Nice video. I want to mention a couple things.
1) the extra two gears have nothing to do with the Chevy running lower RPM in the top gear. The 10th gear ratio is 0.64:1 and for the Ram 8th gear is 0.66:1. So that’s pretty close. The difference is strictly read end gearing.
2) Chevy has always been better than the other two in lower to mid trims. You can say what you want about the look, but features wise it’s no comparison. An LT will almost always have dual zone climate. Always a smart key (since 2019). And always the nicest available infotainment screen. With the refresh they have just extended that lead. It is worth mentioning that Ford has greatly improved the XLT options but wow are they expensive when you get them.
Thanks for sharing and to your point, the RAM did have a 3.92 rear compared to Chevys 3.23.
The Chevy interior hasn’t always been better but it is now for sure. I think for what you’re getting, the Chevy is the most cost effective without options 👍🏾👍🏾
So does Utah just always look like a beautiful painting everywhere? Some of the snow-capped mountains that I've seen in your videos are mind-blowing to an East Coast guy like myself. Great video, as always
Bro, when I first drove out west, I didn’t have words for what I was seeing. Montana is almost as beautiful but it looks fake when you first see it lol! Thanks 👍🏾👍🏾
Duramax all day long. LOVE my 2021 LM2 Silverado
Great review video. I have the 2022 Chevy Trail boss with the LM2 and love it! The New one I'm told you don't really notice the upgrades. The LM2 has been around almost 4 years now and really no big issues with them.
Totally agree! I have lm2 and my cousin has the lz0 and there is no noticeable difference except he paid more😂 just marketing
You could go test drive the new one just the way I did! Nothing new is felt
I just picked up the Chevy a few days ago, and it's a Turbo Deisel.
Congrats bro!!! Wait til that engine breaks in, you’re gonna really love the MPG’s 👍🏾👍🏾
I'm a fan of ram myself but I gotta say GM did it right when they put that inline 6 diesel in there
In-line 6 FTW 👍🏾
I am loving that Chevy! Great information 👍
Thanks!!
Awesome review, can you provide more 1/2 ton towing reviews? Most of us are weekend warriors with family campers. I have a hemi e-torque, mpg is horrendous.
Thanks, I will start posting more towing videos this year for sure 👍🏾👍🏾
GM needs a 36-40 gallon fuel tank to get the long maximum range or go back to the 1980s style dual tanks on each side for cross country range💪👍⛽
I like the touch screen layout on the GMs better
It would be definitely be a gm product for me too!
The baby Duramax is a beast for sure!
What was the rear axle ratio on the trucks? The Ram Ecodiesel has two different with massive differences. The mpg differences between the 3.21 and the 3.92 can be up to 4 mpg.
I agree. This was not a fare comparison of the two trucks in my opinion. Personally, I think the chevy interior is cheap. Oh, and by the way, my 2020 big horn ecodiesel has dual climate control. And anorher thing, what were the gear ratios of each truck? And towing comparison? This test is bogus in my opinion.
The GM had a 3.23 and the RAM had a 3.92
@@JB_WhoWork I kinda thought so on the Ram with the rpm’s you were at. 5thgenrams did a video a few years ago comparing two ecodiesels with different axle ratios and found a 4 mpg difference
@@houselog442what Ram axle ratio got the best mpg? The 3.21 or 3.92?
GMC at4 with the baby duramax, my go to truck for sure
I ran into a guy with the Duramax at the gas station yesterday and said he loves it, averages 22mpg
That’s not hateful for a truck 👍🏾👍🏾
I can average 24 in the city, 28-29 on the highway without even trying. Best mpg I’ve gotten on the highway is 36.
Update: as of 4/25/2023, average highway mileage is up to 32, with best mpg at 41.
Love my 2020 RAM. Outstanding mileage. Drives like a Cadillac. 40k miles so far, no problems. On a cost comparison, the Chevy is way expensive. I paid $42 out the door! 4x4 crewcab 3rd gen
Tomorrow I will go to the dealer to see one trail boss 3.0 👏😊
Love my 2020 ecodiesel. 26mpg average and sometimes even higher. 95,000km on it and counting
That’s awesome!
Test the hemi as well. Will be interesting for sure.
I own a 2020 ecodiesel and my previous truck was a 2017 Hemi Ram. There's no comparison when it come to mpg. Both trucks had the same trans & gear ratio. On a good day, my Hemi go at best 17mpg. My ecodiesel my best is 29.8 mpg. Both had the 3.92 gears.
Will do 👍🏾
@@DBFSailor That’s good to hear. It sounds like these will eventually be the majority of the half ton segment if they can lower these ridiculous prices.
Eco diesel is being discontinued
Didn’t Ram have to do a buyback of its ecodiesels a few years ago? Are they made by Fiat?
Dmax has an outstanding reputation for reliability. EcoDiesel not so much!
The eco diesel has gotten better but I think I would choose the Duramax too 👍🏾
Apologies if I didn't catch it in the video but, it looks like the Chevy was a 4wd. Was the Ram?
Also did the Chevy with the a full tank of gas vs the Ram with basically no gas and it still blew it out of the water 0-60! Go Chevy!!
Yup, the Duramax has more hp/tq and it shows!
Dodge still has the Eco Diesel but only in the Jeep Gladiator
The computers are not that accurate. TFL does these MPG test and many times the Ram has been overrated after they top them off and calculate from fuel used! The GM's are typically underrated ! I think real world test the way TFL does these test is more accurate! Don't get me wrong, I love your reviews 🙂
Whenever I do my mpg runs, I notice that when you are consistent without idling, stop/go traffic, and consistent stop/starts the computer is pretty accurate. You can go back and watch my real world mpg runs and I confirmed this a few times. Thanks 👍🏾👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork I'm sorry to clarify "real world" I should have said "old school" method of actually topping off the truck , driving it a specific distance, then topping it off again to see how much fuel was used divided by the mileage. Almost every vehicle is off compared to it's computer, Some are overrated some are underrated. I get with your reviews that you are limited with each vehicle, but that IS the most accurate. From what I've seen the Ram has always been overrated. I am in the market for a 1/2 ton diesel and both of these are on my list, but I'm just sold on that in line 6 design of the Chevy. I will test drive both. In the past the interior was the deciding factor and the Ram won handily, but now that Chevy 🙂
Topping off the tank after using only few gallons of fuel is far from accurate.
@@benjaminwayneb How so? It's simple math, genius! It's called "MPG" When you use actual volume of a liquid (Gasoline) and drive a certain distance consuming such liquid, then filling up to the original capacity divided by distance that gives you MPG!!!!! Your computer in your car is NOT that accurate, research this buddy, it's all over the internet ! You can't prove mathematics wrong.
@@MrJeffyb69 There's an air pocket designed into the fuel tank and filling until the nozzle clicks off in inconsistent at best, this method is OK. if your emptying the tank and refilling but on shorter trips when using only a few gallons it could easily be off by a quart or more, a quart difference in a few gallons is a 12% error in the MPG number.
Chevy for the win because it accelerates faster. Accelerating at the same speed Chevy would have even won on mpg.
The belt driven oil pump on the Duramax was a fail in my opinion. Transmission has to be pulled to change at 100k intervals.
Yea I was surprise they didn’t change that with the updates 👍🏾
200 thousand miles on the updated 1.
150k on the LM2 and 200k on the LZ0.
The Ram has nothing on this Chevy
The 3L Duramax Never Fails,Give It An A+,It Is My Favorite Engine.
I agree and I hope it sticks around for years to come!
I wish I would’ve gotten one instead of my 5.3 in my 23 rst
Yeah I agree that the fuel tank size is ridiculous. I'd probably have to drive them and see them both as an overall package.
That’s the only thing that keeps me on the fence with GM 1/2 tons… 24 gallons is good for a diesel but man it would be nice to get 9 more gallons 👍🏾
My body can go about 250mi between stops (I usually just top off the tank at that time). Hats off to you if you can do the 500-700mi between stops 😎👍
@@brians.1357 Can easily go 550 miles or more per tank if I drive it to empty. I don’t let my fuel level get below 1/4 tank, though.
Most I got on my dmax is close to 650 was on fumes tho. Never doing that again.
What's the price difference? You need to compare a level 2 Bighorn or a Laramie, not the base Bighorn. The Base Bighorn compares with the Custom.
why would u compare different trims? terrible test that is meaningless! why would you not compare a rebel or higher level vs the chev?? And you never mention final drive ratio...
I will never own a fiat branded vehicle lol
Yeh, you'd never see me in a Maserati or Alfa Romeo. can't afford it.
Why? the Eco-Diesel is a great little engine, that was never the issue with the RAM. It has always been the Bosch CP 4.2 HP fuel pump. If you run your Eco-Diesel under a quarter tank of gas, air gets into the system and the pump disintegrates and sends metal all through the fuel injection system. My issue has been with Stellantis, I filed my lemon law back in January of this year, and I have yet to have them honor it.
I have the 2nd gen eco. Should I keep the fuel above a quarter capacity?
@@Vziera if it has the Bosch CYP 3.2 high pressure fuel pump yes.
@@jackwhite1742 any way around this? How about replacing it with s&s high pressure pump?
EcoDiesel is an awful engine.
