2022 RAM 1500 Laramie Review.. Why Is This So Good?

[@MeynMotorGroup]

I have recently partnered up with AutoCompanion after making this video and here is my affiliate link: autocompanion.com/meynmotorgroup if you sign up with this link you can get $25-$50 off the broker fee so it makes the new Truck deal just a bit sweeter and you will be supporting my channel since I will receive a small commission. Let me know how you spec your new truck.

[@dankruger2890]

I just bought a 22' Ram Hemi Etorque and it gets a solid 18 to 19 mpg. Now if i drive 60mph on flat ground i can get 24mpg. The truck likes to float, just cruises. My wife really likes this truck. Here's a little example. Hook up her Ipod and it shows the play list on the screen, you can also have the ipod and my phone hooked up at once. Tested another Ram truck with a pioneer stereo system and the stock Ram stereo system is clearer and sounds better. The stock stereo system in are Big Horn is Perfect. And then storage, no other truck beats the Ram in this category, with Ram boxes, ice box, center console and tonneau clover. Biggest thing is...... I feel that we bought a truck that is very reliable and has been around a long time.

[@timw2083]

It's easy to like a truck. I had a Laramie and it was the best riding vehicle I had. Now there's so much tech in them

[@MeynMotorGroup]

So true Trucks are strangely satisfying I understand the love for them and yes new ones are loaded to the brim with tech

[@schpood]

I bought a '22 Laramie w/ the EcoDiesel two weeks ago. There's a ton of them available right now, and the 0% APR is a deal that you need to jump on now. Mine came w/ the blind spot monitoring. If you're looking, there's a difference between the level 1 tech package and the level a tech package. Half the RAMs on the lot had one or the other - this means half came w/ monitoring and half didn't. I think it's like $400 more w/ the BSM. So far, I love the truck. Super comfortable and 800 miles in I'm averaging 29.7 MPG (70% highway driving).

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Nice! Did you get a discount on your new Laramie?

[@schpood]

@@MeynMotorGroup Sure did! MSRP was $58250 and I paid $58500 OTD. Ford and Chevy dealers had nothing in stock, while RAM had nearly-full lots across all trim levels.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

The Laramie featured in this video was $62k we got it for $56k otd

[@schpood]

@@MeynMotorGroup yes dude! after tax, title, fees, dealer addons and markup the truck was pushing $70k. So i'm super happy with it.

[@JohnDough-d6o]

Just picked up a used 2021 Laramie sport... No regrets, the thing is completely awesome and looks/rides great. I literally have zero complaints with it. So much space inside and a ton of little spaces to put things!!

[@coachbeam3600]

Test drove a RAM the other day. Thought I was gonna hate the knob shifter but really liked it. Completely out of the way.

[@christopherbrown1391]

Awesome video I’ve waited on you to do a review on ram this is the truck I would buy first

[@MeynMotorGroup]

I’m glad I could provide value my friend thanks for watching

[@IKhanNot]

The Mercedes Benz of trucks. The thing with these trim levels is (with me anyway) I would be scared to even get this thing dirty because it's so nice. I would have to buy a Rebel version or just the Tradesman trim and add AT tires to it.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea I know what you mean this vehicle might actually be worth ceramic coating and even doing a PPF on since it does cost a bit and paint quality sucks on this vehicle

[@spxvfx]

Still wish they brought the x class here

[@IKhanNot]

@@spxvfx I'm not sure it would sell all that well at least here. I'd spring for the Frontier if I had to go mid size.

[@leppycon]

Just got mine a week ago....I love it. Amazing truck

[@SharkBoy87]

There are many days, for leisure, I take my RAM over my Porsche. It's just a comfortable, spacious, laid back ride. Luxury with all the chrome, 12" screen, heated seats. Let alone they really hit the ballpark with their engine, and especially the TRX model. Considering my last vehicle was a modern Navigator, that's impressive. Also- I disagree on the screen. Yes it has some temp controls, but they are at the side and wireless CarPlay uses the entire screen.

[@Tokoa144]

[@flowstate6769]

💯% agree with everything you said. Great review.

[@briandonald]

It is true that they did, at least briefly, take away the blindspot/cross traffic monitoring for the Laramie. I ordered my ‘22 Laramie in September ‘21 and those options were not available in any package. If you go out to Ram’s site now, you still can’t build it with these options, however, yourself and another guy on a Ram forum confirmed that they are available again. I’m going to see if I can get a retrofit because I feel like I was cheated. The truck in the vid is almost identical to mine, by the way.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Oh man I’m so sorry to hear that yea maybe even the dealership can help you out and install it? I’m not sure but let me know if you figure something out

[@briandonald]

@@MeynMotorGroup Sure will. Thanks, man.

I’m torn between this and the 2nd-3rd-4th Gen Rams. I love them all and I can only have one 😂 also I only pay for things in cash so definitely leaning towards the older ones lol. Love the Hemi 😍

[@segelnnatur2022]

I'm very upset my 2022 Ram 1500 Laramie with level 2 package didn't come with the reclining rear seats like my 2019 did. Pisses me off to the max. They also did away with the four way seat lumbar. It's now only two way, either inflation or deflation. Anyone know what those right angle brackets are for in the upper front corners of the bed ? Thank you

[@tylermichaud8699]

Laramie level 2 gives you the reclining back seats

[@segelnnatur2022]

@@tylermichaud8699 are you absolutely sure? I think not. Only the Limited comes with the rear reclining seats. No Laramies. Thank you

[@segelnnatur2022]

@@tylermichaud8699 Thank you, where did you get it? I mean which dealership, in which state ? I'm guessing maybe they made some with the reclining rear seats and some without them, unfortunately. I found out why those bed brackets are there. Its because ive got the multi function tailgate, which is a huge help and I'm so glad i ordered it. for extra bed reinforcement. I also like my electric retracting trailer mirrors alot. The Harmon Kardon stereo is also a must have. I got the lane departure safety feature which also is very nice. It works well. Haven't experienced the cruise control auto braking yet but it's in my new 2022 Laramie also. Thanks again 👍

[@frednorton1704]

One thing I don't like about all these trucks is this symmetry thing. Why are all those controls located in the middle of the truck, why can't they be over where the driver can reach them and see them? Who sits on that center console?

It’s a lease a dump just like every other new car it’s been the trend for the last several years

[@ramrider1453]

@texas legend How professional are ya?? Lmao!!! I’m one also and would take working on a Ram over Ford or GM any day. You should know that. Easier to work on by a mile sir. Ford sucks to work on but GM is better. As for reliability Ram came a long way by far. First place right now.

[@ramrider1453]

@texas legend Oh for sure. 10 years ago you wouldn’t catch me owning a Dodge. Now??? I wouldn’t think twice. Can’t beat the power train with Hemi and ZF transmission. Great combo. But Toyota is the next option for sure. Pretty reliable. Not sure of the new one yet. They are all getting harder to work on also.

[@2502860]

Whats a better choice 2022 big horn or 2020 Laramie

[@MeynMotorGroup]

I think you’re better off going with the new truck since used cars are going for more than new ones

[@jpmorso3798]

Why do u not recommend the rebel what’s wrong with it can u please explain

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Nothing wrong just doesn’t fit the luxury character of the Ram by getting a noisy off road version

[@soorajmjose8406]

Why didn’t you recommend Rebel? Any particular reason?

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea sorry I should have elaborated more on that. Nothing wrong with the rebel only reason why I don’t think it’s the optimal choice is because RAM did such a good job on making this into a luxury product that I believed the Big Horn, Laramie, and Limited trims suite this vehicle and its mission of being a luxury truck the best. I totally left out the off road crowd but I guess the Rebel is a good off road choice if you’re into that. But the best Stellantis off road products are def the Jeeps. The all terrain tires and lifted nature of the Rebel take away some of the luxury qualities but it’s cool if that’s what you’re into. Nothing inherently wrong with the Rebel
