Happy to see the Aussies do some serious work on our half ton trucks. They really are great platforms.

[@PatriotGames]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching!

[@snakes57]

Think its fair to say that Justin lives by the motto '' Happy Wife, Happy Life''. Another fantastic build by all those at Patriot Campers & their suppliers. One thing i'd like to see on a future Patriot Games is you driving in in UK / Europe or Africa. Keep up the great guys & girls.

[@alvarotecun1669]

This is one of the most underrated channels I’ve ever stumbled on. Very impressive job there

[@karincoetser9366]

You guys are AWESOME!!!!!! Can you guys pls do a Mithubishi Pajero build, short wheel base or long wheel base, pls guys.

[@toddkenyon2509]

That takes the old saying “happy wife happy life” to the next level, I’m stuffed now to out do that for my wife. You just made the next generation of the supertourer range what an epic build. Can’t wait to see it in action awesome job crew and what great clip. Cheers legends!!!!

Absolutely love Patriot Campers. Regards from Papua New Guinea!

Thanks Mark, appreciate the support.

[@maninacrowd2342]

Simply incredible

You guys are living the dream. This channel is why we got a 4Runner and are over landing for our honeymoon.

[@sarabmeetsinghsandhu9673]

Loved the work whole team put in. RAM looks dope as sexy. Keep it up 👍🏼 guys. I was following campers off-roading companies all from USA But so happy to find you guys with better products, Australian made. Will definitely be getting my truck done one day from you. Love you all ✅

Welcome to Australia mate

[@harshavardhanak2751]

thats where the automobiles had from the beginning.

[@harshavardhanak2751]

during 1904 British had officially made a law to drive the horse carrier on the left side of the road. And so did the cars. And Right side was the first legal side for the steering wheel. To those who thing US is the world. Welcome to the reality.

So glad to think that these aren’t just prototypes or one off builds...☺️

[@principal7819]

The truck looks awesome, but I'm genuinely sad that Sarah won't drive her Ford Ranger anymore. I loved that vehicle on season 2 and it was one of the only vehicles that didn't get stuck!

[@brandonspain3483]

Wow Awesome build ,I've seen it around the Gold coast, Merrimac , its Pure Gold looks amazing sounds great and best of all built by Patriot. Great job.

Let us know which one and we will send you a quote 😉

[@philsymons9614]

That is an awesome build, How awesome would it be to be a product tester for Patriot Campers!!!!, personally I reckon there would be a massive market for a charged 1500 RAM, one powerball and I'd be on that list! Great Vid

[@larswyder3283]

Love the stuff you do but hate how every episode goes more into direction of reality TV... maybe it’s just me but I think it’s a whole lot less natural then the first couple of seasons

[@vividark]

Hehe Sarah's reaction wasn't that impressive 😂. They need to improve the acting.

[@Rumeel12708]

Lol this is my first episode I see if them and you took the words out of my mouth! Love the build tho! Cheers

Yes! It looks like every other scripted "car build' show. Just keep it real. The audience is smarter than you think.

Now that you've entered the American market are you going to bring PCOR trays and bullbars? A set for my 07 Ram Hemi Megacab would be awesome. Your video is great as always!

[@davidgates6987]

Also wanted to say with all that ability and skill, maybe think of building bugout set ups and custom tactical apc's. And maybe concider spray liner the whole truck. And some parts. Tactical and Practical!

SWEET tray on the back of that! cant get those for a 1500 here in canada! would love one of those for my truck

[@PatriotGames]

If you are interested in the PCOR tray contact [e-mail] 👍

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

Can't think of a single reason why anyone would concider a Toyota landcruiser , when cars like this are avalable. It seems twice as capable.

[@johnmcadaragh694]

Fun fact: The engine isn't a Hemi anymore. It has a pent-roof head. Dodge just uses the name because they still own it. They haven't had a real hemi engine in their cars for decades.

[@johnmcadaragh694]

@Heywood Juhblowme Sorry, no. It's a pent-roof head design. Look it up. Dodges haven't used hemispherical heads for a long time. They use pent-roof heads and call it a hemi. Hemi's were originally called that due to the hemispherical shape of the combustion chamber in the head. That is no longer the case do to efficiency standards, but the name remains. Also, 4v engines including I4 engines in a honda use the same pent-roof head design as the hemi's produced in the last 20ish years. P.s. polyspherical heads were only around in the 50s. There's a fun fact just for you. ;)

[@jase6827]

Been wanting for this one as i have ordered one

[@meadmaker4525]

I can't imagine how much money went into this build, but what an amazing result. Pretty much tossed the factory warranty out the window with all those mods, but I imagine you can fix anything that breaks anyway. I wondered about ECU issues when you put the supercharger on there. I know you said you ran a tune, but were there any other programming issues you encountered? Is there now a separate gauge for the additional fuel tank, or did you rig-up a way to get the standard gauge to read both? I really like that rear tray, but unless you're carrying a quad around (as in the video), it seems you lose a lot of utility over the standard cargo bed/tub. Are there different types of trays that accommodate more cargo? This is the first of your videos that I've seen, so I'll work my way through the rest to see if I can find the answers to some of these questions. Again, great build from a Ram 1500 owner in Florida.

[@jasonsampson916]

Finally something Patriot happened

[@joshk70]

Beautiful brother ILL get one too

[@thisisconstruction.]

Great work love the Rams.. if you can’t pass it. Ram it

[@davidgates6987]

Also in some of the videos the team is running the wrong tires for the environment. Your equipment is solid and heavy. So running the right tire and tire pressure is important.

[@davidchilds6505]

Nice build👌👌 can't wait for the test drive😋

[@renedeboer7348]

Sarah girl enjoy it,,, this is wow gr8 job team love it

[@almobrown1]

Man i love this show

[@shanerlawrence]

congrats Sarah love your truck

[@oMoistBox]

For everyone getting all defensive over the power output. I think they said hp meaning kw because 390hp is 291kw. It then made 260rwkw which is roughly around the 350hp mark.

[@dulanwho]

that hemi sounds soooo good

[@adamandresen9911]

LOL, he fact that the engineer is standing in the engine bay blows my mind how big this truck is. I've worked on Aircraft that you can't even see the part you are trying to R&I and it's done by feel.

[@JyWalker1603]

surely y'all should put a Hellcat or Demon engine in it, or maybe even a Hellaphant i really hope that wines like a Demon

Can you do a Nissan Patrol Y60 for the boys or a Land Cruiser Single Cab 79 series

[@kgositheophilusbakwena3632]

16:33 so Jack is part of the engine now

[@socberttrucker3598]

kinda odd that a supercharged RAM in australia makes less than a stock RAM in America as far as stock horsepower. Emissions must be killing that engine, but at least it's probably super reliable since it barely makes enough horsepower to hurt itself

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

The numbers quoted here, even tho' they're say 'horsepower' in the video, are actually Kilowatts. My '66 Val with a Slant Six, has "145hp" stock, which is close enough to 100Kw - conversion, real rough, is the Kw number is about 0.75x of the Hp number, but the torque goes the other way, with ft-lbs multiplied by 1.3 to get Newton Meters,.. so that same stock Slant with 215ft/lbs, turns in to 280Nm

[@hoppermantis7615]

Such art. And no portal axles ?

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Swap from tray to cabin, and that'd make a pretty awesome truck to pitch to the Police, Fire and SES for fast response units.

[@zaneh6224]

[@rebel9838]

Should have went with the POWER WAGON cause you get the 2500 truck but with a 6.4L hemi not 5.7

[@rebel9838]

Also Dana 60 front and rear solid axles with front and rear lockers, 15lb winch disconnecting sway bar 35 in tires and optional air suspension. But to me the best part is getting the 2500 platform and solid front axle. Maybe not the best for a daily but bigger is better. Here in Georgia that overlander would be considered small lol. Here 38in to 40in tires are small some dealer ship put 38 on the new vehicles to sell.

I don't know if they changed something going from the States to Austrailia but that HEMI should be making 395 HP not 295 before the supercharger. My 2017 was 395HP and 410 foot pounds torque.

I'm close to buying a RAM 1500. I see it's overall length,5.8m, is longer than the minimum size of Australian car parks which I understand is 5.0m. So, how do you avoid getting tickets for exceeding the extent of the car park size? 🇦🇺🤔

@@GOLMINER2 - No, he just has to be accurate. He misspoke when he said HP instead of KW, an easy mistake, but one that confused some people watching. Thus the questions in the comments section. It doesn't matter whether you're American or Australian, it was still incorrect and left people wondering. Your first comment was helpful to those who might not know there's a different measurement standard in Australia. Your second comment was simply condescending and useless.

[@calebchan5798]

This truck will be around for a good 30years

[@TheRamGuy]

Did I hear that right when they said the Hemi makes 295hp from the factory??? That seems really low when they are rated at 395Hp in the states

[@TrolloTV]

Both isnt that much for such a big engine, actually. 400hp can be quite comfortably had with a 3 to 4L engine

[@TheRamGuy]

@@TrolloTV what 3liter puts out 400hp Naturally aspirated? Also since this is a truck where torque is king tell the torque rating on an N/A 3 or 4liter? 400 hp and 410lb/ft of torque is very good for a simple and durable pushrod engine which is great for truck duty

[@TrolloTV]

@@TheRamGuy Naturally aspirated is stone-age tech nowadays, so i just assumed turbos. Of course, in the end these engines are made to be simple and cheap relative to their performance.

[@TheRamGuy]

@@TrolloTV you clearly have limited knowledge of engines or engineering. Turbo charging has been around since the 1950's so stone aged tech I guess. These engines are made to be simple, powerful yet reliable. It's funny how you say the naturally aspirated engine is stone aged for not using a turbo which has been in use since the 1950's in production cars🤣. 410lb/ft of torque from an N/A 2 valve per cylinder pushrod V8 gasokine engine is very impressive

[@TrolloTV]

@@TheRamGuy turbocharging has not been applied for the broader market of petrol cars for too long, and you probably know that as well. Diesel turbos have been areound for onger though. I dont quite get your point here, to be honest. 390hp from a 5.7 engine sucks ass, but i also mentioned that " in the end these engines are made to be simple and cheap relative to their performance.". Doesnt change anything about the low hp for that kind of displacement though.
