NEED THE REVIEW OF THE PURPLE MATTRESS. I’m in need of a new mattress like 6 years ago

[@KluveRothtar]

How are people still buying from this company? Look up the teardowns for their pillows and mattresses. They're covered in polymer dust from the manufacturing process that is toxic to breathe in. There's a guy on here (can't remember the name) who took a sample of the particles to a doctor he knew who said it's definitely plastic/rubber particulates that are horrible for you to breathe in. When he contacted Purple about it, they originally said it was baby powder which was a process in their manufacturing, and then when he showed them it wasn't, they slapped him with three giant books of lawsuits and said he was not allowed to disclose the information he found. Do not buy pillows or mattresses from this company guys. Seriously. Just get a normal mattress or pillow. It's not worth destroying your lungs over some stupid company that advertises well.

[@DOITWITHDAN]

@@KluveRothtar please do your research. This was a smear campaign from a competitive company. The person who did this "study" is the owner of his own pillow/mattress company. The white powder is not toxic. And you won't be breathing it in either. As for the mattress, it's AWESOME

[@KluveRothtar]

@@DOITWITHDAN I have because I thought it was pretty off that a company could get away with something like that. There's evidence on both sides as to whether he was affiliated with the competitive company or not (Ghost Bed themselves said they have no ties to him what so ever but you can find articles mentioning something about him being their chief CEO) however, even ignoring that, Purple did come out and say that the white powder is "a non-toxic plastic residue". I didn't mean toxic as in the plastic itself is as plastic is nutoriously chemically non-reactive depending on the type, but breathing in small particulates of any kind is a major health hazord. He was not the only one to put out videos of the dust coming through the surface of the mattress without the "protective layers" being still on it. Maybe it is comfortable. Maybe you haven't shown any health risk signs, and maybe you won't. But that doesn't change the fact that an error in manufacturing this severe where all they had to do was add an extra processing step of cleaning the mattress sends some major red flag warnings about the company as a whole and especially that one of their employees would claim its talcom powder without getting any background info from a higher up just to dodge criticism. I love your channel man, this is nothing against you. I've been around for several years so I don't want you to take it wrong. I still respect you, but I am concerned for your health and anyone else who listens to praises of a potentially hazardous mattress.

[@tylerward9277]

I also have a 2016 Rebel. I love the air suspension for towing my camper but it's crap in the winter months if you live in a cold climate. I live in Pa and we have some cold, nasty winters up here. Any time it gets down below about 30 degrees it freezes up and doesn't work and it throws a code and says air suspension needs immediate service. I have to let the truck warm up, shut it off, then start it back up again and it's fine. It's done that since the day I bought it.

Dan when it comes to storage, i know your rebel doesn't have the ram boxes on the sides of the bed. I also have a 2016 ram rebel, but in all black. I thought those boxes would be stupid and useless, but one side i keep all my tow ropes, tie down straps, and whatever else, and the other side is great to keep booze, fishing poles, or if you go out shooting throw guns in them. Plus they lock and unlock with the remote which is handy AF!

[@joshpodolsky7740]

What you said about dodges seat being comfortable is true. Some of the best seats I've sat in are the older dodge dakota seats, like 2002/2003. I could do a 12 hour road trip without being sore or uncomfortable in them. Whereas our 2014 silverado we have, has some of the most uncomfortable seats I've sat in. Not only that but low quality, after 100000 miles one of the springs in the left back support must've broke and now the seat isn't uniform.

[@quincedapence]

8:48-9:10 The difference between 1500s and 2500s is the payload capacity and tow capacity. It used to be that that was how many pounds of payload you could put in the bed (or how much weight a fifth wheel/gooseneck could be putting on the rear axle) but they've slowly gotten more and more without changing the numbers (midsizes now do 1500lbs, 1500s now do 2500lbs etc). So the difference is going to be in the suspension and probably better cooling for the transmission.

[@DonZaloog88]

Frame. 1500 is basically made of chopsticks.

[@SugarMilkbro]

The 2500 makes a decent amount more torque. On top of the better trans cooler and heavy duty suspension. And a 2500 pound winch

[@stephenbrown6763]

Had a 2014 RAM Express, then I bought a 2017 Bighorn. Basic truck seems pretty solid (so far), 5.7 and 8-speed have been great in both trucks. Problems with uconecct and bumper sensors with 15,000 on the truck makes me want my Express back. It sucks you can't just buy a truck with a couple options, heated seats, remote start, ( I live 7 miles from Lake Erie in Pa., winter sucks here). But if you want anything extra you are forced to buy a package. So you're paying for crap you don't want. Just my 2 cents.

Funny you mention wondering why there's no Hellcat Rebel yet. Chrysler just announced a few days ago that the Ram Rebel TRX Hellcat is coming to mass production in May of 2022 with some revisions from the concept. Click "Read More" for the mini book of details. It will have an 8 speed auto, dynamic stability control and all wheel drive, which uses electronic locking front and rear differentials and a viscous coupling in the transfer case designed to split torque 40/60% bias without anything locking solid causing binding or lack of stability or steering. Part time and low range will have the front/rear/center diff lock activated automatically, with an override function where pressing the button that corresponds to the diff(s) you don't want activated, they will revert to viscous coupling mode and/or unlock so you don't experience binding or loss of steering ability on tight turns off road. It will have all of the fully loaded Laramie luxury group features, all of the Rebel's performance and off road features, and it will also sit 3 inches higher than the current Rebel with 4 inches more suspension travel both upward and downward over the current suspension with a 6 inch wider track for better articulation off road and handling characteristics on road. Last and most importantly in my opinion, it will have 4 on-the-fly tuning modes for race/off road/towing/economy to utilize the most of the power, suspension and drivetrain it features to optimize performance for those 4 driving types in the areas and ways it's needed, with the best fuel economy possible from a 707HP V8. You can read more about it on C&D or other news outlets, this is just what I perceived most important.
