  • The RAM 1500 is the last of the big 3 American pickup trucks for me to review. This RAM 1500 was equipped with the 5.7 Hemi V8 with the E-Torque option, the BigHorn package, and the aggressive Night Package. No Dodge logos here, this is a RAM, a spinoff brand that makes this truck even more special.
    Lets start with the powertrain. The 5.7 Hemi V8 makes 395 hp and 410 lb/ft torque. The maximum payload is 2,300 lbs and towing capacity over 6 tons! The Ram 1500 with the 5.7 V8 Hemi has an MSRP of $43,000, while the Ram that I reviewed had a total MSRP of $58,000 with options included.
    The interior is starting to feel less utilitarian, and more like an SUV. Entering the truck, the first thing you notice is that impactful 12” center display which is a dream as far as infotainment systems go in pickup trucks. Extremely responsive system with a crystal clear display. You have the perfect blend of digital options as well as having physical buttons for the important features such as climate, volume, etc… The backup cam allows you to zoom in, making hooking up a trailer just that much easier. This is easily my favorite feature of the 2021 Ram 1500.
    There is so much to discuss in the interior on the 2021 Ram 1500, such as the ridiculous amount of storage, the dashboard screen with a couple of analog gauges, the immense amount of headroom/legroom for every passenger, and of course the over-the-top amount of cup holders.
    The steering wheel not only feels nice to hold, but responds extremely well to the road as you drive. This is the smoothest truck I have ever driven. Additionally, Ram offers an optional air suspension which this truck did not have. Not only is the 2021 Ram 1500 a nice environment to sit in for hours, but it drives so smoothly, you have no need for a luxury SUV anymore. Option this truck out properly and it can truly be the only car in your garage.
    Watch the full review to see the pros and cons of this truck, and whether I believe you should or should not buy one. If you are considering the Ram 1500 alongside the Ford F150 and the Chevy Silverado 1500, this is the review to watch.
    Don’t forget to watch my reviews of the Ram 1500’s top competitors - The 2021 Ford F150 and the 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500.

    I have this exact truck. I have owned a lot of rigs in my life and this is the best one by far. Looks, quiet inside, handles great. No chrome makes it even better. Perfect review!

      How are the cloth seats? It’s the only thing I seem to have an issue with.

    • @darincastoldi399

      @@Js-ht2ug The cloth is high quality super comfortable. Heated cloth is much more comfortable than leather as it doesn’t get too hot.

    I am officially ordering the granite metallic night edition 1500 big horn tomorrow.
    I got it pretty much loaded up, no sunroof or extra speakers and subwoofer, but I am as excited as a little kid. Unfortunately it’s going to be 2 to 3 months before I get it, love these Ram trucks

    I researched before I bought my 2020 RAM 1500. I recommend the 5.7L with eTorque, Laramie trim for leather and heated/cooled front seats and heated steering wheel, two-tone hydro blue, wheel to wheel running boards, 8.4" infoscreen if you like buttons and knobs, folding front bench seat for dog friendly versatility (but rare to find), owner installed DualLiner bedliner, retractable rear corner step, and no sunroof or air suspension for simplicity. It's the best trim for luxury/value ratio. I got mine before the supply shortage and got lots of rebates costing me less than a current low level Big Horn trim. Traded in a 2011 F-150 ecoboost Platinum. The RAM is better in comfort, ride quality, low end power, gas mileage, interior, exterior, aerodynamics, engine sound, stereo, handling, electronics, seat material durability, storage, LED lighting, etc, etc. The F-150 had a slightly tighter turning radius, arguably handsomer "wine bottle" rims, tailgate step, softer seating, smoother paint, and classic looking handsome exterior. Overall, RAM much, much better than the Ford. The Ford was accumulating mechanical and electrical problems despite being babied and very low mileage. Best upgrade I have ever made.

    • @adamdrivesla8268
      @adamdrivesla8268  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good feedback. Yes, I tell everyone the Ram is probably the best all around truck you can buy now if comfort/quality are big factors

    • @drmitofit2673
      @drmitofit2673 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      My RAM is still awesome. Smooth power delivery, seamless shifting with eTorque, smooth ride, great brakes, durable good looking leather seats, excellent Alpine sound, no chrome rust, no rear window leaks, 16.4 mpg mainly city, 20 mpg highway with 87 octane, completely reliable both electrical and mechanical, no warranty issues or recalls, but not high mileage so far. Glad I switched brands. RAM recently topped Toyota for most reliable half ton truck. I can believe it.

  • @dougedoug2105

    good review.....dont like FORD......but like shape of GMC SEIRRA 1500 ..nice shape outside...interior is small and cheap......dodge ram is big spacious...interior is top notch.....and looking @ 2022 RAM big horn ....will b my 1st pup truck.......infotainment is beautiful.....no truck has this ....its really gorgeoua and interior so spacious....i agree with u i go with the BIG HORN RAM....

    @kirkdunn1379 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not sure you can get 19 speaker in bighorn....
    A 22 bighorn was more than a leftover 21 Laramie....I bought one a month ago....found one way under MSRP, no added fees or ADMs, sell price plus TTL and it's a nice truck....19 speaker system is good, I wouldnt call it great....reclining rear seats and vented front seats are well worth the money.....not crazy about leather interior but just cover it up for work
    After owning 21 and 22 GM TRUCKS imo Ram is far more comfortable with better utililization and GM is more solid and feels like a better built truck.....I drive both back to back currently.....Ram resale isn't the best either.....
    Overall they did a good job.....I had to replace a seatbelt in under 500 miles, was fairly easy...
