2019 RAM 2500 / 3500 - Towing To The Max
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 01. 2019
- RAM just took the wraps off their new 2019 RAM HD lineup. The new 2500 and 3500 put down some insane numbers. Up to 1,000 pound feet of torque from the new 6.7L Cummins engine, 7,680 pounds of payload (gasoline) and a whopping 35,100 max tow rating when properly equipped. Are the "1-ton" truck towing wars insane? You betcha, but if you want the bragging rights or the best HD truck interior, this is the RAM for you.

Damn, if these trucks keep getting even more powerful they will start to have an effect on earth's rotation with all their massive torque XD
Alex, invited to Ram directly. You made it man, you are the solo Consumer Reports for car shoppers, all that effort and integrity and refusal to get into the drama realm of car reviews paid off. You are a pro man, happy 2019!
Riyad Kalla him and his team definitely do a great job providing some of the most detailed reviews, in a package that is weirdly satisfying to watch time after time. Seriously creative and savvy folks at AoA.
I was thinking the same thing. Not only did he get first shot he got it to himself. His team is him..I would be curious how long this took him to shoot. He is the best reviewer on CZcams. Hands down.
I have to agree there are so many people and companies out there doing these videos. Out of all of them I like some others because of some of the things they do. But what puts Alex ahead is his videos and how well everything is put together. I have not seen that with anyone else. I have to say what makes it more impressive is that is it just him doing it. So hats off to you and glad to have you in so many different things. I subscribed to something for the first time because of you.
He rarely puts down other companies in a bad light just spits out the facts. Sure he has his preferences but doesn't crap on the others.
That interior puts some luxury cars to shame.
leave it to the italians to make nice interiors
@@james2042
Maybe but a lady i know WELL told me about 5 yrs ago that fiat and CHRYSLER, decided to let each other use their previous employees and supervisors/bosses to keep control of everyday goings on and the final decisions for that branch of the company.
Of course there will be changes with a few people that dont like the new co.
People retiring or retiring early and other things but she is ALSO STILL IN HER OLD HIGH UP POSITION AS WELL AS HER BOSS AND THE ONE SUPERVISOR SHE HAS!!!
SHE SAID ITS BASICALLY the same except her paychecks say FCA NOW.
@@james2042 nope, leave it to Americans. Full development, engineering and design of the Rams is done here in Auburn Hills Michigan at Chrysler headquarters. Just because an Italian company owns the company doesn't mean suddenly Italian people magically start designing and engineering the vehicles. Please do some research before making ignorant comments. Overall, the new Ram puts Alfa Romeo and Maserati interiors to shame.... Which are actually designed in Italy. #themoreyouknow
Bouncing on a unsprung spring isn't
@@mpsangha
Thanks man.
Also like i have mentioned alot, the CHARGER, a couple Jeeps. Challenger are all in the top 15 MOST AMERICAN MADE.
THEY ALSO MADE THE TOP 15 MOST NORTH AMERICAN MADE. THE PARTS ARE IN THOSE ARE MUCH MORE AMERICAN.
PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY OH THE CHARGER ITS CANADIAN.
MOSTLY AMERICAN PARTS ARE PUT TOGETHER UP THERE. THEY ARE STILL MOSTLY.AMERICAN CARS. LIKE THE OTHERS.
Don’t need a truck, don’t tow. “1000 lb/ft of torque”, never mind, need this truck.
Riyad Kalla hahah
Nailed it. I NEED it.
I am actually glad that Ram decided to update the 4th to a "4.5 Gen" instead of waiting 2 more years like tradition that occurs with the Big 3 after the release a half-ton and release a new model. Ram knew GM is releasing a new HD, and Ford is readying a heavily revised HD. THIS is how you do an update!
Good job RAM 👏
Thanks Alex. You provide some of the best automotive reviews on CZcams!
Alex gets ‘em before the reveal now. Thug life 😎
Great Video! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing them in person.
My Dad bought a RAM in 2006 and never looked back.
did the rearview mirror fall off?
LOL
And I'm sure he "did it like a boss" and whatever other cliches you can find...
Yeah I have ram 1500 even though it's not a larger variant it's been good to me, need some upgrades but that's about it.
Derik Nyquist My Dad has the 2500 Cummins Diesel and it’s still running strong. He likes it.
Best presentation I've seen for the new RAM. And, believe me, I have seen a bunch of them.
Alex you are an institution in itself. Great work. Your video on the ZF 9 speed had me hooked and I've been entertained/educated ever since.
Alex is one of the best reviewers. Nice job!
Excellent video.
Wow it looks amazing 😍😍😍
Those LEDs are slickkkkkk
UPstater5.9 totally agree, makes the design of the truck pop.
That ram IS the best ram I have ever sen bro
Great job once again
Great review guys
Detailed review, great info!
Well played Alex! Well played.
wow my dream truck
Ram just broke a foot off in the entire industry
GM just started their Silverado redesign this morning......
Keep in mind this isn't even the 5th gen RAM, just an update 4th gen, can't wait to see what they do with the '22 Heavy Duty.
And it off to a horrendous start.
Redesign!? More like start a full blueprint on the new Silverado and that 2020 2500HD is TER-RI-BLE
Kiddro22 that’s because gm was spending its money on a tailgate
187ffkev I agree! They spent wayyy too much time and emphasis on that tailgate. No wonder they’re using a 10spd trans. Guess they fell asleep on that part.
THANK YOU for not competing with GM and Ford with tailgates. Engineering effort in all the right places in my opinion.
I don’t feel worthy of laying my eyes on this masterpiece of a truck
Man, that PW looks insane!
Outstanding!
Very good looking truck.
That power wagon is nice
Nice lorry
THE BEST
After viewing this video, I gotta go test drive the 3500 and hopefully it will hold up to the hype. In my line of work, I need a truck that's dependable and has the capability of pulling the devil outta Hell, if needed 👍
Great Review can you build a truck to climb to the back like for a bed with out the center console And No back doors in the large cab configuration
Outstanding truck, RAM did it again. But that front end kind of makes it look scared of something lol
Man you can do all the kamasutra in the back of that Mega Cab😆😆😆😆
Alex, are you originally from Texas?
You are talking with such an excitement about this truck, enthusiastic saliva is flowing out.
Nice
I wished you had addressed the issue of long vs short bed and what was available with which trim level.
There was a hammer on on each the tables next to each seat
I'm a class A truck driver of over 10 years now. My partner and I team drive an 18 wheeler cross country each week between Atlanta and the west coast. I don't need this truck but I sure as hell want and can afford it, lol.
Does the mega cab still have the extra slot units behind the backseat?
Do the expensive led head lights get moisture in them like my 2015 projectors do?
What EVER. Ram ya'll won.
Wish I had a reason to buy something like this, a large place to park it, the money to run it . . . . oh, never mind.
ktpinnacle ......get the 1500 tradesmen model......it’s still plenty truck at a reasonable price.....that’s what am aiming for
Have they always had two alternators?
Now imagine if fca would make a Chrysler 300 with that level of interior...
They just need to put this screen into 300 / Charger and Challenger, how hard can it be, it's really sad that they don't.
Mgoblagulkablong car engineering isn’t that simple. hopefully there will be a new generation soon :(
Frustrates me to no end that they are killing it off. I wanted one for years, bought a 2017 300S, it was fantastic to drive around, amazing highway MPG for the v8 and all the bells and whistles (in that flat gray), BUT you could feel the cheapness of the interior. I somewhat agree if they could give this kind of love and attention to an interior, the car would be amazing. No idea if it would sell better, every is abandoning sedans now :(
@@rkalla It had a good run; and they did a reasonably good job of keeping it current.
This interior and the 392 or hellcat engine.
Esta hermosa y con 1000lb-ft de torque es una mole por dentro, ideal para explotarla en el campo.
Great stuff! In the market for a HD truck when I retire by December 2019. Need one to tow the Airstream I'll be getting and enjoy touring the good old USA! Only wished the fuel tank was a bit larger. Other than that, it's an awesome looking truck and quality. Keep up the good work.
There is an option for a larger fuel tank.
Nothing Airstream had needs this type of power really. A 2500 or Ford's F-250 will do. But need and wants are two different beasts. It's pair well with an Airstream.
I have a 23FB that this would literally be able to fit weight wise "inside" the truck bed.( Obviously it can't.) That's hilarious.
Another problem they switched out the high pressure fuel pump to the CP4 which has been known to grenade in the Ford 6.7 and Chevy LML.
What happened to tire blocker and frontal impact like in the 1500?
I wonder if the sensors for the driver assistance system are behind the windshield because of a potential snow plow attached to the front end that could interfere with it?
Elliott Manning ahhh great call, a very popular application for the Ram 2500. I think they even have a factory hookup for that.
I’m an idiot, see comment below.
Except he mentioned in the video that driver assistance such as radar is located behind the windshield, and not in the front grill.
Chris Gleeton holy crap you’re right. I must have glossed over that bit at 1:53. Thanks for pointing that out. Time will tell then if it will be compatible with large accessories like a plow which sticks up a bit above the hood line.
Man that bare frame and engine look siiick! But I bet the electrical is still the worst... lol
Love the new interior from RAM the only place I'd wish for more attention would be the seats. No truck has yet to add thigh support. I'd gladly pay extra for captain chairs (yes over 6'3). And maybe an electric tilt/telescopic steering wheel which Ford and GM offer.
Did they address all the front suspension issues from the recalls etc? from previous models?
I want!
Great review Alex, you did make one mistake. You said it can tow 35k with gooseneck and 5th wheel. The 5th wheel caps out at the 30k range. I'm pretty sure that is the number. Keep up the good work.
IF YOUR NAME AIN'T BESOS, YOU CAN'T AFFORD THIS THING.
And is this seminar to a big truck's airbag system
Is the new engine only available in the dually?
Love the new power numbers on these. But I'm a simpleton when it comes to the interior. I'll take a good old tradesman versus all those bells and whistles which just cuts into the payload and towing numbers and just more crap to break. That being said, I suppose if I was hauling a 5th wheel all over the country some of those things would be nice. I don't know about 25k nice but to each their own. GJ RAM/Cummins.
As long as I don't have to put fuel in it. How do you remember all the specs on all these vehicles?
I want one
Goddamn the new ram HD is gorgeous
Only time will tell if this truck is reliable or not !!! I do wish to own one of this !!! :)))
I give FCA, and this guy in particular, credit for acknowledging Ford and FCA's battle to be the best...Most would NEVER mention a competitor.
Hecho en Saltillo Mexico 🇲🇽🇲🇽 fiat fca Ram hecho aqui 🇲🇽🇲🇽
Very nice video presentation. Is the higher output engine available without getting a dually?
That's my question as well. I would like the high output with the Asisin in a 2500 version with the rear air suspension.
ram Cummins is the best real truck.... (period)
Please
Base motor is bigger. I love it
basically they just eliminated the option for the 5.7, which will only affect fleet sales. no one else got that motor in a heavy duty.
2020 models still don't have the Trailer TPMS available. :-(
Never really need a 3500 because I dont haul much, but this beast/ beauty I want it. Even if I just put my little girls bicycle. Lol
Heard (from a service rep) that there are DEF freezing issues in the winter (Canada) as well as the air suspension freezing up. Anybody have issues?
The truck doesn't need to be ALL new. Leave on what works and change that things that need to be updated. After all, there's nothing better than time-in-service to work out all the kinks and get things working right. That's how you improve reliability. In our continuous demand for newness, I think we sometimes forget that.
I just wish the seats came with more thigh support for us 6+ footers. Especially when these trucks come with all that fantastic leg room.
Well, it's not available in Canada yet (2019 2500 HD? ! All I see is 2018 2500 HD at the FCA .CA site.....Accordingly, the 2019 Ram 1500 still cannot be ordered with Ram Boxes on the 6' + Box BUT can be ordered on the 5'+ Box !! I guess all these things will come in time ??
Beautiful truck rams the best truck out there.
I must admit Im more a ford guy even though i love all trucks but this ram is better. I love the power this cummins puts out. Amazing. However ford has a refresh coming, lets see if they can match the power.
i want a 2019 ram 2500 6.7l cummins, i don’t know much about diesel, how would this truck do as a daily driver/short trip truck, (no deletes) no towing or hauling, 6 miles to work and 6 miles back home? a grocery getter. long trip once a year. i just want a big truck, i like the sound of the 6.7l cummins diesel.
I'm putting the engine in my Dakota RT
6.7L Cummins is a PILE!
My "ideal" truck? The cummins 6.7 liter...the transmission of the Allison G.M. variant....the frame/chassis of the super duty...I'll take the Ram interior as well...
that frame is just as sturdy if not more so as the super duty
Edysin Simon I can agree with your statement. But now RAM is the only frame to be rated for 35,000 pounds. 🤔
the allison they're putting in current GM pickups isn't as sturdy as they were using 10-15 years ago. the AISIN in the 1 ton ram is a better unit
What's the drag area?
Love your reviews. Would be nice if you showed the increases of payload, hp etc from 2018? :) Easily nicest truck in the class. Toyota is not even close lol :/
This is such a strange comment. Toyota doesn't participate in this market segment. You know who else doesn't come close? Kia, Ferrari, Mitsubishi, Lucid...
I currently have a ram 2011 3500 Dually and it has six hundred and seventy thousand miles on it I like the mega cab option the fold down the seats to sleep in it because I haul for a living but at almost $90,000 there's no way I could afford a new truck
Dont overdo it Ram, keep them cheaper than Ford Or Chevy and eat their market share...looks great!
Pricing was just released.
Or just buy a lesser package. If you don't want the limited buy a laremie or a tradesman
:O Me want!
I don't want the 3.42's only like they had in the Cummins SRW 4th gen. Are they giving options for gearing now... Other than in the dually?
Hil Palmer there are only two options with regard to gearing, 3:73 & 4:10.
GIT ER DONE!!!!
Is the high output edition only available in the 3500 dually set up?
only in the 3500, dually or SRW
When will the Ram Trucks 1500 get their new Diesel? Thank you for the video. Roger
Next year or later this year. They've been spotted testing the diesel engines.
Is it a new diesel, or just a 'fixed' 3.0 Ecodiesel?
@@ALMX5DP Fixed ecodiesel, but probably with more hp and torque.
abdullah ramzan with the fix you think they’ll bump power and torque up? Hmm, I was going to say equal to previous given the likely more restrictive emissions stuff and such.
@@ALMX5DP They have to now that they have competition from Ford and GM, which they didn't when it first came out. They've also claimed that they will take back best in class hp and torque for the diesel, so I reckon it's a good chance that they will bump up power figures.
Price for a fully loaded Limited trim with the Cummins? $80k-$90k easy.
I dunno, given the improvements made to the interior I can see this Ram easily taking the top spot from Ford in terms of pricing.
@@ALMX5DP Not going to happen. But they will be vying for the #2 slot.
Krane why do you think that? By all reports the new Rams are vastly more luxurious to the competition. Seems like that would drive pricing up.
I mean everyone bitches about fully loaded pricing, and "what happened to the good old days of trucks just meant to be beat to shit" and then theres the 3500 tradesman which you can max out at like 55k with a dualie and cummins (crew cab 8 foot bed and an extra grand estimate for the new HO Cummins)
I wouldn't even want to pay the price for a fully loaded tradesman, but you bet your ass if I win the lottery in getting a fully loaded 3500 with the HO Cummins in either Laramie Longhorn or Limited 😂
I want a front bench seat with a column shifter. Please.
single cab
Jim Morrison :D
My guess is the 2020 Ford super duty will have *1010* torque lol
jmasoncar s yeah the torque wars are kind of comical, especially when you consider most medium duty trucks have detuned versions of the consumer models yet routinely are tasked with much more.
jmasoncar s Ford will say it has that, of course, who knows what it will actually have 😂
The Ford Super Duty still has the class leading horsepower so it evens out.
@@krane15 I'm curious as to how that's going to work in marketing
Yeah ford and chevy always trying to compare,but ram is the best,
Well if you wanna be number one you have to sweat everything, and if that's how we determine ambition than Ram I wish you all the best because my god Chrysler looks to have spend every dime they had. Let's see what Chevrolet will bring to the table.
Darius Dennis you are spot on - just like you said, you can tell they pushed all their chips into the center of the table on the truck interior and it paid off.
I think Chevy saw the size of the RAM HD's grille, and decided it was the only metric they needed to beat... :-P
Chevrolet / GM dropped the ball again. They are slowly ceding 2nd place to RAM in the full-size truck market.
You would think they could incorporate some kind of ram box on a dually bed given all the real estate.
GM can’t beat it, that’s obvious!
So from what I've heard, you can only get the new 1000 lb/ft engine in a 3500?
correct, and only with the AISIN transmission.
Thank you Alex. One quick question about the Cummins with a manual transmission. Since this is the most "detuned" version of the engine, would that mean it should last the longest since it stresses the engine the least? Thank you.
No more manuals.
Rxonmymind thank you.
Would have been nice to see an increase in fuel capacity from 31/32 gallons to 50+gallons. Also wish they would revamp the tow mirrors similar to ford.
I agree on the fuel tank capacity with especially on the 2500 Hemi.Its ok but I wish it had a 40 gallon tank at least.
