2020 RAM 1500 Eco Diesel | Getting Rammed

[@MaxSpeedMike]

"Getting Rammed" Mr goose, you sir have some of the best titles I've ever seen in the car community here in youtube. That goes hand and hand with your amazing production quality.

[@802Garage]

Also goes hand in hand with some of the other frequent jokes on the channel. ;)

[@jyusta1]

Picture this, driving in the sticks, pull up behind a raised Ram with a 12" smokestack centered in the bed spewing smoke like a coal factory, on the bumper says "Dodge the father, RAM the daughter", a truck I will never forget.

[@fabianherrmann6398]

Leave it to these bois to make a otherwise generic press event fun to watch. I now cant unsee the Goose standing on that boat seeping testosterone to the Titanic soundtrack. This was the high point of my day!

[@cheezus4772]

Good to know you can fit your water bottle in the truck bed. Finally someone gives urbanites the storage space we need.

[@arturo762]

I usually have the dealership install a roof rack for that purpose, but it's fine in the bed I guess.

[@Dxun2]

The best car review channel on KZbin - I thought that no one could ever make me watch reviews of vehicles I would never buy (trucks, SUVs or muscle cars), but you sir have done the impossible. Excellent content, witty discourse, fantastic production. Thanks for making this and keep it coming! P.S. The intro music is seriously great (Tim Hirst - Up Again, for those interested).

[@Ethan7s]

Italian reliability should make a very unique truck ownership experience.

[@dsugioaga]

Maybe. But when it comes to Diesel engines, Italian industry is actually an established player. I don't think that would be the case, if their engines were junk.

[@MrSlashStudios]

@@dsugioaga The JTD engines are damn near indestructible.

[@RK1FX]

Fucker do you even have any experience with Italian cars? Here in Europe we drive fiats, alfas, lancia and many more on a daily basis. FIAT is a huge brand and their diesel engines are beasts. I've driven an alfa 159 2.4 jtd for over 300k miles and no problems, try that with a BMW or audi and even a Toyota diesel, which is very unreliable.

[@MrSlashStudios]

FX Nice Alfa, the styling on the 159 is badass.

[@kingsqueak2221]

@@RK1FX FCA in the U.S. models is not proving out well at all and the dealers are not backing customers for repairs either. The list of issues across models is large. One example from researching vans, they constantly blow headlights, the rear doors routinely chop off the wiring harness just from opening and closing, the transmission design breaks down and FCA doesn't stand behind the product. We're talking headlights that fail every oil change when I have cars ten years old with the original bulbs in them. Engine issues, transmission issues, the dealers turn their back.

Hey man I just wanted to say how much I love your videos, and the time you put into them. You inspired me to start my own channel. You’ve got a unique style!

[@RealMikeHock]

"Oh Jack, your Ram 1500 Eco Diesels tailpipe is so girthy and long", muttered Mr.Geese as he caressed the rear side body panel. "Just wait until we get it all wet and dirty", Jack said as he opened his Rams tailgate. "Oh!", moaned Jack as he reached in the trucks bed, "Mr.Goose, I need you to reach with your fingers and your hands deep inside the trucks bed to get the fishing rods...I can't reach". "Don't get all hot and flustered Jack", said Mr.Geese with a wink. "After transitioning from male, to female, and back, it seems that I've gained a few inches...heh heh". Mr.Goose sauntered over to the rear of Jack's pickup, and reached his hands deep inside....

I really like the back and forth in these reviews. It's nice that you two don't 100% agree on everything and you counter, but build off of each other's points. If this engine proves to have good longevity, it seems like a really great option in the truck segment if you actually need a truck.

[@DougsMessyGarage]

Warning - If you live where it gets below 0f or -18c do not buy a Ram with Air Ride. The air ride system does not deal well with cold weather. When I traded my '15 Ram Limited this summer, I believe I was on compressor 5 or 6 and three of the four air bags had had to be replaced, the last two out of warranty. In warm weather the air ride is great but it does not do cold weather well at all.

[@flagovhate]

Yup. My mother has a 2012 grand cherokee and all 4 bags were replaced at 70k miles, at 300$ each. The compressor is still original though.

[@DougsMessyGarage]

@@flagovhate She was lucky on the cost of the air bags, I paid $1100-$1300 (Can$) to have a bag replaced on my Ram 1500

[@flagovhate]

@@DougsMessyGarage that's crazy. But i also listed USD prices. I'm in Canada too, price from Ontario dealer was 500$ each bag, but my father ended up getting some in Quebec for 450$ CDN each. He replaced them himself so saved himself probably atleast 1000$ in labor. Luckily that's the only issue we've had with this FCA product, it has 170k km on it, and has been through plenty of -40c winters lol

[@DougsMessyGarage]

@@flagovhate Other than the air ride, I really liked the '15 Ram. In fact, when I traded it in, I traded it on a '19 Ram. The new truck definitely did not have the air ride system though.

[@flagovhate]

@@DougsMessyGarage i have a 2017 Ram quad cab express and i don't think I'll be getting another ram. My truck only has 42k on it, and it's already had a front strut replaced, from tie rod and AC system empties itself every winter. I also have occasional transmission issues where it won't shift properly or won't go into gear. Also the rotors are almost finished and thats 42k of highway driving. I like the truck, but i can't imagine owning it long term, it's only a lease. Only reason I'll consider another ram is because of how well my local dealer treated me. So we'll see, lease is up in a few weeks.

I've look at every video review about the 3rd gen Eco-diesel I could find. This really is the most informative that is out there. I have heard that 80% of the engine parts were new but now I know what and why. I currently own a 2014 Grand Cherokee 1st gen Eco-diesel with 120k mile and I still love it. This engine sound more bullet proof in a better package, depending on what the new Grand Cherokee standard length looks like, the Ram 1500 may be my next daily driver. I just have one issue with your opinion of brand loyalty. I have owned and worked on every top pickup brand out there and I have found that; if you get a good truck to start, regardless of manufacturer, it will always be a good truck. Everybody can make a lemon just hope you don't buy one. Hey Savagegeese,,,,, keep it up.
