it is so nice to see this channel come a long way, I remember the times when Andre pretended to only speak Russian 😂
LMAO pls link me to a vid!
I always thought that was funny. He should throw that in every once in awhile just for the odd chuckle. Maybe when he doesn't agree with Roman or losses an impromptu drag race.
I really appreciate it when designers also consider the comfort of passengers in the second row seats. Reclining and lots of leg space are big advantages of this truck over it's competitors.
Agreed, Toyota used to offer the sliding rear seat. The interior is nice
I just rode in the back of my 14 Crew yesterday, that reclining feature would have been nice.
Perfect way to start my morning, another bad ass video from the TFL Crew
Thank you for watching!
Where you been TFL! I've had to watch everyone else's 2019 Ram reviews! It was horrible 😂😂😂
Best review of the Ram 2019 !
We think so! :)
Except for not using a 3.92 geared Ram to get the slowest time possible. I know and have owned many. Rams are a lot quicker than these guys would have you beleive. Maybe are gas is better in Canada. Mine would do better towing a trailer lol.@@TFLtruck
Ram has the best interior.
Devil Dog Trucker
True
Devil Dog Trucker easily
Damn Ram is killing it with the last two gens of trucks, they keep getting better and better.
The fact that you guys made this video available at 7am eastern time on a Saturday morning is just, well, Awesome! I thank you guys and the channel because i no longer pay for cable.
Not a fan of the Ram but I do like the new look. Plus this was a really good video. Very professional. Plus big fan of Andre.
The knob shifter though!!
I have a 2017 Ram the knob shifter. It took a few drives with it to get used to it. I actually think it's quite smart because there is so much added space to the console. I really like it.
Plus what else? Any more pluses u want to include?
Andre is cool
I'll add a few plusses...Adaptive cruise control with stop/start functionality, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, 12 inch touch screen, towing mirrors, just to name a few. If I were buying a truck this year this is the one I would get.
The fast lane truck your guys’ reviews are seriously awesome! The owner, his son, and Andre all do one heck of a job!!
Hate that they got rid of the cross in the grill but man what a truck!!
Me too! I bet the aftermarket will make a 'crosshair' grille.
You know, at some point, something new has to be implemented.
Justin Reily
Indeed. In the current market, there's probably something to gain by not only differentiate themselves from the Dodge brand, but also from the big three in general. The big three concept is very old fashioned, and so are the products in many ways(2016 Ram 3500 owner here and happy to be so). So for Ram to differentiate they are also making a point of thinking in new ways, and being a modern company.
Great review Andre!
Nice job TFLtruck! Funny, your channel is making everyone else step up their game! Normally, TFL is the first to the trough with any kind of news and reviews, and the amount of reviews that came out on the day the embargo lifted was incredible. But even though this review was one-day behind, it was still best review out there! Thanks again.
the 5.7 may not be as springy and agile as those new turbo V6s but the 5.7 will last a lifetime
Love your reviews Andre. Great job.
As always, Andre is on point with his reviews
ive loved all time time in the 2019 rams, its now my dream truck
Ram has done a very nice job of this truck. Not a hybrid guy but the e-torque has me intrigued and like the simplicity of it. Want to see more on it. Txs TFL
No one gives a review as thorough as the fast lane!👏
See, CHEV and GMC,..a FLAT REAR FLOOR AREA !!!
Really great video Andre, these are getting more and more enjoyable.
Thank you.
Don't care! I don't sit in the back of my truck.
It's more for putting shit flat on the floor in the back you dingus
Mrjoecreeper why would you shit on your floor?
Nice joke. What are you? 10?
RAM simply makes the best looking trucks in the world.
Yeah and the most unreliable trucks in the world
KapitanPisoar1 You simply have no clue what you're talking about.
Not mentioning all the other issues. Like the Chrysler trademark evap valve failing, weak front axle and so on. Dodge is a polished turd. Good looks, but shit beneath...
Lmao if you think Rams are reliable then you simply have no idea what your talking about.
and the worst in safety and reliability
You guys in the US are SOOO lucky. We wish we could get these trucks in South Africa....
This truck blows the new GM Twins out the water. I may upgrade my 2016 Tundra for this bad boy!
Great video. Love all extra effort put into making the review more enjoyable to watch.
Ram is number 1 in my book... they really step up their game!
Man, I'm not a truck guy at all but I love this truck. Looks good in a lot of colors
So glad to see y’all review trucks again!
Andre, during testing do you adhere to posted speeds anywhere else because the stretch of road where you were towing the tractor is a 35 mph road and leaving skid marks by my parent’s driveway deserves a t-shirt or hat or something! Great video and keep up the good work. Can’t wait for the Ike Gauntlet video because I want a new Ram to pull that bumper pull travel trailer in the background at the 6:16 mark. I have a 2016 Ram 1500 and I’m excited to see how much better the 2019s are!
I like the 2nd truck, quad cab with tow mirrors and chrome. I can not do this years black grill. The look is slowly growing on me with the chrome, but not the black grill.
Damn i LOVE this truck but where's the SRT or TRX version!!! Mr trucks video/interview has my hopes up! What's mr truck think? 2020 trx rebel ??
I was pretty surprised that Right Hand Drive production of the Ram 1500 became slimmer but hey at least you can get them now in Australia with a factory supported conversion.
Good morning Andre...great vid & awesome RAM!
Thanks for sharing!
Love the rebel interior this year and interior upgrades in general. Limited looks like a high class vehicle. Swaying points are front fascia and plastic bumper continues. Still like the side mirrors of the competitors. Choices definitely harder than they used to be
Coffee and trucks. Yahoo!
I like how it doesn't look like a F150 or a Tundra, GM and Nissan take note. I'm leaning towards Tundra if they can ever get it up to 20mpg, but I had a rental Ram 1500 for 6 months and it was a pretty damn awesome truck.
I like what they did with the rebel
I have a question about the E-torque\starter for 2019. If the battery dies, how do you start the vehicle? Obviously you can't jump start it, right? Does it come with a converter\charger? And, if the 48v battery is dead or disconnected, how do you open the tailgate?
This video was made 4 years ago! And now all of the other manufacturers had to step up their game to match the quality of the interior and the big screen infotainment system. It’s going to get to the point of the big screen battles. Toyota as copied a lot ideas from Ram and ford to redesign their aging interior! They even went to a turbocharged v6 lol 😂
Still the most beautiful, tough trucks.
What gears please? 3.21 or 3.92. They took 3.55 out of the line up on the HEMIs.:(
These truck prices are insane. I mean, the resale isn't as strong as in the past because of the profit increases. The average depreciation rate is around $650 a month! So boys and girls this means before the average person gets a loan that the truck loses at least $7,800 a year in value. Add this to a pay a loan on a 60k thousand dollar tag with a 5k down payment and your monthly note is still around $1,100 with a good rate. Add $1,100 + depreciation and this truck or trucks like it, are costing the average person $1,750 a month with subpar mpg. Jeez. Aside from this, can't wait to you get it in Colorado.
Will NorthAmericanGroup What do you mean "before the average person gets a loan"?
That process takes like, 30 minutes. Or less. In fact I got mine with a 5 minute call to the credit union for the truck. Year later it was a 2 minute website visit for the dealer on the car. And no I didn't trade. I kept both.
Will NorthAmericanGroup it seems that nobody is bothered by the math though. Trucks sell and will sell until gas skyrockets
What are you talking about and where are you getting these numbers from?
When i became the sun.. I totally agree. I used to own a few dealerships, and I lived thru 2003 -2005. When gas became high, every lease return you could hear cries from the banks. So true value matters or you have a ton of inflation. Funny thing is....if you look at the mpg's from 2003 and 2007, it really hasn't increased on average at all. How is that possible...I pray when gas prices do increase that American families will be able to rebound.
Where are you getting these numbers???
Wonder when they are going to show the 2500 version.
I love this truck more and more with each video.
A nice looking truck. Looks like a bigger version and better looking Tacoma. Clean lines and not over designed. FCA may have a real winning design for a change,
Your videos are the best. Thanks guys!
Thank you.
Let me just say I have NO brand loyalty here. I'm not a FORD, GM, RAM, TOYOTA, OR NISSAN "guy". I am however looking for a high trim model full sized truck. With this entry, I am leaning toward a Ram 1500. Its a great looking truck with a lot of innovation, capability, and the best interior. I think the other full sized manufactures need to be worried. Ford and GM should be nervous. Ram is coming up on you.
Keith Ferreira waiting on 2020-2021 RAM 3500, hoping the upgrades on this year's RAM 1500 will make to the 3500 by then.
Keith Ferreira Id wait to say it has the best interior untill you actually sit in this truck. I used to detail cars for a living and all the ram trucks i seen had the shittiest cheapest rattly plastic interiors out of all the other truck brands. My friend has a 2017 ram and lots of things in the interior have already fallen off or broken. His plastic seat cover on the bottom fell off, then the interior dome light cover fell off as well.
I've sat in one about 3 weeks ago at our local auto show. The interior is an awesome place to be.
skileg10 You must’ve only been in plain Jane base models every manufacturers base model feel cheap. I used to detail cars as well and the rams were always the nicest trucks on the market.
@@skileg10 completely different truck. Literally in every way.
Good content. I am warming up to these new RAMs and I am a Ford/Chevy guy.
I'd like to see the fully powered rear window that is on the Tundra Crew Max on all the manufacturers. Looks like a great little feature when paired with a sun roof.
Finally a elocker about time that makes me want one now that was the only thing holding me back before
Message for Mr. Michael Manley : This Rebel is close to perfection but something serious is missing . I have a recipe for you to make this truck the best on the planet. This Rebel needs that ecodiesel . I was ready to buy this truck but I don"t like 10 mpg. I am doing overlanding and I need fuel economy. If you are going to put that ecodiesel into the Rebel I will definitely buy this truck. Damian Overlander
You should have went into detail about the composite upper control arms . Your gonna need to replace those with your tires
love the V8 sound
Glad to see them making the rebel more off-road worthy. Wish the rear diff lock was like the power wagon tho, I can choose limited slip or locked in 4wd low.
I’ll be in the market for a new 4x4 truck soon. Liking the Rebel a lot. Waiting to see what the Trailboss offers.
I've got a loaded '17 Raptor but this video has me considering a switch. The Ram's interior is far nicer, and I like the Ram's wider ratio 8 speed more than this Ford/GM 10 speed. If they drop a Rebel TRX Hellcat with limited slip front differential, rear E-locker that works in 2wd, more suspension travel and either the 6.4L or 6.2L SC Hemi I'd be sold. And offer the 12" nav screen in the Rebel TRX please.
Why would the quad cab be more maneuverable on/off road?? it has the 6.5' box so its the same length truck... Why don't you guys ever mention truck bed length on half tons???
Other than that you guys do an excellent job!!!
Heard a lot of rattling while going over bumps. Good video though TFL
Love the pickup rattles. You can tell when a pick-up is coming. The tailgate shouldn't rattle now? Close-up of paint chips? This is why I prefer Wrangler.
The Rebel competes with The TRDPro, and the NissanTitan Package
I was so funny last Tuesday, left work on Scottsdale Rd. headed south for an appointment. Came up to the light at the 101 and noticed the RAM in front of my Power Wagon had different taillights, me thinks to myself, hmm this guy got some aftermarket ones. Then I noticed LED turn signal on the mirror. Brain still didn't click, after all it had been a day at work. Fingers numb from the keyboard. Get on the freeway and pass it, then I noticed the hood. I dusted that little 5.7 with much gratification. ;-) Saw several more later that week and talked with one of the guys that clean them after Andre spills his latte and scone crumbs all over the cab at a gas station near the dealership that they take them to at night. He likes them, but gave the nod to the PW.
So?
cheman4 So you suck. Better?
Andre FTW! Do ALL the truck reviews!
Thanks for the review. At 11:13, the terrain is flat sand, why 4low ?! 4 high with air down tires should be enough and better actually or isn't ?
We wanted to try how 4Lo behaved in higher speed conditions.
Glug! Glug! Glug! 😋
The current Limited has a gauge cluster that looks more refined than all the other trim levels and even says Limited, the 2019 didn't seem to be as different
I see that the rebel has a 1" increased suspension with the coils. Do you only get the option of 2" with the air suspension?
At the 3:23 mark we see the exhaust pipe outlet. Why so large when the actual diameter of the pipe exiting the muffler is so small? To give the impression of a larger diameter? Isn't that a deceptive practice? I'm a Ram fan, own one in fact, but I don't like deceptions like this. Make that short length of pipe of larger diameter, or better yet, make the entire exhaust pipe of that same diameter, or leave things alone, imo.
Prettier than the new silverado, I like this truck and I'm a chevy fan
Love watching yalls shows. If there is anyway posable could you do the Ike Gauntlet with 2 of the same Rams ( Hemi 4x4 ) 3.21 Gears vs 3.92 ? Am very interested on the towing.
What was that rattling noise? Is it normal?
I think it's the air suspension.
Its the 8 speed transmission hunting for gears. This especially happens at slower and jerky speeds.
can you add a timestamp so others can verify what you are saying?
Grand Cherokee does the same thing with the air suspension maxed out. It's stupid and why I would choose coils.
My Grand Cherokee Overland doesn't do that.
Hey Andre For the fast track off road in Arizona weren't you supposed to be on 4wd high?
Another great video! I actually can't believe how heavy it is. Wow. That's like over 1000lbs heavier than my 2016 F150 2.7l. It's in the 4,600 area. Is that ram really 5,700 pounds? Wow.
David Hoover what model truck is yours?
Supercrew short bed
I wish you guys would be more detailed about towing. How the trans is shifting. What your feeling. And also how the MDS system is working. If your noticing cylinder deactivation etc.....
The new Ram is very smooth on all accounts. The transmission is shifting smooth and you will not notice the MDS unless you look for the Eco light in the gauges.
I have the 2014 I’m happy with it but I would like to own this new rebel. I’ll be waiting for this new on video
Is it me or does the lights on the back look similar to the second gen’s?
Andre, for the Limited model, you indicated that you calculated the weight of the truck at ~5700 lbs. I assume the GVWR was 7100 lbs, so the payload was ~1400 lbs. Was the truck fully optioned or were there any significant (i.e. heavy) options omitted? I'm trying to determine what the real payload capacity is for a fully loaded Limited. I currently have a '13 Sport, 6'4" bed with Ramboxes and Ram lists the payload for my vin as 1326 lbs, however the payload sticker on the door lists 1077 lbs. In my next truck, I definitely want all the features...and more payload :-) Since it's so new, I haven't been able to get the actual payload numbers from any dealers yet.
PS. Thank you to you and the rest of the TFL crew for the videos you put out, they are very helpful!!
What’s the app he used to check the altitude in this video? Always watch these guys review, very insightful.
I much prefer the new Ram look, the grill looks way more aggressive
This video made me think there was a mouse in the wall behind my TV. What's all the cracking and popping about?
Another great video from Andre.
I like the look of the new tundra looks pretty good
Tell the RAM guys to offer some of these off road events to their customers please.
The Rebel was traveling over one section going up a rocky hill, (at about 3:40 in the video), and it sounded like something was loose on the suspension. It was making a heck of a racket! Was there an issue with truck????
ok.. what is the slamming noise at 3:34 I kept hearing!?! sounded like a loose front end part or a broken sock or something.
Roger Rabbid I was wondering the same thing.
Is there a big difference between the suspension of the Rebel and the limited? I love the Rebel with the off road tires but having the adaptive cruise control is something that's a must for me sitting in Denver traffic. How easy would it be to get a limited and put some beefier tires on it?
But that damn shift knob or push buttons, I just never like it in any car ,,but everything else is just so good in this truck I love the clean lines of the truck
While the new Ram is a great truck overall I’m a bit let down, here’s why;No extra HP, same hemi and same V6, no extra gears, competition offering 10 speed now, while the outside looks clean I also find it a bit bland and too similar to the old Ram, I’m betting GM and Ford will be lighter and faster with better fuel economy, the up level interior is beautiful but I find no use for a huge infotainment screen that complicates simple controls.
As a current Ram owner I’m going with GM or Ford for my next truck. I’m very impressed with the useful features the new Sierra offers (tow command, heads up, more powerful V8,and magnetic ride) and the F-150 also offering extra power and more features that I’ll use. Sorry Ram, takes more than a big screen and stitched leather to make a best in class truck! We’ll try again when they offer a 400+ HP V8 (sans hybrid crap) and a 10 speed auto to keep up with Ford and GM.
I couldnt find a dual sunroof on 2019 models when I tried to build one, just the normal sunroof upfront. How does that truck have the bigger sunroof??
How does it ride compared to the out going model and which suspension gives a smoother road ride? Really looking for a truck that won't kill me with my neck arthritis. What it the tow rate with the 5.7 3.21 rear end?
Nice video nice truck ram !! Also thanks for no cursing 🤬 on the video I have my costumers watch your videos and had to stop 🛑 so to not offend. Thanks again guys great job
At approx. 3:37 in the video I could definitely hear a loud rattling sound when the Rebel climbed the hill. Any ideas why?
I heard a lot of rattling on the outside driving part, but overall ram did a nice job, headlights need to be a different design looks like a tundra in my opinion, but nice
DIY at home Mason those are rocks smacking each other on the ground
Justin Davison ok, wasn’t for sure thanks
That was definitely something rattling on the truck. I caught that too. It's not rocks. Lol
NWI ohh ya for sure something rattling................ For sure..
Rocks! Not the truck.
Why are they removing column shifters!!😭
Its probably not that big a deal, but i had a small issue with when you were attaching the trailer and you put the 2 hooks on the hitch facing down instead of up. When i was going through hotel 8 recovery school (in the army), our instructors ALWAYS told us hook up, as in the part that opens should be facing up towards the sky or away from the truck in the event crap hits the fan, the busted hook will snap itself to the ground instead of towards the trailer or some innocent bystander. Most people probably wouldnt think much of my concern given that the possible burst of energy isnt as much as a winch line thats under thousands of pounds of pressure, but i always "hook up" my trailer when connecting even my little 4' x 6' trailer to my vehicles because of it. Other than that, i did like your review, any upcoming 2019 ecodiesel reviews? Thanks :)
Very impressive offering by Ram
its funny in most people that tried the new Ram no one tried the base Ram Tradesmen it was there too
Ram squad
Does it come with the Hemi Tick? Or do you gotta pay extra for it?
Great review! Good looking trucks!
I hope they fixed the tow mirrors! I hate how the fish eye is not powered or heated!!! They literally went back because 3rd gen was all power and heated.
Looks pretty good...but hate the "shift dial". Not cool and you have to reach too far to shift...that surprises me.
you can't get it as a Regular Cab any longer ?
