This guy is so wholesome. 10/10 would shake his hand in church.
yeah he good to go...cool dude
What a mormon
Lol
I’m church eh you silly bastard.
I'm glad he mentioned that dial shifter. That's the one thing I don't care for either. It's not something that would keep me from buying the truck, but I would have definitely preferred a traditional shift lever like the Grand Cherokee still has.
Nice video - this guy is how I imagine an American.
I have a 2014 Ram 1500 4X4.Quad Cab with the 5.7 HEMI and 8 speed trans. and tow option. It is rated at 10,250 for towing. It pulls my 27' enclosed car trailer with my 69 Charger inside Extremely well. Total Trailer weight is 8,100lbs. Yes you know it's back there but aside from the weight, this truck doesn't even break a sweat. It's nice to pass a Ford F-150 or Chevy 1500 pulling similar trailers. Not Down playing either one but the Ram is Tough.
Love this truck but I agree with you I would love to have the old school shifter better than the knob
I have the express with the 6 speed and I def like it over the knob
I just bought this truck and super happy right now with it I have no regrets
I have with the Grey trim over the tires
I just traded in my 08' 1500 with the 4.7 for the 2014 1500 with the 5.7. This video increases my confidence that I did the right thing!
I’m in the same spot sold my 07 going to check on a 2014. I wish you luck.
Dave I love your reviews, you are very interesting to listen to and talk about all the important items that helps make a decision on a purchase.
One thing I really like about the ram, is the interior finish looks much nicer than the competitors. The nav screen also is better quality.
Also i agree on the knob gear selector, i did notice that it seemed easy and quick for you to change from drive to reverse in the video. I ran into a few 2013s that didnt have the 8spd, and had the shift lever, i wouldnt want the shift lever over having the 8 speed with the shift knob. I would rather get use to the shift knob. From what i read the 8 speed transmission is awesome
Nice review, I'm due for a new ride and this is at the top of my list...trucks are so much better than they were 10 years ago.
Dave, I like the review man!.. Keep it up the good work.
Really enjoy your reviews Dave, I would like to see more videos and your take on different trim RAMs. When will you be taking one of these monsters on one of your famous ORV park treks?
Great unbiased review, hope you'll get your hands on other Pickup truck brands to review. Thx
Excellent review. After test driving this truck and the comparable Ford F-150, this truck wins hands down. Ride and build quality are night and day. Will be purchasing this truck in the next 2 weeks.
I've had this model year hemi base trim since Oct, 2013. It gets very good milage. On p-rated factory tires. I now run a set of bf Goodrich ko2 same size as stock and fuel economy has suffered a lot.
I was wondering how the RAM will do in deep snow and mud compared to a Silverado or F150 with locking rear differential. Great videos very helpful and thorough. Thanks and keep em coming.
might just be me but that "off road" test is my driving on the highways on a good day in winter. our side roads don't look that good till middle of April most years.
I love the growl when he does the 0-60 test!
Great vid and Ram, uh, truck Dave...lol...am enjoying my new 2014 Ram Laramie Quad 4X4 in white same color interior as ur tester! Man I luv this RAM!
Keep doing reviews by your self, great job
my friends both own 13' and 14' ecos, and i was sold the day i drove my 14' RAM. got the sport, quad cab with the 8 speed/hemi. what a dream to drive. my 11' jeep wrangler drove more like a truck then my ram does lol. the 8 speed when crusing around town likes to shift often, but you will get used to it. it shifts nicely and quickly. when going down hill and you tap the brakes to keep the truck from taking off, it will automatically shift 1 or 2 gears to maintain your speed. very cool feature! i havent broken in my hemi yet and the vvt hasnt activated so on the highway the truck is kicking into 7th gear and not using the vvt. so hopefully my mpg will get better than the 16-17mpg im getting now. love this truck!
Not does Dave Erickson look like a "truck guy", he's also really cute too :)
You are the cute one.. :)
+Fernando M like a sir
GREAT VIDEO GREAT TRUCK!
Just bought a 2014 Ram Double Cab 5.7L Outdoorsman. Its Sick, 20" Black Rims, Lower Paint, Bumpers and Fenders. Loaded. Just sold my 05 5.7 Reg Cab SLT with 175,000KM(CANADIAN) and no major problems with it. Glad to hear Dodge is only getting better, ride amazing, looks sexy, and Haul Ass.
@4:10 you reach for the gear shifter on the steering column. I borrowed my friend's Durango and it has the same 8 speed transmission and I must have done the same thing a dozen times. Haha.
Great Job Dave. Will be doing a review on the Corvette C7????
"Oh blank" handles lmfao
Great video, beautifull countryside and real nice truck.
Hope so the truck its not so big for european streets.
Will be my next vehicle.
Greetings from Germany and God bless you all
I'm a Chevy/GM boy but I think ram makes beautiful trucks. Ram1500-3500 all beautiful chevy/gmc 1500-3500 all beautiful ford250-350 beautiful I think the f150 is sort of ugly.
Ram has the best looking 1500
Ford has the best looking2500
Chevy has the best looking 3500
But ram and Chevy looks good no matter what
I have this same truck with a black interior and absolutely love it. Do yourself and favor and go drive the Ram if your out looking for a truck, you won't be disappointed. Only gripe would be the shifter dial,m works well how ever aesthetically I prefered the consol shifter on my 2010.
Love your reviews.. irrelevant question! What's the music name?
Why is there no Column shifter? i find that dial thing goofy
Why nobody talks about the nice reinforcement dodge added to the back wheels on the axle. I like that since My 2008 truck is coming apart from a brake lock on the free way. . .Now Every time I brake and come to a complete stop. . . And than relsease the brakes to keep going I notice this little movement on the back wheels like if something is loose! Anyways.... Just wanted to comment on that cool reinforcement they did on this truck!
I have the same truck
I hate that they replaced the lever for a knob..
I have a 2010 ram with 230,00 miles on it. I have owned it for 4 years, changed the oil once. The only issue I had to fix was the WIN box (where the key goes in), and rusty rockers. I really do need to change that poor oil....
so nice I had to buy one
Forgive if it's been answered already but what computer is mounted there for the 0-60 tests?
Took my Ecodiesel in for an oil change and the dealership didn't have an oil filter in stock. RAM doesn't appear to have much of a spare parts inventory for this vehicle. The last time it was in the shop for the DEF system, the service manager told us that we were number 96 on a nationwide waiting list for that part. RAM has agreed to purchase the truck back from me. My best bet is to go with the Hemi instead and wait a few years for RAM to work the bugs out of this engine setup.
I bought a NEW 2014 ram 1500 in February, traded in my 2006. It has been in the shop 2 month now. I took it in for an oil change and they found a transmission leak. When they "fixed" it they found the torque converter needed replaced and they did. I drove it home and the next morning I was driving it to work and the transmission went out. I had it towed back in (less then 24 hours after I picked it up) and they "fixed" it again. This time it did not make it out of the shop before it went out again. Now they say they will be putting a new transmission. I WANT MY 06 BACK :(
what a nice truck ...loved one
Dave I think you should just go ahead and get you one. It looks good on ya...
Best truck out there. I love dodge with the hemi
justlive56 Its pretty sweet, no doubt. Dave
Just got one today. 2015 with air suspension.
Hey Dave I am in the market for a larger vehicle I currently drive a 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid, a great car but time for something different. I am looking at trucks and awd vehicles whether they are wagons, or suvs. I love your reviews so I thought I would ask for your opinion. I am in the Air Force active duty so i plan on traveling often and putting miles on the car and having it for awhile. I've looked at the Subaru Outback and love the size of the interior. I also looked into the Jeep Wrangler and the Dodge 1500 like in the video. Any suggestions? I'm kinda leaning towards a Tacoma...but I've been all over the spectrum with what I want to buy.
As someone that's driven a little bit of everything I can honestly say I love these new RAMs. I had a 2011 RAM SLT 4x4 Hemi, then I had a 2013 Dodge Charger R/T AWD, and then a 2015 Dodge Charger RT RWD. I recently traded my 2015 Charger for a 2016 RAM 1500 Big Horn. These trucks are ridiculously nice. Ride quality is better than my Chargers, it just eats up bumps in the road smoothly because of the coil rear suspension. It looks like a truck, sounds like a truck, and has great truck performance but it handles like a nice sedan half it's size.
The Hemi is a great engine, they've been out since 2003 and Chrysler has upgraded it over time constantly finding ways to refine it. Power is ample, and it's smooth and responsive. Sounds quite nice as well, even in stock form.
Not sure if you got around to buying yet, but I would definitely give the RAM a test drive if I were you.
What's the big deal with the dial shifter not being manly enough? Many new large commercial trucks have push button shifters, and even the column shifters on newer pickups are just long handled electrical switches. Just a matter of time and they'll all have them. Just something new to get used to.
lol lot's of guys get their rocks off to those "big manly levers", never understood it, a gear selector is a gear selector to me.
Ryan Grillo Exactly..."I want a big manly lever for my automatic transmission"...a bit of an oxymoron
nicely put
Honestly man, I miss the full stick-shift, and I'm a millennial! The first vehicle I ever drove constantly was a Dodge Ram with stick! So much fun, just feeling the raw power of the engine was exhilarating! The switch knob is simply pathetic, and I love Dodge Trucks!
you can still get stick shifts on trucks doofus
i got that shift lever on the staring column.
Dave, have you tested the Ram EcoDiesel yet? I'm interested to see that review.
CJ VN, I haven't but when it arrives locally, I will get first dibs :-) Dave
nice truck !
I agree. I hate the shifter knob
MY ECODIESEL STAYS IN THE SHOP FOR SENSOR PROBLEMS. FILING FOR RAM TO BUY IT BACK FROM ME. WAITING TWO WEEKS FOR PARTS IS NOT FUN.
Very nice truck, so much better than the ones we have here in the UK!!! Why can't Dodge make a right hand drive model???!!! We think the Hilux and D-Max is good but the Ram takes it to another level!!!
Yup! I agree that little cheesy turn dial feels out of place!
personally I don't like camera in the tailgate where its at. if you get the tailgate down to actually haul something since all the beds are small now a days then you cant see anything
dave erickson does look more like a truck kinda guy
Bransel Bennett I think I'm more of a truck guy too! Dave
I ended up getting an f150 xlt vs the Dodge Ram. So much more room for passengers in the backseat in the ford.
Ah yes thats where I "put my hydration"!
He got the Tow Caps backward lol
is it true that the knob shifters are unreliable
Hi Dave...did you notice wind noise in door? I bought a 2013 Laramie but think I have some wind noise
call your dealer, there is a recall on the weather striping in the driver door, mine got replaced during a oil change one day when i took it in, and i didnt even have any problems out of it.
WarmSoftKitty Yes, yes it does. How do you treat yours when it hurts?
You get used to the shifter pretty quick it doesn't even bother me anymore
Yeah I don't get why people complain about it so much. My wife's Chrysler 200 has it, and my new 2016 RAM Big Horn has it. Took some getting used to going from the Electronic Console shifter in my 2015 Charger, but once you get used to it, I actually find it kind of nice. Cleans up the interior, and it seems to function quite well.
I like it.
You forgot to mention the "ram box" on this :(
This truck did not have it.
I have a 2014 ram with the shifter dial, honestly I like it. Small, and out of the way. Doesnt take up space that could be useful for other things. With regards to it being not truck like, or not manly enough, its an automatic. A real manly truck would have a manual transmission, and you cant get those anymore...
miss those days.....
Something he also forgot to mention was that the 6-speed comes with a center shifter, and the Heavy Duty models come with a column shifter. So the rotary shift feature isn't necessarily a requirement.
you can get a stick on the RAM 2500 and 3500's
Dirtkid98505 I do wonder why anyone would want stick on a 2500 or 3500 truck, since you lose out on 200ft-lbs of torque vs the automatic. which on that sort of vehicle, one would figure it'd be fairly important to have.
Spinal2111 I always liked a stick on a diesel and towing because it allows you to be more versatile when driving, like mountains, hills, constant speed, etc.
What trim is this?
look at all the gems that won motor trends car of the year in the past, such as the 1980 chevy citation or the mustang 2, but the best was that chevy vega, hell of a car. I checked out list and the only good one was the 68 gto.
With HEMI power comes great responsibility..
I want one. Won awards back to back
...also...subscribed!
Napoleon Dynamite was from Idaho right?
My dad has an old dodge ram, it's 14 years old and still running...
Just got a 2014 ram 1500 reg cab short bed , hemi and all , love it , chevy cannot build a std cab or forgot , dodge lots of room behind the seat for things etc . My shorty 4 x 4 hemi powered , good mileage and performance at best 17.5 city and 23.5 hwy mpg empty no tow . great truck 8 speed tranny does it all I think . duel exhaust lets the engine breathe .
Anybody know the music beats @ 4:40
The thing about having those duel exhaust tips out the back, carry a boat for about an hour driving around tell me how that exhaust looks on your boat.
Then don't get dual exaust
Love the truck, hate the knob shift
are there any negatives driving on 4w auto on dry roads?
no
i got mine not as nice as this one but still a great truck. i was more concerned about the engine, i wanted the hemi. mine is a stripped down version. just the basics. pw ps ac mp3 jack 4x4 20 inch rims. but i can tell you one thing mine has way more leg room in the back, and i have an extra seat in the front. 3x3. love it, the thing is a gas hog, 90 bucks to fill the fucker up. thank god i don't have to drive far. since i filled it up the 90 bucks I'm on 2 and a half weeks on the same tank and have a quarter left. still a great truck. i hope this is the last vehicle i buy.
Name of song playing?
it's fair to mention some negative things about it I mean every truck must have some disadvantages I'd rather if u mention some...greeting
Hey Dave do you prefer the ram 1500, Silverado, or f150?
+Sonographer0699 Depends on the year.
+Everyman Driver
2016?
+Agent. K.
The ram that doesn't have air suspension
Agent. K. Yes it does
Lol there is no snow lol.
I know this truck has won motortrend truck of the year etc.....but shit..dodges have been known to mess up mechanically.... Does Anyone have any input on the long term reliability of these trucks???? Cuz there sooooooo sexy
Yeah I'v owned Dodge most my life and there pretty bullet proof trucks engine and durability wise.... and there fast as FUuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Ty Browning
agree with Ty Browning i had the 3 brands of trucks and dodge never gave me any problem, my last dodge had 200k miles and no isues in all that time, and i im a very demanding driver on and off road and towing my boat also
Despite what most people say. They have actually been much better overall since Chrysler has taken them over. I bought a 2012 Dodge RAM 1500 4.7 V8 and I beat the shit out of that thing up in the northern snow. It has held up and I have never any issues with it.
I am on my third Dodge. My first one had over 200,000 on it before I sold it, still ran like new and rode like a dream. 2nd one almost had 200,000k when I sold it but that 5.9L loves gas. On my third now, Bought it with 140,000...Almost at 175,000 now... *knock on wood* nothing has broken on it. If its as reliable as my previous dodges I have nothing to worry about. Dodges are actually very reliable and people who say they aren't are most likely fans of other brands. My friend had a 2004 ram Hemi 204,000 miles on it before he sold it, bought a BMW and within 1500 miles of owning it the engine started on fire. Food for thought...
cool thanks man... its just that i see issues with the 2013 ram on youtube... search "2013 ram problems" little things like that shouldnt happen .
Ram trucks are awesome! FIAT ALL THE WAY!! Did you see that interior?? BEAUTIFUL TOUCH BY THE ITALIANS !!!
Where is the diesel?
Its supposed to be released but haven't seen a single one!
Put some BFG All Terrain TA/KO2's on there. I did. 100% better.The Stock Goodyears Suck.
the stock Goodyears are junk. I put a set of Destination AT's on my truck
I guess it was bound to happen, soon everything will be AWD computer controlled. Even front wheel drive vehicles with traction control are almost as good as a 4WD on the regular road.
I we'll buy this car
I want one.
Was this truck a 3.55 or 3.92 axle?
3.21 gears .... I looked it up at the dave smith website and viewed window sticker!!
Sooo he is 5'7?! Lmaoo wow that helps for showing room in the backseat ...NOT!! Lol
Johnny Jixxr he’s 5’11 it’s a 5.7 liter
I find it's ironic that the diesel engine is only available on their high trim $50k plus models and no deisel offer in their lower trims $30k.
Diesel is offered in all trim levels (slt , tradesman, big horn ect...)
That's not what my local dealer told me ..
Your dealer lied all trims have it look on the website
Is the 3.6 pentastar engine gas or diesel? Says online gas
3.6 pentastar is gas only, the ECO diesel is the 3.0L v6 option
are you guys relareed TFL car channel?
jack5001ful We are distant cousins twice removed "-)
i love the new dodges and i heard they really fixed up their engines but i still wont buy one until they fix their wiring problems.
what problems?I thought ford is king of that department!? after all are f-150 from 99 just decided to explode in the driveway last year. truck was mint and low miles.. my 02 ram 1500 has never had any electrical issues wrong with it.
Dodge and chrysler have a huge history of having alot of transmission problems and electrical problems to the point where they turn into lemons. ive owned an 05 dodge ram and a 98 dodge ram. i rebuilt the transmission three times on the 98 and my 05 always had the check engine light on, everytime we replaced a part another problem would occur. i owned a n 02 ford f150 and the only problem i had with that was the gaskets.
My 2011 has over 100,000 miles on it and haven't had any electrical problems so far. However I think the all the truck brands are probably wired pretty good now a days.
out of 360k collective dodge ram miles i can say i have NEVER had wiring problems. heck i havent had any problems!
we need an SUV version of this beast
No
If u r truck has 4 doors and a box smaller than 8 feet , I got news for ya , it already is an suv
I've had my dodge at 7.0 0 to 60. and I wouldn't buy nothing from Dave Smith better off to go to Dishman dodge better deal better financing
My dad just got a 'ram 1500!!!'
Why does everybody call it a half ton? A ton is is 2000 lbs half of 2000 is 1000 not 1500
P.s. I own a 1500 and love it but I still am confused why people call it a half ton
The Ram is a good truck, but I still think Ford offers a better and more diverse product.
how much does this truck go for in todays day?
david moral you could pick up a nice 14' Laramie for 35-40k
I guess thats the "off road" on road test?
a truck..... owner lmao
