No other videos that I’ve watched have paid as much attention to detail as you have on your vehicle. Thank you 👍🏾
Ram really hit it out of the park with this re-design. Great review.
No one is even close to that interior and its features. Fantastic. I've had 3 Rams in the past and have always preferred their interiors over the competition. Great review Alex!
Great review as always Alex! Thank you for the thorough review and also providing great detail on the rear seats. You were the first to show the reclining feature of the rear seats and also showing the underneath storage space. Super job!! Keep up the great work!
First the new Wrangler, now this new Ram. FCA is killing it with these new models! That Long Horn interior is especially comfy looking. Great video as always!
The interior is gorgeous I absolutely love it.😀
I really just want the 12" screen, but to get that you have to get a bunch of packages. Cheapest I can seem to find one with the 12" screen is $55K MSRP, chaching! I just want a sport model with 12" and I don't even need navigation (that's what android auto is for).

I agree the interior looks fantastic but with a leather covered dash and leather trim on the tops of the door panels, how long do you think that leather will look in 5-8 years in the southern sun states? Even in my northern state the tops of my doors are all sunbleaced. It will be interesting to see how this holds up in Nevada or Arizona. I don’t think it’s gonna be pretty.
And how many times have you cracked the window an inch or two and have rainwater splash onto the tops of the doors, and now it’s leather. Leather doesn’t like water
Ram has set a new standard for full-size pickup truck interiors.
This truck is absolutely incredible. Hope it ends up reliable.
No review is as detailed as Alex on Autos. 2019 ram is a truck I'd buy, but I already own a 2017 ram. I haven't had any reliability or dependability issues people keep mentioning here.
Quang Nguyen Watch Doug DeMuros reviews if you want every details to be shown but unfortunatly he didn't yet make a review on this truck.
Nasser// / Doug is for humor, not real reviews...
This is the nicest interior that I have seen on a FCA vehicle thus far. You can tell where FCA places the development dollars for sure.
Welcome to Arizona!...you picked a nice time to visit..good video and great truck!
I love this truck and will buy one. I came from owning GM and Ford in my Fleet. They were good but then I added Ram and my maint costs went way down along with happy drivers.
I love your top quality videos, and this truck is outstanding! Thank you for being awesome! :)
The best reviews on UA-cam, thanks Alex.
one of the best vehicle review I have ever watched! and I watch alot of reviews... keep up the good work!
By far...the best review of this vehicle on the interwebs! Well done
It's like Maserati went to work on the interior. Ram got the best interior!
A great review as always Alex, very professional and not sold to any brand as many of the other ones.
For me, this is the best pickup for a while, but this last model blew me away.
Regards
Really enjoy your reviews !!
Alex - you are one of my favorite automotive reviewers! Nice job.
Excellent review, as always.
What a great review 👍 best review about this truck by far thank you
Love that they added actual amber turn signals to the taillights rather than just flashing the brake light. Very smart detail.
Great detailed review. Didnt see other reviews even mention the 12v outlet in dash for radar detector. That is so great so you dont have the long cord running down to bottom of center console.
Excellent review, no fluff or bs just facts. Love it.
This is the truck to go for me now! I'm a Ford man when it comes to trucks, but I think Ram outdid themselves with this one!
9:52 "for your radar detector" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great review!
Every manufacturer needs to go those style headrests. Love the 4 way adjust!
My everyday truck! Wonderful review Alex.
Nice framing with the cactus
Excellent review as usual Alex.
Nice detailed review as always
Another great review. Thanks!
Can't really say anything bad abut the dial shiftier. I have it on a 2014 RAM R/T I drive every day. I personally like it. It's out of the way and easy to use. The idea of a push button for Park is excellent. I too hope FCA is reading this and will consider it for the future.
Great review, as usual.
Beautiful. Subscribed on your channel because of the RAM truck.
Thanks for a very informative review.
You are by far the best car reviewer if there is!
AoA ability to explain in lengths and details, really good. If i'm sitting in class for lecture will not feel a difference. very good
Fantastic video!
awesome job re-assembling the truck. you should of done a time lapse video of it.
Very extencive & professional looking review. Nice looking truck...Very stylish car like interior & those back seats...genius. I predict that this is going to be quite popular. If ever there was a truck to rival the F150 for its market share...I think this is the one. Can't wait for it to come to Australia..looks like my next ute ;)
Alex, you have been amazing to watch grow into this channel over the past few years! Congratulations!
If at all possible, I would love to see a more in depth analysis, of which I believe you can only really provide as there is a bunch of junk out there, for your reviews? For example, crash statistics, iihs safety awards, government test ratings, where the air bags deploy, or frankly whether or not you agree with the assessment of these “impartial” reviewing entities.
From a “whether or not it will get UA-cam hits” I’m not sure, but if Subarus are selling like hot cakes because of their successful safety ratings and price points, I’d imagine you’d get some pretty decent views on a video dedicated to safety or, if you could add a more substantial safety analysis to each review, it would be GREATLY appreciated. I don’t see any car reviewer really doing this and NO ONE provides the truly in depth analysis you do.
Thanks again!
Mike
I bought a 2018 big horn , I wish I could have waited for the 2019 WOW, looks great 👍🏻
Great review. However, considering how much time you spent on describing the 4-corner air suspension - you should have delineated its cost in the pricing segment.
You can also use Apple’s USB C to Lightning cable to fast charge your iPhone 8, 8+ and X.
As well as any Android phone that uses USB-C. Apple isn't anything special here.
Alex you are the best! Can you do the 2019 GMC Sierra soon?
this is a great looking truck. 2017 and 2018 are super discounted right now though
So happy that we can now get them in Australia 🇦🇺 getting one next year
Great truck + pro review = sales for FCA
The Laramie longhorn is the way to go... of course with just about all the options. Great video
Alex does the best reviews, but I’d like to see reviews on lower trim models the average buyer would have interest in. Not everyone can afford a $60k truck.
Nice looking truck
Wow, that Longhorn interior has details you'd only see in fine european luxury vehicles!
That flat rear load floor means a higher step in height, and likely overall height. Longer wheelbase means more thought required to avoid hopping curbs in tight traffic.
I'll take the half inch step in if it means a more useable rear cab
That’s why there are power and non-power steps available to assist getting in...
Why are you hopping curbs in traffic?
How tall are the damn curbs where you live?
Never towed a 20 foot trailer have you?
I like the interior on the Laramie Longhorn more. The interior on the Longhorn makes the truck itself look like home, in my opinion.
I’m sending you new sunglasses for Christmas
Looks great inside and out.
Totally disagree.
Totally agree!👍👍
Will it blend?
Can you do the Lincoln Navigator and Continental, Black Label both?
Smart concept E torque system. location of the e torque is located on the top of the engine. not between the engine and the transmission. service is cost effective. using the original engine and not spending millions in RnD to build and fail in new engines. also the only truck to use high strength steel in the frame. the RAm also uses the front adjustable spoiler the only truck again. 4 corner air springs. sound cancelling mics and speakers. e torque to heats and cools the transmission and rear diff to allow the proper operation of the units equals better fuel economy. the other dont compare.
Nice! Where are the classes held to operate the screen?
I thank god they redid this truck. I’ve test driven the old and it really felt heavy. Handling was a bit numb
Heavy compared to what? All trucks feel heavy when driven by people not used to driving them.
emdec55 compared to a silverado it the old ram felt way bigger than it was. I didn't mind the steering feel though. Fords was terrible it was way to light, and at highway speeds felt pushed around more than a ram or GM
Larry Rogers
No freaking way... I have a 2017... Almost 400 hp... Awesome turning radius and a blast to drive...ur an idiot
I found that the Ram 1500 was one of the most enjoyable and easiest trucks to drive. The Fords feel lighter because they, well, are lighter thanks to aluminum body panels. But the Rams are far easier to park and place because of the hood shape and great turning radius.
not the f-150...feels light for a full size truck
I'd like to see more of the vehicle and less split screens Alex!
I'm a Ford fan but Ram hit a homerun here!
Same here. Will give it a year and see how well it does, might get one myself.
In the first interior explain[Navy/Ivory trim] there seems to be speaker grilles next to the volume and tune knobs in the center stack. Not the same as the 'BarnWoody' interior look. They are part of the HK system?
My only wish is that they had come up with a new or updated V8 engine. The new 'eTorque' system is welcomed, but a more powerful Hemi V8, possibly the 6.4L, would've made everything better.
RAM has stolen the interior and technology wars. While it would have been nice to see a little more power from the HEMI, overall I LOVE that RAM constantly thinks outside of the box. Everything appears to have been well thought out. But the interior of the Limited trim gives new definition to the term "Cowboy Cadillac".
On the capability front, while not class-leading in tow and haul, RAM was smart to not attempt to over-engineer, thus add weight, to the 1500 as well as to save room for the forthcoming 2500 in heavy hauling.
**I do know that FCA is working on a boosted Pentastar that will give the Ecoboost some competition.
Definitely the best deal it’s a little overpriced I think 30 to 35 thousand is more reasonable but I’d still buy it I’m kind of pissed off because in Michigan if you have a sports car you need a truck to drive in the winter and it’s going to cost like 50 grand but it really is a great truck good job ram.
All around best truck ever !!!
World Class interior and ergonomics by Ram. Best in class.
The best track tell today...💪
Alex another very well done, thorough and polished review. Other auto journalist should learn from you. This new RAM seems very impressive but I am wondering about any thoughts on IIHS for this new model. Transporting my family with young children a vehicles crash test scores are very important. As you know the last generation RAM IIHS scores pretty lousy and unacceptable.
TJ Sullivan FCA is stating top scores will be achieved with this new model. I agree that the new for 2009 current model needed improvement.
Thanks for the info. I hope FCA is right.
So much storage! Damn
19:22 Its good to know all those Shake Weights went to a good home after being the butt of so many jokes for years.
Hello. I need room for 6. Does this truck have the option for a bench seat up front? All trims? What about the ford?
I moved out of Ram to a 17 LTZ Chevy and have regretted it since. The 5.3 is anemic and the near top line LTZ does not have push to start so back fumbling for keys. The Chevy has loudest seatbelt, key in chimes so annoying. You can turn them completely off in my last Ram. Ram best interior and ride also.
Darren the 5.3 is fine, it's just refined to allow for best girl economy but if you need power it will give it to you.
Ahhh, no push button. Really. Come on! God forbid you actually work your hands a little. Wth. Lol
David Sosa that’s just it ! I often have gloves on or carrying tools or something . Have to put everything down to dig keys out of my pockets .
I owned a landscape biz F
For 25 yrs. 15 stops a day, never once considered reaching in a pocket and inserting a key a factor in truck choices.
You have never had a push to start button and have truck unlock when you walk up. No putting tools or clipboard down, taking off gloves etc. Get in and push button and go. Get one, you'll wonder how you did without it.
Nice review. I'm not sure if you shot in native 4K or upscaled, but there is some distracting color grading (on the undercarriage of the truck especially). Any shadowy area looks super fuzzy for 4K.
This was shot in native 4K but UA-cam compresses the snot out of the video.
Looks like Dodge got it right. Still prefer a traditional transmission selector (I'd even settle for a column mounted shifter).
All comes down to the transmission itself. The ZF only allows for electronic interface. The 2500+ models will likely require a column shifter (because, again, their respective transmission choices demand it).
Furious321 Make it an electronically linked gated leveler then. The knob shifters are vague.
Then youll lack interior space storage
I know that its a change. I like that that it clears up space.
Tomaz Hilton There's absolutely no space disadvantage to having a column shifter. I also find the dial vague and just plain weird. An electronic 'fly by wire' column shifter with some realist detents would still eliminate the cable and give guys like me the satisfaction of having a real shifter. It doesn't have to be a foot long steel rod like on my current truck. It can look like electronic switch gear and still be a great shifter.
Side note, for anyone wondering, there is nothing functional on the limited you can't get on the larime longhorn. It is 100% aesthetic differences and the longhorn ends up costing more with all the same options, hopefully due to the nicer interior.
Alex, I just don't get the PDI and freight charges. PDI is the biggest scam....why should I have to pay to make sure the vehicle is fit for duty? And, if we are powerless to change the freight then why even tell us what it costs. Just include it in the vehicle cost.
Cactus 🌵 is giving the long middle finger to other trucks.
I love 2019 dodge ram 1500 limited
I'm with you. Fist pick up from the big three I like.
The front fascia looks a bit like the Jeep Grand Cherokee and GMC Sierra combined with some tundra feel on it
Buying this truck as my first car.
YES IT IS . THERE IS NOTHING BETTER . RAM IS THE KING
Nice truck. I just hope they've improved on the quality and reliability. Last thing anyone wants while towing a 7500 lb. camper in the middle of nowhere is to have your truck break down.
like Fords?
I have a 2014 ecodiesel with 113,000 miles and have had zero problems. I hear this kind stupidity all the time from people who have never owned one.
That isn't an issue for any maker. The low dependability rating has to do with fit and finish and people not being able to figure out the electronics.
Novice MTBer - Lower Your Expectations
More reliable than Shitvrolet or Furd Turds....better than wannabe trucks like Nissan or Toyotas
reliability issues are a non-issue for me; my previous 2010 ram 1500 "sport" (w/ "hemi") was trouble-free through 65,000 miles. At that point, ram introduced the 2013 model, which included the updated interior, uconnect, and ZF 8-speed tranny; I WAS SOLD! I traded my 2010 in on a early production 2013 crew cab "laramie", again with the "hemi", and it has been very reliable, as well.
*****NOTICE TO YOU, "NOVICE": try to refrain from making comments on automobiles with which you might not have personal experience. thanks.
are you in Tucson?
It's hard to argue with this new interior... No other truck comes close. Ford better up their game, soon...
Toyota and Nissan should go back to amber turn signals in the tail lights. The tail light on the new ones look like the F-150 or Silverado tail lights.
A Tundram! We are definitely moving toward UNITRUCK styling.
who many head gaskets can it blow ?
Why dont thry have the 6.4 hemi? In fact, why does the durango have the 392 hemi, but the ram doesnt
Bought new a 2004 2500 4x4 short bed 5.9L Cummins quad cab 6 speed manual from Dave Smith motors Kellogg, ID. Best material possession ever invested. Minimal maintenance issues; normal periodic mileage repairs: i.e. Clutch replacement at 96k miles. Full brake job, front end ball joints, wheel bearings at 110k mikes. Note there was no brake maintenance until then...not bad. Due probably to the manual transmission and exhaust brake. Body and interior are still solid; only rust is lower edge of tailgate which I'll replace someday. 19mpg everyday, 11-13 pulling 8000lb travel trailer. I'll never part with it although every time I swing by a dealership they try very hard. I flash them my open carry .45 ACP Colt M1991 series 80 stainless and warn them to keep their distance.
General Motors product. BLAH. Ford 'Super Duty' what a joke. Mine has been dyno'd at 345hp, 657ft/lb trq at the rear wheels. That's more than a decade before the monster power outputs currently available. Competition sells more models, truck owners are finicky, no one can honestly touch a Ram Cummins
FCA with air suspension and hybrid, idk.. someone convince me plz
Hi Alex.
Why would they not choose to shorten the rear cab space and have a slightly longer bed?
The legroom in the rear seats seems to be excessive ie a waste.
Mario Dalla Riva rear passenger comfort is becoming a trend in trucks. They still offer the 6.4 bed which is good for the average joe hauler imo. Still hoping they release a single cab 8ft bed though. They'll lose the working mans sales if not..
This just shows how few owners actually use them as trucks. When gas goes up in price again they'll be on the market cheap. My relative bought a pickup and does nothing but commute to work in it. Guy never lifts a finger so he doesn't need it for any projects.
Families are Opting for Pick ups now.
Mario Dalla Riva because bros
Think of a 4 door truck as an 'almost SUV'. I need the rear space for the kids and for items that I want to keep locked up or keep dry when shopping. I would welcome a tiny but more space for those oong trips where you can recline thkse rear seats. I suppose for how often I put stuff in the back of my truck, I could get away with a compact SUV and save gas but I've done the trailer thing for years and it's BS. A trailer is just another 'vehicle' in my yard that needs tires, maintenance and yearly licencing. I'd much rather carry around a truck bed all day. Sales of the quad cab just plain fell victim to the crew cab but a 6.5 for box is quite sufficient for the vast majority of people.
Does Apple play do apps like Spotify?
Very good review, however, I should point out, you mention payload, show it on the screen, yet did not show the "Actual" payload numbers of the reviewed models. That is the #1 most important aspect when it comes to towing. That airbag suspension, adds, weight, takes away from payload, reducing towing capacity. Ram still has a way to go to catch Ford when it comes to towing as comparable models like the Limited and Laramie are still several hundred pounds below Ford. A limited for example has 1462 pound payload and the same equipped F150 Platinum has between 1583 and 1661 pound payload depending on the moonroof option which is not standard(though every one you see has one, for $1295).
On that interior, Oh man, that is the Best interior of any pickup. It is Beautiful! I learned my lesson a few years ago, never buy a first run of a new model, otherwise, yeah, I very well could replace my F150 with a Ram, but I will give it time and see how reliable it is first. Really nice job Ram, and coming from someone who bleeds Ford Blue, that is one hell of a comment!
One thing I should mention, the 5.0 V8 is standard on the upper trims, and can be had with all the same options the 3.5 EB has, except for the Max Tow package as it is specific to the 3.5 EB in that it is the top towing engine. The V8 can be had in any truck from XL to Limited, so not sure where you got that information regarding the Ford V8.
That's because we could not get that information from FCA at the time of filming.
Have you tried opening the drivers door and looking at the yellow payload tag? Thats the actual real world payload number for that truck! :) This is a pet peeve of mine when looking for a truck on dealers websites and cars.com etc. None of them have a photo of that most important tag that tells you how much weight can be put in the bed or on the tongue. Some of us actually use a truck as a truck.
I think this truck got the best interior in class.
