I picked up my 2020 Ram Rebel 1500 because of watching your reviews and real world tests. Thanks for the hard work and dedication to give consumers like me a somewhat unbiased review and opinion on the meat and potatoes of these products. And to be honest, the only reason I picked a Ram Rebel is because of the 12inch screen. Everything else that was great about it was just icing on the cake.
I had my girl builded, I waited 10 weeks before picking her up. 2022 Rebel fully loaded top to bottom as my retirement gift with red trimming with black leather interior, and 12" display exterior color is black and white with graphic kit. When I finally picked up and saw her it was love at first sight. I named her Selene from the movie underworld it's a relationship made in heaven or hell LOL. Hopefully we will stay together for years to come.. 🇺🇲❤️
As an owner of a 2021 Rebel I’m partial. I did drive a 2021 Chevy Silverado with the 6.2 , prices and options close. The Chevy was slightly quicker , had much more torque. But I chose the Ram. Keep it up guys I enjoy your blogs
Awesome to see you guys expanding your reviews and informative content to the motorcycle community now! Cheers and rubber side down on the new channel! Great job as usual gents!
I have a 2019 Custom Trail Boss and I love it. It looks and performs just like the $55k LT Trail Boss, but without all the fancy features or luxury options, but I only paid $37k. For that price, I'll pick my truck all day.
I went with the LT Trail Boss. You couldn't get a Custom with the 6.2 in 2020. With kids and a dog, the leather interior is much better. I needed the console in the middle of the front seats instead of the folding third seat for things I need to keep with me. $51k well equipped before I added several thousand in accessories. I'm also very glad I have the 10-speed.
@@boostedbavarian people that want a better package with higher resale value. Unless it’s a specific option like the Torsen Front diff on a Raptor, options get you zero on trade in value, where as a package level difference bets a large improvement. Short to say a base upper level will save you more money over a fully optioned lower level.
I'm a Mopar guy but I love trucks from all brands. I wish I could somehow drive different ones all the time. Personally I feel Ram has the nicest interiors and innovative storage bins like the ones under the rear floor mats, the double glove boxes, optional Ram Boxes in the box sides etc. Ford has improved their interior for 2021. GM may want to invest in some nicer interior designs and materials too. The Ram back seat in the crew cab is a few inches larger than the Chevy that's why it has a shorter box.
Had a RAM 2017 didn't like the shifter. Found myself turning it while on the road by accident because I was looking for the volume. Screen to much for me. I like old school knobs and gauges. Oh and shifter. Lol. I do like the look of TB better imo. Corner step a must for me so I went back to Chevy.
@@m.brandon6544 you are not most people. You need to do better with your replies. After all, it's been 3 months since this conversation ended. You should seek attention elsewhere, offline.
Tough choice, I like them both but I got over 400k miles on my last ram and it still runs lol. Transmission just started slipping so I parked it. Now I’m trying to decide what to buy next. Great video, you guys were very informative. I’m probably gonna go with the ram.
True to that!!!! I also have a dodge ram 2005 with around 400k miles . Same transmission and same engine. Knock on wood everything is fine for now . I just recently got my ceramic gray rebel .. and I must say it’s a bad ass truck !!! I also had an old dodge ram Dakota 5.2 v8 with over 450k miles on it. Same engine I had to change the transmission though , but engine was great .
Go with the Ram. I have a 2019 Ram Big Horn with the Hemi and tow 95% of the time and have 28,000 miles on it in just one year without any failures. Love this truck
I have a 2018 Silverado with 70000 miles no issues. I also have a 2019 RAM with 33000 miles. The RAM has been ok but it's averaging 14 mpg mostly highway. Go with RAM if you want to get a truck which does not match advertised performance.
2019 Custom Trailboss purchased in July of 2019, now with 47k miles on it. Only problem I have had is the radio glitched 2 times and wouldn't turn off. I regularly tow 7000lbs+ and have had no reliability issues.
LMAO Andre! "Rebel 12 gives you this, the cool entertainment screen and giant...(pause)...um...you know...everything" I love it that you guys are real, not worried about editing, because it makes your videos fun.
I have owned 3 silverados since 1998....currently have a 2018 z71 and since GM keeps taking options away comparing the 2018 to the 2020.....honestly would have to take a very hard look at Rebel on my next purchase. The interior is hands down winner on Rebel and the infotainment screen, well that might seal the deal
For 55k price range, I can simply choose RAM Rebel but like Andre said the fuel efficiency isn't for everyone and also the air suspension setup on RAM is more comfy for daily pavement driving. Can you guys compare the newer model GMC Yukon AT4, Chevy Tahoe Z71, Sequoia TRD Pro, Land Rover Discovery or LR4, Lexus GX or LX, Ford Explorer, Acura MDX, Audi Q7, Volvo XC70, Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride? I think it's a good comparison idea just because some of us more into these type of suv as daily uses i.e. hauling groceries, a 55 gallon empty rain water barrel, some 6ft 2x4 wood or pvc pipes, transport kayak for 2, light off-roading, carry 2 dobermann dogs and most important is real world fuel efficiency. That'd be a good morning breakfast show and before shopping for next vehicle. Thank you 😊 💓
Long time Chrysler owner but I decided to go with the trail boss. Love the factory lift but initially I did miss the power of the hemi. Overall both of these trucks are beautiful with their obvious pros and cons. I gave in and bought a Chevy and so far I love it!!
Pulling the trigger on a new 2023 Rebel GT 5.7 Black on black ! Looked at a lot of other options but the Rebel really had the performance and capabilities I was looking for.
If you own a truck for 5 years....extra technology can be a problem. How long do you keep your phone and other techy stuff before issues? When that 12” display goes out, how much $$$$ to replace and hiw much functionality is lost if the truck isn’t worth the money to replace? One year ownership is not reality for many of us.
Thank you Tommy it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who dislikes the Catfish grill on the Rebel. I like that they tuned the catfish down on the T-Rex.
Ram Rebel with the 8.4 touch screen with the buttons for climate control etc. axle lock button huge bonus imo. As well a split tailgate, would be my choice
@@chrissnider9555 It was a great truck never had issues with it. I’d say as long as it has the 10 speed transmission and has had good consistent services as needed you should be alright. Mine was a 2020 and so that’s the model year I’d recommend also had 5.3 V8 which was great. Just do the scheduled maintenance as needed and should be pretty great vehicle for you.
Have been studying the Rebel for 6months. Test drove a Trail Boss and bought it. There both nice trucks!!! Had get used tho 55k is out of my range. Hope it works out!!
Haha, I’ve been debating which truck I want, my brother got a brand new 2021 rebel, I’ve been looking at a rebel, trail boss or an at4 and I’m struggling.. I’m thinking rebel or trail boss, did you test an at4 and if you did what was your opinion on it?
Did you test drive both befote making your purchase? IMO, GM has the most comfortable seats, but Ram is the only truck that switched to coil springs. The ride is so superior! My Rebel with towing package is awesome. I barely know the trailer is behind me. The 5.7 hemi is soooo much better then GM's 5.3. And GM 5.3 manifold bolts break all the time. GM is aware of the problem but looks the other way...shame on you.
Ram. I do own a 5th Gen so I am biased in this. However, my company truck is a TB and while it’s a very nice and capable truck, I can’t wait to take the RAM out of the garage, I get so excited to drive it still. Seriously though, this is all about user/owner preference, both are very nice, capable trucks.
It's not an "embarrassment" really... It's a damn truck, the chevys interior is well enough for a truck. But yes, compared to Ford and Ram, Chevy obviously isn't as nice in their luxury trims, but having a super nice interior shouldn't be a super overtalked area, for a truck.
Chevy.....I have a 2019 LTZ and love it, As Tommy says the interior is not as fancy but it works perfectly and I agree. My neighbor has the Ram and I have been in it and drove it, once you get past the fancy interior, the Chevy is a far better truck.
I bought the ram and loved it. I was bored one day and test drove the chevy for the sake of curiosity. I now own the chevy and have to intentions of going back to ram. I know the chevy isn't as fancy on the inside but honestly that's part of why I like it so much.
Ppl make fun of ram engine bays saying that there’s too much room / waste of space, but I work on my Ram 1500s and I really appreciate the space so I don’t cut my hands as much and can fit my arms in the tight areas to access bolts etc.
Biggest standout for me is the interior. Both trucks do most things well. Tow haul etc. but man GM and their short comings on their interiors. It’s not bad , it’s just bland.
Ram for me. I've had mine for 5 months, and love it. I drove a Silverado, but I can't get past the looks, cheap interior, and couldn't find one made in the US.
I have a 5.7 8 speed and get 22mpg all day long. I drive in easy hills, then in town, then on terrible efficiency highway due to mostly uphill for my commute.
Sherry Muckleston premium is recommended but not required. It would be for the best do use premium for optimum performance, etc. I know several people who use regular 87 and have no issues.
@@HRCfan17 That's the issue, especially if you happen to run into problems if you've run 87 in it against the recommendation of GM and you gotta get it fixed. There's always a chance something like that happens I gues...
I love driving trucks around 90% of the time because am scared driving a small car after being in a four way accidents...10% of the time..am picking things up at home depot and towing my boat in the summer..
I am on my second Ram and I love everything about it, except that it only comes with four standard tie downs in the bed. Every time I haul stuff I am reminded of that. Chevy did that better. As for everything else, I love the Ram. I just got back from a 2500 mile multi-state drive, hauling stuff part of the way, and the comfort, the power, the utility are all excellent. If I were in the market today I would trade for another Ram 1500 with the 5.7. However, I am leaning toward a diesel next time and everything I hear suggests the Duramax is a better choice. I'll have to research that one carefully when that day comes.
Love the video..love the Ram..if fuel mileage is a concern get a diesel..what’s the mileage then..I don’t worry about mileage...I care about power..if I wanted mileage go buy a Prius...lol
Why not get both?? My ideal transportation situation would be a 3500 Ram diesel 4x4 with a leveling kit at 35” BFG all terrains with high clearance steel bumpers and air lockers front and rear and a c6 z06 corvette with tons of mods and a Toyota Corolla for everyday driving
I’ve owned both trucks and liked them both but when it comes down to it I’d have to go Ram. The amount of money that pickup trucks are going for today they better have the best updated interior. If you’re going to say old school interior then it should have an old school price 🇺🇸
I think the ram looks like a 55k truck where the chevy looks like a 35k truck that they are charging 55k for and thats not trying to take a swip at chevy .I like both would own either one but id go for the ram at that price point of 55k its about what you get for the price tag.
My Trail Boss is nicer and better equipped than TFL's, and I got it for $51k. Price was not negotiable since GM gives a discount for first responders. Police, fire, healthcare, and military all get the same deal. TFL was telling you MSRP, not the accustomed prove these trucks are selling for. The real tell tale is that you can't find a Chevy at the dealerships. They are selling very fast. Ram dealerships still have inventory.
My Rebel has all the tech one could ever want, it rides so well and the panoramic sunroof makes every drive a joy! Tech, comfort, power, reliablity but a bit thirsty.... I haven't seen or driven anything I'd rather have instead and the kids love it.
The Trail Boss is a cheap add-on package to any Silverado trim, just a cheap G80 locker, 32" tires, a 2" front lift spacer and a black grill. The RAM Rebel is a complete model and off-road package on arguably the best line of trucks currently in production. So yeah, I would get the Rebel with it's true e-locker, Bilstein tuned suspension, 33" tires, fully to itself exterior & interior details.
To get that miles per gallon in the ram you need to be really easy on the title and follow the speed limit to a T I’ve got a 5.7 2019 they are really nice trucks I’ve got 200 thousand km so far I’ve had to replace wheel bearings and an alternator , the wheel bearings was my own fault for riding around with 3 inch wheel spacers then I got the offset rims for the stance i wanted. I owned the truck since new 740km I got the truck . What I need to do to my truck now is all fluids change transmission rear axle I think I may need rear shocks also but all round I love the ram so many more upgrades
My 04 Silverado was such a great truck, I'll always route for the Chevy. As far as I know, my old Silverado is still on the roads with a new owner, prob over 300k miles now.
The rebel runs the 3.92 gears from the factory so thats going to affect gas mileage alot. Trailboss has way smaller gears, thats why that trailboss has better gas mileage.
I believe you can get the ram rebel in a simpler version, with on par tech with the chevy and it would be cheaper than your version, To claim you like the simpler chevy but have to pay just as much is foolish, IMO. Good review.
@@bluephoenix383 yh, chevy fans keep saying "you dont need power to plz" or "chevy looks amazing" and it clearly shows in sales that non of that is true. They need to stop designing, go back and add power like stupid. Just LS3 all thier vehicles for 2022
Dude im not gonna lie the only thing i liked on the RAM was that big ass touch screen. That trail boss is too nice !! Plus great fuel efficiency for a beast of a truck that it is !!
Change the ranchos shocks and add 35” tires and it’s a different truck from first hand knowledge. Sure the Rams interior is better and newer but I have no complaints about my trailboss. It works. And no thank you for a rotary shifter, trucks need a Column shifter I don’t want a bmw shifter. TB for the win.
I own a 2021 Trail Boss and typically Dodge's seem a bit louder but I like the potency and decibel level of the Trail Boss more in this video. I propped the flapper valve open with two hose clamps and covered the resonator screens with exhaust tape and I'm very pleased with mine.. but the Trail Boss sounds louder in this video🤷♂️
I would definitely go with the Chevy. It’s why I’m planning to buy one when the year end discounts come around (2021). It’s an all around great vehicle. I don’t really care about all of the technology crap in other vehicles. Just more stuff to break. I prefer mine to be simple, affordable, but nice. That’s what Chevy is offering.
I think a better comparison would be the GMC AT4 and Rebel. The TrailBoss really only gives you the upgraded suspension, whereas the AT4 has a number of upgrades over the “standard” Sierra packages (much like the Rebel).
The battery and dipstick tests are very important in a truck... You have to check your oil (of course), but when you have a big truck, you have to be able to jump people off in the Walmart parking lot.... It makes you extra-handy, and that is what trucks are all about.
Ok...complete transparency...my Gen2 Raptor totally blows the dipstick test, I'm 6ft and can't reach it with out a small step stool...both truck lose the off road test - neither has a minimum 33" tire..and finally why do you guys always leave out gear ratios? (as delivered and optional) it's an off road truck, ratios matter! Enjoy watching you guys together, got some chemistry going on :)
Biggest thing I think everyone overlooking is the trail boss is the LT which is a base model of the truck… the rebel they are reviewing is not the base model an the trail boss LT still held up pretty good

@@josephwhiskeybeale no one has actual shifters. Even if the truck looks like it does. It doesn't, everyone has electronic shifters and gm was the first to use them. The I like the dial better after having one.
The "food processor" is what makes the RAM competitive.
Add a Mr Fusion and I'm all in...
I picked up my 2020 Ram Rebel 1500 because of watching your reviews and real world tests. Thanks for the hard work and dedication to give consumers like me a somewhat unbiased review and opinion on the meat and potatoes of these products. And to be honest, the only reason I picked a Ram Rebel is because of the 12inch screen. Everything else that was great about it was just icing on the cake.
Tommy, no one believes you would take the Chevy over the RAM. No one.
Many do actually...especially those who have driven both. the Ram doesn't drive well.
@@MrTaffiny1 I had a RAM 1500 with the coil spring suspension. It drove extremely well, with or without, a load.
Ram drives way better than Chevy in half and 3/4. Night and day difference
Noooo one
I m a chevy guy but this year i love the RAM looks..
I like that '55 GMC grille.
I had my girl builded, I waited 10 weeks before picking her up. 2022 Rebel fully loaded top to bottom as my retirement gift with red trimming with black leather interior, and 12" display exterior color is black and white with graphic kit. When I finally picked up and saw her it was love at first sight. I named her Selene from the movie underworld it's a relationship made in heaven or hell LOL. Hopefully we will stay together for years to come.. 🇺🇲❤️
“The suspension setup is pretty similar, whoa whoawhoa” lol got me lol
As an owner of a 2021 Rebel I’m partial. I did drive a 2021 Chevy Silverado with the 6.2 , prices and options close. The Chevy was slightly quicker , had much more torque. But I chose the Ram. Keep it up guys I enjoy your blogs
Do you know which one has better mpg between the two 5.7hemi and 6.2 ……?
Awesome to see you guys expanding your reviews and informative content to the motorcycle community now! Cheers and rubber side down on the new channel! Great job as usual gents!
No mention of the coolers in the back of the Ram. Love them!!
I have a 2019 Custom Trail Boss and I love it. It looks and performs just like the $55k LT Trail Boss, but without all the fancy features or luxury options, but I only paid $37k. For that price, I'll pick my truck all day.
I went with the LT Trail Boss. You couldn't get a Custom with the 6.2 in 2020. With kids and a dog, the leather interior is much better. I needed the console in the middle of the front seats instead of the folding third seat for things I need to keep with me. $51k well equipped before I added several thousand in accessories. I'm also very glad I have the 10-speed.
Who spends that much and doesnt get loaded?
@@boostedbavarian people that want a better package with higher resale value. Unless it’s a specific option like the Torsen Front diff on a Raptor, options get you zero on trade in value, where as a package level difference bets a large improvement.
Short to say a base upper level will save you more money over a fully optioned lower level.
I'm a Mopar guy but I love trucks from all brands. I wish I could somehow drive different ones all the time. Personally I feel Ram has the nicest interiors and innovative storage bins like the ones under the rear floor mats, the double glove boxes, optional Ram Boxes in the box sides etc. Ford has improved their interior for 2021. GM may want to invest in some nicer interior designs and materials too. The Ram back seat in the crew cab is a few inches larger than the Chevy that's why it has a shorter box.
Had a RAM 2017 didn't like the shifter. Found myself turning it while on the road by accident because I was looking for the volume. Screen to much for me. I like old school knobs and gauges. Oh and shifter. Lol. I do like the look of TB better imo. Corner step a must for me so I went back to Chevy.
Great review, but i will take my Trail Boss 24/7.
For the simple fact of it
works.
If i want real flash, I'll take a Cadillac or Lincoln.
I wouldn’t compare a Ram to a Lincoln or Caddy because of “flash”. It just has a little more technology, it’s still a truck.
Sorry, I'm a GM guy. I pick the Rebel, without a food processor.
Next time you check out a Ram try operating the radio or climate with the gloves on. This is why Chevy wins.
@@domin8ss imagine driving your truck with gloves on
@@KY-sq4en that's not hard to imagine at all. It happens at farms and work sites all the time.
@@domin8ss most people take off their gloves in between jobs. but nice try, guy
@@m.brandon6544 you are not most people. You need to do better with your replies. After all, it's been 3 months since this conversation ended. You should seek attention elsewhere, offline.
Tough choice, I like them both but I got over 400k miles on my last ram and it still runs lol. Transmission just started slipping so I parked it. Now I’m trying to decide what to buy next. Great video, you guys were very informative. I’m probably gonna go with the ram.
Put 2 transmissions in my 2014 GMC with only 150,000 and did not use it to tow. Hope my Ram does not have this issue.
GMCs are known for transmission problems. Why do people still buy them is beyond me.
Ram has way better ride quality and stronger engine.
True to that!!!! I also have a dodge ram 2005 with around 400k miles . Same transmission and same engine. Knock on wood everything is fine for now . I just recently got my ceramic gray rebel .. and I must say it’s a bad ass truck !!! I also had an old dodge ram Dakota 5.2 v8 with over 450k miles on it. Same engine I had to change the transmission though , but engine was great .
I started in a 61 Corvair Rampside, 67 Chevy PU, 75 Scottsdale, and 75 Suburban than several Chevy Vans. I like Chevy!........and I would buy the RAM!
Go with the Ram. I have a 2019 Ram Big Horn with the Hemi and tow 95% of the time and have 28,000 miles on it in just one year without any failures. Love this truck
I have a 2018 Silverado with 70000 miles no issues. I also have a 2019 RAM with 33000 miles. The RAM has been ok but it's averaging 14 mpg mostly highway. Go with RAM if you want to get a truck which does not match advertised performance.
2019 Custom Trailboss purchased in July of 2019, now with 47k miles on it. Only problem I have had is the radio glitched 2 times and wouldn't turn off. I regularly tow 7000lbs+ and have had no reliability issues.
Ram really needs to put that 6.4 liter in the 1500. whether it be for offroad, or street performance.
Though trx had it
@@marcuskoolrtTRX is 6.2 supercharged
LMAO Andre! "Rebel 12 gives you this, the cool entertainment screen and giant...(pause)...um...you know...everything" I love it that you guys are real, not worried about editing, because it makes your videos fun.
Ram all the way. Will be buying one hopefully soon 👍
Hey Andrei, even though you picked Rebel, good choice. You didn't mentioned infloor storage bins. Rebel for the win!!!
Yes they did.
Trailboss for me
I have owned 3 silverados since 1998....currently have a 2018 z71 and since GM keeps taking options away comparing the 2018 to the 2020.....honestly would have to take a very hard look at Rebel on my next purchase. The interior is hands down winner on Rebel and the infotainment screen, well that might seal the deal
its worth it. like old school chevys, but the ram wins
For 55k price range, I can simply choose RAM Rebel but like Andre said the fuel efficiency isn't for everyone and also the air suspension setup on RAM is more comfy for daily pavement driving. Can you guys compare the newer model GMC Yukon AT4, Chevy Tahoe Z71, Sequoia TRD Pro, Land Rover Discovery or LR4, Lexus GX or LX, Ford Explorer, Acura MDX, Audi Q7, Volvo XC70, Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride? I think it's a good comparison idea just because some of us more into these type of suv as daily uses i.e. hauling groceries, a 55 gallon empty rain water barrel, some 6ft 2x4 wood or pvc pipes, transport kayak for 2, light off-roading, carry 2 dobermann dogs and most important is real world fuel efficiency. That'd be a good morning breakfast show and before shopping for next vehicle. Thank you 😊 💓
Long time Chrysler owner but I decided to go with the trail boss. Love the factory lift but initially I did miss the power of the hemi. Overall both of these trucks are beautiful with their obvious pros and cons. I gave in and bought a Chevy and so far I love it!!
The ram doesn’t come with a factory lift?
@@juniorpedraza4805 it may but definitely not a 2 inch lift. When I test drove one it sure didn’t seem like it but I could be wrong.
@@juniorpedraza4805 It does.
Exterior: TB
Interior: Ram
Better value is the TB
Dr. Sunchaser agreed
The TB has also the better bed. Maybe it gets the new Tahoe interior with a facelift.
Dr. Sunchaser how can the TB be a better value when you get more for your money and higher quality with the Ram?
74Beeper I mean better discounts/deals on the TB.
Pulling the trigger on a new 2023 Rebel GT 5.7 Black on black ! Looked at a lot of other options but the Rebel really had the performance and capabilities I was looking for.
Went from an 2002 Avalanche to the same 2020 TB own by TFL. Love the truck, it’s more truck than I will use, as Tommy said “it just works”.
Yeah, that phrase should be left to the Toyota guys only, and no, I'm not one.
If you own a truck for 5 years....extra technology can be a problem. How long do you keep your phone and other techy stuff before issues? When that 12” display goes out, how much $$$$ to replace and hiw much functionality is lost if the truck isn’t worth the money to replace? One year ownership is not reality for many of us.
Thank you Tommy it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who dislikes the Catfish grill on the Rebel. I like that they tuned the catfish down on the T-Rex.
Ram Rebel with the 8.4 touch screen with the buttons for climate control etc. axle lock button huge bonus imo. As well a split tailgate, would be my choice
I choose the rebel. I have one and I love it. It's all I want it in it
I switched from Ford to
Chevy , it feels like a man's truck my Z71 off-road all day long Trail Boss!!
Nice. To me, Chevy is the most "truck like" out of the 3. It's designed specifically to be a proper truck.
Now I have to find your video on the the ride quality of the RAM. The trail on UA-cam never ends.
Trailboss for me. Ram is nice, maybe even nicer, but I feel at home in a boss. No place like home.
How has your trail boss held up over the years? I'm about to buy a used 2019 trail boss.
@@chrissnider9555 It was a great truck never had issues with it. I’d say as long as it has the 10 speed transmission and has had good consistent services as needed you should be alright. Mine was a 2020 and so that’s the model year I’d recommend also had 5.3 V8 which was great. Just do the scheduled maintenance as needed and should be pretty great vehicle for you.
I like simple, my wife journey has all that fancy touch screen , I rather focus on the road and have knobs by feel .
Have been studying the Rebel for 6months. Test drove a Trail Boss and bought it. There both nice trucks!!! Had get used tho 55k is out of my range. Hope it works out!!
Haha, I’ve been debating which truck I want, my brother got a brand new 2021 rebel, I’ve been looking at a rebel, trail boss or an at4 and I’m struggling.. I’m thinking rebel or trail boss, did you test an at4 and if you did what was your opinion on it?
Did you test drive both befote making your purchase? IMO, GM has the most comfortable seats, but Ram is the only truck that switched to coil springs. The ride is so superior! My Rebel with towing package is awesome. I barely know the trailer is behind me. The 5.7 hemi is soooo much better then GM's 5.3. And GM 5.3 manifold bolts break all the time. GM is aware of the problem but looks the other way...shame on you.
Ram. I do own a 5th Gen so I am biased in this. However, my company truck is a TB and while it’s a very nice and capable truck, I can’t wait to take the RAM out of the garage, I get so excited to drive it still. Seriously though, this is all about user/owner preference, both are very nice, capable trucks.
The interior of the Chevy is an embarrassment!
The cute little knob shifter on the Ram is girlie
To a girl, I guess...
It's not an "embarrassment" really... It's a damn truck, the chevys interior is well enough for a truck. But yes, compared to Ford and Ram, Chevy obviously isn't as nice in their luxury trims, but having a super nice interior shouldn't be a super overtalked area, for a truck.
@@dallasfrost1996 Ya for a truck that can go above $70,000.00! Ya I guess your right! 🙄
@@dm-lombo1647 That's why I said, not at their "luxury trims"
Chevy.....I have a 2019 LTZ and love it, As Tommy says the interior is not as fancy but it works perfectly and I agree. My neighbor has the Ram and I have been in it and drove it, once you get past the fancy interior, the Chevy is a far better truck.
If Chevy's interior was like the Ram, now that would be a nice truck.
Great info.
I bought the ram and loved it. I was bored one day and test drove the chevy for the sake of curiosity. I now own the chevy and have to intentions of going back to ram. I know the chevy isn't as fancy on the inside but honestly that's part of why I like it so much.
Lol convenient... I'm literally about to head to Denver/Boulder to look at Trail Bosses and Rebels
Get a Power Wagon.
Good Luck, and happy shopping!
Get the rebel wooot wooot 😂
Try the radio and climate while wearing work gloves and you'll see why the Chevy is better. Plus, you can get a Trail Boss with the 6.2.
@@domin8ss Apparently you didn’t notice the large radio knobs and climate control buttons in the Ram 🙄
Ppl make fun of ram engine bays saying that there’s too much room / waste of space, but I work on my Ram 1500s and I really appreciate the space so I don’t cut my hands as much and can fit my arms in the tight areas to access bolts etc.
Both Nice trucks!!... Thanks Andre and Tommy...Yes..90s..☺️yes..column shifter!!
I recently purchased used Rebel and I love it. I might be little biased as I work on Rams for past 8 years. 😂
Biggest standout for me is the interior. Both trucks do most things well. Tow haul etc. but man GM and their short comings on their interiors. It’s not bad , it’s just bland.
Ram for me. I've had mine for 5 months, and love it. I drove a Silverado, but I can't get past the looks, cheap interior, and couldn't find one made in the US.
I like both but I'd go with the Trail Boss
Horrible engine failures
I have a 5.7 8 speed and get 22mpg all day long. I drive in easy hills, then in town, then on terrible efficiency highway due to mostly uphill for my commute.
TB 6.2 all day every day
I test drove a Sierra 1500 AT4 with the 6.2 and I LOVED it... but I heard somewhere that you have to run the 6.2 with premium fuel. Is that true?
Sherry Muckleston premium is recommended but not required. It would be for the best do use premium for optimum performance, etc. I know several people who use regular 87 and have no issues.
@@barrysoetoro3488 Thanks for the info! I'm still truck shopping, this may help make the search a bit easier..
6.2 is nice but cost a bit more than these two here.
@@HRCfan17 That's the issue, especially if you happen to run into problems if you've run 87 in it against the recommendation of GM and you gotta get it fixed. There's always a chance something like that happens I gues...
I love driving trucks around 90% of the time because am scared driving a small car after being in a four way accidents...10% of the time..am picking things up at home depot and towing my boat in the summer..
RAM any day of the week. The interior, where you spend so much time is much, much nicer. Plus you can't bet the air ride.
I have two buddies with air ride and they both have had problems with it.
@@lespaulplayer1234512 not a bit of trouble for me.
Gilbert Nadeau that’s good man. I don’t ever wish truck problems on anyone no matter what brand 😂
I am on my second Ram and I love everything about it, except that it only comes with four standard tie downs in the bed. Every time I haul stuff I am reminded of that. Chevy did that better. As for everything else, I love the Ram. I just got back from a 2500 mile multi-state drive, hauling stuff part of the way, and the comfort, the power, the utility are all excellent. If I were in the market today I would trade for another Ram 1500 with the 5.7. However, I am leaning toward a diesel next time and everything I hear suggests the Duramax is a better choice. I'll have to research that one carefully when that day comes.
@Hill City Skunkworks Don't forget that the Ram has an optional sliding tie down system.
Honestly I just can't wait for you guys to get your hands on the Ranger Tremor and Bronco! Looking forward to seeing the Black Diamond trim!
I've owned a 2016 Rebel w/5.7 Hemi since new and I've put 226,000 kms on it in about 4 years.... easily the best truck I've ever owned!
Love the video..love the Ram..if fuel mileage is a concern get a diesel..what’s the mileage then..I don’t worry about mileage...I care about power..if I wanted mileage go buy a Prius...lol
Why not get both?? My ideal transportation situation would be a 3500 Ram diesel 4x4 with a leveling kit at 35” BFG all terrains with high clearance steel bumpers and air lockers front and rear and a c6 z06 corvette with tons of mods and a Toyota Corolla for everyday driving
I’ve owned both trucks and liked them both but when it comes down to it I’d have to go Ram. The amount of money that pickup trucks are going for today they better have the best updated interior. If you’re going to say old school interior then it should have an old school price 🇺🇸
I think the ram looks like a 55k truck where the chevy looks like a 35k truck that they are charging 55k for and thats not trying to take a swip at chevy .I like both would own either one but id go for the ram at that price point of 55k its about what you get for the price tag.
My Trail Boss is nicer and better equipped than TFL's, and I got it for $51k. Price was not negotiable since GM gives a discount for first responders. Police, fire, healthcare, and military all get the same deal. TFL was telling you MSRP, not the accustomed prove these trucks are selling for. The real tell tale is that you can't find a Chevy at the dealerships. They are selling very fast. Ram dealerships still have inventory.
My Rebel has all the tech one could ever want, it rides so well and the panoramic sunroof makes every drive a joy! Tech, comfort, power, reliablity but a bit thirsty.... I haven't seen or driven anything I'd rather have instead and the kids love it.
E-Torque is a $1450 option on the HEMI and it helps boost the fuel economy by 2 MPG or so.
make sure to tell me how many years it takes you to make up the $1450 by maybe saving 2MPG, GM for MPG
@@lakernation4725 with todays gas prices not as long as you’d think lol
The Trail Boss is a cheap add-on package to any Silverado trim, just a cheap G80 locker, 32" tires, a 2" front lift spacer and a black grill. The RAM Rebel is a complete model and off-road package on arguably the best line of trucks currently in production. So yeah, I would get the Rebel with it's true e-locker, Bilstein tuned suspension, 33" tires, fully to itself exterior & interior details.
For reliability and style I would choose the Ram, but would have to repaint the tow hooks red! 😉
Reliability? Lol
I'd go with the Ram, no food processor. They both look good outside, but the Ram interior wins it for me.
That new style Silverado is the reason I switched to Ram from GM.
sad to say myself hardcore z71 fan....Rebel has my attention for sure
1 more thing...the Ram Boxes! Very cool accessory.
It's funny both tfl bike guys own dodges
Amazing how we all.love different rhings..I hate the white lettering out on the tires
The Ram Rebel is far more capable & refined truck.
Can’t wait for Ram Rebel against Ram TRX
Trailboss, 6.2L all day!
Trailboss baby! 🤘🏼
Absalon Alvarez crack baby
Tha_ville 😂
To get that miles per gallon in the ram you need to be really easy on the title and follow the speed limit to a T I’ve got a 5.7 2019 they are really nice trucks I’ve got 200 thousand km so far I’ve had to replace wheel bearings and an alternator , the wheel bearings was my own fault for riding around with 3 inch wheel spacers then I got the offset rims for the stance i wanted. I owned the truck since new 740km I got the truck .
What I need to do to my truck now is all fluids change transmission rear axle I think I may need rear shocks also but all round I love the ram so many more upgrades
My 04 Silverado was such a great truck, I'll always route for the Chevy. As far as I know, my old Silverado is still on the roads with a new owner, prob over 300k miles now.
Hahahaha food processor on the Ram...it does look like one!
I'd go rebel with the diesel over the 6.2 GM. There's the efficiency you were looking for Andre!
I'd go GMC Sierra AT4 with the 3.0 Duramax
The rebel runs the 3.92 gears from the factory so thats going to affect gas mileage alot. Trailboss has way smaller gears, thats why that trailboss has better gas mileage.
I believe you can get the ram rebel in a simpler version, with on par tech with the chevy and it would be cheaper than your version, To claim you like the simpler chevy but have to pay just as much is foolish, IMO. Good review.
It's called the Ram Bighorn with the North package it's like 10k less than a Rebel that the one to get
Phoenix 98 they gotta make the Chevy look better
@@SRT_VILLAIN yes I have a 16 silverado and like the way it looks compared to the new body chevy. They need to step up
@@bluephoenix383 yh, chevy fans keep saying "you dont need power to plz" or "chevy looks amazing" and it clearly shows in sales that non of that is true. They need to stop designing, go back and add power like stupid. Just LS3 all thier vehicles for 2022
Dude im not gonna lie the only thing i liked on the RAM was that big ass touch screen. That trail boss is too nice !! Plus great fuel efficiency for a beast of a truck that it is !!
Change the ranchos shocks and add 35” tires and it’s a different truck from first hand knowledge. Sure the Rams interior is better and newer but I have no complaints about my trailboss. It works. And no thank you for a rotary shifter, trucks need a Column shifter I don’t want a bmw shifter. TB for the win.
Pech Michael & Christina you gotta change the shocks on a 55k truck?? 😩
Jonathan B unfortunately yes ranchos were garbage.
I own a 2021 Trail Boss and typically Dodge's seem a bit louder but I like the potency and decibel level of the Trail Boss more in this video. I propped the flapper valve open with two hose clamps and covered the resonator screens with exhaust tape and I'm very pleased with mine.. but the Trail Boss sounds louder in this video🤷♂️
I would definitely go with the Chevy. It’s why I’m planning to buy one when the year end discounts come around (2021). It’s an all around great vehicle. I don’t really care about all of the technology crap in other vehicles. Just more stuff to break. I prefer mine to be simple, affordable, but nice. That’s what Chevy is offering.
go Ram u will love it
Guys you forgot to mention that you can get the Ram Rebel bed in 2 lengths: 5'7" or 6'4"
Still shorter than 6'6" standard bed in chevy

@@svr5516 You can get the Rebel with the Quad cab, 6'4" bed, just not on the crew cab.
I think a better comparison would be the GMC AT4 and Rebel. The TrailBoss really only gives you the upgraded suspension, whereas the AT4 has a number of upgrades over the “standard” Sierra packages (much like the Rebel).
My best friend has the AT4. Nice truck. We both prefer my Rebel.
A loaded AT4 at 55 grand?? Impossible to find.
The battery and dipstick tests are very important in a truck... You have to check your oil (of course), but when you have a big truck, you have to be able to jump people off in the Walmart parking lot.... It makes you extra-handy, and that is what trucks are all about.
Ok...complete transparency...my Gen2 Raptor totally blows the dipstick test, I'm 6ft and can't reach it with out a small step stool...both truck lose the off road test - neither has a minimum 33" tire..and finally why do you guys always leave out gear ratios? (as delivered and optional) it's an off road truck, ratios matter!
Enjoy watching you guys together, got some chemistry going on :)
Being a family man I cannot consider the Ram Rebel due to the lack of 6 passenger seating available. So, Trail Boss for me.
Custom Trail Boss I believe? I haven't seen a LT Trail Boss with 6 seats.
Biggest thing I think everyone overlooking is the trail boss is the LT which is a base model of the truck… the rebel they are reviewing is not the base model an the trail boss LT still held up pretty good
LT is not a base model. WT is base. LT is mid to upper-mid level for chevy.
The less electronic crap in the interior or pretty much anywhere else the better.
I hate the radio in my '18 Silverado. Give me knobs and buttons any day.
