    I have a 2019 RAM Limited half ton I purchased new in 2019. It has been the BEST truck I've ever owned and I've owned over 15 trucks total. I have over 80K miles and have had zero problems, it's never been in the shop. I perform all of the oil changes and preventive maintenance items on it myself. The truck rides like the day I purchased it, quiet, great ride and no squeaks or rattles. It is just a great tuck. I love the air suspension especially when I tow my 9,500 lb. trailer. I am getting 19 MPH both highway and in town driving. I waited for the manufacturer rebates and got $20K off. Having said that, the GMC front end looks so amazing, what a great looking truck!. The RAM looks great and it does look better with the refresh but the GMC still looks nicer. When I look at the GMC small sunroof, not a true flat floor rear, and the interior is still just not that great, I think overall the RAM would be a nicer truck to own. So this video really summed it up well and RAM is a better truck.

It has all i could even need really ive had it about 5 yrs now 158k on it no probs oh sry sway bar links but i think thats because i use the air suspension almost daily, especially hooking up the boat i dont even need to crank trailer, just drop the truck line up back under and raise her up just gota get out to lock it down but i am curious about the new hurricane durability but ram has great homework on power output i hope they can stand the test of time....
      I have to say cheer again to ram.. i definitely dont regret it sofar and probably will just upgrade in the next 5 yrs

That wasn’t to “catch up” to RAM who still failed to sell more half-ton trucks in a calendar year than *gm.*
      RAM just caught up to *gm’s* 2022 trucks. It just costs $5k-$10k more. Being more powerful or faster from 0-60 doesn’t mean it’s the better overall luxury truck. Tungsten are just Jeeps with a bed. 😂

    The question was "KING OF LUXURY". Ram, since 2019, has risen to the occasion of leading that space. Sure, it wont have the max tow or haul numbers, but Ram fully understands that isn't what this specific class is all about. Most of the buyers in this class already own some type of luxury vehicle, but sometimes they prefer a truck to do truck things. We also must take into account that the pickup has become the de-facto family vehicle in many American homes, so it certainly makes sense to offer a luxury variant.
    With Ram, it is apparent that the product planners get it. Everything that is touched or seen reminds the owner of luxury. They went so far as to completely change the seating, which is not shared with any other Ram trim. Sure it is more expensive, but it offers an additional 120hp, air suspension, more opulent rear seating accommodations(GMC offering only one interior 120V plug in a truck is a huge miss), vastly superior audio system, panoramic moonroof, 2Kw bed inverter(missed point there), bed cover(another missed point), painted wheel flares, and better storage solutions for just $4K more.
    The GMCs 6.2 V8 is a gem of an engine ans always has been, and I do still like the styling of the Sierra. But I'd take a standard Denali and save thousands since the Ultimate really doesnt make a clear separation like Ram does from Limited to Tungsten.

    • @karlb8069
      @karlb8069 10 місяців тому +3

    My choice would be the RAM Tungsten for many of the benefits stated here but also the RAM BOX. As a trailer puller those storage boxes make it so convenient to store hydraulic jack, 12 volt air compressor, tools, rain jackets, gloves etc., things that normally one would have to crawl into the box to retrieve. I've owned one and was very happy with the RAM. Would definitely want another. Everyone makes a good half ton but if you have not test driven a RAM you might be suprised.

    I've had a 2020 Ram Longhorn put up 75k on it in 2 years, i had 2 issues with it. The moonroof leaked and a manifold bolt broke. That was it, super fun to drive but the suspension wasn't the best (non-air) on tight curvy highways going the speed limit. I now have a GMC 2022 refreshed Denali with super cruise and both trucks have their differences for sure. The seats in the GMC are like sitting on boards, and the moonroof is small. Not to mention I had a leak in it as well a month or so ago. I bought it new and I love the truck especially the Super Cruise. The Super Cruise is a deal breaker for me, it truly is a awesome feature for the truck and other automobiles in the GM family. The shifters in my opinion goes to GMC, its feels smoother than the Rams almost a more natural movement. Informant center I had issues with in the Ram often, but not often enough to go get it checked out for warranty. The sound system in the Ram wasn't the greatest, I like the GMC Bose system better. I'm gonna test drive the new Ram when it becomes more available, its looks like a really comfortable ride. I want to see how their hands free system works. Good review for the time period.

    I drove the 2024 GMC Ultimate for 6,000 miles and 9 months. Excellent truck by any measure. But My 2025 Tungsten finally delivered (nine months after ordering) and I was able to change vehicles.to the Ram. The acceleration is very noticeably faster, with the same performance as a 6 cylinder Raptor. The ride feels a little better than the Ram, but both vehicles are great for being trucks. The cabin seems to be even quieter than the GMC, most likely due to not having the V8 noise. Otherwise there is absolutely no contest between the interior of the Ram and the GMC. The stitching and material quality is completely on par with a Mercedes. Seeing photos of it does not do it justice. You really have to sit in it. And the Audio system is the best I’ve ever heard in a vehicle. I also greatly prefer all the seat adjustments being on the door as they are on a Mercedes. Groping around on the side of your seat to find the right control on the Denali can be annoying. Great review! You guys nailed it 👍🏻

    RAM is a nicer truck, there is nothing better ride quality wise in the class. The only downer is the lack of multi Function tailgate for the tungsten. I have it on my 2023 Limited, it’s a game changer along with the step up under the driver side bumper. I’m planning living with the Hemi for a while until the Hurricane I6 and its turbos prove themselves. The trim, pano sunroof, storage capacity are winners hands down.

      You can get the multi function tailgate in the tungsten. It can be ordered from the factory on rams website.

      And you think RAM, Dodge, Chrysler and the new Jeeps aren’t experiencing issues?? Was this some sort of attempt to make the RAM appear as the superior truck? 😂

    Forget feeling the dashboards. Who does that on any normal day? I need open spaces to put “stuff”. Bring back the split bench seat.
