You do know your truck is awesome right? And if you had the upgrades you speak of, you would still want more right? Let me just suggest to be happy with what you have.

Laramie and Limited have more to do about luxury than function, and this video is all about function. I personally do not care for the Limited and Luxury trim styles. For example, I wish the Big Horn had the passive entry system as an option, whereas the passive entry is a standard feature on the Laramie and Limited. It doesn't make sense to me that passive entry, which is available on lesser trim package FCA vehicles on other model lines, is not even possible on the most popular (Big Horn) edition of Ram.
I think the auto park brake in reverse is a great feature. Every numbnut thinks they won't send their truck ghosting down the boatramp or driveway when in reverse but it happens all the time. There's absolutely no good reason to have a truck in reverse with the door open. Park it, check your line, move again.
It is not slamming it into park. It is applying the brake first until it comes to a full stop, then going into park. They give you 3 mirrors and a backup camera and you want to open the door lmao. I cant even use the backup camera. Learn how to use mirrors
Seriously. Never heard of anybody opening their door to line up with a trailer. Especially considering there's a camera angle looking directly at the damn hitch.
I dont have a back up camera and I just had the recall done, I cant stand not being able to back up with out opening the door. I can drive the big trucks cdl holder. anyone know how to bypass that or the door ajar sensor?
@@curtiswarner7045 . I have 2017 Durango that dose same thing, stops when I'm in reverse with door open...hate that...so I found a cheap fix..get 2" long screwdriver bit 1/4" shank...

A few things. (1) u don’t have to be connected to WiFi to use the Uconnect. (2), don’t open your door when in gear, no reason to. Your side mirrors will fold down to see your lines, plus u have crystal clear camera for backing up. No need to open the door. Break the bad habit. (3) I have the same exact truck as u except mine is a Laramie but same engine and gears. I use nothing but 87 octane and average over 18 MPG’s. My truck is still stock tho as far as tires and no level or lift. Maybe u should trade in for the Laramie.
@@joefatony5711 Then 90% are doing it wrong. Learn how to drive correctly. You don't see CDL (tractor trailer) drivers opening the door to stick your their head out. They use the mirrors on the doors like you are supposed to. That is why they are there. If you are backing up to a small narrow trail, opening the door is not going to help. If you are backing up to a wider trail and you can see it by opening the door and sticking your head out to look back, you can also see the trailer in the side mirror. It boils down to know how to drive.
Don't think I've ever opened the drivers door to look behind to line up a trailer....I was taught to use the mirrors...but you did have me checking my 18' Raptor and it does back up with the door open...funny part is the RAM has what has been described many times as a hi def back up camera.
Soooo the things you hate are just things you didn't want to spend money on with a higher trim package? Don't knock a truck because you wanted to save money and now hate the things you didn't buy...that are 100% available.
Like I mentioned many times in the video, I don't actually HATE these 5 things that I talked about. I love the truck overall and for the money you can't beat it!
DOOWORK PRODUCTIONS yet you found it important to post a video on UA-cam Bitching about them? Do you go for regular professional help sessions? Have you considered them if not?
Complains 1, 2, and 3 are all fixable with equipment package 2, nav upgrade and underseat storage, which would run you about 2700 dollars for all 3, you have 0 reason to complain about those as you knew exactly what truck you were buying before you handed them a check. Next time maybe look at what the truck has before droping 40+ thousand dollars on it Only valid complaint here is the door thing. If they wanted to do that it should be 7mph and it applies full breaks and parking break (but switching to neutral instead of park) would be the most logical way to make a safety feature that doesnt impede on use. With that fuel economy, I would bring that back to the dealer as even a brand new rebel before break in gets about 15mpg, if you're getting 10 on anything 89 or above then you have a problem.
I have the same model early 19. I agree with your 5. The only additional on mine was no heated mirrors. On the interstate I get 18 at 70 mph. That's not pulling a trailer. Much better than my Rubicon.
My 2019 bighorn actually did get the advertised economy, no etorque. However, i did recently level the front and went to a more agressive tire, lost about 2 miles per gallon on highway, still getting around 16 in town. I absolutely love my truck though, hemi is a beast, transmission is perfect. Mine has the black appearance package, but your white one is nice !! Great vids btw !!
I just got one of these 2019 Bighorns with the V6 to replace a 21 classic that got totaled. I love the truck. It’s actually got more than I actually need.
I got the same exact 2019 White Ram Big Horn Sport with a 3.5 inch Rough Country Lift. Szott M59 Dodge had 10 dealer lifted trucks on their lot and sold 5 the first week. My truck has dealer installed BF Goodrich All terrain T/A K02 LT285/65 R20 (34.6 inch) tires with a 3.92 rear axle. I called the dealer and asked if they recalibrated speedo for larger tires and they said no. I asked why not, because the speedo was off by 6 miles an hour at 70. So they ordered a rough country speedo calibrator. This will change transmission shift points and recalibrate the speedo. My gas mileage has gone up to 15 mpg now from 13 mpg. The truck shifts into Eco mode more often now then it did before updating speedo for larger tire size.
What you are feeling and hearing is the electric parking brake. You can disable it by turning off parking assist. It is not slamming into park it is throwing it in neutral. That is why you have to put car in park when it happens. It is not hurting your trans and it can be easily disabled.
The 8.4 nav would be awesome to remote start the vehicle. Outside of that I couldn’t care less about it. I personally like the matte finish on the surround better too. Ha It doesn’t slam it in park, the parking brake just gets set. No way would they design it to slam the trans into park while moving although it does certainly feel like that’s what happens. Fuel mileage is garbage on mine too but not near as bad as yours. I live in Iowa and have averaged 14.5 mpg since I got it back in December. I drive 50 miles round trip to work and it’s 95% highway. I have 3.92’s with the off-road package. My previous rig was a 2003 Suburban 2500 with the 8.1L in it. It would get 11.5 not towing and 9.5 towing my car on an open trailer or towing my 26’ boat. It was a beast. Mine was built in June 2019 so I don’t have the wall plugs either. I wish there at least one in the back. I will use my truck to tow my Camaro to the track and I always have to use a power inverter to charge my laptop. The wall plugs would be nice for that. I’ve contemplated putting a 12v plug in the cover below the USB’s in the back though. This would make using a power inverter much easier imo. I’d assume there’s a power wire to tie into somewhere relatively inside the console. I plan on making an under storage bin for mine. Got the idea from 5thgenrams.com. A guy used a $9 tote from Home Depot and it worked out well. I enjoy your videos on these new Rams. I have the same options on my truck as you pretty much except I have the off-road package and 3.92’s. Can’t wait to start towing with it.
The auto park can be turned off in the settings, had it happen to me a few times so I went searching through the settings and there is an option to disable it
The transmission is not being hurt by stopping because it does NOT jam or throw itself into park, it only engages the parking brake. You even proved this yourself as you showed the truck stating parking brake was self engaged and you had to shift it into park yourself, also when I buy a vehicle I make dam sure I know all the options available and decide what I want or need and what I don't and that's the vehicle I buy, dealers will hunt all over the country to find just the right one. I also believe if you click your seatbelt you can disable auto park brake anyway.
I have to say you made a good choice with the edge pulsar.The is a couple of other things you can do to that truck to improve your MPG and add some HP.I have a 2017 Ram Rebel and i installed a 50 series Flow master muffler and i also installed a K&N C.A.I Filter.I also have the Edge Pulsar and with 93 octane i was getting between 15-16 MPG.I was getting 13-14 with 87 octane without the edge but like you mentioned its winter and we are getting winter blend gasoline so this is the best a Ram will do.
On my 2019 RAM Laramie Longhorn, Crew Cab 4x4 with the 3.92 rear end I use mostly 89 octane Shell and sometimes a mix with 91 octane Shell and the fuel economy even in city stop-and-go driving is around 16.4 mpg, Highway is around 19.4 mgp (below 78 mph) ... 20" wheels with the stock Bridgestone 275's. The emergency braking with doors open (going forward and backwards) was kind of a surprise, but is a valuable safety feature as you could forget to put the dial into Park when exiting the vehicle, ... apparently happened frequently as people are used to column and center console shifters.
I have to agree with Doowork. I have the Big Horn with the 5.7l and 3.21 rear, and run 89 octane yet only get about 14mpg city driving. I wish I could get your gas mileage! There are many videos on UA-cam that address this very issue and most come up with less than advertised fuel economy.
#3 is just ridiculous. Specially when you consider the fold out box only existed because the floor wasn’t flat. The floor is now flat thus...no flip out box. Judging by these comments just about everyone recognizes that this is a silly video.
He said that backing up with the door open causes the transmission to go into park, it didn't go into park it stay in reverse only the brakes were applied, its not going to damage the transmission
I also miss the remote start thru the uconnect access app. Like u my 17 had it. Android auto is great but i hope it becomes wireless in the future. That's weird about the 12v i have a 19 black edition bighorn and it has the 12v on the rear console. I am happy the got rid of the horrible mast antenna and they illuminated the power mirror buttons for us garage parkers.
I just bought my dream truck on 1-2-19, 2019 ram 1500 crew cab with the 6'4" bed, laramie with the sports appearance package. It has the 8.4 with nav, has the trailer brake controller. Its also in delmonico red. I absolutely love this truck. Paid 51k after all was said and done. Oh also has the etorque on it. Nice video!
Tech at a dealer here, I know these trucks pretty well. #1 over complicated climate control, why is half if it on the screen? Did we forget buttons and add later? Dummies... #2 trying to move car looking out open door(precision backing up or pulling onto a hoist) auto slams into park. #3 stop/start I just personally hate this pathetic attempt to save fuel by wearing out the starter. #4 too much distracting stuff we all like and want but we should be driving, not on the computer while driving. With all this said, the truck drives incredible and I do love these trucks, but I will keep driving my 13 year old truck that's been great to me.
"things I hate" "not good" ....."ok they're little things, I dont hate, I love this truck".... Just complaining about things you didn't cough up the cash for
If you can't understand why there is an automatic Park feature on a new FCA vehicle, look up Anton Yelchin. If you want a 120V wall plug in your truck buy an inverter. You can get one that plugs into your 12V socket.
I tow trailers everyday all day. I have never opened my door to do that. use your mirror. I also have a 19 ram 1500. I do agree with almost everything you said. I wish my mirrors where electric up and down for towing only thing I wish
I have a GM and I LOVE the remote start app. It's been useful to me more times then I can count. I'd be frustrated paying 50k for a truck and finding out you can't get it, but can if you go to a higher trim. That's silly. At least they have the remote start on the key, but still a small compromise. Nice looking truck!
Your fuel mileage sucks because you idle your truck ALL THE TIME. 23:37 video time and it was idle the whole time. My 19 1500 with 3.92 gears same lift same tire size. averages 15.5 mpg. It's not winter fuel or any of the other things you say as excesses. Check you Idle time in your center display, I bet that you have hours of idle time...
I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Night Edition W/OUT navigation and I still have the UConnect with the ability to remote start from my phone. I don’t understand why the 5th Gen trucks would not have the same ability.
GPS is not a data signal. It is a one way signal encoded with the naval atomic clock time stamp. That’s why gps works on your phone or truck in wilderness areas, the dessert or in the middle of the ocean where there is no cell service. Your location is then calculated via the differential in the time stamp received from up to 10 satellites. The uconnect most assuredly works off cellular data or perhaps off the Sirius proprietary satellite connection.
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t that app a paid monthly subscription? And isn’t it also like $30 a month? I have a Laramie but no way am I paying a monthly subscription to start my truck maybe 2x a year.
So I feel like you should just learn how to back up and park without opening your door, but I’m pretty sure that is a setting that can be changed. On your radio go to settings, brakes. I believe this is the work of the “auto park brake”
I’m sure you can add the folding storage dividers under the rear seats, but that is the sole reason they got rid of the transmission hump the earlier gen rams have ......now you can flip your seats up and have stuff flat on the floor , they even have spots next to the storage bins where you can strap your cargo down
they made it that way because people would forget to put there vehicles in park somtime and there vehicles would roll away. . it dont shift the transmission into park it just applies the parking brakes. your gear seclector still said r for reverse
That's interesting about using "Waze" for your navigation via your phone. What happens if you get a call though, does it cut off the navigation? It's too bad they didn't give you a wall plug in the truck, mine has 2, one in the front and one in the back. I got a Laramie. It does have the chrome though and I do like the chrome.
Great video. Im curious about 'Car play.' I just bought a Ram and uconnect without navigation just like you did. So, I can download that app you showed and connect to phone outlet, but i did not see car play on the options. How do I get car play on my uconnect screen?
When you plug your phone in, car play will automatically pop up on your phone and you will see the car play icon on the bottom corner of your 8.4" screen..
Who reverses with the door open? I don't think in my 12 years of driving i've ever done that. I open the door and check after putting in park, but never while driving...
Things I miss from my '14 Sport to my '19 Big Horn. Alpine Stereo, 6'4" bed, extended gas tank, really miss that large gas tank. Wish I would have gotten the LED lights. I loved my '14 but it stated to have electrical problems with the radio, I like my '19.
DW I have a Big Horn with the 4x4 Off-Road package and I have the outlets. I think that’s why you may not have them. Mine is also 3.92 ratio and I get anywhere from 15 to 18mpg. I live in the Atl area and I’m on the I-285. I know that helps my mileage, not in stop and go too much, I drive my Durango for that. I also use mid grade gas mostly. I used the 93 and it didn’t give me much. Next I’m going to try 93 without ethanol in it. I don’t know if you can get that in Michigan but I know it gave my Durango 3 extra mpg on the hwy. I love the truck bro and thanks for the vids. I got a question. I bought all the black emblems from Ram, all OEM. I think you can pop the Hemi emblems out and the RAM letters on the grill out. That’s how my new pieces look, you can pop em in. I just don’t know how to get them out. I ain’t trying to damage my whip so do you know how to get them out. Keep the vids going.
Oh okay, very nice! Thanks for the support! I am not sure how you would pop them out without breaking them. Good luck with that though! Im sure it will look sweet when you get done with them!
I switched out all of my chrome emblems to black myself. The grill emblems have a small screw in the back and they are a pain to get at. You'll have to remove the grill and fascia peices under the lights. I recommend (if you're doing it yourself) taking something with a flat edge (razor,knife ect) get under a letter and pop it off. I know how it sounds but it works outstandingly well. As for the hood I took a microfiber cloth and put it on my index finger and wedged it under the front edge of the emblem. It pops up and outwards towards the front of the hood. Hope this helps. I have pics but can't post them.
What exactly is the problem? The truck provides a camera... with a zoom even.... to back up and line up for a trailer. There is zero need for opening the door now!
Remember that actor that got killed by his own jeep.. thats why the' trans does that.' I don't even know if that case is settled or not, but think it happened in 2016?
1. NAV is an $800 option in early 2019. Not worth it to me. I can start the truck when I am walking toward it and turn on the heated seats. 2. I am skipping the rear under-seat storage. I have a big dog and when the seat is up she doesn't have to stomp all over the lip of the storage container. 3. Agree on the door open / tranny lock and parking brake nonsense. I've been driving 40 years and have never seen a need for this interlock. It's annoying as hell and will surely break at some point in the future and require expensive repairs.
You might be able to unlock the nav. I had a 2017 Cherokee and I paid to have the nav unlocked. It might just be a software unlock. Check with your dealer and check out the sticker. It might say nav capable.
christopher kibler , I was just saying that the dealer can tell you if it can be a software unlock. The dealer wanted like 500 to unlock mine. I also found a coupon so I saved another 100 off. It wasn’t hard to unlock it.
I live in VT and everything is stock and I get 15/16 mpg's no etorque.. I was at the dealer and this summer ram coming out with upgrades for the radio, so you may be able to get the better radio...
The transmission wont go into park when you open the door while moving IF you have your seatbelt on , it only goes into auto park when you open the door and the seatbelt off
I have a 2018 ram and i get 16 mpg around my area just went on a trip last week and go 18 / 19 mpg , it all depends on the way you drive it , oh puls i hsve a posi rear with 392 ratios.
So you hate missing all the features you didn't pay for...and no 93 Octane does not make your truck faster. It's been tested and proven many, many times
As far as the slamming into park, it isn't safe to back up with the doors open. It is not going to hurt the transmission, it locks the brakes, so the transmission isn't turning. Just don;t do it. I mean, you have a camera and all to backup. MPG's has a lot to do with cold weather gasoline. They make a summer blend and a winter blend. Also unless you are running a tuner, anything above 87 is a waste of money. That is on you, if you feel you get better performance from 93 and you are paying at the least 50 cents plus more per gallon. Check out Tier 1 gasolines. That is a thing, google it.
The 4th gen has an update to it that will do the same thing as the 5th gen when moving with the door open. I have a 2015 big horn that had all the updates done and this happens to me. The only difference is that it does not put the parking brake on just goes to park.
I agree about the gas mileage. It sucks. Everything else is a matter of you get what you pay for. I have all those options on my Bighorn Off-road. The door thing just makes sense to me. With the quality of the backup camera I don’t really need to keep the door open anymore anyway.
I own 2018 ram, I thought there was a trans problem when it wouldn't back up like what was said. I opened the door to see how close I was to a boat parked there. It locked up and wouldn't reset till I closed the door and it reset. I hate it . And I also hate that eco bullshit from 8 cylinder to four. Makes the truck sound like shit in town, I mean 5.7 hemi dual exhaust I love the way it sounds when your foot is in it but the minute you let up and the eco kicks in how disappointing. But I do absolutely love the truck besides those to things.
Do you think the level and tires have effected the mpg? Mine is stock and run 91 and I’m getting 14. Just curious because I would like to level and add tires to mine.
Yes, the level and tires do adversely affect the mpg. More aggressive tires cause more drag, which reduces economy. Also, the factory rake enhances the aerodynamic effect, so when you level or lift the truck, it also creates more drag.
My 2019 Ram, Black sports package has the under seat storage compartments, and the 12v wall plugs. I wish I had the 8.4 nav, to start vehicle from phone
have you tried to take off your brake assist for your backing up problem. also use your back up camera. for your other things that you hate just pay more to get them.
I was trying to back up to a trailer with my 2019 ram about a year ago and could not figure out why it was forcing itself into park. Now I know it was because the door was open….
My friend I’m worried something is wrong with your truck. My Ram with the same engine trans and driveline as yours has been averaging like 17-18 mpg. I also watched your acceleration videos and I’m about a full second quicker 0-60 and your truck seems to hit a wall when you pass 70. Maybe it’s your tires? Something isn’t right.
I get 14MPG on my 2019 Bighorn with a 3.5 lift and 35x12.5x20 tires I live in NH. I don’t think you can say the 11.4 MPG is accurate when you’re warming your truck up so much that’s not actual MPG you’ll do much better in warmer weather
I have been pulling closed bed snowmobile trailers and my 30' RV for years, who the hell opens their cab door to look at where they are going!? Absolutely insane! Use the mirrors and or the back up camera!
So basically you hate you don't have the features you didn't pay for
1000%
Wow good luck with that transmission door feature would never buy this truck now
@@chrissmits3215 you can turn it off at the dealer. And the classics do it too.

I called the dealer and asked if they recalibrated speedo for larger tires and they said no. I asked why not, because the speedo was off by 6 miles an hour at 70. So they ordered a rough country speedo calibrator.
This will change transmission shift points and recalibrate the speedo.
My gas mileage has gone up to 15 mpg now from 13 mpg.
The truck shifts into Eco mode more often now then it did before updating speedo for larger tire size.
What you are feeling and hearing is the electric parking brake. You can disable it by turning off parking assist. It is not slamming into park it is throwing it in neutral. That is why you have to put car in park when it happens.
It is not hurting your trans and it can be easily disabled.
The 8.4 nav would be awesome to remote start the vehicle. Outside of that I couldn’t care less about it. I personally like the matte finish on the surround better too. Ha
It doesn’t slam it in park, the parking brake just gets set. No way would they design it to slam the trans into park while moving although it does certainly feel like that’s what happens.
Fuel mileage is garbage on mine too but not near as bad as yours. I live in Iowa and have averaged 14.5 mpg since I got it back in December. I drive 50 miles round trip to work and it’s 95% highway. I have 3.92’s with the off-road package. My previous rig was a 2003 Suburban 2500 with the 8.1L in it. It would get 11.5 not towing and 9.5 towing my car on an open trailer or towing my 26’ boat. It was a beast.
Mine was built in June 2019 so I don’t have the wall plugs either. I wish there at least one in the back. I will use my truck to tow my Camaro to the track and I always have to use a power inverter to charge my laptop. The wall plugs would be nice for that. I’ve contemplated putting a 12v plug in the cover below the USB’s in the back though. This would make using a power inverter much easier imo. I’d assume there’s a power wire to tie into somewhere relatively inside the console.
I plan on making an under storage bin for mine. Got the idea from 5thgenrams.com. A guy used a $9 tote from Home Depot and it worked out well.
I enjoy your videos on these new Rams. I have the same options on my truck as you pretty much except I have the off-road package and 3.92’s. Can’t wait to start towing with it.
Don2615 yep. Time traveler.
The auto park can be turned off in the settings, had it happen to me a few times so I went searching through the settings and there is an option to disable it
tell me more? i cant find it.
@@papabeartx under the settings tab click on safety/driving assistance it will pull up parksense options from there
Wife's jeep has 8.4 non NAV. Able to start and stop from uconnect app....
I waisted my time with this video you should pay us from your ad money for waisting our time
Im pretty sure all 8.4 systems have the gps and nav built in, you just need to pay to have it enabled at least they did on the 4th gens
The transmission is not being hurt by stopping because it does NOT jam or throw itself into park, it only engages the parking brake. You even proved this yourself as you showed the truck stating parking brake was self engaged and you had to shift it into park yourself, also when I buy a vehicle I make dam sure I know all the options available and decide what I want or need and what I don't and that's the vehicle I buy, dealers will hunt all over the country to find just the right one. I also believe if you click your seatbelt you can disable auto park brake anyway.
I have to say you made a good choice with the edge pulsar.The is a couple of other things you can do to that truck to improve your MPG and add some HP.I have a 2017 Ram Rebel and i installed a 50 series Flow master muffler and i also installed a K&N C.A.I Filter.I also have the Edge Pulsar and with 93 octane i was getting between 15-16 MPG.I was getting 13-14 with 87 octane without the edge but like you mentioned its winter and we are getting winter blend gasoline so this is the best a Ram will do.
I can't believe I wasted 11:31 minutes of my time watching this.
plumber802 No shit.. I felt the same way. Overly repetitive.
you too? lol omg
This POS looks like a TONKA
plumber802 lol thanks for this comment... now i won’t watch it. And I’m less than a minute in :)
"Seat belt buckled the truck won't auto park when you open the door" This was mentioned in a forum.
You probably have the Level 1 package. The Level 2 has the navigation radio. Most things were options to add. Laramie is the way to go lol.
Nice truck
I had a 2019 Big Horn on rental and got 22 pretty steady on 87 octane, maybe you need to lighten up on the throttle !
charles herring especially with the 3.21 gear ratio.
That and the cold weather and winter blend fuel isn't helping either.. Just a week later with temps in the 40's i've gained over 2 miles per gallon..
Economy with a Pulsar is NOT a good test.
@@jamesmcclane4854 I didn't have a Pulsar, just a plain ol' hemi
Your driving effects mpg too
On my 2019 RAM Laramie Longhorn, Crew Cab 4x4 with the 3.92 rear end I use mostly 89 octane Shell and sometimes a mix with 91 octane Shell and the fuel economy even in city stop-and-go driving is around 16.4 mpg, Highway is around 19.4 mgp (below 78 mph) ... 20" wheels with the stock Bridgestone 275's.
The emergency braking with doors open (going forward and backwards) was kind of a surprise, but is a valuable safety feature as you could forget to put the dial into Park when exiting the vehicle, ... apparently happened frequently as people are used to column and center console shifters.
I have to agree with Doowork. I have the Big Horn with the 5.7l and 3.21 rear, and run 89 octane yet only get about 14mpg city driving. I wish I could get your gas mileage! There are many videos on UA-cam that address this very issue and most come up with less than advertised fuel economy.
#3 is just ridiculous. Specially when you consider the fold out box only existed because the floor wasn’t flat. The floor is now flat thus...no flip out box.
Judging by these comments just about everyone recognizes that this is a silly video.
He said that backing up with the door open causes the transmission to go into park, it didn't go into park it stay in reverse only the brakes were applied, its not going to damage the transmission
I also miss the remote start thru the uconnect access app. Like u my 17 had it. Android auto is great but i hope it becomes wireless in the future. That's weird about the 12v i have a 19 black edition bighorn and it has the 12v on the rear console. I am happy the got rid of the horrible mast antenna and they illuminated the power mirror buttons for us garage parkers.
I just bought my dream truck on 1-2-19, 2019 ram 1500 crew cab with the 6'4" bed, laramie with the sports appearance package. It has the 8.4 with nav, has the trailer brake controller. Its also in delmonico red. I absolutely love this truck. Paid 51k after all was said and done. Oh also has the etorque on it. Nice video!
I'm getting 14.8 on a 2.5 leveling kit with 22x12 on 305 45 NT420S
Tech at a dealer here, I know these trucks pretty well. #1 over complicated climate control, why is half if it on the screen? Did we forget buttons and add later? Dummies... #2 trying to move car looking out open door(precision backing up or pulling onto a hoist) auto slams into park. #3 stop/start I just personally hate this pathetic attempt to save fuel by wearing out the starter. #4 too much distracting stuff we all like and want but we should be driving, not on the computer while driving. With all this said, the truck drives incredible and I do love these trucks, but I will keep driving my 13 year old truck that's been great to me.
"things I hate" "not good" ....."ok they're little things, I dont hate, I love this truck".... Just complaining about things you didn't cough up the cash for
If you can't understand why there is an automatic Park feature on a new FCA vehicle, look up Anton Yelchin. If you want a 120V wall plug in your truck buy an inverter. You can get one that plugs into your 12V socket.
I use 87 octane in my 19 limited and I'm getting over 18 mpg combined. I am driving maybe 65% hwy and 35% city.
Dude has no clue what octane ratings are or how they affect the truck. Thinks 93 = "premium." and can't back up without opening his door apparently.
I tow trailers everyday all day. I have never opened my door to do that. use your mirror. I also have a 19 ram 1500. I do agree with almost everything you said. I wish my mirrors where electric up and down for towing only thing I wish
Same here...i have towed countless times with many different trucks and have nvr opened my door for any backing situation. Mirrors 100% of the time.
I have a GM and I LOVE the remote start app. It's been useful to me more times then I can count. I'd be frustrated paying 50k for a truck and finding out you can't get it, but can if you go to a higher trim. That's silly. At least they have the remote start on the key, but still a small compromise. Nice looking truck!
Your fuel mileage sucks because you idle your truck ALL THE TIME. 23:37 video time and it was idle the whole time. My 19 1500 with 3.92 gears same lift same tire size. averages 15.5 mpg. It's not winter fuel or any of the other things you say as excesses. Check you Idle time in your center display, I bet that you have hours of idle time...
The Big Horn is just 1 step above a base model, so you can't expect it to have all the features you are missing.
Is it me or does this guy ramble
Well it's your fault you didnt get an addition truck with those features. You got tons of options to go through to get what you want in your vehicle
Don’t you have a remote start on your key fob
I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Night Edition W/OUT navigation and I still have the UConnect with the ability to remote start from my phone. I don’t understand why the 5th Gen trucks would not have the same ability.
Same here. IDK about you, but, I was scratching my head when he said he was getting that low of MPG. I'm getting 17-19 in town and 20-23 on the HWY.
Dude could you imagine driving down the road and your door opening? Also dodges have always had bad fuel mileage for as long as i can remember.
Which has the best gas millage f150, silverado or ram 1500?
FYI. It’s braking with the electronic parking brake not the transmission.
GPS is not a data signal. It is a one way signal encoded with the naval atomic clock time stamp. That’s why gps works on your phone or truck in wilderness areas, the dessert or in the middle of the ocean where there is no cell service. Your location is then calculated via the differential in the time stamp received from up to 10 satellites. The uconnect most assuredly works off cellular data or perhaps off the Sirius proprietary satellite connection.
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t that app a paid monthly subscription? And isn’t it also like $30 a month? I have a Laramie but no way am I paying a monthly subscription to start my truck maybe 2x a year.
It is, but it's also free for the first 6 months of owning the vehicle..
So I feel like you should just learn how to back up and park without opening your door, but I’m pretty sure that is a setting that can be changed. On your radio go to settings, brakes. I believe this is the work of the “auto park brake”
I have a 2019 with the hemi and consistently get 19 mpg going back and forth to work.
I’m sure you can add the folding storage dividers under the rear seats, but that is the sole reason they got rid of the transmission hump the earlier gen rams have ......now you can flip your seats up and have stuff flat on the floor , they even have spots next to the storage bins where you can strap your cargo down
Also I’m almost sure the automatic parking brake only applies when you open your door while on reverse only, not while on drive
$600 to have GPS programmed to your bighorn. All it is a plugin update to your 8.4 uconnect
David Holt no you go to the site and enter in the code on the touch screen after you’ve depressed the climate and rear defrost
“5 things I hate about my Ram... I really don’t hate anything about my Ram” gotta love the click bait
they made it that way because people would forget to put there vehicles in park somtime and there vehicles would roll away. . it dont shift the transmission into park it just applies the parking brakes. your gear seclector still said r for reverse
Well for it just applying the parking brake, it sure does make a loud clunk and acts like it was jammed into park..
So....Nothing is wrong or missing from the 2019 ram. It’s just you buying the wrong one 😂
That's interesting about using "Waze" for your navigation via your phone. What happens if you get a call though, does it cut off the navigation? It's too bad they didn't give you a wall plug in the truck, mine has 2, one in the front and one in the back. I got a Laramie. It does have the chrome though and I do like the chrome.
Great video. Im curious about 'Car play.' I just bought a Ram and uconnect without navigation just like you did. So, I can download that app you showed and connect to phone outlet, but i did not see car play on the options. How do I get car play on my uconnect screen?
When you plug your phone in, car play will automatically pop up on your phone and you will see the car play icon on the bottom corner of your 8.4" screen..
Who reverses with the door open? I don't think in my 12 years of driving i've ever done that. I open the door and check after putting in park, but never while driving...
Shawn Castator was the dumbest fucking thing I ever heard. With a rear view camera why is your door open numbnuts
Things I miss from my '14 Sport to my '19 Big Horn. Alpine Stereo, 6'4" bed, extended gas tank, really miss that large gas tank. Wish I would have gotten the LED lights. I loved my '14 but it stated to have electrical problems with the radio, I like my '19.
Hey bud, you could add the navigation to it. But it's 600$
This truck is long gone. My new truck has the 12" screen with nav!
DW I have a Big Horn with the 4x4 Off-Road package and I have the outlets. I think that’s why you may not have them. Mine is also 3.92 ratio and I get anywhere from 15 to 18mpg. I live in the Atl area and I’m on the I-285. I know that helps my mileage, not in stop and go too much, I drive my Durango for that. I also use mid grade gas mostly. I used the 93 and it didn’t give me much. Next I’m going to try 93 without ethanol in it. I don’t know if you can get that in Michigan but I know it gave my Durango 3 extra mpg on the hwy. I love the truck bro and thanks for the vids. I got a question. I bought all the black emblems from Ram, all OEM. I think you can pop the Hemi emblems out and the RAM letters on the grill out. That’s how my new pieces look, you can pop em in. I just don’t know how to get them out. I ain’t trying to damage my whip so do you know how to get them out. Keep the vids going.
Oh okay, very nice! Thanks for the support! I am not sure how you would pop them out without breaking them. Good luck with that though! Im sure it will look sweet when you get done with them!
I switched out all of my chrome emblems to black myself. The grill emblems have a small screw in the back and they are a pain to get at. You'll have to remove the grill and fascia peices under the lights. I recommend (if you're doing it yourself) taking something with a flat edge (razor,knife ect) get under a letter and pop it off. I know how it sounds but it works outstandingly well. As for the hood I took a microfiber cloth and put it on my index finger and wedged it under the front edge of the emblem. It pops up and outwards towards the front of the hood. Hope this helps. I have pics but can't post them.
1djsmoke Thanks my dude. I’ll let you know how it goes
What exactly is the problem? The truck provides a camera... with a zoom even.... to back up and line up for a trailer. There is zero need for opening the door now!
Remember that actor that got killed by his own jeep.. thats why the' trans does that.' I don't even know if that case is settled or not, but think it happened in 2016?
All automobiles with electronic parking brakes do this.
1. NAV is an $800 option in early 2019. Not worth it to me. I can start the truck when I am walking toward it and turn on the heated seats.
2. I am skipping the rear under-seat storage. I have a big dog and when the seat is up she doesn't have to stomp all over the lip of the storage container.
3. Agree on the door open / tranny lock and parking brake nonsense. I've been driving 40 years and have never seen a need for this interlock. It's annoying as hell and will surely break at some point in the future and require expensive repairs.
You might be able to unlock the nav. I had a 2017 Cherokee and I paid to have the nav unlocked. It might just be a software unlock. Check with your dealer and check out the sticker. It might say nav capable.
DABII71 just have to go to the Uconnect site and they walk you through. Dealers love to lie
christopher kibler , I was just saying that the dealer can tell you if it can be a software unlock. The dealer wanted like 500 to unlock mine. I also found a coupon so I saved another 100 off. It wasn’t hard to unlock it.
I have a 2022 and I do mostly highway miles all stock original tires and I get 19.6 mpg
I live in VT and everything is stock and I get 15/16 mpg's no etorque.. I was at the dealer and this summer ram coming out with upgrades for the radio, so you may be able to get the better radio...
The transmission wont go into park when you open the door while moving IF you have your seatbelt on , it only goes into auto park when you open the door and the seatbelt off
I have a 2018 ram and i get 16 mpg around my area just went on a trip last week and go 18 / 19 mpg , it all depends on the way you drive it , oh puls i hsve a posi rear with 392 ratios.
Fun Fact: You'll avoid painted bumper nicks by getting a truck with a chrome bumper.
So you hate missing all the features you didn't pay for...and no 93 Octane does not make your truck faster. It's been tested and proven many, many times
So the body painted bumpers are they still chrome?
I had a 15 ram outdoorsman with 8.4 uconnect and no navigation. And i was able to start, lock, unlock, track, from the uconnect app.
Try fastening the seatbelt then opening the door.. I believe that disables the stop and parking brake function
Good looking truck. I'm still running a very nice 2004 i built 6 years ago.
You have a camera why do you need to open the door?
MegaDee911 he’s a dumb fuck
Did you change tire size with the pulsar?
If you can’t see the lines, tilt your mirrors down. I’ve never needed to open the door for backing up to a trailer.
I think you just have a 2018 that rolled off the line super early
As far as the slamming into park, it isn't safe to back up with the doors open. It is not going to hurt the transmission, it locks the brakes, so the transmission isn't turning. Just don;t do it. I mean, you have a camera and all to backup. MPG's has a lot to do with cold weather gasoline. They make a summer blend and a winter blend. Also unless you are running a tuner, anything above 87 is a waste of money. That is on you, if you feel you get better performance from 93 and you are paying at the least 50 cents plus more per gallon. Check out Tier 1 gasolines. That is a thing, google it.
I have a 2019 5.7 Hemi (etorque) that consistently gets 20 on the road and 17 around town on 87 octane. I wonder why yours does so poorly.
When you open the door have you your Seatbelt on? Then you can turn off the handbreak and drive :). Or?
The 4th gen has an update to it that will do the same thing as the 5th gen when moving with the door open. I have a 2015 big horn that had all the updates done and this happens to me. The only difference is that it does not put the parking brake on just goes to park.
I agree about the gas mileage. It sucks. Everything else is a matter of you get what you pay for. I have all those options on my Bighorn Off-road. The door thing just makes sense to me. With the quality of the backup camera I don’t really need to keep the door open anymore anyway.
I get 20 mpg in my 2012 Ram , I have the 5.7 hemi and it’s a 4 door .
Rent one go 70 down I75 and open door. And tell us how that worked out! ;)
Tonys ToolBox if your thinking the auto park will activate it won’t.
the upgrade is worth it apple car play is the answer to your complaints i love mine just sold my 1998 to my brother very loyal best cab room period
I own 2018 ram, I thought there was a trans problem when it wouldn't back up like what was said. I opened the door to see how close I was to a boat parked there. It locked up and wouldn't reset till I closed the door and it reset. I hate it . And I also hate that eco bullshit from 8 cylinder to four. Makes the truck sound like shit in town, I mean 5.7 hemi dual exhaust I love the way it sounds when your foot is in it but the minute you let up and the eco kicks in how disappointing. But I do absolutely love the truck besides those to things.
Do you think the level and tires have effected the mpg? Mine is stock and run 91 and I’m getting 14. Just curious because I would like to level and add tires to mine.
Yes forsure..
Yes, the level and tires do adversely affect the mpg. More aggressive tires cause more drag, which reduces economy. Also, the factory rake enhances the aerodynamic effect, so when you level or lift the truck, it also creates more drag.
My 2019 Ram, Black sports package has the under seat storage compartments, and the 12v wall plugs. I wish I had the 8.4 nav, to start vehicle from phone
Check in the middle console under the phone holder, there should be a wall outlet there.
There's not.. But yes that is where they are on the trucks that come equipped with it..
It’s very simple you should of checked the options when buying a new truck and now you should trade up if your not happy with the truck accessories
Have you have any issues with your apple carplay? I have the same truck set up and I have issues with Apple CarPlay connectivity issues
Yes, every now and then it will not connect and or just shut off while driving..
have you tried to take off your brake assist for your backing up problem. also use your back up camera. for your other things that you hate just pay more to get them.
BAIT SWITCH- BooHoo so you really fon’t Hate your RAM you dislike not having tech options you didn’t upgrade model for.
Big Difference!
Only thing I hate is the little twist thing to change gears
I was trying to back up to a trailer with my 2019 ram about a year ago and could not figure out why it was forcing itself into park. Now I know it was because the door was open….
My friend I’m worried something is wrong with your truck. My Ram with the same engine trans and driveline as yours has been averaging like 17-18 mpg. I also watched your acceleration videos and I’m about a full second quicker 0-60 and your truck seems to hit a wall when you pass 70. Maybe it’s your tires? Something isn’t right.
I get 14MPG on my 2019 Bighorn with a 3.5 lift and 35x12.5x20 tires I live in NH. I don’t think you can say the 11.4 MPG is accurate when you’re warming your truck up so much that’s not actual MPG you’ll do much better in warmer weather
I have been pulling closed bed snowmobile trailers and my 30' RV for years, who the hell opens their cab door to look at where they are going!? Absolutely insane! Use the mirrors and or the back up camera!
