Dude, 2022 ram 1500 new body. Ran out of gas in middle of 45(tx-hwy) in 2 o’clock traffic time,while switching lanes, first time ram owner, I couldn’t get the truck to switch gears, had to be towed because cops were called and were told there was a roll over, then called again saying their was a wreck, I’m subscribing, immediately helped with 1st tip. Thank you bud.
I have a 17 sport, it’s one of the sublime green rams and my favorite feature is the fold out platforms under the rear seats. It’s absolutely the most convenient feature for grocery shopping or anytime we have to carry anything that we don’t want to haul in the bed
If to haven't had a problem; cool, but normally rolling up "hot" wires is frowned upon. Maybe, that's just for bigger extension cords (?) Great video. I'm looking for more. I hate this computer bloatware in my Ram Promaster.
Preston a thousand thank yous for your OH you didn't know video's. We were having issues with interior lights not coming on when we opened doors, and were looking in the manual, couldn't find a solution, so told my husband I'm looking on Preston's channel. And sure enough just looked at this particular video, and sure enough, I had found out that I had accidentally turned the dome light toggle switch off!! As soon as I saw that on the video, I knew that I had switched it off when looking to turn on one of those small lights!!! You are our go to guy for explaining and showing how to do it!!!!! God Bless You!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family, and thank you for putting these videos out. Keep these great videos coming. Thank you again!!!!!
The Tip I learned from my 2003 Ram 1500 Laramie Quad-Cab 4x4 5.7L by accident is that if I ever forget to turn off any Interior lights and even the Headlights (even though the Headlights have a chime that goes on letting me know that they are still on after turning off the truck), say I'm in a hurry and don't turn them off. After a brief period of time any lights that were left on will automatically turn off after about 5-10 minutes. I don't have to worry about my battery being dead the next morning, as soon as I enter the truck the next morning I will see if I left any lights on after closing the door, and when I turn on the ignition the chime for the Headlights starts making noise, I have never had a dead battery.
5 months ago I bought my first ram 2019 quad cab rwd, low mileage, 8600 at the time of purchase, but I learned last month that on your key fob with the remote start button, you can shut your truck off pushing it, I did it twice just to be sure that was the case lol 😂, good video, now I've got to check out the bottom of my rear seats and the paper clip
@@stonefaced4578 well, the majority of my driving, basically 💯 % is highway, I deliver parts to paint and body shops in the west Texas area and didn't see the need for 4x4, however, my next truck purchase will most definitely have 4x4 lol, plus 4x4 takes away from the payload of the truck, it's my first truck purchase in 25 years, 1994 was the last time I bought a pickup

Nice video! I didn't know about the first one there. I knew there had to be a way to put it into neutral but didn't know how. Now I know, just in case!
@@prestonflanikensellscars9640 unfortunately if the electric e-brake is on, and the truck don't recognize the key fob, u can't get it to release. So pulling the tab to get the truck in neutral won't work well with the rear tires locked up. Ram didn't realize that one haha.
Great video my man! Hell, I didn't know most of these. I have a 2021 RAM 1500 Night Edition. Request: Video for the RAMs with the larger screen and use Andriods. Much Thanks!
My back head rest don't have the nifty button to drop them down. So I took the headrest out. Also took bulbs from rear cargo lamps as my keys don't give me that option. Of course mine is a 19 classic. Great to know about release for towing. Thank you
Definitely don’t use that transmission release for towing. That’s more of a “I’m stalled in the middle of the road and need to push it out of the way” use case. Towing purposes require the transfer case to be in neutral.
@@prestonflanikensellscars9640 The one you just demoed is much like my 2023 Bighorn 2500, so you covered much of it. I'm a first time RAM owner after 35 years of F150s, so it's taken a bit to get used to it. The most frustrating aspect has been the expense of rear floor leveling kits, so I'm making my own.
Thanks for the great video Preston. Would you know where to find a complete list of U Connect voice commands? I’ve never seen anything so poorly documented before. Same as the software updates. My 2022 received one on the weekend but I have no idea what features were added or changed or even what the software version changed to. Thank you.

A RAM Warlock is on my PLEASE have list 😅 Currently driving a Ford FG XR8 Ute, which pretty much has the same power output, both in Horsepower & Torque as the 5.7 litre RAM There are a fair few things I LOVE about the RAM Warlock. The one thing that sticks out the most is the interior space 🙂 My only concern is RAM trucks are not exactly Car Park friendly ??? Our average longest vehicle is around 5.3 Metres the RAM is another 500mm / 20 inches LONGER ??? This is only thing that concerns me the most ?? Thanks for sharing the tips, hopefully they will come in handy 👍👍
The warlock isn’t worth it. I wanted one too. It’s an express with an off road package. I had an express. Wasn’t a good truck. Get a rebel if you want the off road look. You need to get a big horn or better with a ram for it to be worth while
I have a 22 warlock, and I wish I had bought a big horn. 50 k gor a truck that doesn't have power seat or even radio controls on the steering wheel. It looks good but for 50 k I'm not impressed.

Hi, maybe you can help me. I have the following problem with the RAMBox on my 1500 Ltd Model 22. Until a few weeks ago, the RAMBox could be opened when the vehicle was locked and you only had to approach it with the key fob. But now suddenly you have to unlock the vehicle first in order to unlock the RAMBox. Both sides behave the same. The multifunction tailgate at the back can still be opened and closed in the same way when the vehicle is locked. My RAM dealer has no idea how this is supposed to work and also doubts my version of this function. How does it work with your RAM?
