All you people arguing about what. Just buy what you like. They all get the Job done.
Personally not a fan of chevy. I think the outside looks ugly and the interior is outdated. The Ram with the Cummins will always win, but the appearance wins by a long shot. The I-6 engine set up on the Cummins just destroys all others in longevity and towing. Plus don't even get me started on how good the exhaust brake is.. Enjoyed your review.
Every dodge I've owned has been a problem transmission mainly I like the look of the dodge but I'm sticking with GMC
I owned a 15 ram and an 06 Dodge at same time. One huge difference between the two was that the hood of the 06 slanted downward for much better visibility. Every generation of Ram seems to raise the front edge of the hood and decrease visibility. The Chevy seems to have an even taller hood. Why are these new trucks raising their hoods higher and higher?
They should go with the trend of big rigs and slant the hoods downward for better aerodynamics and better visibility.
The radiator keeps getting bigger. Hence the taller hood.
bull sold chevy i cannot see over hood but i see good in the frieghtliner@@zxej6879
I’m a Ram guy, but Ram needs to get with the program and put out a true 5th Gen truck with a new transmission to keep up with the competition. Larger cab like on the 1500 is needed too.
💯
It is a bit odd that Ram decided to make their 1500 and 2500 trucks with low payload ratings when Ford and GM upped theirs.
Ram is falling behind IMO. They still use the old cab and frame, Fords was all new for 17,GMs for 2020,Ram still using a truck frame and cab from 2010. Time for the mega cab to go away it looks ridiculous ,can’t access it with car seats, you can’t get it with the industry standard 8foot bed,and it adds too much weight .The Ram 1500 cab should be used with a new frame .The 2500 Cummins should be available with a max payload decal (11300) like the GM truck….Ram needs a reliable 8-10 speed automatic.
@@JohnDiMartino well said! 👍 80k too much for a Gen 4.5 truck.
@@fivesfilms I find that the average MSRP for a new truck is a bit expensive for utilitarian use.
I love my 2500 HD Silverado.... the tipping point for me was being able to have a 3300 lbs payload (my truck's payload) with the Duramax.. and I don't think it's possible to get that much payload with the 2500 Cummins configuration.... (FYI - I'm not married to any brand... I love the RAM's interior)
@Yves Arsenault Please do more research on the Ram truck line before stating this. It is possible to have that payload rating -- and more -- with Ram.
@@scottandrews4822 With the Cummins on a 2500? I've looked at many. When looking at the RAM, I've figured I would just go up to the 3500 if I go that route next time.
@@scottandrews4822 the GVWR of a 2500 Ram is 10k. A crew cab ram with a cummins will have 2300 pounds max of payload
Is yours a crewcab?
@@justinherrera4469 sounds like it based on payload
Thanks for the detailed comparison!! I hope RAM addresses the GVWR as well. Even a BigHorn is only at ~2100 best for payload so still not in in small 5’er + family zone and fully used with a larger bumper pull and family on board. Props still got to RAM for the drivetrain info displayable. RAM has the necessities, including oil TEMP (need OBD2 toy for GM or Ford), and vs GM, easy access to gear in use. Thanks again!!
No problem, thanks for sharing 👍🏾
Can't figure out for the life for me what you're talking about with friends GVWR at 2100 if that's what you're actually talking about it's more on 4000
According to TFL if you watch their video of one of their IKE Gauntlet real world testing the Ram 2500 with the cummins engine perform a little better towing than the Silverado 2500 with the Duramax. The Ram was more quiet,the mpg was was a little higher, and it had zero brake applications going down the mountain. The Silverado had one brake application.
The Ram did do well but it wasn't able to see max rating. 2500 has seen max vs Ram 3500 HO dually. TFL does have video of both. Car and Driver had all three in the dirt for a max tow. It was a usually test but such is needed to show what each can do. The article can be google and is on their site of test.
I watched that exact Ike Gauntlet video. My 2500 Ram Limited four by feels like it could haul 50 percent more when I have it at slightly over max cargo cap and my 30 foot travel trailer in tow. My rig fears no grade, up or down. But a while back I spent three years defending myself in a legal battle over a not my fault traffic accident. On coming motorcycle splitting lanes through completely stopped traffic at 10 mph over the speed limit. I turned left, he laid motionless. As a life long rider it was the worst day of my life. He survived thank God. I spent the next three years getting picked apart in depositions. Modifications to my truck, tire sizes, loud stereo questions, what was the weight of the tools in the photos. I keep things well within manufacturer specs while towing. As far as the shootout, look around at what the hotshot drivers are running. Professional drivers hauling max loads on a gooseneck trailer, ♈ case closed.
@@theantiqueactionfigure I would probably choose a 3500 ram ho if I were hotshotting. The thing is, my Chevy maxes right at 26000 lbs, which is the max before needing CDL, so I’m plenty fine with it.
I tried the blackout version on my 2019 High Country Chevy and due to all the paint chipping off I went back to the chrome on my 2022 Dodge 3500. While the blackout looked great, the continues chipping of the paint due to the roadways finally made me realize why bumpers where chrome all of these years. I would need to repaint the front of my truck yearly to be happy with it on the blackout version. Something to think about before going with the all painted option.
PPF will solve the issue too
The ram is such a nice looking truck but the 6’4” bed is to small. The 8 foot is to big for a crew cab. I think Chevy nailed it with that bed size. 👍🏼.
Steps on gm is definitely nice to have it.
They really are!
Yeah, I've had mine for 6 months now... I can tell you, this is super practical! I use 'em a lot
I love all vehicles. I'm a car enthusiast sometimes i like and dislike some designs. But i am definitely a ram guy. I sold my second 2500 with 450k miles, my third ram 3500 with 998,xxx miles almost made it to a mil and still ran strong. When I was looking for my new truck i was thinking GMC because of the Allison tranny, even the salesperson said you'll have better luck with a ram. Haha.
Damn! You got your use out of them huh haha
I know a guy with 750,000 on his Duramax.
@@donaldthomas5852 I don’t- I seem to get the most calls in about the Duramax. Owners have tried to get insurance claims on the engine when it fails. To be fair they seem to fail first with emissions then cylinder heads. Just based in the calls. The Cummins is just not motivating unless it’s the HO. The F250/350 is hit and miss.
The Chevy truck is ugly AF! The GMC is passable but the Chevy is horrific
That's my pick! It will pull everything I want to pull, especially with the "Allison" transmission. Oh, and that black! Wow! I'm sold!
Love that u explain payload. I see campsites of people towing when they are not supposed to be..
Same!
If you can hual it who gives a fuck I hual a 5th wheel with my 5.2 Dakota

Silverado is the way to go
Great video. I considered the Chevy (despite the front styling - GMC is way nicer looking)…those steps on the side and bumper are the best. However, although you picked the Chev the winner for its rear suspension, that’s one reason I picked the Ram 2500. I think that if you really need the payload - and are considering the higher GVWR optioned Silverado 2500 (instead of standard 10,000 lb), just get a 3500. The price difference is so minimal between a 2500 and 3500, it really is an easy choice. For me, and others towing a travel trailer (not 5th wheel) where it’s borderline too much for a half ton, the Ram 2500 is a perfect choice. Also, I do like where Chev has put that block heater plug - so smart! And because of your videos I know where to find it on my Ram, so thank you! :-)
Great info, thanks for sharing 👍🏾
That low of payload is a huge negative even pulling a larger travel trailer, heck my half ton has 200lbs more payload then that Ram... if you need to step up to a 3/4 ton for pulling a travel trailer you are probably in the 900lbs-1,300lbs hitch weight range then and if you are on the high end of that you only have 500lbs payload left. A family of 4 would struggle to keep that Ran under it's payload.
My opinion the Ram 2500 Diesel doesn't make much sense... if you need a diesel get a Ram 3500 or stick with the gas in the Ram 2500.
@@jam471975 agreed. I made that (rookie) mistake with my ‘19 duramax.
It’s great to note that most of the points for the Chevy are your opinions.
The Ram is clearly on a higher level than the Chevy, in every aspect.
And that’s my opinion.
I own a RAM so I know where you’re coming from
Lower hp and torque cummins has much longer life vs high output. If you look at true commercial trucks that use 6.7 cummins, it has a lot less power output and less engine problems.
The Lower HP and Torque also makes better MPG. Compresson ratio 19.0:1 (higher MPG) vs High output 16.2:1 (better boost).
Also it’s about duty cycle and the Cummins has it dialed in, being used in all type of applications. But it’s just not all power! Because these trucks will defuel as the engine heats up generally all makers provide the power needed for the load they sense.
But I’m not saying the Chevy is not a great truck.
I sense Ram fans lol
@@Blackocalypse , I don't even own ram or dodge
@@repairvehicle I'd take both tbh, But the way my bank account is setup lol
Them's fightin words in the truck world. That Cummins is an institution!
I have a2020 Ram 3500 dually diesel , and its hands down the best truck on the market although it has the Hi output 6.7 engine
💯
😂😂 Keep telling yourself that. The engine, which has nothing to do with Ram, from an engineering standpoint, is the ONLY piece that matters. The body and transmissions are JUNK!
@@santos7478 oh, okay so what transmission is junk? Where do you get your information anyway. seems like a statement from someone that has nothing
@@klondikeconan8833 oh, so you you can write an opinion without siting anything to prove it, and when someone challenges it, they have to have proof? Hummm...If you don't know about Ram tranny problems look it up before you confront people about it.
@@santos7478 i own a 2020 Ram with the H.O engine and with The Aisin 6-speed automatic bought it new and has 0 issues. the years they did have problems are 2009 Dodge Ram and 2010 through 2017 Ram models 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 they changed transmissions. go troll someone that has time to listen to your Bs. You argue like a Democrat ...
Great comparison. Toyota guy here, but it's nice to see what's out there. All on the trucks are so cool especially with upper trim levels...Reliability is my thing but my '21 Tundra had many initial quality issues and 2 recalls, one in the steering mech.
I like my truck but others are looking awesome. I feel that trucks built during covid have more build issues.
Sold my 16 Tundra and picked up a new 2500 Chevy gas. Saw what the 22 tundra was and that was that. Jumped to a 3/4T. Initial thoughts: gas mileage is nearly identical which is crazy considering the 2500 is 7,300lbs and way more capable. My trucks payload is 3519. Tundra was 1200lbs. Also this truck is a tank and not a single squeak at all. My tundra had a rattle in the dash and a squeaky dead pedal when fairly new.
And then you step into the 1999 gmc interior
Owned many Chevy trucks and happy with them all, but the new front is just plain ugly.
Yea. Im not into trucks or sucs but seeing the 90s silverados, tahoes, and suburbans, they were nicely styled. Simple yet it fit the main personality of the vehicle. I dont know who hired whoever doing the designs of these vehicles but ever since the 2019 camaro styling refresh, the faces of these cars are just hideous. The surburban/tahoe, the silverado, and the '19 camaro
Nice review but it seems you've got a definite bias towards the Chevy. The Ram Mega Cab is not to compete with other crew cab- it's for passenger comfort so you can have reclining rear seats. As for coming only with 4wd? Who's buying a truck like this without 4wd? The last video with the "ultimate 3500" build with a gasser told me everything I needed to know.
Yeah I got a 2020 ram 3500 with HO the thing is just a monster love it gotta stick with the ram and Cummins tag team but that Chevy looks great as well
Thanks for sharing👍🏾
Great Video! Thanks, I've been researching these trucks.
This comment section has essentially convinced me that the RAM reliability is epic.
The new GM truck may not have the a thousand or more ft. Lbs. of torque but, all you have is enough to get you and your load or trailer moving. Thanks JB 👍🏻😀😀😀
💯 ☝🏾👍🏾
All brands work better after a transmission fluid change. But the Ram having 3.73 ratio is a plus! We live out West, and have big hills. But the weak factor with GM is the double wishbone front suspension. The Ram needs a steering box brace. Which costs about $130 for the parts. But the front control arms can be beefed up with aftermarket parts, for about $600. Any brand truck without 4wd is asking for trouble.
gm has a 10 speed and more engine power, so it doesn't need a 3.73 differential ratio.
@@draingepros Drive a 3.73 with a 10 speed. Then drive a 3.08 or 3.21 with a 10 speed. And you may feel differently. Stock tires, of course. If you put 35's, 37's or 40's. A 4.10, 4.56, or 5.13 may work better.
Tall final ratio gears are for flat land vehicles that like to break driveline parts. Having more gears gives great versatility. But tall ratio drivelines just cause more wear, and break things faster. Less engine braking too!
Good morning brother and I will take the Ram. Better axle, engine, and transmission. For those that think the “GM Allison” is a real Allison then sorry to offend because it’s not. Take an Aisin apart and look at how robust the parts are versus this GM transmission.
Yup, the Aisin is a phenomenal transmission in terms of quality/reliability. If Stellantis can get them to tune/refine it, it would be that much better than the Allison 👍🏾
This will make every fan boy cry, they don't want to hear the truth about Allison. Just in general 10 speed has more parts but they are smaller than 6 speed transmission. Smaller parts equals to more problems, it's a reason why 10 speed transmissions already have earned bad reputation.
@@repairvehicle let them cry, that what GMC stands for…gone make u cry 😭 or grocery mans car, or get my charger…it pulls more
Ram and GM use the same AAM axles sorry to burst your bubble also GM just started using the 10 speeds all of you act like they have been using them for 5 plus years the 6 speed Allison found in the 2019s and older blow the aisin out of the water on every category the aisin is a good transmission but it’s no Allison
@@repairvehicle have you ever took apart a 10 speed Allison? Have you ever crawled under a new GM truck and seen the size of the 10 speed Allison? I’m going to guess absolutely not because of how new they are transmission hasn’t even been out for 2 years so how would you know how small they are and how small the parts are you sound like a complete fan girl the new 10 speed is still designed by Allison it’s just made in house now by GM so how is it unreliable if it’s still designed by the best transmission company?
The high output 6.7 engines in those rams come with the 1000 ft lbs of torque.
1075 now ..dad just got 2021! Runs awesowe
it didn't beat the ram on the Ike gauntlet challenge
😂 I know
Still can't believe Chevy looks the way it does 😔 coming from a GM guy, still disappointed in the look.
Yes the GM is nice. However, you have to look at the reliability of the two and the handling of the two. Even though Ram has a lower pay load. I would rather be safer than sorry. Also, how many GM trucks are on the used sale lot over the Ram. The Ram truck is way more reliable than Chevy, GMC, and Ford. You rarely see a Ram diesel on the used car lot. Plus if there is a problem Chevy, GM, and Ford have way to many moving parts compared to Ram. I’m with the Ram ol faithful.
Yeah idk about that… I see way more Duramax and powerstroke “old work trucks” on the road going to job sites than Cummins. Cummins are meant for a kids first beater truck 😂
@@ay_ay_ron3762 you get what you pay for.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣RAM IS WAY MORE REIABLE THN CHEVY AND FORD?🤣🤣🤣🤣 thats ur opinion not a FACT!!
@@johnm9279 you get what you pay for
Im my experience GM trucks last longer. My 2018 runs like the day I bought it.
Ram 2018 3500 6.7 HO with AEV lift and all sorts of stuff, on my 3rd drag link, plan on ditching it tomorrow for a Chevy.
Got the GM Sierra 1500 elevation 4x4 x31 with the 3.0 diesel, holy smokes is the fuel economy nuts good. If you're looking at a Ram 3500, make sure it has the new updated drag link system, very easily can kill you if it doesn't. Praise the Lord, no joke, mine broke off after getting off the freeway cause I thought the steering felt weird, hit a bump and lost all steering.
Gonna be a long time till I touch a Dodge product again.
Gm frame will look like it’s been sprayed with salt water with its horrible wax frame
I do not care for the wax, but it will expose any frame damage and repair.
I know this is an older video and I’m not a ram fan but having the lower gvwr allows non cdl drivers in hotshot an rv transport to tow a bigger trailer. Crazy how the law is but I think that’s why ram has the lower gvwr
That GM interior is so cheap looking.They nailed the exterior look.
it's not cheap..it's just basic. I'm sure it's good stuff just not as luxurious as the Ram...especially the electronic part to it.
I’m ok with the Chevy interior, functional 😆😎
Cummins all day everyday! Not worried about payload... Payload shmayload. They cap most 2500's at 10,000# to stay out of the commercial classification. Anything over 10,000# GVWR is "Commercial". And not all insurance companies want to take on commercial. My 19' 2500 Cummins handles my 36' fiver like a champ. And no ones gonna beat that exhaust brake on the Ram. Thing will hold back mountains! The failures that people hear about on the newer 68RFE and the 2 versons of the CP4's from 19-20 are the few squeaky wheels on the internet. If you actually pull stats on how many CP4 pump failures have happened its very very small. And Ford has been running that pump since 2011. And mechanical things break and when they do that Cummins is less complex and less expensive to fix with less parts and lower labor times than that Chevy.
Great video, good information. Been a Chevy guy for years owned 4. Just waiting to see what is coming out 2022, 2023 for the interior.
A lot of misinformation in MPG, and payload and towing. Using the megacab as a comparison instead of the normal crewcab wasn't a fair comparison for payload amd comparison. .
The chevy is nice and so is the ram. The ram megacab is for comfort while sacrificing some towing and payload. The Ram interior blows away the chevy. The chevy exterior functions better with the steps and tailgate shut. Ram offers the ram box bed which is pretty cool. The ram arguably looks much nicer.
Cummins is the longest lasting most dependable diesel ever made… but if your not keeping the truck for hundreds of thousands of miles… it really don’t matter what brand you buy. All of them(Ford, Chevy, dodge) have advantages and disadvantages
For whatever reason chevys hood scoop is fake if you get the gasser. Cant imagine why. Seems like it would cost more to make two different hoods. And I’m pretty sure the air box is in the same spot with gas or diesel in the 2020+ models
AND GM KEEPS SHOOTING THEMSELVES IN THS FOOT WITH THAT 8 IN SCREEN .
Posting the trans gear ratio chart got you my thumbs up. Thanks!
I’m down here in Australia and I need a truck, to me the Chevy was slightly better and has a simplified model line up, I do like the RAM interior a bit better (comfort and some tech) but the Chevy is looking like a better option.
Thanks for the help.
Say what you will about Chevy's styling, but I like that they're bold and unusual. Downside is that sometimes they botch it, but other times, GM kills it. Ford and Ram, on the other hand, have been overly cautious in their styling, and over time, it's gotten stale.
IMO, the '20+ Chevy HDs look really good in dark colors, AND a high trim (LTZ or better). The lower trims look pretty ugly from the front, and light--colored paint make the body lines awkward.
GM really killed it with payload (MY '20+). My '19 2500 is pathetic with 1800lbs payload, but they appear to have fixed that.
The Cummins is a great motor but it's long stroke design favors torque over horsepower, so it's always gonna be slowest in acceleration, but it kills it when under heavy/steady loads. And engine braking is super good. Give the RAM Cummins a 10-speed, and it will really rock.
I just bought a one of these Chevys there bad ass I love it

Alright, I drove both apples to apples today and I will say (gas engines) and basic truck packages custom vs tradesman, and the ram is absolutely better driving, handling, noise, turning radius, shifting and mirrors and seats, interior.
Great video.
Can you add the vehicle sticker to future videos? That total dealer asking price will be a determining factor.
Thanks! The reason I didn’t in these videos was because I wasn’t comparing trims but I will add them in future videos, thanks for the feedback 👍🏾
I love your reviews you are helping me get a used 2500 I would love to talk to you and get your advice. Thank you so much
Was about to go with the Ram to replace my 2018 Silverado, I think you swayed me!
Yet another video where someone doesn't understand a 10k gvwr administrative derate and why it exists. If you "prefer the rear leaf springs" then why are you comparing apples and oranges? (Ram 2500/3500, or GM 2500 with HDTP.)
I’m not a Chevy fan. But it was definitely a good video. Good job.I just ordered a 2022 tradesman dually. Gas. The options changed a lot from last year. From what I understand with the options I chose.
Thanks Thomas 👍🏾
In comparison it's preference most things can be altered with package choice. I went for a dodge simply for the cummins, which by industry advancement will probably keep you from buying a second truck years down the road.
The only spot I disagree is the white lettering on the tires. I like the white lettering. But I do agree that Goodyear tires themselves are better.
Great review, that black out package is sick on the chevy! But those wheels are fugly. But yes, I love that Silverado. I want it
Both the Chevy and the GMC truck look like they were trying too hard to look “new”, they should have done an evolutionary remodel rather that a revolutionary remodel like Ford.
I have to disagree. Ford doesn't have to different models like GM. There were far more changes to GM trucks then what Ford did. The only Ford HD I like is the Tremor. The others look too reserved.
One thing you missed is the Chevy probably doesn’t have the snowplow prep package, if so it would match the Ram on front GAWR at 6k
I just bought 2022 hd gas 6.6 Silverado love it
I'm looking at getting a 21 chevy high country 2500HD. I currently have a 21 Ram dually Laramie. Wsnt to go with a SRW, would you buy 2500HD or 3500HD. Will be pulling 5th wheel sometimes. Its 40ft 16000lbs
Agree to disagree I work for pipeline and I have had all 3 brands and ford is fast but not reliable the Chevy is good but not as reliable as the RAM I don't know about the plugs I live in Texas but the only problem I have heard about is pump but still my ram is way better and more reliable
Offer the same colors in the 2500HD as the 1500 ( Satin Steel Metallic, Brownstone Metallic ) and to be able to order the 2500HD Denali or High Country in 2WD. It seams the higher the trim level the less options you get.
Ty for sharing ... yup these trucks are both sweet, but GM has been doing real nice on there refresh designs ...
Good review
I have a 2020 Silverado 2500 LT with the Duramax. My payload is even more than the truck you reviewed here at 3310 pounds. Likely due to added options on the LTZ. I tow my Grand Design 311BHS with it and it's awesome. I'm right at the max specs but it does the job very nicely.
Good stuff 👍🏾
@@JB_WhoWork mines a 2022 Silverado 2500 and my payload is 3700
Dude they also make a high output Cummins and a 6.4 hemi. Wtf
My 21 dually has 342 axle. With 10 speed. Makes sense. 1.80ish ram at 80mph hauling 44ft 5thwheel. But only 8.7 mpg.. not happy. But pulled easily
This makes me really miss my 2500. Those black 20s are hideous though lol.
I think you make all the points in favor of the Chevy that holds true across the board. I guess one of your gripes with the Ram would be a non issue to me and that’s with the standard Cummins. I just don’t think the performance difference would be even noticeable compared to the high output. You have even mentioned they feel faster just because of the transmission behavior. Maybe longevity would be a concern but other than that I’d be just fine with the standard Cummins. I think the High Output only gives you the extra power at a very narrow rpm range.
Yup, having such a low RPM range effects all that extra tq at the end of the day! Thanks bro 👍🏾
The downside with a 2500 Chevy is even though all Duramax’s have the same power, the 2500 has a smaller rear end and so they don’t get full power until 2nd gear. 3500s get full power all the time. And 2500s also always start out in 2nd gear even from a dead stop unless you are in tow/haul mode or manually select 1st gear.
There are 2 engines, one is the high output and the other is the standard engine. Just like they did for 2004.5 when Cummins introduced a high output Cummins then.
2500 cant get the high output
RAM is best
Do you think the newer Aisins are better than let’s say your 2019 as far as everyday shifting?
Also keep hearing rumors of ram adding more gears
I guess you’re going to get rid of your crappy Ram, let’s see the video of your new Chevy!
Nope he not cause he drives a 3500 and he already did a video that says the Ram 3500 is better then the Chevy 3500
As a 2021 Duramax owner I will say the Cummins is a better engine but you need a transmission to go with them motors and only one has a proven transmission.
Hey JB! I have the 2021 2500hd with the 11,350lbs fifth wheel prep package. I know you’ve done a comparison video on the srw 3500 and 2500. I would love to see a video going into more detail on the two on the real differences in them. From what I’ve researched the only difference I can find is the extra leaves in the rear.
The ring gear in the rear end is larger on the 3500 too
Cool always wondered!
@@JB_WhoWork you sure about that? Since they put the Duramax in back in 2001 all Duramax General Motors trucks have had an 11.5 inch ring gear.From the 2500 HD up to the 3500 Dooley.Now if it was a gas truck , yes you would be correct the gas three-quarter ton would have a 10.5 inch and the one ton would have an 11.5 inch. I have 13 GMC trucks in my fleet at work and I personally owned a Duramax and an 8.1 truck.
@@JohnDiMartino when they redesigned the truck back in 2020 I remember reading the press release and then stating that the ring gear was larger in the 1 tons
Can you do a comparison on the high country 1500 and the ram limited 1500 to see which one is better
Excellent comparison. Great job.
Thanks Kevin
Don’t forget about the horrible rust issues that RAMs have, as well as the suspension issues, interior leaking issues (which MAY be fixed by now), and the fact that RAM has the worst manufacturing quality of the bunch
Love your videos.
Thanks bro 👍🏾
Excellent comparison!!
Wish we could have Chevys drivetrain/internals with Rams cosmetics!
I hate the mirrors on the Ram. There are countless douchebags who leave their shitty Ram mirrors out when they are not even towing. They also have a lift, roll coal and have backwards baseball hats on.
Let this sink in...505hp with 1085 ft lbs of raw torque! Get ready!
I really really think the way I’m would be the best winner over that Chevy
If you want to spend 20k more, sure. Bang for the buck though goes to a Big Horn. Especially if buying used with sub 100k miles. P.S. Im a chevy guy 100%.
Wish I knew ram didn’t have leafs in the 2500 when I ordered mine. I’m sure I’ll never need the added payload but just nice to have available.
Coiled suspension ain’t bad at all!
The coils are an advantage,half ton ride quality with 3/4 ton capacity, they sacrifice nothing in payload, it’s the Cummins and the fact that Ram is sticking to the 10000 number that’s hurting the payload.
Nice comparison JB!
Thanks 👍🏾
Was disappointed in the payload on my 2016 2500 Diesel...but cant beat it for towing my Whitehawk 27rb...about 8000 lbs loaded...comfortable ride, 12 mpg, without an issue at 52k miles. If I want to tow a 35 ft 5er I'll get the 3500...and the comparison to the mega cab...mine has the crew cab with the 8 ft bed...plenty of room all around. Doesn't JB drive a Ram?
I do, 19 RAM 3500 MegaCab
I want to upgrade my 2016 1500 RAM limited to a 2500 or 3500 RAM limited or Longhorn. Im ok with Chevy and Ford but I think RAM is overall better.
Ram should allow buyers to get the HO engine in the 2500. Ford and Chevy both kill it with there powertrain on the 3/4 ton trucks
Excellent video
Tastes and preferences are a personal thing, but the GM HD trucks are just horrible looking to me. Their previous truck was a better looking truck to my eyes. This truck just looks awful. It may look better on paper, but I can't get over the way it looks to my tastes. The Ram is a better looking truck to me. If Ram wants to do something then get busy with a bulletproof transmission offering. A flat floor would be a nice improvement. I am not a gadgets and gizmos guy so what Ram offers already does more than I want so I tend to option down and not up. But I know most people want toys. That's just not my preference. Thanks for sharing, forcing Ram to respond to competition is good. Just hoping they don't try to copy the GM's esthetics. I think someone else also commented that I think is correct too about the nose of these trucks going up and up blocking your view when trying to drive and park the trucks. I shouldn't need a camera just to see over the nose of the truck.
What is the name of the video that you did the 90 degree turn with the Chevy?

They are not all 6 sped auto transmissions either Bro you have no idea what you are talking about.
We’ve got a 2500 Chevy and a 2500 ram as work trucks. The RAM will run circles around the Chevy especially when plowing snow the Chevy is trash.
1:1 ratio on the GM/Ford is 7th gear compared to 4th gear on the Ram. 3 extra gears on the low end of the GM/Ford and an extra over drive gear on the high side 🤯
Good stuff
And also let’s not forget … they are trucks. They are tools.
Wow it's called a slide hitch most are automatic slide hitches on the fifth wheel so by mounting that frame even inches behind the rear axle Chevy through the hole geometry off on that truck which I'm sure they figured on but still there's a reason everyone up to this date has put it dead center on the axle besides if you're turning that tight with a camper you're going to rip the axles right out of it in no time
Good point 👍🏾
I bought a slide hitch when I probably didn’t need it. I backed into my driveway coming home from the dealer. First trailer ever. Put it into slide and it didn’t lock. I didn’t know why. Well. Turned out I need to have the tailgate down in the slide position. I never saw any info like that in you tube or read it anywhere. Next time I tow i going to not put it in slide and have my Spotter watch the cap.
I’ll let you know if my axle messes up. Two different 2600 mile trips coming up.
2022 Chevy 2500 gasser, short bed, crew cab.
I’ve owned three ram diesel trucks. Hands down the ram is better. This guy is high!
GM 3/4 tons are better but the RAM 1 tons take the win in my opinion
JB Reviews that’s your opinion. People who haul heavy are driving rams.
Most guys hauling heavy have a 3500 and up so the RAM is better
@@haroldhurst2347 you do know many people tow heavy with GM and fords too right? LOL all 3 honestly get the job done.
Darius Jones you’re right. It’s a matter of taste
