RAM 1500 (5th Gen) Engineering Secrets

- Ram flew me out to Boulders Resort in Scottsdale, AZ to drive the all-new 2019 Ram 1500 truck lineup. I drove the Bighorn and Laramie Longhorn trims, in addition to the off-road Rebel. The truck features extensive use of high strength steel and a 225Lb weight reduction. With the exception of the 5.7L Hemi V8, this truck is completely new. I explain the features and enhancements that go into the engineering secrets of these new trucks. Why buy a BMW 5-series or a Mercedes E-class when you can have a new Ram Limited or Laramie Longhorn with a V8, air suspension, and Harmon/Kardon stereo for LESS? #ram #1500 #limited

Best new truck i've seen!
Thanks for watching!
This truck is number one on my shopping list.
Love the black Laramie long horn! That Brown and black interior is amazing!
Yup! It's my favorite too.
Great review, great truck
I'm shopping for a new RAM as we speak. Thanks for the reviews
It’s 2020 Nov 23rd. Still love this vid. Cheers
I am glad you enjoy it! I had a great time learning all about it.
Great job man! So much cool little-known information here. Thumbs up.
Thanks!
Very informative video. Thank You...,
Very informative video!
I bought my 2019 five days ago. I've owned many RAM's and this one is my favorite.
Congrats!
New Car Spin Thank you. Great video
I'm really enjoying your TH-cam. That's cool.
I like it.
Got a classic body 2019 bighorn today, nice truck, a step up from my last bighorn.
Congrats!
Well done 👍 ram!!
I need it in my life
Wonderful job !!! for the new Ram 1500 i live in Canada and just a few weeks ago I ordered one for the very first time the all new sport edition crystal black purl in color.... I built it myself dealership and I ofcourse it takes about 6/8 weeks to arrive when it does tell you all about thx.
Congrats!
I love my 2109 Ram 1500 Bighorn!
Congrats!
Well done
Thanks! This was my first media trip and I took many notes. I also had dinner with the chief engineer. He is a cool guy and we had a great conversation. A little fun fact is that he used to work on the LX platform (Charger and 300) all the way back to the Daimler days. He went into detail on the etorque engine and the air suspension. It was mind blowing.
i am going to be buying one of these trucks this month . is it a big difference with airbags.
It does look nice
Good job! I think it's time to trade in my 2016 Ram.
Something tells me that's a good idea. I hope Ram makes enough 1500 trucks for the demand. It's going to be huge.
Wow, that's a really cool BARN! PS..bagged one!
Congrats!
yes sir I seen three Laramie in the back today at the place were I got my ram from
Move over FoMo. New sheriff in town. Split screen is game changer.
As much as I love my 2020 RAM 1500, I am not loving the backup lights. If I didn’t have my camera, it would be quite difficult to see out the back. Other than that, FCA nailed it with this truck!
Do you know the date of the Eco Diesel version? I have a 2015 ED Laramie Longhorn and love it.. But the new one looks even better.. May have to upgrade once the ED version shows up..
I have been told "2019, but no specific timing yet."
New Car Spin hmmm... so maybe it’s a 2020 version? They will need a new transmission in order to keep the title of best mileage in class given the others diesel offerings.
Performance enthusiasts of the Ram 1500 brand do not care for e torque and should have the option to shut of the cylinder deactivation feature. The Ram 1500 should also be equipped with 4 or 5 pre wired auxiliary switches from the factory for light bars and winch
They are launching the 1500 with the regular HEMI V8. Etorque is a separate engine that will launch later this year. Good point about aux power.
Cylinder deactivation is easily shut off by either the trailer/haul mode switch on the dash, or using the gear limit switch on the steering wheel.
Asking Santa for a Laramie Longhorn for Christmas. Ive been really good I promise!
I got my limited Laramie longhorn and it’s great
There is another Easter Egg in the center console. There is a pop-up divider showing the design history of the various Ram trucks through the years.
Yup!
What did u think of the ride with the standard coil spring suspension vs the air? I drove both at dealers and couldn't tell that the air was worth the 1800 upcharge...
The coil spring in the Bighorn made for a compliant ride. I'm used to sports cars and sedans, so I'm very sensitive to the bucking bronco rear end in most suvs and trucks. The Bighorn only had the slightest bucking, and I've always been told by my uncle (he's a professional trucker) that the ride needs to be good both empty and loaded. So when I got into the Longhorn with air suspension, it rode like a Chrysler 300. No bucking from an unloaded rear end. It's very hard to notice if you're used to trucks. But from my perspective, if you daily drive a truck with an empty bed, it's worth it to get the air suspension. I'm not saying that the coil spring sucks. I'm just hugely impressed all around with the Ram and really think something like the Longhorn and Limited will impress everyone. The Bighorn will be a great truck, but I'm coming from a non-truck guy perspective.
New Car Spin great. I appreciate your non truck guy perspective! I have 2 1 ton trucks that ride nice for 1 tons. I am dying for my next truck to be a 1500 so I can have a truck that feels like a car! 1500s have been nice the last 6 years. This 2019 seems to be insanely nice!
The 1500 will be launching with the 5.7 Hemi V8, followed by the e-torque V8, then the e-torque V6. A diesel will be here in 2019. That's information directly from Ram.
New Car Spin thanks. That info has been out for months. More interested in how it drives.
New Car Spin any info on mpg of the Etorque ?
Just bought the 2019 Limited. My biggest complaint is the wind noise from the sunroof. Dealer has adjusted it several times and it didn't fix the issue. Any suggestions
Try a different dealer?
I bought the rebel but so far no noise from the panoramic roof... probably you have to go somewhere else
Different dealer.....i ordered my truck without a sunroof for that reason
Does "The office" have a lock on It like the F-150
The Tradesman trim, I believe, does. But there is a massive Mopar accessories catalog and I'm sure there's a safe available.
we had the twin cites autoshow this week and the ones on the floor had the e-torque systems on them. so why didn't the journalists get to try'm ?????
Because there will be a separate launch for those models. There will be V6 and V8 etorque engine options, but the truck will launch first with the Hemi V8. Diesel will be available by 2019.
I own a 2016 Sport I can’t understand why they only offer a sport model 2019 only in Canada and why they don’t allow the driver a on off option for cylinder deactivation
I'd rather have MDS than auto stop/start.
Here's why I believe MDS works better than stop/start th-cam.com/video/SKF3IjPOSRE/w-d-xo.html
STEVE ORTEZ u can deactivate mds. There's a sequence with the buttons on the steering wheel. I saw it on TH-cam. But u have to do it every time u start it up.
Beautiful Truck the only thing that I don’t like is that stove top knob as the gear shifter takes away the feel of having a center shifter like a sports car.
Grow up.
How come they don’t mention how if your filling your tires with air when you get to the correct PSI your truck will turn the flashers on and honk the horn to let you know ?
Could be a late introduction as it's a software feature and maybe still under development at the time?
I got my already...
I want an Eco Diesel, but the video is nicely done.
I have the 2017 Eco Diesel. It's getting lemoned in favor of the 2019 ETorque. The eco diesel engine died at 8,500 miles. I've heard a lot of similar stories.
Ah too bad. I wanted to see what they served for dinner :-)
Do all 19 Rams have active aero dams? And if so does it actually move?
Only on models without air suspension. Yes, it moves.
Am I the only one who thinks it looks like a ridgeline from the back? Looks nice dont get me wrong..
I got the new rebel and I just want to drive and drive and drive
Congrats!
Lol in the end.. the heart attack is near 😵
The sooner, the better.
Why not save an EXTRA 100 lbs by using an aluminum block.?...Beautiful truck
I remember back in 1993, BMW put an aluminum V8 in their 5-series (530i and 540i) and 7-series (740i/il) to compete with the Lexus LS400. BMW lined the cylinders with nicasil to add strength. Unfortunately, the sulfur in the US fuel ate through the linings, causing huge block failures. BMW had to repair all of them under warranty. Not pretty. Nowadays, we have ethanol.
New Car Spin tundra uses aluminum block and there engine is bulletproof just sayin. But yes this new ram is very nice
They are aluminum blocks.
Robert Brumley block is cast iron. Cylinder head aluminum
Thanks Mike I own a 2019 Ram with the 5.7L Hemi. I know what it has.
Did u just get a new gf?! I started watching for u but stayed watching for her. Lol
She's someone I met at the event. I hope we all get to see more of her, too.
I bought my 2015 lml chevy ccsb....i love the new ram, however these interiors are too nice for work trucks, and they are getting nicer...all these features are starting to get gimicky, and tacky...regardless of brand.
There will be a fiture where there are 3 types of yrucks: work trucks, luxury trucks, heavy duty trucks. People will always want what they cannot have.
Ever who decided to not put ventilated seats in the rebel for much as it cost needs to be smashed upside the head.
Just get the Power Wagon!
Pay more than $50k for a truck without an 8 foot bed and a Cummings then you're wasting your freaking money.
they turned this truck into a ugly truck just like all the rest thanks dodge you saved me a lot of money im kepping my 2013 ram
This 360 L Sirius XM is a pure joke. The CFA 2019 Ram 12" screen is a total waste of money, Almost from day 1, this system has been crashing thousands and thousands of RAM owners Sirius radios. I can see post going back to 2018 with people on Ram forums complaining.
In April of 2019, the bug hit me, and my Sirius has been down. With an active lifetime subscription so there is no issue with my subscription.
I've played the support game (That's a joke in itself) Nothing. SO this super cool technology that does not work, is not so super cool what so ever. Before you put down $45,000 - $65,000 on a vehicle , you might want to make sure the problem has been corrected. I would not take the word from FCA Dealers, not Sirius, check with RAM owners before you spend.
Lot of false hype over a system that is not supported very well, at least by my opinion that has not and will not work. They will not give a time frame for these issue to be correct either.
Interesting....
But.... They are 63K new??! People seriously pay over 900/A month for a basic truck with a touch screen and....what?
