A year ago I ordered a brand new RAM 1500 Laramie to be my daily driver! I had spent some time in a few of the latest RAM trucks, different trims and engines and really liked the overall experience. With air suspension, a great interior, plenty of tech and luxury, the Laramie seemed like a great choice for a very practical, utilitarian and premium daily vehicle. Especially given the atrocious state of the roads in the Midwest, brutal winters and need for practicality, a truck seemed like a great choice. After one year here is an update on my ownership experience, the things I found I loved and hated about the truck and the final verdict on the 2020 RAM 1500 Laramie!

Nicely produced video while driving. We’ll done. I just bought my 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie Night Edition. So far I’m thoroughly digging it!
Hey there Eddie. Great review. I love all the items you covered and in detail! I enjoy that you stated you’re leasing and that you added the wheel and tire package. That’s annoying about the rear backup assist since I like to back in my vehicles. Good to know!
I have the same truck and love it. I agree about the backup braking! I disabled that but kept the audible sensor on.
GREAT REVIEW. WE JUST GOT A 2022, LOVE THIS TRUCK
Your videography is awesome! Love your setup! Quiet, not a lot of shaking, great voice volume. Love the angels of the different cameras you shot. What brand is the attachment to hold the 3 cameras? Do you love those? Was it a camera package or did you buy the cameras separate?
Very nicely detailed as usual. It’s always a pleasure watching your videos. 👍
Appreciate the kind words!
you have the exact truck I would want. the white with night edition and 4 corner air, nice choice on the spec man looks fire. oh and btw sick into the am shirt I have the same one. love into the am clothing
Ram engineers need a swift kick in the ass for making fuel tank size options; we all know you want to stop more often when on a long trip (said nobody EVER). Just put the largest tank on possible, done!
It does feel like a nickel-and-dime move…
How about a 05 duramax DUALLY with a 22 gallon tank 🥴
Friend of mine just got a 2021 Laramie I hooked him up with. He loves it. One of the best trucks ever made.
That's awesome!
I just bought a 2019 dodge ram 1500 Laramie myself and I test drove every other truck there is. I felt the Laramie was the best and it’s my first Dodge. I could had bought a Big horn that was 3 years newer with 10K less miles for 5K less but I liked the Laramie better
Wow, what a deal! I appreciate you being honest with the cost. I amazed, I am looking for a ram 1500 and hope I can get a deal close to that.
I just found a 17 with 44K on the odometer for $34,000.
How were your payments so low?
Good truck! Thanks for sharing ur ownership pov.
I like how you mentioned parking in the city bc it’s even hard to park the gti in the city sometimes
amazing truck, i hope to have it one day
Exactly the same issue with ours on the rear collision...turned it off as well. Otherwise I love this thing.....first truck as well.
That was sincere and I loved it
@EddieX It sounds like you got a really nice deal. Which dealership did you go through ? Was it really 0 money down or did you have to pay something upfront ? taxes...etc.
Great info! Thanks!
I definitely want to get another RAM, the interior and styling of the trucks are amazing. I’m allergic to car payments so maybe when I have the cash in hand I’ll consider it.
Same I might pay with cash or just finance one I’m definitely still gonna buy one but I’m definitely not doing the air suspension
Can you go over the buying process with you leasing it? I’m thinking about building my next vehicle for a lease but I don’t want to get ripped off.
I just picked up a 21 ram sport, a Canadian trim basically the same thing as a laramie, so far I really like it, I did get extended warranty but I probably won’t keep it more than a couple years
Does it have a limited rear slip differential? Please let me know because I'm interested in one. Do they come with a front camera as an option?
Thumbs up for channel 51 BPM on XM Radio 👍🏼👍🏼
Yesss the sensitivity is awful in reverse I totally agree with that
Today is one month owning my 2021 Ram 1500 4x4 LongHorn Limited. I ordered mine also. I have not driven it much (180 miles). I replaced the Shitty 22 inch BADYEAR Touring Tires. With Michelin Defenders LTX I was waiting to get the Clear film. On the front, door edges and rear fender flares. And it took over a week to get the Mopar tonneau cover. I took a day pinstriping, the wheels. And butting on the Mopar Ram Splash Guards. And getting the windows tinted. I installed a CAI. And i just got the whole Truck Pro Ceramic coated. And custom Pinstriping on the side. Its Done now so i can Finally enjoy it.
I’m saving for the same one with everything except air suspension air suspension is not my thing
I bought a used 5th gen 19 Dodge Ram 1500 Ram for 28K with 90K miles on it very well taken care of. It was 31K out the door . It’s my first Dodge. The only thing is it’s a 4X2 but the last 4 wheel drive I had I only used 4 wheel drive one time so I was willing to sacrifice. I wish I would had went with the 21 after the crazy interest I paid but I’m a first time car buyer so idk. Do you think I made a good decision?
Haha. I had to shut off my rear braking assist also. Just like you I tolerated it a few times and then had to shut it off. Even an angled driveway that you’re reversing in it didn’t like
Haha me too! I think the sensors were picking up the the faint exhaust smoke in my situation. Idk but it was super annoying and disabled it after the second time it gave me whiplash lol.
I wish column shifter comes back when i buy my next truck.
Congratulations on the R8 rws. Best R8 made in years
Thanks!
Did you do a Cell Phone Mod to Stream CZcams on the Radio?
If you want some nice suspension on the other trucks add the
off-road package for $1400 makes a big difference and you get extra protection underneath your truck like the Fx4 package on the Ford
I’m definitely doing the off road package
Great video. This is the exact truck I would build...where can I find it to buy lol
How do you like the shift dial?
Whats a better choice a 2022 big horn or 2020 Laramie
No jerking problems? Mine around 1.5k rpms at a moderate slow speed (40 mph or less) steady throttle.. jerks like it doesnt know what gear to be in. Ever have something like that?
Why didn't you just get a limited? Just curious. Thanks.
How many of us have a tick in the engine at startup that goes away after oil gets up to the cams n lifters. I do, 14,000 miles
I’m actually gonna be saving up for a patriot blue or a flame red or a white ram 1500 with everything that I want except the air suspension I’m not a huge fan of the air suspension
I love everything about the truck except the fact the interior scratches and scuffs so easy
I turned off my reverse breaking as well, going down a slanted driveway and having it go off constantly scaring the crap out of me.
So annoying! The horrible nose it would make is not great
Noise*
My Ram is in the shop right now getting a new motor put in cause the cam went and shot metal through the whole motor. I miss it so much I'm just binge watching Ram reviews lol. Great trucks.
What motor?
@@zacharygoeden1282 5.7 Hemi
I could never lease, I drive like 25k miles a year ...but it's nice to dream
I absolutely hate the dial shifter in my Ram......despise it like satin!.....always forgetting to put it in park so it auto corrects.....40yrs with column shifter is hard to adjust from.....other than that it sits really low....wish it was lil taller stock
So I got a question how to turn the speed off
Into the am! Love the shirt!
Thanks! I have a discount code too!
@@EddieX that’s awesome I’ll definitely use it, me and my fiancé are always buying from there!
@@crusade314 awesome! I'm literally wearing one of their t shirts right now as I type this comment lol
@@EddieX Same! I’m currently working rn but I have it as an undershirt. Their regular blank shirts with their logo are even awesome
I have a 2012 Ram 1500. I am considering using Toyota genuine motor oil 5w20 because of the great additive package and the fact that it is API SN rated. Anyone have any thoughts?
Best oil to use is Penzzoil Ultra Platinum, I use it on my car and recommend to my everyone. It has one of the best additive packages and wear protection out of any other synthetic oil. Project Farms made a video where he put a lot of oils against each other in various tests, such as heat cycling, evaporation, bearing wear test, etc. Amsoil came out on top, but it doesn’t have the best additive package and Penzzoil came out in a close second, but has all the ratings you’ll need and has great additives.
Nice truck
Nice Intro😎
Damn how'd you get such a good deal on that??? You must have 700+ credit?
I didn't know you could order a car new and lease it, I thought you had to buy them
why laramie instead of limited?
Quick question how are you getting out of your lease so early?
Just a simple buyout
*the dislikes are from parker's alternate accounts*
Dude awesome truck, I think the Ram 1500 is the best daily driver vehicle
It was quite awesome. I really liked it
Had mine 3 days and this things eats gas worse than my SS Camaro. Any fuel saving tips?
You guys love buying gas 😂😂😂😂
Hows the Harmon Kardon premium stereo with subwoofer/900 watts?
It's awesome
What is "Harmon" Kardon, is that a knock off Harman Kardon? I'm sure it's not a typo as I've seen countless posts on forums mentioning the same sketchy name.
@@pdxbmwfan5824 I'm sure your attempting to be edgy as I perfectly understand what the original poster was referring to.
@@pdxbmwfan5824 big fail bro.
Can i buy the truck
How in the world did you lease a almost 70k truck for 550 a month with 0 down? I’m looking at leasing a 2021 big horn that’s 54k and 3k down it’s 880 a month!! That’s insane. I’m not gonna do that haha.
Probably really good credit and 0% APR on the lease is the only way I see it. But even then… 🤷♂️
Yep. That price he quoted is not possible. I have 800 credit. Looking for my second ram lease. A 60k truck at 10k miles is 640ish with a few grand down.
You do realize the market has changed substantially in the last two years lol
I do agree the roads are absolutely awful In the Midwest
dude try Maine, worse weather and 10 times poorer.
TUNDRA 1794 edition
Or
RAM 1500 LARAMIE
??
good question , I'm wondering the same thing
I don’t lease . Best truck for the buck. Glad I didn’t get a 21 , 22 or the 23. Cost more you get less.
Can you elaborate how you get out of your current lease to purchase a new vehicle?
Just a regular payoff value. Buyout essentially.
you should replace it with a audi q7
Bro in which country you live and love you ple tell
US - Michigan and Illinois (states)
$69K with nice incentives for $550 monthly with not down? Nah, don't believe you. You will pay only $19.800 for a RAM 1500 Laramie fully loaded? Sorry but it cant be possible.
The truck wasn't a purchase...
@@EddieX yeah, I know… you said it was a lease. I went yesterday (I know it was not under 2021 circumstances “chip shortage”) at a Dodge dealer, do you know how much they were asking? $5500 down and $950 monthly 🤦🏻♂️… yeah, I know… I just laugh and left the dealer. It was almost same truck (air susp, panoramic roof, Laramie, etc) and at $62K ($4K discount). So… I think you were a really lucky guy or you knew well the dealer manager. 😂
Does ram has auto brake hold feature
Don't think so. My 2020 Laramie did not
@@EddieX its called the start and stop feature.
@@363361329 it does if you have the etorque
@@jstardhami9958 can it hold the stop on the incline street?
Dudes now days are okay with just renting their vehicles.
You tend you lose a lot of money buying them outright and if you have a business you pay next to nothing. Especially after write offs.
$550 a month plus the probably $5000 he put down to lease. That’s over $10,000 when he could have bought it and resold for, at worst, a $4,000 loss instead of $10,000 loss
@@tristan3759 he put zero down!
@@Jay-hp6pu I bought mine in cash and could sell it for more than I paid for it 2 years later. Didn't pay interest and wasn't renting a vehicle
@@fatoni698 much wiser to use other peoples money as much as possible. Other people here = the bank. 2% interest to keep $60k+ worth of your own cash liquid is much smarter than dumping it into a depreciating asset that you can’t borrow against.
That rear braking assist is terrible. I can barely back into my garage in my grand cherokee without it going haywire and making me think i hit something.
Yep. I got so annoyed I just disabled it haha. The sensors and camera are plenty
I disabled mine also. Pain.
I won’t be leasing a ram I’ma just buy one
Air suspension is annoying well for my 2014
He said I don’t live on a farm that’s a stereotype lol
How the hell did you get a lease payment of $550 on a $69k truck with $0 down and 12k miles per year???
I just did a build on RAM’s website and your truck would lease at $1,071
A lot of discounts
@@EddieX $30,000 in discounts 🤔
@@ImYoutubing247 no not even close.
@@EddieX world love to see the discounts because the math doesn’t add up. I wanted to buy a big horn but the price of new vehicles are astronomical right now. If I could get close to 450 a month I would lease a BH.
@@ImYoutubing247 I'd have to dig up the order sheet. It was nearly 2 years ago and I did receive hefty discounts. That was absolutely my monthly payment tho 😅
Do you ever come up for air man?Gas..Gas..Gas 😆
I like da one?.
A 7,000 mile review eh? Interesting...
So which did u like better the f 150 or the ram
Ram... Which is why I chose it
Please clean the driver side camera ... YUCK!!!!!
How in the world did a $69k vehicle lease out for $550 a month with no money down?? Makes no sense.. calling bs
Massive incentives.
That payment can’t be true
My Nissan is from 2019 and I made only 50.000 km total. I guess you drive a bit more😅
whyy nottt do a 2/4 drop 🙍🏽♂️
A what.
because it's a lease
Why not squat to pee?
@@dirtymontego its not a sqaut its a flushed drop wish you knew more🙍🏽♂️
@@BENDOVER-xr8pc I know lmao but I just had to say it 🤣
God I wish I was in the US. These are about 125K here so with no money down they cost about $1800/mo
Which is fucking insane. Cool truck tho but only the super rich can have them.
also the laramies here don't have that interior so still the old 8" screen and no sunroof :( no air suspension either, have to get the limited so like 160K+
4:20 nice bike. ride free
Impossible price. Especially for 12k miles. 550 is not possible with no money out of pocket.
With the discounts at the time it was possible for me 👍
can i take over your lease? lol
Sorry it's already been sold
$69004 Laramie not a good deal
That math doesn’t add up
What math
@@EddieX I love that truck. The lease payment on a $69,000 truck even if the resale price was $55,000 should be higher than the $500 range, no???
@@drewyager4020 agree. i wish i could find a ram at this price for this monthly payment
Like I said, I was fortunate to get some heavy discounts.
@@drewyager4020your lease payment also depends on how frequently payments are made. Might be on bi-weekly plan instead of monthly.
Paying 550 a month for 3 years and nothing to show for it lmao
Yeah lmao
You can get an inground pool with patio for tge price of this thing and in 5 yrs it will be worthless.
Yeah a pool would definitely be worthless in 5 years
"I don't live somewhere stupid - somewhere rural". How does rural = stupid?
😂🤣😂. 🤨
If you can’t park your car you shouldn’t have a drivers license
Good for leasing. Bad for buying. Especially since it’s a Fiat Chrysler product…
If you take care of them they will last
That’s a huge lie. Dodge offers super reliable vehicles these days. Had a ‘14 Charger R/T I bought with 26k on the clock traded in with 122k for a Camaro in 2020. Zero issues with it whatsoever throughout my 37 months of ownership, that’s right👌🏽Zero Buddy. Came with 5 year 100k power train from factory, and the brand was also very proactive at handling recalls(something all cars have these days).
Bought a new Ram 1500 LS/NE 3 days ago and it’s my very first brand new car because I trust the brand, and they actually stand behind their products. As the other guy mentioned here, if you take care of your Dodge vehicle, then it will last you well over 100k miles 👍🏽
@@dougedoug2105
“That’s a lie”
Naw, I’m only stating the facts based on consumer reports.
Now, I will admit that some of not most of those consumers don’t take care of their vehicles with routine maintenances, but I’m sure just like your experience with a Chrysler fiat product, there are people who say the exact opposite and they themselves do regular maintenance.
Now, I will also agree that many cars(even the most reliable brands like Toyota and Honda) have been lacking in quality these days. And that’s do to the fact of lowering production costs of the products. Toyota for example; has had recalls on some of their 4Runners because of the bad fuel tanks they used in them which were produced by a third party company. So you are correct there.
But my comment is not a lie if you look at overall consumer reports and complaints of the company.
@@Bimbo-Balls If you can’t personally offer a first hand knowledge of ownership experience , then quite frankly keep your consumer report complaints argument to yourself because it’s obviously wrong. The point here was that despite the brand’s reputation, their vehicles are durable, reliable, and when properly maintained they will provide years of problem-free ownership. No one is complaining about Dodge these days Bro, you’re the only person commenting negatively in the comments section. You must be representing the company that you’re referring to🤔
@@dougedoug2105
I get it, you’re a dodge fan boy, “bro”.
And I will indeed comment as I please. If you don’t like it then ignore my comment.
“They’re obviously wrong”
Those reports are based off people who have owned the brand. Your experience is different from theirs but it won’t change that there are more of them than your single experience.
If I go by your logic, I can say you represent dodge. But I’m not sticking to that conclusion because I’m not like you that has a hatred for someone else’s opinion. 🤷♂️
Nice Intro😎
Whats a better choice a 2022 big horn or 2020 Laramie
2020 laramie. The led lights, premium speaker, and pretty much any other good the big horn doesn’t have. The 20-22 models look exactly the same too.
