- American automakers take their trucks extremely
seriously. And the ongoing battles for dominance among the Detroit three are often called the "Truck wars". Third place challenger Ram has made waves in recent years, snagging major industry awards and stealing market share from rivals. Watch this video to find out how this upstart is now posing a more serious threat to rivals than ever before.
Ram has gone from a third-place also-ran in America's truck wars to a serious challenger.
The Ram Heavy Duty pickup snatched industry publication MotorTrend's 2020 Truck of the Year award on Tuesday, giving Fiat Chrysler's pickup brand yet another award to add to its growing trophy collection. The smaller full-size Ram 1500 pickup won the same award for 2019.
It is a dramatic rise for a brand that many in the industry thought Fiat Chrysler was mistaken in creating in the first place. After the Italian automaker Fiat merged with Chrysler in 2009, management decided to spin Ram out of Dodge, allowing the former to focus on trucks and Dodge to focus on performance cars and a few other models with solid customer bases.
The move seemed dubious at a time as cross-town rival General Motors ditched some of its own brands. But Ram has roughly tripled sales over the last decade and appears to be taking market share away from rivals.
It has done so by giving up on going toe-to-toe with Ford and GM on towing and capability numbers and instead offering buyers a solid all-around truck with a plush interior and a lot of highly visible technology in the cabin. The move might have seemed like a risk of its own: truck buyers have traditionally been considered practical customers who often purchase their vehicles for work or other specific uses.
But the bet seems to have paid off both in critical praise and growing market share. Now analysts say GM and Ford are taking notice and may be making similar tweaks to their own lineups.

Why GM And Ford Are Worried About RAM
Am I the only one who still calls it a Dodge Ram?
I always have been I never knew the ram name was anything more then a dodge model
Yes
I still call it A Dodge Ram.
You’re not alone I didnt even know they split so what is this its own brand now? Ram thats the brand?
W1CK3D WAYS you’re *
Remember the old days when pickup trucks were less expensive than cars?
Now they’re double
My last NEW pickup was an ISUZU Spacecab Turbo Diesel, it cost $ 11,004.64 cash out the door & used it to haul newspapers for 10+ years reliably. Other friends who had bought domestic US brands had to replace them within 4-5 years due to mechanical reliability and wear & tear ISSUES. My ISUZU Spacecab ran for 16 years before sidelined by mechanical problems, mostly parts availability.
David H Bingham haul newspaper really ?
Apple User 2 true alot of it I assume
Good times!
"And why Scotty Kilmer is determined to destroy the brand once and for all."
Kilmer has an irrational dislike of GM products. I’ve owned vehicles from several popular makes and I have had the best experience with those from GM. I have a Chevy pickup now and I’m hoping it will be the last vehicle I own, because GM got everything right.
I never considered Ram, Ford, or Toyota.
@@GH-oi2jf Toyota is amazing
Scotty has a dislike of anything not old Toyota celica
But remember is the movie says Scotty doesn’t know. :)

I drive Ford - but as European the Focus - but I like the Rams best for their designs.

America the home of the biggest trucks with empty beds.
Yes that is the truth...I read once that 75% of pick ups sold are just daily drivers with owners not really needing a P/U truck for anything other than status. That is why trucks these days are loaded to the gills with creature comforts that guys and girls that need a truck for a truck couldn't care less about, and would rather be able to buy a truck without to save mucho $$$. Most of the people that buy trucks use them as cars so they want all the enemities, car like ride, muscle car performance, sports car handling, luxury interior, etc. thus the way too high prices. I remember when people that bought trucks wanted and needed a truck and all the brands were half the price of a car. And those trucks came with a steering wheel, shifter, heater, cloth or vinyl seats, rubber floor mat, and maybe a radio. Ahh the good ol' days!!!
You're an idiot if you can't realize that the pickuptruck has replaced the old 4 door sedan in America...because sedans have become to small.
@MrJre4491 no you're the idiot. Sedans are to small. Pickuptruck sales prove me right
We live in a country of wants, not needs basis. Buy what you like and be happy. Just want to get out of the Subaru once I can afford the fuel for truck.
I dont know what i hate more....the trucks and their huge HID lights,or the owners tailgating and blinding you.
I love that 50% of the comments are about Scotty.
@silverbird58 Yes, that's it!
Scotty must've been unjustly fired. LOL
Lol facts!!!

That’s Scotty Kilmer’s market share for you.

Every time GM redesigns their trucks, they get uglier and the sales drop.
change my mind, Silverado peaked with the GMT800. routinely seeing those getting 300K+.
Colorado zr2 is a beautiful new design.
MrJamesLuz Except sales are up lol

Gm needs to put the 350 v8 and the 4L60E in there truck again like they used to in the 90's
All Trucks these days are way too expensive!
In Comparison to what?
@@derrickfarrar5736 The average American salary.
@@Anon1mous okay ! I wasn't trying to be smug or anything but using FCA products and websites (from Canada ) a base charger starts $33,000.00 and a base RAM is $36,000.00 so naturally I thought trucks are marketed fairly vs cars and SUVs not average American salaries . Sorry !
Just get a base model, gas motor, end of model year discount
Then start making more money
Just traded my new GMC Sierra for a Ram Laramie. Much happier now
@Edward Martinez mine is a 04 model, still runs like new, the only thing i have had to do is replsce the waterpump gasket, 200k miles, hell the brakes went to 150k before replacing, battery went to 2017, its been a great truck, not sure my JEEP GC will hold up as well
Gary Sisk Your Jeep will not hold up at all but Ram sometimes is very reliable.
@@JT-yz4rj No, GMC is a downgrade.
Have fun with that stupid knob shifter
@@Tetrahydrocannabinolove Who cares about the knob, do you feel more manly having an outdated column shifter? At the end of the day is an automatic smh.
It’s interesting that pickups took the place of the big American sedans of my youth. So think RAM was smart to focus on interiors and a non leaf spring rear suspension for a better unladen ride.
But less load-carrying capacity.
Simple. They no longer make any big sedans, and not every body wants an economy car.
“Dodge has been Killing it”
Scotty has left the chat.
lmao
Dodge doesnt make trucks genius
@@hg2blackcat411 so what you're saying is my 1999 ram 1500 wasn't made by dodge
@@jacobmullins3644 I said doesn't. Which means now. If i said didnt, that would have meant past tense.
Jacob Mullins Dodge doesn’t make trucks anymore.
You’re a fool if you believe in JD power awards
Lmaaoooo you actually have me laughing...
@mike a you could expect it coming from such a big vehicle but it is fair because for the person that doesn't want a vehicle that doesn't waste alot on fuel, the negative reviews of other people on that hummer tell that person that the hummer is not the vehicle you're looking for.
It's been proven that if you want good marks from JD POWER, you have to pay them. They re corrupt!!
Raftika dodge trucks no matter what fiat calls their trucks today, they are the same old pos that totally rust apart before they are paid off. The lowest quality rock bottom priced Chinese steel, take out the cummins and you have a pile of junk. And that’s coming from a man that was a Dodge man back when they made quality trucks like my 1974 Dodge Ramcharger that purchased new in 1974 and still have with the order form still in the glove box.new for 1974,,$4800.00

"Soo maybe our strategy should be to build a really good all around truck."
Gee, you don't say.
probably why all their other vehicles like their Jeeps always break down lol seems like the only thing that they have that doesn't consistently break down
Trucks are usually considered utility vehicles, so the first instinct probably shouldn't be interior luxury
Lol, seems so obvious..., now! They really did lead the way towards “family” trucks. In my opinion, RAM does make some of the classiest looking vehicles on the road today. I now a legit billionaire that likes to drive one of his 1500 “service” vehicles for day to day occasions. Also, RAM covers the truer sense of the work truck ideology with their HDs.
I just bought a new 2020 Ram 1500 Crew Cab Laramie with the 12 inch screen and it is truly awesome. It's better than any laptop resolution and it's fast full of many options to configure. It's an awesome truck full of luxury and the ride quality is second to none.
I can see scotty’s arms and hands going wild
I think it’s a little funny though because Dodge has relatively low quality and resale value.
Good technology can be great, but that still doesn't definitive the quality of the build of the vehicle
I can put a touch screen in a 1989 chevy vehicle but that doesn't make it better
mark p I put a Sony XAV with CarPlay in my 1986 Porsche and it’s so much better looking
@@flaman2011 try repairing the A/C system or trying to change the HeadUnit when it becomes outdated.
*_*SCOTTY KILMER SEETHING INTENSIFIES_*
Captain Caveman my god stop copying and pasting the same joke over and over.
Scottys right
Tell him to pound sand.
I’m not a brand kinda guy, but recently bought a 2019 Ram Limited and have been blow away at how refined this truck is. I can see why Ram is growing!
I rented one and was impressed with it. It seems to be designed for a larger guy. But the mileage and performance handling ride everything was tops. The ford handles a little better but what a horrendous ride compromise. So to me ram wins.
I’ve been a fan of Ram trucks my entire life. I still think the mid 90s trucks are some of the best ever built.
The ones that can drive through twisters?
Toyota Tundra is the best of the best.

Ford and Chevy aren’t as worried as Scotty kilmore
Why would he be worried??? He's a mechanic. He gets paid to fix broke down vehicles. This news just means he will have more business opportunities.
General Zod because he actually cares about his customers and tells them to not buy these trucks
Chevy is!
Ram selling the outgoing and redesigned model at the same time is a ridiculously smart move. It's something that FCA has done with the Caravan/Voyager/Town&Country/Pacifica that has helped them too.
And the old and new compass and old and new grand Cherokee though they both only lasted a year. And I’m guessing the voyager too as I dont see new ones after 2021. The rams are still being made and the grand caravan was JUST discontinued. Those lasted a very long time.
I'm worried about RAM too, they have a dealership in my city that says Hyundai on it
Ram is made by Fiat, Hyundai’s are decent cars compared to Fiat junk.

I’ve owned all 3 1/2 ton models. GM’s transfer cases fail on all 3 gm I owned around 100k. Ford rear end failed at 42,000 miles and their 36k warranty wouldn’t cover it, and because of that Ford won’t get my business. Had some bad luck with older dodge trans in company vehicles. Bought my first Ram in 2012 and it has been excellent. I’d buy another Ram.
I love my 2016 Ram 1500 sport, I would definitely get another one down the road for my growing family!

@ all the people hating on Scotty Just because the truck is a top seller doesn’t make it good. The video says how much technology ram has and that may be true but that comes with many electrical issues. Ram has risen due to smart marketing not good quality
I have a 2005 ram 1500 that I've owned sense 2008 and never had any problems with it. I change the oil and do the brakes, other than that no issues. It's been a great 4x4
When I was in the USAF in the late 1980s, I would drive custom built 4 door Dodge Power Wagons up and down the flight line. I’ve been a Dodge fan ever since. Now, if I can just find me an old USAF Dodge Power Wagon. Those were some utilitarian trucks.

Coming from a Mercedes ML, I loved the tech in the 2015 1500 Laramie Ecodiesel. With lower ownership costs, basically the same tech as the Benz, and more utility, it was an easy decision.
Also, I bought the lifetime warranty, so I’ll probably be driving this thing for at least another fifteen years.
The true beginning of Ram's rise started in 1993 with the 2nd gen 1500.
As a 1994 model year. This was definitely a turning point for the Dodge truck legacy.

20 years ago pickup trucks were used... as pickup trucks! I mean, actual hauling, hard working, towing...

Generally, although Ford still sells a ton of 3-seater long beds as fleet vehicles
GM is worried, Ford has nothing to worry about.

Best Truck I have ever owned. 2003 Tundra and I keep saying when it breaks down I'll get a new truck. It doesn't seem to be happening. Close to 300K on a 6 cylinder automatic 4x4 and the biggest thing I had to deal with was replacing a timing belt 3 years ago. It still has all its original parts, including water pump and alternator. But if I was to buy a new truck, I would look at a Ram. They are just very innovative and classy looking. The new Tundras are built great but look very dated and cheap.
mitch-da-weirdo 619 Toyota trucks are junk that are plagued with frame rot😂😂😂
The new Ram is amazing. By far the best truck. Yes ford and GM have their tech features that I wish the Ram had however hands down a Ram will always be my choice. I have driven many cars and have owned Chrysler’s for over 40 years. All have been great.
You don't need "tech features", you need sturdiness, load-carrying capacity, and good torque.

You mean you've had so MANY problems. 😉
Another $2,300 down the money pit for my Ram today.
Yeah they’re killing my wallet alright
John Salcido How much would you say you’ve spent on it, did you purchase it new or used (if used @ what km/miles), and what year?
I don’t own a truck, I’m not asking in defense of Ram. Just curious!
The GD junkiest truck ever. Crash rating sucks. Transmission and wiring sucks. Premature rust. Soft touch interior is plush when new and falls apart when aged. Some things are better in new than old but the durability part of the RAM part is behind. But...... Cummins is a beast.
@@technicalitems731 F350+Cummins+Alison= Dream Truck.
Technical Items Agreed. Got a Ram 5500 and the Cummins is a beast but what’s the point if everything else in the truck is junk. Computer/sensors, suspension, transmission, steering, radiator, you name it! And the truck is extremely taken care of and not that old.
For comparison I got 4 older Ford Trucks that I have tortured in the fields for years and still going strong. What I spend on my Ram a year of repairing it is what I’ve spent on all my other Ford trucks combined in the past few years..........
John Salcido yes! It’s a huge risk to buy a new 80k truck just to get a Cummins and an experiential truck attached to it! It might be a different story if you have a friend who owns and old dodge and you observed his ownership from a distance and saw all the issues and repairs he made and bought one for $4500(with a manual trans). Then you can just say to yourself, “meh...the dash is cracked in half, ac isn’t cold, body rusted out....but he has replaced the driveline and cooling system recently so I will buy it to tow my old dirt track car on weekends”.
“Why GM and Ford are worried about RAM?”
Idk, CNBC never answered the question. 🤷🏾♂️😂
do you need it drawn out in crayon or nah
They spent a little over 10 minutes explaining why...Top of the line technology...best in class interior...Great looking Truck body...and Performance...and they are doing it at a cheaper price than ford and chevy....what is not to like??? Idiots Answer: "huu well..huu...that ram is just going to fall apart on the road as you drive. I know because i'm jelous"
sicpuede and all the cracked Pentastar oil coolers, the seized hemi roller lifters and ground camshafts.
no thats fords 10 speed transmission .lmao
@@brianmcguffee8780 Hey, I can put icing and sprinkles on a turd that doesn't make it a cupcake, just sayin
My 2003 RAM is going on 18 years young in September. It is a 2500 Heavy Duty pickup truck with a Cummins diesel engine. It has over 200,000 miles on it and it runs like a top. The absolute best vehicle I have ever owned next to my Chevrolet Suburban.
Maybe if they could build reliable trucks again with transmissions not failing at 50k miles
new dodge/fca is much different than the OLD! The ZF transmission is bullet proof , The Hemi & Pentestar is award winning
DeltaDog94 dont they buy the transmission from some where else rather than making them?
W1CK3D WAYS they buy their Transmission from German company ZF! ZF makes the some of the best transmissions in the world.
@Aptos Aiden try towing with it and see how long it lasts. There's a legit reason why Rams have such comparatively low resale value.
DeltaDog94 not the Cherokee 9 speed lol
Ram is killing it forsure... my pocket that is.. sick of loaner cars... I wanna drive my truck for more then a month at a time
Times change
The GD junkiest truck ever. Crash rating sucks. Transmission and wiring sucks. Premature rust. Cummins is a beast.
I mean you cant really beat a ram cummins or that sweet 5.7 hemi, god tier
I was shopping for a pick up truck a year ago and thought I wanted a Ford F150. Then I actually got to drive one. It was a nice truck but for the price he didn’t have a lot going for it. Then I drove a RAM at the same price point. It was better equipped, had a normally aspirated V6 which I like. It also came with a trailer hitch and wiring watch the Ford did not. The styling, those subjective was better and it uses a knob instead of a shifter. Even the 2021 Fords don’t have this at the price point the RAM is and the styling is s bit dowdy at that. Been very pleased with it so far.
Truck consumer: so why is this truck better than the competition?
Ram: "TECHNOLOGY. It has the biggest screen."
Wtf 😂, it's a truck not a laptop.
Cummins.. nuff said..
Watch that technology break in less than a year
Just like phones, half the screens will be cracked like it’s normal🤣
More crap to break. And break the bank when you try to fix it.
The software On the screen is confusing AF would rather just stick to ford sync tbh
Chevy killed the Silverado with the ugly 2019 redesign
@Randumb i think that after the 1st generation silverados chevy trucks really went downhill
@@tatersgonnatate5650 the only thing good about these Gm trucks is the 4l60E
Yeah that 2015 design looks better and is safer that chevys catfish looking truck
I love the look of the high country's
I liked the 2015-2018 Silverados. I like some of the Ford and Ram trucks with certain trim packages. But I chose the 2019 Silverado because in my opinion it is a great looking truck inside and out. It is by far the best truck I have ever owned and I have only ever had trucks.
Killer interiors that make you want to ride all day. RAM is far ahead.
The ride quality on Ram 1500 is incredible.... Quote cab with just enough V8 grunt. And the suspension just absorbs everything. They really hit it out of the park.
Love my Ram! I’m on my second. Ram owner for 10+ years.
Nope, you was Dodge ram owner, this one is Ram 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Damn two trucks in a decade? How about one truck for two?

Between the Ram and Chevy the Ram looks better, rides smoother, and has a much nicer interior.
The problem is it's Chrysler Fiat.
None of those are work related. If you want those three things I suggest buying a car.

Wrong!
If anything, I wish that the truck makers would take more of a "get back to the basics" type of approach with their lineups. I used to have a 2007 Silverado Classic that had an MSRP of about $17K almost 15 years ago. It was just a work truck trim level, without the fancy bells and whistles, but a comparably equipped new truck today costs double that. Pickups are meant to be utilitarian work vehicles. Why would you want to spend $50K and up on a vehicle that is going to get used for that? You would think at least 1 automaker would realize this and sell a basic pickup in the mid $20K range.
Ford xl trim has crank windows, and Toyota sr trims even have rear seat deletes.
I remember in my younger days didn’t have a pickup, I got stuck a few times that was enough. Finally got a 4 by 4 never went back. Bought a Ram fully loaded bighorn very comfortable rides nice love that truck so bought a boat.
They are not worried.

I'd rather trust a mechanic over a "journalist" when it comes to cars and trucks.
The mechanic isn't analyzing or comparing market trends, demographic changes, or truck utilization in order to report on the aforementioned aspects of the automotive industry. That's why mechanics, for the most part, don't present reports.
Ensign MJS -- all things I dont give 2 fools about. Just make a vehicle that isn’t a POS.
@@thomaspayne6866 , agreed. Trucks don't have to be overly complicated. There should be more basic trucks in the market then there are now.
You're assuming that CNBC actually hires "journalists". They don't. I
Funny you should say that. I asked my mechanic at my last oil change what he thought of Fiat Chrysler, "garbage" was his answer.
I learned how to drive, and my neighbors 3 son's did also in their Dad's Green with a White top, 1969 Dodge Long Bed 318, 3 speed column shifter Pickup! We grew up in Rural N.C. This truck was their Dad's daily driver for work and coaching Little League Baseball and Football. We drove that truck around back roads from age 12 onward. Cleared 10 acres of bottom land beside a creek for a lake. A road (Hill Climb) was cut in with a Bulldozer at the upper end of the bottom right on the creek at a 90 degree angle. Had to hit the hill in 2nd gear and keep it floored all the way up hill! It was about straight up and scary. It was a good 1600ft long climb and you bounced and spun but you didn't dare let off! This old Truck hauled all the log's up out of that bottom and a log house for the kid's was built in the woods behind their house. The youngest son used to take it in green cow pastures and haul @$$ and jump little bumps and bigger one's and catch some air! Fun Times! We jumped one we couldn't see with the front wheels turned left, landed all on the right front tire. Blew the tire and bent that steel wheel flat on one side.OOOPS!! I have a 1992 W250 4x4 Extra Cab Longbed Black and Silver, 12 valve Cummins,5 speed manual Trans. I wouldn't sale it for no amount money. DODGE BROTHERS, REAL TRUCKS!
I drive an 02 ram 1500 with 232.5k miles and it’s still running strong. I would definitely get another one
Chevrolet exterior and interior is crap compared to Ram
Completely agree
You must be drunk!
You’d never pay me to own a FCA vehicle.
You have lost your mind. Even the Longhorn interior is junk. I would much rather have a Denali.
@@JK-li7fp Sounds like you've lost your mind compared to anyone online.
gmc/chevy has had same interior look for so long its boring
ford has less impressive design
ram is really the only one changing it up then Toyota
GM should be more concerned, their interiors are so 2004.
yeah, even the denali line looks out of date. Not sure if it's been unveiled yet but I heard a while back they were supposed to be revamping the interior specifically to combat RAM; only time will tell!
I sell rams for a living, I have a fleet of used denali trucks. Yes the interior on a Denali is embarrassing
RobGod yeah but IMO I have this conspiracy that GM is still taking design cues from Fords 11th Gen F-150 04-08.. interior door handles etc.👀🤷♂️ the list is so long..it’s slowly been downfall since the GMT-900(which was like a reskin, those GM bean counters where half-assing back then what Ford did back in 04), they really need to go back to the drawing board though. RAM is using their resources well like Ford when they had their Premiere Automotive Group. If RAM offers a SUV it will be end-game for GM..The Sierra is nice but I was expecting more from that interior and the previous Gen too which taillights awfully look like the 04-08 F-150.. but that crap started with the GMT-900 platform. I really do miss the GMT-400-800 design language, yes it was more of a “in-house” approach but it was distinctive.. RAM has borrowed in the past but those Fisher Price like interiors where no mans land, but they’ve learned their lesson. RAM & Ford seem to be playing a game of “Whatever you can do I can do better” I’m a Ford a guy and become little nervous when RAM is mentioned, was not feeling the headlights on the 2015 & up model F-150s but it was original where the K2XX Sierra seemed to literally look for 04-14 F-150 inspiration. At that time it was good to see GM do something descent but it was completely done before a decade earlier.. we’ll just have to wait to see what GM does with the next gen Burb, Yukon & Lade interiors order to see the possible cues the current gen trucks will get when the interiors are revised 🤷♂️ but from the looks of the spy interiors of the next gen GM SUVs RAM & Ford shouldn’t be worried..
Gen3HemiBuilder 1964 yeah it’s sorta been embarrassing for a while though, it’s interesting when you look at the Mark LT when only produced from 05-08 in the US, it did a better job at distinguishing itself from its F-150 counterpart than the Denali has in its entire production run, the exterior of the current Sierra is sharp but the interior is just what let’s me down, RAM has literally stepped up their game forcing Ford to really put their money where their mouth is for this next generation of F-150, what I do like about this current Gen Sierra is that it does look less F-150ish and original though. I don’t even know where to begin on the Silverado. I Hope the RAM does your fleet good !
Interior comes down to taste. Never been in a quieter truck than a Denali. Always loved GM interiors. Minus the squeaky 90's early 2k interiors
They have been giving such good deals on the Ram pickups for the last decade, that definitely helps
I like the basic trucks with bench seats and crank windows and standard transmission.
And no rug on the floor!

You’ll need a time machine then.

The expense in manufacturing really isn't from raw materials. That's a bit more negligible. It's in the design, engineering, and manufacturing. Overall it's much cheaper to produce a pickup than a car. The design is simpler, the manufacturing is simpler, and the scale negates all the engineering and machining costs. The price of a pickup is more about demand than anything else.
@Kevin Smith . . . I recall back in the 1980s that security outfits utilized mini-pickup trucks as their patrol vehicles because they were lower priced than the compact sedans of the same model years.
I've had three Ram's my 09 had 175K on it when I traded it for a 2020 Laramie 4X4. Nothing on the road beats the ride, styling, and tech best trucks by far.
I own a 2005 dodge ram daytona edition, other than regular maintenance, ( oil change, brakes, tune up, ) I haven't spent much money on it, and it runs awesome.
Ram isn’t getting better, it’s just that GM is getting worse
Yep that's why I switched to Toyota
Actually you're wrong, yet right. Ram IS getting a lot better and GM is getting worse.

Brother are you stupid that doesn't matter the frames are steel they only get siperficial rust and which the frames can last a long time.
Bot 2.0 Chevys are bad about rusting out because GM uses cheap materials and are using similar frames with bad production
