I just picked purchased a 2019 Laramie Longhorn this past Saturday. I have owned a few different pickups from various manufacturers over the years and none can come close to the comfort, drive ability and function of this vehicle. The lack of road and engine noise combined with the smoothness of the air ride suspension is actually calming even in bumper to bumper traffic. I didn't think I would ever get over the New Jersey/New York metro crawl to and from work but with this truck I don't mind the brake lights ahead as it gives me time to relax end enjoy the roominess and comfort of this beautiful truck.
You can get a more optioned up bighorn with the center console, 8.4 Uconnect with Nav, 20" wheels, and LED headlights. That said I priced one out like this and the Laramie actaully was slightly cheaper after I added all the options.
I’m really starting to like the American trucks. I live in Australia and do security of a importer of American trucks and they are really nice especially the 1500
Ram has hit a homerun with this truck. I have a new 2018 HD Ram but I am sure in 2-3 years when the new HD's come out with some of this styling and technology I will be looking to trade up. Also, I have a Big Horn but was able to add some of the upfitted options like the premium 8.4 Uconnect, and the bucket seat set-up. I am sure you will be able to upgrade the new Big Horns as well to your liking.
Enjoy Life I’m so excited about the next gen 2500. 2021 is the model year for it. I have a 2018 Power Wagon and although I absolutely love it, I can’t wait to see what they do with that package in the next gen 2500. Have a feeling I’ll be trading too.
You can option out a Big Horn though as well. It is available with the center console, tow package, trailer package, navigation, sun roof, parking sensors, the 8.4" uconnect system, etc...
I have the fold down console that makes a bench seat in my Power Wagon and I had it in my previous 1500 Outdoorsman. I love it! It’s been very handy to get 6 peeps in the truck very comfortably. I don’t miss a flow through console at all.
I’d roll the dice on one of these.I picked one apart and couldn’t find one negative thing about it.Reliability is always a question mark regardless of which one of the big three trucks you buy and I’ve owned all but Ram.
Oh man, now I have to buy one. The quiet road noise did it for me. I can't stand road noise and my old ram has road noise that actually bothers me or should I say is noticeable. The reason I bought the 16' ram big horn 1500 was because of the room in the cab. Chevy is just to small and the ford had plenty of room but was to expensive. But any how. Great job Ram for designing a truck that is a big improvement. I am Happy
Why is there so many hurt people in the comments. Just because you drive a Chevy, Toyota, or Ford doesn't make you any less of a man. It just means you didn't shop around before you bought a new truck. A common mistake! Roll Ram Roll!
I bought a 2019 Ram Big Horn with the sport package in July 2018. It's been a great truck with a 5.7 Hemi. I have one complaint and that is the tires that come with them are shitty Good Year wranglers that with a 5.7 Hemi are junk. i had the thing in traction control in March of 2019 and it was raining, I lost almost total control and the truck was fish tailing all over the road and scared the hell out of me. even when I let off the gas it was hard to control and scared me.. I have since changed them to Continentals and it is great now. No more losing control.
your comment 8:17 about lack of extensive seat adjustments is the first thing i noticed about the 2019 at the dealers lot. but since my plain 2017 is the same it's not a downward rating. i've found the front bench allows more family to be hauled around with more stuff.
justin beamon look into how many problems it has in cold climates if you happen to want to buy a truck with it and live where it gets to freezing temperatures. Not sure if FCA has remedied this situation for 2019.
I know this is probably common knowledge by now, but i wanted to point out that this Big Horn is a lower option of trim level. I have one with the center console, and on board navigation.
We’ve had a highly optioned Big Horn on the channel since this video was posted, you should check it out (it’s in our Actual Owner’s Reviews playlist) - might be relevant to you 👍
@@TruckCentral I figured yall had, since this was posted 3 years ago. I just wanted to make sure people who were thinking about buying a big horn/ lone star knew that they weren't as limited as this one.
Mixed impressions on this new Ram. The off-color interior is a little strange (brown and gray)? The grill looks a little silly with the RAM blazoned across it. Still, the interior space and body are nice.
Cool thing RAM did was to give you the option of ordering a SPORT package for every trim level. It’s going to be an extremely popular option. They no longer offer a stand alone Sport model.
🤣🤣It doubles as a submarine. Holds water in the headliner constantly. Local dealer says "let my guy silicone your 3rd brake light".. A band aid for my $40k truck...brilliant. Power mirrors strip out regularly...
don't get the air ride if you live in Canada, It will fail and cost up to 9000 to fix. I had to trade mine after spending 4000 on it just after warranty .
The 2022 ram 1500 Lonestar 3.6 etorque is Not a good truck. the suspension is very stiff and that produces a BUMPY ride. The etorque 3.6 jumps every time I take my foot off the brake pedal. Highway mileage is 21.8 average unless you drive a straight 65 mph and get ran off the road. Not recommended!
Here's the problems with this nice truck. Longer wheelbase. It's nearly as long as crew cab long bed trucks of the past. Makes turning with a trailer all that much harder in anything but rural settings. Pulling into traffic means you have to wait for lanes in both directions to clear or risk jumping a curb or going over lawns.
Wonder how the semi trucks deal with the cold then? They almost ALL have air suspensions, even on a lot of their trailers. This rumor is old, tired and unfounded.
I just don't get what FCA was thinking. LIke WTF? The same HP and Torque ratings as in my 2015 Ram.....Get with it FCA. GM puts their 6.2L in their Half ton trucks, Ford has their Ecoboost that they keep refreshing.... I saw a test of 0-60, and it's the same time as my truck for craps sake. Now I know, no one really buys trucks for stop light racing, so to speak, but would be nice after 10 years to be able to show up GM and Ford.....Guess not. MAJOR fail FCA
Slac adjuster while I don’t think they need to be horsepower kings, I agree that they should have at least done a 15 Hp boost and 20lb torque boost. Would have been an easy job. I can’t explain why they left that box unchecked.
Thats not the point. I had always been perfectly happy with my 5.7 HEMIS. Like the man said in the video....The engine is ADEQUATE. But launching a completely new truck with everything upgraded, right down to the transmission and keeping with engine numbers that have been unchanged since 2013....well thats a mistake. This is a great new truck but could've been even better.
kyle Buchmann there are guys out there that think your 99 Cummins is way to modern and complicated and they will stick with their 88 Magnum engines, and the guys with 1974 Power Wagons laugh at THOSE guys, and so on and so on. So nobody cares and someone in 1999 bought your truck new, think about that.
Dodge 318 Cummins I mean it still a GMC vehicle so I think it makes more sense that both GMC vehicles look alike than a Ram looking like a SUV (before the 2019 sierra)
Who else is all about that bench seat?
Truck Central yes
Truck Central it's dope
Truck Central im shure u will b able to get some of thie things he mentioned as options on the big horn thats probably the base model big horn
Room for an extra passenger, and still have storage capabilities, as well as an armrest.
gotta have bench seat! any who picks up kiddos from school knows this. ;)
This truck surpasses Ford and Chevy by far and leaves Toyota so far back its completely off the table. What great work by RAM!!!!!!
Devo dar
Toyota was off the table and on the floor the second yr it was made
@Boostedvette lmao
I smell a 2019 truck of the year award coming

Still loving your truck? Any issues?
I'm seriously considering the Laramie Longhorn myself. That interior is to die for!
The RAM is starting to grow on me Got an 07 Hemi bighorn but that silver rebel 👌

Ohioguy aa
I have a big horn with almost everything except the 12" screen and leather. Paid 41k out the door. That's way cheaper than a laramie
I’m really starting to like the American trucks. I live in Australia and do security of a importer of American trucks and they are really nice especially the 1500
A fully loaded big horn is all you really need, as long as you don’t mind not having adaptive cruise and lane keep assist, and that 12” screen

I love my 2019 Bighorn quad cab. Rides like a luxury car, with plenty of power to boot.
Love the bench seat. I wish they offered the Bench in the Rebel... I could take the entire family in one with the bench
Bench seat in the Rebel would be awesome
I have the fold down console that makes a bench seat in my Power Wagon and I had it in my previous 1500 Outdoorsman. I love it! It’s been very handy to get 6 peeps in the truck very comfortably. I don’t miss a flow through console at all.
Wow! I currently own a 2017 Silverado LTZ and I am seriously thinking about buying a Ram as my next truck!
Pretty damm detailed...like it...im getting my 1500 limited with ram boxes next month....YAY.!!!!
Enjoy your new truck!
I just got mine man your gonna love her
Edwin Viterelli
Great choice! I’m shopping for mine now👍
@@35hFr how is it? Mine is on order. Just nervous about reliability
Would love to see them offer the 6.4 in the 1500 series.
totally but it’ll steal sales from the power wagon and 2500
KHLegend the power wagon is far more than just a 6.4L, you don’t buy that truck for the motor, you get a PW for all the off-road capability.
I got a 2018 dodge bighorn 4x4 ram with alot of the limit package. I love it . Fist time ever owning a Dodge.
I’d roll the dice on one of these.I picked one apart and couldn’t find one negative thing about it.Reliability is always a question mark regardless of which one of the big three trucks you buy and I’ve owned all but Ram.
The 2019 Big Horn has been upgraded.. 20” tires, 8” touch screens with UConnect.. all the options that the Limited has.. oh, chrome and more Home

@@LiftingGunsBibleTradition whats wrong with a Fiat,those things r sweet
I own a 2008 RAM BigHorn with only 102K on the dash! can't wait to buy a new one!
The Rebel looks awesome.
Big horn and Sport is good enough for most truck buyers. Limited, Laramie is for Jimmie Fallon.
Ha that’s pretty funny! Agree with you
Ford sport package looks better to me than dodge sport package
I bought a 2019 Ram Big Horn with the sport package in July 2018. It's been a great truck with a 5.7 Hemi.

The big horns are upgradable to the 8.4 most dealerships order it that way
I love that we can get a loaded 2019 BIG HORN with CLOTH seats, so tired of cold / hot / slippery / sticky animal skin seats.
I`m with you James.
That moment Truck Central has an episode filmed in your state: 😎😂
The Big Horn is Rams top selling trim level great value for your $$$. Thanks for reviewing the Big Horn/ Lone Star in Texas
Reliability??? Time will tell 🙏
MOST trucks have Bench seats. Only the top end trim levels have buckets ;)
I have 4 Dodge Ram's -2002 -2012 -2014 and 2017 and I'm waiting on the 2019👍👍👍
That air suspension looks pretty awesome
justin beamon look into how many problems it has in cold climates if you happen to want to buy a truck with it and live where it gets to freezing temperatures. Not sure if FCA has remedied this situation for 2019.
I love my air suspension, just wish I could lower, raise it and leave it. They only stay there until about 25 MPH
there is no problems with the air ride in cold weather.. My 2016 has zero issues all the way down to sub zero temps..
l never have ram trucks did you guys recomend me this truck for work ?am landscape guy
Impressed by this truck. Well done to Ram.
One step away from purchasing.How the recalls?? Always wanted my Ram box
that is one good looking truck!
I wonder if the Slide to recline seats are available on the Big Horn.
I know this is probably common knowledge by now, but i wanted to point out that this Big Horn is a lower option of trim level. I have one with the center console, and on board navigation.

Mixed impressions on this new Ram. The off-color interior is a little strange (brown and gray)? The grill looks a little silly with the RAM blazoned across it. Still, the interior space and body are nice.
Such a beautiful truck
Good review mate, keep it up.
C Bagz thanks!
Great video!!! Great review!!! Awesome!!!
That "Bighorn" looks like the current Express. There aren't any Bighorn badges on them now?
Where is this video shot? Phoenix?
Yes Phoenix, AZ. Good eye! Some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere.
danm that's a nice truck
what were the specs on the white ram @9:46?
That's a Big Horn Sport
The color matched grille is pretty sweet
Cool thing RAM did was to give you the option of ordering a SPORT package for every trim level. It’s going to be an extremely popular option. They no longer offer a stand alone Sport model.
In the opening scene the rock on the ground irritates me.
Nice video!
It irritates me, as well.
Just ordered the Bighorn with bench.
Dude, I have a Bighorn that has most of what you are not driving. Maybe leather is the only thing.. You are underselling the Bighorn
Does it come in a regular cab with the regular bed?.
Where was all this new technology from 09 to 2018? I love the previous generation body.
Wish they made a new model of the ram 1500 with a mix of the limited and the rebel
5:27 "No automatic climate control" , I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn with automatic climate control, so maybe I'm missing something 🤔
Right? My bighorn also has led lights, heated seats and steering wheel as well as front/ rear sensors with blind spot
Kahn
No auto climate control means manual a/c
I'm a little disappointed they didn't do anything with the 5.7, or upgrade the transmission. Hope its enough to stay in the game. We'll see.
Pretty sure they upgraded the transmission and transfer case, just not a lot of talk about it.
Tranmission went from the zf 8hp70 to a beefier zf 8hp75.
Decent, didn't know that!
The all have been recalled there bro. 2019 ram over 200 thousands of them burning ya burning
Canada place 2b
All you have to ride up there is horses, isn’t that correct Dudley Doo-right?
🤣🤣It doubles as a submarine. Holds water in the headliner constantly. Local dealer says "let my guy silicone your 3rd brake light".. A band aid for my $40k truck...brilliant. Power mirrors strip out regularly...
Best truck out there.
Everything is good except the transmission gear knob. Truck should be manly. Must have a gear shifter
They went back to a flat body design may hurt sales later on in future..
Ambrose Mackinnon not at all, this design will age much nicer and doesn't look like a Bro truck
Ford going hard in the ads.
Nice Dodge ram truck!
What’s the sticker on the limited?
my 2013 Big Horn has a bench seat as well...nothing new.
Wow From the thumbnail I thought oh they finally upgraded the TUNDRA !!!
I wanna know how efficient the 3.6L v6 Pentastar with Etorque is. It must sip gas when not loaded
Ram didn't bring any V6 models to the event. We don't know why...
They're talking a couple MPG better than the V6 alone, which isn't going to be available.
Brian Makse what do you mean isn't going to be avaliable?
dylan522p V6 without eTorque won’t be available
"AT LAUNCH"
I honestly find big Horn is better looking with the front grill
Must have bench in front but why can't have loaded
Does the transmission work right now ?
THE 8 SPEED HAS always WORKED RIGHT!
don't get the air ride if you live in Canada, It will fail and cost up to 9000 to fix. I had to trade mine after spending 4000 on it just after warranty .
Come back in 2019 for a full year of testing. Revamped factory and truck. Rigorous testing.
That REBEL would look nice in my driveway. But no 12in screen is really killing it for me. 😿
its coming later
Wait for it.
Nucl3ar Family O I am. I’ve bought many new model yr trucks and I’ve had a ton of recalls. Gonna give her a few years.
The 2022 ram 1500 Lonestar 3.6 etorque is Not a good truck. the suspension is very stiff and that produces a BUMPY ride. The etorque 3.6 jumps every time I take my foot off the brake pedal. Highway mileage is 21.8 average unless you drive a straight 65 mph and get ran off the road. Not recommended!
Never buy a vehicle that is a new model in it's first year of production. 3 years in they usually have the bugs worked out.
How much for lease
My big horn has way more options than this one.
Here's the problems with this nice truck.
Longer wheelbase. It's nearly as long as crew cab long bed trucks of the past. Makes turning with a trailer all that much harder in anything but rural settings. Pulling into traffic means you have to wait for lanes in both directions to clear or risk jumping a curb or going over lawns.
If you live anywhere that gets cold stay away from air suspension!!
Wonder how the semi trucks deal with the cold then? They almost ALL have air suspensions, even on a lot of their trailers. This rumor is old, tired and unfounded.
I have this truck and there is no Ram box, no 8,4 screen, no adaptive cruise, no power seats, etc, it's a deception for the price paid
i like RAM very nice
Pedantic warning. "The proof's in the pudding" is not a saying. The actual saying is, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating."
Quick question that nobody (and do mean nobody) talks about. Does the new Ram have a driver's left footrest?
I want one just gotta find dealer that will take my 2017
Why are you standing like that?
Have to.
Try standing like that using only one leg ...
I like Rams, but I really don't like this new design.
Great review got to slow down Than the speed of speech
Too much caffeine + High fructose corn 🌽 syrup would do it
Awesome good chance
It's made of butter just like the older ones!!!!
It's a spaceship lol

I just don't get what FCA was thinking. LIke WTF? The same HP and Torque ratings as in my 2015 Ram.....Get with it FCA. GM puts their 6.2L in their Half ton trucks, Ford has their Ecoboost that they keep refreshing.... I saw a test of 0-60, and it's the same time as my truck for craps sake. Now I know, no one really buys trucks for stop light racing, so to speak, but would be nice after 10 years to be able to show up GM and Ford.....Guess not. MAJOR fail FCA
Get a supercharger if you want more usable torque and high end power. It's that simple.
Tobi Ogunsanwo no not really that simple.
Slac adjuster while I don’t think they need to be horsepower kings, I agree that they should have at least done a 15 Hp boost and 20lb torque boost. Would have been an easy job. I can’t explain why they left that box unchecked.
Their V8 numbers aren't lacking in anyway compared to the competition.
Thats not the point. I had always been perfectly happy with my 5.7 HEMIS. Like the man said in the video....The engine is ADEQUATE. But launching a completely new truck with everything upgraded, right down to the transmission and keeping with engine numbers that have been unchanged since 2013....well thats a mistake. This is a great new truck but could've been even better.
F150 has that same seat option.

It has 2 doors too many and the bed is too short.

Well alrighty!
kyle Buchmann there are guys out there that think your 99 Cummins is way to modern and complicated and they will stick with their 88 Magnum engines, and the guys with 1974 Power Wagons laugh at THOSE guys, and so on and so on. So nobody cares and someone in 1999 bought your truck new, think about that.
WOW it can tow a $150,000 boat. WTF
