I had a 2014 Ram 1500 express, single cab, with the 8speed. That 8 speed is a monster. I drove it 60k hard miles before I sold it, and the transmission never had 1 issue. It is amazing. Also, having a RC SRT10, these newer trucks are just overall, great!

I own a 2016 RAM Big Horn extended cab. I can't say enough about it! Love the truck. Took me a little while to get used to that "trash on the dash" shifter, but I think it's great now. That 8 speed auto works flawlessly. We drove it down to Texas from Ontario, Canada last summer without even a tick. Ran great, was decent on fuel and it was quiet and smooth. The 8.4" Uconnect screen is the best on the market. SOOO easy to use. I'd like to put a performance exhaust on mine as well, but we use our truck for vacations, so I don't think we could put up with the noise for 2000 miles!

I love the shifter. In 2018 I don't know why someone would want a big lever taking up space. I also love the ride height on it. If I can figure a way for it to get better gas and not cost that much I am going to buy the last year for them which I think is 18. I just have been in love with it for years.

Tow/Haul in newer trucks shuts off OD and usually adjusts the shift strategy to a more agressive one, plus might apply more clutches in gear for a better duty cycle

The MDS I believe can be mechanically deleted with new lifters, or deleted with a tuner. The suspension is high because I think they use the same base suspension for all the 1500s so if you buy a 4x4 it will have the same. I think they did this to cut production costs. I have a 2012 and I agree with your video, however, I would add the shifting on mine is a little strange. Granted mine has 60k miles on it now and it has the 645rfe. Good video!

The only thing I'd change is to have a flip up centre console so a 3rd person could get in if needed. Well also mine is a 12 so I'd like the 8 spd too but 12 came with the 4:10 so hopefully that makes up somewhat for the 6 spd.

great reivew thx. Yes very few if any decent reviews that don't give a serious pov on this truck. Thx for comment on the ride height. I found that odd as well and running running boards on a sport truck doesn't make sense. the pts you bring up are valid, all small things but added together I see your pov. Just small annoying things. I also don't allow drink or foods in my vehicles, glad I'm not the only one as I get ripped for this constantly.

I’m looking into getting one of these rt single cabs or sport single cabs as the 18s are called which is the same thing from my understanding just classified as a trim level lol. Do you get pretty decent mpg on this truck for being single cab and lowered ? how big is your fuel tank ? 26 or the 32? Sick truck 👌🏼 also how’s the truck been treating you any issues? and lastly sorry for all the questions 😅 would u say a certain year of the single cab rt is better than another ?

The rattling in the windows isn't from the exhaust. If you are talking about when the windows are down and you go over any bumps the windows bounce around. It's does that in mine and I've been told by a couple people that most rams have that rattle

Good and honest review!!! I'm not sure where you live, but here in Louisiana, I appreciate the tan headliner.... I have owned several German vehicles(still do), and my like for black exteriors/interiors, that often come with black headliners.... It makes a huge difference as to how much the interior maintains heat. I'm not sure of the science behind that, but I've found that there is a huge difference. Also you mentioned about the perforated leather? Does yours have vented seats? Or is it that "plasticy" mesh stuff, like in the 2014's?

Great review! Nice to get the opinion of someone else from FL. You said that you bought the extended warranty for this truck, but you also made mods to it. Does the exhaust and other mods void the warranty?
@koreywaldrop3142
@koreywaldrop3142 9 жыл бұрын
No. Normal bolt ons such as catbacks, and intakes do not void the warranty. Things that will are tunes. A tune will void the warranty. But if you save you OEM set in the tuner before you tune it. If anything goes wrong revert back to your OEM set up and then bring it in. I have done this many times with my SRT and they have not said anything. Plus once the computer has been retuned back to OEM specs there is no computer the dealerships have that can trace a tune. They have to prove that a specific modification caused a malfunction which is a lot harder then what you would think.

@koreywaldrop3142 9 жыл бұрын
No. A normal catback won't void anything. And neither will the lowering kit. Now if you do the lowering kit and a component of the kit fails then of course the factory will not honor the warranty cause that's not their part unless you order a kit they sell which Mopar does not offer a lowering kit. Only a lift kit I looked. But speaking for the rest of your warranty yes it is still valid.

Why you chose the borla atak I heard the corsa sport is nice why didn't you get that or is this one louder ?
@koreywaldrop3142
@koreywaldrop3142 8 жыл бұрын
Mine is louder. And a corsa isn't a true dual. It's a bolt on to the existing Y pipe. I have intentions on forced induction and a Y pipe would restrict a lot of air flow so I wanted a bullet style muffler and a true dual application. So the only application that would work is the jeep srt8 Borla atak. Plus as far as I'm aware this is the only exhaust like it. Somebody buys a corsa every day. Dare to be different.

Hey man nice truck I just got my 2015 rt also idk if it's normal from an 8 speed trains, but mine when it changes gear at a constant speed sometimes makes a sudden stop( like 1/2 second) and then pulls really brusque when the next gear kicks in. It has 1,025 miles already. Did you experience the same thing?

I can't say that I have experienced that. I hope I don't. It doesn't sound normal to me. If I were you I would take it back to the dealership and explain the issue. I know I have a friend who bought a 2014 Silverado fully loaded brand new and it's got a transmission problem and they ended up having to buy the truck back cause of the Florida lemon law. I hope this doesn't happen to you. But I would have dodge look at it sooner then later. Good luck.

I was just wondering if it was normal because it was new or if it was a defect from the factory. Now that you told me you didn't experience the same thing I believe it is a problem. I wasn't sure because it runs perfectly normal in the freeway and it only does it in the city. I'm going to have to take it back to the dealer and let them know.

I recommend getting your own financing through someone else. I wouldn't go through a car dealer for a loan. They will dick around with you. Banks are more straight forward in my opinion. Plus it shows your a serious buyer if your prequalified. But go on autotrader. That's my best advice.

Rt is better than an express/tradesmen. Also you get a bigger touch screen and electronic clusters in an rt where as the tradesmen/express don’t.

2 things : First my last 3 dodge trucks I put 500k on 1 and 600,000 milles on the other 2 and they were not driven gently but were not dogged either. The first 2 sold for top dollar when I upgraded. Second with a 5.7 hemi for the best milage use mid-grade or better fuel. I average 25mpg in town and 30-35mpg on open hiway. The salesmen usually do not know to tell you but look on page 192 of the owners manuel. Good luck and have fun with the best truck on the road.

The truck did not just lose oil. The MDS system is whats causing the oil consumption. Chevy has the same problem with their AFM system. I personally like Chevy, Dodge and Ford but i would take the Ford 5.0 over the other V8s just because of its durability and the fact its a V8 all the time.

Hey, did you ever do the 2-4 drop? If so is the ride good? I just bought a 17 and want to have it dropped asap.
@koreywaldrop3142
@koreywaldrop3142 7 жыл бұрын
R Sho no I haven't yet. I just purchased a house and that's been taking up my truck fund. But I don't plan on doing a full drop anymore because of all the bad reviews I've heard about the death wobble. I'm just going to do a 2 inch drop in the rear and leave the front stock. The truck will just sit level instead of ass high.

@rshortii 7 жыл бұрын
Yeah, there seems to be a lot of opinions whether or not the ride is good. I am going to have to just do it and see for myself. Of course, the manufacturer that offer lowering options, say ride is great. For me, the look with the 2-4 drop is just to hard to pass on.

Not totally accurate. The RT is a 2WD regular cab with 3.92s (I want to say it had 4.10s for a bit too) and 22" wheels. The Sport can have 3.92s but it's available in other cab types and 4WD and "only" has 20" wheels. I live up north and am probably buying a 4x4 Sport with the regular cab next spring.

Korey Waldrop The 2017 builder didn't show it but I do know it was RT-only previously which makes it irrelevant for me. I need a 4WD up here for winter. Either way, my truck will be a factory order, just like my Wrangler was. Unless something goes wrong I can wait for it to be built how I want it.
