Reminds me of the porsche 911 964 model, I haven't looked it up but search up 911 964 straight pipes and it's one drifting around a dead end area...sounds like a v8 pretty much, my buddy was saying they having a super high lift on the camshafts which give it the sound but I never looked it up

[@monikhushalpuri]

Even the 2011-2017 3.7 v6 mustangs can be made to sound deep but need an H pipe, shorty headers and 2.75 inch piping at the least all the way back, heard one in person with this type of set up and while not v8 deep, its prob one of the deepest modern v6 exhausts I've heard thus far

[@Modikie]

Its more about the firing order, plus the addition of 2 turbochargers. I4 and i6 are generally flat plane cranks but most v8's are cross plane. And also the addition of 2 turbos restrict the sound. If you take an n/a i6, it sounds really good. Take a twin turbo i6, not so much. And with a really powerful flat plane v8 like the zr1 with twin turbos, its making so much more power (over 1000) that more of the sound is transfered into the exhaust. So even though it is still restricted by the turbos, the massive power and therefore combustion power is much, much stronger leading to the sound not sounding that much more muffled. But many of these turbo 6's aren't powerful enough to really overcome the comparatively large turbos, so they sound muffled.

[@justinsweeney643]

It's not the number of cylinders, it's the timing. DOHC engines have a higher pitch, raspy note to them while pushrod engines have a rougher, more throaty sound to them. I have a push rod V6 in my Impala and it sounds a lot closer to an American V8 than a Japanese V6.

This thing has AMAZING features and screens I wish every new car had. Excellent implentations!

[@dopebossgamerz]

Iv always loved how rams trucks looked. They should make a 550 hp small one like the ranger raptor

[@Taktari]

Yesssss! Another outdoors car review

[@nicksimeone]

Shoulda been called the RHD (really high depreciation)

[@macbook802]

Requires Huge Ovaries

[@bot-ng3xe]

People arent going to like the smaller engine because its a small engine but i personally love inline 6’s and with twin turbos im sure people will be putting some wild size turbos on this thing eventually

[@Number69]

Doug the type of guy to try to crowbar in as many U2 songs in a review as possible.

[@jonlosito2004]

Yes and the captions of what he says from a song is all capital. That's funny!! 😂😂

[@Number69]

@jonlosito2004 surprised he didnt use lemon, the sweetest thing or achtung baby

[@dlcarr187]

Bearded Doug rules liking the look and the knowledge. Keep the quirks and features coming

[@vinny5203]

not sure if it's a straight piped civic or a Ram RHO at the light

[@EthanQ]

I like how they have multiple cameras, so the owners can see if they're gonna hit the curb at the local Starbucks or mall parking. 😂

[@ben_duff]

How did they make a V6 sound like a 4 cylinder?

[@HEAVY_IS_THE_METAL]

They all sound like that, it's AWFUL 🤢

[@jamesengland7461]

inline 6

[@ben_duff]

@@jamesengland7461 I don’t care

[@celestinohernandez1488]

23:56 the future owner of the truck seeing the suspension get primed :👁️👄👁️

[@floridaman7]

Its a stallantis product so my expectations are pretty low

[@kylefowler5082]

Great video Doug! More truck videos please!

[@somebody9785]

Doug is the kind of guy who buys a pick-up to haul his mother-in-law in the truck bed 😮

[@ozarkliving7263]

You are still a nobody.

[@modelmanjohn]

I used to drive my in-laws late 70s Ram with 3 on the tree and a v8. At best it could be described as a metal box on wheels with seats. Its big features is that it had an fm radio and those triangle windows on the doors. I'd rather have that than any pickup made today.

[@fauxtool952]

like most auto journalists, doug is excited about the things that truck owners dont care about. Keep polishing turds and wondering why no one wants a RAM

[@steveww07]

I thought so too

[@OneShotProduktions]

9:00 oof that's bad.

[@SombreroKnight]

Sounds like a digital Honda Civic fart can.

[@DustinHasVideos]

It’s not bad per se, but it’s horrendous for a truck. They need to get a company to retune the exhaust noise immediately.

[@psychodelogen.9694]

The best thing about this truck is the "Ramcharger" easter egg

[@DMBVR4]

We need interesting stuff, brand new dad cosplay trucks need not apply.

[@teejayoriginatorz]

Doug with a beard after all these years is mind blowing 🤯

[@Space_Cowboy941]

The marketing team forgot one simple fact: the name is dumb

[@MrLegoguy1200]

It’s also really easy to make fun of 🤣

[@vell0510]

I’ve driven a few rams with the hurricane both versions and I believe it or not is the best driving ICE truck available if you can ignore the exhaust or lack of. Reliable is unknown but it’s a gem out of the box.

[@MRJBTA]

Crew cab = I'll pass.

[@markcoopers1930]

If you can't spec a 10-ft bed single cab then what are you even doing?

[@Aiboleet]

Finally outdoor review, missed those!

[@MANG00J]

The only reason people are mad are because there’s a lot of fragile dudes who feel like less of a man for some reason when you give them their big macho tough guy pickup truck a V6 😂

[@BlueTigerM40A3]

Doug, please do a review on the new Fox Factory Silverado

[@turnerdrywallrestoration8077]

I love this truck and want one. It’s beautiful. I have the Explorer ST with a Borla exhaust. Sounds great, and twin turbos are super fun. Can’t imagine having a pickup that’s faster than my ST for roughly the same price too.

[@robertbrannan9375]

The people that are mad the trx is gone are people that fit in 1 of 2 categories. Group A are people that can afford to purchase and would, group B are people that cant afford one, dream of one day being able to, but most likely will never own one. Group A is a small percentage of the population and a small percentage of their sales. Group B in regards to running a business is irrelevant because they cant or wont ever actually buy one.

[@lescobrandon1011]

Twin turbo Stelantis? Should be very reliable!

[@PsychicWarrior100]

great Review Doug..thank you :-)

[@Hiram27]

After all these years its fun to see just how much Doug still loves his job when he drives, though I get this one is probably one of the funnest.

[@filmgunproductions4448]

One big point that I'd like to see some stress tests on: the Raptor had better offroad capabilities than the TRX. While they both are definitely competitive, the raptor was smoother over Dakar style "whoops" and also jumps, and you could literally see the difference when watching both trucks from the outside. I'd like to see if the RHO improved on this.

[@luvium1]

Great review as always, IMO same old TRX looking truck. Come in ram, wow us!

[@bradleyp33]

“THIS” is Doug’s trademarked word!

[@slow8r]

Hey Doug. Note the shortcuts to the seat and steering wheel heaters in the top left and right of the screen. No physical buttons but those shortcuts are nice. Good video though!

[@the_legend_of_kira2438]

Another quirk not mentioned is new ram trucks in certain trims comes with a nfc card that can unlock and start the truck much like a tesla. There is also a button on the side of the tailgate to raise it again. All tailgate functions can be controlled by the key.

[@UCQmxWH9e2sMpQMAFOiKdojw]

17:02 how do you miss the unexpected tap to pay quark/feature on the left wireless charger

Doug friggin rocks !

[@dankgankster4100]

I know everyone is upset about the v8 going out, I am too. But as someone who thinks inline 6 is the best all time engine design, I love the return of i6 engines
