I tested the auto high beams and they work VERY well. The air suspension is also nice. Super smooth, yet still feels like a truck. The wife likes it too. She's short so lowering the height to enter is something she's happy for. Not to mention it facilitates the ease of putting the kids in their car seats. If you haven't driven one of these things, go do it. They're pretty darn nice now.
leaf suspension is pre historic concept from horse trailers, air is already on heavy trucks for long and guarantee much greater side stiffness and the bellows can easily be replaced almost like a tire. leaf suspension will be phaseout in a decade I bet.
Hey Roman I think of purchasing a 2011 Ford F150 FX2 with 37,412 for 24988 or a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 Express CrewCab with 6 miles for 24972 which truck will be the best as a daily driver and something a little bit fast thx and keep up the awesome videos
These trucks are no longer called Dodge Rams. Since 2009, they have been called just rams. Ram is its own entity now separated from dodge. Why do you think most Chrysler dealerships are now Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.
Take a loot at any eighteen wheeler and see what kind of suspension does it have... The are reliable, comfortable and more versatile than coils or leaf springs.
Everyone saying that because semi's have air bags that they're reliable must not drive trucks, because I do and air bags and lines, fittings, etc have blown out on me many times. They are problematic and do need repairs. That said, they are great systems when working and I'm a big fan of air suspensions. To imply that they are reliable though, is incorrect.
Because they're non reliable. I know guys who've put air suspenions on their trucks and everything needs to be replaced constantly. Air lines, actuaters, compressors, they're not meant for lifting such big heavy things like trucks. Dodge is very ambitious but I can tell you from experience and what I've seen its just a waste. You'd be better off with a regular truck suspension and adding a lift to it if you want height. It won't cost.in the end. If u really want the truck I'd suggest waiting.
Until they figure out all the kinks. Look at the iPhone everyone went and got it and most disliked it, then they fixed all the bugs and the iPhone got better when 4g was announced. Just never buy anything that is new to market right away just because the fact is that companies are testing their products first and they fix anything wrong after.

Semis have used them for decades and they don't have any troubles.
That is probably a good indication. They have been available through aftermarket suppliers for years too. It's the only way to go.
so are air suspensions proven reliable? lots of makers put them in their cars but i dont hear about how reliable they are.

How are the ball Joints?
How much to have this system installed if the truck is not already equipped with this?
is the air suspension system covered by the 5 year 100,000 mile warranty?
When you guys get to test the ecodiesel you should do a hypermiling test to see how far you can go on a tank.

why is that? I'm new to this. I was thinking about getting air suspension. what's the cons of it?

can i have it lowered like all the time?
I see many repairs in the future.
Predictable guess, but false,
why dont they turn more lights in that room so you could see better ?
..or at the very least a real-world mileage run to see what it will really do.

And in conclusion, the system will undoubtedly break with 1,000 miles.
you must drive a ford
It's not so good to run a diesel engine out of fuel.

Too much explanation too less demonstration.
hands down ram is much better then ford ,gm ,Toyota, and nission
Wrong dippy-Ram has the worst repair record and is rated at the bottom of the list.
Piece of junk dodge
