- Friends, Family, Men, Women, and Children; welcome to our channel. Ryan and Rachel here, we are weekend warriors exploring Pennsylvania and beyond; with our daughter Sarah, son William, and our two dogs (Trigger and Lilly). Our 2019 Wildwood X-Lite is towed behind our new 2021 RAM 2500 BigHorn. We hope you will subscribe, join us on some of our adventures and be inspired to go on your own adventures.
In this Episode:
We talk about our first 6 months owning a 2021 RAM 2500. We answer your comments left on the reveal video, and talk about why we chose RAM over Ford and GM trucks.

Great video mr Ryan. You and your family rock my socks!
I figured Remmy ate all your socks…
Here's what I've learned about people....they have really strange thoughts based on hear say and trends. Now Here's what I've learned from owning my 6.4 3500 SRW since 2014. Mopar batteries are not that good...but after regular maintenance and oil changes I am in love with my truck. Never has failed besides the battery dying twice during ownership and the key fob being replaced because the battery died sand wouldn't pair with the truck. 2014 tradesmen has floor 4x4 shifter and traditional column shifter. I plan to upgrade the battery to an AGM Odyssey.
Yes, people tend to throw facts out the window these days. I think all the manufacturers produce pretty good trucks these days. I still love my 6.4, and it does everything I ask of it. I haven’t had battery issues yet, but will probably be replacing with an AGM at some point.
I have a 2015 Ram 2500 6.4L. I just replaced the original battery this past February. I've plowed with it from its first winter up to this one. I'd call almost eight years and 90K miles pretty good.
2019 ram did necessary upgrades to 6.4 lifters/oil pressure and they appear to be very reliable engines now mated to 8 speed trans.
Hi, do you have a source for this?
I personally have not seen much about it. The 8 speed is a very reliable transmission though.
Pretty sure the 5.7 and 6.4 both have the same issues throughout their whole lifetime and ram has done jack shit about it
Cool color.....
Thanks!
It is hard to get use to plowing snow with that knob. But over time iam getting use to it. Plus my plow controller is closer to the knob making it easier.
I have to get that tailgate cover for sure now. Thanks
I get the PUP from the dealership, my first time buying it there was $11 qt buy now since I been buy it there over time iam getting it a $9 a qt. I ask if they lower the price they said no, it was that iam a return customer and I get a little discount and more I buy from them I get a little bit more off.
I know that one our auto parts stores does the same thing with there customers.
Interesting, 9$ a quart would be cheaper than the Amazon kit. I’ll have to see if that’s a standard procedure.
You’ll definitely like the TechLiner. If I didn’t have a cargo glide, I’d get that for the whole bed.
The column shifter was electronic also, all way back to the shifter in console (electronic)..
Yeah, they have been for a while. The dial just isn’t as user friendly, especially for plowing snow. We just got a 22 tradesman at work for this purpose and it’s really not easy. I also don’t like that it shifts itself to park if you open a door.
How about a yellow/red flame wrap coming off the front fenders running down the sides of the truck.
That would look really cool 😎
Hv 18 Ram 6.7, thinking of trading with Ram 6.4 Mega Cab. Gas here in California is almost $7 per gallon, traffic sucks here. I'm just worried about that ticking n camshaft issues
. Hopefully they fix the problem already by next year.
If you don’t let your truck sit and idle (which wastes a lot of that 7$ gas) you won’t have issues with the Hemi. If you’re really concerned, you can look at a HellCat oil pump, which is a higher volume pump and will give better pressure at idle.
Hi thanks for taking the time in making these videos. Wanted to ask you, is it common to hear minor wind noise on the passenger side when going over 70 mph? In my 2022 tradesman crew cab It sounds as if the window is slightly open and you hear the wind but its only on the passenger side i hear this when im on the highway. Its not unbearable but slightly noticable. Just curious if this is something common with rams especially 2500's? Thanks for your time
I do hear some wind noise, I’ve always attributed it to the vent visors I installed, but I really don’t know what the cause is. I always have the radio on, so I usually forget about it.
@@mountainsintomemories Thank you sir for your reply, this information helps.
Have you thought of getting an aux tank? Im looking into getting a Ram 2500 Hemi. Cant find 4.10 rear end though kinda shitty. But my TT is 9,000 and not looking to go much heavier if we do get a bigger one we full time travel for my work.
I’m looking at the Titan aux tank that fits over the wheel wells. If I decide to get it there will be a video about it. It would definitely help, especially when we head south this fall. You could probably get away with the 3.73 if you’re towing on mostly flat ground. I got the 4.10 because we seem to hit steep grades on our routes.
I'm playing catch up I just Watched this video. The problem with the cummings or any diesel is the expense of maintenance in my opinion.
I agree, I would also say expense of repairs if something were to break. The Hemi maintenance isn’t really cheap either with the SRT oil requirement. My old truck I was able to run much cheaper oil.
I get comments on my hydro blue 2020 1500 Ram everywhere I go ... I will be upgrading to a 2500 gas or 3500 diesel soon and it will be another hydro blue . 💙
West Virginia is a beautiful state, but I imagine those mountains get quite a bit of snow in winter. We’re actually heading to Summerville lake here shortly, it’s one of our favorite places.
@@mountainsintomemories
I use to go camping and 🐟 fishing 🎣 there in My teens . I go to Cader key Florida a lot ...Yes we get big snows 🌨 here . I use to like the cold but the blood thinker makes me freeze now. Summersville is a beautiful place . When you get a chance check out Timbren Bump stops and see what you think. They seem to work great for Rams .
I think Timbren's might be in our future, especially when we upgrade rigs. We will need something quite a bit bigger when we go full time, and even now this one is too small. We are looking at Cougar Travel Trailers, I think Keystone makes a good rig!
@@mountainsintomemories
Yelp , cougar 290rls has the washer dryer prep is why I want it and it's 34.9 long . I rather have one under 30 feet but I need the washer dryer .
.
I don’t like the pass side mirror on my 2022 Ram 2500. It’s 1:1 making vision like a laser beam (very narrow) and the convex mirror is tiny. Most vehicles pass side main mirror are slightly convex.
Yeah the passenger side is the one I struggle with the most, but it’s not too bad.
How does the Hami preform in the mountains and how bad is it on the mpg
The Hemi with 8 speed and 4.10 gears does great in the mountains. I’ve had no issues keeping 70mph on interstates in West Virginia which has some steep grades. Most other east Coast states I can use cruise control set at 70, no drama. Mpg is anywhere from 7-11 towing depending on terrain, wind, and weather. Generally it gets about 8.5mpg.
Update video on the truck...? I bought a 22 ram 2500 brand new and now have 30K on it. Id be interested in seeing how the two doffer if at all
Update video has been filmed, but it's still a few weeks away. I want to reveal the new RV and then it'll make sense to talk about the truck and see if it's capable of handling the new rig.
I've just crested 30k miles on mine as well, so we're in the same neighborhood.
Which dealership did you purchase from? I want one of these with the same options in Silver if they have it. Thank you
I got it from Tri Star in Somerset PA. Ask for Steve Marano, he's their sales manager.
Thank you very much!
Whats your thoughts on the Hemi going away to be replaced with a twin turbo inline 6
I would’ve liked it better if it was 4.0L instead of 3.0L. I think it’s a great option for 1500 trucks though. I do like in-line 6 cylinders, so it has potential. I won’t be first in line to buy one in an HD.
@@mountainsintomemories from what I've been reading they're supposed to have two options, both are supposed to have more horsepower and torque then the 6.4, but the higher output 6 is requiring 91 octane
I would bet the HD trucks will all be the HO version, but hard to say for sure.
@@mountainsintomemories I currently have a 2020 Ram 2500 tradesman. It has a lot of the Big Horn accessories on it. It also has a 6.4 hemi. I'm pulling a 7600 lb Flagstaff 36 ft camper with no trouble whatsoever.
👍👍💯💯💖⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you latch the driver seat belt, the vehicle will move in drive or reverse
I’ve heard that before, I never remember in the moment. I’ll have to try one of these days
@Mountains into Memories I am a mechanic and when doing alignments we have to roll the truck to compensate the heads. So it needs to be in neutral. There is a process with putting it in neutral by hitting a button or you can latch the seat belt , put in neutral and you are good to go.
So what are you getting in MPG? Ty
8 towing, 14-16 empty
@@mountainsintomemories That's about what I'm getting. I get less in the city.
Yeah I try to avoid city driving, I’m sure this truck would be a fuel hog in that environment.
just clip the seatbelt on the buckle without wearing it and you can back up with the door open
I’ll have to give that a shot!
Get a cheap short seatbelt extender and then you can engage the transmission anyway you want.
Not a bad idea, I might look into that!
Being a Valley Ca boy im glad i dont have to deal with the salt, dont go off road much at all... I love my 6.4 2021 Laramie, Pulls my TT anywhere i need to go. Yes, wish i had the blind spot warning as well but that would be my only real dislike
The salt is my biggest nemesis with vehicles. I’m hoping I’ve taken enough preventative measures with this truck to keep it nice. Thanks for watching!
More power not really! Sorry, I wish Toyota made a HD truck but ram hd is going to be my next truck! Worried about a 5000 repair bill!
I just seen JD power has RAM and most reliable pickups. I definitely see a lot less problems in the RAM groups than Chevy if that’s any indicator.
@@mountainsintomemories carcheck willing to sell a service contract for 108 a month to cover most issues. Buying a used truck that cost the same as a new one two years ago, dam inflation.
I cant focus on this video cause of the snake tail on top of your head 😮
lol the pheasant feathers stuck in my visor?
@@mountainsintomemories yeah, looks like iguana tail 😂
