Seeing Tommy push that light on and off over and over made we want to reach back and take a swipe at him and yell STOP IT!😂
Yes true but the swipe would be real for me with no emoji.
Yes! Thank you guys so much for more RAM videos!!
Same options as my 2019 3500 limited besides the bed 115v outlet. Tommy always points out the smallest little things and his lack of dodge/ram knowledge. He also missed that Ram went back to the Bosch cp3 pump.
Great video bro
You don't want auto 4wd in a diesel. That's asking for a problem when dealing with that much torque. Also, the foam door cup holders have been out for a long time. They're very easy to remove and clean vs having a spot that you can't get your hand in. Fyi if your truck didn't come with them, you can get them on Amazon 40bucks for thr pair. They fit that cab style 1500 at least back to 16.
People fail to realize the market for these trucks is not you average Joe. It's Guy that own Ranches and Big Farms That can easily afford these types of trucks for there daily's and Some Guy bidding on trailer loads running highways all day that enjoys all the comfort being in the truck for 10 hours a day.
I don’t think anyone fails to realize that
Or oil and gas/mining guys who love making payments lol. In western Canada that's the most common from what I've seen.
Showing off features that are in my 2018 3500. Some of the new ones are cool though. Thanks guys
In a climate that has long wet winters and some nice summer. I think the hybrid mat is great. Best of both worlds without having to spend stupid money on 2 sets of floor mats.
Agreed but they don't cover enough of the carpet which still made me go out and buy the husky mats.
Is there still mega cab in this generation 2500?
Ramcharger would actually be a good name for their electric pickup ...if they decide to build one🤞🏼
Ram really needs to put the HO and Aisin transmission in the 2500. HP and torque is way behind in this segment which is the much better selling segment of HD pickups.
They’re the only ones doing that now, they’re limiting the power if you want more you have to get the 3500 which is BS cuz it’s obviously capable they’re just restricting it as for ford and GM you still get the same numbers if you get a 2500 or a 3500.
That's the same over head light I have in my 2007 Wrangler😆🤣
My sister has a Yugo with that light in it. Ha Ha
The trig is pretty useful for contractors doing any framing work.
This is a sofa and laptop on wheels! This might be my retirement truck!
I picked up a '21 2500 Ram diesel Laramie for my retirement present. I absolutely LOVE my truck!!
Love everything but the fold out in the rear seat. Had one in my titan and hated it.
I find it hilariously ironic that an $86K truck has a spot for you to keep your spare change.
🤣👌
I had floor mats like that in my 2006 Scion Tc
this would go well with your $500k 5th wheel
Our little furry friend did not get her paw stuck in the opening for the rear cupholder, but she did get it and chewed one of the four pieces off! The trim pieces are not available as a set, of course, but only with a new load floor for about $300.
They still have coin holders in vehicles 🤣🤣🤣
They come in very handy for paying tolls. I use mine all the time!!
@@whammond511 thought to they were all paid via a pass or your license plate.
What's so funny?.... Has the use for change gone away?.... Nope.
@@estherswartz9588 Only if you have one.
Where's the Ram grill & Ram Projector in the back seat?
Idk why but i smiled seeing that gear shifter
You made my head spin. George Thorogood would be proud to be part of this review. ;)
I prefer simple. My truck is a short bed standard cab 2wd. With manual windows and locks. It’s a Ram Express. And it is pretty darn quick.
I just bought a used 2017 f150 xl for 27k that has a rear locker on it. Ram, what are you doing? Put it on all your trucks. Or at least all of them above 50k dollars. I'm sure this truck is amazing. But 4x4 auto and rear locker are not to much to ask on an 86k dollar truck.
Got up right on time!!...Bummer!!! No Coffee...just Flat Pepsi🤢😮😯😕. But TFLs on!!!😀
The price these new cars are getting ridiculous ....
Agreed
Curious about the 5th wheel kit. I bought a 2019 longhorn 2500 with 5th wheel / gooseneck towing prep group. However I didn’t get the puck and ball case. Should this have come with this package?
I would rather buy that one instead of the TRX, the 2500 is soo much more practical and useful than the TRX. I can use it for everything. Work, Four wheeling and a every day Truck.
If it doesn't have the cummins. I'll buy it. Definitely don't want a diesel as my everyday driver for good reason.
@@ghostlegit, what’s wrong with daily driving diesels? I’ve done it for years without issue.
@@CornFed_3 gas prices. High cost to fix if something goes wrong. Transmissions. Cost to put in a new motor if motor blows. Yeah no thanks. I mean u do u man
@@ghostlegit, diesel is the same price as unleaded where I’m at, so that’s no worry. My Aisin transmission is pretty strong and shifts like butter. Motors can blow on anything and none of my Cummins trucks have ever had that happen. I also always buy new so that I’ve got a warranty. Anymore now, a highly optioned gas truck is the same price as a diesel equivalent. To each their own though.
@@CornFed_3 my uncle has a ford 7.3 powerstroke greatest Ford diesel ever built and he's had it repainted it a really dark purple red. It's a great truck and it hasn't been rebuilt or replaced any trans or engine but idk where u live but a diesel vs a gas is 10 to 20k as much as a sticker price as a trx
And whats the payload?? Looks like that one has the Night Edition package as well. I like that the change holder has a spot for Canadian loonies ($1 coins) now :-) Beautiful truck.
Probably around 2000 lbs? I think RAM has lower payload than Ford trucks
@@johnliu6855 they typically do. I have the cummins with an over all payload of 2200 pounds. My buddy has a 2011 F250 (low miles nice truck) gasser with a ridiculous 3200 pound payload. However......I absolutely hate riding in his truck. Neither of us tow enough to own these trucks, but we do. I would rather have a lower payload and not be wore out by the time I get to work from the ride. To each their own.
I just got one to get groceries.
86k and no rear locker standard on a 4x4 what kind of heavy duty truck is that
You mean just like ford & gm? Yes, I know ford offers an electronic locking rear, but I don’t believe it’s standard. AFAIK, both gm and Ram only offer limited slip rear in most of their hd line. Power wagon being an exception.
@@jeffs2809, Ford’s locker is an additional option while GM has them standard. Having owned all 3 brands in recent years, I only ever got axle deep stuck in the GM. Ram and Ford always got out of ruts.
Don't have a boat nor do I go off road... I still want one
Tommy why not do black bear pass in your mini Cooper it would be so much fun. Live young man go for it.
Locker is a option just like.every other truck. It is option I always choose.
The only Heavy Duty Ram that has lockers available is the Power Wagon.
@@CornFed_3 You can get the off road package and get a rear locker, just like on the 1/2 ton ram.
@@fscottgray9784, incorrect. Only the Power Wagon has them. The only other options are open diff or limited slip.
@@CornFed_3 My 1500 has the locker but you are correct they have dropped the option in the 3/4 ton for rear only locker.
How tall is Tommy? He seems like maybe 6' 4" or something. I'm 6' and I don't think I can reach that far into the engine bay
If only ram gave us a 2500 with the high output cummins option and a zf or Allison trans. The 3500 is a great engine but the aisin sucks for daily driving. Hopefully ram will take note.
Tommy Lad. What you have there is a RAM ROYCE.
MY 2005 Chevrolet ASTRO has cup holder inserts so THAT drink cans do not rattle...nothing NEW here!
How much????
Great truck, the only problem with it, aside from the slow infotainment processor, is that terrible 68RFE transmission. The much superior Aisin, which also gives you a higher output version of that engine, is only available in the 3500. Thanks a lot Chrysler. Cue The trolls who will tell me they've towed 300,000 miles with that terrible transmission and never had a problem
How can we be trolls when it's the truth. Nothing wrong with the 68 son
The guys at TFL have commented themselves before about how the Uconnect seems quicker and more intuitive than competitors. The Nav versions seem even quicker than the none nav ones. Did you just get up this morning, write a comment, and proactively disparage those who wholeheartedly disagree with you?
UConnect is the fastest and smoothest of the current available systems. The 68RFE is solid overall when treated properly, too. We aren’t trolls when we spout facts.
@@TheSabrehawk wholeheartedly disagree? What exactly are you smoking?
I have owned Rams for lots of years now and tow 11 to 12 thousand pound toy hauler 8 to 12000 miles a year. I don’t see the need for the high output in the 2500 or the Aisin. Towed over 100k with two different Ram 2500 before trading in neither ever went to the shop for anything but oil and a recall excellent truck.
Quirks and features
Great looking interior.
3:55 ladies! 🤣
In the main compartment of the center console, you forgot it has a space for hanging file folders….
My 2010 Ram has the same foam cup holder (with pen slot) in the door panel.
My 2020 Laramie Level 2 has all of the same features minus the Limited specific leather and adaptive headlights. I also paid a lot less.
2021 ram 1500 classic tradesman quad cab 4x4 v6 tow pkg , posi traction all terrain tires, spray in bedliner and ram steps 34 k😊👍
What exactly is a Gizmo?
A more sophisticated, purpose-built thingamajig.
I don’t know any truck that’s worth 86k especially a Dodge.
It a,ram
That motor good
@HalfShell yea
Who needs slots for coins these day?!
Tommy wait until you hear that big fan kick on while towing! It's like a airplane under the hood.
I own a RAM very similar to this one and I think it was missed that the HD 4x4 trucks that do not have a locker have a limited slip instead. I have had no issues with my 2500 limited off-road. The truck weight is the biggest negative for serious off-roading.
Also to the comments of 10k and a rebuild I am curious. I have a little over 50k on mine and it hasn’t missed a beat.
Wait, 4x4 without a locker?
The only Heavy Duty Ram with lockers is the Power Wagon. Other 2500 trims either have open diffs or the optional limited slip. 3500s come standard with a limited slip.
@@CornFed_3 Power Wagon has lockers but no towing/payload capacity.🤦
@@zelenizub2036, I mean, that’s any 2500 truck.
I would like to see the ram 250 vs Ford 250 challenge
TFL , I have a real hard time watching the young man review things on a car that they can't realistically afford. No offense I enjoy Tommy in the off road and tour /trail history segments produced very much. But we've all been there young and trying to move up financially in that world, this truck is for middle or older folks who can swing the 900 to 1k monthly notes. I'm looking at getting one and training my Chevy HD possibly next month. Maybe more older crews can discuss these more higher trimmed vehicles in the future more often. Always enjoy the enthusiasm everyone brings as a team, and the quality has grown tremendously since 2010 .But just an opinion that wasn't asked or desired. Carry one fellas have a great day.
If you are buying a truck and would have a $1000.00 monthly payment, IMHO you have bought the wrong truck. If you are planning to finance probably want 40-50% to put down on your OTD price.
@@EBangtson1 lol regarding the price didn't matter still need more realistic opinion and review. 3.6 is average losn for 60 months. Price is dictated upon how much rebate, dealer cash, and manufacturer cash bonus you can toss on. Along with outside vendors like gm credit ect. Even 700 a month I find it hard to talk to someone who's barely able to drink lil lone listen to their review.
That you should mention the overhead light operation seems very picayune. We aren't all as short as you are so reaching into the engine compartment or the bottom of the bed isn't a problem even for some my adult grandchildren. We seem to have a first world problem with some young people, eh shorty! 👴🏼🤔😊👍
To each their own but to me that’s about the best looking super duty I’ve ever seen. The floor mats I like. Remove the carpet for winter and reinstall in summer.
Too much money for something with a weak transmission. 3500 would be more worth it
The 68RFE is perfectly fine for 95% of owners.
@@CornFed_3 95% of rams are still on the road. The rest made it home
@@iamn360, guess I’m in the 5% then because all 3 of mine have never had a transmission issue. That includes the 8-speed, 68RFE and Aisin 6-speed.
$86K. Not a chance in holy hell. My '71 Dodge D100 does more daily work than most pickups on the road. $600.
So is that $86,000 stitching in the console and seats? How can Ram justify the huge price tag? Trucks shouldn’t cost as much as a house.
People will still buy them every day without question. Technology advancements cost more and they add more markup to justify it. Even Tradesman trim trucks are over $50k without discounts.
Ditch the music bro
Rubber cupholders on $86k vehicle? 😩
First
Nope i can’t imagine spending that much $$ for a truck and durning this so called pandemic they did come to think that maybe people don’t have the $ because they are not working
This is exactly why I do not like you testing truck… especially the Rams. It is a work truck. You put whatever light you dam well please. Do not annoy others with your woodpecker like habitats. With two piece floor mats: you are noticing it just now?! Early and/or mid forth gens started with them. Hey (rhymes with rummy or mummy) Tommy, the bigger main part holds stuff that fall through the fabric part. The fabric part makes the entire setup look more upscale while being easy to handle for clearing. If you know that you are muddying or going for some sand, you can opt to leave them out. With 12” U-connect, I think that your glasses 👓 are cracked. That big 8.4” top is not giving anyone else in the states eye 👁 problems why you?! The stack style keeps the interior large and spacious while keeping usage to the driver. I do not know if your cracked glasses 🤓 will allow you to see, but you can drag important app buttons down for main use ability. The a/c hard buttons look good as well. Tommy, stop ✋ reviewing trucks please. Thanks 😊.
TFL- You should have just re-ran last years 2020 review. 2021 disappointing 👎
$86,000 and the payload is probably less then 1800lbs. Completely irrelevant for a 3/4ton.
It’s amazing how a truck channel doesn’t have payload information. It’s great to see a $86k with a payload of a half ton.
@@BillUtah was looking into the same exact truck, color and all. Unfortunately it'll be a 1ton SRW needed to see a payload worth getting over a 1/2
Meh
😖🥴🤑🤡🤮
This kid (Tommy) is annoying to listen to. I wish one of the older guys made this video. I would've watched it until the end.
He is getting better, used to be more annoying. Give him 15-25 more years.
Yea sounded whinny and gave the impression he was complaining about everything
Cool is it electric..? Then it's past technology..EV is the future. Invest wisely 🤣
86k and no rear locker? They are keep it.
We got one at work, with the big touch screen, the screen has issues, faulty electrical system, have to reboot-up constantly , the A pillars are designed very poorly, cant see much, i am 6 4". I drive this truck atleast twice a week. JUNK
Ah yes. It'll need a complete rebuild in about 10k miles.
Ah yes. Another ignorant moronic comment
On a Cummins LOL You know nothing do you lol.
@@Welcometofacsistube oh the engine is fine. The rest of the truck can go in a trash can as far as I ever care.
@@OutlawFarmersRC Ill know nothing at yo mommas house.
@@wesleyfurnish8228 Talk about a childish immature thing to say lol. Are you in Middle school? What a internet warrior you must be. Just sad lol
For that much money you’d expect Fiat/Chrysler/ Dodge/ whoever bought this horrible brand to make a decent truck. Only good thing about these are the Cummins option and in some years the transmissions are decent. The rest of the truck is cosmetically nice but falls apart.
Recheck your stats again there kid!!! More reliable than ever. Older models. Yes. Your correct. 4th and 5th gen. a lot better. Cheers bud...
@@ramrider1453 exactly. He’s thinking of the 90’s trucks. We run dodges at my work, we get rid of them at 200,000 miles to keep fresh vehicles in the fleet, but we never have problems with them and they’re still perfectly good trucks even with 200,000
You must be thinking it's still 2002.
@@DanBCooper Cool!!!! Our contractors at work had Rams also. Used and abused and there still kicking. That is what made me jump into a Ram.
Priced to high.
It is a Stelantis......every gizmo/gadget is one more thing that will crap the bed on you.
Almost as ugly as the Chevy 2500.
Wow nice video Tommy! Fun to watch! Take care.😋
Love my RAM Truck but $86,000?!?! Who on earth is going to pay that much?!?! I figure the 2021 RAM 2500 will be my truck in about 10 years and 200,000 miles.
