There is no argument the RAM has the most luxurious trim package in the truck market.

[@superset5]

widening roads doesn't make traffic go away.

[@nateisright]

Correct! Volume AND speed increase. The design term for this phenomenon is “induced demand”.

[@FullsendOffroad]

That is extremely inspiring

[@seattleprowash5464]

nah houston has zero traffic now that they have 16 lane highways 😝

Insane Hurricane Ben !! ❤❤

[@kenthughes4680]

Last weekend I returned to the Rexburg area from Am Fork and average over 22mph with my '22 Ram 1500 Hemi eTorque. Just driving the speed limit. No A/C and cruise.

[@mrshopjulius5840]

The 2025 Ram 1500 Tradesman HFE has the Hurricane engine LED headlights adaptive cruise for only $38k it’s the best value in the Ram Lineup

[@piotrk1047]

... so the theory is sound and I'm all for it but I have yet to seen something that comes close to that range in that class ...

[@andrewpaul3235]

Where are you seeing this? The HFE starts at 41k, and that's with the 3.6 pentastar,quad cab configuration, and 2wd. The 4wd hurricane model would be well above 46-47k

[@mrshopjulius5840]

My dealer gave me one for $38k two wheel drive hurricane

[@andrewpaul3235]

@mrshopjulius5840 Then they gave you a deal/rebates (good for them!). If you price one out, you can't touch it for 38k without discounts and incentives..

[@PeakDecline]

@@andrewpaul3235 My Ram dealer is discounting even 2025s. MSRP is meaningless on trucks again bar very hot items like a Raptor.

[@johngarner9929]

Checked one out - my dislike is the throttle response from stock is not linear, with that said, there are simple performance tunes to fix that. Other than that I will wait a couple of years before buying the night edition big horn.

[@Maverick13233]

Great review! Can you review a quad cab by chance? Thanks!

[@Johnny-Cage]

Is there a loud exhaust option like the active exhaust GM provides? Or will you have to go after market

[@waynelion-cachet35]

I see you can option air suspension on the Rebel? Even smoother ride.

That’s the expensive stuff.

[@mr.dannielchandler3774]

Hey Ben! I like the review. I would like to see reviews on the Ford F-150 & 250 Shelby Baja, the Ford Bronco Raptor, the Ford Ranger Raptor, and the Ford F-150 Raptor R and how they differ and compare. I look forward to seeing and hearing more about the Ram Rebel! Have a terrific day!

[@BenHardyCars]

I’ve posted reviews on those

[@KenMcCune-wb3jp]

Ram should keep on putting the hurricane in there's trucks. The hurricane engine sounds perfect If I going to buy a ram pickup it got to have a hurricane engine

[@minusx31]

Ben when giving reviews can you please mention the fuel type…the #1 reason for me avoiding a hemi engine is because they recommend mid grade for best results…gas prices matter when buying a vehicle to some…

[@jackiehardy8192]

I'm on my 3rd ram wirh Hemi,I have burned only regular and never had an issue.

It's another small engine with two turbo chargers slapped on. put dual turbo chargers on a hemi and you would spin the wheels off the thing. it's just more EPA garbage.

[@mminniear984]

What’s the point of changing engines? I’ve heard of no serious positives in doing so. Is there a significant decrease in emissions? 2 cylinders, I doubt it. Mpg is much different and I’m sure Towing and reliability are going to be affected. Why change what works.

[@accretioncleansing]

Did they ever fix the AC

They are all over Phoenix Arizona with no problems. Mexico as well.

[@turnerruma5977]

RAM and GM are the king. Ford is the worst.

[@FullsendOffroad]

Personally I don't hate ram trucks. And you're right, hurricane has had less problems than toyota's TTV6 (I'm a Toyota guy and ashamed of them for that) but 2021 was by far the most unreliable year for Ram 1500, having more electrical issues than any other year. And Rams have had frames snap in half. And you can't convince me that an electronic dial shifter makes you feel like you're in a Truck.

[@johnnyfreeman1018]

​@@FullsendOffroad......Well said 👍

​@@FullsendOffroadThe dial is efficient and faster+technological people abuse Rams. The job sites are covered with them. Ram built North America.

@@BloodAlwaysFindsItsLevel tech is another thing to break. Wherever I go it's always fords doing the jobs. One company near me still uses an OBS ford dually as a work truck. Sometimes GM too. I only see ram trucks as car haulers.

Other than sound, the new hurricane is better in every way. It's just people who aren't open to change.

[@FullsendOffroad]

@@andrewpaul3235 people who buy trucks want a truck. They want something that does the job. This has less towing and payload capacities than the old engine. They make the same mpg's. No one who owns a truck cares about 0-60. It's more powerful but people want reliable trucks. This we don't know if it will be reliable. But think. Ford's first ecoboosts kept blowing up. New tundras are blowing up. People using trucks want V8's.

[@andrewpaul3235]

@FullsendOffroad this is actually 100% not true. 60-70% of people who buy trucks today never tow with it. They are becoming everyday vehicles. Second, the real-world MPG is quite different between these two engine platforms. 3rd, payload didn't go down because of the engine, it went down because of the smoother ride quality and they prioritized that over payload because people are buying trucks for everyday vehicles. The trademan packages have better payload. Just face it, you're an "old," grumpy man who hates change. Ford made this change over a decade ago, and their sales have gone way up. You just aren't facing the facts.

[@FullsendOffroad]

@@andrewpaul3235 possibly, and I guess you're right that people don't use their trucks right anymore. But now Ford is really the only manufacturer that gives you what everyone wants. You can have either the V6, the V8, you can have a luxury pavwment princess, work truck, baja truck, or anything. This isn't the case anymore with brands like Toyota and Ram. And I can't see an MPG difference. It's only 1-2mpg of a difference at maximum. And the 6 cylinder will struggle way more than the V8 in towing heavy loads. At least put it as a damn option like Ford does. When Toyota made the switch to the V6 in the Tundra the mpg only went up about 2mpg, but the engines are blowing up and absolutely nobody is happy with the new engines. Owners say that it pumps nice power but other than that it sucks. Everyone says the truck doesn't drive like the old one. I don't know many anyone who likes the new Tundra's quality control and engine. People buying Tundras wanted the simplicity and longevity of the old generation. Plus I can't remember the last time a 5th gen ram needed better ride quality. They already ride like cadillacs. And if you really are looking for ride quality, get an escalade or suburban with independent rear suspension. That will ride better than a pickup and is also more practical. Americans have lost common sense.
