Here Is Ram's "Secret" New Truck You NEED to Know About!

[@Tacosauce81]

Back in 2015, I bought a brand new GMC, Denali HD, fully loaded. With the Duramax for $57k! Today, that same truck is pushing $100k! In 9 years the price jumped almost $45K!?! Prices need to drop, or they'll ROT!!!

[@spizike9866]

It’s absolutely crazy what prices have done.

[@a2r7n6]

The Warlock is a nice package. I added a few things and came out with an MSRP of $56k. Acceptable, considering today's truck prices. Thanks for the tip. 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@ralphe.5877]

Very cool configuration - I think this Warlock really offers a good value (given the high price level of trucks in general)! Thank you! 😊

[@spizike9866]

57k for an off road work truck….Remember when you could buy a base Gen 3 Raptor for 65k. The last 3 years has been rough. Inflation sucks.

Good video andre, but I don't see why the fx4 wouldn't be in the same category when they both have offroad suspension and locking diff. I actually think the ford is a better buy with steel bumpers and some underbody protection and most likely a cheaper price tag and proven engine options

[@krizcarloz9880]

That number is still crazy. I bought a 2020 gmc 2500 Sle with the duramax in that same year, for 52k brand new. Added a 6.5" BDS suspension with fox shocks and stabilizer. 37" tires and was just breaking 60k after all that. You guys give out great info but you try to normalize these crazy prices.

[@SurelyYewJest]

Nobody's normalizing the prices. Only the manufacturers can do that. This is how Capitalism works.

[@matthewskidmore3530]

I’m glad you talked about this truck. I was just saying I wanted to see more about the warlock. I honestly didn’t even know they released whether they would be doing the warlock in 2025 or not. I just bought a nice charcoal with black decals warlock a few months back. I hope to see one in one of your towing/ off-road videos. Mine with a hemi has been to the Smoky’s twice with a winnebago mini drop 19ft bunkhouse from Florida and all off-road in the mountains in the Smokies effortlessly.

[@matthewskidmore3530]

After reading some of the other comments though, I think I would rather see a comparison with the warlock and the rebel.

[@tylerwilliams9664]

I went to my local dealer and built an RHO. I wanted to see exactly how expensive I could make the truck. I added the Level 1 equipment package, offroad running boards, silver paint, all the graphics, bead lock wheels, bed protection, red interior accents, and the trailer brake controller. After all was said and done my MSRP was $91k. However most people would be able to get it for less if you negotiate with the dealer.

[@picodegallo1959]

Thank you so much for this. Much appreciated.

[@Kjhgr01]

Nice, It's equivalent to the Custom Trailboss, I guess... The only thing missing for me would be the adaptive cruise control.

[@busslayer4790]

I was interested when I saw the Warlock option pack was $3k. It wasn't clear at first, but thought that was a great deal as it included the engine upgrade. I figured it out a little later that it 'requires' the engine upgrade but the engine is added and billed separately. If the Warlock could be optioned to come out closer $50k I might have considered it.

[@matthewskidmore3530]

Something I realized when I bought my warlock was it’s not as sought after as a truck like a rebel is which gave me a lot of negotiating power. I got $9000 off MSRP and negotiated a good deal for 100,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty which is necessity since I pull a camper a few times a year with my family and drive it back-and-forth to work.

[@buck546]

I remember the original Warlock they were very cool little trucks. I miss the simple days. The new ones have much more horsepower but they don't have the original charm and that 360 V8 was fine back in the day!

[@Highaltitude45]

I understand manufactures are being forced to adopt turbo charged engines. What I hate is that in order to get the most out of these engines you have to run 93 or 94 octane. I tried a 3.5 ecoboost 2022 and to get the best fuel economy (24mpg) and for the engine to not get towing fatigue while hooked up for more than 2 hours I had to run ultra premium fuel, I was shocked that even with 91 octane it would not perform at its best. Extremely expensive engines to run....properly

[@creedbratton2151]

I went for the 2024 Ram Tradesman Warlock with the 5.7 hemi and love it. Black with aftermarket black leather and heated seats. Factory bed liner and tow package a lot of truck for $48K US. Love my V-8 growl a little less power than the hurricane but sounds way better.

[@josephmalinowski6817]

I like the Warlock when it first was released but I do not like that I did not come in a crew cab. That's why when I bought my 3rd Ram truck I bought the express even though it's the lowest version I bought the fully loaded which came with the posi rear tow package giving you the tranny cooler and the break controller on the inside also with the tow haul button. My first Ram was a 2500 diesel that I still have and the other what is a Ram 1500 Sport and I never ended up using half the things anyways and I don't like the panoramic roof I never used the sliding window. Besides me always debadging every vehicle I have, I'll always buy a Ram truck.
