2024 RAM 1500 Limited Elite - What Does An $85,000 RAM Look Like?

[@OscarFlores-gl8gn]

Very very good presentation!!!!! Any questions? None, you left me without questions

[@dhyeum]

A very thorough video. Well done. I bought a Ram 1500 Limited Elite 2023 and these cars are identical essentially.

[@703Speed]

Thank you. How have you been liking it so far?

[@dhyeum]

@703Speed I love the car. Thankfully, I didn't have to pay anywhere close to the $80k.

[@m.a.cm.a.c9308]

Great job!

[@princezid]

That is an amazing idea for tailgate... Love it...❤ Can't wait to have this truck in my life 🤩

[@jameslyon3750]

The split tailgate is nice but DONT place your hand on the seam when slamming the full end gate as the flex will most definitely become a pinch point.

[@roysimmons8604]

The tailgate bed step is meant to be deployed by foot. You simply place a foot on it and with little effort you can pull with your foot. Similarly, you push it back under with your foot. A side mounted tail step would not work for a split tailgate. I have this configuration and I find it very functional and easy to use. Thank you much for the video review

[@703Speed]

Wow, thanks!

I love how You're switching cars from 40MPG Honda to 18 MPG Ram Truck. Pretty cool American automobil with big v8 under the hood. Greetings

[@Atlec-j9y]

Those are definitely speakers in the rear headliner. I love the HK sound system but those ceiling mounted speakers sometimes make it difficult to speak to the rear passengers if any audio is playing. Also, the + - switch on the steering wheel isn't to shift gears, it's to set a gear limit, as noted on the switch. It sets a maximum high gear, otherwise it functions normally and won't shift the transmission manually. So with the new screen setup button on the steering wheel, it replaces the voice activation button. How do you activate the voice assistant now, especially for Android Auto/Apple Car Play?

[@bitman05]

You just say “Hey Ram” or “Hey Siri” depending on the system you are using. No button push. (I have a two week old 2024 Ram Limited).

[@germanjimenez5968]

I love the tailgate.

[@brianmayberry8389]

The split tailgate is so you can have access to the bed when you are hooked up to a trailer.

[@703Speed]

That makes perfect sense..

[@wayne8268]

wrong , its so you can pallet load or hand load easier@@703Speed

[@Dusdaddy]

Plus it would be too heavy if it was one piece. The honda is much smaller

[@manduheavyvazquez5268]

The most luxury truck until now 2024. I prefer longhorn interior is most luxury. The competition looks cheaper beside ram. Great

[@NoBadReply]

The tailgate is split liket that for the times one is in a position to where a swinging tailgate one open enough to get things in. Has a purpose and very useful if found in a situation like that.

[@mrrogerstown2435]

Absolutely, the eTorque sounds a bit like a supercharger 😄

[@mrrogerstown2435]

Ram says you get an extra 100 torque the first half turn. wonder if you could change the programming to get more power out of it...

[@robertbutler8004]

If these vehicles could sell at the same price in Australia nobody in their right mind would buy any other dual cabs.

[@DanDuck-mg5fw]

I’m interested BUT not at $85,000 + grand !!!!

[@mikewade4102]

Own one I love the tailgate. The step is a little difficult to pull out but I’ll tell you what I owned a 2022 Toyota capstone and this truck is far better. The Toyota capstone is a cheap truck cheap parts cheap it falls apart. It never used to be that way, but it is now.

[@michaelgrow8630]

Wonderful color makes truck look great. Thanks. Peace.

[@703Speed]

Agreed!

[@germanjimenez5968]

Although, I'm too crazy with the Ram boxes. Does it come without the Ram boxes?

[@unclejamesx9808]

Ram box are pretty useful, was gonna pull trigger on a 21 but didn’t have it so kinda made my decision to pass

[@Dusdaddy]

Had the Ranbox on my last one. Absolutely the best option ever. You only lose the space around the wheel wells, you can still fit a sheet of plywood.

[@semlohde1]

My dealer manager said they couldn't put that step on the back because of the double door. I wanted it before I bought just 4 days ago. You show it fits just fine!. I sent 2 pictures I took off this video that the rear step is perfect. I'm MIFFED!!!! $76,790 msrp Limited Longhorn and I get stiffed for that, and their cost is probably $200. At least, I'm 75 and wont be buying another.

[@703Speed]

This is a damn nice last truck if you ask me! Congrats!

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

Now my first new Ram 1500 truck I can buy.

[@germanjimenez5968]

Good presentation

[@phillipbaker2082]

I like chrome bumpers over the body color bumpers. Not sure if you can option those out.

[@703Speed]

Chrome bumpers come standard with the Limited

[@stevenl4494]

Prefer the RAM boxes, that space will now actually get used. In a full sized bed i rarely need that extra room. Plus it keeps smaller stuff out from under seats or in boxes.

[@davidgeeman3254]

Yep. I had ‘em on my 2015 Limited, I have them now on my 2023 Limited. Multifunction tailgate as well. I have this truck but with Night edition. It’s gorgeous without all the chrome. 😊

[@davidgeeman3254]

As an owner of this truck…nearly identical (I don’t have electric locking rear differential or the 3.92, my last truck did. I like my fuel economy better…). The tailgate design is perfect. If you have one big pane, you may not be able to “swing” it effectively. With the split, you can open it more easily AND it places less load on just one set of hinges… split the weight. The ram boxes take up room that otherwise, isn’t used…just above the wheel well. the bigger issue is, you can’t get the Rambox in a 6.4ft bed, only in 5.7ft beds. You will barely use the air ride raise/lower, except for hooking up to a trailer hitch…. I don’t have the Elite, I have the night edition…so no chrome, all blacked out, including black chrome exhaust tips. Also…the speakers aren’t truly 19…. There are 10 speakers I believe, but they’re counting a 2 or 3 way speaker as 2 or 3 speakers. It sounds great for factory speakers…. It’s a great truck!

[@stevenl4494]

@@davidgeeman3254 Let me put it a different way..... I'll be using the living sh1t out of the ramboxes. For me, they're a big difference......and situationally adaptable. I get it, they don't fly for others....but for a big hunter, etc., they're a huge difference. If you don't know why, you don't know.

[@davidgeeman3254]

@@stevenl4494 yesiree. I’ll be very disappointed the day I can no longer get RAM Boxes on a full sized truck. I use mine every day.

[@lawrencejones4161]

Turn off the traction control and then floor it. Wow

[@wiillied6384]

Well, very nice truck but definitely over-priced by 20k. No, absolutely one should be purchasing a vehicle over 70k no matter if is a daily commuter driver. All trucks lose 20% of their value as soon as you drive it off the dealer parking lot. I own a used RAM 1500 Limited and paid under 40k under 50 miles with all the same bells and whistles as this one. Make sure you negotiate a fair price for yourself before you purchase. Wow... 85k for a truck, and that's before taxes and insurance...Unreal!!!

[@703Speed]

I think most sell in the 70's

[@wiillied6384]

True, but individuals should make an attempt to negotiate for a fair price in the high 50k to mid 60k if it's a Longhorn or Limited with all the bells and whistles. Get what you want... not what the dealer tries to stick you with that you're not happy with in the end. About 60% of sales are dissatisfied with their purchase after its over. Same thing goes for purchasing a home.😮 Don't settle for what they and you're not satisfied with it. Too many individuals are unhappy with what they purchase and it ends in regret and with a high monthly payment.

[@703Speed]

[@jeremymiller6933]

Beautiful truck, but $85k is insane. I know it's the market, but I don't care. By the way the dismal sales are looking right now, I know a lot of other people don't care either. I have a 2022 Silverado LTZ with the current refresh with every option that truck has, it's was a year old with low miles, for a little bit over half of that and I think that was too much, LOL. Great review and again, nice truck. I was shopping for a RAM Limited, but not worth it to me to spend that much. There was a gently used one available at the time when I got my Silverado. It was still $10k more. Nope.

[@703Speed]

Thank you! But you can pick these up brand new in the mid to high 60’s. The msrp is high, but they sell a lot lower than msrp

[@jeremymiller6933]

I have seen a few trucks, not many, equipped like these in Chevy brand in the mid to high 60's. Most GMC and RAM are "on sale" in the high 60's to mid 70's with these trims and options. I started looking in October and most of them are still on the lots today. At least according to the dealer websites here in the Houston market. They've simply out-priced themselves. Their solution: raise the prices... I guess those who can afford them are waiting for a crash. I see another bail out coming. If not for the service departments, a lot of dealers would be closed down. Paying interest and taxes on their overpriced inventory has gotta hurt. It was still a good review of a really nice truck. I enjoyed watching it. The more of them I watch, the better I feel about the trade I made a month ago.

Good to know

[@20truck]

😂The trucks they're building nowadays I have to admit they give any luxury car a run for their money, And you have the capability of hauling and four-wheel drive So if you're driving home in a snowstorm and your in a ram with your family you're probably going to make it if you're driving home in a snowstorm in a Mercedes with all wheel drive well you're probably not going to. I've got a 04 Toyota tundra limited 4x4 crew cab it's got 240,000 mi on it I'm meticulous about getting service done and I only use synthetic oil and fluids since I've owned it and that truck runs as good today as it did the day I brought it home. I'm considering trading but to be honest it runs so good I just don't want to but I'm afraid something's eventually going to happen and the trucks either going to leave me stranded or it's going to cost more to repair than it's worth. This would be a good truck for a young person getting their first vehicle or someone that just doesn't have a lot of money to spend on a vehicle. The thing is it's still worth almost $9,000 or more and I only paid $36000 for it new.

[@fakeusa]

What is the best handling, road holding around turns, pickup truck?

[@703Speed]

From my experience - Chevys and GMCs

[@mrrogerstown2435]

I would say the Ram with coil suspension and with 4x4 auto. leaf springs cant compete with coils for the twisty bits.

[@giofromtexas2679]

Oh wow 18:05 at this price point I expect a power tilt and telescopic steering column, that’s odd. All high end Jeeps come with one so how hard would it be to add it to this?

From what I've read, yes you can. The usable width at the narrowest point is 49"

Nice but $$$$$$ I just bought a 2023 Warlock quad cab so it has the 6 ft 4 in bed for HALF that 85 grand and it has more than a few options, not stripped. limited slip, tow group with 355 gears, power and heated rear window, power seat, center console, tow hooks, fog lights and plenty of other things. I just had a BED-RUG and tonneau cover installed to give it some nice looks. Mine has the plastic FENDER LINERS, i don't see them on that, hard to believe. Mine doesn't have the stop start which i am GLAD to see but nice to see that has the option to disable it. I love mine but i am only 5 ft 8 inches and the Warlock is an extra inch higher so i need to remember that when i get out.
