I would like to see the interior of that truck in 10 yrs, that nice soft touch dash with the fake leather on it may look like alligator skin, (peeling and crunchy) after being in the sun
Not sure with the big deal is on the tungsten edition interior. If I'm not mistaken, it's the same/very similar interior to the 2018 and 2021 indigo blue interior of the Limited 1500 Hemi.
It's a cool truck, and I even don't hate the switch to inline 6 VS the old Hemi. More power and more efficiency is always welcome. It's just a shame that the vast majority of people have been priced out of the new car market, and will likely never get to own one.
Exactly, I looked at the local Nissan dealer and they had a market adjustment price for all Nissan Titans. Nissan is stopping production because of sales and the local dealer is gouging.
And yet people buy them in Australia. With right hand drive conversion and the exchange rate, Australians pay more than double. I do like that HO 6 cylinder though.
I'm in my sixties and have worked in automotive manufacturing all my life. Two things are a giving; people get laid-off and the bosses are paid too much!
Think the technology is getting a little ahead of itself without proving much long term durability. The cost of these trucks keep going up while the engines are getting smaller and more complex without any cuts in pricing. The ability to service your own vehicle is getting more difficult and parts are less accessible or of lower quality. The vehicles look nice, but I can't justify the price for what you get. I generally would give it a few years before considering buying one at a lower price if at all.
@calebmelton5989 Well, I got an 07 Yukon Denali and had to buy a used rear wiper motor recently because they no longer make them (oem and aftermarket). Can't imagine the trouble finding and replacing some of these specialized touch screens (new escalade) or electronic parts when they fail years later. Guess you'd be lucky if there's any aftermarket option for them.
I really can't imagine that an engine with 3 liters (180 cu inches) and 540 hp will last. This kind of output is like a race car engine. It might run perfectly when new, but a time goes on, good luck.
The high output version of this engine is running something like 28psi of boost - that is nuts! But then again, most of these will be mall crawlers so will spend majority of its life out of boost.
The 2025 Ram 1500 is a very nice looking, powerful and with a luxury interior second to none. The price is far beyond what I would budget for a vehicle but there is no denying it's about as nice as it gets.
Yep, and the reason why is that is the case definitely should be something TFL should be talking about. I've heard some bad corporate ideas before, but this one is special in a bad way.
I just picked up a 23 Ram Classic regular cab 4x4 with the 5.7 and 8ft box. 47k Cdn with tax. The salesman said, No one is buying high end Rams or Jeeps because of the price gouging from Stellantis!

I’ve owned 3 Rams. 2011, 2016 and a 2019. All three leaked water in from the rear brake light and all 3 the black pillar decals had to be replaced. Have they fixed the issues with the rear brake light leaking into the interior?
I have a 2017, it was never the rear brake light leaking, its actually the rear cabin vents, the gaskets are cheap and degrade over time, allowing water to flow behind and into the truck, parts are cheap but have to remove the entire back seat to replace
@@youngblood23rb the 3rd brake light gasket was very much a issue for leaks. I’ve had 2012 & 2014 1500’s and still have a 2015 2500 and I had to replace the 3rd brake light gaskets on all 3 to fix leaking into the cab. I never touched the vents on any of them.
@@SoonerMikeD Just explaining my experience, did you remove your back seat and test the vents to see if they are water tight? If so I am glad you got lucky
I'm so glad that Ram doesn't overdo the chrome on the front like those other guys, my opinion of course. To me, the Ram truck looks like a truck and not a novelty. Good job, Ram!
The last thing I want is hands-free driving. My friend had a Cadillac with the Super-Cruise and he was involved in a minor accident. He said, "Never Again"! I like the styling and I especially like the Sea Salt color leather interior.
True, you shouldn't be driving if you need that 'hands free' feature. Higher chance you'll get yourself into a bad situation. People need to focus on driving when driving.
@HAHA.GoodMeme Toyota rolls out newer technology slowly to reduce complications. Other manufacturers should follow Toyota by focusing on quality and reliability first then following it up with affordability.
Nice coverage Andre. Please start reviewing and comparing baseline trucks. I don’t like only being reminded how much I cannot afford things at the top end.
Dodge also had a 1978 Midnight Express in 1978 that was obviously Black in color with the same twin exhaust pipes as the Little Red Express. I remember seeing a few on the road and in pictures.
The wife and I ordered a 2025 1500 Limited and we got to test drive a Grand Wagoneer with the HO engine since the new 1500's hadn't hit the lots yet. It's super smooth and has a LOT of power. The dealer said our new truck will do about 4.7 from 0-60. Not too bad and almost as quick as my Challenger...almost. :)
Have to admit, although I am a v8 man, I believe Toyota and Nissan made it abundantly clear, the turbo straight six is the closest thing to a perfect engine. Really wish GM would have done it in their previous Trailblazer SS.
Beautiful truck, awesome interior. If I had the money I’d consider it along side a sierra Denali ultimate but maybe in a few years when we know about any gremlins in that hurricane engine.
My father had a '78 Dodge W250. I remember the Lil' Red Express, 10-year-old me loved that truck and wished we had that one instead. Also the 360 of the era was all about torque, not top-end power.
Because of what new trucks cost now, I'm most likely keeping my 2017 Ram1500 until I die. I've had zero problems with my 5.7L hemi that gets 22 MPGs on the highway.
Take care with oil change, avoiding doing Iddle with it: Hemi have a big design camshaft lubrification flawn (I know by experience 😢) Around 200k kilometers and you may have Hemi tick (with fuel consumption raising year by year).
Think the payloads on the PW are really low.. under 2k if I remember. (Maybe the 8ft would allow more?) To be fair, I guess it depends on what camper you are looking to drop in. Forget the Mammoths ;P Was thinking maybe a Rebel Gasser variant.. but those coils be hurting us.
Love Ram trucks. If and when I need to get a new truck I will stick with Ram, but I’m eyeing the Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter because it has that off road look that I like. Even though the Hemi V8 is gone, twin turbo V6 standard is pretty powerful compared to the current V8. I wouldn’t need the high output, not a gas saver because of having to use a higher octane. Still a awesome truck
I feel like Ram did a lot of things right on this redesign (new engine, interior, etc.), but one major thing wrong. The new trucks look very much like the old trucks.
For 90k I expect this truck to have free unlimited wifi, I expect it to have absolutely zero issues for life. Unlimited Free tires, battery, oil change’s, and and give me a fuel card too! Otherwise good luck selling your depreciating junk!
Beautiful truck. They refreshed it very gracefully. Im still having a hard time with the Hurricane COMPLETELY replacing the Hemi. I wish they wouldve eased the public into it by offering both this and the HEMI, for a while anyway. Im having a hard time getting behind the I6. Sure its more powerful and supposedly more efficient. 1-2 mpg isnt enough of a jump for me to consider this engine THAT more efficient. Ram claims the Hemi was going to start having trouble meeting newer emissions regulations, but we all know that if they wanted to get the HEMI up to snuff, they could have, they were just lazy and chose not to.
Because it's make driving chill and very safe, I have this from comma ai. and can drive easily 17hours in one day. Without this function, 8 hours was maximum possible.
Must be a glitch with the Rambox . My 2020 locks and unlocks with the doors. Rambox’s are great all my tie downs ,trailer hitches,wrenches are easy access and not cluttering up the cab. It is a deal breaker for me trying to by another brand new.
I don't think Ram even produces crank windows anymore and hasn't in years. We have a few Tradesmans at work and they're all power windows. I think they went away when the 4th gens came out.
That's a used first or second Gen. Yes, that's what I want. No electrical junk. Nothing on that new truck will be working in 20 years. It will be scrap while the 2nd Gen lives on.
Oh wow! you were right by me! Heck, are you still out this way? I CDL-catered to international planes here, crazy to see familiar areas in a video! Got a low mile 2nd gen 4.0 tacoma trd off road with low miles if you wanted to see one (as if the millions out west weren't enough)
The hands free thing is RIDICULOUS! Talk about falling asleep at the wheel not to mention when it malfunctions! I would crawl in the back seat and drink a 6 pack while the thing drives me to the casino!
If system requires you to drive at or below speed limit you'll just plain get run over especially on highways around Detroit or any Michigan freeway. I'm originally from south central Michigan
I would like to get a ‘74 truck, that was my first truck. Very hard to find in decent condition, they didn’t make that big of a volume of trucks back then and few survived
I don’t understand active cruse control. Why would you pay all that money and not drive your car/ truck? If I’m not in control or driving, I would buy the cheapest crap can I could get.
@@ronnestman4696interesting - does it help with fuel economy more than typical cruise control in your experience? I suppose that would make sense since it is reading the traffic pattern
The Hemi is a strong motor and great in massive wind storms. The Pentastar sucks in wind and holding cruise going up & down hills. I wonder on the Hurricane is going to handle wind and cruise.
@@pathunter7003 I drove the Ram with the V-6 and she didn't maintain speed using cruise control on a 6% grade nor in high winds. The Hemi never had any problems in either situation. This is why I'm curious about the Hurricane.
Hemi have a big camshaft lubrification design flawn (I know by experience 😢). So, around 200k kilometers Hemi tick start t va o occurr with fuel consumption raising year by year…

To tell how accurately you are centered in your lane look at the lane markers in both side view mirrors. If the mirrors show the markers are equal distance from your vehicle you are centered.
There are good reasons why other companies don’t have air suspension and it has a lot to do with normal truck buyers using their trucks in conditions where air just doesn’t stand up.
Ill keep my old 2017 Ram, 5.7 Hemi with only 122,000km and has been a great truck and still like new, no issues and i got a good one, no Hemi tick.

You are correct about the stacks Andre, I’m an owner of a 1979 Dodge Lil Red Express
I’ve owned 3 Rams. 2011, 2016 and a 2019. All three leaked water in from the rear brake light and all 3 the black pillar decals had to be replaced. Have they fixed the issues with the rear brake light leaking into the interior?
I have a 2017, it was never the rear brake light leaking, its actually the rear cabin vents, the gaskets are cheap and degrade over time, allowing water to flow behind and into the truck, parts are cheap but have to remove the entire back seat to replace
@@youngblood23rb the 3rd brake light gasket was very much a issue for leaks. I’ve had 2012 & 2014 1500’s and still have a 2015 2500 and I had to replace the 3rd brake light gaskets on all 3 to fix leaking into the cab. I never touched the vents on any of them.
I had two Ram's a 2010 and 2014 and neither had any leaks anywhere... however my 14 did have the issue with the pillar decals crinkling.
From my experience every brand of truck has small stuff like that happen. Buddy has a 2013 f 150 starting to fall apart electronically.
@@SoonerMikeD Just explaining my experience, did you remove your back seat and test the vents to see if they are water tight? If so I am glad you got lucky
I'm so glad that Ram doesn't overdo the chrome on the front like those other guys, my opinion of course.
To me, the Ram truck looks like a truck and not a novelty. Good job, Ram!
Great job Andre!!!
I love the 78 lil red express. For me that was the cats meow. I also like the small yellow one. It looks cool.
The last thing I want is hands-free driving. My friend had a Cadillac with the Super-Cruise and he was involved in a minor accident. He said, "Never Again"! I like the styling and I especially like the Sea Salt color leather interior.
True, you shouldn't be driving if you need that 'hands free' feature. Higher chance you'll get yourself into a bad situation. People need to focus on driving when driving.
0 issues with Toyota's system. very safe. And it's only supposed to be a driver aid anyway. Not a replacement for not paying attention.
It's safe and perfectly fine if your smart but it's dangerous if your stupid so guess what.
@HAHA.GoodMeme Toyota rolls out newer technology slowly to reduce complications. Other manufacturers should follow Toyota by focusing on quality and reliability first then following it up with affordability.
@@20tea not everybody wants to wait for a decade for toYota to make improvements tho
Nice coverage Andre. Please start reviewing and comparing baseline trucks. I don’t like only being reminded how much I cannot afford things at the top end.
🔥Thanks Andre and Ian..Love the Morning Coffee Entertainment 😁..Have GOOD Week Ahead everyone ✌️
Thank you for the kind words.
That is one good looking truck on the inside specially.
We can absolutely hear the expansion joints.
Dodge also had a 1978 Midnight Express in 1978 that was obviously Black in color with the same twin exhaust pipes as the Little Red Express. I remember seeing a few on the road and in pictures.
I can drive hands free too… with my knees
The wife and I ordered a 2025 1500 Limited and we got to test drive a Grand Wagoneer with the HO engine since the new 1500's hadn't hit the lots yet. It's super smooth and has a LOT of power. The dealer said our new truck will do about 4.7 from 0-60. Not too bad and almost as quick as my Challenger...almost. :)
Have to admit, although I am a v8 man, I believe Toyota and Nissan made it abundantly clear, the turbo straight six is the closest thing to a perfect engine. Really wish GM would have done it in their previous Trailblazer SS.
Gm had rumbles about a straight 6 gasser. I think they canned it for a smaller turbo v8.
Nice haircut! Lol. When my 4xe Wrangler comes off lease in 18 months I will have some good choices! Hands free is a must.
Time to get some rec dank Andre
I actually think the RAM RHO stands for "Ram Hemi Omitted"
Beautiful truck, awesome interior. If I had the money I’d consider it along side a sierra Denali ultimate but maybe in a few years when we know about any gremlins in that hurricane engine.
Over $90,000! Seriously? You can fit 6 lawyers or doctors in that truck!
My father had a '78 Dodge W250. I remember the Lil' Red Express, 10-year-old me loved that truck and wished we had that one instead. Also the 360 of the era was all about torque, not top-end power.
Where's the midsized trucks?
2027
Toyota, Ford, Nissan, and I suppose Honda.
Dakota !
@@843MudMafia. It was expected to be 2024 for a new Dakota. But it didn't happen.

Because of what new trucks cost now, I'm most likely keeping my 2017 Ram1500 until I die. I've had zero problems with my 5.7L hemi that gets 22 MPGs on the highway.
Take care with oil change, avoiding doing Iddle with it: Hemi have a big design camshaft lubrification flawn (I know by experience 😢) Around 200k kilometers and you may have Hemi tick (with fuel consumption raising year by year).
I wish the Power Wagon had an 8ft box. When I retire I want to carry a slide in camper.
Think the payloads on the PW are really low.. under 2k if I remember. (Maybe the 8ft would allow more?) To be fair, I guess it depends on what camper you are looking to drop in. Forget the Mammoths ;P
Was thinking maybe a Rebel Gasser variant.. but those coils be hurting us.
The Power Wagon payload is less than a 1/2 ton LOL.
@@Lex-Rex this tungsten is probably about 1100 lbs😖
Love Ram trucks. If and when I need to get a new truck I will stick with Ram, but I’m eyeing the Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter because it has that off road look that I like. Even though the Hemi V8 is gone, twin turbo V6 standard is pretty powerful compared to the current V8. I wouldn’t need the high output, not a gas saver because of having to use a higher octane. Still a awesome truck
I feel like Ram did a lot of things right on this redesign (new engine, interior, etc.), but one major thing wrong. The new trucks look very much like the old trucks.
That’s because it is the same truck, 2025 is just a refresh model year
My local dealer has the new ‘25MY’s for almost $9,500 off (unconditional dealer discount), and they just landed on dealer lots this month…
For 90k I expect this truck to have free unlimited wifi, I expect it to have absolutely zero issues for life. Unlimited Free tires, battery, oil change’s, and and give me a fuel card too! Otherwise good luck selling your depreciating junk!
Beautiful truck. They refreshed it very gracefully. Im still having a hard time with the Hurricane COMPLETELY replacing the Hemi. I wish they wouldve eased the public into it by offering both this and the HEMI, for a while anyway. Im having a hard time getting behind the I6. Sure its more powerful and supposedly more efficient. 1-2 mpg isnt enough of a jump for me to consider this engine THAT more efficient. Ram claims the Hemi was going to start having trouble meeting newer emissions regulations, but we all know that if they wanted to get the HEMI up to snuff, they could have, they were just lazy and chose not to.
Or maybe they did try and it couldn’t meet epa specs
Just what america needs a $90K hands free self driving mopar P/U.
That silver reflection off of the red PW 😊
Looks like the new truck that comes out tomorrow 🤠
Why do we need hands free driving?
So people can watch their favorite TH-cam videos while driving 80 MPH of course!🤔😏😳
Because it's make driving chill and very safe, I have this from comma ai. and can drive easily 17hours in one day. Without this function, 8 hours was maximum possible.
Must be a glitch with the Rambox . My 2020 locks and unlocks with the doors. Rambox’s are great all my tie downs ,trailer hitches,wrenches are easy access and not cluttering up the cab. It is a deal breaker for me trying to by another brand new.
Wish it would’ve been a complete refresh with a new exterior.
But then it wouldn't be a proper margin-maxxing cash cow, making up for Stellantis' terrible decision to all-in EVs.
Did I miss the engine discussion? How does it perform compared the the V8 besides fuel economy?
Better in everyway...except not sounding like an 8
wow, it's like they read my mind... I need a truck with MORE sensors.
Cool how Ian teleported to the park to film your arrival 👍🏻
I'll wait for the Ram Utilitarian Edition, where power windows and bumpers are optional
Less people buy stripper models than they do the fully loaded ones. Most people buy what's in the middle which is why the dealerships stock them.
I don't think Ram even produces crank windows anymore and hasn't in years. We have a few Tradesmans at work and they're all power windows. I think they went away when the 4th gens came out.
Warlock sounds like a good fit for you
That's a used first or second Gen. Yes, that's what I want. No electrical junk. Nothing on that new truck will be working in 20 years. It will be scrap while the 2nd Gen lives on.
I will wait for the model with steering wheel, brake and gas and open cab. That's all we need. 😂
Oh wow! you were right by me! Heck, are you still out this way? I CDL-catered to international planes here, crazy to see familiar areas in a video!
Got a low mile 2nd gen 4.0 tacoma trd off road with low miles if you wanted to see one (as if the millions out west weren't enough)
The hands free thing is RIDICULOUS! Talk about falling asleep at the wheel not to mention when it malfunctions! I would crawl in the back seat and drink a 6 pack while the thing drives me to the casino!
It alerts you after about 10 seconds that you're not paying attention. 😂
@@Jcruzer70 It is RIDICULOUS!
If system requires you to drive at or below speed limit you'll just plain get run over especially on highways around Detroit or any Michigan freeway. I'm originally from south central Michigan
@daveallen7767 They don't follow the speed limit 😁 If you set it 90mph then you stay at 90.
@@Jcruzer70 so it knows the person is texting, that’s great…
Looking forward to watching , thanks, have a Blessed Day!
I’m drawn to that truck too. I started driving in 1978.
I would like to get a ‘74 truck, that was my first truck. Very hard to find in decent condition, they didn’t make that big of a volume of trucks back then and few survived
I don’t understand active cruse control. Why would you pay all that money and not drive your car/ truck? If I’m not in control or driving, I would buy the cheapest crap can I could get.
Give it some time. It’s very useful especially in heavy traffic that moves briskly. It also REALLY helps with gas mileage!
@@ronnestman4696interesting - does it help with fuel economy more than typical cruise control in your experience? I suppose that would make sense since it is reading the traffic pattern
For people who drive 3-5 hours at a clip, not having to actively drive can be a big help and reduce stress.
It’s very nice in stop and go traffic and on long trips.
I agree driving gives you something to do. I’d be bored to death….
I did not expect the Dodge M80 to be that small 🤣🤣🤣 in pictures it looks like a full size truck omg 🤣🤣
Looks great
Congratulations Andre and thank's by your trim and excellent review.
impossible not to bring back my memories
BIG HUG from CDMX, México! 😮
They can’t even sell 23’s or 24’s! This is funny to watch the demise.
Who wants 24s on a truck WTH. This is a truck not a DONK
@@LBCosmicConcerns 2023’s or 2024’s…Duh!

The Hemi is a strong motor and great in massive wind storms. The Pentastar sucks in wind and holding cruise going up & down hills.
I wonder on the Hurricane is going to handle wind and cruise.
It doesn’t take much power to hold at highway speeds
@@pathunter7003 I drove the Ram with the V-6 and she didn't maintain speed using cruise control on a 6% grade nor in high winds. The Hemi never had any problems in either situation.
This is why I'm curious about the Hurricane.
Hemi have a big camshaft lubrification design flawn (I know by experience 😢). So, around 200k kilometers Hemi tick start t va o occurr with fuel consumption raising year by year…
When he put his foot down at 6:00, it sounded very disappointing, nonetheless, the ramcharger sounds like a winner, v8 options are always welcomed back! 😊

To tell how accurately you are centered in your lane look at the lane markers in both side view mirrors. If the mirrors show the markers are equal distance from your vehicle you are centered.
No way I would let it drive me around . We as working folk don’t need anything like it to much money and has no real use for it .
Andre i really enjoy your positive outlook on life. The TFL Team rocks
90k? Trucks are insane
As far as I'm concerned, newly released inmates running drywall and roofing jobs will appreciate the changes more than anyone @ 20%+ interest.
They didn’t change enough and way overpriced
It’s a gorgeous pickup 🤠
There are good reasons why other companies don’t have air suspension and it has a lot to do with normal truck buyers using their trucks in conditions where air just doesn’t stand up.
Yeah, air suspension doesn't stand up, huh? Especially on semi trucks, right?? 😂😂 good reason you got there
Is that a flip over tonneau cover? Also, I can’t imagine the secondary cost of owning one of those things.
