This bodystyle has aged VERY well. This commercial is so old (i was like 16) but it still makes me wanna go out and buy one! I got to rent a 2010 for a week and absolutely loved it. Im a jeep guy but would consider one for next vehicle
I remember watching this on a VHS with my grandfather back in 93/94....he was given this demo tape before making the final decision on buying his "new style" dodge. So much nostalgia....awesome.
I miss these old truck commercials. The new one's suck... Doesn't even show a video of what it can do. These old ones were pretty cool. The ones now a days make trucks seem to luxurious.
Yeah, you can't haha, and apparently a truck needs a huge touch screen too. The thing with new trucks is that if one thing goes wrong, other things will not work. Just because they have so much tech into them.. I'm just fine never having a new truck, I'll just rebuild mine get used ones and fix those up. haha I personally wouldn't get anything over 07. That's when all the tech started to take over. Plus the late 90's to 2000's trucks have better looks, and are much easier to work on, and parts are plentiful.
I agree completely with trucks being advertised as luxurious these days. Companies are selling them as passenger vehicles and not as work trucks like they used to. Sad really.
I remember when the new dodges come out back then. They were a very well deserved and amazing re design and set the standard for putting curves back on trucks.
back when the avg joe could afford to buy a new truck. now even base models with nothing in them run you 30+ grand and we arent even talking about the upper trim level prices, those are hitting highend luxury car prices now with their 60+ grand price tags. And for what, you get a bunch of electronic bullshit that will go wrong and cost you an arm and a leg to fix after 3 or 4 years of owning one in this day and age? no thank you..
Actually, the base model Dodge Ram 1500 sold for around $14,500 about 24 years ago. That's nearly $24,500 in today's (2017) cash. Compare that today's trucks, which start $2,000 more, but keep in mind that today's trucks pass modern safety and emissions standards, are more powerful, tow more, haul more, come with much more standard features. When you think about, you're actually getting much MORE today than you did then. Also, keep in mind that $26,500 might seem like a lot, but that is suggested pricing. Many buyers pay way less than that once all the incentives are added up, especially if they're buying fleets of them. With incentives and dealer discounts, you can easily buy a base model Ford or Ram for under $20,000. As for "electronic bullshit that will go wrong and cost you an arm and a leg to fix after 3 or 4 years", our company has several trucks that are 4 years old or newer, and they absolutely do not cost an arm an leg to fix and are very reliable. In fact, they're proving to be more reliable than the trucks made 20 years ago. And honestly, it not like 90s American vehicles were all that well made. If anything, most vehicles were terribly made back then.
While 23 years and almost 300,000 miles have taken their toll on my old Ram. Its still a dependable work horse. Still works every day, Wish It had heated mirrors though :(
I own a 1997 Ram 1500 Club Cab LWB 2wd 5.2L. By far the best truck you could ever own. My only 2 complaints are the infamous steering wander and cracked dashboard. As a temporary fix I installed a plastic dash cover. Not pretty, but effective. Next year I will be installing a new dashboard and steering gear box which will alleviate my wandering issues. I purchased my Emerald Green Machine in 2008 as a 2nd owner with only 80,000 miles on her for only $3000. Now, with nearly 190,000 miles and the only mechanical issues have been replacing the intake manifold gasket and catalytic converter. Say what you want about the 2nd Generation Rams but, I'd say she has more than paid for herself.
2gen Dodge Ram's are the best trucks ever made! I own two 1997 Dodge Ram's one is a 1500 4x4 sport 390stroker magnum & the other 1500 4x4 slt 360 magnum both are the most dependable trucks I've ever owned. Small block Mopar's they are powerful engine's if you build them right i can keep up with most new sport's cars with my 390 stroker #TeamDodge #DodgeTruckOrNoTruck
I have a 97 5.2 v8 with 139,000 miles and was owned by an old man. Never beat in the woods. Great truck runs strong. I ve done alot of custom work to it.
You can't be serious? Better? I guess you don't give a fuck about tow capacity, or fuel economy. Old doesn't mean better. When it comes to pickups, old usually means shit. The only thing these have going for them is their looks.
Just sold my 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 with 148,000 mi. I bought it almost brand new in 2001 with only 16,000 miles. That truck never failed me. I never had to spend a single dime on it besides regular maintenance. I don't think I'll ever find another truck as reliable as that one:(
you must be hard on transmissions to go through three of them I maxed out the tachometer four times on my 89 Power Ram 250 and never had to replace the transmission.
Man this made me almost tear up, I have a 95 5.2 v8 regular cab dodge ram with 224k miles and still starts right up and drives and sounds good, no check engine light...I previously had a v6 2001 ram I stupidly traded for an old junky beat up firebird car, I guess you live and learn though. Anyway, these dodge rams are my favorite vehicle ever, never left me stranded or had any major problems, very reliable. I know alot of people knock the trans in these but I've seen just as many GM vehicles with fried trans and engines, I still see alot of 2nd gen dodge trucks on the road and even a 1st gen every once in awhile...I don't put very many miles per year on a vehicle so this thing could last me a lifetime honestly, if/when the trans go out I'll have saved up enough money to get a new one/rebuild....the magnum engines are known to last a very long time too. The chevy trucks of this era got more mpg even with their 350 5.7's which is the only con besides the auto trans in these I'd say, but for being so reliable I'll accept a tiny bit less mpg
"So you can hear your phone ringing on the highway" Man how the world has changed! We're the drivers better back then or did it just prove to be unsafe? Either way it's crazy to watch this.
Well back in the day it wasn't hard to drive and talk on the phone. Some cars even came with phones from factory. It all went to shit when texting came.
Love my 05 Dodge 2500 HEMI! It's my second Dodge. My 1st was a 01 2500 with the 360v8. Glad to have such a good truck. Also,the old truck commercials were the best
IM just saying, my dad is a ford guy, he owned a 1999 Ford 150, it was a good dependable truck, but i always loved my uncles 3/4 ton 1998 Ram 2500, so when i turned sixteen i bought a 1995 Ram $1500 single cab long bed for 1500, i loved that truck, i sold it to my brother in law, and I bought a 1998 extended cab, i loved that truck too, ended getting T-boned in it :(, so last year i bought a 2001 Chevy silverado crew cab...... i tried getting this truck to my taste, never liked it, so I sold it off because i got a better job, so I can say i am 20 years old and have gone back to dodge/Ram, i bought a 2012 Ram 1500 4x4 with the 5.7L hemi with 3.92 gears in the rear end, and i Fucking love this truck!
Can't say I would even consider buying a Chevy. I would think about buying a Ford, but a Dodge? No question. I would buy a Dodge any day. Best trucks for big guys and those who want a truck for just a vehicle or doing work. My father owned 4 Dodges and my grandfather owned several Dodge cars as well. Their V8s are powerful and very fast. Even Chrysler V6s are great. Legendary for reliability and power. They get good gas mileage too. Chevy and Ford could only come close with a 6 cylinder. My father said he averaged at least 19 or mpg with every Dodge he ever owned. The new Hemi can get about 23 maybe even 25 in good conditions.
well unless you stop and go alot lol, but like my ram is a crew cab 1500 with the 5.7L Hemi, my buddy has a 2011 Ford f-150 with the 5.0L, my ram can average more gas mileage then his ford, and we drive just about the same distance, and we both do drive equally, we both kinda got lead in our feet lol
My father in law had a 2001 dodge ram 2500 with the 24v cummins that had half a million kilometres and then sold it 2 years ago to buy a brand new Ram 2500 cummins longhorn...such a gorgeous truck. I wanted his old truck really bad, it was so fun to drive lol
And this is why trucks nowadays are just glorified grocery getting SUVs with a cargo bed. I place all of the blame on this Dodge Ram. But, Dodge had it right - all the fancy shit Ford and Chevy didn't have at the time, but still all business. Even as a regular cab, this Ram had plenty of features, no need for a huge cab with two extra doors to take away cargo space from the bed. I just don't see trucks in the form of a regular cab anymore, even more so with a long box.
As far as the argument for which of these old trucks last the longest? They all kick ass just the same when it comes to longevity. In general, I believe the only weak spot in a truck is an automatic transmission. But, in general, I believe any of these old Ford, Chevy and Dodge trucks could last a million miles, if properly taken care of. Can the new trucks last as long? We'll have to wait and see. I'd guess that they could, but just about every bell and whistle will be broken if not met with a slush box failure first.
Masayoshi, around where I am, So Cal, to get the barebones single cab with 8' bed, you have to go to a dealer that specializes in fleet commercial sales. They still make them, and sell them, no one pays attention to them. Even the electric company out here has a massive fleet of F-series, from F-150 to the F-650, all in XLT trim, not even base XL. All the regular Dealers sell the fancy toy pickup trucks.
i think the reason is the interiors start to fall apart ive probably had 6 of these 2nd gens and they always have broken dashes cupholders etc. even though there great trucks and actually my favorite
I have a weird question, did power seats exist back then because at 2:42 someone is adjusting their seat from the side, or did they just have the lever on the side on that truck?
Man i remeber when this truck came out. there was nothing like, there was just something different about the body, interioir JUST EVERYTHING THAT EVERYBODY LOVED. Now every truck kind of emulates this design
I'm loveing my ram 5.2l but the motor is knocking not sure if I should rebuild it or swap a turbo dissel is dissel like e85 as to where you have to flow more with bigger pump and lines if not I simpel swap with the ecu and some soldering it's done lol it's to bad my truck only has 130k on it..
I have a 90' F250 XLT Lariat supercab longbed, ZF5 speed, 4x4, tow package, rear anti-lock, International 7.3L IDI V8 diesel with Banks turbo, straight piped, propane injection system, with 122,000 miles.. and still, this video made me think about how a dodge would be to own instead...even though I ADORE my ford.
I miss my 94 ram it had a 360 but my first born just turned 16 so I gave it to him but at least I treated my self to a new 6.1 HEMI RAM long live dodge

3:28 Lol "Dodge Ram has features that trucks aren't supposed to have..." "easy to read gauges, DOOR HANDLES"
I remember when these were released in late 1993, people couldn't believe it. This truck really was a game changer.
elton john because dodge had the same brick flat front end for the previous 30 years
well so did everybody else
Answering his cell while driving. Times have changed for sure.
i dont know what you're talking about, people still do that
Isham but they don't advertise you doing it in a positive way now is what he was trying to get across

travis8352 yep chevy is the worst in the main truck business

Don't forget you can talk to them now through your phone. Like wtf

The new super duty has heated steering wheel. Gay
Ram should bring back the V10 in their base models.
I own and drive my '99 Dodge 3500 w/ 24-valve Cummins, with 265,000 miles. Still running strong.
I had a 97 dodge ram 1500.
Greatest truck ever.
Put 326,000 miles on it.
Love dodge one thing they forgot about the cup holders dont put a 44 oz go cup in the cup holders and take a hard corner youll regret it
these dodge ram still looks good and still easy to work on
Ricky Davis keyword "work on" because rams are pieces of shit
Mr. FishPlants shut up bozo it's 23 years old
I remember when the new dodges come out back then. They were a very well deserved and amazing re design and set the standard for putting curves back on trucks.
olders trucks have personality i feel like newer trucks are too nice like a SUV
this commercial accidentally convinced me to really want a second gen ram

Larry I seriously doubt those modern will outlast the old trucks.
Holdadolla Couldn't agree more man and I seriously they'll outlast my 96 F150.
im a die dard bar bones 80s ford guy, guys this commercial could have sold me a dodge superb work dodge marketing
While 23 years and almost 300,000 miles have taken their toll on my old Ram. Its still a dependable work horse. Still works every day, Wish It had heated mirrors though :(
I have this promotional video on VHS, it came in a box that looked like a small tool box.
a 98 club cab with the 360 a 5-speed and 3.73 gears... my dream truck
I'm not a dodge guy but dam this add makes me want one😂😂 great video

2nd gen Ram FTW
I'd take a 20 year old 12 valve over a new truck today...they were just better back then.
Anythings better 20 year ago than today
True
Couldn't agree more, I love my '97 12 valve
same
You can't be serious? Better? I guess you don't give a fuck about tow capacity, or fuel economy. Old doesn't mean better. When it comes to pickups, old usually means shit. The only thing these have going for them is their looks.
5:10 he answers a cell phone while driving and they're advertising it!! Lmao
Loved my 94 Ram short bed with a 360.
Pearl Blue and grey.
Thing could haul.
God damn. Modern day v6s have just as much horse power as a 1990's v10 o.0
ive watched this video maybe 100 times, and i still want my dodge... looking at a 98 ram with the 360 at the moment.
I went out and bought a 02 with a 5.9 ho cummins and a 6 speed!
Just sold my 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 with 148,000 mi. I bought it almost brand new in 2001 with only 16,000 miles. That truck never failed me. I never had to spend a single dime on it besides regular maintenance. I don't think I'll ever find another truck as reliable as that one:(
96 ram 12 valve still running with only 176k miles on her. Hope to get another 176k out of her
+Ethan Logan I got 670.000 on my 12 valve! Stock turbo, injectors and shes on her 3rd tranny lol
you must be hard on transmissions to go through three of them I maxed out the tachometer four times on my 89 Power Ram 250 and never had to replace the transmission.
1998 12 valve here. 260k, big injectors, lotsa boost, built auto. Runs like a champ and is mean as shit doin' it
Man this made me almost tear up, I have a 95 5.2 v8 regular cab dodge ram with 224k miles and still starts right up and drives and sounds good, no check engine light...I previously had a v6 2001 ram I stupidly traded for an old junky beat up firebird car, I guess you live and learn though.

2:24 if i had a nickel
if only dodge still put this much effort into their trucks
I want a Cummins so bad
I had a 98, 2wd with the 318 magnum.
..It got 8 MPG haha
Those trucks will still outlast most of the newer trucks today.
"So you can hear your phone ringing on the highway"
Man how the world has changed! We're the drivers better back then or did it just prove to be unsafe? Either way it's crazy to watch this.
Mine is a 1998 4x4 and still going at over 300000 km also had a 1995 1 ton and a 1998 1/2 ton.
Haha 5:10 they advertise for answering your phone in the car, wouldn't see that today

Favourite video of the year
bring tears to my eye's 😢so AWESOME
my dad had a 96 Ram now that was a pickup
now im driving a 03 dakota and tbh i hate it
you should trade it in and get a ram. I have a 99 ram with the 5.9L and it's a beast.
Ive got both. A 98 dakota with the 3.9 v6 with 250k and a 99 ram 2500 with 5.9 v8 with 202k. I love my Dodge trucks
Love my 05 Dodge 2500 HEMI! It's my second Dodge. My 1st was a 01 2500 with the 360v8. Glad to have such a good truck. Also,the old truck commercials were the best
Lol 3:30 "Doorhandle" you'd hope pick ups would come with them!
never surprised forever underestimated the eighties and the nineties Chrysler products to be the most inventive and most ahead of their time
Before the Germans and then Italians got ahold of them! Wish they could go back to their former glory.
That'd be great , my 01 dodge ram has 10 times less the problems
then my dads 2011 ram . Plus i miss Dodge rams , not RAMS.
What kind of problems is he having and would he buy that truck again? I ask because I'm in the market.
Pastor Matthew where are you from? I would recommend a 94 to 2000 Dodge Ram
Pastor Matthew Just small things like seals and water leaks mostly , he would buy another nice and clean 1994-2001 dodge preferably
I have my 2001 5.2, it made me fall in love with dodge. Once I get money I'll trade it in for the same Gen 2500 desiel
I love this! I have a 2000 version of that blue one! ^°^
Love driving my 94 dodge 1500 she drives as good as in this video
The good old days when a truck was just a simple truck. Power windows and a/c was luxury back then.
I'd rather have a 2nd gen than pay $50,000 for a new one
IM just saying, my dad is a ford guy, he owned a 1999 Ford 150, it was a good dependable truck, but i always loved my uncles 3/4 ton 1998 Ram 2500, so when i turned sixteen i bought a 1995 Ram $1500 single cab long bed for 1500, i loved that truck, i sold it to my brother in law, and I bought a 1998 extended cab, i loved that truck too, ended getting T-boned in it :(, so last year i bought a 2001 Chevy silverado crew cab...... i tried getting this truck to my taste, never liked it, so I sold it off because i got a better job, so I can say i am 20 years old and have gone back to dodge/Ram, i bought a 2012 Ram 1500 4x4 with the 5.7L hemi with 3.92 gears in the rear end, and i Fucking love this truck!
Can't say I would even consider buying a Chevy. I would think about buying a Ford, but a Dodge? No question. I would buy a Dodge any day. Best trucks for big guys and those who want a truck for just a vehicle or doing work. My father owned 4 Dodges and my grandfather owned several Dodge cars as well.

well unless you stop and go alot lol, but like my ram is a crew cab 1500 with the 5.7L Hemi, my buddy has a 2011 Ford f-150 with the 5.0L, my ram can average more gas mileage then his ford, and we drive just about the same distance, and we both do drive equally, we both kinda got lead in our feet lol
+Robert Baratheon Be careful about the 2.7L V6. It's a POS Engine. Other than that, most Dodge engines are solid.
BrodyZeWonder That's a Chrysler engine I avoid.
Now the 225 slant 6 was a good engine.
best body style
They didn't mention the damn universal joints
ahhh back when dodge had 360 and not hemi the good old days
how i feel about the V10 dam i love that engine wish they wouldnt have discontinue it
Ronnie Mata
2nd gen will always be my favorite pickup
My father in law had a 2001 dodge ram 2500 with the 24v cummins that had half a million kilometres and then sold it 2 years ago to buy a brand new Ram 2500 cummins longhorn...such a gorgeous truck. I wanted his old truck really bad, it was so fun to drive lol
And I think I've decided on my next work truck.
Cjrm3gtr I can see that from your profile pic
And this is why trucks nowadays are just glorified grocery getting SUVs with a cargo bed. I place all of the blame on this Dodge Ram. But, Dodge had it right - all the fancy shit Ford and Chevy didn't have at the time, but still all business. Even as a regular cab, this Ram had plenty of features, no need for a huge cab with two extra doors to take away cargo space from the bed. I just don't see trucks in the form of a regular cab anymore, even more so with a long box.

In general, I believe the only weak spot in a truck is an automatic transmission. But, in general, I believe any of these old Ford, Chevy and Dodge trucks could last a million miles, if properly taken care of.
Can the new trucks last as long? We'll have to wait and see. I'd guess that they could, but just about every bell and whistle will be broken if not met with a slush box failure first.
Masayoshi, around where I am, So Cal, to get the barebones single cab with 8' bed, you have to go to a dealer that specializes in fleet commercial sales.
They still make them, and sell them, no one pays attention to them.
Even the electric company out here has a massive fleet of F-series, from F-150 to the F-650, all in XLT trim, not even base XL.
All the regular Dealers sell the fancy toy pickup trucks.
Dodge been savage 😂
I miss my 3/4 ton 318 single cab long box
4:45 rollin coal
Great truck, the one that got me away from Chevy and Ford. Enough said...
LMFAO!!!!!! I was thinking the same thing.
i love the older dodge rams i would trade my chevy for one of them any day
Have seen a V6 1993 dakota haul 5,000 lbs on a regular basis. Great work trucks
"Door handles"
funny thing about this is how many dodge trucks from this era are still on the road compared to gm and ford, lol most ended up in the crusher.
I like how In 94 dodge was practically saying it was ok to be on the phone behind the wheel in a commercial. Now it's a huge fine
Sold!!
I'm getting a 1997 Ram 1500 Club Cab SLT 4x4 on Wednesday. I'm so excited and can hardly wait!!! It will be my first pickup truck.
Nice!!!
Just brought her home tonight! Drove all the way to Watertown, SD with my dad to get it. 250 mile trip both ways! Video coming soon.
That music though. I wanna go buy a '94 Dodge.
Did I see a 8L V10. 😃
i think the reason is the interiors start to fall apart ive probably had 6 of these 2nd gens and they always have broken dashes cupholders etc. even though there great trucks and actually my favorite
My father still has his V10 2500. Still running strong. The dashboard needs to be replaced, bad material used in the year
Holy shit the first commercial fucking made me want one like holy shit they knew how to advertise

Man this makes me want a 24 valve cummins even more now! This is the best body style Dodge Ram in my opinion.
I have a 1998 with a Cummins and am about to hit 200,000 miles. Never let me down.
Love my DODGE 2500.
I have a weird question, did power seats exist back then because at 2:42 someone is adjusting their seat from the side, or did they just have the lever on the side on that truck?
Yes they did have power seats my old 1995 chevy had them
Trucks@69 wow that's fancy, I didn't know they had them then.
Where Can I get a copy of this
There are a lot of those still on the road !
Man i remeber when this truck came out. there was nothing like, there was just something different about the body, interioir JUST EVERYTHING THAT EVERYBODY LOVED. Now every truck kind of emulates this design
I'm loveing my ram 5.2l but the motor is knocking not sure if I should rebuild it or swap a turbo dissel is dissel like e85 as to where you have to flow more with bigger pump and lines if not I simpel swap with the ecu and some soldering it's done lol it's to bad my truck only has 130k on it..
I own a 98 quad cab 4wd with a 360 and 234000 miles still runs strong and shifts great love my dodge
I proudly own a 1994 1500 with the 5.2, I have 221,235 miles and she still runs like she just came off the lot!
