      Lol! Unless you bought it on sale like I did my 2008. The dealer had bought a "lot" from Dodge when the 2008 mess hit. Turns out they shipped every last one of them in only one color. I couldn't argue when buying a $32k truck with incentives for only $18k at the time. The sales manager asked what color I liked. Then after responding, he told me I could have it in any color I liked, as long as it was "electric blue".

      The paint quality is poor on these trucks, I have a 2016 ram and the paint seems really thin and seems to chip really easily. My truck have never seen a car wash, only washed by hand with new microfiber towels and it still has swirls in the paint.

      @@HuntingwithBrantley In general Chrysler products are subpar, but Rams are built a little differently I think. I know they're not really "American" anymore, but they tried to stay true to the name and I think they put a little more care into building a solid truck. I'm happy with mine and it's been a good vehicle, 60,000 miles and counting, no issues, and they're fun to drive.

  • @froggyoutdoors1473
    @froggyoutdoors1473 7 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    Well I bought my 2014 ram 1500 around the same time you did there are only 6 differences in mine.
    1. Mine has an 8 speed transmission so there goes one complaint
    2. Mine came with both parking sensors and a backup camera so there goes number 2
    3. I have never experienced the rattle on my doors (it is a crew cab so it is still the same doors)
    4. I have the other headlights that came with it. They are actually pretty good when it comes to visibility but I must say yours look much nicer.
    5. I got a nice big red one so number 4 is taken care of
    6. I know these were not mentioned but mine also has 4 wheel drive and a nice 6 1/4 ft bed
    So at the end of the day it looks like my truck is pretty dang perfect if those are the only complaints about the thing lol.

      Yuriy Pono not really, the only things that could be fixed by a higher trim are the headlights not being HID and not having the backup camera. The speakers rattling is probably only on a couple trucks, the throttle response and transmission problem is a thing that could happen on a 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie with a 5.7 and the same transmission on his truck, and the black paint is available on all the Laramie editions.

    i tuned it, and its a totaly different truck. added hid's and i can see everything. you gotta mod these trucks to get that connected feeling. they have a lot if potential but they sell them to modest people so they are "eh" out of the factory. my ram is fast as fk and fun as hell to drive now. sell your shit get one with an 8 spd and tune it, you wont regret it!

    I have a 2013 RAM 1500 Express reg cab short bed with 6 speed AT.
    I agree on the “standard” feeling 6 speed AT. I feel like the 6 speed is actually a 4 speed with added 3rd gear for tow and added 6th for overdrive. it works just fine, but not the best setup for acceleration. (I know, I know, it’s a truck, not a race car)
    1 thing I did to improve the overall drivability of the truck was to add a mild plug-n-play tuner by Hypertech. Adds noticeable power, but more importantly improves throttle response like night and day. If I were to purchase another RAM 1500 tomorrow, I would without a doubt get this tuner for it, even if just for the heightened throttle response, makes all the difference. The tuner does not change any values in your ECU, so doesn’t void warranty.

    the throttle response and transmission is not a hardware problem, these trucks are meant to "dull down" inputs so you don't crash backing up to your trailer - get a tune and both can perform - shifts will be fast and firm and throttle response quick. I recommend a superchips flash if you're not planning on a ton of mods, diablosport if you're going deep.

    I have basically the same truck except for the black paint and headlights and agree with most of what you're saying. The throttle response is mostly ok for me but sometimes it does lag a little where I do wonder what's under the hood. I do find the non-projector lights work very well in my truck. The projector lights in my wife's 2015 Cherokee also suck so maybe it's just that type of headlight. Two things I would add to your list are adjusting the temp knob all the way cold turns on the AC and when you turn the radio off you have no clock.

    Black paint is gorgeous when it's clean. Problem is, it's never clean unless you wash daily. I'll never own a black vehicle again. White is awful too, but I honestly think black is just as bad, if not worse.

    Just an FYI you got an express so those didn't come with projector lights. Meaning those are tyc oem replacement so that's the issue with the visibility. When you get a chance compare the amber in the day time running lights to another ram with projector headlights that's how you know if they are legit oem

    I have a 2013 1500 2wd cannot wait to get rid of it
    been back to the dealer a dozen times for issues up to and including the computer being changed
    Throttle response sucks sucks sucks
    Transmission was reprogrammed for 40mph vibration
    then it would not shift into 6th gear (yes dealer stupidity)
    at 35k the exhaust header bolts sheared off on the passenger side
    my 1999 gmc z71 gets 16mpg towing almost everything I have, the RAM 12.5 consistent.
    and dont even turn on the tow haul unless you have an extra 20 gallons of fuel on board as it drops to about 8mpg
    the headlights SUCK ROCKS...
    THE BEST THING ABOUT MY RAM... it will be paid off in 4 payments and I CAN TRADE IT IN!!!

    • @golz9785

      Is it a Hemi? I've had my 2013 5.7 2wd about a year and have put about 10k on it and is at 38k now & have had no issues at all & throttle responds great. Only problem I've had is fuel cap / malfunction light go off. One thing you are right about is Dodge doesn't care about mpg I get around the same MPG. Did you buy it privately? It sounds like a lemon.

  • @haydenschneider3

    Bought 2 2020 rams over a month ago now and LOVE them! Lights are super bright probabaly best I’ve ever had on a vehicle and obviously had back up camera and 8 speed transmission and let me say that the 8 speed has A LOT more get up me go then the 6 speed. I sold my 2012 ram last year and it was a great truck but definitely slower then the 2020 classic editions I got. I got a hemi in the crew cab one and a v6 in the quad cab one and both are great engines. Over 2000 km on both trucks already. Great trucks!

    American companies can build trucks. All 3. I'm personally a Ford guy when it comes to trucks. I did, however, have a 17 Ram 1500 for a month. I took it back. Specs say 10k lb towing capacity. Bullshit! That truck strained the entire time I was towing by boat. Fortunately, they allowed me to back out of the deal. Otherwise, I had absolutely no complaints about that truck.

    I never drove one with a 6sp but the 8sp auto is one of my favorite things about my 2014 quad cab Hemi powered Ram truck. It always finds the right gear, shifts quick, helps with the fuel mileage etcetera. With 42 something thousand miles and a needed mechanical repairs racked up, I'm wondering if I didn't screw up by not buying a Tundra. The fuel mileage sucked on those trucks though. I can easily hit 23-24 mpg on my trips between Texas and Ca with this Hemi powered truck. Pretty amazing, lucky if you could do that in a new Tacoma. My 2001 wouldn't do it!!!

    It's not the Tranny. It's the gearing. The stock gears are 3:21 for maximum fuel efficiency. I changed my 3:21 gears to 3:92's, and now she gets up and goes! It does weigh 5500 lbs, so it is not a sports car. I love my 2013 Ram Sport!

    Good review, what he said at the end, Chevy, Ford, RAM, Toyota and Nissan all build awesome trucks! After years of owning Tacos, as good as they are, never dreamed just how great a full size pickup is, comfort is unreal fuel economy ain't bad, my dad had an 80 something F250 with 4wd with manual and a 460, might have got 8mpg, had 2 tanks and needed them, was uncomfortable Road awful and due to someone putting a steel flat bed on it and screwing up the filler, took about 30 minutes to fill it up, he lived it, but it was really a bad truck.

  • @Gmtail
    @Gmtail 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Don't get the "Cold air intake", All it does is make noise and won't help with your throttle response. Get yourself a Diablo Trinity tuner and turn up the throttle sensitivity setting, then set your shifts points differently. It really wakes it up and holds shifts better..

    • @DGAF_AK87
      @DGAF_AK87 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      oh no it does, the tuner may be nice and if you want the 93 tune, but an intake will fix the the problem, the stock one is too restrictive

    • @Gmtail
      @Gmtail 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      DGAF_AK87 The perceived noise it produces makes your brain think that awesome sound is making things faster. While it may sound good to some, it doesn't make a difference on a stock engine.

    • @DGAF_AK87
      @DGAF_AK87 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gmtail I didn't say it makes an awesome sound, I pointed out the problem and the solution I've used on 4 different 4th gen rams. again the tune does help but if you just want better throttle response, a cold air intake is going to do just fine because the stock air box is restrictive.

    • @Gmtail
      @Gmtail 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      DGAF_AK87 I get what you are saying but what I meant was the perceived improved throttle response is all in ones head due to the cool sound it makes, and an intake will make no difference in throttle response. It's an issue of the electronic throttle system and it's delay through the computer. I've had intakes on my Rams since an early Gen 3 and I never saw a difference. But honestly whatever works for you man, as long as you are happy with it.

    Gearing effects felt throttle response & something like the Sprint Booster or other brand of throttle interface would help ALOT. A tune plus intake / exhaust mods too. I have a '10 Hemi TRX4 reg cab / sb with 3.92 gears....Instant throttle response....

  • @andrewlombardo4308
    @andrewlombardo4308 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well that's what happens when you purchase the most basic model of a vehicle...any other trim option would practically resolve all of your complaints. I drive a 2015 white sport with 8 spd transmission and it drives like a dream. Also has a backup camera and all of the front and rear sensors you can ask for. I guess the message is you get what you pay for.
