Finally!!! A warlock review

[@autobotavengerfireballxl5339]

Honestly for what you're getting if you don't care about air ride suspension or a 12 inch screen save your money you can get a half-decent interior in the top trim level Warlock that'll give you a vinyl package not to mention LED bed lighting and backup sensors what more could you want in a truck

Just got mine in the old shape and I love it...no one talks about the lighting of the footwells, small LED in the cabin , the comfort of the seats . The inch lift and 20 inch rims make a hell of a difference , the fuel efficiency is amazing with the 4 cylinder shut down under light loads. If you`re thinking of getting one you can`t lose.

[@kristoferbrown8007]

I ended up buying a new billet silver 2019 Warlock 4x4 quad cab, v6 3:21 ratio this past March for $32k USD 0% for 60 months. Let me start off by saying that I'm a Honda/ Toyota guy, and this is my first pickup truck. My needs mainly involve getting sheet goods and lumber for woodworking and occasionally hauling a 5x10 trailer to get mulch or service my tractor. My budget was tight, I wanted to spend $32k or less. I did not think there was a new full size truck out there for me in that price range. Heck, you can't get a Ridgeline or 4x4 Tacoma for that. Durability and resell value are very important to me, but I knew I couldn't afford a Tundra. When I started looking I thought for sure that I'd end up with a F150. I test drove the STX package as it was close to my budget and still looked sharp. For starters, the site lines are crap. It felt like driving a boat. It also drove like a brick. As I said, I've been driving cars and SUVs all my life. I wanted something that rode decently. Secondly, I can't stand a column shifter. To me that is really outdated. Lastly, I didn't think the 2.7l twin turbo's acceleration wasn't great. After being thoroughly disappointed, as the F150 was my first choice, I decided to stop in and test drive a RAM. Now, I'm not a Chrysler fan. I swore to never ever get another one, but the new Rams were getting good reviews. I didn't even know there was a Warlock package, but when they pulled it around my first thought was, this thing looks mean. I know it is just stickers and blacked out everything, but it fit my personality. So I drove it. The first thing I noticed was the dial shifter. I know most hate it, but it seemed really convenient to me. In most vehicles, especially a column shifter, I'm messing around trying to find a gear. In this thing, I didn't even have to look. To each their own. Secondly, I got the 8.4" Uconnect system, and to me, it was much nicer/ more intuitive than the Ford. The dual climate control was nice. It does have the rear camera and sensors. It has the larger digital instrument panel. The interior is all black. Most importantly, it was a very smooth AND quiet ride. While you could hear everything banging and clanging around in the F150, the road noise was hardly noticeable in the Ram. It drove more like a large SUV, and that is what I was after. I wasn't buying a work truck. I was buying a commuter truck that was comfortable. Yes, the v6 is no v8. It will get up and go, but there's no comparison. And honestly, the gas mileage is probably negligible. I live in a hilly environment and average about 20-21. The gen 4 Rams with a hemi around here get about 15-16. Is 5mpg worth it at the sacrifice of power and towing? To me, yes, but to most, probably not. Also, had I speced the vehicle myself, I would have gotten the 3:55 ratio for a little extra towing capacity, but my dealer only had two 2019s left on the lot. I went with the 2019 because it qualified for the 0% interest at the time and was $2k cheaper. Now the 2020s are the same price due to COVID. Go figure. The transmission is delayed and takes it's time finding the right gear. That is definitely annoying, buy you learn to live with it. I'm going to try a Pedal Commander to help with that. With all that being said, yes, I have durability concerns. Yes, I worry about rust. Owning a Chrysler product scares me, but I took a chance. Only time will time. I bought new so that I had the full factory warranty and could make sure it was maintained properly. I bought as much truck as I could afford, and I'm very happy with it. The only thing I would have done differently is get the better gear ratio. It's a $95 addon at the factor. That's my only regret. I know this is long, but I hope it helps someone make a decision on the classic line, mainly the Warlock. If I get 5 worry free years out of it, I'll be happy. I would have had to spend a lot more to get the same ride comfort and features in another brand, and ultimately that is what is came down to for me.

[@0223Jeremy]

You said the 2.7 acceleration wasn’t good but you bought a v6 ram which is like driving a 88 Buick pulling a pontoon boat lol The 2.7 eco accelerates 0-60 in under 6 seconds in the 4x4 4dr version. Maybe you just had drove a basic v6 truck.

[@Kingsoupturbo]

That v6 is really nice and suitable for almost all situations, very good looking trucks, superb handling as well compared to the F150's

[@samin90]

I bought a Ram 1500 Classic Express last year for ~42k Canadian, that's like 31k American. It has the same Hemi engine, ZF8, and 8.4" Apple Carplay/Android Auto screen as the new trucks. Only thing it lacks over the Warlock shown was parking sensors and the digital instrument cluster. Capability wise it can still tow over 10k lbs, but payload is pretty bad with it's older frame, coil spring rears, crew cab, and 4x4. It was a trade off I was willing to accept for the price I paid, damn thing was cheaper than most midsize trucks out there. Oh and the dealership threw in a remote starter and reupholstered the seats in leather, with orange stitching to match the paint.

[@timothycc711]

Good idea getting 4x4. You could add aftermarket locker later.

[@SuperAbooboo]

you are okay till 250k kms (not miles) thats when top end of the engine wears out, till then it'll be very good. so 200k -250k is the limit. talking from experience. for that price its awesome deal.

[@wulf-3596]

I just bought a '21 Warlock, and IMO, it is basically a lower optioned 4th gen Rebel, because many of the styling cues are either identical or very close, the grille design, the blacked out bumpers, etc.

[@valsahr5836]

I have been shopping for a while before I bought a 22 Laramie. I traded in 2011 ram, which I loved, to get my new 5th gen. I really tried to get into a classic to save a bit, but all the things that I disliked about the 11 were still there. The new trucks have better springs in the back that don’t sag with a moderate load like the classics. Ram has fixed much of the ride issues that needed improvement. They improved the cab inside tremendously. The fan and steering are all electric, which frees up the hp for use or efficiency. Light are amazing on the new truck as well as the safety features. Had I not spent a decade with the classic body style, I wouldn’t notice the vast majority of the improvements! Can’t lose either way.

Local dealers (Las Vegas area) have literally hundreds of 2WD Warlocks in stock according to online inventories. Almost every 1500 Classic has the Warlock package.

[@compactc9]

I know the now Classic body was used on the 2010-19 heavy duty. I know the 1500 usually gets the new body a year or so before though. I have a 2013 2500, and I also agree that that interior has held up well, style wise but even in a now 7 year old truck I get zero creaks and rattles from the dash and other inside. Feels a lot more solid than some of their previous interiors. That alone made me limit my search to 2010s and newer when I was shopping last year.

[@daverodkey]

Just bought one........... LOVE IT !!!!!!!

[@timjones6637]

I just bought one 2022 Warlock quad bed. One step lower than expensive one.. no fall light, no push button start, no key starter, no floor compartment, oh well.. I got screw cuz I was in a hurry before they sold last one close by 3 hr drive.

[@VioletTrillium]

I love my Ram Warlock! The only thing I wish they’d change is their stock wheels.

[@KidJaeProductions]

Which you can change 😁 I want a Warlock

[@zmc6774]

I would never get the warlock when I could get an actual next gen ram for the same price of not cheaper

[@derekmortensen1665]

Exactly. The dude it full of shit. You are not getting the next gen ram for the same price.

[@georgefunes4535]

I wish RAM would make a Classic Heavy Duty Warlock that compares to the Power Wagon

I'm currently in negotiations for a Warlock quad cab in dark red that is loaded vs a 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation. I think the GMC is more polished and has the nicer appearance inside and out. I know the 5.3 is pretty bullet proof, where I know about camshaft and other issues with the 5.7 Hemi. They're both under $44k here in the US. I'm at 41,888 on the Warlock, which is a little over $8000 off. The GMC is 43,900, but I'm working on a better deal on it. I'm buying it to get a larger travel trailer than the 3000 lb one we tow with our 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk V6. Not going off roading, this will be our road trip vehicle and tow vehicle. I haven't driven either, but have driven a few of this body style Ram and liked the drive. I couldn't stand the new F150 3.5 EB 10 speed and the Chevy Z71 RST was way too bouncy in the front end. Hopefully the GMC isn't the same. Our last truck was a 2013 F150 3.5EB crew cab 4x4 XLT max tow and it was awesome. Ford went backwards IMO, but they still are the #1 selling vehicle.

[@zachariahatkinson9379]

The 4x4 express with a v8 is cheaper

[@mcool4587]

Classic aka old style. Old style means they have left over parts on the assembly lines and warehouses, and want to get them out of the inventory system. So what do you do? Classic detroit 70's move..slap some stickers on it, add black rims and grille, and blow them out before next quarters earnings are due out.

[@marcguevara162]

Regular cab HEMI Tradesman.... got for 20k, That’s your cheapest new V8 truck. 400 horses! So fun to drive!

[@jasoncastro7486]

For some reason I haven’t heard anything about the warlock around my area. Wonder how the sales wete

[@DetailxpertsNet1]

We like the older design. Thanks for a good review!

[@PooFace2030]

What is the towing capacity for the warlock. Particularly a v8 crew cab.

[@gpaje]

The Rebel needs those red interior accents, that black out option for the interior is too plain.

[@miketess4272]

The DS series trucks roots go back to the 2009 redesign and is still competitive. Just goes to show how relentless Ram has been in their half ton segment. Still a great truck. The new DT series is the Lexus of half ton trucks.

[@machfive916]

Great video guys!

[@kingelvis7035]

I priced out an Express Reg Cab with trailering stuff and V8 at $33K MSRP. Only thing is you don't find ones like this in dealer inventory.

[@spookyskeleton6052]

Im stuck between ram warlock and tacoma offroad. I like tacoma but i love the ram v8 engine and power and classic look. But im scared it wont be reliable or good for offroading. Nothing crazy for offroading, just cruising dirt paths. Really stuck 😕

[@Snkrsleyenda]

I have 2010 dodge ram TRX 5.7L clean love it

What i don't get is the halogen headlights. Why not leds?

[@DanBlackRacing]

I rented two new Rams. One was a warlock one was a V6 E torque fully loaded RAM and they were a nightmare. The center dash is a massive computer screen that's so overly complicated to navigate without using your eyes on it. Horrible user experience. It's great when you're sitting still but not when you're driving. It also drives like a car and sits low which is not good for me because I pull a large RV and I want that first window of air open when I drive. Both the vehicles I drove were $60,000.68,000 and I would happily say I would rather keep my 2021 Ram warlock I bought for $48,000. I'm never letting it go. It's simple, it gets the job done and has a few less gadgets than they're putting on them now. Best to even grab yourself a 2010 or older truck of any kind at this point before they're gone.

[@Bondovw]

I really liked my 2019 ram but had to trade it in less than a year. It had a lot of issues.

[@hogie1259]

Although mine was a 2014,That’s how it was for me too. I absolutely loved how comfortable it was, all the features etc. I absolutely hated the 7 recalls in a year and a half, the constant breaking manifold bolts , the plastic bed rail moldings constantly warping in the sun... you get the picture.

[@sostrucking]

Wow my 2012 has 240,000 miles and I'm now just have problems.

I'd rather have the Warlock. I still don't like the look of the new Rams.
