I research the hell out of everything before I spend my money on it and I've watched plenty of reviews on this truck as well as others. This is the most enjoyable and most helpful review I've come across thus far. Thank you for this.
Ram has the best deals on there trucks in the market,,,just sold my 2011 sport and got a 20 ram bighorn with the panaramic sunroof and the 12 in radio,,it is the best riding and preforming truck i have had!!!this is my 4TH Ram and continue to really like them,,Keep up the good work!!!!
What a killer ride. Love the new RAM truck. Looks the best out of all the trucks on the market for sure and having that HEMI sets it right over the top.
Thank you! We found it be a great combo as well! It has a great balance of chrome and body colors. We’ve found RAMS of the past to either have too much chrome or none at all which led to it looking like a “work” (base) truck.
with how high gas prices are getting I had to sadly get out of my 2020 big horn. I don't work construction anymore and don't use the trunk that often so it started to hurt when I was filling up over $150 a tank lol. I enjoy driving and it's sad that the gas prices made me begin to hate driving. Ended up getting into a fuel efficient small luxury suv. The fuel economy is great but man oh man do I miss my beastly ram lol
Well the 3.6 makes more power than my 2001 Dakota 4.7 liter of 235/235 with about the same MPG. You didn't make a mistake. My 19 Ram is only getting 14.5 on a good day with the hemi.
@@jeffjacobson59 I just got a 2019 Lone Star Sport, mine is a 4x2 but I never do any off roading. I have the Pano Sunroof, 8.4" Uconnect, and E-torque. I am absolutely in love with this truck you will not regret buying one if you are in the market for a new truck.
I'm currently looking at the ram. My 13 gmc sierra has been ok but I hate the afm, the newer gms have auto start stop now also. Fit and finish on the gm feels dated too. Going to test drive one almost identical to the truck in the video.
He forgot that the center console has two opening levers. The first upper lever opens a smaller storage area. The lower lever opens the large storage area that he showed. Also the center cup holder slides back and forth locks in three positions. I got a Ram on Dec 28th, 2018. Love it.
I was between F-150 and Sierra, but after this '19 redesign, Ram is heads and tails above GMC/Ford now and they'll be playing catch-up for years to come. The new Sierra redesign is a regression, and the F-150's redesign is a very marginal improvement if any. Ram is the one to beat now, I'm just hoping they'll sell a lot so I can pick up a used one in a year or two.
You have to understand where GMC and all of the other companies got their technology from. Ford was the leader when it comes down to most of the technology that these vehicles now have. GM and Ford collaborated on the engine options that are available to both vehicles. Even though the engines are different they both have some type of start stop technology. Fiat which has crashed and burned when they have been involved with anything that has to do with vehicles. They did get one over on you all with the 19 speaker system and a nice interior. I am a fan of Dodges but Fiat dressed up Rams. Those are just not for me. Dodge bad move being bought out by Fiat. I am a Ford fan but I know a crap load of Dodge fans and by being bought out by Fiat, Dodge you lost them.
@Roni Rios The 2019 RAM hasn't even been out for a year yet and you're using last-gen reliability data to determine how this will preform? The 2019 model has already made a considerable step up in crash test ratings and rides, looks, and feels much better than the competition.
@@Bailey_54R Funny the MPG is only 1 MPG different and that is when you are not using the turbo. That is why you see the comments on the ecoboost motors as either boost or eco. I know people with these that get lower numbers on the highway with just wind as the turbo kicks in to keep the truck going at a highway speed. On the Ram you do not run into that problem. Tows more is a stupid comment because if you are towing the 13,200 pounds then you should be in a bigger truck. No half ton should be towing that much as your truck is light and I can tell you it will not hold up so long as it does not have heavy duty capabilities even though they tell you that it can be done. You show me anyone that is towing that much for a long period of time with their f150. I pull my camper and anything else with my Ram and have never had an issue. Over the time of pulling my camper I have only seen a few ecoboost f150 at the campgrounds. All the people I talk to with the f150 said they would not go with an ecoboost to pull their trailers. That does not say much for Ford. I say if they have such great motors in the v-6's then they should get rid of the v-8 in their f150 but you will never see that happen as their sales would drop them below the others.
@@itguy4260 I call bullshit. The EcoBoost tows amazingly and wins every towing test between it and every other half ton. Watch the fast lane truck and their ike gauntlet towing tests
Yup, I bought one a few weeks ago. Talked them down 10k. Which surprised the hell out of me considering they JUST got delivered to the lot. I am very very impressed. It reminds me of driving my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee except MUCH bigger and can tow so much more! Best vehicle I have ever owned. I get so many people staring at it and asking me questions at Costco gas station :)
40K but I was 6k upside down in my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee tradein. I also didnt get the auto sidesteps and NAV option that I wanted but retail was just over 50K. Speaking of NAV. The uConnect 4 is awesome. I use Google Maps on my Samsung S7 cellphone on screen of the uCOnnect. Works flawlessly. Suprisingly, uConnect and android fixed the problem of music playback using the USB cable! I pay $20 a month for CD quality music on TIDAL. Blu-Tooth audio quality sucks and with the USB direct connect to the uCOnnect it sound sooooo much bettter! Also, I got a killer deal on that high end BAK Industries BAKFlip MX4 Hard Folding Truck Bed Cover retails for $1200 for $900 with free install and 5 years no fault warranty. At 4Wheels Truck store. Sweet.
Great review,the interior is the difference maker for me.Wife and I love the roomier cabin.Really unless you're a fanboy of a certain manufacturer,all of the big 3 are pretty close.I previously owned a Toyota Tundra,we nicknamed "rusty" for a reason.Except for the Toyota,we have owned all of the big 3 with very little regret.
Thank you Moe! I think you're going to love your new RAM! We've driven ours ~16,000 miles so far and haven't had a single issue. I find it quite fascinating how much pickup trucks have changes over the past 10 years. In most trims, they're no longer the "bare bones" utility vehicles they used to be. They're still quite capable, but they're also able to be quite luxurious as a daily driver. As you can see in todays market, the pricing surely reflects these luxuries too! Hopefully you're able to get a good deal! I wish you the best in your search! Regards, Apex Reviews
@@ApexReviewsOfficial Well I know on Monday if I got it. I believe I do. The Laramie was actually a couple thousand cheaper cause it a quad cab. Which will be fine with me cause I rarely have people with me. So I'll let you then. When it becomes official.
I've been test driving Big horns for the last 3 months. Ended up picking up a Laramie Sport for $15 ,000 under msrp, $54,490 -- $39,490. Couldn't pass it up.
@@iivanTV purchased is Des Moines area. Didn't even talk them down. It was the advertised price. Other parts of the country had similar deals a while back.
Rented a Laramie for 4 days and BLEW ME AWAY. This truck drives and rides better than most cars. I literally didn't want to give it back. Happened to drive by a small Dodge dealership where we were vacationing and a Big Horn Ed was 25 PCT off MSRP for $28k which is an absurd price for what you get and how well the vehicle performs- was all I could do not to just tell my GF she was driving the rental back and I would drive the new truck
I use cds. I’m 39 and I’ve never once downloaded a song. Honestly, I don’t know how. I also don’t have a Facebook or Twitter account and have never been on those websites. Last of a breed I guess. I’m just saying not everyone is obsessed with technology. Hell, I wish they would make vehicles without “infotainment “ stuff. I have no use for it. I don’t really enjoy these fancy cameras and what have you either. I would love to be able to get a luxury truck without that stuff for a nice discount, but I’m living in a fantasy world. There have to be more people like me that don’t care the slightest about this stuff. I listen to talk radio for Christ’s sake! What’s wrong with me?
The add on prices for options on this truck can be astronomical. LED light package is a grand. 20 inch wheels, $1600, etc. Bedliner group $800, etc. I love the truck, but you can EASILY overspend by $3-6000 just for the handful of stuff on a particular truck at the dealership. These are items that you might not necessarily order if you built it from scratch. And the dealers know it. The packages are confusing too. Some options require that you add others, etc. It can get quickly get confusing in one-thousand dollar chunks I suggest that you look CAREFULLY at the window sticker and itemize everything before you stroke that check. I offered 40K for a truck with 42.8K price tag (after RAM and dealer incentives). My goal was to pay no more than 41K. They didn't come off their price one penny. So I walked. They never called. I later found out from a different dealer that the MORE expensive ones are flying off the lot, so they have no interest in losing money on one. Love the truck, and I will get one but I can wait. The Ram incentives are already almost a grand more today than they were when I was looking in August of 18.
Hey man! Great video! How are you liking this truck still? I’m about to pull the trigger on a 2020 ram big horn and I just want to see how people are liking their rams still. Thank you!
I have a 19 bighorn it's the best truck I ever owned. I had 12 Silverado and a 15 Silverado. Although the 15 Silverado was a nice truck. The ram is much better. What a great ride. Especially on the 7 hour ride to my lake house. 5.7 hemi and 21.7 mpg on the highway. I also have the crome package. ,,, someone order my truck and never picked it up. So I got a really good price. On it. And paid cash out the door.
Got to give ram it's due(i'm a chevy guy), it hit a home run with this new model! I will wait until enough of these get on the used lots before getting one!
Drinking and driving, If you want to put an end to you’r life, and the lives of others. This is easy to do. Continue flirt with drinking and driving. Maybe luck and end up telling a judge you’r sad story. Odds are close to not being so lucky. This is where reality takes over. The end result of playing with fire, you get burned. Try being in a wheelchair for the rest of life. The easy ultimate, a custom made wooden box a nice coffin custom for driving and drinking, DUI. You want to drink, stay off of the road !!
This was by far one of the best reviews I've seen on this truck. I'm upgrading my 2013 Ram for this model. Question do you know if you can upgrade your head unit for the new 12 inch heat unit?
Beautiful truck. Question is, when will things start going wrong? The noises? Issues with things breaking. Dodge/Ram always had a better bang for the buck and drove comfortably. The problem was reliability. Really love the look and am considering purchasing one but I may be leaning towards the Nissan Titan for the reliability factor. I need a truck that I can own for as long as possible without headaches.
I'm on my third Ram with no major issues, my 1995 I had to put 3 water pumps in. I'm guessing it was cheap parts from Mexico. My 2005 was flawless and got 150k on it before I sold it. Currently driving a 14 with the zf 8 speed transmission and wow, what a fantastic transmission and motor combo.
I like the subtle led drl’s they aren’t blinding while parked unlike my neighbors f250 [ ] drl’s which roasts my corneas every morning while waiting at the bus stop.
Love the truck, tried to build it on website, but didn't offer the options you have 🤔. Maybe it's a regional thing, I live in Florida, but did not have the sunroof option and maybe some other things on the Bighorn trim. Could you review your sticker by chance???
Geovanis, I do believe the incentives were for the Great Lakes Bay region. After reviewing our numbers again, I remembered that we also had a lease conquest rebate added in as well. As and ye shall receive! Below is a copy of the window sticker for this exact truck. I found that you couldn’t add the sunroof to the Big Horn on their online tool as well. I’m thinking someone in the IT group is slacking. 😀 ibb.co/f8GCwU
@@ApexReviewsOfficial I noticed even the sound system I wasn't able to do. yeah I don't know what the difference is but thank you I appreciate it when I'm ready to hit the dealer if it's not available I'll take that information. Happy Trails enjoy the truck it's beautiful.
I literally have a sugar daddy and I asked him for the new 2020 RAM. And he got me a bright red 2020 RAM 1500 Big Horn with the Sport Package! It doesn't have LED lights but I don't know if I can go to the RAM dealership and install options after owning the truck.
Any unusual wind noise or leaks from the sunroof? Beautiful truck by the way, I have been looking around at the Laramie package with the color matched grille and bumpers.
I just traded my 15 ford f150 2.7l ecoboost for a 2019 ram with 5.7l hemi, and I have to say that the 2.7l has more seat of the pants power due to the amount of low end torque it has. my old 2.7l had the 3.55 gears and my new ram has the 3.21 gears. they actually get about the same gas mileage for me (mostly highway), 18.5 for the ecoboost an 18.2 for the hemi. I decided to go with the ram because of all of the features you get for the price, and without the e-torque, the hemi has less potential issues that could happen. the place I bought it from bundles a lifetime powertrain warranty with all used vehicles they sell... that was another reason.
I've looked at all the 2019 Rams up to the Limited. All of them are nice, but I think this Big Horn Sport package is the best looking of them all. These wheels are the best looking (to me) and these headlights are better looking than the Longhorn and Limited. I'm gonna get this exact package and maybe add Katskin leather seat covers. Best bang for the buck in my humble opinion.
So why do the 1500's have a flat floor in the back and the 2500's have the raised center bump in the floor? I want a 2500 but hate that the back floor is not flat.
I hope they have improved on the MDS system, my 2016 has had issues going from 4 to8 cylinders very rough sounds like its misfiring and since it doesn't set off a check engine light the dealer said its normal.This has been happening since new. Thinking of switching to chevy or ford.
Really loved your review! I've been reviewing for a new truck purchase. I think I found my new truck. You mentioned that you tow your RV trailer. How much does your trailer weigh and how does this truck feel towing it? I have a new RV, 25ft. 4700 lbs. I'm thinking this truck will be plenty good enough! Just need the side step up rails, deal! Thanks...
I'm curious how much did you pay for this big horn I have the same exact truck in Laramie trim paid 51,000 but do not have the panoramic sunroof a little disappointed about that although I do have heated and cooled leather seats along with the 12in screen
First off, great username! Secondly, no this particular truck (5.7L w/out eTorque) does not have auto start/stop; however, if we were to have elected the eTorque in either the V6 or V8 , it would have. Thankfully you can disable it with a button by the gear selector, but you would have to do this each time you started the truck.
was thinking gettin a 2022 WHITE bighorn........i love this 4 th generation shape much better then the 2015/16 its much nicer and more classy in my opinion...........beautiful truck,..........and these 5.7 is like bulletproof engine.........cool review.........u shuld get a go pro or somehting with a suction cup....it feel likes ur in a plane....makieing me dizzy.....when u shitfing....like a plane on a bank angle....LOL
How much $$$ Beautiful... am I the only one who really worries about the electronics In these TRUCKS.. 5 -7 years from now still making payments, and truck has major malfunctions.. Still making payments and dealer saying.. WE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT
Thanks for that input Mike.....I'm looking for a new truck and I'm thinking of the F-250 or this but of course money will help decide also. I've heard before that the electronics have caused problems in these trucks.
my hate for the ford ecoboots isnt about exhaust sound. its about turbos. i want less things that will break, to an extent. when you need to replace that turbo(s) the cost you saved in fuel isnt gonna matter when you have an expensive repair bill you have to pay all the sudden.
When I'm backing out of my driveway with my 2019 1500 Ram Big Horn once in a while the emergency brake light come on and stop me and there's nothing there behind me should I take it to the dealer or am I doing something wrong
I just picked up the 2020 and same thing happened. I went to setting and shut it off. It would be a great feature if it worked right. But I was backing into my Sons driveway when it slammed the brakes on leaving my front half of the truck in the road. Ticked me right off cuz it could have caused an accident for no reason. There was nothing behind me.
Help! New owner of a 2019 1500 big horn , is there anyway to open the doors without having to physically press the key fob? I’ve been trying to figure this out
Ok question to owners of 2020 Rams. So has anyone had their arm resting on the window opening near over the door lock and gotten the ole pinch when the power locks snap down at about 12 mph? And what's the deal with the dash lights? They are either blinding bright or dark! No in between. I solved the door lock arm pinch by shutting off the auto lock but would have been better to have the option for it to lock when putting into drive. But that instrument light stinks!
William, I can't comment on the Ford or Chevy since I didn't get a chance to tow with either truck. I like these mirrors since they're not your typical "tow" mirror in size but still allow for a good field of view while towing. When the RV is hooked up, I'm able to see if traffic is approaching or is next to the trailer quite easily. I can't see the entire lane, but I can at least see ~2/3's which is more than enough to make a calculated lane change. If you're towing a 5th wheel or perhaps even towing often, I would probably recommend the tow mirrors, but for someone that tows every month or so, these were adequate for us. Also, if you have a truck and an SUV parked in a standard two car garage, the mirrors will be quite close. With the RAM having power folding mirrors, it makes things a little easier for the two of us while getting in and out of the cars. Just thought I'd share some real life experiences!
I just bought a 2019 ram 1500 laramie, and i'm having issues when stopping and accelerating, as soon as i step on the gas i feel like a bump or like someone rear ended me, it doesn't do it all the time usually the first few stops after pulling out of my driveway. Also the shifting i don't know if it's just me but sometimes i feel like it shifts too quick it's annoying and i'm really dissapointed, i have to get it checked out :(
Javier Hernandez the 8 speed auto shifts fast. My 2017 has the same lil bump your talking about. Took it to the dealer numerous times and they said its fine. Dosen't even bother me now
transmission yoke does this it can be lubricated to stop this but it will return. not a big deal nothing is actually wrong with the vehicle just a perception.
I have the same transmission in my 16 bighorn it shifting quick is actually better for the life of the transmission and for fuel savings if u put it in tow/haul mode it get really really snappy especially with weight behind it just letting u know mine does it too it’s normal for the 8 speed tranny but if u feel somethings wrong take it in it’s a brand new truck it’ll be covered
Javier Hernandez I think all ZF 8 speeds have this issue. I had a 2014 ram 1500 as well as a 2016 charger RT and it did it in both vehicles. I don't think it's necessarily an issue but it did bother me quite a bit
Sport model offers more bang for your buck. I like the Bighorn because you can get it with the V6. But, you lose out on the adaptive cruise control which is not available in this model.
Ask and ye shall receive. I’ve added the window sticker to the truck in the description of the video. To make it easier for you, the link is also below. Window Sticker: ibb.co/f8GCwU
Hey Brad, I agree - vehicles are quite pricey these days! Thankfully the seats are heated and quite plush. The longest trip we’ve taken with the truck was ~8 hours round trip and neither of us had any issues along the way. Yes, leather would be a nicer, but there is one solid perk with cloth. We live in Michigan, so we have some pretty warm summers, and frigid winters, and the seats are never hot to the touch, or cold when you get in after a long day at work. The main downside we’ve found so far is we have to be cautious in not marking up the seats while using it. In example, jumping in the seat to move the truck while your clothes are dirty from working around the yard. Thank you for watching!
I research the hell out of everything before I spend my money on it and I've watched plenty of reviews on this truck as well as others. This is the most enjoyable and most helpful review I've come across thus far. Thank you for this.
So how do you like the truck?
Did you buy it ?
In my opinion RAM/FCA absolutely killed it with this thing.
This is one sharp looking truck!
Was given one as a rental. Now I'm looking to buy one. I'm in love with the Ram!
Ram has the best deals on there trucks in the market,,,just sold my 2011 sport and got a 20 ram bighorn with the panaramic sunroof and the 12 in radio,,it is the best riding and preforming truck i have had!!!this is my 4TH Ram and continue to really like them,,Keep up the good work!!!!
What a killer ride. Love the new RAM truck. Looks the best out of all the trucks on the market for sure and having that HEMI sets it right over the top.
Best truck on the market
That truck looks awesome in white with the sport appearance package.
Thank you! We found it be a great combo as well! It has a great balance of chrome and body colors. We’ve found RAMS of the past to either have too much chrome or none at all which led to it looking like a “work” (base) truck.
Ford makes a better sport package in white to me. Dodge interior is top dog tho especially the big screen.
Man im looking at this kind of pickup today! Good vid bud. I feel ya about the Fords eco boost. Had bad experience with those motors.
with how high gas prices are getting I had to sadly get out of my 2020 big horn. I don't work construction anymore and don't use the trunk that often so it started to hurt when I was filling up over $150 a tank lol. I enjoy driving and it's sad that the gas prices made me begin to hate driving. Ended up getting into a fuel efficient small luxury suv. The fuel economy is great but man oh man do I miss my beastly ram lol
You should consider doing reviews of all sorts of vehicles. Best review on UA-cam
I own a 2019 Ram 1500 bighorn, i made a big mistake by getting the 3.6L V6. It averages around 18mpg, i highly recommend getting the HEMI.
Thanks for the heads up!!!!!
Well the 3.6 makes more power than my 2001 Dakota 4.7 liter of 235/235 with about the same MPG. You didn't make a mistake. My 19 Ram is only getting 14.5 on a good day with the hemi.
Bert Kelly I got the 3.6 as well. Guy at work has the hemi gets 14 mpg roughly. I’ve seen as high as 20 but mostly hover around 18 too.
Getting 18.5 in a 2021 Laramie Hemi, our 2020 Jeep GC Pentastar hovers around 20. Both great vehicles and I enjoy them thoroughly.
Apex Reviews... one of the best show and tells out there! Nicely done! Thanks
Best review. Test drove this last night. Awesome vehicle. Didn't know about this sport PKG with sunroof. Got to have. Thanks 😊
The 2019 Redesigned Ram is way better looking exterior design than the 2019 Silverado ....
martin joseph what do you like?
I think that the prius looks better than the silverado
Completely agree. Having a hard time picking between a bighorn or an SLE. I’m honestly torn. Help me!
@@jeffjacobson59 I just got a 2019 Lone Star Sport, mine is a 4x2 but I never do any off roading. I have the Pano Sunroof, 8.4" Uconnect, and E-torque. I am absolutely in love with this truck you will not regret buying one if you are in the market for a new truck.
Jeff Jacobson I hope you picked that ram. !???
I’ve always been more of a GM guy but I LOVE the new ram 1500 as well as the 2018 Ford F-150. I haven’t been pleased with what GM has to offer lately.

I'm going this wkend to buy one. This is the Exact one I want. Color, and all that came with this one. Great vid dude!!!
Thank you Moe! I think you're going to love your new RAM! We've driven ours ~16,000 miles so far and haven't had a single issue. I find it quite fascinating how much pickup trucks have changes over the past 10 years. In most trims, they're no longer the "bare bones" utility vehicles they used to be. They're still quite capable, but they're also able to be quite luxurious as a daily driver. As you can see in todays market, the pricing surely reflects these luxuries too! Hopefully you're able to get a good deal!
I wish you the best in your search!

@@ApexReviewsOfficial Thx Apex. I'm looking forward to it. I like the white.
@@ApexReviewsOfficial Well I know on Monday if I got it. I believe I do. The Laramie was actually a couple thousand cheaper cause it a quad cab. Which will be fine with me cause I rarely have people with me. So I'll let you then. When it becomes official.
That big horn is pretty well equipped
Another good review. 👍🏾
I've been test driving Big horns for the last 3 months. Ended up picking up a Laramie Sport for $15 ,000 under msrp, $54,490 -- $39,490. Couldn't pass it up.
U got a great deal
@@ralphphillips5763 thanks. My hope is....... longevity. I keep my vehicles for 10+ years. Time will tell.
HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT!!
@@iivanTV purchased is Des Moines area. Didn't even talk them down. It was the advertised price. Other parts of the country had similar deals a while back.
Rented a Laramie for 4 days and BLEW ME AWAY. This truck drives and rides better than most cars. I literally didn't want to give it back. Happened to drive by a small Dodge dealership where we were vacationing and a Big Horn Ed was 25 PCT off MSRP for $28k which is an absurd price for what you get and how well the vehicle performs- was all I could do not to just tell my GF she was driving the rental back and I would drive the new truck
Nice review!! Subscribed. I enjoy your reviews. That is the EXACT truck I want, even the color!
Hats off to Ram for keeping cd player where as gm cut another corner to save cost.
Cds are so 20 years ago. Who uses them anymore?
@@joshuawest6097 Anyone who isn't to lazy to actually own physical media. Kind of tells you about the people today doesn't it.
I use cds. I’m 39 and I’ve never once downloaded a song. Honestly, I don’t know how. I also don’t have a Facebook or Twitter account and have never been on those websites. Last of a breed I guess. I’m just saying not everyone is obsessed with technology. Hell, I wish they would make vehicles without “infotainment “ stuff. I have no use for it. I don’t really enjoy these fancy cameras and what have you either. I would love to be able to get a luxury truck without that stuff for a nice discount, but I’m living in a fantasy world. There have to be more people like me that don’t care the slightest about this stuff. I listen to talk radio for Christ’s sake! What’s wrong with me?
Awesome truck!! Enjoyed the review!!
Thank you Justin! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I just ordered this trim only in black with the Etorque option. Can't wait to get it.
I think ram has the best value for a truck. cool features and everything.
Terrific review 👍. Nicely done.
Thank you for the feedback Black Paw!
I have a 19 Limited and I LOVE it. It really is an awesome truck.
Nice review best truck on the market. Could you try and make a video of it towing? That’d be awesome
The add on prices for options on this truck can be astronomical. LED light package is a grand. 20 inch wheels, $1600, etc. Bedliner group $800, etc. I love the truck, but you can EASILY overspend by $3-6000 just for the handful of stuff on a particular truck at the dealership. These are items that you might not necessarily order if you built it from scratch. And the dealers know it. The packages are confusing too. Some options require that you add others, etc. It can get quickly get confusing in one-thousand dollar chunks I suggest that you look CAREFULLY at the window sticker and itemize everything before you stroke that check. I offered 40K for a truck with 42.8K price tag (after RAM and dealer incentives). My goal was to pay no more than 41K. They didn't come off their price one penny. So I walked. They never called. I later found out from a different dealer that the MORE expensive ones are flying off the lot, so they have no interest in losing money on one. Love the truck, and I will get one but I can wait. The Ram incentives are already almost a grand more today than they were when I was looking in August of 18.
Steve go buy on Black Friday. You’ll get a much better deal.
Hey man! Great video! How are you liking this truck still? I’m about to pull the trigger on a 2020 ram big horn and I just want to see how people are liking their rams still. Thank you!
I love my 2020 big horn. It’s a nicer package than this one. But I would change anything if I could.
i love the look of color matched bumper. What trips come with color matched bumpers.
I have a 19 bighorn it's the best truck I ever owned. I had 12 Silverado and a 15 Silverado. Although the 15 Silverado was a nice truck. The ram is much better. What a great ride. Especially on the 7 hour ride to my lake house. 5.7 hemi and 21.7 mpg on the highway. I also have the crome package. ,,, someone order my truck and never picked it up. So I got a really good price. On it. And paid cash out the door.
Great job on the review - great to hear from an owner.
Got to give ram it's due(i'm a chevy guy), it hit a home run with this new model! I will wait until enough of these get on the used lots before getting one!
Flawless!!!!!! I want that in either black, or navy blue.
James Clark Navy Blue!!!
Outstanding Review!!
What was the MSRP sticker price and how much did you end up paying out the door.
I have this same truck but mine is a custom bighorn. I love it!
I LIKE THIS TRUCK co worker has 2018 big horn, really nice inside, rides amazing quiet. i like gm but they ride little rougher.
Only think I don’t like is if you have beer in that rear ram bin, how am I supposed to grab one when I’m driving?
Myballsitchsomethingfierce good thought itchy balls
John Gallo correction, nothing better than being between the legs of a ice cold one
omfg
That's why you opt for the power rear window. So you can crawl out at a stop light and grab the beer.
Drinking and driving, If you want to put an end to you’r life, and the lives of others. This is easy to do. Continue flirt with drinking and driving.
Maybe luck and end up telling a judge you’r sad story. Odds are close to
not being so lucky. This is where reality takes over. The end result of playing with fire, you get burned. Try being in a wheelchair for the rest of life. The easy ultimate, a custom made wooden box a nice coffin custom for driving and drinking, DUI.
You want to drink, stay off of the road !!
This new RAM is spedomenal !!! (16:18)
This was by far one of the best reviews I've seen on this truck. I'm upgrading my 2013 Ram for this model. Question do you know if you can upgrade your head unit for the new 12 inch heat unit?
Beautiful truck. Question is, when will things start going wrong? The noises? Issues with things breaking. Dodge/Ram always had a better bang for the buck and drove comfortably. The problem was reliability. Really love the look and am considering purchasing one but I may be leaning towards the Nissan Titan for the reliability factor. I need a truck that I can own for as long as possible without headaches.
I'm on my third Ram with no major issues, my 1995 I had to put 3 water pumps in. I'm guessing it was cheap parts from Mexico. My 2005 was flawless and got 150k on it before I sold it. Currently driving a 14 with the zf 8 speed transmission and wow, what a fantastic transmission and motor combo.
I like the subtle led drl’s they aren’t blinding while parked unlike my neighbors f250 [ ] drl’s which roasts my corneas every morning while waiting at the bus stop.
Haha, that's a great comment Jeff! I agree, DRLs are a "less is more" thing for me.
It’s really nice and honestly sells itself
Love the truck, tried to build it on website, but didn't offer the options you have 🤔. Maybe it's a regional thing, I live in Florida, but did not have the sunroof option and maybe some other things on the Bighorn trim. Could you review your sticker by chance???
Geovanis, I do believe the incentives were for the Great Lakes Bay region. After reviewing our numbers again, I remembered that we also had a lease conquest rebate added in as well.
As and ye shall receive! Below is a copy of the window sticker for this exact truck. I found that you couldn’t add the sunroof to the Big Horn on their online tool as well. I’m thinking someone in the IT group is slacking. 😀

@@ApexReviewsOfficial I noticed even the sound system I wasn't able to do. yeah I don't know what the difference is but thank you I appreciate it when I'm ready to hit the dealer if it's not available I'll take that information. Happy Trails enjoy the truck it's beautiful.
I literally have a sugar daddy and I asked him for the new 2020 RAM. And he got me a bright red 2020 RAM 1500 Big Horn with the Sport Package! It doesn't have LED lights but I don't know if I can go to the RAM dealership and install options after owning the truck.
Any unusual wind noise or leaks from the sunroof? Beautiful truck by the way, I have been looking around at the Laramie package with the color matched grille and bumpers.
Love the truck, the redesign is nice
Looks like something the White Power Ranger would drive. 😏😁 Nice truck though. I had a 2007. It was great. 👍
This is my future truck right here. Not feeling the 2019 Silverado and amazing value with the Ram.
tuscaniman25 I’m torn between the two. Here in Texas Chevy is more common but idk ram interior is nice.
I dont care what people say about the new ram I want it
I just traded my 15 ford f150 2.7l ecoboost for a 2019 ram with 5.7l hemi, and I have to say that the 2.7l has more seat of the pants power due to the amount of low end torque it has. my old 2.7l had the 3.55 gears and my new ram has the 3.21 gears. they actually get about the same gas mileage for me (mostly highway), 18.5 for the ecoboost an 18.2 for the hemi. I decided to go with the ram because of all of the features you get for the price, and without the e-torque, the hemi has less potential issues that could happen. the place I bought it from bundles a lifetime powertrain warranty with all used vehicles they sell... that was another reason.
how was the outside noise on this truck especially on highway?
Are those the stock 18" wheels that come with the sport? Looks great.
Love the new ram .
Great video and evaluation...thanks
Im looking to replace my 2011 Buick Regal Turbo. Almost ready to pull the trigger on the ram
I've looked at all the 2019 Rams up to the Limited. All of them are nice, but I think this Big Horn Sport package is the best looking of them all. These wheels are the best looking (to me) and these headlights are better looking than the Longhorn and Limited. I'm gonna get this exact package and maybe add Katskin leather seat covers. Best bang for the buck in my humble opinion.
So why do the 1500's have a flat floor in the back and the 2500's have the raised center bump in the floor? I want a 2500 but hate that the back floor is not flat.
I hope they have improved on the MDS system, my 2016 has had issues going from 4 to8 cylinders very rough sounds like its misfiring and since it doesn't set off a check engine light the dealer said its normal.This has been happening since new. Thinking of switching to chevy or ford.
Really loved your review! I've been reviewing for a new truck purchase. I think I found my new truck. You mentioned that you tow your RV trailer. How much does your trailer weigh and how does this truck feel towing it? I have a new RV, 25ft. 4700 lbs. I'm thinking this truck will be plenty good enough! Just need the side step up rails, deal! Thanks...
How much was this trim.
I'm curious how much did you pay for this big horn I have the same exact truck in Laramie trim paid 51,000 but do not have the panoramic sunroof a little disappointed about that although I do have heated and cooled leather seats along with the 12in screen
Definitely want to see the 2019 2500s
Looks nice. Wish I could afford one...
Does it come with auto start/stop and if yes, can you disable it? Thanx
First off, great username!
Secondly, no this particular truck (5.7L w/out eTorque) does not have auto start/stop; however, if we were to have elected the eTorque in either the V6 or V8 , it would have. Thankfully you can disable it with a button by the gear selector, but you would have to do this each time you started the truck.
Great review well done!
The folding rear arm rest drives you bonkers? Type A?
was thinking gettin a 2022 WHITE bighorn........i love this 4 th generation shape much better then the 2015/16 its much nicer and more classy in my opinion...........beautiful truck,..........and these 5.7 is like bulletproof engine.........cool review.........u shuld get a go pro or somehting with a suction cup....it feel likes ur in a plane....makieing me dizzy.....when u shitfing....like a plane on a bank angle....LOL
How much $$$
Beautiful... am I the only one who really worries about the electronics
In these TRUCKS.. 5 -7 years from now still making payments, and truck has major malfunctions..
Still making payments and dealer saying.. WE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT
Thanks for that input Mike.....I'm looking for a new truck and I'm thinking of the F-250 or this but of course money will help decide also. I've heard before that the electronics have caused problems in these trucks.
@@MegaScorpio43 all the new trucks have electronic issues, they don't make them like they used to.
my hate for the ford ecoboots isnt about exhaust sound. its about turbos. i want less things that will break, to an extent. when you need to replace that turbo(s) the cost you saved in fuel isnt gonna matter when you have an expensive repair bill you have to pay all the sudden.
When I'm backing out of my driveway with my 2019 1500 Ram Big Horn once in a while the emergency brake light come on and stop me and there's nothing there behind me should I take it to the dealer or am I doing something wrong
Joan Aubry are you backing up with the door open?
I just picked up the 2020 and same thing happened. I went to setting and shut it off. It would be a great feature if it worked right. But I was backing into my Sons driveway when it slammed the brakes on leaving my front half of the truck in the road. Ticked me right off cuz it could have caused an accident for no reason. There was nothing behind me.
looks like the "starWars" edition
I have a stormtrooper license plate on the front of mine.
Are they rust proof ? I see a lot of trucks rusted out after eight years !
I really like the new ram design other than that divot in the middle of the grill it really bugs me
Help!
New owner of a 2019 1500 big horn , is there anyway to open the doors without having to physically press the key fob? I’ve been trying to figure this out
Only if you have keyless entry
Mine is like yours it wont. If it has a key hole
Ok question to owners of 2020 Rams. So has anyone had their arm resting on the window opening near over the door lock and gotten the ole pinch when the power locks snap down at about 12 mph? And what's the deal with the dash lights? They are either blinding bright or dark! No in between. I solved the door lock arm pinch by shutting off the auto lock but would have been better to have the option for it to lock when putting into drive. But that instrument light stinks!
How do you like the towing mirrors when towing your rv. How do they compare to the towing mirrors on the ford or Chevy?
William, I can't comment on the Ford or Chevy since I didn't get a chance to tow with either truck. I like these mirrors since they're not your typical "tow" mirror in size but still allow for a good field of view while towing. When the RV is hooked up, I'm able to see if traffic is approaching or is next to the trailer quite easily. I can't see the entire lane, but I can at least see ~2/3's which is more than enough to make a calculated lane change. If you're towing a 5th wheel or perhaps even towing often, I would probably recommend the tow mirrors, but for someone that tows every month or so, these were adequate for us.
Also, if you have a truck and an SUV parked in a standard two car garage, the mirrors will be quite close. With the RAM having power folding mirrors, it makes things a little easier for the two of us while getting in and out of the cars. Just thought I'd share some real life experiences!
Saddle interior? Epoxy topped steering wheel? Front & rear cameras?
How did you get a BigHorn with the Panoramic sunroof?!
I just bought a 2019 ram 1500 laramie, and i'm having issues when stopping and accelerating, as soon as i step on the gas i feel like a bump or like someone rear ended me, it doesn't do it all the time usually the first few stops after pulling out of my driveway. Also the shifting i don't know if it's just me but sometimes i feel like it shifts too quick it's annoying and i'm really dissapointed, i have to get it checked out :(
Javier Hernandez the 8 speed auto shifts fast. My 2017 has the same lil bump your talking about. Took it to the dealer numerous times and they said its fine. Dosen't even bother me now
My dad has one . Sometimes something pops when u cold start it. Even when driving it something pops
transmission yoke does this it can be lubricated to stop this but it will return. not a big deal nothing is actually wrong with the vehicle just a perception.
I have the same transmission in my 16 bighorn it shifting quick is actually better for the life of the transmission and for fuel savings if u put it in tow/haul mode it get really really snappy especially with weight behind it just letting u know mine does it too it’s normal for the 8 speed tranny but if u feel somethings wrong take it in it’s a brand new truck it’ll be covered
Javier Hernandez I think all ZF 8 speeds have this issue. I had a 2014 ram 1500 as well as a 2016 charger RT and it did it in both vehicles. I don't think it's necessarily an issue but it did bother me quite a bit
The Ram is definitely the best value in the segment.
Sport model offers more bang for your buck. I like the Bighorn because you can get it with the V6. But, you lose out on the adaptive cruise control which is not available in this model.
I like this one but you can't get a panoramic sunroof just a standard sunroof . You have to go the next trim up and I hate that.....
Odd that the DRL doesn't turn off when a signal is activated. I thought that was the standard now.
It would be nice if you could add the FCA window sticker. FCA charges 500.00 extra for just the white color. look awesome!
Ask and ye shall receive. I’ve added the window sticker to the truck in the description of the video. To make it easier for you, the link is also below.
Window Sticker: ibb.co/f8GCwU
Your link for the sticker price does not work for me.
@@1gr8oil I just used the link myself and it worked for me.
Also, just to note, FCA doesn't charge $500 for the Bright White paint code.
A luxury utility vehicle. Awesome
Cloth seats for that kind of money? Are they at least going to be comfortable for long road trips?
Hey Brad, I agree - vehicles are quite pricey these days! Thankfully the seats are heated and quite plush. The longest trip we’ve taken with the truck was ~8 hours round trip and neither of us had any issues along the way. Yes, leather would be a nicer, but there is one solid perk with cloth. We live in Michigan, so we have some pretty warm summers, and frigid winters, and the seats are never hot to the touch, or cold when you get in after a long day at work. The main downside we’ve found so far is we have to be cautious in not marking up the seats while using it. In example, jumping in the seat to move the truck while your clothes are dirty from working around the yard.
Thank you for watching!
I'm not into pick-ups but that thing is sweet.
My brother just bought the 2020 Ram Bighorn. Is it any different than this 2019?
Can you get the Bighorn without the big hole in the roof?
Just purchased a very similar packaged RAM, have you had any issues ?
No issues so far Nick! We have ~5,000 miles on the truck and it's been trouble free. Congratulations on your new truck!
I have this exact model and have 2,000 miles now and no problems at all
