    By far the best auto best truck review I’ve heard on UA-cam ever!!! You convey the most vehicle information in the most concise way while making it exciting and interesting. Don’t stop making these vids. Keep it up cause you definitely have a big career ahead of you whatever you chose to report on.

    This truck has one of the better looking grills of ANY of the current truck and I also like the chrome front and rear bumpers - very seldom seen on todays trucks ( and cars, for that matter )

    When you run a quote on the RAM website it will say, "When properly equipped it can tow up to 11,560 pounds and carry a payload of 1,910 pounds", You have to choose the Trailer Tow Packages. Another exterior option is "4-Corner Air-Suspension - $1,995 - It includes five height selections. Up and down control is via a toggle button in the switch bank. It provides ease of entry and exit as well as a higher ride height for additional ground clearance and a lower ride height for aerodynamics and maximum efficiency." A CLASS exclusive.
    Almost forgot: the 8 speed transmission is from ZF Friedrichshafen AG in Germany and they are widely recognized as one of the best manufacturers in the World. A significant upgrade.

    I went for an oil change at my dealer and while waiting, I took a new Laramie for a long ride, just because. I was so impressed with the ride, the smoothness, the power is insane. The cabin is soooo comfortable. Compare to the new Sierra, RAM hands down !!!! Its a shame that they are so expensive, cause I would lease one next, but no way for now. Dodge did a wonderful job on the I-6 block. I do hear that some already have problems with overheating at around 30-40K. a control flow valve which is made out of plastic is failing in some trucks. But, who doesn't have recalls these days...LOL. Great review, boss.

    Great review Kenny! The refresh is really nice and this is the best looking big truck imho. Cheaping out on the running and tail lights is not cool on a 71k truck. The V8s are going to go away for the most part because of CAFE requirements but for me if I can get the same or more power out of a turbo 6 I'm good. Hope that you are doing great!

    I just rented this exact truck. 2025 Laramie no ugly tow mirrors! Twin turbo had plenty of power for me. Hauled butt in sport mode. Until i put 85 octane in it. Power got very weak. Very quiet motor .I down shifted it a lot in Rocky Mountain National Park. . That worked great. Lays a 6 foot black mark in sport 4wd. Wish i could take 4wd off in sport mode.0-60 was nice until 85 octane. Motor tachs high. Interior gauges,nav etc. was nice. Inside door panels look like they would weather quick. Headlights on dim could have been better. Seats and steering wheel were nice! Very nice truck but I would not pay 70k. I drive junk.

    I’m happy with my 22 limited. I think the hurricane will be a good motor but I’m happy with my 5.7. Has enough power for my needs and the sound from the hemi is unmatched. I think the refresh is meh personally. It’s not much different than the previous version and a step back in some areas. I am jealous of the three settings on the heated steering wheel though. I know mine has the capability but you have to buy something to unlock all the hidden features in the vehicle.

    Unfortunately just like the 2025 F-150, Stellantis tried to copy GMC and give their trucks a more sophisticated exterior look but it only made the RAM look bland, conservative and underwhelming. The Sierra always has been the best looking half-ton truck imo but now it’s the truck with the most road presence too.

    No replacement for displacement, physics matters.
    The only reason they are doing this now is because the gov is putting a gun to their head for fines to meet mpg requirements. That's all.

      Everything you said is a joke. 🤡 Cylinder count is irrelevant. A well designed engine can handle boost. The inline 6 Hurricane looks good on paper and I hope it turns out well.
      The Hemi has notorious issues (lifters, exhaust manifolds, cams, etc). I daily a 5.7 Hemi but I know it’s not the most reliable and it has way less power (especially at elevation).

      I've owned more trucks and cars than you could ever afford. Including multiple hemi's (still running after 20 years) and also very expensive turbo's, cars you can only cream yourself over. You'll never afford them. So I'll explain them to you.
      You are the joke. Go buy your turbo and tell me how wonderful those bills are. And since it is SO powerful...I'm sure you will just LOVE towing with them!!!
      A FOCKING HONDA RIDGELINE HAS A HIGHER MAX PAYLOAD THAN YOUR TURBO!!!

      We had a 20 Ram with the 5.7L. Was a great truck. I love the sound of a v8, but for everyday driving and for towing, this hurricane would likely be my choice. In a truck, it’s about TORQUE, and the torque is down low in this new engine….in a v8 you have to rev it. And when towing or hauling a load for longer distances, the higher rpm driving with a v8 trying to pull gets tiresome in my opinion. Also, the hemi was THIRSTY!….dont think we ever broke 20mpg ever even with a tailwind.
