Why The 2021 RAM 1500 Is On My Shopping List

- Should you put the RAM 1500 on your list? It's on mine. That said, I have specific preferences and needs in a new vehicle and with so many excellent truck options in America right now we're truly spoiled for choice. While it's not going to be the right fit for everyone, if you are looking for a solid V8 engine, an excellent ride, the best interior in the segment, and solid practical features, the RAM 1500 is the right truck for you. On the other hand, if you're looking for higher payloads, the latest towing tech, or the best small diesel, you'll find that in either the Chevy or the Ford.

Toyota should do what RAM does and offer the last-gen Tundra as a Tundra Classic or something and make it cheap for people who don't want gimmicks but a bulletproof V8.
I also love that RAM is doing Amber turn signal in the back. Even better with their duel amber turn signal design
Bigger issue then turn signals is Ram's lack of reliability and poor resale value.
@@James-il3tq Ram has better resale value than the f150 or the Chevy 1500 and all the Ram’s I know of have been pretty reliable.
@@James-il3tq Poor resale value? I bought a 2015 ram 6.7 Turbo diesel new in 2015 for 39,000, just sold it to a cadilac dealer for 37,000.
Ram 1500 and Ford 150 are where it’s at depending on what you want. Ram for luxury and ride quality. F-150 for innovation like the hybrid, electric or even hands free driving. I don’t know why anyone who isn’t some shameless Chevy fanboy would buy a Chevy. They’re always just playing catch up. Interior quality is just one example.. they’re the last to update their interior.
The RAM interior blows the competition out of the water.
So True my 2021 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn it's the best.
@@kevinvojta692limited longhorn?
It’s definitely the best looking exterior and interior truck
This updated version of Ram 1500 is most attractive, inside and out. The amber turn indicators are also a major plus. The air-ride suspension option is another major plus. Overall, this would be my choice in a half-ton p/u.
This vehicle is such a beast. My favorite truck and offroad vehicle. And that performance. Insane. Thanks Alex ! 👍👍
Best thorough review I have seen yet. We'll done. Ordered a Ram last week and cannot wait to step into my first truck.
I just bought a white 21 1500 Limited with the night appearance package. I absolutely love the truck and I get looks like I'm driving an exotic car.
love my 19 Limited, basically a luxury car without the luxury price
They sure look luxurious, and of course you're paying for the top trims. But honestly they realized people were buying a single car for work and just taking kids to school so they threw as much comfort as they could.
Being old enough to remember being taken here and there in gianormous American sedans, it's interesting that the fancy American pickup is its replacement. Those giant cabs are really comfortable. I don't need a truck but if I did I'd shop on price b/c it would be a 2nd car.
I have a 2010 Ram that's been fine but all these videos of these new Rams are really tempting me to upgrade.
Wish they had the option of the 6.4L Hemi on the 1500 and the ability to option a lower ride height so you can get in the bed easier and not need a ladder. This class has annoyingly lifted high ride heights. It would help loading, fuel economy, and handling.
I love the flat floor for the back seat. Tons of leg room. Except for when I get groceries. No hump back there to keep things from rolling all over!!
Put them in the front are back seat
there is a hook on the bottom of the back seat for hanging the bags.... but a storage system is better for sure. which is unfortunately only available with those higher trim optio?
It’s one of those old habits from my previous Ram. Open the rear driver side door, put groceries on floor. Get in and drive away. That massive storage unit between the driver and front passenger seats makes it hard to reach over and put them on the floor. First world problems…
Haha... but I'm still thinking about how it must feel to pretty much sit in the same vehicle you have had for years -- after deliberating between so many different vehicles!
You are so darn practical but I guess that's why I watch your channel, to see what I would have to live with... lol
Thanks Alex for your thorough review. I simply love it.
Earlier this year I traded my 2019 Grand Cherokee for a new vehicle. I wanted something that would be more convenient for hauling cargo like trash, gravel and kayaks. I test drove a Ram almost exactly like the truck in this video. I ended up with another grand cherokee. I'm still kicking myself for not getting the truck.
6:03 I agree with this. They've just started to offer the 6.4 in the Wrangler (although I feel that's unnecessary), and it would fit in the 1500, so I don't know why they wouldn't do it. Besides, the Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer will have this engine, and they're based on the 1500. Update: there's a new GT trim for the 1500, but unfortunately it still gets the 5.7 like the others. No significant performance upgrades there.
Between the Ram 1500 and F-150 I see no reason to get any of the GM trucks.
But, you're forgetting the Toyota Tundra in your list. The ALL new Tundra that is coming is going to be something special.
@@biz4twobiz463 Toyota should do what RAM does and offer the last-gen Tundra as a Tundra Classic or something and make it cheap for people who don't want gimmicks but a bulletproof V8.
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 ... nah, Toyota (unlike RAM) actually cares for the environment and our air quality. They know that the V8 is just a pollution engine that should be put to pasture. It's time to move on to better engines with better technologies. Plus, the EV is about to make all gasoline engines obsolete anyway. Look to the future...and remember the past.
GM trucks have a trailering information sticker on every truck that is specific to that truck, so you don't need to plug in a VIN to get the info. If the max tow rating isn't listed, just multiply the max hitch weight limit by 10 to get the max tow rating.
I love the look of the new ram trucks. Im currently awaiting arrival of a new Laramie. I chose the Southwest package mainly because I like the color matched bumpers. and the etorque
I ordered a Ram 1500 classic tradesman quad cab 4x4 v6 with lots of extras with the 6 ft 4 inch bed plenty of truck to tow my boat
Sayyyy, nice visual effect... rolling that trailer out 🤣🤣🤣
Really miss my 2016 ram. The most comfortable vehicle I've ever owned. I want another one
Great job as usual. But the trx has 702hp and 650 torques maybe u meant torque when you said 650 hp.
I'd be sticking with the Silverado/Sierra for two reasons. 1. The 6.2L engine with the 10 speed transmission. 2. As stated, GM is the best truck for towing technology. I tow and I love the various tow features, such as trailer tire pressure and temperature displayed on my infotainment screen, the downward looking camera view for lining up the hitch and coupler, and with it, the parking brake automatically engaging when the transmission is placed in Park. I also like the trailer light test feature, trailer profiles that keep track of accumulated mileage of each trailer and the trailer anti-theft feature that sets off the alarm when the trailer is unplugged from the 7 pin. And that's just to name a few.
Best looking half ton truck inside and out.
My mom recently purchases the Ram1500 Laramie with the v8 etoruqe engine and I feel really disappointed in the start-stop systems as well as the around-town driving feel.
Re: the Ridgeline's tailgate. It does actually have detents when you open the gate sideways. There is one at about 40% open and then full open. Those detents aren't incredibly strong and pronounced given the weight and inertia of the gate. It's easy for the gate to overpower those detents, especially if the truck's nose is pointed downhill.
Oh boy, I can wait to order a Ridgeline now, just be sure to include a beanie cap with a propeller on top to complete the image.
@@jimnevin763 Did you eat lead paint as a child or were you dropped on your head...repeatedly?
Sounds like a personal issue and trigger point 4 Jimmy
A month ago, I bought a Ram 1500 Bighorn quad cab. 2wd, 5.7 hemi. I am replacing a 2012 model with the same configuration but that one is an Express so this new one is a huge step up as far a features.
I live in an area where I don't need 4wd and I got the quad cab because I wanted the 6' 4" bed but not a truck that was too long. I never considered a Ford because their extended cab trucks still use the rearward opening doors instead of standard opening. That configuration makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to get into the back when parked in a tight parking spot. I carry my tools in the back seat so I have to be able to access them. I also didn't want a Chevy because I really don't like the design.
I just love this truck!
Driving comfort offered by the RAM1500 is just fantastic, couldn’t agree more…👍
I have the 2016 TurboDiesel... I love it, and chose it because I max out my payload with landscape materials often, and the pick up and ride remains consistent and smooth. However the fuel system and DEF system have turned out to be a BEAR, constantly glytches and resets. I will be looking to switch back to the standard gasoline v6
The Laramie quad cab 4X4 with the 6.5 ft truck bed and the diesel motor would be my selection if I were looking @ Ram for my next purchase. I do like the brown/tan interior of this particular truck.
Nice video and format. My list:
FORD F150
2022 Toyota Tundra (ALL new)
RAM 1500
GMC Sierra
Chevy - NA (Lol)
Alex - I own a 2019 Laramie CC that’s fully loaded with the off road group, premium everything, black sport kit, all stock. It had the V8 and I get up to 24mpg and average 18. It has 47k and has been superb in New England winters and rough country. Everyone loves it. It listed for $62k and I paid $46 new. It’s my first truck. I absolutely love it. I also own a 2019 Honda Accord 6spd sport turbo. Which is fun with my long commute to work. I’m practical most of the time and not brand loyal. My first American car and my first Asian car. I recommend either. The RAM is so comfortable and there’s nothing it won’t do. Can’t beat it in the winter.
Fun! I also have a 2020 Honda 2.0 6MT for commuting and love it - however. I found it’s so damn loud with tire noise and engine rpm when stretching the top end of 6th gear on NJ/PA rural highways…I miss my 2004 & 2012 Suburbans (both still on the road) even though the interior is certainly big enough. I want the latest safety features so looking at the Laramie for the 3-4 hour highway cruising I usually do with some other adults on board for college football games, family parties, etc. Haven’t owned a pickup yet, so thought I’d give it a go.
@@davidcarroll8735 Hi Dave, this was my first pickup too. Loving it. It’s a limo in the back and as comfortable and optioned as any Mercedes. Plus I find people get out of my way on I-95 and the Merrit :)
Another great video.I’m in the market for a full size truck and love the ram but I’m worried about reliability,recalls,and issues.what your recommendations ram1500,f150,Silverado 1500,Toyota tundra2022.
Thanks for your time? Reliability and fuel economy are the most important to me.
Thomas from Throttle house leased one and said pretty much the same things you've said.. I have to consider this.
Alcantara hard to clean? Not in my experience, it's been one of the most durable unwavering interior fabrics I've ever seen. It's fantastic..
I would get the RAM over the other two. Subjectively, it looks better to me. Objectively, it rides and handles better. I can't do truck, but if I ever did, this would be my choice.
Less chrome. Otherwise, total winner. I would opt for the V6 diesel. Diesel is cheaper here in Seattle.
Alex, Long live 8 foot pickup beds!!
I am looking for the 8 foot bed, so my options are limited. You did not say much about the Ram 1500 Classic so i assume it is outdated in several ways. What parts of the F150 are aluminum? t sounds like the bed is, in which case a liner of a tougher type may be important. I know nothing about those. As for towing, I do not have a good location to park a trailer.
I have liked your review style and comparisons for years. I am glad that nothing served by any Cafes has changed your excellent standards.
I owned two fourth gen Rams, a 2016 Big Horn and 2019 4th gen. Then I trade in the 2019 Ram 4th gen for a 22' chevy LT 2.7 With A Digital Dash and that truck was Perfect, do i thought. Got a big dent and had to trade it in..... Then i got a 22' Hemi Etorque Big Horn because of all the Rebates and low interest rates Chrystler was offering as a promotion for buying a 22' Ram Big Horn. And we love it, best vehicle i have ever owned. Couldn't be happier with my purchase, well i wish i would of gotten the push button lock on door, but i will live.
If Alex says it’s good it has to be. Is there a cabin noise measurement?
My brother has a 2021 limited ram and odd how one of grab handles just completely lacked leather while other 3 had it. He never sat in back seat until I pointed it out.
lol good ole union assembly line workers
I am waiting for Tundra for sure. It’s not often they make an update.
To me the Tundra feels like a boat, and I'm tired of Toyota outdated interior for the kind of money they're charging.
It’s looking like up to a 1.5 year wait for 2022 tundras 😡
I like all the vehicles you compared. I like the Ram with eTorque but alas we have to wait for these to become used vehicles so we can maximize our truck buying dollars.
Did you move? I remember one of the deciding factors why you didn’t get a pickup last time was because of the size and maneuverability compared to an SUV. Great video
Nah, this was filmed before he decided on the second Durango, and one of the biggest reasons why was the size, as you mentioned.
@@fireteam_ I’m talking about the first Durango that video
Thank you for the disclaimer upfront. #TimeWarp
2022 Ram 1500 limited 6'4" bed with Ecodiesel and 33 gallon tank.
Range, luxury, tuneability. I am going stage 2 with full bolt ons, expecting 300 hp 500 tq at the WHEELS with the tune and hardware. With partial emissions delete, I'll be at 30mpg on the highway. It'll be my family of 4 hauler, I'll be towing my horse trailer and camper trailer.
Does the chip nullify the warranty? Also, what hardware is needed and any rough idea on 0-60? (Just curious)
@@chestophercolumbo4561 supposedly bench flashing is undetectable by the dealer or corporate but I'm buying a spare ECM just incase. The new EGR are electronically disabled for the new third gen.
@@chestophercolumbo4561 intercooler, high flow chatted downpipe, modified air intake/ CAI. About $1500 in parts.

@@joshuakerstein9573 wow, that's great!

For those that considering getting this truck keep in mind that the real MPG will not be closed to what Ram claims. I drive daily a 2022 Ram Leramie 4x4 and my average is 15mpg. Highway however is very good, even with 4 adults and a full bed, I do average 24mpg. Nonetheless best truck I ever had. Alex, great review like always. I hope to see more about the work you do in your ranch.
Do you run stock tires?
@@benjaminhollar7462 - currently yes. I will be installing a lift kit and 35’s and that’s gonna murder my MPG even more
It suits you!
Its a Nice Truck Alex! I like it
the 6.4 is a bored out 5.7. The issue with it as a workhorse engine is that it took what is a strong block (the 5.7) and made the block very thin and light while adding a lot of power to it (srt 392/6.4). What they did for the heavy duty trucks was redesign the engine and make it all iron and no aluminum and added some other reinforcements, as well as significantly detuning it to 410hp and 429ft-lbs of torque. The extra displacement gave it better low end torque, vs the 5.7 which has to rev out a little more to get good torque, but they completely gimped it at the high end to keep it from exploding. The extra weight of the iron block and marginal on paper performance bump just wouldn't be worth it in the ram 1500, mainly due to fuel economy but also weight balance. As for the srt 392, I think it should of been the base engine in the trx (a lighter trx jumps better, gets double digit mpg and has better weight balance) and it should of been an option in the longhorn and limited trims to compete with the 3.5 ecoboost and 6.2 ecotech. I think they were just afraid to put it in the ram 1500 due to its cooling based towing restrictions, as about 9k is as high as it would go before it would run into thermal issues. For the trx that's fine because it's way lower, but for the limited and longhorn, people would probably be pissed hearing their payload AND towing went DOWN because they got the more powerful engine.
Edit: the GM trucks have all the towing/payload info for the specific truck on a sticker in the door, which is infinitely more useful than being on the website, granted the website is better than what ford, toyota and nissan offer which is nothing
Great review as always. This review has certainly help me to make a decision to get a Ram 1500, most likely on the Laramie trim. I'd probably skip the 4X4 since I'll be driving in the city and only a few long trips a year for camping.
Eric, based on the usage you describe an SUV seem more suited for you? Alex did not mention that Ram trucks are notoriously unreliable (see Consumer reports). With bad gas mileage around the city and difficulty parking....some things to consider. If you like Toyota products I would take a look at the Highlander.
I bet you buy a blue Durango 6.4 Hemi …. Just have a gut feeling
I wonder....
In my opinion, I think the massage seats and the comfort level are awful in the Ford, especially on long trips! My back prefers more cushion not killer lumbar support! I actually prefer the seats in the lower end model of Ram then the Limited model! I also like the air ride over normal suspension! I also hate the auto shut off feature on any vehicle and Ram should get rid of the rotary gear shifter! Alex, can't you down shift to get better engine braking along with exhaust brake?
Ram all the way best interior an stylish more to me
The problem is that they are rust buckets.... In a couple years due to lack of rust protection...
I live in Canada and I have a 2020 ram 1500 Sport model it's the same as the Laramie without the chrome.
If I were to shop again I would have a 1500 Longhorn with the 392 rear end.
It has the best creature comforts and you are right Alex in the quality of the interior finish it's so much better than the competition.
Good show Alex.
Tough decision, Alex. If I went for a pickup, though, it'd definitely be a Ram
I think you left the F150 Lightning out of discussion in several relevant contexts. Granted it's not available yet, but it's on the horizon.
I have the crew cab with 6'4" bed and 8 foot lumber does NOT stick out past the tailgate so I don't quite get what you're saying.
i prefer fords f series but my world is different. on that note rebels are very popular around here for people who use em for casual use.
I have been pleading with FCA for the 6.4 V8. I don't understand why it's not a option..
Wow what a great video
Thought you already purchased the Durango to replace the 2018 model. Not looking at the Raptor?
I am apparently the odd man out with the Trailboss here lol. I think Rams are nice and considered all options with test drives on all twice before deciding which 1/2 ton was my favorite. In 2014 I chose the F150 since the Ram I test drove had a broken mirror and at the time Chevy was not desirable at all to me. In 2020 I desired a more rugged truck so the choices were Ford Raptor, Ram Rebel, Chevy Trailboss, Tundra TRD pro. GMC AT4. While the Ford is far superior, my wallet is not so Raptor was out and Tundra with awful gas mileage and dated designed had me begging for more also was priced high. Rebel and Trailboss were neck and neck and since I have six in my family that available bench seat option in the boss made it an easy choice. With 10k off MSRP and a generous trade by the Chevy dealer It made it all easy for me. I paid 42K and though it’s pretty basic I do have heated steering wheel and seats. I also take in to account resell value and reliability and historically speaking Chrysler products have not really been high on those charts. Subjectively speaking, my opinion, which apparently isn’t shared by most, is the Trailboss is the best looking truck on the road, at least until the 2022 Tundra drops with its much improved everything. I feel like the comfort and handling and ride is fantastic. Gas mileage is good around 18-19 overall. Plenty of power with 5.3 liter matched to 10 sod trans. Was very affordable. Resell is good and right now it’s worth 58k if you can believe that. Reliability feels above average which is acceptable. All the GM vehicles I’ve ever had have been reliable and this one really don’t have many bells and whistles. Sorry for the long comment. Just wanted to share my experience as a truck lover and buyer. With all that said when it comes to a truck in America I really don’t believe there is a bad choice available especially with the big 3.
My 21 gmc and silverados feel alot more durable than my 21 ram......AC power, doors, knobs, just everything on my Ram feels like it's going to fall apart....it hasn't just feels like it will.....has a pretty skin over cheap quality is best way to describe it.......yeah GM resale is much better with lot less tech
I have a warranty which is why I took a chance.....these are just honest opinions from lifetime truck owner since the 80s....
I feel like Ram is for new gen of SUV owners converting to trucks....I could never get comfortable in my 21 GMC or Silverado which is why I switched... after owning both though Ram just feels cheaper even though I am in higher trim and more comfortable....
I’ve heard that Nissan is bringing back the Cummins for 2022, does anyone else know about this?
How did you get a Laramie with the advanced safety group? In the Pacific Northwest it's only available on the limiteds
It’s available in all trims above the BigHorn/LongHorn
You mispoke on the TRX HP Alex. 702 HP 650 FT pounds of torque.
If I Recall Correctly (IIRC) Alex has a Rivian R1T on pre-order - wondering why he is now not planning to buy the Rivian instead of a RAM
lol the Rivian, along with the other dozen of startup EV makers, is a pipe dream. Tesla owns the market & more established brands like Hyundai are coming to market. Those smaller upstarts simply cannot compete with the sheer size of those bigger names.
IMHO, a two door pickup with an eight foot bed is not your typical multi-use daily driver, and is more of a purpose built vehicle intended for commercial duty. As such, it makes more sense that people in search of that particular configuration would be more inclined to look at three quarter and one ton pick-ups that can haul more in the bed, and take more of a beating.
Does the 5.7 Hemi still have lifter failures?
Favorite Full Size Pick Ups:
Toyota Tundra
Dodge Ram F1500
Ford F150
Nissan Titan
Towing SUV’s? Toyota 4Runner 😂
Maybe a Honda Pilot or Toyota Highlander. Maybe even a Honda Ridgeline or Toyota Tacoma just for the bed
RAM looks great too bad im broke
How much would this package cost?
@@alanwilliams7556 like $55k
I like the gas mileage of the F-150, the styling, and the interior of the RAM. Okay, I drive 58 miles a day, the F-150 is for me!
I thought FCA was dead and it's now under the Stellantis brand name.
Hi, out of curiosity. Did you end up buying RAM 1500? If yes what trim did you get? Thank you.
Have you ever had someone scrape your gopro off the side of your vehicle? lmao
So expensive :(.
Got a well equipped 2021 f150 XLT sport fx4 for way less
Did Ram fix the air suspension problems? Lots of complaints out there about the compressor not working in cold climates over the last few years.
-20 for two weeks here in Maine this past winter. No issues.
Nice. I saw reports of the airbags not inflating at all when really cold and the truck was almost riding on the bump stops.
I’m up against this myself, needing to occassionally tow 7000-8000 lbs, which is a hard weight to find a match for, as you know. My solution was to buy a $1000 shitbox chevy van, and a Bolt EV. It’s kinda dumb to try to find one vehicle for every purpose, and then pay $60 grand for the privilege.
Alex thanks for the 8' bed opinion. I am with you 100% I want the versatility of the 8' bed. From cargo to campers. That's what you need.
You have to understand why make something that doesn't move?
They invest money to make that truck they don't make money from them.
Let me know how much the tune up bill will be SMH 16 sparks plugs that's crazy
I think the spark plug replacement interval is 100,000 miles, so the extra few dollars in spark plugs isn't really significant in terms of TCO.
@@blautens my people is a master mechanic he just did a tune up on one the the other day the ram has 16 sparks plugs also that means instead of buying one ignition coil when it fails now you have to buy two coils which means more money if you don't know how to due a tune up the dealership will want at least a thousand dollars
When you have to design a engine with double the spark plugs to make power there a serious flaw with that engine design
Anyone know what truck is the best for the street? Not really for towing. I’m also looking to lower it
Surely not the 2022 ram 1500 Lonestar 3.6 etorque low mpg truck. Worst thing is it is so rough riding feel every bump in the road. The etorque is jumpy everytime you take you're foot off the brake. NO BUENO!
Get the truck! You know you want it!
Wait I’m confused? I thought you already ordered a new Durango SRT?
I thought he already chose the new durango?
Me too. I’m confused
Did you see the note? This video got lost in the edit queue, also... Durango video coming soon...
Oopsie! Sorry! Great video though😋
GM actually lists all their payload and tow ratings on door sticker for each specific truck......open the door and its all right there. The best system in the industry
If your towing 8-9k get a 2500.....unless it's a rare occurrence a half ton is sketchy towing anything up to maximum capacity.....a 2500 won't even feel it
You want a 6.4 liter V8 you have to get a 3/4 ton or a 1 ton.
Is there not a 6ft 6 bed option like the other 2 have
6ft 4 yes
The popularity of tiny truck beds is very confusing to me. I use an eight foot bed when doing runs to the dump or yard waste facility; I would lose my mind with a tiny bed. As Alex said, may as well get a trailer! At least then, I could get a dumper trailer.
I agree. Unless it's *CONSTANTLY* towing, I don't understand a truck with anything shorter than an 8ft bed. I have an easier time putting 8' 2x4's in my Prius with the seats folded down than my neighbor can with a Nissan Frontier.
Everyone has different wants or needs. What may not make sense to you, makes a lot of sense to someone else.
@@ALMX5DP Oh, well of course. I see trucks going around with nothing in them all the time. Why get an eight food bed when you never use the bed?
@@ALMX5DP While that is certainly true, I don't think people *really* consider the use case of the smaller bed when buying a truck like this. They want it to look good, have decent comfort & power, fit the whole family inside on occasion & keep them perpetually broke with payments they can "afford".
@@JakeRoot in a similar vein, I see sports cars driving slowly lots of times, hybrids driving like banshees wasting energy, sedans with only a driver, Jeeps that don’t appear to have gone offroad ever, etc.
People are just irrational and emotional beasts.
Less than 1200 lbs of payload and no moonroof?! Ram and Toyota always seem to have ridiculously low payload capacity. My 2019 Silverado 1500 LTZ 4x4 is pretty well equipped, including a moonroof, and it has 1910 lbs of payload capacity.
OMG, another FCA vehicle on ur channel
How much this model cost?
Alex, reliability is prolly not an issue for you as you won't keep this truck beyond its warranty - is that correct?
That makes zero sense, considering he's owned several FCA vehicles over the last 5-7 years. Ram scores higher than all but the ancient Tundra in reliability.
Did I hit a raw nerve?
Was I asking YOU?
Anyways, he prolly doesn't keep them too long for that to be an issue
Reliability is a tricky subject, I am generally "ok" with lower reliability in some areas *if* total ownership costs are lower. To be honest, general reliability for key systems is pretty similar between GM, Ford and RAM. Tundra may be more reliable, but the fuel economy and pricing would make it more expensive in the long run,.
Having had a lemon Ford 150, your time and mental health far exceed the cost benefit of buying a vehicle with low reliability. I’ll buy the gas for the Toyota or wait for the revamp.
Please bring back 8ft bed!
After multiple videos saying you can't use a truck since it's too big, you want a truck now
Please put your height and weight somewhere where people can find it. In "About" section? So when you're checking out these vehicles we can "see" just how much room or lack of room there is in relation to ourselves.
Ram 1500 is too costly with added safety features that are standard on the F-150. Waiting to see the new Tundra!
