Imagine someone told Sam not to use that "ridiculous cowboy voice as it would scare away many agents to hire him for anything". :') That makes Sam what he is. Awesome.
1981-1986 Escort was strong unibody than 2012-2019 Focus?
🇹🇷👏♥️👏🇹🇷❤️💚💙🤭🇹🇷👏
I need Sam Ellitt to record my voicemail
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS STEALERSHIP. I bought brand new off the lot Ram 2500 Laramie, they would not follow my instruction on submitting my app to my credit union, they instead hit my credit file 6X with 6 different lenders for absolutely no reason, then refused to send the app to my credit union. Very shady business practice. They agreed to have pain scratches and a small dent on drivers door repaired within the next week, we took an unpaid workday off to facilitate the truck being at their dealership for the paint correction, I then found out the samples manager (Mark) told the body shop not to fix the dent and color sand out the bedside clear coat scuffs, when I called to get this approved for the body shop I was argued with by every person who got onto the phone. I HAD TO THREATEN TO UNWIND THE DEAL TO FET ANY RESPONSE THAT WAS NOT ARGUMENTATIVE! They then told me it would all be taken care of, and the dent is still on the drivers side door. In the finance office, I decided to buy the “LUX-CARE” paint and interior coating to protect the exterior and interior, and of course, the coating wasn’t applied professionally, the interior has extremely visible bald spots where the coating wasn’t applied vs where it was and one of the rear seats was missed altogether!! My front license plate AND bracket / hardware were removed for NO REASON, the person did not coat the bumper where the plate bracket goes, Ray Charles could see it hasn’t even been washed there, so why was the plate bracket and plate assembly even removed in the first place?! More importantly! Why wasn’t it reinstalled before the truck was “done” and ready for pickup!? It’s CA state law to have a plate on front and rear, so yeah nice job there Stoneridge employees. Best part is when the service representative tells me “they don’t install temporary plate on front of trucks” then I send several photos of the truck on the date of sale clearly showing the salesman installing the temp plate and another showing the entire plate. Every single person we have dealt with here, after the signing of paperwork of course, has been denying, argumentative, belittling and projecting in a way that’s ABSOLUTELY not acceptable in the industry they serve. Customer service escapes this place. They refused to fill the $85,000 truck with fuel on delivery, barely washed it, the DEF fluid was almost empty, didn’t explain how to use infotainment and the finance manager didn’t send us out with the deal paperwork we had to make another 1.5hr trip to get that. Completely garbage buying experience from this place and I’ve bought several vehicles from dealerships. Buyer beware. Don’t buy anything here this place SUCKS!
ill take the 1955 version, with seatbelts...
Those old cars where built better to withstand impacts which was great….wish safety was better like today but at least have better quality for your vehicle to survive impacts today😂 they just did the switcharru 😂
No
Mercedes Benz were always at the forefront of vehicle safety both back in the 50's right through to now.
0:30 I was expecting a gay orgy when I saw that Ford
Cars that don’t crumple on impact transfer massive G Forces onto the occupants causing more injury!
Ford use to make high quality, affordable American made cars..Now their just outsourced high tech plastic trash cans..Made of tin foil and made so not many back yard mechanics can work on them..Done on PURPOSE to boost Profits at every angle..I wouldn't purchase any new so called American made vehicle ever again since 2004...90% parts are from China..They turned their backs on American jobs, for more profits..Disgusting how America just got sold out and Died
Now is 1986? That’s so rad 😂
Somewhat accurate but in reality , both the driver and passenger should have been holding a beer and smoking a cigarette with a 12 pack in the back seat that was not observed in the footage that should have been 🤔
Just bought our first ram, this is my personality now
I like his deep voice
Fascinating...! *Even 11 yrs ago* , every _other_ crash test video was infinitely more interesting and informative than this rubbish.
Best commercial ever! My 2 favorite things Ram and Sam Elliot!
0:19 Dutch is having a drink at the bar.
@@Mrcharles."I have a plan." 😂 Nice one, Mr. Charles! 😂 Tbh, I had to repeat it, and I noticed the similarity. 👏🏻 Greetings to you from a loyal RDR fan ✌🏻♥️
Love tha Hemi Tick
Guts glory new transmission
Damn O'Driscolls everywhere
Don’t worry, Dutch is keeping a close eye on things in the saloon at 0:19.
Sam Elliot should have voiced Big Mac on MLP
So it was a Ram commercial he did? Not a Ford commercial?
If you can't Dodge it Ram it
I love Sam Elliot over lee major’s
And both vehicles are still drivable, try that today with these pieces of tin foil and plastic these idiot Millennials got us riding around in.
The only good thing about a Ram is Sam’s voice. I bet Sam would rather buy a Tundra.
Sam wouldn't be caught dead in a Tundra. Guaranteed he's either a Ford or GM guy
Dude keep that Toyota bs to yourself..Take your Tundra & go find Godzilla..😂
:32 is that Tarantino actor Walton Goggins?
Yes
@@presley007 I knew it! Thank u for confirming that :) <3
I like that
Doing this with today's plastic disposal cars and there would be nothing left
I hate Fords but its Sad to see those beautiful muscle cars crash :'(
Music was like scarface movie
I’m a cord guy but Sam Elliot’s voice makes me want to buy a RAM
You mean Ford? 👍
Man... back when alot of people weren't pussies
The title says now there is no now, unless u r playing GTA Vise City and its 1986
I'm sorry, Sam Elliott is amazing but ram trucks? Really!. Ram: the only good trucks we've ever made were the ones that we didn't make the important parts on!. Ram: for when you need the flashiest looking paperweight. Ram: for when you really hate having a transmission. Ram: Who the fuck knows who owns us anymore! Just dissolve Chrysler already. Put the damn company out of its business.
I think Chrysler should stop selling its brand vehicles and just focus on selling Jeeps and Dodges. No one buys sedans or mom vans anymore.
This RAM commercial makes me want to play Red Dead Redemption! 🔥
0:19 that face looks exactly like Dutch van der Lin
@Chosen99 You won't believe it.. The ram in RDR reminded me of Dodge Ram, and so it brought me here! 😂😂❤
@@amjadalkiswani1995 No way! 😂😂😂
Just saw a black one with the tags CALDUTY in sf
This video is stupid
He should calm us down when another truck ad pops up on youtube. He can be all like "Look, KZread ads are tough to get by. Remember this voice? Yea..."
This Is Nostalgia
Manly voice of Sam Elliot love it
On moderate wrecks, cars from the 50s, 70s many times are still driveable; while modern cars end up in a salvage yard. On high impact crashes, whether you're in an old or modern vehicle, you're screwed; massive destruction that not even an airbag will save your ass.
Exactly. Thankfully they only ever show modern cars at 40 miles per hour with never letting people stress or have a reason to set themselves straight and drive like a mature human being, instead ending the clip with some bullshit statement such as "perfect safety". I'm sorry? It's 1 foot from the passenger level of destruction in the front, it's all crumple zone until it's the windshield and base that it is smashing into. No longer a soft crumple at that point when you hit any bit past 40. It is as my grandfather said and would say even more today...and it may sound like common sense which we had more of back then, however applies to how stupid people can be: "you aren't meant to find yourself and others in a crash, no matter the safety, it is not a event you are meant to go through and will be tragically dangerous no matter a cement roof or perfect solid frame... It is even more so foolish when you decide to put you and everyone in the automobile at risk driving like a maniac ready to set down 200 miles on a sandy stretch in Daytona".
lol i always love hearing people talk about how "old cars are safer in crashes". this is the same kind of nonsense as people saying 4x4's allow you to brake faster... one of the things i always hear, like you just said is that they're "still driveable" after an accident. Yeah, that's a great thing. Lets transfer all the crash energy into the human body instead of being absorbed by the vehicle. Who GAF how good your car looks if you've broken every bone in your body and liquified your internal organs. Go look at crash statistics and crash tests, saying you're screwed if you are in an accident above 40 mph is garbage. Again in an old car with full frame and no crumple zones, the car is going to look ok in comparison to what a new car looks after, but in a new car you aren't decelerating the human body from speed - stationary in a hundredth of a second basically making your 11lb head weigh 700 lbs when talking g-forces. no wonder people's heads used to literally fly off their bodies in crashes. I'll take a new car over an old car any day of my LIFETIME. The only thing old cars have over new ones, and this is a subjective opinion, but looks. In every single measurable way even cars from 20 years ago simply cannot stand up to new cars. This includes survivability in an accident at any speed.
@@jollyroger2012 maybe because there 20 to 80 years since their production genius, or limited supply when they were made while your spoiled era has everything it needs and all the cheated information to get the slight glimpse of what the right way to do something is. They get their information from the past, the act like they created it and Insult the past bragging about how good they are compared to back then pro future shit. Your all fucked in the head, careless imbeciles that put people in danger and then advertise and manipulate the crowd into beleiving it's safe. I've seen a tesla in a 50 mile per hour crash, it isn't so kitchy and "safe from crumple zone" as their 35 mile per hour tests.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar my spoiled era? and you're right... fuck progress! everything was perfect in the past why should we change anything!
@@jollyroger2012 Just remember, it is impossible to win an argument against a fool
0:38 was it The Dude?
It's just too bad that modern Dodge Ram Trucks are so inferior to those of yesteryear (before the merging of Chrysler and Fiat).
Are you circumcised? I'm not Come on down to the Dodge Dealership and get yourself a Ram 1500 Guts, Glory, Ram
