Middle class ( working class ) yeah we can afford these. But is it worth living stressed out ? I make awesome money but these trucks are too expensive . I make 125k a year and I feel broke living single with 0 debt to ratio . These are way too expensive for today’s economy. They’re worth 65k at most for me but there’s so many individuals that are still buying them for more than what they’re worth and it’s keeping their prices up. I love Cummins and Dmax . Just try not to push away yalls costumers
Feel ya man....in the same ballpark salary and cannot imagine paying these prices. I must be making chump change compared to the rest if 80-100k trucks is the norm. Ford raised their prices for the f150 as well...50k for a base model truck is bonkers.
Absolutely. Get 6.2 or 7.3 gas engine with 8 ft bed. I have 2023 Ram 3500 Limited LWB DRW. . I just found out that fuel filter ( one in the engine and one under chasis ) change costs $560 at the dealer. I paid 102k which was 7k below msrp. If you can't write it off for business, it is not worth it. It does drive good
2022 Laramie doesn’t come close to the limited ram. It’s way nicer and interior is first class. But I definitely see what your saying. It’s a big difference in price. Crazy expensive
@@thomaschambers9431 This. My 2021 Laramie 1500 with 19 speaker Harmon Kardon sound system and all the other options is nicer than any configuration of Chevy truck. Now add on a 6.7 woooo weeeee!

I didnt originally like the mega cab, but it has grown on me enough that I know have it on a super short list of next truck to buy. It would be a gasser though.
Cost to maintain is too high with Diesel truck. Fuel filter alone cost $560 at the dealers. You can buy the gasser and get your gas at Costco for $1 cheaper than diesel and no def and no fuel filter management.
The fact that they only offer regular cab or 4 door is a deal killer. Hopefully they will update the heavy duty trucks soon. They are way behind in this field
Cummins is what semis use, contractors, construction, and engineers use these in their bulldozers and machines to build buildings and all other projects. You buy that engine, not depending on the Baker who puts it to use. Ran was lucky and it was their best move ever they make the most money from utility commercial deals and government contracts. We used power wagons in Iraq in 145-degree heat Fahrenheit..... The Rams were the only trucks to start correctly and even our tanks couldn't start up in that heat without computer failures. Ram computers didn't care! They just ran. So that was the most impressive thing ever. 😮
One thing I can't wrap my head around is that it's a 2024 with a 6 speed. I can get a 24 king ranch f450, 10 speed, with more horsepower for the same price.
@@Brian_Eugene_Lee They won't cut it, Cummins has been Ram's most successful supplier for over 50 years now, and they are still going pretty damn strong. They wouldn't have a reason to close up their partnership with Cummins, unless they will for whatever reason discontinue the 6.7L, which everybody hopes they don't though! I am still waiting for a more powerful engines though, I want to see them kick Ford down again and take the 1st place in terms of Power output and towing capacity such as payload, and obviously also raise the GVWR!
Anyone who wants a ram. Get a 23. Dealers are discounting them to make room for 24s. Just got a 23 Laramie and it was almost 10k off sticker price before even negotiating
So.. these Ram trim levels.. Is Longhorn Limited higher trim level than Laramie?? Is there a Laramie Limited also?? I believe there is just a Limited.. Is that over the Laramie. Anyone?? .. thanks
Hopefully the rear axle is straight. Just found out this week my rear axle was installed incorrectly. It's a 2019 RAM 2500 with the Cummins. Rear air ride suspension. Has been pulling right from since purchasing it brand new. I finally took it in 2 weeks ago for an alignment. The alignment shop called me and said I better take it back to the Dealer for repairs. The solid rear axle will not align properly, because it was not installed on the frame straight.
I've got a 2022 dually that I drive commercially. It's got not one but three recalls that are about a year old, two of which involve spontaneous fires. Can't get the recalls dealt with due to lack of parts. Technically this truck should be parked. But I can't afford an 800 dollar a month payment with no money coming in. Think twice before you buy anything from FCA.
As for myself, there's absolutely no way I'll spend a $101000 on a truck. It's just not worth it. I'm a contractor, and there's absolutely no way. I'll spend that kind of money on a truck. Are you listening Ram?
Mike, I’m with you. But, somebody is buying these. Or they would not be asking that much & the dealers wouldn’t be ordering them to sell on their lots.
I have had three RAMs… one 2500 and two 3500... and all three have been a total headache, I really will never buy a RAM again, problems with the turbo, problems with the transmission, problems with the DEF system... and the dealer never responded for any of the failures... the worst in trucks... 👎🏼
Lmfao buying land makes u decide what vehicle to buy? Firsy off u aint gonna haul jack shit so u dont even need a truck of course ud buy it. And 2nd off u dont need a diesel truck just bc u bought 5 acres. Shit thats what 4 wheelers r for and my family has a little over 500 acres combined on our road and we got around it in a sedan all my life and a vw beetle
@georgethegshep7344 What is the life expectancy of the transmission in a Ram 2500? about 100,000 miles However, trucks often go through a lot of wear and tear. This can lead to transmission problems affecting the life span. On average, the transmission in trucks such as the Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 last for about 100,000 miles. However, with proper care and maintenance, you can extend the life span of your transmission.Sep 7, 2022
@georgethegshep7344 I recently had my transmission go out. after talking to three transmission shops they pretty mentioned the 68rfe in the rams life expectancy is just about 100000. dealership kind-of tipped toed around that same number as well. So I am sure some trucks may never have a problem of pote talky if someone is not towing may not have problems. I would say I tow some but not what I feels would be excessive. bit with a 2500 6.7 cummings I feels one should not have to worry as long as you don't tow over 19000 pounds. I towed 7000 pounds and less than 13000 miles over 6 years. fluid changes were completed at the dealer. Nothing out of the ordinary was ever noticed during towing. Fluid is as red as can be. So not sure why or how the transmission started acting up. but I rant. I can't compare it to gm products as I never owned a HD GM products. But anyways. just stating my situation with my Ram.
It also has 3:73s for axle ratio which is how RAM Cummins should be equipped.

You can get all this as far as hp and torque out of the motor. I agree. No way they are worth it but they still sell
101k Laramie. Insane. I have a 2022 high country duramax 2500. All options and msrp was 81k which I thought was high

@@patricksimoneau7647 if you dont mind educating the masses. What do you do with your truck to make so much money
Best 3500 truck money can buy
Looks great. One of my big concerns with dual cabs in general has been having a lot of leg room, and not enough room behind the person's head.
Not doing any heavy towing, get the standard output Cummins And increase your payload also.
Make it a Limited and I'm officially 100 Grand poorer! I'm absolutely in love with these trucks, ignoring the price tag.
Hey, at least they updated the price.
Honestly the seats are the best in any truck
I miss the paint matched Fender flares on the laramie had to get the limited to get it think it makes the body lines pop
Insane Ram Ben !! 🖤🖤
2 months later truck is still available at Doug Smith Ram in American Fork.
I didnt originally like the mega cab, but it has grown on me enough that I know have it on a super short list of next truck to buy. It would be a gasser though.

Right in the bank account! 😂 That’s right.
amazing looking truck i love to have one
The fact that they only offer regular cab or 4 door is a deal killer. Hopefully they will update the heavy duty trucks soon. They are way behind in this field
They should have made the back doors longer for the mega cab instead of making it look like it was just stretched out
I ordered my 2024 Ram 3500 DRW Laramie FULLY LOADED with every option possible but the Digital cluster wasn’t a option back in July when I ordered 😫

How do you even drive these? The 1500s feel huge, the 3500s have to feel enormous!
Cool ram 3500!
Great truck and great review. Can you do a video comparing the Ram's new mirror to Chevy and Ford's mirrors. Did Ram do enough in the mirror redesign?
There are a lot of them sitting on dealers lots because of the price. A local dealership has 10 percent off msrp. And there still not selling.

$100 tires on a $100k truck. Gotta love a mega cab though
Honestly, the only thing lacking in this truck is the transmission. A six speed is almost archaic at this point.
What would you load on the truck?
Does anyone know why some 2024 Laramie come with LCD dash and some come with analog dash ? Which option come with LCD ?
Thx guys
Anyone who wants a ram. Get a 23. Dealers are discounting them to make room for 24s. Just got a 23 Laramie and it was almost 10k off sticker price before even negotiating

And a GREAT big DEF tank
Is the digital dash standard on laramie for 24? In 23 it was only available in the limited trims

You don’t even show the rear seat folded down. That’s the whole point of the mega cab is to have extra space in the back.
