I have a 2018 F-250 and it doesn’t really downshift like a gasoline engine truck when I mash the accelerator. However I fell like it doesn’t even need to downshift because it pulls like crazy in whatever gear it’s in.
You can totally tell this guy is not a truck guy, he could hardly wait to wait geek out over the in dash JumboTron touchscreen! LOL! WHO CARES!! Lets here more about the power plant and capabilities of this rig! Surprised to not see a soy latte in the cupholder!
A lot of people don't know is that the Ram 1500 crew cab interior is bigger than the Ram 2500 crew cab... The Ram 2500 still uses the old cab from the previous generation but just upgraded the interior. The Ram 1500 uses a totally new cab. Only the mega cab has a larger interior.
One suggestion with the transmission. When you commented on the shifts. You should have put it in towhual mode and see if there's a difference. Love your channel been watching since you first bought the bra! 🤘😀
Can definitely see the effort being made to mix up your format but, for me personally, it felt a bit drawn out during the interior section. Some people will love that though I'm sure. Best of luck in 2020 bud 👍
@@MattMaranMotoring oh really, interesting. The difference was probably the fact it was a truck. Felt a lot more in-depth than a lot of the previous ones.
Only cons: The price, anything leather and that fact that the truck is blacked out 😐😕 I do find it amazing that people who buy blacked out vehicles act "shocked" when the vehicle starts to get scratches....and the scratches are white because the same people complain that "white" is boring.
You forgot to flip out your tow mirrors before setting off....like every other cummins Dodge owner pulling their ghost trailer through the local mall parking lots!! 😂
Nice review Matt. Thank you. However, I found it hysterical every time you showed that tiny table completely wrapped in a blue tarp lost in the bed of a 3/4 ton, 6.4 ft heavy duty truck bed. What was the intention? To illustrate scale? Payload? I hope you were really moving the table because if not, I'm not sure it added to the rest of the great content.
You forgot the in floor storage bins in the rear. I've been "building" 1500 and 2500 Rams on their website and I get a different price every time, even though I select the same options. Speaking of options, I hate how you can't get certain things unless you get a certain package. Examples: You can't get the power running boards unless you get Level 2. You can't get two tone interior with a Sport Appearance package. If you want the Adaptive Cruise, you need to get Level 2 Equipment Group. Level 2 costs $4,000 and only adds heated rear seats, wireless charging and the HK audio over the $1600 Level 1 package. Want tow hooks? You need to get them with a transfer case skid plate. Want the Snow Chief Group? That includes trans. case skid plate. Are you paying twice for the skid plate?
@@moro1112 they don't check mine, the inspector I go to has a deleted Cummins himself. Legislation does say purposely rolling coal for 30 seconds or more is a fine offence between 1 and 350 dollars.
Are you kidding 3:20 minutes take a look the carpet sticking out on the right! My friend get one $85K we look 6 different ram because they have carpet issues he have on the back they cut bigger where the seats bolted in the floor! Steering wheels leather pilling off and his truck back in the shop some suspension issues after 1800 miles...
My next truck but question should I get the bigger thirty five hundred with the dual lies or this one? I do like the Aisen transition that is not in this model. I want to tow a forty foot trailer. I am debating both it will be a Cummins if I get the twenty five. Now I live in Vegas so I have to get white. Which is better?
The transmission tuning has always been an issue with the late model Cummins Rams, most look to tuners for better transmission tuning. I own one and it was a great review!
I never actually seen any real issues with the 68RFE in later model Rams, just a lot of complaints from tweetie birdies. I actually think it's a really good transmission.
Chris - the transmission lugs and hesitates to downshift, it has low lock up pressures and the the weakest point of the truck, hence the reason tuners modify the stock perimeters.
@@brentstenslokken9258 Hesitate? Seriously, there's like only a 1,600 rpm torque window. There's no down shifting with a Cummins engine. It's all about boost. If you don't want lag and lazy shifts, get a gas engine.
@Brent Stenslokken Lockup pressures is more than adequate for the stock engine tuning. I've never, ever seen a problem with it, just with trucks that are abused or modified to hell. I don't know where you're getting that the lockup pressure is an issue. It's not. Also, it doesn't lug or hesitate at all, not unless you're towing without tow/haul. A transmission should be tuned more conservatively when it's paired with a low-rpm diesel engine because the torque is what you should lean on, not the transmission programming and higher engine RPM. You don't want a transmission shifting around as the boost hits, and you won't need it to when it does. Tuners can do whatever they want and people can say what they say, but there's no real evidence of issues with these transmissions. They're actually very strong. Again, I've never seen one break on a stock, properly maintained truck, and I'm surrounded by these transmissions in the industry I work in. The problems are the drivers not understanding that it's not race truck. It's not supposed be responsive or smooth. You're buying the wrong kind of vehicle if you're expecting quick down shifts and smooth engagement.
Matt, I think the footrest must be a car thing. I have only owned trucks my entire life, GM to be specific. I had to go look at mine and then look at pics online of my past vehicles, none of mine ever had a dedicated foot rest. Never really missed it or desired one. Been on 8-10hr straight road trips, no problem. Just kinda lay your foot there on the side is what I’ve always done. Saw you mention it in your gladiator review also. Must be a truck thing to not have one.
When the new Ram design was released I thought it looked good. But now I think maybe they didn’t go far enough because I already find it’s looking dated. When the 2nd Gen Ram came out in 94, it was a groundbreaking design and stayed fresh for years. This current iteration is handsome but not groundbreaking.
*"Why are you pointing out that the ride is stiff it's a heavy duty truck wahh wahh wahhh"* You Ram guys are ridiculous, both on the road and in the comment section. Matt's just being objective, like a journalist/reviewer is supposed to be, and pointing out everything he can about the product. He even followed up every time with something along the lines of "but it's a big heavy duty truck so it's something you would expect with that."
One day I'll have a diesel, although I'm partial to Chevy's. But I'm finding a lot of new vehicles have awful throttle response. I recently got a 2019 Silverado (5.3 with the 8 speed) and I love it but sometimes it takes 3-4 seconds to register that I'm hitting the pedal. It's horrendous. Aside from that though I'm enjoying truck life.(my first truck actually) I think after this lease is up a diesel will be next. 🤔 Great review as always!
what in the world was Ram thinking by putting the old steering wheel in this on the re-design? Sounds to me like they tried to merge the new 1500 with the old set-up. That wheel alone would make me walk away.
How are you gonna sit there a complain about the ride quality...its a heavy duty truck built to pull houses down "that's a joke" but you get the point.been watching channel for awhile definitely not one of your better views
Because they ride like shit. Just because it’s supposed to doesn’t mean he can’t say it. I own one just like this and even though it’s bearable for a HD pickup honestly it sucks. Nobody busts his balls for saying a mustang has a small trunk.
I dont think this is one of your better reviews, I've watched your channel for awhile now. You drove that nail in deep that you weren't a truck person, just do the review. How can you give it a minus for a stiffer suspension than the 1500, it's a heavy duty truck.
Generally, most people looking for this serious of truck know of the down sides of a HD's suspension. Dont get it twisted, still think the channel is great, just giving my opinion..By your last video I thought you were looking for critique...I think adding the view of your wife will be a nice change to the channel...
I like fords but with Ram’s new looks and technology they have bought me over
My goodness!! That Truck makes Matt look like a little kid next to it! Lol
lol
I love these Rams. The 1500 is at the top of my list for my next vehicle. Another great review, man.
8:21 RAMCHARGERS!
Backroad at 17:24
Matt: I gave it a lot of gas. Diesel engine: “YOU WHAT!?”
Just a normal saying
I have a 2018 F-250 and it doesn’t really downshift like a gasoline engine truck when I mash the accelerator. However I fell like it doesn’t even need to downshift because it pulls like crazy in whatever gear it’s in.
Mid 8 sec for 0-60 ain’t slow Matt - take it from us Aussies - Ranger Raptor - much lighter and smaller is mid 10... that is slow!

FINALLY A DIESEL REVIEW!!!!! Holy hell!!!
360 degree view are for rookies its a handicap future for the trucks

Great review. My favorite will be the Laramie longhorn with the night edition.
All his reviews r great
Only the Laramie and Big Horn come with the night edition

Handsome truck for sure but I don't need the big screen or the diesel engine, keep the videos coming sir. 6.4 would be perfect
Diesel is sometimes cheaper though
@@BobThe9534 gas is better if you live in the city and is like 11k cheaper
Waffles113 but Diesel is better if u wanna b louder
@@BobThe9534 ehh, you can make a 6.4 v8 pretty loud if you want to
@@Waffles11399 but u would probably have to modify it

I just like the setup of the flipped up mirror, I'm a Firefighter and it's more like my other truck.
Just Another Aviator they don’t know there ford owners.
Hi Matt. Nice vid. Liked before watching because I knew it was going to be good
These trucks are tuned for emissions, delete the emissions and with a tune they are a complete different animal, no more dead pedal and no turbo lag.

Rams have the best front end 🐏
And interior!
No, Rolls Royce have da best interiors
Air suspensions are overrated and break way to often... you are better off without it.
Looks like the same old body style ... I thought there was an update on this truck already
It works so, that's all tht mattered
Dodge is all about if it ain't broken don't fix it.Look at their sale numbers on most vehicles lol
@@integrafreak1 okay no wonder they're behind ...
@@kingishumble8939 They've actually moved up in the ladder of truck sales
@@kingishumble8939 they are rated number 1 truck and have been for years
When you delete it you get like 25+ MPG
Texas Patriot if you were to get a clean tune, no black smoke, is it hard to get caught in Texas for deleting? Plan on moving to Tyler.

Great review.
All his reviews r great
This is the ultimate truck . A lot of dough but one epic ride
Rented a Pacifica recently and pretty much had to floor it to get some downshifts happening.
Another great video Matt!
All his vids r great
Nice vid, soon vehicles are gonna have 20 inch screens...like Jesus it's crazy
The 2021 Escalade is gonna have a 38 inch display! lol it is crazy.

The old gen switches and cab design looks odd given that the 1500 is all new, whereas the 2500/3500 is just a refresh of the old model.
Because it is a stand between a true next generation move as they bring the heavy duty truck manufacturing back to the USA

COOL Review: 2019 RAM 2500 Laramie (Diesel)
Y’all remember when Matt was asking for people to pay for his mustang lmao

I only hate the real seat why the middle is smaller then the side's? I steel think 8 speed is much better. Very good review .
Y’all remember when Matt couldn’t afford to keep his car and asked everyone for money? 😂
Review a 2019-2020 6.7 Powerstroke

Interesting to see how these big diesels will compete with upcoming electrics. EVs have the HP and torque, but range could take a big hit when towing.
