3 regular guys reviewing what is interesting to other regular guys. That’s why we like you guys so much! Keep it up 👍
I paid $35,000 for my 2019 Ram Big Horn/ Long Horn with the Sports Package, same center console as the Limited, 8" and 1/4" screen, towing package and 5.7L Hemi. The manufacturers suggested price was $41,000.
The 8.4" UConnect still serves most of us the best. It's big enough for most of us and still leaves all the nice dedicated HVAC controls in addition to the toggle switches at the very bottom. It's not an expensive option by itself, and that's the one thing I'd need that that Tradesman doesn't have. I wouldn't buy a Ram or another other truck over $40K that has a base screen (even Ford with a bit larger base screen).
The leg room is wonderful with Crew Cab, but it's just an expensive option. Those of you that are wondering how this truck is that expensive -- that's like a $3K option up from Quad Cab, which is $4-5K up from regular cab. The base price (true base, not like this Tradesman) is going up on 1/2-ton trucks quickly because $30-$35K the market demand isn't very high for them, and standard features and technology is constantly going up. The standard trans on all Big 3 base trucks is at least a 6-speed auto... years ago, it was a manual trans which tend to run almost $2K cheaper or those crappy 4-speed autos. The number of possible build combinations is going back up as well (it was going down for awhile after the 2008 Recession), which increases manufacturing costs. As nice as it seems for Ford to offer 6 different engines, that extra cost is passed on to EVERY customer but it's just that -- an extra cost to be able to source that many different parts, run that many different assembly lines, and put that many different engines in just F150 alone. I know it's actually a pretty quick engine, but I don't think that two turbo V6's makes sense (besides an up-tuned one for Raptor), so the 2.7L V6 should get dropped for a ~2.6L I4 turbo, similar to what GM has done. This would be practical to use on Ranger and all the CUVs and SUVs at least up to Explorer. Heck, it might sound crazy now, but I wouldn't put it past Ford to follow suit to what Volvo did with their new 2.0L I4 and make a turbocharged-supercharged engine.
Andre you slipped in the that's what she said then came back with 3 inches surrounded by rubber. I literally lost it. LMFAO!!!!. ok.....buy the tradesman for me and not lease the limited because I wouldn't use it to its potential.
we cant see the interior with the camera settings
$44k and base truck shouldn’t be in the same sentence.
Joseph Whiskey Beale it should be around 34k
Remember when ram was the cheapest.
I'm also wondering how/why one my buddies had a new big horn edition with a v6
@@dodge8802 fuel economy?
@@foxwithshades7080 in a crew cab 4wd short bed truck I dont think your main priority is fuel economy?
We just gonna ignore the "Andre, I think you need to switch to decaf"
"Yeah, you're a little excited, bud."
Lmao that shit had me rolling. They're right though, wtf is Andre on? 😂
You guys are funny. You each have a slightly different perspective as to how the review should go. I hope you continue to be friends and continue to let each of your personalities, however different from one another, shine. *Please compare Hemi e-torque against 'without' e-torque.
as some one who works "at an oilfield" leather is something you want it's easier to clean and maintain than cloth, cloth holds on to dirt way more than leather and also tends to rip more than leather.
Absolutely, vynl or leather, you can at least wipe the crud off of it. Cloth... it all just becomes part or a really filthy stinky interior. Ever try wiping crude/invert/mud out of cloth ... NOT Going to happen ! 🙄 clearly they have never used a truck for work.
I watched this last year when I had a 2018 Tundra Sr5 with cloth interior and no upgrades really. I said I would never spend that money on a luxury truck... less than a year later I have a limited Ram 2020 and I could only be happier if I had the higher axel ratio for towing a boat I want that's close to the max on my configuration.... The ram interior has to be experienced in person to be appreciated! It blew me away and felt worth the price. Plus the security features are incredible! In a little over 1k miles I've had 2 times where the truck slammed on brakes just before me in close situations. It's comforting driving my family knowing we have those features in case I make a mistake or get distracted by the kids. It's funny how fast things change and I'm looking forward to seeing what trucks do 5 and 10 years from now!
We have a 14 dually limited mega cab 3500. Thinking about trading it in so that we can get the advanced Safety technology on the 20/20 in 3500 Dooley and next time I will get the 8 foot bed on a crew cab even though I love the mega cab. How do you like the lane keep assist and the Stop & Go adaptive cruise control
Roman nailed it on truck discounting. If you shop around, do the research, join an online forum, you can save thousands. I just bought a new JL Rubicon Wrangler and saved $7k+ off MSRP. Online forums are your friends.
17:15 “I prefer the rubber anyway”.........”That’s what she said” 😂
Im actually dying of laughter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 nice one
Love the buddy reviews . Keep up the good work from Nashville Tennessee
You guys are a fun bunch!
Loved the review 😉👍
Love these videos . You guys do a great job reviewing truck and other velicles.
I love these reviews!
Omg I love the limit with the painted bumper!!
🙂
Real like the formate of this series of videos. Great job guys. 👍🏻
Keep doing these kind of reviews!!!! Also, I look forward to a long term test on Dodge/Ram products. I want to see if FCA/RAM has turned the corner in the reliability department.
170k on our 12 year old Ram still running great 🙌 I see a lot of high mileage Rams still on the road.
I love the way y'all did this review
I have a 2017 XLT super crew with 45,000 miles on the 2.7. IT WILL FLY and gets 21 mpg around town, if I don’t put my foot in it. I’m religious about oil changes. It has been completely trouble free> I love every day I spend in my truck and it works every day on Construction sites. I’m also a huge fan of TFL truck. Keep ‘em comin
$44k for a tradesman! My dealership quoted me a Trademan 4x4 Crew cab for $32k.
32k is still to much
@@jasonzee4561 32k is pretty good for what you are getting with these new base models
Never been much of a Dodge fan but I have to hand it to them with the styling and interior of this truck. Very well done.
I think I like these. Please keep doing them. Sup André
Awesome video as always! Now all we need are ramboxes on the 6'4" bed!!!!
Instead of just saying “snarfs,” try “saying “snarfs sandwich shop.” I bet you it’ll make a difference
The camera man needs to turn up exposure
The camera gets tricked by the dark interior and the super bright outdoors.
When using voice commands, don't just push and release the button on the steering wheel. You need to hold it down until you hear a beep, and then say commands. It works every time in my Laramie.
Great review! The hula girl test is Awesome!! Good Job Guys!!
I have a 2015 Ram 1500 Bighorn and its been a good truck. I did have the driver's side exhaust manifold replaced under warranty due to the head bolt issues the Hemi has, but it's been a solid truck. I tow a travel trailer, and I do to it one logging roads to get to some nice campsites. About all I'd want is better gas mileage, but it's a truck. I am interested to see how the Etorque does in the real world. If it holds up, or the Ecodiesel returns I might get a new Bighorn, otherwise I'm going to drive the wheels off this one.
Like this content, keep them coming.
All the Snarf’s are back in Boulder!!! But, awesome video about the Ram trucks guys!!! I’m really happy with my 2018 Ram 1500!!!
Love the videos keep up the good work guys
I thought you were reviewing a new RAM that cost $22k. should've known better.
the $22K is the price difference dummy
Yeah i know, but its 2019 - NOT 1989!
@@danielkeating1713 the title is misleading
A full size 🚚 for $22k went away a LONG time ago.
Same
Great job fellas is always
I'm a fan of the buddy reviews. They're a nice supplement to all of your other reviews. Also, I think a long term Rebel is a great idea! I'm just hoping you get any color besides red. Almost every Power Wagon or Rebel you see in a review is red. Anyway, looking forward to it's arrival!
Loved this review guys! Very informative for potential buyers.....AND it really shows the real value and capability of the Pentastar V6. Looking forward to the Ikes performances too.
That being said, I’d always choose the 5.7 hemi, simply for the power and performance.
#ramfam
That's a great engine.
These are so comical keep up guys 👌
Long term Rebel,yes!!!
Guys, buy a light for the camera or something. Couldn't see the nice interior you were talking about.
17:50...Nathan:’I prefer the rubber anyway’. 😂
Andre “That’s what she said” 🤣
funny one thing i like about trucks ( at least my 2017 Tradesman ) is the ability to
start it without sitting in the seat to press the brake.
it's a base model and fine for work.
one of my buds owns a Limited for home and the Tradesman for work.
he loves both.
That's a push button starter for you.
@@XploreAz the baseline baseline Tradesman isn't standard with the pusher. mine is just a work truck.
as simple as it can be when purchased.
@@pensive69 yes but I believe push button start is standard on all trim levels now.
I love the buddy reviews! Also, I agree with some, the interior was a bit difficult to see due to poor lighting.
great review
I love the big rig look on the old one and I like the new ones too
You can get a 2019 Tradesman Crew Cab with 4x4, 5.7L Hemi, 3.92 rear end ,keyless entry, and power windows and locks for $42K and some change. Throw a trade in or some money down and you are financing under $40K. Still expensive but no different than all the other manufacturers. In August 2018 I ordered a 2018 Ram 2500 Tradesman, Crew Cab, 4X4, with the manual old school 4x4 shift lever, Long Bed, 6.4L Hemi, 4.10 rear end, and upgraded to the Blue tooth radio and it was under $43K
The Dodge Dart was one of Chrysler’s first cars to have the active areo, at highway speeds the grill is closed off using special flaps behind the grill however it doesn’t use a small chin under the car instead it just closes the grill and uses the air going bellow the vehicle to cool off the engine, this allows for better fuel efficacy at highway speeds
My 2000 Silverado Work Truck is regular cab, 8'bed, RWD with auto, air, tow package and 4.8L V8 with 265 h.p. and 275 foot pounds of torque. Crank windows, manual locks, rubber floor. Solid, basic truck for work, still running great at 19 years of age with very little extra cost or parts beyond routine stuff.
I paid $17,000 for it new.
Prices today for a few gewgaws added to overblown tech I don't trust for longevity is just NUTS.
Glad to see Nathan and Roman back together!!!!
Keep doing these "buddy reviews" I like the flow...
i've seen tradesmans in the lower 20's. you can get a ram 2500 cummins fir 44k at the lowest package
I would be very interested in TFL getting a long term Rebel, I would definately give a thumbs up for that.
That new Ram truck is absolutely amazing!!! Love it. Way better than the other trucks and wait until the HD comes out with the Cummins with Aisin transmission OMG nothing comes close! Well done Ram engineering
And now the HD will be built in USA.
Caught the "that's what she said". Well done, Andre.
"You need to switch to decaff" 🤣🤣🤣
I know nothing about air ride but it looked like it was set on off road mode. Wonder if it was set lower. If the Hula girl test would be smoother?
Price after rebates on my 2019 tradesman with SXT appearance group, hemi, 4x4, quad cab in canada was $35,310 before taxes. So, MSRP might say one thing, but since when does ANYONE pay sticker price? The tradesmans are a great value (with rebates of course!) In my opinion. That price also included freight, admin etc etc etc....only thing that price didnt include was our govt taxes.
If we're counting the 3.5HO EcoBoost as the 6th engine in the lineup, then GM also has 6 engine options if you include the 5.3MDS vs the 5.3AFMS; 4.3, 2.7, 5.3MDS, 5.3AFMS, 6.2AFMS, and the upcoming 3.0 Babymax.
Great job
Can you guys do this kind of review for the Titan you currently have?
I own a 2018 express and love it.
I like it unfiltered and raw, now help this veteran out and let me have one of these trucks. My used beaten down 2011 f150 is hurting especially in the Mpg category.
You can get a 1500 SXT Tradesman with a 5.7L V8,
You can also get an 8' bed with the Tradesman that you can't with a limited.
Don't let dodge dealers talk you into high end crew cabs you will probably never use.
I just bought a 2019 4x4 v8 Tradesman Crew Cab tow Package and Level 1 equipment group ..... for 43k very happy with this truck only thing I want to install is a the 12 inch u connect
Andre is all hyped up on caffeine!
I’m a RAM guy but 66k for a 1500 is way too much. I would like to see a rebel vs a big horn review or even do a long term big horn review as well as that model has a lot of the everyday stuff you need. Nav, heated seats, 5.7, blind spot, sound system, bed lighting, LED’s and incentives. Rebel or Big Horn should be the focus.
I have yet to buy a truck because I am astounded by all the extras you can tack on. Some of the extras are actually necessary for one reason or another. To think you have to pay extra for things like wheel liners, tow hitch or limited-slip differential (whatever they call it). Then they do funny things like offering Big Horn models more pricey than Laramies.
You guys should take these up Gold Mine Hill to compare the engines and rear-locker offroad!
Love that ram limited!
Legend has it. The guys, are still driving around Colorado. Looking for Snarfs. 🙊🙈🙉
Love these reviews, and get a Rebel for long term, raptor had its turn now it’s Rebel
camera guy needs to "light" focus sheesh
Hey guys. Question on the 2019 tradesmen. Does the middle seat in the front recline back? Thanks for your great show.
Good job guys
The camera guy is fine, these TRUCKS they look good in any light
Very funny entertaining segment. Dont switch to decaf Andre. Best value is the big horn
Andre, you crack me up. Also, I have been trying to figure out your accent for a long time. Can you tell me its origin?
There is not 22K worth of Differences. The tradesman cost about $13,000.00 -16,000.00 to build and the Limited
between $17,000.00 - $20,000.00 to build. The grille in the Tradesman is Plastic and the Grille in the limited is Plastic
with chrome, which probably cost Ram about 10 to 15 dollars more to have produced. Think about all this from a manufacturing
standpoint. All the components are mass produce which allow all the Automakers out there to buy their parts cheaper.
All of these trucks are built on a production line producing more than 100 to 150 trucks a day.
Both truck are overprice. Both trucks should be able to be bought for 25-32% off MSRP and ram will still make money off of
both of these truck. This applies to Ford, GM etc. If people would just walk away from all of these trucks for about 30-60 days
the executives for all these manufacturers would price these truck where they should be. GM executives are on target to make
51 million this year with Ford executives right behind them. SEE -- automotivenews.com or google.
If these vehicle are not overprice why are all the manufacturing putting rebates upwards of $8000.00 AND OR zero percent
up to 72 months to get them off the lots.
One way to get these prices down in my opinion would be to stop with the rebate TV ads and put the money saved on reducing the MSRP. Selling more trucks keeps people working.
I was just recently made an END OF THE MONTH offer for 2019 limited at $15,000.00 off. So far I have driven the 2019 Chevy LTZ and the 2019 Ram limited, and I have to say the Ram has the best looking interior and the quality is there.
For once the Ram interior doesn't look cheap.
Doug Cox This is America, where we practice capitalism. There’s supply and demand. People will buy, if they don’t and the prices are truly overset, the manufacturers gonna lower the price. That’s how you get rich. Suck it up.
@@KhanhLe-ib2po looks like supply and demand got the best of GM on the car side huh. But the main thing is the executives are
still getting their millions and the SAD part, you have thousands of people losing their jobs. As far as the manufactures dropping prices I think they have started, what do you the rebates are all about. What we need is more people like you to
go out and buy more cars and trucks and paid full MSRP and tell the dealership you are paying it forward for the ones who can't afford these overpriced trucks.
I love my Ram Limited
@@35hFr should I get the red rebel or limited black
100-150 trucks a day, huh? That many? That is like 4000 a month if they make 'em every single day.
These videos are great, you have the best jobs! Base model all the way. Anything over 60,000 bucks is absurd.
I clicked thinking it was a $22, 000 truck.... boy was I hit like a sack of potatoes
Will there ever be a 2019 Ram 1500 with the Eco Diesel?
I paid $34k for a quad cab 4X4 2018 1500 Harvest Edition that's pretty well equipped and it only had an msrp of a little over $44k and I got the freaking V8! No way in hell I'd pay more than $30k for a Tradesman...
Yeah it needs to be 30k I don't know what they're thinking
Ram definitely has the best interior but I just still worry about FCA reliability. Rams rust faster than any other truck and they tend to use cheaper parts underneath all that fancy skin.
I test drove the Ram Limited at the 2019 Cleveland Auto show, and I kept thinking it has too many bells and whistles and I could never ever justify the cost to own it! I would like to drive the Tradesmen someday when I am in the market for a new truck.
Just purchased a 2020 bighorn yesterday! It’s a step up from the tradesman and not as expensive as the limited. I’d defiantly recommend it. Got mine for 37,000
36 for my Big Horn well equipped black friday deal from 48 can’t go wrong with that deal best truck i ever head from 98 ram dually 5.9 02 ram 1500 4.7 than nissan titan 5.6 and ram today
But does the hemi e-torque get the average mpg. Because i had both 3.6l & 5.7l. They 5.7l couldn't touch the 3.6l in mpg unloaded.
I got the Laramie with the 5.7 but no sunroof....I love it.
I think the Laramie is a good choice. It's got some nice features without going overboard.
this is nice i just wonder if you can get your hands on one of the new F150 3.3 v6, and the 4 cylinder Silverado when it comes out, and do some Ike gauntlet with them as well.
I do like the buddy reviews. I think a long term rebel would be a great idea. I am disappointed in how expensive these trucks have become in such a short period of time. We got a 2004 Dodge 2500 Quad Cab 8' 4x4 Laramie Cummins for 27k new off the lot. Don't think we will be able to afford a new truck ever again. Long term plan is to keep it forever and get a new engine/trans should it ever fail.
Issue up here in the north is the body rots before you touch 100k miles. Salt is destructive
It's very sad. Have 2 year old trucks with frames complelty covered in rust and 8 year old trucks woth rotted wheel wells and rockers
I'm going to keep calling BS on $44k base trucks as long as manufacturers keep pricing base trucks at $44k. Base trucks should be just that, basic. Good safe tires auto, ac, pw, pl with remote and gov mandated safety equipment and be under $25 for 2wd reg cab.
I agree with you. But unless people keep buying them the prices won't go down. The only decently priced truck currently is the Nissan frontier. You can also get a new titan for thousands of dollars below msrp
@@virenvs905 the Frontier was discontinued in the US after 2015
@@FirebirdCamaro1220
No it wasn't. You can still buy em
@@virenvs905 Wikipedia is wrong then, because it says that the Frontier was discontinued in the USDM after 2015, but is still made overseas where it's called the Navara
@@Cloud30000 interesting, I stand corrected. If Nissan doesn't update the Frontier soon, it's going to be the next Dodge (where the D/W Series pickup was basically unchanged from 1972-1993 until the Ram BR replaced it in 1994)
Ram definitely makes the most luxurious trucks. I just wish they had of upped the engine outputs on all models. They've been rocking the same ole engines since when I had a 2009 Ram Laramie. 450hp for the hemi is a must when they sell hellcats, red-eyes and demons. 🤷🏾♂️
I just came to say “22k for a 2019 any brand truck? What is this 1989?” 😂
I believe Ford and GMC has a 22k truck so
Also I got an slt one step up from tradesman. I skipped power seats and got adjustable pedals and saved 1900.00 dollars for one example.
I do like the review wish you had the rebel as the in between. Truck for comparison
Am I the only one that was here to see a 22k new 1500 ? Lol
The Laramie has everything I want but it seems some incentives went away. Having to change my Christmas shopping plans now. I would have gotten a bighorn because I prefer fabric for comfort. Unfortunately RAM isn't offering reclining rear seat in the bighorn
I would go bighorn, 5.7 non etorque, 8.4" and get the tow package with mirrors and add some gray katzkin.
I'd do the same but with the new ecodiesel coming out, and vinyl floors
Is the V8 hemi still available on the Tradesman? Been on the Ram website and haven’t seen it as an option...
Anyone else get nervous when Andre takes his eyes off the road too much?
Agreed, the front passenger should be doing most of the activities up there such as the navigation test.
Well Andre is an immigrant so it’s expected
