Your reviews are so much more explained then some of these other bigger channels that just blow through everything nowadays. Keep it up
Thanks Dalton 👍🏾
Great review! Thank you, I was literally 2 days from buying a 2020 version of this identical truck! Now I may reconsider for a 2021 for the fuel pump issue. You just earned a ‘like’ and subscribe, my man!
That’s awesome, glad the content was helpful 👍🏾
Once again, great review! You're the only one so far to mention about how to store the running boards, along with the ability to remove the little storage containers for easy cleanup. Thanks! Have a blessed weekend
Thank you for the comment and blessings to you as well
Most important, the CP4 pump is out and the CP3 is back in.
I'm new to diesels. Looking at trading my 2019 1500longhorn for one of theese but probably a 2020. Is their any reason a person can't just change out the pump for a more reliable one?
You don’t really need to, just run fuel injector lubricator a couple times a month, get your diesel from a truck stop since they typically have more filters, and make sure it’s a #2 diesel or 50 cetane rating or higher 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork I'm Canadian I don't think I have much options with grades of diesel. It's hard enough to find high octane Gass. But I'll definitely check the local stations of anywhere it'll be available at the co-op. The lube is nice to know can definitely deal with that
@Mctrician2 you are sooooo wrong. First off if you want to talk Gass we have 3 "grades" grades are not better or worse octane raiting is how tough it is to detonate the fuel air mixture higher octane for higher compression engines. Our fuel is not any better then the USA in terms of cleanliness and it really depends on how clean the fuel stations tanks are. Bio fuels are harmful to most engines and we have alot of bio fuel mixes in Canada. If your from Europe you would have access to 6 grades up to 97 octane my Jetta for example needed 95 octane so I had to add octane booster to "premium.gass". In Canada we have one grade of diesel, the only regulation on it is it has to be ultra low sulfer, cetain raiting isn't provided and ranges terrible from fill up to fill up. Additives are pretty much all Sudo science and placebos.
@Mctrician2 oh ya, and I might currently live in the "boonies" I'm a oil patch welder in Alberta I have as much access in fact more then I had when I lived in the city of Vancouver. Theirs a lack of diesel in the big cities
Great review! You pointed out a lot that others don't and even mentioned small cons which nobody ever does. Thanks again!
Appreciate your comment 🙏🏽
Very thorough, professional and clean review without any extreme bias. Great work, keep it going!
Thanks Ryan 👍🏾
Best review I've seen... Awesome job. PS you are right on the cost approaching a limited. We are getting one this weekend and we saved money over building up to one.
Thanks Jack! Good luck with your purchase 👍🏾
Your coverage on that ram is excellent. I've got an 04 2500 which is still pretty nice and a good workhorse but after watching yr c ommentary,, I may have to consider an up grade. Well done!
Your fart in a room analogy got a like from me.
😂😂😂 thanks!
Yup. You got me.
😆😆
Thanks for taking the time to Demo my New Truck, Should be ready this week. After my Son, Brother in Law and Nephew bough there's I figured it's time for me, Retiring a 1997 F350 Powerstroke Dually Crew, it's Standard Trans was no longer easy for me. A well deserved replacement The Ram, I'll drop by in a few months and let you know if I'm still smiling, Blessings !
Wow, you are buying a good year RAM and I’m sure that Powerstroke did good by you! Good luck on your purchase and Blessings to you as well 🙏🏽
excelent review!! my respect to you from Brazil! We love RAM here in Brazil
That’s awesome, appreciate the support brother 👍🏾
Great video! Thanks for putting your time into this so we can all enjoy it.
Thanks James!
Thanks for taking the time to do this detailed video.
No problem Artie, glad it was helpful 👍🏾
You did a great job explaining in detail what this truck can do.
Thank you so much for the review sir. I am about the purchase this truck after watching. You provided a very detailed walk through. Since I am ordering a truck from the factory, this was very helpful!
That’s awesome bro, congrats!!!
Dude Ram should hire you. I’ve bought more new trucks over the years than anyone I know and you just demonstrated how a salesman should be with a prospective customer. However, most of the time I get a nerd who knows nothing about the product he’s trying to sell. Great video!
Great content! Your channel came up a suggestion and I'm glad it did! Cheers from Massachusetts! Subscribed!
Thanks for the Sub Jeff 🤝
As always, great review JB! Thanks man, love the information.
Thanks Billy 👍🏾
Great review! I ordered my ram 2500 December 4th, it's scheduled to be built January 21st, can't wait to get it. Glad it has the CP3 and not the cp4. I ended up getting the granite crystal with the night package, the Delmonico red was a close second.
Thanks and congrats on the order! Hopefully it will arrive within a couple of weeks after being built 👍🏾
I just got the same truck. Sitting at the dealer waiting for them to swap the wheels from my 2018 6.4 2500. Can't wait to drive it off!!
Best video walk through for these on TH-cam
Thanks Michael 👍🏾
Bro, I swear I went to look at the 2020s today. I may have to pull the trigger, the Night Edition caught my eye. Love the channel, keep it up.
Nice! You can’t beat a blacked out RAM! Thanks brother 👍🏾
Stay away from the CP4.2. Wait for a 2021...
This was a great review JB. I really want a Ram but that CP4 definitely scares me big time. If they have indeed gone away from that and went back to the CP3 then maybe, just maybe a Ram is in the near future. If not then the GMC AT4 is my choice. Thanks for the video.
Thanks David! Yea I am still on the fence about the CP4 because of the fuel pressure the CP4 is capable of but we shall see! Would love to get my hands on a GMC AT4 HD 😍
Great video as always JB. That probably one of the best color combos Ram has.
Thanks Brian and I agree 💯
It sure is the best combo... That's why I own it!
@@danmoro1526 I would buy one like that in a heartbeat but the painted bumpers scare me. I feel like it would be rock chip like crazy. I have seen people that color match line x the bumper that look pretty good.
@@brianbenyak9673 I've had mine for just over a year. Towed all over the northeast with my fifth wheel and so far not a scratch or chip anywhere.
The new ram 2021’s post 1st quarter lots are cp3 (Thank god). I commented on a previous video you had for the 2020 where I said they may come out with a new fuel pump, but this is even better. The cp3 is tried and true. Glad ram came to their senses
Thanks Darius, you called it!
Rams just look SOOOO much better than ford or chevy.
Ford is nice too.
Ford seats shake a bit as well. Can’t feel it but you can see the passenger seat shaking a bit. Thank god they went the cp3. Not sure how the resale will be on the 19 and 20s with the issues they have had???
Good to know, I think Chevy trucks don’t have any wobble and it’s probably in part to that independent front suspension.
The CP4 shouldn’t affect resale value as I’m sure it didn’t on the LML trucks. Sure someone could chime in 👍🏾
Watching all your videos. Love them. Awesome reviews
Thanks 👍🏾
Thanks for the review man, I am actually eyeing up that exact truck at the moment.
I actually just bought this exact truck tonight.
Always enjoy your videos/reviews... weirdly relaxing
Haha! I’ve heard people falling to sleep to my channel 😂😂. No wonder my ad revenue is making a comeback. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
I'm getting the same one but just in a 3500 CCLB, I can't wait.
You’re in Thurmond MD I’ve driven on those back Roads I’m in Frederick! Great review BTW!
Yup this was done in Thurmont! Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
Great review my regards and respect to you from Australia.
Thanks Wayne!
Looking to buy soon for my retirement towing rig. Thanks for all the information you provide v
That’s great! Good luck on your search and thanks for sharing 👍🏾
i just ordered new 3500 long horn,im trading in my 2012 ,its been great truck but im craving a new one got good deal too,arrive on my birthday may 30, cant wait!! great video!
Congrats and god luck on your new trucks 👍🏾
Great review brah!
Truck does look sick. TRX with that color black out edition 👍🤙
Looking forward to 2022 or 2023 models.
Thanks Mikey! The TRX in army green would be sick in my opinion. Yea once they redesign this truck, I’m gonna jump ship as I’m sure transmission will be updated 👍🏾
I'm from MD originally and recognized Criswell right away. Haven't seen that name in ages!
thanks for the review...probably getting this truck soon
No problem 👍🏾
Very informative review, good job.
Thank you Rich 👍🏾
Keep doing what you are doing. Honest reviews. Don’t listen to the haters. They are going to hate no matter what.
Thanks brother, I personally don’t really care because it’s only 1 or 2 people making up fake accounts lol
That’s a CP3 pump! Great news and a huge reason I stayed in my 2018.
Interesting point about the computer not letting you have the power of you don’t our a load on it. I know they have torque management in the first couple of gears so that you don’t break anything with all that power...just a talking point.
💯
Yup I always felt like it didn’t seem that much quicker off the line than a standard Cummins but when you hit it loaded, the truck takes off a lot stronger!
Agree. I got a 2018 Tungsten Limited 2500 in Delmonico red. Love it!
High Quality review man thank you
Thanks Tony 👍🏾
Great video, I’m currently looking at the new Ram to replace my 07 2500 with a Cummins. Pays to do some research, I had no idea the fuel pump was such an issue. Been looking at the lower priced 2020s that are still out there.
Thank You!
You can get fuel upgrades for 2019-2020 and not having to worry about it
Man much love ❤️ just subscribed love the detail
Thank you for the sub/comment
Excellent review, thanks.
I’m loving the channel! Just hit subscribe.
Thank You 🙏🏾
Beautiful truck with all the right features
Could you go through the finance deal.
Payments?
Down payment?
Total price ?
What to pay what to not pay?
OMG the color 😍
🔥🔥🔥
I wish Ram would move production back to the good old USA...
You think there would be a big difference in quality?
@@JB_WhoWork no, but it would be good paying American jobs for Americans...
I don't understand this. My truck was made in the USA, I live in Canada. I drive a 2019 longhorn
One of the Best reviews I have seen. I do have a question about the 68rfe transmission. I own a 2017 2500 Laramie 6.7 CC/short bed 4x4 with the 68rfe, Has there been any change at all to this transmission?
My truck runs and drives very nicely - I just want to check if the 68rfe has changed. Thanks in Advance.
Thanks! They did make changes back in2019 to make it more refined and I think it’s better in terms of how well it shifts and holds gears 👍🏾
I have 2019 2500 HD RAM love it!
JB - just curious if you know if the 2021 cab chassis have the "new" CP3 pump? I can't find one on the lot near me and am thinking about ordering one.
I’m not to sure on this one. You can reach out to RAM directly and they should be able to have an answer for you 👍🏾
Im in the market for a truck and im doing my research. Im seriously concerned about the fact that its Chrysler and my Chrysler has 3rd transmission and 2nd engine. Any experience with that?
I also missed the mpg...
From what I know, they short stroked the cp4 and over spun it. I’m glad they went back to the cp3.
Me too but from the comment section, seems like it’s only for the standard Cummins
I bought 2020 RAM 2500 Larmie Crew Cab on 12/30. It's been in the shop for 8 days so far in January with check engine light P02999. It only has 1200 miles on it. I love it and hope they can get it figured out.
Sorry to hear, keep us updated bro 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork Brand new turbo @ 1200 miles, MAS sensor. We shall see if this is it!
Likely the first and last issue you have! Thanks for the update bro 👍🏾
Do you know if you can get the Night Edition with the Hydro Blue paint? On the Ram website it wont let you select both, I don't know if the website is just really buggy or if there is a reason behind it. For some reason you can't get Hydro Blue with a Limited either, only a Laramie which doesn't make sense to me
You cannot get the Hydro Blue with night which is THE DUMBEST THING EVER…
Do the Laramie and up trims come with the LED headlights that turn with the steering wheel? I’m assuming that charging station is standard on limited?
Longhorn and Limited have the projector headlights that turn with the steering wheel. If you turn your fog lights off, they will turn on individual when you’re turning though. The charging station is standard
On the lane assist, do you need to be traveling at a set speed for it to work? On my Acura I need to be traveling at about 40 mph for it to stay centered in the lane. Below that speed the lane assist does not work.
I’m not sure as I stayed above 35 mph. I will check it out on a later review 👍🏾
Can you help me out with a recommendation. I’m about to pull the trigger on an order for a 2500 mega cab with the 6.4L and rear air suspension. I’ll be using it as a daily driver and a weekend tow vehicle. My max tow weight would be around 14,000 lbs. my dealer is pushing me to get the 3500 with Cummins, but I don’t really want the maintenance or rough ride of a 3500 with diesel. I live in Michigan so no major hills, but plenty of horrible roads. The 2500 with air suspension seems to cover what I need without over spending. Thanks. I really enjoy your channel. 👍🏻
Hey Jeff, I think you should consider a 3500 with a 6.4L, 4.10 rear, and air suspension. Only reason why I say that is because a 14k fifth wheel will most likely have a pin weight around 3000#’s and a 3500 allows you to pick up an additional 1300#’s +/- of payload. The 3500 will ride slightly rougher but you won’t regret it. Your other option is a slightly lighter trailer around 10k and the gas 2500 would be perfect 👍🏾
Well Done. Great Clear presentation.
Thank You 🙏🏽
Do you like the AISIN or 68rfe better?
Thanks for the great content.
Appreciate the feedback brother 👍🏾
Oh gad, I might have to trade my 2021 f250 in for this truck!! Really nice!
My cp3 in my 2005 performed flawlessly for 400,000 miles . On a stock lift pump and a smarty.
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I did discover that many optional features can be turned on or off with one of those sophisticated scanning devices. So if the scanner can get into the operating computer system they can find a list of options that you may not have paid for like the zoom camera that can be turned on.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
Now if they can just put a reliable transmission in their diesel trucks, and just have one engine and transmission and not have different levels depending on the model. You’re absolutely right about the power, can’t tell a difference. I felt like my 16 had better performance than the 20. I haven’t driven the 21.
Color looks really nice
Nothing more good looking is that Delmonico red plus that midnight edition package. I would get that in a dually in a second. The 1 thing I don't like about my truck is the soft brakes. They just feel spongey. I've been to the dealership about it and they say the brakes are normal. Great review JB thanks brother 👍.
Yo Ric I thought about you when I pulled the keys on this! If I find another Delmonico dually night I’m sending it your way 🤝! Thanks brother 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork I'll take buddy 😀👍
Love that color love cummins love ram
AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I miss my Cummins. I had a 2016 and at 16k miles the exhaust system clogged up and needed to be replaced. I traded it in for a 2018 2500 Laramie Mega in the Hemi. I love this setup but I miss the diesel. In the 2 years I had it, it only went into regen 1 time. That is a great motor. I’m thinking of getting another.
Do it!
@@JB_WhoWork the move was made. I just got this exact setup but in the big horn model. Minus the side step. All the changes they made are amazing.
I’m eager to drive a new HO and see how it is compared to the 19-20. I’ve now owned a 19 and 20 and both have been highly problematic. My older Rams...12, 14, 17, 18 all problem free while I had them. These last two, it’s always something.
Sorry bro, these are first model year trucks but I think once we get through 2021, RAM will be a lot more reliable 👍🏾
Hi JB.
You don't have to go in the meniu to control your seat heat/ cooled, when you actually start the truck and you put in revers is popping automatically and you can control it.
You are correct and thanks for sharing this 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork You're more than welcome.
Love your reviews bro! You got a Ram dealer recommendation? I'm VA local
Thank you! Let me know and I will set you up with the right person 👍🏾
Sup up G.. .great video? I'm looking exactly this type of truck for non cdl trucking under 10,000 GVWR. Do you think I can buy the 2021 ram 6.7 lit cumming torbo desiel for under $50k? I live the DMV area. ..any reference will greatly appreciate it. 🙏
I’m sure you can get one in that price range in a Tradesman spec. Thanksc👍🏾
I have a 3500 SRW HO Lone-star Mega cab but decide go back to 2500 Limited. I have RV but not towing so much, considering the comfort and some features, I decide back to a 2500. And the one is Red, too! I know Mega will lost some towing capability, so I go with a crew cab.
Great looking truck. Def my favorite color.
🔥🔥🔥! We still need to meet up and do a comparison bro 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork 💯
Is the digital rearview standard on the laramie or only included in the safety group?
Included in safety
My MM3 says im putting out mac 1053 Ft LB ...that being said i dont know how accurate that is.
My 2016 2500 had the seat shimmy and now my 2020dually does it as well. Guess that's a RAM trademark. Lol
Lmao!!!! I guess that’s why RAM doesn’t offer massaging chairs 😂😂😂
ALL 2021 RAM Cummins trucks have the new pump. This has been confirmed through RAM, numerous insider sources, and owner confirmations.
In comparison yes it's light towing. Plus your payload is going to be just north of 2000lbs on the 2500. So you will be limited if you want to be legal.
Facts!!!!
Good looking truck!
I’m looking to get a 2500 gas to tow my rv. My must is billet silver with night edition snd offroad package. Best looking ram in my opinion
🔥🔥🔥
Don’t listen to those haters. Your videos are awesome!
Thnks Charlie 👍🏾😀👍🏾
Boy that's a nice truck boy
Just got my 2022 all black and night edition.
Congrats!
JB, I know that you have mentioned that the Aisin transmission of yours shifts hard. I watched another channel and he stated that he got his to the dealer, for another problem, and they installed a bunch of updates including some for the Aisin and it now shifts much smoother. Just a suggestion but I'm sure you have already checked.
Man you just reminded that I never followed up with my reflashed. I need to put something together soon 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork Look forward to seeing if that works for you!
JB Reviews: I want to thank you for this particular video. I've just gotten email confirming my 2022 Ram 2500 Big Horn, Night Edition is built and ready for shipping. I added several options/packages that brought the final price to 68K dollars. Off road pkg., premium lighting, deluxe buckets, rear view camera, 12" Uconnect, bed utility group, Hemi, 4:10 anti slip rear, 220 alternator, Level C pkg, Crew cab, 4x4, Sun roof, flat black side steps, and the final price included my state of CA taxes, licensing and documentation fees. I did get the Delmonico paint as well after seeing this exact video. If you're in the market for a new truck, try Jim Doran CJDR in McMinnville, Oregon. My factory order was placed on November 17 and is already completed and ready for shipping. I paid cash BTW. My saleslady at Jim Doran CJDR told me that mine is the quickest build the dealership has ever seen.
Congrats bro, I’m planning to do a video on a BH night in Delmonico red. Only difference is it has a Cummins 👍🏾
2021 3500 HO . For 2021 the AISIN has smoother shifiting. Also, I heard the receiver hitch is larger on the 2021, haven't confirmed that yet.
That’s really good news 👍🏾
What’s the deal with the plastic cap on the fuel fill? Why not a regular screw on cap?
RAM loves their cap less design. The plastic cap is a throw away
Love Delmonico, just bought a 20 3500 Mega with Aisin, have a 18 Crew Cab Delmonico going up for sale after warranty trans swap. Fully agree, the Aisin without a load seems jerky as daily driver
Congrats bro! Yea I bought a second trailer and I keep it hooked up 90% of the time now lol...
I like that a lot! Ram makes some real nice trucks!
💯! Design RAM is leading the way, now it just needs a solid transmission and RAM will be dangerous 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork yes sir! I like where RAM is heading. I agree if they can get a solid 10 speed for the regular and the H.O. I think they will be extremely dangerous. I feel they are at the top of the class in just about every other category.
@@JB_WhoWork if they had a solid trans I would’ve bought another one and not when back to Ford. My 2018 1 ton Ram, I put 3 trans in it in 40k miles and 1 and a half years
Why dosent ram allow the high output in the 2500?
I’m a Chevy guy through and through but the Rams are good looking trucks. A friend of mine has a 2020 Big Horn Night package that is a nice truck for sure.
That color really suits the Rams too. I prefer bright red and white for trucks but that color is sharp on Rams.
This truck is the same color as your Camaro in your thumbnail. I don’t recall seeing a blackout Chevy truck but I’ve seen several GMC Sierra’s with blackout packages... Does Chevy have one available on higher trims?
Yes it is! My car is kind of a weird paint job but it’s cool. The front is that maroon color and then about halfway of the doors it kinda fades/splatters into a deep purple/blue color.
For 2021 they do. They offer a Z71 Sport package that gives painted bumpers and grille crossbar. Black grille inserts with black badges and either black 18” or 20” wheels. Black painted mirror caps and door handles. It’s available on LT or LTZ and even on an LT it comes with full LED lights that was previously only available on LTZ and High Country. It’s restricted to just a few colors (I know for sure red, blue and white) but it’s an awesome package and I’m seriously considering trying to trade for one sometime this year.
They also have the Midnight package now too that is same package but a black truck only.
Nice! Thanks, I will keep my eyes open for a 2021 Chevy once they start making their way to the dealers. Thanks 👍🏾
Hey brother man, landscaper in the area by you. (Maryland) love the content and we are looking at a 4500 ram cab chassis would you review those too?
What’s up! I did a video about a month ago on 4500/5500. I will do another for 2021 when they become available 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork awesome man, I’ll go take a look for it! Must have missed it! Haha
Great review
Thank You!
Great review but as someone that pulls a lot I will say you are wrong about it being best for light towing. I love my 2016 ram but absolutely hate you have to pay more to upgrade to get power matching the others and really hurts ram I think. My 2016 has 160k miles and pulls 15k pounds regularly and on the occasion has been loaded well past legal limits. My truck has performed amazingly with zero breakdowns(except front wheel bearings) and is totally stock, the regular transmission is also a little harsh and much more in its element when towing. More rough than an Allison Chevy going to church but smoother than an Allison with a heavy load. Hell I towed a 45ft 9k lbsgooseneck with a 7k lbs tractor and 11k lbs skid steer 4 hours in southern heat and tranny stayed cool. Most people buy these things for their campers and there is not a camper made that I would not tow across country and no you do not need a duelly
Why do we need higher hp/tq numbers on these lit duty trucks, any brand for that matter? The medium duty 4500/5500 trucks are detuned for longevity, at least on the Duramax. so why not have a version of these trucks that optimizes for mpg just like they have a version optimized for HO on the RAM? Still going to have plenty of power to haul, most ppl don’t haul at 35k lbs.
Very very true! The reason is, emissions are driving people away from the diesel so hp/tq are basically bragging rights 👍🏾
I got rid of my 2018 due to that vibration. It’s sad to see it’s still happening in 2021.
Yea... it’s not as bad as it used to be. Keep in mind it was 30 degrees outside and if tires were warmed up, it probably wouldn’t have been so bad. My 19 is bad due to my aggressive tires though 👍🏾
Price of heavy duty trucks, tire and shock selection has a lot to do with it. I have my 18' 3500 DRW switched to Coopers for the high silica/low rebound and that has helped dramatically with road vibrations; Bilsteins help too since Mopar shocks might at best last 8k miles for ya, mine where shot on a new truck when I swapped them out. If you want comfort, get a Chevy, and outside of their 45-6500, Ram is the only one with air suspension/assist. Yes you can add that, but its nice to push a button to drop my 5th Wheel and keep the legs the same height, makes hookup a breeze.
I know this is an old video, but I can pretty much guarantee they didn't up the hp and torque on the standard output because they know that the 68rfe can't take much if any more before they start running into huge issues in stock trucks. They've always had the excuse of "the 68RFE is a fine transmission stock, its only when you add hp and torque that issues occur and stuff breaks." But now they're at the tipping point where they cant add cause they're getting to the levels that cause the transmission to need to be beefed up in the aftermarket.
They need to get rid of the 68rfe and do it soon, otherwise they're just going to keep falling behind Ford and GM in the hp and torque wars for the 2500's.
I herd that the cp4 in 2019 and 2020 have a 3 or 4 dot stamp and newer 2020, if it has a 6 dot stamp, that is the fixed one and it performs like a cp3. I checked on mine and I had the 6 dot, zero issues so far, coming up on 4k miles and I hope that stays that way. I also use hotshot every fill.
I just saw the video for that too! Thanks for sharing bro 👍🏾
My 2019 has a 6 dot. 27,000km on her now. All good! I think our Canadian diesel is of better quality than yours.
