Ram needs to bring back the 6 speed manual
It could probably loose another 150lbs by losing that exhaust, damn California emissions.
I want a 1 hour video of this guy voice reading me "the art of war"
ALL truck manufacturers still need to better rust proof. Zinc dipping is widely used in European manufacturing and even VW has a 12 year/unlimited mile rust and body corrosion warranty.
Roll over/roof crush gains shouldnt be "only because the Government mandates it" Trucks should be built to have minimal roof crush in a roll over. Again, this comment is an all-manufacturer comment. Not justbspecific to Ram.
Correction. *should NOT be built to only have/reach minimal roof crush standards*
hello we want to hear the truck ! its a diesel
So what I have behind me here is our next recall package.
It would be nice if FCA could put the cab and bed on straight when they build them. My 2020 3500 Limited cab and bed are a full 1" offset. $88K truck and it's not even straight.
Was it built on a friday
Warranty buddy. It’s like a 2hr job.
@@vojnikjna30 I could have done it myself in an hour but let the dealer take care of it. That wasn't the point of my post (over a year ago).
@@rjterry21 although it is a bummer, Ram is not alone. My '19 2500's doors were all a bit off and hard to close. I needed to take it to the dealership's body shop and have them adjust everything. I had a brand new Ford pickup that had a bad driveline vibration from new. Turned out that the engine & transmission combination were not aligned properly within the frame and caused driveline vibration. Dealership's cure was to loosen all the motor mounts and put vehicle in drive and reverse a few times and tighten things up again. Oh and I had a brand new Toyota pickup with a faulty driveshaft. Shit happens. Wish it didn't at these prices but as long as it gets fixed under warranty I'm okay with it. We are humans after all. If it was 100% robot built then it would be inexcusable!
except for the CP4!!!! now 2 yrs and 1000s of failures they want back to the old CP3! pathetic for 80k trucks!!!!
Its a cluster fuck truck build put a catapiller engine and a two speed rear end more weight more balls
will see how many recalls will be on it. for now (bla bla bla)
same amount as any other truck go look ford up and all the recalls they have. ford make just as much junk as anyone else and so do gm

it didn't make sense. By the way i'm driving 2016 ram 2500 my next recall v06
They are doing more recalls now as a customer satisfaction campaign. Before most automakers would just let you deal with it down the road.
@@leehancock2782 exactly all automakers have there share of recalls.
CGI block. Thanks Ford!
Ford didn't invent CGI
No they brought it to mass market in a few engines and now the competition is stepping up their game too.
@Myballsitchsomethingfierce the platinum and king ranch have nice interiors but others are getting dated. New model coming soon tho!
