Correction: The technology group, which includes the Head Up Display, LED bed lamp and Rear-View Auto-Dimming Digital Display Mirror can be ordered with the Trailer-Tow Group. You can get one, the other, or both. Also, Limited trim comes in 2wd or 4wd.
Hey Ben, FYI, the trailer tow package doesn’t include the trailer mirrors anymore. It’s a $445 add-on. That’s why I only got the trailer tow mirrors and trailer brakes added separately.
Hey Pete, do you have the Part-No for the NEW Trailer Tow Mirrors from the 2021 RAM 1500? The one with the 360 ° camera as in the video. I would like to have them for my 2020.
This really wasn’t helpful or on topic even. You did a review of trailer steering without a trailer to demonstrate trailer steering. Seriously? Oh and by the way that isn’t the naturally aspirated Hemi, it’s the Hemi with Etorque.........
The E-torque is not a hybrid. Doesn't run the motor at all. Just ads torque in the bottom end. Smooths out shifting and stands in for the starter in stop start.
Ordered the tech group and the tow group so yes you can get both the key clue is the rear third break light was not LED so that truck did not have the Tech group. You would think as many of these reviews you could have spent 5 min on the configuration on the Ram site to figure that out. Also agree that this one was click bait a few comments and no real demo of the trailer steering. What a shame....
The ram website isn’t always accurate sadly and that’s why I don’t go off of it. I used to work for ram and they would let you configure things, that you couldn’t actually buy.
I have the 2021 limited longhorn 1500 v8 etorque with every option except skid plates and oil pan heater. The truck is black and brown with black and saddle interior
Not sure if this one had it but you can get a trailer camera now with the 2021 1500's which should make backing up with the trailer steering a lot easier as you'll be able to see behind the trailer.
@@BenHardyCars womp womp... also just an assumption on my part but I would imagine that it would work that way. Thank you again for the awesome reviews.
How about instead of turning a knob to steer the trailer they make some sort of wheel that could be turned. If you cant back up a trailer then practice. Nothing worse then sitting at the boat launch or lumber yard waiting on some donkey that can’t back up.
Hybrid is a misnomer. But the E torque works well. It does have regen brakes. But the E torque motor does not run the drivetrain like a hybrid would. It does control the stop start system near seamlessly.
I still don't know about the tailgate with the barn doors I guess I'm just not used to seeing it I know it makes it so much easier grabbing things in and out of the back of your truck but are you going to constantly bump into the back bumper and get your pants dirty but I had a Chevy Tahoe and it was so much nicer having the barn doors and the air suspension is nice I have a friend that's all he buys is the Ram truck with the air suspension but I like to either put a leveling kit or a small lift kit on my trucks and with the air suspension it's a lot more to do but the truck looks so much better and that second stage of height you definitely need bigger tires still there's nothing Dodge can do that would stop me from ever buying one I own 3 right now 2001 diesel 04 Hemi sport and 16 Hemi sport looking to get rid of the 04 and get a new 2020 or 2021 Ram have to see what the deal I will work out
Except if it's a small trailer that you can't see. Our sea Doo trailer is invisible when it's empty. By the time you see it in the side mirrors, it's too jackknifed to correct. This is where this system comes in handy.
Isn't this the same as the limited review you posted yesterday? Then gloss over the trailer system? "From an ease standpoint it makes things easier"....great insight and a waste of time. Ps....one would think that any vehicle has the turning radius to manage a typical intersection. But hey, gotta milk it right?
Thank you! At least one other person noticed that the video has absolutely NOTHING to do with the title. I was led to believe based on the title that some idiot on UA-cam would be hitching up a trailer to demonstrate the technology but there was nothing even remotely close to a demonstration!
Pretty disappointing because I came here for a review of the trailer steering and you really didn’t answer any of that. You basically reviewed the card and hardly talked about the trailer steering. You should have showcased it
If you’re looking for the content mentioned in the title, it’s at 7:30. Why I need a review of the entire truck before you get to the title of the video I don’t know. EDIT: I wrote that comment above before finishing the video. I have now finished the video and determined this is the worst automotive video on UA-cam. “Is the trailer steering option worth getting” well I still don’t know. You would think with a title like that the person making the video would have demonstrated the trailer steering option??
If you can't back up a trailer or boat, then trailer steering won't help you. This is a wasted feature in my opinion. If you can't back it up then don't hitch it up.
Hey, if it gives a helper the confidence to back up your boat trailer so you can load your boat on the trailer, could be a huge help. Maybe even save a fight or divorce lol
Good review overall, except you have given minimal insight Into the trailer steer system. Perhaps demonstrate what it actually does?

Dealerships suck at ordering the trucks they sell. To get the setup you really want, you have to usually special order one.

That Ram better come with a 5 course meal for that price if not more.
Lol
I like my 2020 without the dryer knob.
Thats what I thought at first. But I really do enjoy it. Switching gears feels seamless.
You review the Ram family a lot I think it's your favorite truck😉
Another good review 👍
I get a lot of requests for rams is all
Eco mode isn’t new to 2021 . My Ram 2016 limited has that option .
It can be turned on and off in the settings

He nvr said he was gonna review it or test it
He said is it worth it if u want him to review it you should've put it in the comments so he can see instead of saying its click bait shame🙄
Only a feature ford came up with 6 years ago
I have the 2021 limited longhorn 1500 v8 etorque with every option except skid plates and oil pan heater. The truck is black and brown with black and saddle interior
Can you do a video review of your truck? I’d like to see that.
@@Bowlingenius will try to do in about a week and half
Great truck overall
I have a '21 with both the digital mirror and the trailer steering group, so it just depends on the packages you order.
Good to know
So, you didn't actually USE the new trailer steering?
I’m really none the wiser what trailer steering is!
Not sure if this one had it but you can get a trailer camera now with the 2021 1500's which should make backing up with the trailer steering a lot easier as you'll be able to see behind the trailer.
I didn’t see any with that option
@@BenHardyCars womp womp... also just an assumption on my part but I would imagine that it would work that way. Thank you again for the awesome reviews.
Would you kindly report on whether this truck - Limited with Off Road Group - has function of ALL FIVE suspension heights? Thank you.
It does
There are so many trucks!!! Can they sell all the trucks?
Eventually
Sup Ben its yours truly 🙃. Absolutely loving these reviews, R.I.P Vlogs 🙏🏼☠.
Vlog will come soon
Hi.Very beautiful mountain view, fire👍🤝
Soooooo handsome! No Ben I obviously mean the RAM!😊❤️
There is a truck with the camera and the backup system also for the trailer
I think it's a really cool feature on these newer trucks
Your truck is commendable
Can tou get the towingmirrors with the camera mirror ?
That would be the best of 2 worlds
How about instead of turning a knob to steer the trailer they make some sort of wheel that could be turned.
If you cant back up a trailer then practice. Nothing worse then sitting at the boat launch or lumber yard waiting on some donkey that can’t back up.
Too bad it doesn't have the Cameras on the side mirrors. I love mine on my 2020 2500.
2021 1500 has the side cameras on the trailer mirrors.
Nice video! Thank you for showing it to us. I wonder why they removed the "RAM" text on the tailgate
The Rebel has the huge Ram script.
Very cool truck 😍💯❤❤👍
Etorque is the hybrid engine. It was available in 2019 as well
Hybrid is a misnomer. But the E torque works well. It does have regen brakes. But the E torque motor does not run the drivetrain like a hybrid would. It does control the stop start system near seamlessly.
Can you do a review of the 2021 ram 1500 with the eco diesel ?

Nope, love the truck. But, if you need a dial to back a trailer. You have no business hooking and dragging. Learn how to back a trailer.
Except if it's a small trailer that you can't see. Our sea Doo trailer is invisible when it's empty. By the time you see it in the side mirrors, it's too jackknifed to correct. This is where this system comes in handy.
Haha

Hey Ben, could you also include payload?
Question can you put a plow on this one with out voiding your warranty thank you
Love your videos Ben. My question to you is. What is your favorite overall truck for the price? Us and cdn models?
New ram trx🤗
@@BenHardyCars Of Course, Lol!
What shade of red is that called? Pretty
Sandy Utah?
If you need trailer steering you have no business trailering anything or buying a truck.
Nice review. What happened to the companies doing spray in bed liners??
Cost saving I think
@@BenHardyCars It comes in option
What color is that?
A 70k 4wd truck with no locker. I would not buy that truck for that reason alone.
Order it with one. I did.
So, a video about the trailer steering without a video about trailer steering...
Great feature such an ugly knob ruins the silver six aux buttons I don’t know how nobody noticed this
How do it drives in the winter time do you have to weigh it down with sand bags because it's light at the rear
No it has 4x4
What's your ideal truck Ben?
Ram trx
Have you ever run out of gas during a test drive? Just curious. Love the Red
When I was a salesman yes
With a customer?
Pretty disappointing because I came here for a review of the trailer steering and you really didn’t answer any of that. You basically reviewed the card and hardly talked about the trailer steering. You should have showcased it
That's a feature that Ford had for years
I have both the Ford 2019 and this truck and the Dodge is the 🐐 hands down.

Dude driving all the Limiteds
😆😆😆
Is the back up camera on the third brake light required to use the trailer back up assist?
Yes
@@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS thanks. so if you have a canopy, this feature will not work.
Not bad
If you can't back up a trailer or boat, then trailer steering won't help you. This is a wasted feature in my opinion. If you can't back it up then don't hitch it up.
I hope Dodge never goes electric
Ugh with recent laws in California they might need to :(
@@officialsterlingarcher oof I cant imagine being a dedicated car guy in cali
Trailer steering video without showing BAD
GREAT REVIEW !!!!
A 15 minutes video about a trailer system but not showing any of it for any seconde..
7:29
Drinking game: Ben says "with that said" or a Russian bot comments
Lol
At 13:11 why it sound like a hellcat
🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@BenHardyCars everytime you test a 5.7 with etorque in the acceleration part I hear it
Ok truck
slow the f down dude, you didn't cover the title at all
If you can't back a trailer up you should not be hooked up to one.
Hey, if it gives a helper the confidence to back up your boat trailer so you can load your boat on the trailer, could be a huge help. Maybe even save a fight or divorce lol
omg just learn how to back a dam truck up with a trailer, its not that hard. left is right and right is left lol.
I don't understand, can you run that by me one more time. 🤣
😘😍🙏
This was a terrible review...
Answer: No, it's not worth getting a Ram period.
