- I take through the city streets of Austin, on the highway, accelerate through the gears, and take a close look inside, outside, and under the hood of this heavily updated 2025 Ram 1500 truck. Join me!

It's seems like all of the reviews I've seen, this tt6 is a winner! Everyone is raving about its power and smoothness.
They have had it in the Wagoneer for a couple years to perfect for the RAM debut.
Thank you for reviewing this engine from the perspective of the average truck buyer. Regardless of what some of haters want to believe, the vast majority of people who buy a truck and use it for work don’t care about the sound. The only reason why they buy the v8 is because of horsepower. The fact that the ecoboost outsells the 5.0 v8 almost 2:1 pretty much proves that power and overall capability are far more important than just how good it sounds. Now in regards to the muscle car segment, that’s a totally different story.
It’s about durability and longevity…
Why are people haters if they like what they like and don’t what they don’t? Instead of using little trendy comments, look at both sides a little.
I would wait at least 3 years to make sure they get all the bug’s out before buying
I really liked my Ecoboost. When I switched to RAM, I liked the V-8 but it wasn't as good as the Ecoboost IMO, so if the Hurricane is as good as they say, I think truck buyers won't miss the HEMI. Time will tell with this engine. I'm going to keep an eye on these Hurricanes for a couple of years and if they're reliable, I'll have no issue going to a Turbo V-6 when its time to trade in my RAM.
I had an Ecoboost F150 and it wasn't bad..... good low end torque although I experienced multiple engine problems. I much prefer the HEMI due to the smooth power delivery and excellent sound. Remember less moving parts = greater reliability.
@@bob57786 not necessarily especially with the Hemi Tick 😮. Rocker arms and lifter issues. Hopefully the Hurricane will be durable motor
@@oliverramclam6009 That's if you excessively idle the motor and don't change the oil. Have not had a single issue with my 2016 jeep hemi with 196k miles.
The moment you realize a Ram 1500 limited was that price just about 5 years ago.
An exceptional 3.0tt w/8sp ZF review. .. Well gawd damn. .. Shee-it ,,, the chassis is the scoop and rightfully so. .. An inline straight 6cyl w/ twin chargers (+ cooled exhaust manifold) ( -150lbs lighter weight than V8) coupled to a 8sp ZF, coil sprung rear axle with air bag assist.....
RAM's MY25 offering to the pickup market,,,, moves the needle. ..
Interestingly enough, speaking with one of the engineers, Doug Killian, he said there's only a 25 lb. difference czcams.com/video/f1EHgklLWTU/video.htmlsi=k8IU4pq2mkcvoFHs
@@viewsonvehicles +1.. Thanks, neg -150lbs was to good to be true. ..
Biggest issue is price. Ram has increased prices too much. Now smart buyers wait until the huge discounts.
Large price increases along with higher interest rates. No choice but to keep what you have until there is no choice.
Love to see you driving on the video on 71 around Bee Cave and Lakeway area
Great spot. I love Austin and the surround area.
We'll see how reliability and durability are years from now.
As with any motor. The difference for this is it was built to be a turbo and if you get the HO, it has a forged bottom end nd a bunch of other differences
Got ford beat 😂 by a mile but I’ll keep my TRX with 702 hp and 650 lb ft of torque. For a limited the hp and torque beats all other manufacturers. My issue is how long will it last ?
If they decide to offer an in-line 6 diesel engine, I’ll be interested. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are planning to do it.
Starting price 90 million lol, dam.
Let's see a French run company slowly shutting down dodge. We are watching the end of a once interesting company. Just retired from the auto service business and you better get the extended warranty or lease it. In about 80 to 120k miles you will be replacing turbos, which will probably cost you around six thousand bucks on average. Just remember you have to pull the cab on the new Tundra to access the turbos which is insane and you have to do an engine out to service the timing etc. on this wanna be BMW style engine, I believe. Nothing like compliant government garbage engines.
Who would pay 90k for an American car 🤔🤔. This is crazy 90k for a regular truck
Direct injection apparently 😞 gummy intakes spring to mind. Definitely waiting a few years for feedback.
Glad to see the power plug in the bed
This is the trim I'd get. Plus this trim looks like the new inline 6 should be in.
RAM. es. RAM
Getting rid of the work horse Hemi for a breaking down twin turbo six that uses more fuel???? Not sure about that move.
Is there floor storage like the old ram???
Yes, I've seen reviews where they have shown the floor storage.
I'm not in the market for a truck, however if I was it would be diesel or a big V8.
I used to be a big V8 lover too. I took my HEMI SRT to the strip and I was surprised on how many V6 and inline 6 engines dominated the scene. These straight 6 engines are no joke and they don't pull themselves apart like a V8 does.
@@onthethrottle7104 I'm happy for you. An engine is an air pump, more volume, more power. Use the same induction tuned to that motor and more cubes make more power unless it's just a poorly designed engine. Which are there in all configurations.
@@roddycreswell8613 Well you forgot about efficiency, the more volume of air that comes in and out at the most efficient pace is the winner. Weight is another factor. The V8 is super heavy, the aluminum straight 6 is very light. I'm still a huge V8 fan but these six cylinder engines can outpace them dollar for dollar. Also, most people drive slow and at a normal speed, you don't need a huge V8 for 95% of your driving. For the other 5% where you want to go fast or tow something the straight 6 is going to do the job perfectly. However, the V8 is going to be heavier and suck more gas around town for now good reason.
@@onthethrottle7104 good for you. You can badmouth V8s as much as you want. Just remember, that's all your doing is badmouthing something for whatever reason. If you don't like V8s I don't care, your not going to talk me into casting them aside. If I wanted a $100,000 car with a straight 6 I'd buy a bmw.
@@roddycreswell8613agreed. Why get a truck if it’s not a V8
2000 rpm @68😢🤦 Are we back to 1980?
What was fuel economy on both engines?
Not yet announced. I state exactly that about half way through the video: czcams.com/video/ZBtzzqKYfJU/video.htmlsi=0zEG1TwB9NoCcKj7&t=748
🎉👍💖👍🎉
Its not how it drives..its how does it last after 100k miles
It won't with me.
They will add a mid year v8 option before they go bankrupt.
Government won't let them. It's all about meeting the NHTSA CAFE numbers on paper. Blame the Obama/Biden administration, because they killed the V8.
Funny ...
Will not buy one no v8 an i do not like foreign junk for a motor a BMW volvo not my country
Beta testers. Get ready.
Motors has been out for almost 2 years
They test engines thoroughly. Most if not all issues are owner or supplier related.
The motor has been in the Jeep for two years. The transmission has been in many vehicles for several years. No Beta testing
Nope, I'll keep my V8 Rebel. I'm not plugging up a car or a truck. That E-torque was just a gimmick.
Just watch the minute ram doesn't start saleing these trucks they probably go back to V8s just watch
Ford hasbt gone back....
Watch it not happen
@@tinshield everyone is going to love it. Especially when you can add a tuner and make an extra 100hp. And an exhaust will add 40hp and dumb stuff like that. It will be a hit.
