      @@bradster1200 Two reasons:
      1) Nissan had the focus of Cummins for building a brand new diesel for half tons... either an exclusive contract at the time and/or more lucrative than what Ram wanted to fork up
      2) FCA became a thing after Chrysler Corps's bankruptcy proceedings, so naturally Fiat wanted to use their own diesel
      Remember that in 2013, the half-ton diesel market didn't exist, so a lot of uncertainty came with any investments into such. Other market macro pressures like increasing emissions regs in U.S. and a slow economic recovery didn't help.
      It took Ford and GM almost five years to finally compete in this space, lol.

  • @DeltaSierra426
    @DeltaSierra426 Před 4 lety +1

    Great video! Thanks guys. Can't wait for those MPG numbers!!
    VM Motori designed this engine with vans and small trucks in mind, not strong, capable 1/2-ton American pick-up trucks like Ram 1500, hence no integrated exhaust brake. GM has a clean-sheet design (with specifically Silverado/Sierra 1500 in mind), so integrated it comes natural. Why Ford didn't do it? Not sure, lol. I'm guessing because the focus was fuel economy rather than max tow, as well as keeping price down? An exhaust brake adds weight, complexity, and cost, and generally in the 1/2-ton segment, a trailer brake controller is all that's needed to take care of downhill braking needs. If necessary, downshift these trucks until you get some decent natural engine breaking, i.e. 3-3.5K RPM in the light-duty diesels and 4-4.5K RPM in the big gassers. Pretty much all your modern gas engines have full fuel shut-off for no-throttle, decelerating conditions. It doesn't sound like, but don't let the engine sound fool you. ;)

    I'm surprised that you don't cross your safety chains where they connect to the hitch. It is better to cross them, so that if the trailer does become disconnected, the chains will form a "basket" for the front of the trailer. Just a good safety idea 💡.

      Personal opinions. I agree with the double cab and longer bed looking better but, I live in Canada. For 2019 you cannot order the 6.5 foot bed and double cab with the RamBox in Canada. Often is the case in Canada that we cannot get as many versions as the USA. Our market is too small. If I was not set on the RamBox, I would get the double cab. I agree, they look better. Maybe 2020 will be different!?!?
      I didn’t even try to spec crew cab and the 6.4 ft box. Too long overall.

At that price it wont tow or go off-road with me behind the wheel. New 2020 Ram 1500 Big Horn $58,383 diesel, New 2020 Ram 1500 Limited $74,008 diesel.

    I can't help but cringe when you said that under 1300 lbs payload is good for a fully loaded half ton. Ram has stepped WAY up in its game and they have a whole lot to be proud of, but their payload continues to be a joke. Before getting a 1-Ton, I had '17 Silverado 1500 fully loaded 4x4, 6.2L, sunroof, and everything else that kills payload and it could still carry a gnats ass shy of 1800 according to the VIN plate. Ram is making an incredible product, but they have got to get their payload numbers up.

The manufacturers build soft suspensions to be nice and cushy. I agree, it's a sad situation for sure.

If I had a diesel truck that got high teens, low 20’s MPG that is almost double the fuel mileage I get saving me 50% in cost that I can put back into the business.
