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.

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

I did not expect the Dodge M80 to be that small 🤣🤣🤣 in pictures it looks like a full size truck omg 🤣🤣

I actually think the RAM RHO stands for "Ram Hemi Omitted"

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…

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.

On the trailer break gain. Mine has a function up and down on the steering wheel.

We definitely hear it In Your mic

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.

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.

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.

This would be a great lease vehicle provided there will be good leasing programs.

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.

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.

I’m drawn to that truck too. I started driving in 1978.

Come on Andre!! Find a way to convince Ram to give you early access to the RamCharger for some Ike Gauntlet testing!!

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

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

Ike gauntlet for that HO SST. That would be interesting at 80 degrees.

@35:09 you can see the reflection of the RHO in the power wagon

Adjusting for inflation that 1954 Power Wagon would be $14,500 today😮. And the little red express would be only $22,500.Yes please!

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.

Definitely should have checked out Beirut Restaurant just behind you, they have some of the best Lebanese food I have ever had!

My father had a '78 Dodge W250. I remember the Lil' Red Express, 10-year-old me loved that truck and wished we had that one instead. Also the 360 of the era was all about torque, not top-end power.

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.

Must be a glitch with the Rambox . My 2020 locks and unlocks with the doors. Rambox’s are great all my tie downs ,trailer hitches,wrenches are easy access and not cluttering up the cab. It is a deal breaker for me trying to by another brand new.

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.

I can definitely here when you're driving over expansion joints. And you're right, for 90,000 it should be a lot quieter. It's definitely not worth that price but i still prefer ram for riding with family vs the f250 at least. I think the f150 wasn't so bad. I drive both constantly. Still haven't driving a Chevy.

Beautiful truck. They refreshed it very gracefully. Im still having a hard time with the Hurricane COMPLETELY replacing the Hemi. I wish they wouldve eased the public into it by offering both this and the HEMI, for a while anyway. Im having a hard time getting behind the I6. Sure its more powerful and supposedly more efficient. 1-2 mpg isnt enough of a jump for me to consider this engine THAT more efficient. Ram claims the Hemi was going to start having trouble meeting newer emissions regulations, but we all know that if they wanted to get the HEMI up to snuff, they could have, they were just lazy and chose not to.

That’s the fastest truck on the market right now

Would have been nice to see the panoramic sunroof, I did not buy the Denali or High Country because of the “weenie” sunroof. I am spoiled with the OneTouch roof on my Wrangler. So I guess it’s between Ford and Ram now.

The new 2025 has a beautiful Interior, the bodywork is a nice update although for my tastes it doesn’t grab me. The nose just doesn’t look "Truck", looks more SUV or Van. Several new styles don’t have the desired look. My Jeep Grand Cherokee has the Air lift suspension… it’s gone out 3x over 12 yrs, normally during a cold Winter period. Great looking, specs show powerful engine but no sound of V8… lot of nice features!

Badass truck

A straight six does make sense for a light duty truck. However, the jury is out on long term durability. I do wonder what the millage diff is between the old Hemi and this Hurricane when towing? Would love to see that comparison. But what is with adding another trim level? Limited should the top and leave it at that. Seems like just another excuse to jack up the price even more.

Did they add guide lines for the front camera view?

18:44 where are the separate amber turn signals like proper tailllights have?
