I am in the 'tire kicking' phase of picking out the next truck I will get to replace my 2007 Silverado which will have well over 200K miles. After months of pouring over messages in forums it is shocking that the new Toyota Tundra, Nissan Titan and Ford F150 have so many issues so I started looking at the Ram and was surprised to see that Consumer Reports gives it a recommended flag. The features the Ram offers is outstanding, looking forward to purchasing one.
We have the same story. I purchased a Longhorn and so far so good. The only issue I have had is a dead battery which is troubling. There are so many sensors and unnecessary accessories that no one would use who knows where the power drain is coming from. Unless you perform a complete diagnostics which requires OEM tools. $$$ and more $$$ RAM is a good company overall. Good luck internet stranger.
This was great to see. Do a parallel parking demo! This really supports my hunting for a RAM 1500 Limited with Level 1 vs. a 2023 Ford where they deleted the Parking Assist.
"Now, keep in mind, you might want to keep your foot on the break. We're not Tesla or anything" lol! Loved that, though I wouldn't even trust a Tesla alone so brazenly either lol Always be mindful~
I loved that comment, as well, although as a Tesla owner since 2014 I’ve been using it’s self-park for 7 years and have yet to scratch my car or hit anything around me. I trust it implicitly. Happy to see Ram moving in the same direction and I intend to test my 2021 Ram’s ability to self-park.
That's amazing. Fun video. I'm writing just after you let it park in that tight spot so am finishing the video. This is great. If it can do that, it's lane assist should be WAYYYYY better than it is. My lane assist on a 2300 Longhorn is deadly.
I have a 2002 Dodge Ram and I have been doing that for years with just using the mirrors and got it into tighter spots that that. No fancy computer gizmos to aid in your driving other than ones own eyes and using the mirrors like most should do.
If parking is such a Big problem for people, how about just practicing! You’ll get it, there won’t be a strange lawsuit pending when the auto pilot F’s up and you think IT should incur the bill. Focus on more important improvements. People been parking FOREVER! Gas mileage,...for a truck? Always room for improvement. And I like the door-ding comment too.
I have a 2020 1500 Limited and have used this feature half a dozen times or so and find that I cannot read the messages on the dash depending upon the steering wheel positions which makes me nervous. You still have to watch very carefully and make sure speed is low enough to control the truck.
I have Lane sense and self parking in my 2019 laramie so i assumed it would come with the 360 camera since every video i seen had it, but i was wrong lol still love my truck though
That is a real cool feature but will it sense another truck's mirror where it's parking and avoid hitting it especially if it's parking next to a truck with tow mirrors and will this system work with a lifted truck once you install big wheels and aftermarket bumpers
The feature will work if lifted and aftermarket bumpers as long as they fit the equipment. The parking will become less precise and take a few more turns to park. It does notice anything sticking out with it will notice a mirror and avoid it.
Wow! Amazing! Is that you use of gas pedal and break?when it found of vacant parking for parking assist or you use it pedal and break when it tell warning?it's great I like that pick up very nice.
You just use the break when it tells you too or you feel like you need to. It’s a great feature for a big truck even if you just use it as a party trick! Godspeed brother!
the most dangerous feature on a ram IMO. won't find multiple empty spaces only those with a vehicle on either side. the stop indicator is usually obscured by the steering wheel. with all the braking sensors there's no reason why park sense can't brake itself. almost hitting a parked car twice while backing at an angle is reason enough to park it yourself using the backup camera
Went to look at a TRX and I don’t know if it’s different where you are but here in Europe you can’t get it on the TRX. The only thing that annoys me, is that they decided to just put a blank button in a €100k+ truck, lol.
The main reason I have heard of this problem in the past is that you have to be within 4 feet of the line of cars you are trying to park with. Past that range it rarely picks up the spots. I have had a similar issue showing some customers in the past.
Nice video! I am wondering did you apply the brake to control the speed during the parking process, or the truck will just do everything for you (e.g., auto brake)?
@@GodspeedZRZ Thanks for the confirmation bro. I just got a new ram 1500 and was playing with it today. It almost hit another car before I applied the brake...
Damn , my 2022 Laramie reverses camera guide lines don’t move when you move the steering wheel!!! Wonder if that’s normal or if I didn’t get the right package. Or it’s broke
Seriously? In 2020 this technology was already at least 6 years old. My 2014 VW Tiguan has it as standart feature and you dont have to wait until it tells you to shift to reverse or drive if its too tight it will just take a few more turns .....
I love technology but I just can't let my car drive for me trust issues here from a safe driver only car accident I been in was that someone almost killed me .
I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS IN A SENSE OF SELF PARKING SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE ROOM FOR ERROR ON A MACHINE LIKE THAT IS SO MINNIMAL. HOWEVER I HAVE BEEN WRONG BEFORE!
That’s just really sketchy lol. The amount of time it takes to park the truck I would have parked it myself twice 😆 it takes to long to park itself!! Other drivers will definitely be honking at you lol. By the way do you work in car sales?? That’s what I used to do off/on for many years!!! Nevertheless some people really need help I suppose parking.
You are right haha and some people definitely do need it 😅 I started out as a sales person in the car business about five years ago and I’m in finance now!
@@GodspeedZRZ awesome Zac 👍 looks like you achieved a lot at your young age. That’s so cool. Maybe I should hit you up if I want another Jeep lol. Exactly where are you in Tennessee🤔 well you’re definitely doing something right I’m sure during the pandemic you made quite a bit of money selling cars all my friends did lol that’s so awesome.
I am actually working at an import store in the Nashville area. I will say the Covid years have been good to me haha even now with the shortage on everything we still find a way to make the money! It’s definitely been a wild ride to jump into the business right before it hit to get a baseline of what the car business is and then get the whole business turned upside down with the pandemic!
@@GodspeedZRZ That is awesome 👏 finance is a good position to have at a good dealership you can make some money. Keep the videos coming. Anything I need to know about the Jeep I know who to hit up 👍
If you can't park your own vehicle, you shouldn't be driving. I would have parked it myself 5 times in the same amount of time. BTW, enjoy the door dings.
What’s your point. It’s still a pointless option on any car especially when u have to keep shifting the gear. I’m am aware it’s not a Tesla I have that truck
@@Mr2323Hoffman as the old saying goes “you have to walk before you can run” this is the first steps for the truck industry. Its progression and for that we should be grateful.
I am truly saddened that someone could not park their truck he would think they would take pride in their good driving habits and be able to do the skill

Great job, hope every Valet is watching this !
😂😂 thanks for watching!

Glad you got some value from this!
While this is amazing technology, I will still be parking my $70k truck far away from everyone else 😉.. That's too tight 😊
I stand by that decision 100%
😅 Absolutely!! I could trust the vehicle more than the people I park next to.
"Now, keep in mind, you might want to keep your foot on the break. We're not Tesla or anything" lol! Loved that, though I wouldn't even trust a Tesla alone so brazenly either lol

@@rhumbliner It's nice to hear your experience with Tesla. I would love to hear how your Ram fares!
I hope its not a Tesla! Tesla's have a tendency to kill people.
Haven't used that option once, and I have a 2020 Ram 1500 Limited Black Edition. May try it one day🤔
You will have to try it out!
That's amazing. Fun video. I'm writing just after you let it park in that tight spot so am finishing the video. This is great. If it can do that, it's lane assist should be WAYYYYY better than it is. My lane assist on a 2300 Longhorn is deadly.
I know exactly what you mean, they are very far sighted haha thanks for watching!
Do you realize that you can adjust your "deadly" lane assist to where it is not as dramatic of a shift?
Amazing. I’ll give it a try, but not so tight, I’d be door dinged for sure. Haha
😅😂😂
That's cool! My friends F150 hit a van trying to do that. I was like, what the hell, so much for Ford's system.
😂😂 Ford is always coming out with new features so the owner can work on them more! Godspeed brother!
Great post and great demo!!!
Thank you for watching!
For a 5thgenram truck, all you need is a football field and you are good to go.
😂😂 you’re spot on, Godspeed brother!
My Jeep has it, and I love it
It’s an awesome feature for sure?? I hat Jeep do you have?
@@GodspeedZRZ 2019 High Altitude
Those are awesome, would love to have on in the garage!
thanks for doing that. just got a new 2022 ram rebel
Glad I could help, Godspeed brother!

I like it, all they need is a little practice. Thanks for watching!
Did someone bring the gas can? LOL Nice video thanks. Ok that was impressive.
Many vehicles with self-parking shift from forward to reverse for you, apply the brakes, everything. You just sit there.
Back when this was filmed most didn’t especially FCA products haha
I have a 2020 1500 Limited and have used this feature half a dozen times or so and find that I cannot read the messages on the dash depending upon the steering wheel positions which makes me nervous. You still have to watch very carefully and make sure speed is low enough to control the truck.
That’s exactly right! It’s an awesome feature but I believe it’s more for showing off to your friends than anything haha I hope you liked the video!
RISE OF THE MACHINES...RUN AND DON'T LOOK BACK!!!
You are telling the truth! Godspeed brother!
I have Lane sense and self parking in my 2019 laramie so i assumed it would come with the 360 camera since every video i seen had it, but i was wrong lol still love my truck though
Awesome trucks! Godspeed brother!
I can never park a $70K truck in any tight spots. I can trust the truck but not the next door human drivers.
Damn 3 years with my truck and I still haven’t figured out this function 😅😅😅
😅😂 you are not alone 😅😂

Omgosh I have a 2020 Laramie longhorn I can’t stand the anxiety of parking assist lol I paid way too much to risk getting dings from being to close
Haha it’s only for right spots but I’m 100% with you!
I’m good!! I’ll park it.
But when you can’t, it can haha
Wow! Amazing! Is that you use of gas pedal and break?when it found of vacant parking for parking assist or you use it pedal and break when it tell warning?it's great I like that pick up very nice.

Holly shit thats Amazing👍👍👍
Does the TRX have that option
It should since its based on the Limited
I don't believe the will put it on the Trx just simply because I don't think they would trust it enough hahaha
Went to look at a TRX and I don’t know if it’s different where you are but here in Europe you can’t get it on the TRX. The only thing that annoys me, is that they decided to just put a blank button in a €100k+ truck, lol.
I've had my 2020 for a year now and this option had never worked since day 1. It never finds an empty spot even though there's plenty of them.
The main reason I have heard of this problem in the past is that you have to be within 4 feet of the line of cars you are trying to park with. Past that range it rarely picks up the spots. I have had a similar issue showing some customers in the past.
Wow 🤩
Thanks for watching!
I just got a 2021 Laramie and was wondering how or if I can get the folding mirrors to fold when I lock the truck
Honestly you will need a little reflash like the tazer for the JL wrangler you just have to change the setting in the software 👍🏼
Cool👍🤝
It’s sure is!!
Why did the truck needed 2 attemps to park?
Just how it goes sometimes.
Nice video! I am wondering did you apply the brake to control the speed during the parking process, or the truck will just do everything for you (e.g., auto brake)?
You will need to brake, it will pop up on the dash and tell you when to use it. Thanks for watching!
@@GodspeedZRZ Thanks for the confirmation bro. I just got a new ram 1500 and was playing with it today. It almost hit another car before I applied the brake...
I did the same exact thing before I made this video 😂 I hope you enjoy that new ride, Godspeed brother!
Why can’t it find empty parking with out cars around
It was early tech at that point. That was when it first came out.
Do you mr preston 😂😂
🤔
This video is for those that don’t know how to drive
Or those who chose not to haha thanks for watching!

Damn , my 2022 Laramie reverses camera guide lines don’t move when you move the steering wheel!!! Wonder if that’s normal or if I didn’t get the right package. Or it’s broke
All you have to do is change you guide line settings, you have the option between stationary or your projected path!
Wow if that works , your the best !! Appreciate it
Glad to help, Godspeed brother!
Do u have to use the breake when the truck on the sound breake
Yes sir you do, it won’t apply the brake unless it needs to for emergency. Thanks for watching!
Seriously? In 2020 this technology was already at least 6 years old. My 2014 VW Tiguan has it as standart feature and you dont have to wait until it tells you to shift to reverse or drive if its too tight it will just take a few more turns .....
Took them a little longer to get it right in the big trucks like this, thanks for watching!
Im not parking my limited where I've got a better shit at getting door dings. Ill just walk a little further
At least it’s you can impress your friends 🤙🏼
@JuanitoMaxxCarnaje It's a great strategy to get extra movement in for sure. Win/win!
So only work at right side?not the left side?
Both sides!
I have to agree….It did a great job, but my Limited Longhorn will not be in a parking spot with Limited space….You seen what I did there? 🤣🤣
😂As it shouldn’t be, you are just asking to get your truck “Rammed” 😅 Godspeed brother!
So sorry, I accidently removed your last comment before I could read it!! Thank you for watching!
@@GodspeedZRZ was the joke that bad 😂😂😂
@@jersey07042 it was one of the best yet! 😆
@@GodspeedZRZ appreciate it bro 😎 and I did “like and subscribed”…God bless and keep it going!!

I’m with you haha but it is a cool trick!
I don’t think my 2024 ram 2500 has that option. Even if it did I would still do it myself
This is just for the 1500
What you don't tell us, and I'd like to know, is how far from the parked vehicles to you have to be before you can start the procedure.
Anywhere between 2-4 yards and it will pick up any free space!
@@GodspeedZRZ are parking space lines needed?
Trying ours out and it is not finding anything in a lot that does not have marked spots
More things to fix when they break.
Thank goodness for a 5yr 60k mile powertrain warranty and a 3 years 36k mile bumper to bumper warranty!
@@GodspeedZRZ Love the response to this hater haha. Mopar or no car!
@@GodspeedZRZ 60k isn't much, some people will hit that in 2 years, warranty over.
Wait until this malfunctions and you have no warranty ?? FUN !!
Like my last 15 vehicles? I wouldn’t do it if I couldn’t take care of it when it messes up, Godspeed brother!
Can qe choose left side?
Yes sir
You don't have the Elite option either. Shame...
This was before the elite was available I believe haha
Is the ram trx self driving
I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS IN A SENSE OF SELF PARKING SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE ROOM FOR ERROR ON A MACHINE LIKE THAT IS SO MINNIMAL. HOWEVER I HAVE BEEN WRONG BEFORE!
I have same truck just trx
Has yours already came in?
At this point I would just park it myself….
You and me both brother 😅
If you need this feature, you shouldn't be driving a truck!!
you definitely shouldn't need it but is cool to show your friends and freak them out haha
Meanwhile the guy behind you is walking towards you with a baseball bat because you've taken so long and tied up traffic.
lol Too funny!
Yeah I trusted it.
$5k later I don't trust it.
Oh no, what happened!
@@GodspeedZRZ getting a new bumper and taillight... :/ (and some paint)
Dang that’s tough!
If you need a self parking truck, buy a car instead.

Pointless option especially when u gotta keep shifting the gears
