Hey Ben, I’ve owned a 2019 Laramie E-Torque and currently own a 22 Limited E-Torque. It’s really a no brainer, the E-Torque saves fuel. My 2019 Laramie with the 3.21 rear got 29 MPG highway. My current 3.92 rear gets me 24 MPG. The RAMS are the best looking and riding, PERIOD.

Recommended three years in a row by Consumer Reports as most reliable best-looking is subjective but I tend to agree with you there the best all-around package with the smoothest ride and the best interior and the fact that their discounted makes it an absolute no-brainer and you don't pass yourself every 5 blocks like driving a Ford

Damn that's really good for mpg. I've driven one and it doesn't lack acceleration power either for the heavy foot drivers. My opinion the best pick up on the market. Just wish trucks didn't cost so much

The people also demand a new Ram Dakota! ✊

The engine people want in their RAM is 6.4 with 485hp and 485 torque. No truck person wants a 6 or 4 cylinder.

From a recovering F-150aholic, we have really enjoyed our '22 Ram 1500 Laramie 2wd. I ordered it with the standard 5.7L non-eTorque. The truck will do a solid 21 mpgs on the interstate at 70 mph. And that's without the cylinder de-activation (that I never use 'cause I just don't think it's good for the motor, no matter what the manufacturers say). Thanks Ben, you're videos helped me decided to go with the Ram.

Ben! You slowed your roll! I enjoy your video’s even more now.

No reason we do not have a 6.4 ram 1500 It should be an option Especially on the sport. Standard on the rebel. Durango has it and it is loved by the owners. Toes more. Is faster. And would be so fitting in the world of competition we see. I am ok with ram staying pushrod V8 vs twin turbo v-6 but give us better option.

This looks more like a 2022 Laramie. All 2023 Hemi's have etorque. 2023 Laramies don't have fender flares. For the 2023 Laramies, you can only get a sports package with either Level 1 or Level B equipment package, which automatically gives you a 12" Uconnect touch screen with nav. Also mirror turn signals for 2023s are darkened a little.

Up here in Canada the Sports com with Black badges. And you can get the G/T package on them.

I had a 19 without etorque and now a 23 of course with etorque. I'm so far really happy with the system, and it's warrantied for 8 years/80k.

This is my dream truck! Amazing job Ben.

Wait a minute! That truck didn’t have the eTorque system! Didn’t see it under the hood. I thought the eTorgue was becoming standard for 2023? (You can see the regular alternator in place instead of the eTorque system)

This truck does not have the etorque. So is this a 2023 model?

How come some 2023 Laramie's come with fender flares and some don't?

I went with out the E torque on my 2021. Don’t need to problems it’s known for . Batteries are way way over priced once out of warranty.

They could keep the digital gauge and offer a Hemi 392 as a option.

I had a 2020 Laramie 5.7 (etorque) and now I have e a 2022 bighorn back country but plain 5.7 (no- etorque). If your leasing it for 3 years, etorque is great. I'm planning on holding on to mine for a long time, and my concerns is any type of maintenance long-term with battery/ etorque/ starter system. But right now Ram has a bigger problem. Pricing is out of hand...for literally the same 2019 model. Maybe you add uconnect 5, or even digital display over the years, but it doesn't give then the excuse to increase prices by $5k across the board for the same 2019 stuff.

Why don’t they have a hybrid like fords? Plug in power for tools and gas!

It’s a shame that in extreme cold weather the air bags shit the bed or I’d buy one over my TRX

I'm almost 100% this is not a 2023. That is definitely a 2022. The 2023s have tinted mirror turn signals and the Laramie's do not have fender flares anymore, so it is like the bighorn. Only the higher trims have it now.

I recently bought a ram 1500 Laramie 2022 and for the most part it's a good truck but I do think the body moves a little too much. Not sure if you call that body roll when driving or just rocking back and forth but I wish there was less movement in the cab. Does having air suspension on the truck solve that problem?

I mean the 3.0 hurricane would be welcomed, as long as it isnt a premium priced engine. Good god the 2023 Rams have gotten expensive. I just built and priced out a Laramie sport with the same options (2022 and 2023) there’s about a $4k difference. Not only is the base price higher, it seems they’ve cut some standard features like the trailer hitch, and every individual option now costs more too… ($72k vs $76k when very well equipped)
