Been a Chevy guy all my life. Looking to buy a truck soon and been doing a lot of research. After watching reviews like yours, the Ram is at the top of my list.
Me to I went with the 2022 rebel tho rather than the limited
Yes u need to switch
I've owned Chevy and Ram. I currently still have my 2015 ram limited that I bought new. At 8 years old it has been great. All the leather still looks good. Everything still works including the air ride suspension. My chevy's never held up as well. You can't go wrong if you switch.
I am a die hard chevy guy too and now this is my third in a row . I just love the interior on dodge ..
Been a ford guy. I now have a Ram and love it.
I just got 2022 RAM 1500 Built to serve diamond black got so many special figures with this truck smooth drivin truck exciting to drive just very happy with this awesome ride.
You nailed it! I have the lonestar sport so I don't have the options you have but similar problems. My screen when stupid on me today and wouldn't respond to my satellite radio commands. Screwing around with it for about an hour and everything came back. Ironically my salesman called while I was stressing over the problem...lol.
Aside from that I like the truck. Owned many vehicles before but this 2022 RAM 1500 Lone Star Sport is my 1st truck. If I can squeeze 200-250k out of it I'll be ecstatic!
My 2019 limited has 0 problems with the screen and trans is as smooth as butter
Me too 👍👍👍
Same with my '22 so far, my Uconnect crashed one time and not while I was driving.
I was impressed with the features on my 2022 Lariat, but the features on the Limited are really over the top. Nice truck.
Wow. A gorgeous truck.
Yes, these trucks are the best of all the full sized, especially the interiors. I would get the Rebel or T-REX, but the T-REX is a bit pricey
I have a 2020 Ram Big Horn. Fantastic truck. No negatives. Get the 8.5 inch screen. They’ve ironed out all the bugs and it’s flawless. I gave the Hemi and never had an issue with the transmission. Smooth as can be. It’s comfortable and easy to drive. I’ll be keeping mine a long time.
I bought the Built to Serve trim and I love it. It has a gun safe in the center console. I'm really happy with it - I have the smaller screen and thanks for your complaints about the larger one, I'm glad it didn't stop me from buying a truck with the smaller screen. I have a cadillac, so if I want luxury, a large touch screen, sunroof, I'll drive it. The truck is STRICTLY FOR FUN LOL
I got the 8.4 screen with big knobs and controls. Engine and transmission been good no issues…
Thanks!
Love mine
Nice truck!
Looks cool as an option for a used truck in the future.
I love this truck
I was thinking of trading my 2014 Sport with every option except air suspension. (72,000 miles). Seeing the current insane prices made my decision easy.
I know the prices are insane I just watched a video and a guy paid 93k for a fully loaded tundra insane hard pass
Nolan, I think this truck really suits you.
Getting ready to get a Limited fully loaded out a 4 inch Lift.
Hey, I noticed your in Rockwall 😉 I drive on John King everyday haha
We test drove a Laramie last week. I know exactly what you mean when you say "wife approved". Mine was quite impressed with the Ram 1500.
Awesome
My wife loves the RAM, no doubt best vehicle. I have the Larmie absolutely amazing truck.
i wish they offer the night edition with the interior that you have on your car.
I have the same truck but with the ecodiesel. Love the features but the 12"display is not as flexible as I'd hoped. The back up camera is the top half of the screen and 1/3 of that top half is the surround view. In other words the backup camera is only 2/3 of the top half. The other gripe is head room. I don't have the sunroof but have the electric seat and at 6'3" I have zero room between the top of my head and the roof and I have to duck down to see stoplights. The drive train is also a disappointment, I traded a 21 Sierra 1500 with the 3.0 diesel and 10 spd transmission and compared to that setup the ram is ridiculously slow and course and the diesel sound is always present. The Sierra diesel was quite and surprisingly fast for a diesel...i mean really fast. The 8 speed ram is also very course compared to the 10 spd. If I could put the ram cab on the gmc diesel Powertrain you would have the perfect truck
We have a jeep compass 2022 and it has full of problems. Back up camera shuts down then it's very dark. Engine light is on so went to the dealer and they said the chip will come in around 6 months. Mind you, this is a brand new suv. 6 months later, we waited 6 months and brought the SUV in. When we drove off thdd same problem. No resolution so we called back and he said there's nothing we can do. I hate dodge!
For the first 2 months, Apple play and connectivity was glitchy. The devs needed time to catch up with phone updates. I love my console.
when u riding on the road, that left conner or right top can turn on the cool/heat/heated wheel. does not need full screen to turn on, half the time i dont bluetooth my phone
This is a gorgeous truck and I hope to own one in the future. And your cons are justified and reasonable, even so this one is on the wishlist.
Hope you get to own one too :)
The Limited has 4 corner air suspension as standard equipment instead of the coils.
You’re right. Total brain fart while I was talking about the coils. Regardless, it drives nice lol. Thanks!
@@PrimeAutotainment It does 😂
Expensive fix when they break down. Trust me I know. 😡😡😡😡😡😡
@@MrBdogg317 Your air ride or your truck in general broke down?
@@briandonald air ride
My 2022 Ram classic tradesman has broken down 3 times now with less than 5km driven 😑
No it hasn’t
Thanks for being honest about the display. I'm about to get a new RAM and I really like the look of 12" screen but I've been wondering wheter it can be trusted or not. Especially here in Finland where it might be -30 celsius or more in winter and -20 is very normal. I really doubt how well the display performs in changing conditions and year after year...
I have a 2021 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn V-8, 5.7 Hemi. I live in Mn, USA. Where it gets just as cold -20 to -30 Below Zero Fahrenheit. ( or -28.8 to -34.444 Celsius ) Zero Problems with it. Air ride, the power running boards, the 12 inch screen, Ect....
@@dirtyaussiegirl Check to see if you have a lemon law in Canada. We have one in the US and they get 3 chances to fix it in the first year then they have to buy it back.
No issues with the large screens for most . It most likely just needs a firmware update
No issues with my 2021 12 inch screen or transmission. Smooth as silk.
Nice truck. Only problem with this truck is it didn't have the panoramic moonroof
I think your gripes are justified, however, none of those gripes would prevent me from giving this truck a good look if I were in the market. As you said, the ride is quite comfortable and quiet.
Dude please stop crying its like that on the 4th gen too buy another truck
Really nice truck. The e torque is a little hokey. I wish they hadn’t done that. The 5.7 hemi is fine on its own. 👍
Que belleza que estilo de Camioneta ..... RAM es RAM
How can I reset the Infotainment System?
Greetings from Australia, as an fyi, this same truck is retailing in Australia for $140 thousand AUD or nearly $100 thousand USD. It comes off the factory floor is shipped to Australia where it is completely pulled apart and rebuilt into right hand drive. All manufacturers of full size US picks do this and refuse to build and supply direct to Australia, despite the demand being high. In Australia just about every household has a mid size pickup and want the full size. We are robbed blind.
Sounds like you should left hand drive
I’ve got a ‘22 Longhorn and the Uconnect can be great at times or not work at all. Very frustrating.
I have the 22 10th anniversary, I'm not a true truck guy but this rides like a luxury car. MPG is awful but that doesn't bother me. Modest distance driver I put roughly 125 dollars per week. It's worth it for me but my kids are grown and it's just my wife and I.
Wish the Limited was the 8.5” screen. Lots more physical controls, which I like (especially since I’m coming from a car that has all physical dials and stuff). I get that you CAN have an option with the 8.5” screen, but I haven’t seen it on a truck with the other options I want
Oh, and, the air suspension is a fairly big reason why I’m looking into the Limited trim. I was going for a Laramie, but
If you haven’t bought one yet, have you thought about building and ordering one online the way you like it?
I built my Challenger exactly how I wanted and I love it.
@@moparfan8680 fair enough. I was thinking about that
How reliable are these new model Rams?
My 2022 Laramie didn’t come with the box type storage under the rear seat. Had to buy the weather tech box which works fantastic but still 150.00 I shouldn’t have had to spend. And no tow hooks on the front which are standard on chevys
Mine has tow hooks
im thinking of a 2022 want a bigger cab have the 2013 100k miles like the gauge set up I can monitor temp, trans, temp, oil temp all on one gauge set up when im towing ,and like the huge #s to see what gear im in ,when I down shift ,looked at other trucks hard to ,cant see the transmission. gear number s im in realy are small
I have a 20 ram with the 12 screen. No issues with the older unconnect. I've heard that they are working out the bugs on the new system. I also have the Hemi the the mild hybrid. The transmission is perfect. Smooth and responsive. Never rough. I love this transmission. All in all I have no complaints. 😊
If you wanted, could you switch out the 12" dispay for a smaller display and have actually buttons for the seats? Bascially switch it back to the stanadrd configuration?
I’m not sure, I’d like to say you can since you can do the opposite.
Switch the 8.4 to 12 but idk about the other way.
You can, but the cost and time would make you think twice.
I have a 2017 Laramie Limited, 8.5" screen, long bed crew cab. Awesome vehicle, rides and handles beautifully. No issue with screen, transmission, or standard tailgate (I crafted a hitch-based step for easier bed access). The newer model is enticing, but honestly, I'm having a hard time justifying the "upgrade". There is no doubt, however, that new owners will love the Ram.
I like the Laramie
Was that a jogging stroller in the bed? What brand is that?
I remember back in the day we'd install stall speed converters in our transmissions..now that was some hard shifting
Laramie was my pick. Everything I needed and a little more without extras a didn’t need. Wish the 5.7 was a little more efficient and didn’t wanna wait to be year one on the hurricane engine
Laramie was my choice too! I have owned every pickup out there foreign and domestic. However, I have never owned a better full sized V-8 4 wheel drive truck than my 2019 Ram 1500. It is comfortable, powerful and very economical with in town mileage of a solid 18 mpg and 22 mpg highway while driving 80 mph!
Nolan WOW.
Can’t believe it doesn’t have a pano roof ?
How’s the gas price?
I'd imagine replacing a screen out of warranty is over 5,000.. that would be a shame. The 8inch is at least 1,500
I would choose the ram longhorn,my truck of truck from ram.👍🏽
My air ride failed and almost killed me and my family. It's great when it's working but be careful people with the air ride. It hates the cold as well.
I’d be more afraid of hemi tick, lifter failure and ac blowing which are common issue in the hemi that never got addressed.
Hemi tick is not just lifters it can be the exhaust bolt with both could happen 140000 miles
No problem with my blower at 142000 miles
Every vehicle will have some type of flaw or problem
I have had seven brand new Rams and never had any of the problems you are dreaming about….🙄
@@leedanielson7452 he's not dreaming, he's stating facts. Hemis like to eat lifters and the cam.
No hybrid or full electric - yet, but the word is that development is well underway and that RAM's version will far exceed what Ford and GM will offer especially for range and towing. Stay tuned!
Who wants that in a truck
Media center glitches?? NEVER had one dude.
Is the ride quality with those coils only on the limited? Or does the Laramie and big horn have them too?
They all have them
I have a 2022 Limited Longhorn, non e-Torque. The transmission is silky smooth. I'm wondering if the jerks you are describing are related to the e-Torque system. I drove a limited with e-Torque, and I preferred the standard gas version of the Hemi. Honestly these are some of the best transmissions made (for the Hemi's). My research indicates they are produced in Germany, and are put on luxury cars like Rolls Royce. Agree with your points though overall, and thanks for the great review. Love mine so far!
I have 1 2022 Bighorn with the V6 Etorque. I don't find the tranny to be harsh at all. In fact, I find the Etorque to be almost transparent in operation. While I can feel it kick in, its' very subtle (though it doesn't deliver as much torque as on the Hemi).
SO I agree with you on the tranny, but disagree with your comments on the Etorque.
And yes, I'm very happy with getting 22+mpg in mixed driving with the V6, and don't miss the power of the bigger V8 (I'm a pretty conservative driver). The truck has more than enough power to fit my needs, and will definitely get out of its own way.
If you get a crew cab you cannot get the longer bed anymore. Long Horn is the best in my opinion.
The 2022 rams have a newer Uconnect software that’s 1st gen. My 2021 Laramie 12” screen has no problems ever
So it’s not air suspension? It stays at one level? I thought limited came standard with air ride and not coil...
My 2021Ram Limited is loaded and air suspended etorque 5.7 Hemi 12in screen lost navigation cost me 100.00 works fine now only problem with 40 k miles !since I have 5yrs and 125 k bumper to bumper factory warranty no happy about that but best truck ever hands down .
Like the exterior color, interior trim. I’ll pass on the e-torque. I have a 2012 Ram pickup truck, wife approved, she’s a pickup truck girl.
I have a 2019 1500 with the split tailgate, it really limits what kind of tonneau over you can put on a truck, be warned.
Can you Please do a Nissan Altima and also the Ford escape Hybrid also the Acura MDX if you can Please do a my Mercedes Benz A class if you can
I’ve got videos for all of those here:

I’ll be getting an escape plug in hybrid soon too 👍
This truck is gorgeous, nothing to complain about. I will choose the Limited with the Hemi.
Hmmm I had to buy a new iPhone over my UConnect in my Jeep GC …..still do not know if it’s my phone or car……..we are so reliant on tech it’s sad and scary.
That’s a bummer! That’s true for sure, we really are.
I decided to level mine and put 35s on it and now it rides like a wagon
Just got my Rebel GT...computer shut down truck, then shut down like Hal from 2001 Space Odyssey.... dead after 1k miles. Dealer can't figure it out. So disappointed.
👍👍👍😍😍😍😍
I don't understand why the rear windows are not auto up/down and, especially in the Limited trim, the steering columm is still manually adjustable.
I'm a Limited Night Edition guy👌👍
What’s up King?? 👍
@@ramrider1453 ✌️😁👍👌
Same! Black on black all the way!
Pain in the ass to keep clean but when it's shined up good there's no better looking vehicle for 100 miles.
@@SliderFury1 I agree had a 20 Limited in black ⚫️ and now have the maximum steel Limited night Edition 😍
the new engine for tundra only gets 2 to 3 mpg more than the 5.7 hemi. not worth it, plus the turbo issues.
‘21 ram starting to be a pain ., tranny replaced cause of groove in pan mount slow leak now it’s rattling from the bell housing very irritating starting to
Hope it gets stolen and destroyed .. first n last ram ……
I wanted the tundra , but I hate the new bodies of the tundra now. These rams have my attention. I just don't kno if the brand is as good as Toyota!
jerky just like ford's 10 speed in the F150 at low speeds
Not even close , the trans is perfect
My 8-speed is smooth as butter.
If RAM comes out with a full hybrid, it’s over for the competition lol.
Dislikes for me...#1=sticky steering
#2=paid remote start (serious xm🤬)
Other than that...good truck brand
Sticky steering ? What? Lol and remote start is on the keyfob
I just got mine and hate the headlights yuck should have test drove at night stupid me! I miss the bright white lights of my chevy truck. Any fix to this??
I've always only owned a chevy this was my first switch and got home found out the stupid thing doesn't even have a trailer brake!!! And the salesman knew I would be hauling...would have been nice to be told my bighorn wouldn't be able to pull my horse trailer . And my payment makes me sick! Worse purchase I'm so bummed didn't know I should have done research first... I want my chevy truck back 😌
Sure
My wife says my ram 2500 rides good so no half ton for me
My 2021 TRX is loaded out and would never go back to anything, stop complaining
Great video. Looking into my first pickup truck. I like to keep my cars for 10 plus years, so I am looking for something reliable and easy to diy fix. The screen issue scares me. Seems like software needs an upgrade to resolve most issues.
You cant buy a new car or truck that is DIY anymore. You cant even change a headlight in most. They are designed to be user unfriendly and adding computers and screens just guarantees bugs, lag, and updates. Sounds like i am complaing, but im not. My next car will probably be a tesla or some kind of hybrid. Its just they way it is now.
Hate that junk collecting console..would rather have a bench seat..
F150 for life
Next to no one wants a hybrids.
Toyota isnt a full hybrid...
So let me get this straight. Your #2 dislike is the fact that they don't offer a hybrid for the Ram but, you prefer a V8 over a hybrid?? You can't have it both ways pal. make up your mind.
The dislikes are in no particular ranking…but it’s for those who would want a hybrid. I don’t do this video for myself…I do it so others are aware. Now that some others offer a hybrid or full EV, Ram has some catching up to do. But yes, I still prefer a V8 myself…but the option to choose what powertrain you want is ideal
$72000 holy sheet . How to lose 40k
Too bad it has no payload....
$72000 for this truck is absolutely Obscene That truck in reality is only worth half of that
I getcha.
However, the reality is that the truck is worth what the buyer is willing to pay. *I* wouldn't pay that much, but that's me.
Trucks are a major profit generator for all manufacturers.
Hybrid sucks bud na is the way too go especially long term ownership
Drama queen
Hybrids and electric are junk
Personal opinion: That's because they don't do hybrids right.
The right way (again, in my opinion) is using a constant speed diesel to power the generator, with no direct connection to the drive system from the diesel.
A constant speed diesel gives more than enough power, excellent mileage, and better reliability than a gas engine.
Only drawback I can see is the smell.
Don't give a $#!+ about Golf Cart or RC car powertrains.. Tesla is more than enough of that as is. Thanks
Go buy a Chevy or a Ford and leave Dodge alone
I do these videos on all brands…..
Fully Loaded? There goes the Payload. Buy a truck do to truck activities! Tow stuff, haul stuff! If you want luxury and heated seats get a sedan!
Or people can just do what they want with their own money, and maybe, just maybe, their truck needs aren't the same as yours.

Some of us have handicaps that don't allow for use of cars, but trucks, with easier ingress/egress are great.
Although, being in Phoenix, I don't need heated seats. 🙂
Why do most of you guys rely so heavily on wild hand and arm gesturing throughout your review ? It looks as though you think your audience doesn't understand English. It is so annoying that it is difficult to watch the entire review. Put your hands in your pockets and use your mouth and your brain. You look ridiculous.
And you’re the first person to complain about it…so it must not be that terrible.
@@PrimeAutotainment ok must be my problem, carry on
Lol, I’m sorry it’s excessive. Certainly not my intention
