@@jehoiakimsmith3152 I tow my tree service equipment daily and a 16 foot dump trailer overfilled with logs daily. It uses alot of fuel when towing. It's alright though because it was under $38,000 to purchase and costs didly squat to maintain. I've heard the new 8 speed transmission paired with the 6.4 hemi is an even better powertain.
Hey Ben ... on the stickers, I may be speaking for myself, but the most important door sticker is the Weight Capacity (yellow sticker) showing GVWR & Payload. That payload varies by model/options as options add weight, reducing payload capacity.
I've had both. 6.7 Cummins and a 6.4 hemi. Just got rid of the 6.7 and I am keeping the hemi. And this is coming from someone that had diesel trucks for 25 years. 5.9 12 valve, 7.3 powerstroke, 5.9 and 6.7 ram.
Drive a whole lot of miles get the diesel, drive average miles (10-12K a year) get the gas 6.4. and keep it for 15 years. That said if you tow through mountains get the diesel. The 6.4 is just a bit sluggish going up hill pulling over 10K.
I like the fact he's reviewing the other packages available by Ram, and not the same old same old. I haven't seen a tradesmen review in awhile, I'd also like to see possibly the new packages offered in the warlock edition, I think they have the Mojave Sand paint color scheme now. Just a thought, I did enjoy this review though.
Congratulations To Ram for the first time in history beating out the Silverado for second place in Annual sales in the United States...now for Canada there a solid second almost every year ..Way to go RAM !!!!..RAM 1500 KING OF TRUCKS
Would appreciate you including the payload numbers for the trucks you review. If your towing, most likely the payload will govern how much you can tow. (Most of the time)
No one ever mentions the fact that although the diesel is more fuel efficient, the cost of diesel fuel is more per gallon than gasoline so any savings you get in mpg, you lose in pump price. That's not even factoring in the cost of DEF which reviewers also fail to mention. All I ever hear is the extra purchase price of a diesel engine and the higher maintenance costs but there are many more cost factors involved.
MrStaybrown; I know. I have a 2006 F350 cab and chassis 6.0 powerstroke. I by far prefer the Cummins. This was just the only thing available at the time for my price point. It is impressive in its power but man. Maintenance sucks. Fuel filters are about $65 and it takes 14.6 quarts of oil if I remember correctly. I wanna say changing my oil myself runs about $150-$200 and I have to do it every 5,000 miles. I can’t stretch it a few K like I could with my old 7.3. When this thing bites the dust I’m getting a big gasser. Between the 7.3 ford gasser and the 6.6 Chevy gasser, the 6.6 seems to be the one performing the best. I’m leaning that way but who knows what we’ll have in another 10 years or so.
@@survivalguyfyi5718 I hear ya. I purchased 2019 3500 megacab 6.4 hemi. It takes a special blend that has moly and though the 6.4 hemi doesn't take much oil, it costs me $110 just for oil. Oil and filter doing it myself is $140-ish.
@@wesleydean4228: Correct but any resale value you get in the end, you pay up front. And you pay more on the front end than you get on the back end. That said, I think Fiat has turned RAM trucks into junk. Really looking at the Ford 7.3 gasser. I’ve heard it’s very reliable. My only real issue with Ford is they have computerized their trucks so much and programmed everything to the point where any sensor warning and your entire truck shuts down. Even for non-critical things like an exhaust sensor. These new diesel trucks from all three, no matter what brand, now tripped pulse the fuel injectors for fuel economy. Results are marginal but now your injectors last 60,000 miles instead of 180,000 miles. At $1,000 per injector, that’s a rough pill to swallow.
@@toofastnobrakes actually its 3.21 3.55 or 3.92 and that new eight speed has a super high 1st gear for hauling thats why you dont need a 4.10.......The more you know 🌠
That’s not a work truck, it’s a foreman’s truck or for that guy that hauls a fifth wheel. Work trucks would have the basic level 1 pkg. still a great price for what you get.
It’s hard to tell at this point. The fords new 7.3 has more power on paper but it’s a new engine so it could have un foreseen issues. And a brand new 10speed transmission. The ram 6.4 hemi has been around longer and has held up great in most accounts, I’ve owned two. And in my experience it’s been a great motor. Keep in mind the ram also has a new transmission that is an 8speed for the 2019+ models. But as far as I’ve experienced the new trani has helped the towing a lot. So it comes down to what your priorities are and what you prefer. The ford has a little more power, and 2 more gears so “potentially” better fuel economy. But the ram 6.4 is a proven lasting work motor and will be cheaper than the ford. Also hemi’s sound better IMO
The up front cost of the Cummins is nothing compared to its resale value vs the hemi that nobody’s wants. In the long run the Cummins holds a lot more value
Gene Davis to each there own, but resale is junk on the Hemi heavy duty and you defiantly must not be pulling anything over 15K lbs routinely to be switching to a gasser. Which is totally fine.
Bullshit. Have had both. In the 4x4 2500s 6.4l has better payload and is rated 14900, the 6.7 is 17500.factor in the costs of ownership and 6.4l is the clear winner
All these trucks are pieces of shit dodge should be ashamed of them selfs i have a 2017 ram 3500 6.4 dually wher do i start 1st issue radio screen blank cost 1000 not covered .2nd heatercore ,waterpump .66,000 new transmission .still no heat .all so have 2018 ram 2500 heavy duty just hit 66000 miles in shop right now need a new transmission dealer wanted 10800 for new trans .we will never buy another dodge truck
6.4 is a fantastic engine. I tow every day with my 2017. I have only had to do maintenance and replace the thermostat. 70000 miles currently.
Christoher Henninger how much do you tow with it?

Same here. Back to a gasser i go.....the EPA ruined the modern diesel.
How does the 6.4 pull?
Whats up with the 6.7?
Thanks for showing the payload and towing stickers. Very impressive payload number.

You might want to put some old conveyor belt rubber in the back to stop damage from loading and unloading
These new tradesman trucks are really nice.
nice job Ben...................I like the truck.
I’ve noticed the radio in my 2017 was a lot faster than my 2019
The biggest complaint I have is the dial shifter. A pain of you plow.
I was wondering that, does it suck that much?
I definitely could not plow with that knob for the transmission
My dream truck
Did they stop with the tradesman power wagon option? The website doesn't let you check it off anymore..
I think you can get it as a 2500 but it is a trim not an option
My 2010 has a rear power windo bruh. How far in the past you talking about 😂
Sup ben hardy i love the 392 and would just put a supercharger on it
Luciano Bustos that would be awesome
Don't boost it without forging the engine it will blow up

What axle ratio? I’ve been looking for a 3500 6.4 hemi with a 4.10. It’s a much better pulling axle
Mike Hunt I don’t think that one has 4.10
Ben Hardy what waist. All that payload and no towing axle
It has like a 3.92 which makes it better for performance but ur right everyome who gets this for towing should get 4.10
Luciano Bustos it’s a 3.73, 3.73 and 4.10 are the only options for 2500/3500. 3.92 is in the 1500 for the bigger axle

Honestly, the ford heavy duty looks better style wise. Some people buying a work truck won't care. I have no doubt this truck will do it's job! 😁
Can anyone comment on the reliability of the diesels with RAM HD and GMC HD as a daily driver and weekend toy hauler?
