Nobody cares. These prices are dumb...free the middle class!
Dealerships: I don't know why nobody is buying our vehicles. Also Dealerships: Let's charge $100k+ for a truck!
This is the bosses. It was never meant for us. Side note it is wild how there’s and almost $70k difference in options from base to top luxury level
@@yunghernando3946👍🏻
You do realize individual dealerships have a tiny % of effect on price right? The MANUFACTURER controls invoice, MSRP, etc.
Exactly, I looked at the local Nissan dealer and they had a market adjustment price for all Nissan Titans. Nissan is stopping production because of sales and the local dealer is gouging.
@@BadoreksDailys true
All the new vehicles have so many awesome features, as a mechanic with 40 years experience I feel sorry for the next mechanics because there will be many nightmare repairs. Simple is better in long term ownership.
Job security!
That's why stripped not equipped is better
This complexity will have people looking for 02 camrys in the future. These new cars are a nightmare for mechanics.
At that price point, they wont sell too many but glad they made this- absolutely beautiful interior.
Agreed. .. Spot on. .. However you would be surprized of the numbers for the highest trim models sold to the dealerships. .. With an impressive $ margin to boot. .. An $80K, say $90K pickup truck? .. What's the world coming to!
@@michaelschneider- As a FCA salesperson, I agree there are a lot of people that will still buy this truck. However, the margins are profit are not high at all. One huge misconception is that you make a ton of money on high dollar new units. You definitely do not. Especially when they put 6-7,000 in rebates.
I would like to see the interior of that truck in 10 yrs, that nice soft touch dash with the fake leather on it may look like alligator skin, (peeling and crunchy) after being in the sun
@@armyboy1207you will starve before you see a lot of 90k purchases
Not sure with the big deal is on the tungsten edition interior. If I'm not mistaken, it's the same/very similar interior to the 2018 and 2021 indigo blue interior of the Limited 1500 Hemi.
It's a cool truck, and I even don't hate the switch to inline 6 VS the old Hemi. More power and more efficiency is always welcome. It's just a shame that the vast majority of people have been priced out of the new car market, and will likely never get to own one.
Sure they will. Depreciation.
You couldn’t give me a I6 full size truck. Total blah sound and 1000% uninspiring.
lol you say that like never having to own a Chrysler Stellantis Dodge Fiat is a bad thing
@jrparker4804 you should be worrying about reliability a lot more
Why don't you hate it? What business does a twin turbo I6 have doing in a truck?
Ill keep my old 2017 Ram, 5.7 Hemi with only 122,000km and has been a great truck and still like new, no issues and i got a good one, no Hemi tick.
Sorry for you, but just wait until around 200k kilometers and you will have your Hemi tick too(with fuel consumption raising year by year): Hemi have a big design camshaft lubrification flawn (I know by experience 😢)
Crap! Way over drama! I owned two hemis. Never a issue and the hemi tick Is a cracked exhaust manifold not cam shafts. Lol. If you got duped into a rebuild by a mechanic shop your the issue not the hemis
Almost two hundred ram/jeep sitting at my local dealer. They’re offering almost $20k discounts on some models.
$10k cash back and zero percent financing are gonna be back by 2025. These $70k pigs are piling up on lots
Not by us. I stuck my head out and looked around...they can keep their overpriced rotting trucks.
Still not a reasonable price
marked up like crazy from the factory and everyone knows it. no thanks, not paying for Stellantis' EV gamble
I got a new 2023 Ram Big Horn with 69 miles for 20k under MSRP once the 2024 trucks hit the lots.
Think the technology is getting a little ahead of itself without proving much long term durability. The cost of these trucks keep going up while the engines are getting smaller and more complex without any cuts in pricing. The ability to service your own vehicle is getting more difficult and parts are less accessible or of lower quality. The vehicles look nice, but I can't justify the price for what you get. I generally would give it a few years before considering buying one at a lower price if at all.
Most people these days don't care to service thier own vehichles anyway.
@calebmelton5989 Well, I got an 07 Yukon Denali and had to buy a used rear wiper motor recently because they no longer make them (oem and aftermarket). Can't imagine the trouble finding and replacing some of these specialized touch screens (new escalade) or electronic parts when they fail years later. Guess you'd be lucky if there's any aftermarket option for them.
Why buy that computer to tell you how to drive, just put your wife in the passenger seat. Haha
True 😂
Truth
Yuuup
Now you can have both!!! 🤪
Because the wife is more expensive? 😂
Air suspension.......a must if you want an astronomical repair bill repair bill when, not if, but when they fail. Mercedes, Ram, Lincoln and every tractor trailer you see on the road. They all fail, and a whole sooner than leafs or coils. Jus Sayin.
Looks like it could be called the Grand Durango with that front end
Seems like the big 3 are all styling thier trucks after SUVs right now.
Yup it looks nice but shows like an SUV
No bumpers
Except ford tho
@@benjaminbrown7127 Their F150/ 250 are rounding out a bit, but didn't go for the SUV look, however, they ARE going that way with the Ranger and Maverick. I prefer the new Ranger over the last Gen, which was very pro street looking, but I'd still prefer a blocky, masculine look on a truck.
I’ve owned 3 Rams including the 2019 Ram limited which I sold never never would I pay 90k or 80k for a truck never!
I've owned 3 rams as well and loved them! Absolutely agree would never pay that much for these, ridiculous!
im with you. just to damn expensive now.
For 1500 I agree. Almost all 2024s are on sale and you can still find 2022 & 2023 on some lots.
Lol you paid 90K for a truck?
Funny. I said the same thing about buying a $40k truck years ago.
The 2025 Ram 1500 is a very nice looking, powerful and with a luxury interior second to none. The price is far beyond what I would budget for a vehicle but there is no denying it's about as nice as it gets.
Massively overpriced junk for the gullible and wasteful
Beautiful, awesome truck. Just to expensive, like all of them now days
These are fantastic trucks, love my '21 Bighorn, but most people won't be buying this top trim Tungston, I would love to see a Bighorn 4x4 with the auto drive (if available) reviewed, an upper mid-level truck that most people will buy. Great informative videos as usual guys!
Didn’t stilantis just layoff a bunch of people and gave its CEO a 20million bonus…
Media only reports on Tesla misfortunes and not legacy auto misfortunes.
@@TheJoncicain’t that the truth
Yep, and the reason why is that is the case definitely should be something TFL should be talking about. I've heard some bad corporate ideas before, but this one is special in a bad way.
They always give the CEO a bonus when he protects the share price which oftentimes is done by laying off a bunch of people.
@@kabloosh699 sad but true. Also, destructive for the company long term, but that's a whole separate thing.
Great review Andre!
Ram makes a great interior.
I've seen better in a $60k Nissan Platinum Reserve but I guess if you like a drab grey interior then this one takes the cake.
@@dogg92 😂 you gotta be kissing me
@@getstuk87 Na, I'm good. Appreciate the offer though.
Great job Andre!!!
Awesome dashboard, like what they did with the transmission and differential controls, beautiful interior!
Nice review. That parking attendant in the beginning was just a little ray of sunshine wasn't she.
Lol its Detroit
@@exploregeology4650 surprised he wasn’t carjacked..
I just picked up a 23 Ram Classic regular cab 4x4 with the 5.7 and 8ft box. 47k Cdn with tax. The salesman said, No one is buying high end Rams or Jeeps because of the price gouging from Stellantis! He even said dealers up here are refusing new models because their lots are full with 22 & 23 models and they can't sell.
The base SST would be a great power train on the wrangler unlimited
You are telling me that for that price, there are features it doesn't have? 😂
At that price every option should come with it.
Looking forward to watching , thanks, have a Blessed Day!
For whom willing to buy/prefer the V8 Hemi: Hemi have a big camshaft lubrification design flawn (I know by experience 😢). So, around 200k kilometers Hemi tick start to occurr with fuel consumption raising year by year…
Congratulations Andre and thank's by your trim and excellent review. impossible not to bring back my memories BIG HUG from CDMX, México! 😮
Looks great
Glad to see the door mounted power seat controls commonly found on early 1990’s Chevy Caprices and Ford Crown Vic’s have returned. Those are great.
Time to get some rec dank Andre
I don’t see why people are so happy to drive a vehicle that drives itself. That's a feature that i would absolutely hate.
Great podcast Andre!!
enjoyed seeing the new powerful Ram truck. This brought back a lot of memories. I bought a new 1978 Lil Red Express. and had a silver regular cab SRT10 Ram. i miss both trucks a lot.
You are correct about the stacks Andre, I’m an owner of a 1979 Dodge Lil Red Express
Just towed my camper with GM super cruise, works fabulous.
The little red express truck was the fastest vehicle you could buy, even faster than a corvette.
Hahahahaha
Trucks didn't have to meet as strict emissions regulations as cars did so it's 360 produced more power than the 360 in say, a Dodge Aspen R/T or Chrysler Cordoba.
@@user-pgchargerse71 It was the 360 police interceptor motor
@@Policearegood-mt6kx he is telling the truth
@@user-pgchargerse71 no catalytic converter on those trucks either
Grew up in MI, now live in NY. Hearing those freeze/thaw expansion joints really brought back some memories. 😄 Winters are super hard on the roads so they need big expansion joints there.
Michigan doesn’t spend much money on their roads anyway
@@pathunter7003You’re basing this on what? You obviously don’t live in Michigan - dang near every major freeway is being worked on, especially in the SE area of the state. I’m not just talking about repaving, but entire reconstruction.
That is one good looking truck on the inside specially.
That is one nice ride!
Nice looking whip!
Have to admit, although I am a v8 man, I believe Toyota and Nissan made it abundantly clear, the turbo straight six is the closest thing to a perfect engine. Really wish GM would have done it in their previous Trailblazer SS.
wow, it's like they read my mind... I need a truck with MORE sensors.
It’s a gorgeous pickup 🤠
Grand Wagoner Tungsten! I love it!
Wish it would’ve been a complete refresh with a new exterior.
But then it wouldn't be a proper margin-maxxing cash cow, making up for Stellantis' terrible decision to all-in EVs.
I love the new styling. I also wish I could afford it.
Can't wait to buy one in 12 years
Adjusting for inflation that 1954 Power Wagon would be $14,500 today😮. And the little red express would be only $22,500.Yes please!
That silver reflection off of the red PW 😊 Looks like the new truck that comes out tomorrow 🤠
Beautiful truck, awesome interior. If I had the money I’d consider it along side a sierra Denali ultimate but maybe in a few years when we know about any gremlins in that hurricane engine.
My local dealer has the new ‘25MY’s for almost $9,500 off (unconditional dealer discount), and they just landed on dealer lots this month…
Great styling.
It's nice to see my neighborhood in the video. Btw on 94 there are always a bunch of deer hanging around lol
Just what america needs a $90K hands free self driving mopar P/U.
We can absolutely hear the expansion joints.
Love Ram trucks. If and when I need to get a new truck I will stick with Ram, but I’m eyeing the Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter because it has that off road look that I like. Even though the Hemi V8 is gone, twin turbo V6 standard is pretty powerful compared to the current V8. I wouldn’t need the high output, not a gas saver because of having to use a higher octane. Still a awesome truck
🔥Thanks Andre and Ian..Love the Morning Coffee Entertainment 😁..Have GOOD Week Ahead everyone ✌️
Thank you for the kind words.
That’s the fastest truck on the market right now
Oh wow! you were right by me! Heck, are you still out this way? I CDL-catered to international planes here, crazy to see familiar areas in a video! Got a low mile 2nd gen 4.0 tacoma trd off road with low miles if you wanted to see one (as if the millions out west weren't enough)
Wow Wow big Truck Lots af Money
Where's the midsized trucks?
2027
Toyota, Ford, Nissan, and I suppose Honda.
Dakota !
@@843MudMafia. It was expected to be 2024 for a new Dakota. But it didn't happen.
@@289Mustang67 2027
We definitely hear it In Your mic
On the trailer break gain. Mine has a function up and down on the steering wheel.
Super nice..I'd love to have one of these. But there is absolutely no way with that price tag lol.
I’m drawn to that truck too. I started driving in 1978.
I would like to get a ‘74 truck, that was my first truck. Very hard to find in decent condition, they didn’t make that big of a volume of trucks back then and few survived
This would be a great lease vehicle provided there will be good leasing programs.
Over $90,000! Seriously? You can fit 6 lawyers or doctors in that truck!
I can drive hands free too… with my knees
Ike gauntlet for that HO SST. That would be interesting at 80 degrees.
First off, welcome to Michigan sir! As a Ram owner I would like to say, as much as I like the truck I don’t like hearing the price and the fact that it still isn’t loaded to the top for that amount of money.
Yay a nice truck only the super rich will be able to afford! As for me i personally will say so not get the one with the big screen! I have seen plenty of issues with the modules that control the screen freezing, getting an improper update it showing response time! The more technology these vehicles get the more room for error when it comes to software getting screwed up! Any ways id steer clear of that big screen! But i so like the additional cameras on the trailer
Nice haircut! Lol. When my 4xe Wrangler comes off lease in 18 months I will have some good choices! Hands free is a must.
@35:09 you can see the reflection of the RHO in the power wagon
When are we gonna hear more specifics on the RHO? Waiting to see how much they down graded the truck? I know the transmission has been downgraded, but frankly, the SST HO does not need the torque capacity of the 6.2L SC. But, what about brakes? Will it still have the 18” rims with 325mm wide tires. If too many downgrades, will be buying my 1st F-150 (Raptor). But, really enjoyed my past Rams. Fingers crossed they kept everything but the drivetrain from the TRX.
Badass truck
I actually think the RAM RHO stands for "Ram Hemi Omitted"
Nice coverage Andre. Please start reviewing and comparing baseline trucks. I don’t like only being reminded how much I cannot afford things at the top end.
Oh and ive done a windshield on one of those lil red express trucks ...awesome truck but man replacing that windshield was a nigbtmare lol
I did not expect the Dodge M80 to be that small 🤣🤣🤣 in pictures it looks like a full size truck omg 🤣🤣
Come on Andre!! Find a way to convince Ram to give you early access to the RamCharger for some Ike Gauntlet testing!!
I’ve owned 3 Rams. 2011, 2016 and a 2019. All three leaked water in from the rear brake light and all 3 the black pillar decals had to be replaced. Have they fixed the issues with the rear brake light leaking into the interior?
I have a 2017, it was never the rear brake light leaking, its actually the rear cabin vents, the gaskets are cheap and degrade over time, allowing water to flow behind and into the truck, parts are cheap but have to remove the entire back seat to replace
@@youngblood23rb the 3rd brake light gasket was very much a issue for leaks. I’ve had 2012 & 2014 1500’s and still have a 2015 2500 and I had to replace the 3rd brake light gaskets on all 3 to fix leaking into the cab. I never touched the vents on any of them.
I had two Ram's a 2010 and 2014 and neither had any leaks anywhere... however my 14 did have the issue with the pillar decals crinkling.
From my experience every brand of truck has small stuff like that happen. Buddy has a 2013 f 150 starting to fall apart electronically.
@@SoonerMikeD Just explaining my experience, did you remove your back seat and test the vents to see if they are water tight? If so I am glad you got lucky
18:44 where are the separate amber turn signals like proper tailllights have?
You guys should have a “cruise off”. Compare each manufactures autonomous cruise system through a series of tests establishing which one is the best at recognizing hazards, least hands on needed, best while towing, etc.
Did they add guide lines for the front camera view?
The vented seats in our 2021 Ram Limited are absurdly loud in both the front and rear seats. Many have compared it to static when on an empty channel. Also, the 2 speakers on the roof are great until you have someone in the middle seat. For some reason, the speakers right by both of your ears gives you a really bad headache. The most annoying thing about the truck is the lack of physical buttons for heated/vented seats in the front. The truck is only 3 years old and the leather on the front dash is peeling up. Door handles feel like super cheap plastic on the inside.
I am really excited about the new Straight Six engine. I finally make 6 figures and I still cannot afford the prices of new vehicles now. I guess buying replacement parts will be the wisest expense.
Biggest complaint of my grand Wagoneer (other than the 7 times it’s been to the dealer for repairs) is the tire noise coming through. I have a 23 series 3 obsidian and on blacktop it’s perfect super quiet but on concrete roads it’s very intrusive. As stated in this video, the expansion joints are heard but worse, felt clearly in the cabin - not something I’m particularly happy about after writing a check (after a decent dealer discount) for $105k
Is that a flip over tonneau cover? Also, I can’t imagine the secondary cost of owning one of those things.
Andre i really enjoy your positive outlook on life. The TFL Team rocks
Do you know why granite crystal and the Forged blue are unavailable on a new truck if it's a listed color?
It may be a Tungsten but when it comes to American made trucks fancy trim levels on a Ram are like polishing a turd.
My 2018 Ram 1500 limited with indigo interior looks very similar to the 2025 tungsten interior. I believe it is the same through 2019-2021indigo interior as well. 🤔
I'm a ford guy, but i really liked the 5th gen's styling prefacelift. They really massacred the styling here
I have never been in a vehicle where you couldnt hear expansion joints or some road noise. Maybe a rolls royce? I have had man mercedes and lexus and i have always heard noise. I have a 2022 laramie ram and its very quiet. Your in a moving vehicle where road condition dictate the noise levels. Its also Andre so i understand.
To tell how accurately you are centered in your lane look at the lane markers in both side view mirrors. If the mirrors show the markers are equal distance from your vehicle you are centered.
It's a shame that the self driving function won't help the blind or senior citizens. If I had set GPS to take me to the hospital and the system detects that I pass out does it just stop the self driving? Does it pull over so I can die at the side of the road? I would like my 85 year old dad to have the self driving but it is a useless feature if he isn't 100% capable to drive. I won't pay for that feature for myself since I can't see trying to pay close attention to something I am not doing. I like everything else though except for the skylight and the 5ft box. I need an 8ft or at least 6.4ft box. The high octane fuel would be hard to afford. Love the Ram box. Wish it was called Dodge still. I have a 2 year old Ram Hemi so I will have to wait 4 more years to buy another. Good presentation.
The original Ecoboost should have been a modern take on the Ford 300 but with turbos. Ram is showing why that would have been the best Ecoboost.
Every time I watch and it turns out to be the highest trim level, I tune out. Show me the Bighorn, something the average guy working construction or in a factory can afford to pull his 20 year old bass boat.
At the end of the video, he went into other trucks. Ram M80 concept, I wished they made a hybrid of that mid size truck. They made the Dodge Nitro SUV. But they needed it to also be a pickup. M80 or Nitro nose mid size pickup. What is missing is a 4cyl economy small pickup similar to 1st gen Dodge Dakota with optional 8ft bed. Ford Maverick hybrid pickup needs a workman's standard cab long bed. Some auto manufacture needs to bring back 2dr standard cab with 8ft box. I wonder if the 3.6L will be offered as a hybrid so low end torque is handled by the electric motor. Any snap acceleration would be handled by the electric motor. While the 3.6L can do the maintaining of speed. I wonder if they should turbo the 3.6L for those who travel in higher altitudes. Mild boost.
We have the passenger screen in our 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, and we love how the passenger can enter navigation directions and send it to the center screen for the driver while driving down the road.
