle. And yes so what if you call it a Dodge Ram, I don’t care, sorry if I was to harsh with my first response, I was just trying to correct something the Ram started in 09. It’s called a Ram, the company did a complete turnover of the truck and the manufacturer CHANGED the name to Ram, sorry.
@@fishin11 Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, RAM, FIAT are all owned by one company, if we are being factual. But RAM is traditionally called Dodge Ram because that’s where it originated from there for we call it Dodge Ram, because it was once called; you guessed it “Dodge Ram”. We will continually call it that. Still; It stems from the engine we own, “HEMI” dodge also use “HEMI” engines. The name changed but not the production if yk what I mean🤝
Yes your are right! It a Ram!
The 2019 Dodge Ram? Its not a DODGE! You should know that. Its a Ram. The name Dodge for the truck line was dropped over 10 years ago. Makes me want to not subscribe. Ram was separated years ago and left the Dodge name for SUVs , vans, and cars. Go out to the truck and try to find Dodge on it.

Too muck talking.
Why would you pay that kind of money for a v6 full size truck? Makes no sense at all
That is not the selling price!
Yeah I would rather have a v8 for the power and for the speed because I do mostly interstate driving and I pass a lot of slow people.
because it puts out over 300 hp, has good fuel economy, and not everyone wants a hemi... why are so many people hung up on the fact that their needs arent the same as other's needs?
That's because your stuck on stupid with the engine size ! It's an everyday truck driver with better fuel economy, upgraded interior, upgraded infotainment system, and still has power !
Stick to modded cars. None of these gay as ads.
The V6 is not for towing. Period. It has known oil filter adapter and rocker arm/lifter issues all which can total the motor easily.
68k and no big V8? Really? How stupid are people today. If you buy a truck with that much chrome then u are having an identity issue. A truck is for work. Sad.
