Twister made me love the Ram. In 2015 I was in outside sales for a large industrial company. All of their company vehicles were Ram 1500s. They leased them for $250 a month and after 2 years sold them and got new ones. In my 7.5 years there I had 3 of them. They were great. I beat them to death. Many, many times going full throttle, carrying pallets of water a lot (which is over 2,000 lbs and well over that trucks limit). Other times carrying nearly 1,000 pounds of fasteners. Never once had an issue.

First time I drove a Ram pickup it was to help tow another vehicle. It wasn't my personal truck.

If you watch the movie closely as I have been a tech for CDJR dealerships since 85. There are several trucks. The main hero truck 2500 club cab V10. Film trucks 1500 club cab 1500’s. I believe I worked on one of the film trucks. An employee at one of the parts where houses for Chrysler bought a red club cab 1500 4x4. It had a slipping transmission. I found at at 6 camera mounts under the truck. It had a new aftermarket drive line. When I pulled the transmission out it had aftermarket parts in it. You can tell it was used hard.

[@gzuzsavz]

it was a shame Dodge put the light duty (904 based) trans in the magnum V8 trucks at all back then..although a customer could and should have made sure it had the HD 727 based transmission anyway. They would hold up to dbl the use and abuse as the 904 based units.

I'm doing a Twister project with the Dodge Ram and Dorothy but toy size as a diorama! It's gonna be good as Dorothy will be flying! Its for when Twisters comes out this summer! I grew up with watching Twister over the years! Note: As far as the fifth DOROTHY comes around in Twisters, the labels are pretty much the same but with some upgrades. The most recognizable upgrade is the lid is opened both sides by the button/ Remote controlled Kiernan Shipka's character pushes, kind of like what Jo (Helen Hunt) pressed in the original except the buttons are on the same side from Dorothy I-IV and Dorothy V. The button is by the DOROTHY sticker with the tornado saying Muskogee State College. We'll get a closer look once Twisters comes out and why Dorothy with its lineage made a return. Again that's what I've noticed. And there's no CC cameras on Dorothy V so far. And the barrel for Dorothy hasn't changed at all.

I remember seeing this movie in the theaters, came out and the sky was black from a severe thunderstorm in the area at the time. I can't recall if it dropped a tornado but there was localized flooding because the rain came down at the same time as a mean high tide. As for the trucks getting harder to come by, makes sense because the second gen is starting to push 30 years, and that gen dodge always seemed to rust out on the cab corners, foot wells, and fenders. Plus the usual dodge front end falling off issues.

Tough trucks, indeed! Same with Gen 1's! I miss my red '93 Ram 150, standard cab, long box, 5.9L mag. Excellent. One note: My bro and i have scrapped out a few veh over the years. An interesting thing is veh glass toughness. Vintage..ie 60-80's & even 90's Mopar cars/trucks/vans have extremely tough glass! I can't vouch for anything newer, but veh glass specs have resulted in thinner glass these days. The classic Chrysler Airtemp glass is insanely strong. One time we were parting out an '85 5th Ave. Deal was to pick the thing up by the roof with a tractor with forklift forks on the bucket. We figd ok..break the side window glass out. I grabbed a driveshaft (Yeah..heavy!) to use as a battering ram and..it bounces off the glass! Try agin..like 5x finally gave up and just had bro drive the forks into the glass..the forks skidded up and slipped through the top of the door frame and finally then..i guess chips and nicks from all of that the glass finally spiderwebbed! Jeepers! Ya shudda seen this 3,800lb car rock to the side as the tractor pushed at the glass. I am sooo not making this up. Brand X anything..Ford, GM, AMC..glass was never even close to this to tough. PPG made excellent glass..out of bizz..bc too good, as it goes. They sold less glass bc the stuff never broke much!

Just 4-days ago I watched Twister (on DVD) for the first time since probably 1996. For my own taste, it is way too "Hollywood" and unrealistic, so I don't really care for it, but I am a fan of RAM trucks and I own 2 of them, a 2005 2500 Cummins and a 2016 2500 6.4 HEMI. I do like the nice brand-new Dodge truck/trucks they used in the film. And even that dually Chevy Suburban (not shown in this video) was pretty neat. My reason for this comment is more to give props to "Big Brother" and the algorithm for suggesting this video to me, since I DID NOT go looking for anything regarding the movie nor the vehicles of the movie! And this video has only been out for 3-days longer than my revisit to the movie. Pretty incredible.

There was a scene in the movie when Bill suddenly stops and takes a side road, this was just before the waterspout scene.

[@CarStarz42]

As mentioned in the video, only V8s and V10s were used, but V8 sounds were dubbed in over all for the Ram. The diesel engine powered truck, didn't make it into the film, at least not with the diesel engine in it anyway.

Interesting 😉👍

[@AdmiralRustyShackleford]

So, the 12V was just too badass for the movie.

[@CarStarz42]

Apparently so 😉

[@Fluffy65]

My favorite tidbit is how the airbag warning light was on in the scene where Jo looks over and scoffs that he's not going fast enough. He relents and stomps the accelerator, where they show a brief shot of the instrument cluster as the truck gains speed. There might be a different practical reason for the light being on, but as someone familiar with 1990s Chrysler electrics, airbag faults were extremely common. So I always took it as an error left in the film, and a not-so-nice indicator of Chrysler quality.

[@CarStarz42]

Yeah, they probably purposely disabled the airbag so it wouldn't go off during stunts and such and also in the trucks they sectioned for special effects and or interior scenes😉

I currently own a reg cab 1500 from 96' with the V8 5.9 (360) engine, has 225k miles on it, engine still runs and drives just fine....the dash on the other hand, not so great....dash? What Dash? Lol Definitely not getting $30k for mine it was a Sheriff's Personal Response Truck and then as my POV for the Fire Department, it responded to over 600 calls over the course of 5 years. Some of those were Direct on scene or I responded to crashes that happened in front of me or very nearly when I was on the road. Its an absolute beast of a truck with a very bullet proof easy to work on Magnum Small Block engine, the predecessor to the LA 318 which I also have in my 1978 Dodge Ramcharger, it has over 96k miles on its thousands odometer, which broke 26 years ago its been across the US fro CA to NC 4 times, still going strong. Fun family fact I was Born in May my Dad in March, his Ramcharger date code is for May my date code on my Ram is for March. Two vehicles bought over different times. Dad has passed now almost 4 years, and it's not easy, but having the family vehicle I grew up with and learned to drive sitting in there I feel my Dad sitting there next to me, in both vehicles. Thanks for reading ❤

[@CarStarz42]

Cool 😉👍 Lol, yeah; the dash disintegrated on my '94 quite quick and ridiculously as well.

The coolest truck in the movie was, of course, Jo's Honcho. The only part of the movie that made me sick was when it got dropped on its lid.😢

[@CarStarz42]

Yeah, that Jeep was something special indeed 😉👍

[@terrybeavan4264]

Agreed! A late loved uncle of mine had a then-new Honcho in blue when I was a kid, loved that truck and rode in it many a time before he traded it for a Wagoneer, and from the first time seeing the movie in the theater to the last time I watched it a few months ago, those scenes where they beat the hell out of that Honcho almost causes me physical pain! Would love to see a video on the Honcho too!

[@mattdaugherty7865]

The only complaint I had with my 1999 was the brittle front dash, it would just crack and the come off in pieces!

[@CarStarz42]

Yeah, mine in my '94 literally disintegrated as well, glad today's Rams are significantly higher quality in all aspects 😉👍

The house scene was probably my first experience with continuity errors in movies, with it entering and exiting the first floor, despite driving up stairs.

Good to see you back! I enjoy the videos. A rare car would be the taxi cab from the 90s movie " The Shadow".

[@fireman1294]

I had a 1997 Ram 1500 4x4 standard cab short bed. It had a very large and comfortable interior a large and lifted stock stance that could fit 33 inch tires without a lift.

[@CarStarz42]

Indeed, people used to always ask me if I had lifted my '94 Ram, but it wasn't at the time, just stock lol.

[@garlantyrell8030]

Just came across your videos and loving them. Hope to see the Lincoln town car from the movie Dutch eventually (crossing my fingers)

Welcome and glad to hear you are enjoying the channel. I saw that movie once many years ago and don't remember much of anything about it, but I'll add it to my very long list of ones to look into. Thanks

#11 The hail damage on the Ram trucks was done by ball peen hammers with rags wrapped around them. I was a teenager when the movie was shot and one day was riding my bike past an area where they were filming. There were two guys hitting one of the trucks with hammers to make the dents.

[@CarStarz42]

Indeed, that would have been an odd sight to see I suppose, lol 😉

[@tthomaselli2]

CarStarz- As much as I loved this video & like the movie 'Twister', respectively, fact #7 really made me sad. I was hoping that the surviving Dodge RAM pick-up trucks that weren't used, or, were hardly used could've been saved. Those were some nice pick-up trucks, in fairness...

[@CarStarz42]

Indeed.

[@carlwesstonerSTONER]

Iv always loved the Rams and ford pickup trucks my aunt had 1997 dodge Decoda when I saw the movie twister as a kid in the 90s it reminded me of the movie, and she still drives ram trucks Today and now I drive 22 1500 classic 4x4 and yes i want the 2500 someday on a trade in

My second gen Ram 2500 never drove though a house, but has hit a cow at 55 mph and a deer at 60 mph. One time it did drive though an Amish buggy 65 mph pulling a trailer and we all lived to tell the tale.

[@captlazer5509]

Like the movie but accuracy is a little fuzzy. For example, at the start, they mention an F5 tornado in the late 60's... the F scale didn't come in until the 70's. That Dodge did take a beating! I figured they had many. Nice to see you back!

Thanks and true 😉

[@ragestorms1942]

This video is pretty good I started Storm chasing as a car guy that got interested in something called the tiv which is a vehicle designed to go inside of tornadoes but as a storm chaser in reality trucks aren't the greatest you want something that's comfortable and long distance does not use a lot of fuel but preferably all wheel drive most of the people I know actually like Subarus
