You guys do such great work. Over the last couple of years I’m amazed in casual conversation how many TFL fans I am encountering. Good for you!
Thank you.
they really do
I must agree. After watching this video, my wife and I purchased a 2019 Ram 3500 Tradesman from Bayway, Chrysler, Jeep, Ram in Pasadena, Tx 12/19/2019. Never knew how strong these trucks were. Thanks TFL.
Kind of defeated the point of weighing in BEFORE filling up the fuel tank...
thats not how people around here use their ram 3500's...it seems to be made for dropping kids off at school and driving to walmart, although the coolest walmartians have lifted trucks with giant flags
stickloaf ur talking out ur ass. No one would buy a dually with the 6.7 unless they hauling shit.
If you got the money to buy it you can do whatever you want with it.
Buying a truck like this just for a daily driver is such a waste of time and money. Nobody in their right minds buy it for just daily
Iv seen it done alot
I haul 22,500lbs worth of trailer, 4 horses and gear every weekend.
Finally back to towing videos with hds!
Almost 9mpg hauling 29k. Thats almost as good as a 2wd tundra lol
You pull 29k with a Tundra?

After I lost my Ford truck in the flood of Hurricane Harvey, I did some major research in regards to buying a 2500 diesel. I wanted a truck with enough HP to pull at fifth wheel camper later on.
The Dodge Ram 2500 Tradesman Cummins diesel with an 8ft bed is what I ended up getting. I couldn't he happier. The most I've pulled with it is a 31ft bumper pull camper. It runs like a dream.
You got a ram instead of a ford?? Ram trucks are literally garbage your going to do so much maintenance to it lmao replace 5 trannys. Or u could have bought a new ford with zero issues.
@@tylersutton7667 I have a 2011 Dodge 3500. I have had head gasket done at 346,000 miles & now is at 767,000 miles & I haul travel trailers for a living with it. No problems with my transmission yet. My biggest problem is how hot it gets pulling hills & if hot out I have to turn air conditioner off & put it in manual 5th gear pulling hill to help keep it from getting to hot.

Can’t get enough of the TFL videos. Great job guys. Thank you for real world testing.
Love this channel! I'm a Ford guy but love seeing Ford, Ram, and Chevy. I would drive all those trucks in heart beat!! Keep up good work loving seeing American Trucks especially diesel ones!
You are exactly right. The fuel tank is way to small. I have the same issue. I am filling up every 200 to 250 miles, that is when I am at 1/4 tank. Towing life is real.
Lol my bosses f250 6.7 gets 13 mpg and about 11 mpg towing a 9000lb chipper. And i was driving like a grandpa. I dont understand these new trucks it dont feel like 400hp. My 7.3 feels more powerful than these new ones
I'm preety sure they sell extended gas tanks. Atleast for my 06 5.9 there is 3 or 4 feet of room straight ahead of the tank.

That's about what my 5500 Cummins 4x4 gets hauling a loaded 40 foot flatbed at that same weight. The difference is I have a 56 gallon main and I installed a 90 gallon auxiliary. It has MUCH longer legs than my bladder. I can pick and choose which states I want to do business with. (I never buy fuel in California or Oregon.)
29,000 lbs? Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Class D anymore...
You're gonna need a medical card to drive that.
Need a CDL as well

Your videos never disappoint. Such an awesome truck.
Great looking truck! I love my 2015 Ram 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins
Love the headlights. Reminds me of the 2nd gen styling
Ok. Now waiting for the Gauntlet
Amazing vehicle. RAM continues to lay the smackdown on the rest.
Couple things though:
- The configurable menu was available on the 4th gen deluxe models
- The exhaust brake measurement was available on the 4th gen deluxe models (you just have to select it in the configurable menu).
- The automatic bed lowering was available on 4th gen. Same goes for backup and trailer cameras.
This, and other tests they did of the Cummins is making me feel really good about my recent purchase of a Ram 2500 4x4 crew cab that I bought for when I retire in a few years and want to tow around a 12,000 pound toy hauler. That kind of mpg with that size trailer is pretty amazing. I am getting 20mpg myself in a mix of city/highway driving 20 miles to and from work. Can't wait to get a trailer for the Can Am Maverick I just got and see how it does with that small load.
Thanks for showing the actual payload number for that specific truck. We’re looking at truck/truck camper combos and need to know real world info like that - not max payload from the manufacturer for a stripped down model. We would love to see it for new Chevy and Ford trucks featured on here too.
The new Chevys and GMCs have the payload weight on the door frame sticker.
It's actually important to know how much regen impacts fuel consumption.
You shouldn't be regening until roughly 40,000 miles, unless you are towing a lot or do a lot of city driving.
Towing or not, my truck regens about once per tank on average. For people that do a lot of stop and go, it can be more often than that.
Chris then there's something wrong with your truck. Not once did my truck EVER regen in 15,000 miles.
You wouldnt regen pulling this load anyways. It was hot the whole time
UPstater5.9 exactly! Once you got that engine hot, you're burning fuel efficiently and won't need to regen. That's why they tell you to drive on the freeway for at least 25 minutes or more.
Love all the reviews and the channels. 32 gallon tank! My dads 03 Chevy suburban has a 36 gallon
Wow, took you forever, you finally fixed the flaw in your testing. You used cruise control. Now it’s more even and consistent. Good for you.
Best channel ever on CZcams 😊💯
I get 11MPG on my 2001 2500 towing 20K... GCVWR of 29K Lbs. You'd think in 2 decades they could do better.
They could if we still had the same emissions standards from 20 years ago.
I have one on order! Supper thrilled. I am already planning a 35 to 50 gallon aux tank in the bed. Recommendations welcome.

For anybody wondering about the cost-benefit of a pickup vs a medium or heavy duty truck, that's better than my work truck gets.
I drive a 20' reefer truck with a 33k gvwr every day. I'm not usually maxed out every day, and I get 7-8 mpg.
This rig was rolling at 36k+ gcwr.
true and most tractor trailers are getting 5-7 mpg at 80k which is crazy! IMO
Good point. What engine and trans does your truck use? I guess the only benefit to a diesel pickup is being able to park in parking lots(duallys are tougher), hauling smaller loads, the crew cab, traveling unloaded, and the 4x4. Crew cab and 4x4 is possible but a big expensive deal on a medium size freightliner or international..... and a medium truck gets worse mpg than a diesel pickup when driving around unloaded. I think these guys who hotshot heavy loads most of the time may be better off with a medium truck lol
@@technicalitems731 I don't know. It's an old Mitsubishi cabover that I hate. I used to drive an old Sterling that we've affectionately dubbed the "War Wagon", but the reefer took a dump on me last month, so they put me in this piece of junk.
Our fleet mechanic said we're getting some new Freightliners to replace a couple of these old cabovers, and they cannot come soon enough.
I just bought a new Peterbilt single axle 33k with the 9L engine and 10speed it cost less than this truck (well till the dump bed was added)
Long term the med duty trucks are the better investment. They’ll do it everyday all day without a hiccup.
Luke Diehl
The thing to remember is this setup may be heavier than you but it's more aerodynamic than pushing 2 4x8 sheets of plywood down the road.
My uncle recently got one of these in the Laramie Limited trim and I gotta say these modern trucks are packed with features. He calls it a “cowboy Cadillac”. His is also the HO and it’s a dually mega cab. We just recently took a 12 hour road trip and despite there being 3 adults, a teen, and a baby, we were ally pretty comfortable. We just laugh when we hook up his trailer which is like an 18ft enclosed automotive trailer because we almost forget it’s there. He’ll be buying a new 40ft trailer soon.
Nice video like always guys. Thank you.
That new gauge cluster is terrific! It's great you can specify what you want for the small gauges as well as the main display. :)
Amazing, big truck- very nice! The Hot Shot guys would love this, I'd think. (Except for the fuel tank size. Have to add an extra tank in the truck bed, probably.)
jedironin380 I have that, minus diesel, in my 13 Hemi
2005 5.9 3500 (SRW) 17,000 pounds total weight 14.4 @60 mpg on mostly flat interstate travel.
It's amazing how far trucks have come, to have this much more power and this much more truck and still get the fuel mileage of an old non emissions truck is crazy.
The differene between 60 and 70mph for fuel economy for towing is enormous.
@@Dexter_Solid Very true! My '04 F250 V10 gets around 16.5 pulling a 5k trailer at 65, that drops to under 15 at 75.
When i first saw this new Dodge, it reminded me of Dodge's Big Horn, 1974 LCF Truck.
Love the intro music! Great video!
Only gripe is the fuel tank size.... Why only 35gal on something rated so high?? I see those perfect for 2500s like my F250 but 3500s should come with larger tanks.
Even on a big truck like that there is only so much space, by the time you add DPF, axle, transfer cases and DEF tank there is only so much room for fuel. That's why semis have the tanks where they do, there's no room between the frame
They said 32 not 35
CaptAmerica300 I’ve been complaining about the fuel capacity for some time now. If Titan can make a 51 gallon to replace the stock fuel then why not partner up to make that happen? I don’t care to have an auxiliary tank in my truck bed.
@@Morphz_Unlimited Honestly, probably some EPA bs that applies to OEM designs but can be fudged in the aftermarket.
I have a 50 gallon Titan tank on my 14 mega cab dually. Best mod ever!!
Plenty of room for the bigger tank, should come standard!!
Your emergency brake away trailer clip is not connected right 8:45. Connecting to the chains is not going to activate it. DOT will get you for it
Yup, that would be an immediate out of service. you can hook it to the same location the chain is but not the chain or any part of that chain. Not a good mistake to make.
Big boy truck. Thanks for the video.
Iconic duo 👏
Nice truck, can't go wrong with Cummins. Under 40 gal tank? What were they thinking? I have a 40 gallon tank in my 94 Suburban.
Steve Svensson I’m not sure what these people are thinking. I purchased an F550 truck with the 6.7L and it only has a 30 gallon tank. I fill up every single day.

@@kirk0respite hahaha yeah with that kind of mileage i bet
The newer Suburbans only have about 30 gallon tanks. MPG is improving so tanks are shrinking.
@@DeltaSierra426 I get 16 mpg in her. She has over 250,000 miles..love my burban
I just got my special order Ram 3500 Limited (MSRP) $90,120. I have a Titan 51 gallon fuel tank on order as I agree with you guys regarding the size of the stock tank. I have been a Ford guy all my life and this is the first Ram for me; I absolutely love this truck!
In 1998 I was advised to buy a 11,000gross vehicle weight 350 with duels with a cumings diesel, standard shift to pull a 416c cat backhoe with a mpg 4x ram and a 100 gallon diesel tank on a magnum tandem duels , this was by a TEXAS DOT officer! I bought it and moved my hoe from site to site until 2015. I only had one clutch replacement and a four wheel drive bearing in all those years. I had to register DOT because of the weight but she never once let me down, I still am driving her on the ranch today with 188,000 miles, still starts and runs like the day I bought her. The mileage has remained between 9 and 12 mpg loaded and 16 mpg without trailer and load. Best truck I ever owned, I hauled 4 to 5 days a week for years.
These are all fine and dandy videos and i really enjoy watching them. But I wanna know what my truck does stats wise after 150,000 miles. Im pretty sure all these new trucks are so similar in stats that they are almost identical, I wanna see what they look like 4 years down the line. Would my 2015 KingRanch F-350 compare now to when you guys did the Ike when it was new? What brand holds the test of time? When looking at a new truck, I wanna know what is going to last when I'm spending $100,000+.... Yes I know there are variables and whatnot to take into consideration for older vehicles, but in general.. How do they hold up?
You have to include regen. For me, it lowers mileage by about 10% under normal conditions.
Lol Scotty is a quack.... and your 100% right. It's unavoidable in a truck that tows more than 98 miles ever in it's life.
If I owned this truck I would immediately put a a sticker on the top of the oil dip stick that says “pull to start”. Lol
Why?
Look at the engine in min 2:35 , the dipstick looks like a pullstart on a small engine
Love your videos, just wondering if you can do a "emergency stop" to see how that goes.

I agree with you about the larger fuel tank. 32 gallons just isn't enough to a long haul.
Auxiliary fuel tanks are sold for just that reason. Adding an extra 50 gal is easy.
Exactly. Considering that Ford comes with 48 gallon tank, Ram could've put larger tank in there.
@@ShersGarage remember though that even the Ford tiers it's fuel tanks to cab size. The max tow Regular Cabs still only have a 29 gal tank, Super Cabs have a 34 gal tank and only the Crew Cab with 8' box has the 48 gal tank size.

Nice review on a nice truck.
I like the fact that your can monitor your DPF and manually start regen mode whenever you want. It's annoying when mine starts as soon as I get to my destination.
Really, it's not like it's important for you to know. If you don't complete a regen, it'll just start up again the next you drive it. What's important is just making sure you drive it long enough every now and then to complete a regen.
@@AkioWasRight I've had times where I've cut it off during a regen and the next time I drove it, it didn't start back up. Manually being able to start it would be nice. I'd also appreciate it if my DEF gauge said more than just "OK" smh.
@@BGCE69 That's because a DPF doesn't always require a full regen or even the completion of a partial regen, but let me go into some detail and clear some things up. Please keep in mind that this is how things work in general, but not all diesels work the same way.
So, when it comes to Rams, you actually do have a system that tells you when your system is "full" or when you "need" to complete a regen. To better understand, just think of the DPF as like any other type of reusable filter. When the filter is full or clogged up, it needs to be cleaned out. If it's only half full, you can still keep going without clearing it. That's just like your DPF, and regen is just the clearing process of the DPF.
All regen is inevitable because, like all reusable filters, a DPF congests.
Now, it should be known that there are difference types of regen. You have forced regen, which is a service a technician will do for these trucks in cases of severe buildup, a passive regen, which just happens when you're driving normally, and then there are two different types of active regen. A full regen is one type which absolutely requires you to allow the process. "Full" regen is require when you DPF is supposedly "fully". You actually will get a warning telling you this. This is the only time you need to pay attention to when it needs regen. When you need a "full" regen, you'll either be required to drive it for an extended period of time to complete the regen or you will have to have the DPF serviced. For that and other reasons, we should avoid "full" regen with more passive regeneration or by allowing the other type of active regen.
The other type of active regen is a partial regen. This is when your DPF isn't "full", but a regen is used to main a lower level of soot and avoid a "full" regen. This type of regen confuses people because they think they're supposed to do something for their truck. In fact, it doesn't require much. When a partial regen is activated, it gives out telltale signs, but no instrument messages go out because very little is required from the operator. While it's best to let a partial regen complete, it's not 100% necessary to complete it every time. In fact, a partial regen won't always start back up again, even if you didn't complete the process.
That's because the filter systems on these Rams are activated by differential pressure sensors that reads for certain levels of back pressure in the exhaust system. The system is programmed to last a certain amount of time for partial regen, but that doesn't mean it has to last that that long for back pressure to drop below the programmed levels and for the system to be satisfied. You could be in regen for 1/2 the programmed time and not need a partial regen for another couple hundred miles or more. If it didn't regen long enough to meet the set back pressure, the regen will start back up again without indication.
Again, the important thing is to just make sure you drive the thing and be sure to allow a complete active regeneration when it requires it. That's as simple as just driving for at least the programmed amount of time. It's always preferred you drive longer harder to allow more passive regen. If not, just allow partial regen every now and then to avoid filing up the particulate filter and triggering the "full" regen. Partial regen isn't as unavoidable and should actually be expected under most conditions. In most cases, partial regen lasts about 20 minutes at operating temperatures for every cycle. For most of us, that's part of a normal drive. If you complete a partial regen in one drive cycle, that's actually enough to satisfy the system and avoid "full" regen. Even if you miss a complete partial regen, it's not a big deal as long you don't keep doing that repeatedly.
@@BGCE69 Like the other guy said, there isn't really much you need to monitor or do for the truck. If you think you're interrupting a regenerating, it's nothing to worry about unless you receive a warning. There are different levels of active fuel assisted regeneration. Full is the only time you need to take action, but partial regeneration isn't supposed to bother you at all. You shouldn't even know it's happening. The only rule people should follow is drive least 20 or 30 minutes continuously to allow for the complete regeneration cycle and avoid completely filling the particulate filter. You don't even have to drive it hard like some people say, though that as beneficial. As long you aren't just driving cold all the time by start it up shutting off because all you do is go to the grocery store down the street, you shouldn't have a problem.
looks like a really nice truck(guess at $88 it should be)
Kent seemed to have a lot of fun “playing” with these toys
For a truck this size and with all the bells and whistles, I think under $90k is a decent price. But they should really make larger fuel tanks on these heavy duty trucks.
Anon Anon people who need the capacity can just buy an in-bed tank. Easy to add an extra 50 gal.
Good job . Good info Thanks
I think it’s true with all HD trucks that they ride better with a load. My 17 f 350 dually is pretty rough around town unloaded which is the way it is 90% of the time. Wondering if a good aftermarket air ride suspension would help that.
Im wondering about night hauling with trucks rigged to the max towing capacity like this test. If I'm not mistaken this ram has air ride suspension, rig without that feature would have a considerable squat, which would put the projection of the headlights upward. Then if you add bad weather like snow and mountains, now you're talking major pucker factor.
Just like an 18 wheeler, you park it when you're not comfortable.
@@dchawk81 wonderful idea, all the truckers in the ditch in a blizzard wish they would have thought of it, lol. Hard money jobs and schedules sometimes get in the way of wise decisions.

These trucks have a couple of gear ratio options and that will make a big difference in MPG. Which gears did this truck have in it ?

Great engine, shit truck
Dodge is the shit, a pickup hauling 30K. That's badass, and you can park it in your driveway. Great info TFL team!
That's why I hope to get a 4th gen 5500, it's roughly the same size as your typical dually and you can carry more weight than a regular 1 ton
2020 gms will tow 35k
@@nomercyinc6783 what model though?
CheekyKnob Sierra 3500 hd
Can you please, please, please ask FCA if I can put the towing mirrors with the cameras (and add the front camera for the 1500) from the 2500/3500 on my 2019 1500 Limited? I really wanted the towing mirrors when I ordered, but missed that the 360 camera was a delete with the towing mirrors on the 1500. Being power fold towing mirrors would be nice also.
Great video, better truck!
You guys must be the reason
Truck Trend magazine isn't around anymore
Still around.
I get it in the mail every other month.
Great looking interior, my only gripe is the cluster, the last generation not only said "Limited" but was the best looking cluster out of all the others. And yes, I'm a Limited owner.
Hi guy's I agree with you 100% with the the fuel tank size on the new RAM. I am a Ford guy and finally after years and years of reaching out to Ford about that issue of such a small fuel tank it was nice to see that they have increased the fuel tank capacity. Let's face it when you pay $70,000-$ 80,000 thousand dollars for a truck you shouldn't have to put on a after market fuel tank on it to make sure it gets you to your destination !!! I know it is all about payload and towing capacity but ti doesn't matter if you don't have enough fuel when traveling out of state in a rural area !!!!
Just curious as to your MPG loop route? Appears the truck was supplied by Johnson's Auto Plaza (best dealership in the metro Denver area) and I assume the trailer was Transwest of Brighton? Again I assume the Love's was the Hudson station not Bennett. Just wondering the loop used. The 8.7 MPG ain't to shabby for the weight. But that would be pretty much all level driving. Wonder what it would be pulling up and over the Divide and Vail Pass.
That truck was NICE! Particularly like the app showing exactly what the VIN is capable of. And the selectable gauge cluster. The radio/info center is bigger than my TV I owned! Amazing how far they have come.
Though a Chevy fan (currently a 2014 Impala bought new at Johnson's have no need for a truck at this time) but when it comes to pickups it is RAM (have had two of them over the years) all the way.
Love your reviews! Fell in love with the Jeep Gladiator! Have had 2 JKUs and planning on one as my next vehicle.
Why not top off before getting on the scale? How much weight was actually on the hitch???
BTW, Kent drove a Cummins for nearly 100 miles without saying, "it sounds like a Peterbilt". Are you feeling OK, buddy???
We had nearly 4,900 lbs on the hitch.
@@TFLtruck Perfect, that's right where my toyhauler is, so what was your drive axle weight on the scale, then?
3:20 Why not include regen? I understand it requires longer tests, but that's the reality of life for diesel these days.
Shouldn't be regening until roughly 40,000 miles!
phuc ewe unless you do a lot of towing/city driving, you shouldn't be regening until roughly 40,000 miles. I owned a 2016 ram 2500 mega cab limited Cummins and not once did I regen, considering I did most my driving on the freeway.
John Doe tell us more of this magical 40k mile regen cycle
@John BS.
Jason Larsen how's it magical?? Maybe you should own a diesel before talking out your ass!
Your breakaway cable is not attached properly. It needs to be connected to the truck. You can run it through the safety chain fitting and be legal. Also what rear end ratio did you have? 4.11? If you slowed down to 62-65 you might get 10 mpg.
How reliable are these new Diesel engines? Ford. Vs dodge. I need too get A cab and chassis and my truck currently weights about 16000 lbs. it’s a bucket truck. Not sure if I should go with a new 7.3 gas or the Cummins or the new 6.7?
10:53 - That watch, my eyes, my eyes... somebody flush some water in my eyes.
Breakaway cable was on the trailer chains.....yikes!
Ok Mr truck you just going to show off your nice watch
I love the ram HD limited because it is more technological than the previous generation!
Should do 2018 Vs 2019 Rams up the IKE
Why would you not include regen? You can't just ignore it, it's bound to happen some time.
Just upgrade your tank size. They have then out there or you can instal an axillary tank on a switch but that's still not bad mpg for the weight being towed
taking out the crosshair in the front was a very good idea, i like it better like this
