We need to get back to being able to buy a regular work truck a working man can afford
true.....that's why i have a 2000 Silverado just for work not for show...👍🏻
There is, like a 2010 truck lol
I thought regular working men make enough to afford 50k vehicles.....according to the government at least
Amen brother!
@@guyontheinternet8891 God bless your folks and what they went through. The truck ceased to exist for working people at least 20 years ago.
The new trucks have too much crap on them You don't need. $70,000 is way out of reach for most people, especially on something that depreciates so fast.
Rick Nethery agree, if i had the money of course i would consider it, however if you are purely looking for a work truck, go with an older model.
Trucks are considered luxury cars as of today. Heated seats massasing seats sat nav tv's and more.
Rick Nethery my Father is I his 60s now and still driving his 1991 F150 regular cab 2wd long box. Granted he doesn't work it hard but its still going pretty well. Major components all original
Agree completely. I wouldn't buy a luxury car with all that crap. All I want is a simple, comfortable and capable vehicle that doesn't have thousands of little fiddly bits that break and after a few years are no longer available.
To Nameless: Some of them are now pushing $100K. Totally insane.
Your welcome
5 Nissan Frontier
4 Toyota Tundra
3 GMC HD
2 Ford F-150 with a 5.0 liter V8
1 Ram 1500 R/T
The hero everyone needs
All junk except for the Toyota and ford
Robert Peck the Nissan is alright too
"OooOooOoo! He has been chosen!"
Love trucks, but can't justify the cost as they are beyond ridiculously priced. Used trucks are beat to hell with mileage like the actually drove it to hell and back and are still priced like 20k! Somebody needs to just make a new "old" truck. Basic and cheep!
Buy one about 8 to 10 years old with 100k to 150k miles on it they are about 10,000 to 15,000 dollars at most

Here in AZ, a used truck as you described it is only worth as much as the customer is willing to pay. To much? Go down the street to another dealership.
Re release Chevrolet C/K series Scottsdale is what you want
Bought a used '10 Tacoma TRD Off Road for about 21k with 65k miles. It was a rare find, I agree with you that most out there are beat to hell, just have to find that hidden gem
Colton J.
I live in Arizona. The key is to shop around in places other than Flagstaff, Phoenix, Mesa, Globe, Tucson, or Nogales and buy off the owner, never from a dealer. I bought my current F150 in Green Valley at an estate sale. White 2009, 4-door cab, all maintenance records, 22,000 miles.
One of the biggest reasons trucks aren't selling: TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE!!! If you're gonna spend as much as they're asking, people just upgrade to the better versions instead. Like a Ram is already expensive, and the R/T is only a trim package, not a performance & suspension package like the 70s, so it's not worth the HUGE extra cost to people. Also, no manual transmission as an option is a JOKE. Add that as an option and they WOULD be selling those trucks. Seriously, the R/T should have a 2" dropped suspension with higher spring rate, larger sway bars, 22" wheels instead of 20s, and the 6.4L V8, possibly with a slightly hotter cam, and the 6speed manual as an option. THAT'S what the R/T SHOULD be. THAT'S how you get people to buy those trucks.
Agreed! Thank you
You know there's a srt similar to that engine but the options would be nice tho .. The ram you may be wanting is the ram srt10
'murrkuh
Amen to that brother
man frfr WTF ram !
The biggest problem is that most people are still stuck on the foreign built thing. I used to be a die hard Dodge fan but now a days I'm a whatever I can afford at the time fan lol
Eastern Explorer go dodge
Dodge isn't a foreign brand.
cause there expensive and gas is high that's why no one buys theses trucks would you pay 30 bucks for a full tank or 50 or 70 dollars
Mo V Yep and when I have to pull your ars out of the ditch because your car got stuck you won't give me crap that I drive a pickup...
Well a jeep rarely gets stuck in a ditch and if it does, I will use my own ars to get myself out.
What really kills.me is that gm and others have turned trucks into station wagons of the 1960s. What about the old fashioned work truck? No one needs to spend $40,000 on a truck.
Yeah, and don't even get me started on the recent home prices, no one needs to spend 60 percent more than 5 years ago, on a 1970s home that hasn't even been renovated in the past 20 years, yet here we are 🤔
You need to realize that these trucks have base models too that can be had for under 30k brand new. You and most other people need to do your research.
I bought a brand new Dodge Ram 1500 classic tradesman with a Hemi, a few weeks ago for 23,700. No power windows or locks but it’s a nice and simple truck.
Its a reflection of the economy. The wage gap between classes is insanw now. They are appealing to those people. The working class is dying.
Here in texas it's kinda seen as every man needs a truck. Stupid macho shit. So mostly everybody has a 4x4 crew cab, even if they live in the city. I'm sure that doesn't help the price but atleast cheap aftermarket
The reason the R/T Ram isn't a huge seller is because the Express model eclipses it. The Express is also available with the same 5.7 liter Hemi V8, SWB and single cab, but uses a 60/40 bench-style seat, fewer luxury options and still comes with 20" chrome-clad wheels, fog lights and body-color matched bumpers. It has all the performance of the R/T without the extra luxury and price, and it will seat 3 people.
Chris
Explained very well,Bro
The only people buying them are edgars and cuhs
@@guacamoleweiner69racist bro
The R/T brings a better console inside with the bigger screen navigation the best sound system ram could offer it’s gear change is 3.92 instead of 4.10 that is for the express u could get the express but in reality they both have there differences
It's always been the big 3.
It's what you can afford as well
I would rather live in my house then my truck.
50 to 70 thousand for a truck that's insane.
+Alex Johnson lol! not around here
Sure, in Hickville, USA, a place where no one with a full mouth of teeth wants to live. The majority of Americans couldn't imagine a house being that cheap.
Well isn't that special... What a lousy thing to say about people you don't know. I suppose all black people look the same to you do, eh?
yes actually
my 98 full size Ram cost me 16k. RP
Almost every older Chevy truck, like the one behind, them has at least one daytime running light out around here. I laugh every time I see one.
Haha that is so true!!!
That's why I never replaced mine I just let both burn out.
Very true. When one blows on our yukon, the replacement while either last a week or last 4 years
You talking about the markers/foyer lights? Or are there actual running lights you can't turn off?
Omg that's so true! Ever since I moved in to my house my neighbor has always had one out.
All I want is a regular cab, short box, full size 4x4. All the dealerships want to sell are 4 door luxury liners. Guess I keep driving what I got!
Bingo! Crew cabs are so overrated.
That's all I wanted and they were pretty hard to find. I ended up buying a used 2011 model three years ago because I was tired of looking...it is a Lt Silverado 4/4 standard cab short bed z71....its all I need...
I have the F150 with the 5.0! Love it! It's a beast with the 3.73 gears. Tows 10k, though the most I tow is 7k! Do more than enough for me.
Tramaine Leday Have same setup, agree 100%
@nestor aguirre 2013
Alot of the base model trucks out there are nice, they just aren't cheap enough.
aside from the exterior there really doesn't seam to be much of a difference from base model to higher end models.
+wobinga7 basically 4 wheel drive, tech upgrades, and leather seats is the only difference.
Bobby0345 Many base model vehicles come with a lot of technology and 4x4's are found on a wide variety of trim levels, although its not always available on the base model.
at the dealerships around me for a full size truck you wont find under 35-40k for their cheapest on the lot unless if u look for a tacoma or a Colorado then u can find the between 28-40k
+wobinga7 actually it's the interior that has the most difference.
I've talked to many truck shoppers and the main reason ppl don't buy the tundra is its awful fuel mileage
agreed... but 1 Million miles with very low maintenance... it's tempting
And it looks like an ugly bulldog
interesting, shows how most people are short sighted, paying more for gas and likely saving later due to less issues evens out, pretty sure by far the bigger reason tundras don't sell is because toyota is a foreign company
Cause they don't last
+Jonas Vega that's BS.. Toyota has a near perfect track record on their Tundra. They have 1 with over 1 MILLION MILES and it's running strong. you are dead wrong
BRING BACK SMALL TRUCKS! Even midsize trucks these days (Colorado, Taco, Fronty) are the size of full sized trucks 20 years ago. I have an 09' Taco, 2.7 four banger with a 5-speed manual and 4wd. It's a regular cab and that's all I need. I had to go out of my way to find one in a market flooded with mega-cabs, automatic transmissions and off-road packages that 1% of buyers actually use. Trucks these days are small apartments on wheels. Bring back small, practical trucks!!! I hate you chicken tax...
I fully agree. I drive a 1988 Dodge D150 base model on 31" tires. It is dwarfed by these new trucks. You need an elevator to reach into the bed of these new pick-ups. My truck works for its keep, I don't want to have to use a ladder to reach into the bed. My brother has a Colorado and it is as big as my D150.
You forgot ranger
Ranger is coming back in 2 years
@@aidenanderson4343 in 2019*
My Mazda B2000 is enough for me!!
Thanks for mentioning the Nissan Frontier. I recently purchased a used
2016 Frontier. It's a great truck for the money. It has plenty of power, great in the snow and runs nice at highway speeds.
the prices are redicolus for new trucks.
and even good used trucks are ridiculously high priced unless you find one with very high miles
+dutchman063 I thought everyone in my area was just being a ripoff. I guess not. A 2000 Toyota Tacoma with almost 200k will be like $7000. wtf.
+barry beatty Some people cant afford a new truck but need one ASAP
Toyotas are especially bad.
@barry...Lots of people buy trucks with high miles, for various reasons.. dummy
a hellcat ram would be awesome.
Yessssss!!!!
My local dealership told me that Ram is going to come out with one soon.
My local dealership told me that Ram is going to come out with one soon.
they prob can't figure out how to put that much power in a truck the jeep track hawk has been breaking down steady too much power for awd
Always wondered why there is not a hellcat ram runner yet
Bring back the El Camino
I agree 💯 percent.
I was recently in Cancun Mexico and everybody was driving the Chevrolet Tornado .
It’s a baby El Camino. I was pissed 😤 because GM sells it all over the world. Just not north of Mexico .
I would buy one in a heartbeat. The only small truck that can be beat to shit is the Nissan Frontier 😠
I have one lol love me a el Camino!
A 68ss loaded. Full restoration with little x-tra. She'll never leave me!!!!!!!! Got to luv em... price $68.000+ best $ I ever spent.
We need a crew cab 4x4 with a v8 power windows and locks for 30k
2yrs ago I bought my 2018 f150 4x4 super crew for 28,000 with 17,500 miles at enterprise auto sales.
@@hahaha9133 damnnn, thatsva deal man
Love those R/T Ram single cabs
bought my first pickup truck, toyota tundra double cab sr5 5.7l v8 last year, love it.
I have a 2015 Silverado WT2 package and I gotta say I love the thing. It's simple but yet effective. I had a 2002 Silverado base work truck for ten years and it ran great. Got totaled when parked in front of my house tho so I go this used with 80k on it. It pretty much still feels like new. And cause it's a single cab it is good on gas and has some power as well (5.3L V8 with 4x4). I got it for under 20k and again I love it. Good stuff guys. Love this channel.

@@bobbyberrier8175 how?
@@astro6125 cause i said so
@@bobbyberrier8175 haha ur a comedian I was asking an actual question
like it or not, scotty is telling the truth. Those trucks are super expensive and unreliable
Was at dodge the other day, they're asking 54k CDN for a regular cab shortbox sport. Checked ford they want 82k CDN for a platinum ecoboost. This is why the shit doesn't sell, they're not selling trucks anymore...they're selling luxury.
I'm buying a 76 Ford F-250 for 3500. It is tricked out too
well it is a "platinum" right? its worth used 2007 aston martin DB9 money right? :D
Yep!
In california? Come to LA and you'll see one in every block
Fr @sa truckin
Diablos Crew got a lot of Ram R/T i see mostly those trucks in cali
Alot of truck clubs have dropped r/ts
Truck scene in SoCal is big
Rts an silverados and Lightning’s
Thank you for the information on the RT. I'm actually going to take a look at that truck this weekend.
I've been waiting for the right one to come along and it finally did. Absolutely love my Ram R/T
Yea no shit I can't afford 80,000 dollar's well trucks are not geared for the poor man as far as pricing
Trucks aren’t meant to be luxury cruisers. They’re meant for hauling stuff and for work. Shame that they’ve become so soft and cushy.
NorthAmerican Auto Why. If they can do the same job... and keep you comfortable at the same time. My only problem with high end luxury is.... MORE THINGS TO FIX. Im a Mechanic btw😂
Even if you are rich. It's stupid to spend that on something built to work
@@northamericanauto43 small spelling correction, "$oft and Cou$hy". Other than that right on!!!
Ray Pruitt A Ram rt is between 20 thousand and 36 thousand, Js
Love tundra's, wish they made super/heavy duty variants for them.
agreed, but they wouldn't sell enough of them to justify the r & d
they are fuckin huge inside, only like a ram mega cab is bigger inside
I heard they are going to make a heavy duty tundra with a cummins engine
they do I seen the first cummins tundra the other day, hideous truck but it's got a 5.0l v8 diesel
+Ryan Rohauer are you sure what you saw wasn't a titan xd?
I think a big reason for the Tundra and Titan not doing well is because of styling. Lots of guys buy their truck for the image proposition. The Tundra and Titan are not attractive at all, especially when you put them beside the handsome styling of the Dodge, Chevy and Ford. Then there's the value. The American trucks are very competitive and offer many unique features. But mostly I think it comes down to loyalty. Your average truck buyer wants to replace their Dodge, Chevy or Ford with another Dodge, Chevy or Ford and buying a Japanese truck is sacrilegious.
Titan is meh, toyota is gorgeous. I think it's pricing. nissan and toyota are expensive. you can get more for less with the domestics.
+XG0WNLUK3X gorgeous?? i wouldn't go that far. the front looks like the face a sumo wrestler praying mantis hybrid. lol
+XG0WNLUK3X it's actually the opposite, trim for trim the tundras (and last gen titans) are always cheaper, they have to undercut the domestics to get them off the lots, doesn't apply to tacomas because they sell
I dont like the look of my Tundra. But It's just me and I do not like the looks pretty much of all cars around. If it was me - everyone would be riding Jag E-types and Astons DB5s
390merc65 I approach to her with my eyes closed. Inside its not so bad. But I feel bad for upcomming traffic.
The Tundra comes with axles and differentials. WOW! Nice to know. :)
In Texas we actually have a ton of tundras
There are a lot in California too. I swear there are almost as many Tundra's as F-150's and Silverado's around LA.
people are starting to realize that the Tundra is a very reliable beast
390merc65 i heard Ford uses a lot of glue
390merc65 oh and Ford also uses fake V-8 engine sounds bwahahahaha, fake mpg numbers, fake employee pricing, fake 0% interest that's already included in the real price, what else, let me think about it lmao
+390merc65 yeah it was called an fj and it outwheeled and out powered all current jks. Toyota only made them for a few years that was their intention from the beginning
there's a whole lot of R/T's cruising here in Arizona
I swear only Hispanics buy them lol
Lol same here in Houston they are nice tho

Cool video idea! Really enjoyed that one.
Well done video guys-- you explain stuff clearly and keep it moving-- liked it a lot--
Toyota made their rep on trucks? Yeah, tell that to all the corollas, camrys and lexus'...
Tell that to the Hilux's and Land Cruisers..
Cham Rav Which both sold less than the Corolla combined. I had a hilux myself, it was a good car, no hate, just don't want to give toyota offroaders too much credit. I also want a HJ80 Land Cruiser really badly.
and Coronas.
Hahahaha! Right?! Toyota made its name on GROCERY GETTER cars and the Supra. that's about it! Trucks?! Other than the taco which has been around almost as long as the Nissan, there isn't a single tundra older than 15 years yet. Making them way less ugly and making a heavy duty option is what would sell more of them.
Yes,70's.
I’m in the process of buying a single cab 5.7 v8 Ram. It’s very inexpensive and VERY nice. Great truck.
Very GAY
@@That90sShow MG...you really shouldn't say anything🤣
@@TammyMartinBLUE A grown woman using emojis... SMH pathetic
thanks for the video guys.
I have a 2015 R/T just like the one on this video and it is AWESOME! Love that truck.
I think all naturally aspirated gas trucks are overlooked. All this cheering and rooting for these overhyped ecodiesel, eco-crap engines that are more expensive, less reliable, yet often don't even perform better in the real-world.
The Cummins powerstroke and duramax are all turbo and more reliable.
Dodge 318 Cummins
I've owned both trucks, a 2012 Silverado HD with the Duramax and what I'm currently driving, a 2013 Ram 3500 with the Cummins 6.7L. And no, they aren't reliable at all, or at least they aren't for me and many other owners. The emissions systems ruin them and they're expensive as hell to fix.
+emdec55 just delete all the emissions crap. Are you out of the warranty yet?
Dodge 318 Cummins
I really, really I wish I could, but there is just no easy way to get away with deleting diesels in California, so I have to live with emissions systems.
Seriously, the sound, the simplicity, the throttle responsiveness of a NA V8. Even if these doped up engines could get the mileage promised by the manufacturers (which they don't), I'd still pick a Ford 5.0L, a Hemi, Hell, even Nissan's gas V8 over any of them. You know, the new Cummins ISV is big disappointment. I don't even know why anyone would consider it.
Too bad Ford quit making the Ranger. Now that's a reliable truck. My 1999 Ext Cab 3.0l 5 spd Ranger is just short of 400,k miles-original engine/trans. Just put my 5th clutch it-needs new rotors and u joints. Had to replace the entire AC system this year (it's not right but it works) cause the factory system finally quit. New Ranger coming soon based on the current Explorer-doubt it'll be near as good.
It was never going to be based on the then-current FWD unibody Explorer!
My 2002 Ranger (same engine and transmission as yours) must have come off a bad assembly line. It was unreliable and needed constant repairs. I finally just sold it.
My 99 ranger w Ext cab off road 4/4 has the same 3.0 L still running today at 243,000 I have had only basic maintenance just a little rust on the front bumper nothing else still runs like the day I bought it a solid built truck!!!
I just got a 2017 frontier because I'm moving to Colorado soon so I can tow my wrx and so far me and my wife love it
I have a 2012 R/T the truck is a beast! It is tuned to perform like a challenger / charger r/t right on down to suspension. Turns many heads when I come down the road even when it's dirty
My primary issue with any new truck is I need a 4x4 with NO luxury extras. I will be working the hell out of it so I don't need any chrome or anything else luxury based. Finding a base model with the engine I want, with 4x4, towing options, decent tires and cab that I can sleep in if I have to.....it does not exist. I always end up with a $40,000+ truck and I do not need what they come with. I will just use my old Wrangler and trailer until the wheels fall off and then I will put them back on and use it some more. The modern truck market has left this old man behind.
PlanktoniusRex It's almost like you want to use your truck like a tool instead of a status symbol or something.
You kniw the rules, anything less than a monthly mortgage payment is not allowed. Now go back to using your truck as a pampered luxury vehicle that youre too afraid to get dirty.
Change is inevitable, you must adapt
I simply don't understand this comment. Getting a used base model truck with 4x4 is easy. Towing options? Even if it doesn't have them stock, get aftermarket for pennies on the dealer price.
You're lack of being slightly creative is why you can't find the truck you want.
some of those trucks are just too expensive. In a few months, you'll add the new tacoma pro to that list.
I still have my old '97 Dodge SS/T. Bought 2014 quad cab Express with a Hemi last July. Felt like driving a bus it was so long. Traded it in on a 2014 R/T last week and love it!
I love my Frontier. Got it new in 05' and have put it through hurricanes, off road sand and mud. Someone poured 5 gallons of diesel in and it ran on it for 2 days. I have friends with V8 half tons that have commented on how punchy the 4.0 V6 is and on top of a great engine, I have only had a problem with the injectors after the diesel. Super truck!
I would rather have a 5.0 f150 than the ecoshit
same
me too. besides that, I won't buy anything that has "eco" on it. I just hate the way it sounds. And the way Roman says "eco-boost" really makes me cringe. Idk why.
thought so too but damn it i bit the bullet after I drove the Lil fckr... damn it's fast... but even better i got a lifetime drive train warranty with the lil gene pig.
my ecoboost is a way better engine than the 5.0 imo.
I don't like the name of the Ecoboost and I don't like the sound. But it's a twin turbo and very impressive when towing and from 0-60. So far I never regretted buying one.
Finally you guys give some press to the Ram R/T
I just bought a super clean Ram R/T in blue and it is an amazing truck. Fun to drive and a real head turner.
I like the Denali. It feels like your driving a space ship.
Other than that, if your looking used, I've always loved the 88-98 Chevy's and GMC's. Really great reliable trucks. You do have to keep an eye on the 4l60e and 4l80e transmissions however, but just keep them serviced properly and they will last. I think 75% of the vehicles I have owned have been 88-98 Chevy and GMC trucks.
LOVE my 2017 F150 with the Coyote 5 liter V8 mama jama!
Best Truck/ longest life truck= 2002-2006 Dodge Cummins 5.9L the original Million Mile Truck that can pull a house down
Just jumped 300,000 on mine. Love it, super dependable.
good list I definitely think you hit the nail on the head about the Ram R/T
Love my 2011 F-150 with the 5.0. Fx4 and crew cab as a jack of all trades vehicle it’s awesome and has power to burn, and sounds awesome doing it with the stingers.
Liked the dodge r/t I'm looking for that kind of hemi truck around my area it is nice truck
im from denver and i see lot of the r/t rams and i personally love them
I’m in sterling and never see them
Frontier is a great mid- sized truck! I used to work for a Nissan dealership and fell in love with a 2014 crew cab with a 6 speed
I have an 06 frontier with 220k. Love that truck like crazy!
I just bought a new Tundra. I love it, I actually thought it was pretty popular.
Jimmy witch model did you buy. I just bought a 2016 sunset bronze TRD off road package and I love it!
these videos should be 3 minutes or less

Amen!
I enjoy these vids
Bought a brand new Dodge Cummins Diesel in 2015, has been through 3 transmissions, many other things, they have finally recalled the transmissions but not before we put our 3rd 1 in, Asked the dealers at a car show this year if they have made changes to the tranny on the 2018, they said no! As much as we liked the Dodge, and being a Chevy girl myself, the trucks you mentioned along with the new Ford's look to be the best ones out this year, Have a good friend that bought brand new Chevy, after 49,000 miles, had problem after problem, she is now going after dealer for the lemon law. great video, Thank you!
I have two 1996 f150s. One with a 302 that has 240,000 miles and one with a 300 I-6 that has 250,000 miles. Both still run great. Simple tried and true engineering and easy to work on for the little things.
I may be wrong but last I heard from my Ram dealer near me recently is that the Ram 1500 R/T was discontinued.
+Darkhorse87 Ram 1500 r/t is here at least for 2016.
They are a dime/dozen here in Mexico. I could get a used 2015 with 10 thousand kilometers for about $9000 dlls.
isn't it pretty much the same as a 2004 rumble bee?
here in America it's called Sport instead of RT
+Hemi Power Oh okay, I was misinformed. Thanks
R/T's also very popular here in mexico.
that Ram Rt is a beast! hopefully i can find one in a couple years in good condition!
The Silverado WT (work trucks) are great trucks that are overlooked. Yes, you mentioned the GMC work trucks but the Silverado WT (Work Truck) tends to be easier to find. In my case I was able to find a 2014 Silverado WT2 for around 22,500. It has less then 80,000 miles and is a crew cab 4x4 with a 5.3 V8. It has most of the comfort features of the next trim level too such as power windows, power door locks and a blue tooth radio.
IMO, the best lookin Silverado body style is the 03-06, just a clean look
I love my tundra. I went to buy a new Silverado. I wasn't impressed with the interior. It looked just like all the old models. Once I drove a tundra there was no going back.
My 2019 F150 with 5.0 is a far better truck than any crappy Toyota. F150's sell 8-1 over Toyota !
@@5litreho I have a 18 5.0 f150 but it is not better than a tundra 🤷♂️
I bought a Toyota Tundra TRD off road and one of the things I noticed was on a technical level it's one of the most "old school" basic trucks out there. It's full size, has a naturally aspirated V8, steel body, 4x4, no auto start stop technology, no cylinder deactivation, no self park, no blind spot monitoring, no lane departure sensors, no 360 overhead camera, no infrared night vision, no heads up display, no parking sensors, no sun roof, no heated seats, no power seats, no power mirrors, no telescoping pedals, no wireless phone charger, no onstar, no power rear window....
It's just a big reliable steel 4x4 truck....and I love it. I even hear a 2nd Tundra made it to 1 million miles with no major repairs needed.
I wanted a red regular cab short bed RT ram so bad. I thought that truck was a modern old school truck. Loved the 2 seater with the center console
I just discovered Ram makes the 2022 Classic 1500 in a regular cab short (6'4") box 4x4 with optional power bucket seats AND a full length console AND a 5.7L Hemi V8. It's very similar to this truck but has an 8-speed auto instead of a 6-speed auto. Hopefully Ram will eventually offer this same configuration with the latest generation 1500.
I also read recently GM is finally bring back the Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 4x4's in the regular cab short box configuration but only in work truck trim. I'm not positive but they may be available with the optioned 5.3L V8 so there's hope. Ford still makes the F150 with the 5L V8 in this configuration but not with bucket seats and full length console like the Ram Classic.
EDIT: The name 'short box' is commonly used but all of these regular cabs with the shorter beds are actually 'standard beds' around 6 - 6.5'. The actual short boxes are around 5.5' and not offered in regular cabs.
As for my Nissan Frontier, if she ain't broke don't fix 'er
Trans will need to be fixed
Bring back 5, 6, 8, 10 speed manual transmission with 5.0 V8 engine under 30K
Why would you want a manual with more than 6 speeds in a passenger car
Driving a 10 speed semi gets to be a pain in the city
I just bought a 2017 Silverado 1500 Double cab work truck. 5.3L, 6 speed, 3:42 axle. It's an awesome truck. For a base model truck I got touch screen audio Bluetooth and back up camera. Tow package with brake control. I got it for $29k with 5 miles on it. It has everything I NEED and more than I could have expected for a base model truck. I couldn't be happier!
Allen Roby was it a 4x4?
Love my 2012 standard cab shortbed 4x4 Hemi
In México the R/T is one of the most common trucks on the road.
Because people is dumb. They NEVER put anything on the actual box or care about towing lol they just want a big drug dealer stupid truck, so annoying, they even make it shorter and put even slimmer tires, so frustrating, now THATS a small penis right there, buying trucks that will never ever see an inch of dirt.
David James but its perfect cocaine transport truck, not too big or small just perfect
Elias16 😂😂😂
Elias16 same cocaine that is feeding your daughters ?
Well I use one to tow and carry non drug related stuff...
Plain and simple, cost! Buying a $60k truck is just not reasonable anymore... Considering that trucks haven't improved 'that' much in the last 5-7yrs...
I personally don't own the RT model but I own the regular express. its pretty much the same as an RT without the bells and whistles. this is an awesome truck and the mileage is not terrible and it pulls for days. my truck is a 2013 and rated around the 9500 pound mark. I had tow a camper aprox 200 miles and my mother, whose camper it was weighing in at around 6500 pounds, looked over and I was doing 80 mph. she asked me how much more power the truck had just out of curiosity. I buried the throttle and it pulled up to 90 with ease. these powerful truck are ridiculous and I get around 16.5 mph city and 21 hwy. I will always support these trucks!
I recently purchased a 2017 dodge ram 1500 4x4 reg. Cab with mechanical locks and crank windows and i absolutely love it..... But the point is i havnt seen another single cab at all especially without power doors
Great Trucks
I have a 2003 Ford f150 with a 180000 miles that's very reliable.never gives me a problem and it's a v6.
i got a 93 ford ranger 4.0 with 300,000 lol.
my 02 f150 took a shit around 170000 miles but I beat the hell out of it. it was good while it lasted. now I got a 2014 GMC Sierra
+barry beatty everybody looking for good truck, obviously not you.
I have a 94 f150 5.8L V8 runs a drives great still. I'm only the second owner of it. only issue now is that it needs new exhaust and locking hubs.
+Alvaro Martinez Oh and 220K miles.
I’m good with my 02 Dodge Dakota 5.9L V8 might engine swap it for a 6.2L LS3 or a 6.4 HEMI in the future depending on how much I want to spend on it
I like your video guys. Also on used trucks, the ford ranger is a good buy. The 4.0 and the 3.0 are great motors. I have had 3 rigs with the 3.0 V6 and they had way over 300.000 miles when i sold them and still running great. Note, service the transmission in them (AT) every 30.000 miles and they keep on trucking. As far a new, i NEVER buy new as you can get them soooooo much less after 4 or 5 year (even 10 yrs old) and alot of guys don't put alot of miles on them.

probably a chevy 454 single cab as the 90's but 2016 or 2017
I bought a used 2004', 2500 Dodge ram , I'm surprised with this truck, I had it for 2 years all ready, I only changed the motor oil when needs it and universal joints one time. No big issues yet, drives excellent.
I wanted the Ram R/T but couldn’t find one anywhere near me here in MS. So I used CarGurus and found a low-mileage Black 2014 Ram 1500 ST 4x4 20” Chrome Sport Wheels w/Hemi & 3.92’s in TN. It has the 40/20/40 cloth bench seat so I had the dealership change them out for leather seats. Haven’t even picked it up yet but can’t wait.
Everyone seems to want 4 door "people trucks'" which are basically SUVs with open beds. I think trucks are too big and too plush now.
+Rollo Larson
LOL, TRUE
It's all a matter of what you are used to driving. If you aren't economically challenged, nor have to navigate narrow european streets, the extra cabin space of an extended cab and/or 4 dr is nice, while the open bed obviously allows taller cargo, and messier cargo than the carpeted payload area of an SUV.
They make all 3 vehicle configurations so buy whatever you want, as will everyone else despite your not understanding their reasons.
Hard to take a family of 5 in a standard cab
whats wrong with plush
I'd want an extended cab at the least. I like having back seats in case I ever need to give more than one person a ride and it's also good for having a bit of extra room in case you can't put something in the bed for some reason. I never understood the two door trucks honestly.
People don't buy a base line GMC because you can get a base Chevy for far cheaper. Plus the people buying a top of the line GMC doesn't buy it to haul stuff. They buy it as a status symbol.
Just like my buddy who spent a lot of money outfitting his Wrangler but never take it off road, mall crawler. Lol
I understand building up a truck to look cool. I bought a lightning but I'm not afraid to open it up or pull a trailer. I'll never use it as a tow rig or fill the bed with mulch. Trucks are so damn expensive now the working man who'd use it for how it's built can't afford them. The new f-450 power stroke is $85,000 for fuck sake!!!
I have a Silverado LS FWD and I love that thing! Cloth buckets, power windows and locks. Manual transfer shift with the mighty mouse V8.
That’s why I love my R/T! I don’t see too many others around.
Tundras not selling? o_O Here in Maine, I see TONS of them. Maybe us Mainers know a damn good truck when we see one.
I can attest to not seeing the Dodge R/T anywhere. Hell, I have not even seen any of the stealerships here in Maine selling one. I *DID* find an 07 Rumblebee that I freakin DROOLED over, though lol
Biker Dash “mainers”
I love tundras.
stealerships hahahahhaa goodone
You sound bitch
The ram RT sells very well in Mexico. I see them every day and their are bought mostly by cartel guys or wannabes. I personally like the 2 door and I like this RT because 2 door symbolizes youth. is a hot chick sees you they think you're single and with money (yeah, gold diggers but I don't want them for marriage just fun).
It's mexico, lol you don't call the cops on them in Mexico.
But at least the Dodge would be running. Not like the GM and Ford that breakdown due to recalls. They would fall apart trying to cross the border.
another reason cause they make them in Mexico. I actually own a 2015 Ram RT, when I was shopping for one the dealer (Southern California) I went to had 3, I bought one of them the other 2 were gone the same week. One reason they don't have high sell numbers they didn't make too many into RT trim and also Ram carries the regular express which is pretty much the same except its not equipped with all the bell and whistles. Not mention the price tag they stat at 37k and go up to 41k people aren't going to pay that for a single cab especially if you skip out the fancy stuff and get it for mid to high 20's.
***** it does have better gearing but its useless since its rolling on 22's
+Sam Thompson don't be "that guy" ok.... your precious Ram has just as many problems. none of the big 3 are immune.
The F150 4x4, Single Cab, XLT 5.0 w/bench seat... That truck is an awesome sleeper... 2" front lowering kit and a bed leveler kit and you got one sweet truck...
My dad has the R/T and it's a beast it's an amazing truck and he out some mods lowered it down and it does 13 second quarter miles it's just crazy cool
dodge ram R/T.... r/t Means road/track🔥👌❗💯💯💯💯
Jason Truckin Around RT means Rust Toilet
the Dodge Rams are pretty nice but they drink too much gas definitely gas Hogs and the way the economy is now with gas prices constantly going up truck will send you to The Poorhouse because you will constantly keep putting gas in it
andre s. Gas here in Florida isn’t to bad. Do you live in California? The gas prices there are horrible.
@@Greg-op7lg
Yes Southern California
andre s. Makes sense
small pickup trucks that were good but not popular in North America: Isuzu and Mitsubishi
+zStickmaster today's Tacoma and Colorado are actually midsize trucks, and they're not cheap. I like the old school size like the Isuzu Hombre.
+Turbo Diesel the 80s and early 90s Isuzu and Mitsubishi compact trucks were Japanese, not Chevy and Dodge respectively.
My 92 Isuzu 4x4 with the chevy 3.1 is still rolling, with nearly 300k miles on it!
Lucas King the early 90s Isuzu pup with a V6 engine had a GM V6.
Yeah that's what I said, chevy is gm, it was based on the 2.8l that was found in pretty much everything, most notably S-10's and Blazers, the small 30 year old mail trucks still rock around with those little 2.8l v6's on S-10 frames.
i am in love with the RAM R/T. the short wheel base and handling performance with the the same horsepower as a truck weighing much more. also the intimacy of a single cab is nostalgic. i owned a "04 SRT/10 (black, of course) a few years back and this is the only truck that even comes close to that experience.
@@erino.6432 2004
@@erino.6432 2017 because it’s the last year production and u get the most offering with all the things it’s latest model come with
I own one of these truck in white and I can say the ram is amazing. Great everything. I ended up spending 28k on a nice one after all said and done with warranty and taxes.
I find it weird that the Tundra is included in this. Here in Oklahoma I see Tundra's as much as I see F-150's or Silverado's. I mean maybe they don't see well in other parts of the states but here in the South the Tundra's are really popular.
