I love my Ram, but for me, no way would that Ram be worth $17k more than that GMC!
Agreed. I have a Ram 2500 also but I’d have gone Chevy if this was the case when I purchased mine
I agree with both of you. I have a rebel, love it, but I'm looking at HD and Chevy or GMC is the way I'm leaning.
I’ve had 7.3, 6.0, 6.4 and 6.7 Fords, 5.9 and 6.7 Cummins and have has my first Duramax for 2 months. I looked at all of the brands when I bought this one and it was the best value for the money. Was a little nervous at first since I’ve never had one but wow, I’m at 1800 miles now and love it more every time I drive it.
@@blank0fff I have always been a ford guy and I planned on a Ram when I bought my 22 chevy HD. The ram tradesmen was $9500 more than my custom. I absolutely love my chevy I would have never dreamed I would like it this much. My youngest son liked it enough he bought a gas chevy HD. They are great trucks
As a guy who sells these you definitely can’t disregard a 10 speed over a 6 speed, it’s what does ram horribly. That comes from customers personal experience aswell
I have been in Ford, Ram and now 2024 GMC Denali and the only thing I can say is GM is the best all around.The Duramax with the 10 Speed it’s amazing.
honestly, there's no serious differences with any of the HD diesel engines other than transmissions and specsheet fluff. the main problem is the emissions systems on all of them
@sly9263 …and the RAM is a 6 cylinder. Sorry but there’s just something emasculating about driving a 6 cylinder. 😁
@@scottmichaels6854 lol idk, I feel like it's emasculating to feel that the amount of cylinders in your engine affects your self perception of masculinity (no offense)
@@scottmichaels6854 also that's an inline 6 diesel engine... the same as what tractor trailers use. v8 diesels are the oddball.
@@scottmichaels6854 Straight 6s are the best engines on the road.
This was an extremely well-done video. Sticker shock on the Ram but I like what they offer. I still prefer a manual transmission but from what I am told one will not ever be made again. This truck would work well for me. Thank you.
I bought a '24 Denali about a month ago. My only real gripes (and they're nitpicky) are the column shifter blocks some critical parts of the center display when in Drive, and the wiper control is really lame. You have to hunt for it when you need it quickly (twist on the left stalk). Looks? GMC all the way!
100% agree the RAM has been better since 2019. I love my 2021 Ram power wagon 2500 75th Molten Orange limited edition truck.
Great comparison ,love the video!
I had a 2014 Ram 2500 and traded for a 2016 Denali 2500. I can tell you the GMC IFS is not as stable on rough roads when towing heavy as the Ram solid axle.
In my experience it is exactly the opposite…. Had a 2017 Ram and a 2020 f350 and on the same road same rough patch I experienced almost out of control feeling close to the death wobble in both of those trucks … and in the 2019 chevy 3500 and the new 2024 chevy ithey took that same rough patch stable as a rock pulling the same loaded 36’ gooseneck with hydraulic dovetail.
I just bought a 23 Ram 3500 Limited HO SRW Longbed. It only makes sense if you order with a dealer offering discounts…. My MSRP was 108k, got it for 92. I would have never paid MSRP for it.
$92,000 for a RAM? 🤣🤣🤣
Great video JB. Love nerding out in the details. Still can't stomach that price jump in the RAM.
I have had a 2011 F-350 and a 2018 GMC 2500 Denali. I'm shopping now for my next truck and fully intended on getting a Ram. But they are way more than the comparable Ford and GMC. It's unreal.
I'm looking to buy a new truck to pull my 5th wheel. I really like both trucks. The RAM is slightly better in my opinion.
That’s funny
Ram has less front and rear legroom and less shoulder room. Smaller beds, ancient transmissions and the cad is from 2009 and in crosswinds you will understand what’s that’s not a good thing. On top of the near $20k higher price they struggle more to climb grades because of the transmissions. All these things put together explains why rams sales are down big time this year.
@satansleftnut25 thanks for the good info. I did like the GMC 2500. In your opinion would it match up well with a 35' 10k GVWR 5TH wheel? I want to stay with gas. Only pulling short distance. Like less then 200 miles at a time maybe 2 times a Year. I appreciate any input you offer.
@@mad125100 I actually owned 2 gas Chevy 2500 both 2022 crew cab long bed put 80k miles on between both trucks. Never had a single issue not even an engine light. Trucks performed well once towed a 10k trailer with 2500lbs of steel in the bed at 80mph for 100miles only thing I didn’t like about them was the fuel mileage and the 6 speed transmission. Not that the transmission was bad just needed more gears to stay in the power. In 2024 GM changed that with the 10 speed. I averaged 11-12mpg unloaded but I have a lead foot. 5-6mpg with a trailer. I had a gas ram 2500 from 2016 the unloaded mileage was about 10mpg same with a trailer. Also had an 18 Cummins I put 110k miles on. I’ll never have another ram.
@satansleftnut25 thanks for the info. I think I'm sold on GM.
Goodness may never get rid of my 2018 Ram 3500 srw. Truck snickered for 74 and paid 64k. Just hit 50k miles so I can live with the 8.4” screen and keep my money. I did look at a 24 GMC AT4 but as soon as I put it in gear I noticed it blocked the center cluster, also why are the cup holders on the passenger side.
I laughed when they offered me 45k and no discount on theirs. Then I really noticed how nice the seats are in the Ram.
When I go to GMC dealerships they have rows of used Rams for sale..all trade-ins. The average truck buyer does not tow on a daily basis. They want a comfortable ride and a clean look. The RAM may be more functional, but the GMC looks, 10 speed, and independent front end is what “most” truck buyers want. And let’s be honest, most women would pick the GMC over the Dodge and yes that does matter to some. And let’s talk about dependability. The Allison will out last the Rams transmission. Doesn’t matter how great the engine is if the transmission goes out. Last, price. RAMs way overpriced.
Ram definitely has the better engine but needs to update the transmission to at least an eight speed and bigger cab. Their crew cab size has not been updated in years and ford and gmc is out doing ram at inside cab space. Also Ram and ford needs to increase the gvw like gmc to increase their payload capacity
JB, please find a 2500 LTZ Sport to review. PLEASEEEEE And we need to see the slate grey/thunderstorm grey paint NOW!!!! :)
Besides, Ford and GM/Cheby can not touch the exhaust brake Ram has specially on a 10 - 15% going down grade on a winding road towing 20k plus big girl 5th wheel toy hauler. Thank you Mexican fellas for building us a good solid truck. Guts...Glory...RAM!
Was a huge Ram fan last one I owned was a 2017 limited 3500 had a 15’ a 11’.a 08’ and a 99’ all ram Cummins My 2023 GMC and my 2024 Chevy both have better exhaust brakes, ride way better tow better and get better mileage than the rams I owned. Even the tuned and deleted rams wouldn’t keep up. 10 speed tranny is a game changer but the Duramax is truly underrated and under appreciated.
Longhorn is always the best trim level
Ram fanboys still gonna say their trucks the best even after this 😂
That GMC wiped the floor with that ram.
How?
@@XploreAzGM has 6 inches over the ram bed bigger reserve fuel tank for the bed bigger tool box and still have more bed space left over the interior is night and day you can see how the rams cab is outdated all the buttons on the door panel are tiny because the cab is from 2010 the back seats are about 4-5 inches smaller it’s just a smaller truck compared to ford and GM not to mention ram has incredibly trash payload compared to the competition I really don’t understand how people can support a company that hasn’t made any real changes to the truck that actually matter besides the somewhat fancy interior.
@@XploreAzThe ram also cost 17k more for a truck that’s from 2010 just wrap your brain around that.
I’ll also add that the Ram transmissions have always had trouble and the interior may look fancy, but as I started looking closely too many parts are really cheap… ie the sunroof shade was flimsy and thin. JMHO
@@Alexander-fr1kkpretty much all dual panel sunroof shades are thinner like that. They aren’t like the small sunroofs. Does GM even offer a dual panel moonroof? That’s a win for Ram if not
I love my Dodge Ram!!! The Cummins is a true diesel engine, a powerhouse!!!
I have owned 4 diesel "Rams" 2500 4x4's since 1997. I'm currently in a 2018 3500 Laramie 4x4. My buddy just bought a 2024 GMC AT4X 6.2L gasser. $88K!
That GMC AT4x truck is the nicest truck I have ever seen. Massage seats! Stereo in the tailgate! Factory lift! The only problem I saw was that it was a 1500..... C'Mon man.
Let’s just say your wife’s not with you and you are towing a trailer🎉 best line a UA-camr has ever said in history😂 also great video
I hate those OEM firestones also
Ram 107k and the cheapest tires money can buy. Gmc Chevy Michelin’s and less money. Ram is not even proud of their trucks or they would give them some better shoes!
With the evolution of Vehicles and the “Big 3” competing , the tide always turns.
Cummins was all the Rage and left Ford and Chevy to play catch-up..
Ford tries to Stay up to date and GM hit a Home Run with the Duramax and Allison Combo ..
Most of us don’t really need a Diesel but we want em … Buy what you like and enjoy it .
The Ram HD's definitely have its good points, but overall I'd still rather the GMC for sure.
Good video JB. I really like the looks of both trucks. I would be happy to drive either. Judging by some of the comments the GM fanboys seem to be narrow minded. To say the Ram is outdated & junk is just not very educated. I have a 21 Limited Longhorn MegaCab with the HO Cummins & Aisin. I use it as a daily driver & to tow our 40’ fifth wheel. Does great at both. Transmission is smooth once you learn it & it learns you. Love the growl of the Cummins & the untouchable exhaust break. Tremendous room for me, 6’3” 265 & incredible room in the back for passengers. The factory air smooths out ride quality which is incredible on the highway. Can be a little jarring on back roads. Love the air for towing. You can see it adjust as you raise to support legs of the trailer. If I could afford both trucks I’d own both. But for me it comes down to the look of that Ram front end, the Cummins & the safety of the exhaust break. And the Ram ltd LH definitely has the best interior of HD trucks
Illuminated white RAM grille emblem 🤌
Still think Ram needs the Gen 5 cab and a longer short box.
That Cummins needs to be in front of a 8spd. Come on Dodge let’s get it done. I’m still driving my 2005 2500 Quad Cab 4x4 because I don’t think you have made a better truck sense then.
The in-line 6 is objectively better balanced. The power concaves are objectively better. The airbags may be objectively better, but are sometimes prone to failure. The exhaust brake is objectively stronger.
Everything else you said about the Ram was strong opinion! You said “I don’t care what you think, this console is better”… this is only one of many subjective opinions you offered. That’s not super helpful besides letting everyone know which things you like better. It’s better when you actually compare things, not only on one trip, but in several different ways.
You did compliment some objectively better features on the other truck, but kept heaping praise on the Ram to what, help people make informed decisions?
Love you and your content, but argh!
Diesel pick-up is not recommended in the Gulf Region. Gas Patrol GMC
Great job JB👊🏽
Is the 2024 GMC 6.6L Gas better than the 2024 Ram 2500 6.4L Gas?
I think my sport edition has that midnight beat! Wish I could attach a picture!
With the 10 speed transmission a 3.42 rear gear is all that you need.
Very well done!
Great video!!!
I will drive a GMC until my last breath. I love my 2023 dually.
Man GMC Sierra & Silverado shuted up Ram & Ford F50's
GMC Denali has a gas engine option. Ram Limited does not. GMC Denali has a regular cab, double cab, and crew cab options - each one with short or long bed. Ram Limited only has the crew cab option (short or long bed).
$17k more, for that? Come on JB get real lol. Ram has took the crown from Ford in absurdity in trucks. They’re asking the most money for basically a 2010 model truck lol. They are 2 generations behind minimum.
Nice video JB, I’m not sure if it’s true but I’ve been told that Ram dealers are back to giving big discounts. Do you know if that’s true? $107k is ridiculous compared to the GM and I have a 2021 Limited Mega Can HO Midnight E.
Jerry Ulm in Tampa was offering $10k discounts last time I looked.
Well done video.
GM is bigger and a better Truck!
107 thousand 😮
Can’t believe they are still using the crappy Firestone Transforce tires! My 2013 had them, and I think they are one of the worst tires I’ve had on any of my trucks. They also look bad too. Maybe that’s just my experience though. So if you don’t like the tires, then you have to drop another $1500 on top of the overpricing of the design that looks similar to my 11 year old truck 😬
The second and third best trucks.
say you dont know what a harmonic balancer is without saying you dont know what a harmonic balancer is....
Isn’t the Alison just in name only? I thought GMC just licensed the name. It’s not designed by Alison right?
It was tested and validated by Allison before they put their name on it, but yes, it’s built by GM.
Until Ram gets away from the 6 speed it will never compare and BTW as a Ram owner the Fiat junk that the Ram is cobbled together with is ridiculously unreliable! Cummins is no longer Cummins its Fiat and thats why I have all GM products now. Best looking? Well hard to see it inside the dealership repair bays. Interior may be "pretty" but thin sub par materials. Independent front light years ahead!....and link coil rear on a heavy duty truck for towing!? Duramax Exhaust Brake is actually just as good if not better than the ram when using cruise control. Then there was the Price. C'mon man!
JUST A DENALI 😅 MY 2024 IS AMAZING
Sit down Ram. You are nice but you can't compare.
If the Ram was the same price it'd be a tough decision. Please tell me there you see $17k more worth of truck?
GM has narrowed the look and feel of their interiors but RAM is still ahead (what is Ford doing besides nothing), way ahead. Looking at the Denali you have in the video, the wheels, they really caught my attention and not in a good way. I know it is subjective but really, the wheels look like something off a circus clown car. Am I the only one thinking that?
As far as the engines, they are so close in power (Ford included) it would not influence my decision. What would really influence my decision is the cost of ownership over time and file milage. I tow under 17K pounds.
In regards to looks GM looks 1000x better
I ordered a FULLY LOADED 2024 Laramie 3500 HO DRW should arrive around late October and window sticker online says $107k 😩
They say that one is born every minute. $107K? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am sorry
Is cool… dealer sign paper and promised I will keep price of $102k from when I ordered, so let’s see if they keep their word. And hopefully some incentives come available
Agree, Ram Limited is still the nicest interior. But, the Ford Powerstroke with the 10 spd is definitely the best all-around diesel on the market.
Expect for the piece of junk CP4 fuel pump that can disintegrate with no notice and destroy your engine. GM got rid of that POS in 2016 and RAM finally stopped using it in 2020. Ford is still using that pile of junk. It’s no surprise that the CEO of Ford came out last year and said that it would take a long time to fix the quality control issues that Ford has ignored for years.
The GMC, hands down, has the best looking front end. I looked at all three and it came down to GMC and Ram and the Ram transmission and too many cheap interior parts (sunroof shade) made me lean towards the GMC.
I bought a '24 GMC AT4 2500 with the Duramax. I will say the GMC is not nearly as nice as my '22 Ram was, but the price difference made it a way better value. I did hear that GM will be or just did raise prices on the '24 model trucks. All of these trucks are over priced, but Ram and Ford have lost their minds.
Seats still stiff as a board? I have a 20 Denali 2500 and they are horribly hard.
Yeah, I guess You could say at the very top trim levels, Ram might be a little better. But I would argue, that for Us Average Joes, that will probably buy a lower trim level. I respectfully disagree. I could literally buy one trim package higher, (LTZ loaded), than the Ram Bighorn for almost the same price. The payload on the GM was higher, almost 4000lbs. Let’s not even talk about what a joke the Ram 2500’s are when it comes to payload. Now I love the Cummins engines too, but an engine isn’t much without a transmission, and unless You’re a Hotshot Trucker, that tows everyday, the GM and Ford 10 speed transmissions are a much better tool, for all-around drivability. The standard box on the Ram is the smallest in segment. I do use My truck to haul things, and with a crew cab, a long box really makes in-town driving/parking a pain. The GM is a good compromise with Their longer standard box. With those standard box vehicles, the GM has a larger fuel tank and DEF tank, not much larger, but larger. I think You’re just trying to stir the pot, and get Your post count up!
Thank you
I don’t get it, somehow the ram just makes every other interior look cheap, especially when we’re talking Longhorn Limited.. It’s the oldest interior and still #1 GOAT
First time I touched the interior door handle on the highly coveted “limited “ ram I felt like it was gonna snap off in my hand. Felt like one of those hollow chocolate Easter bunnies. You know what I am talking about when you take a bite the whole thing shatters . That’s the quality I felt in the ram.
Oh come on JB stop acting like you're a Ram Fanboy anymore. You have a not 1 but, 2 Chevy 3500 HD's trucks. 😂😂😂😂 I like the interior of both Ram and the GM trucks. Not much if anything has changed with Ford HD trucks. To bad you can't get a 50 gallon fuel tank, airbags on the GM trucks. It is also to bad you can't get an Allison transmission with the Cummins or a 10 spd transmission on the Ram. Nice comparison of both trucks Brother.
do you not know...that a cummins indeed also has a harmonic balancer🤔 maybe stick to your opinions on interiors and and the tow hooks... do a little more reseach on how engines work before trying to give your "opinion"
TFL just nuked that GM 6.6 lol gotta watch that towing vid
They just did the 6.6lL towing test on the gas engine…
@@Alexander-fr1kk so then you saw the problem
@@sly9263 oh yeah, GM has NEVER put an adequate gas engine in their HD’s.
@@Alexander-fr1kk FYI the 6.6 gas with 10 speed smoked the Gas Ram on IKE…
@@Alexander-fr1kk technically GM never even put in a diesel engine, lol
My opinion is the Gm is a bigger and handles the big loads better. The 10 speed makes up for the torque difference easily. The Ram has the better exhaust brake.
I have a 23' GMC Duramax and a 24' Chevy Duramax and had a 17" Cummins. The exhaust brake on the Duramax when using the cruise is actually better than the Rams.
@@STEEL.AXL1Right. Cruz using your cruise when decelerating an off ramp or in traffic or in slippery conditions make lots of sense. Excuses, excuses. Ram for the win.
You don’t drive long distances or tow much do you.
@@STEEL.AXL1 Absolutely I do. And I use cruise control when necessary. However, cruise control has nothing to do with an exhause brake doing it's job. The Cummins exhaust brake works effectively at highway speeds as well as 10mph.
If you are a nerd like me, look at the statistics and the most reliable heavy duty truck is the GMC 3500
Ram got poor paint work.on them bumbers . They cheap like theres no tomorrow. Take it to any forestry roads or gravel roads or even hwy it will get cheaped so badly. Sometimes, i think even if u get paint chips from mosquitoes or flies on hwhy. Have different paint or something other than that i like it.
Ram may initially “look” nicer in interior (your option) and that all goes away with the cheap plastic feel and materials used. GMC is a better overall truck hands down. For years ram had built very poor quality that comes to light avout 60k miles with issues sqeaks rattles and door sag.
That rams of past. The 5th gen’s don’t have those issues. Not sure about these HDs though
You really need to know trucks. That duramax out tows that ram all day long.... ram gen 5 cummins has issues... You should talk to real diesel guys and shops. Cummins is not the best...
Try HOTSHOT with GMC 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Given the trends, I’m willing to bet the next generation of GMCs will have 7’ tall grilles. Thing is absolutely hideous and the lines of the truck have about as much creativity as a Honda pilot: designers started with a big box then GMC says,”STOP RIGHT THERE! It’s perfect!”
Its Allison approved not a true Allison
Dont apologize; lol. Ram cummins is better period.
Doge are very 😊
Made in USA: GMC 2500/2500 👍👍
Made in Mexico: Ram 2500/3500
You right without that engine it’s just an outdated Fiat.
RIIIIIIGHT 🤡
It’s not even fiat anymore
And the Cummins engine has absolutely zero history or design influence from Fiat. 🤡 indeed
@@slidewide1999 what does that mean
GMC is the Best
Nope!!!
Calling anyone a “fanboy” is pretty rich coming from a RAM fanboy and salesman. I’ve seen MULTIPLE “reviews” that you’ve done where you somehow find the high end RAM model but for some reason you can’t find a comparable high end Chevy, GMC, Ford. This is nothing but a RAM Fanboy propaganda channel.
You're either blind or your willingly ignorant.
The guy has over a dozen 2024 Denali videos on his channel and you can literally search up "VS" and find just about every comparison between RAM and GM/Chevy is on equal footing; the Denali "Ultimate" is a new trim level that's above Denali which is equal to RAM's Limited trim so don't think about making that bogus claim, and Ford only just started delivering trims above Lariat for their newer HD line-ups, you can do the research yourself, they couldn't even honor all the 2023 Limited buyers.
Denali fake leather versus true leather. Soak Ram leather with chemical guys' leather cushion ointment. It feels better and looks better than leather. Leather dashboard, You can smell the leather getting into the truck a Ram. Not GMC! GMC leather feels horrible, even with the leather lotion applied. GMC fake wood!
Nothing fake about the Denali leather. In fact the Denali Ultimate takes it one step further and uses full-grain leather seats (full-grain is considered the highest quality leather available). Also nothing fake about the wood. Both the Denali and Denali Ultimate use authentic, open-pore wood. Denali Ultimate goes one step further with laser etched open-pore Paldao wood.
rams made in Mexico no thanks
Dude....10 gears vs 6 is never a comparison!!!!! If you look at real tow vehicles/ tractor trailers, you never see a six speed. As much as I like the Cummins diesel, the v8 diesels are used WAY MORE!!!!!!! Your clearly a dodge guy, just admit it.
The cummins ram will b running for a million miles , hot shot running. Those junks duracracks blow up anytime after a 125000 miles. I know of 6 duracrack truck guys in our company that had engine meltdowns after 125000 miles, we have a bunch of ram guys with over a million miles on there trucks, so for long haul Ram cummins is the only truck worth having . ford powerchokes suck 2
