Looks like RAM is about to follow the same path. I drove a new Hurricane I6 and its a beautiful engine but everyone seems to have serious growing pains when they switch to twin turbo 6 cyl engines. The hurricane has been around in Jeep Wagoneer for couple years but that's such a low production vehicle its hard to judge reliability. Toyota went right from a reliable (yet gas guzzling) V8 directly to the new twin turbo V6 and are having HUGE issues. Ford at least retained their V8 option when they brought in the ecoboost. Now RAM is also going directly to the I6 and no V8 option for 2025. I get that they are after lower emissions but these turbo engines don't get any better MPG unless you absolutely baby them and if you don't they get worse MPG then most V8 trucks. These new engines cost more are more complicated and more expensive to fix and do not get better MPG. Aside from towing at altitude I don't see an advantage to the turbos.
@JDR82 ай бұрын
Progressive politicians made Toyota break the rule. Why have a simple, tried and trusted V8 when you can have a .02L quad turbo at 100PSI and save 1.1 MPG? You can always get an electric that will tow a toy boat for 20 miles. Green policies at their finest.

@@JDR8 Well there's the issue, the smaller turbo motors don't even get better MPG at least not in real world use.

This is really more a reflection of platform maturity (Ram, Titan). Which makes sense. Never buy first year models, and older models tend to have the most kinks worked out. Factoring infotainment as part of reliability is unfair to manufacturers, as it inherently penalizes newer models. The newer the model, the more likely it is to have more functions integrated into the infotainment. As well as more screens, touch controls, and other electronics to break.
@JosephFittipaldi5 күн бұрын
Most people would never miss half those infotainment features if they didn't know they existed. Bottom line (to automakers): If you can't make proven software that works under all nominal conditions (i.e. via verification testing) then don't sell it. And DO NOT simply use your customer base to beta test your crappy code. It's unethical.

I recently bought a used 21 Titan sv. It’s a 5.6 and it’s awesome! I have had a few issues, but all were covered by that amazing warranty. It’s sad the Titan is going away, and I hope they bring it back eventually. Every truck has their own issues. Most common I’ve experienced and hear about the titans is the fan clutch. It’s a crap design. Love it regardless and plan on keeping it till it falls apart

I had a 2004 Ram 1500 with hemi. Got it cheap in 2007 with 50K miles when gas was at 5 bucks a gallon. Sat on lot for months people weren't buying. I didn't keep up with body rust issues but it was going strong at 275K miles when I gave it away to young dude in 2018. Then bought new Ram with the 3.6vvt in 2018 for just under 30, thousand dollars with rebates. Got 160K miles on it. Just like my 3rd gen I had to replace the front wheel bearings at 125K miles. I can do that with my eyes close now. 🤣 Other than that no issues. I've been very happy of their bad reputation in the past, it helped me get good deals on them. Ram has been very, very good to me.

I think it should put to bed the worries with Ram. JDP and CR have completely different methodologies for capturing quality and reliability from owners, yet both surveys have it on top. True enough, the Hurricane is new and we don't have adequate data to assess yet, but many of the other mechanics and hardware carryover. One thing I love is the 2019-current interiors not only looks advanced, but hold up very well. It really is a sad fall from grace for Toyota. Cutting corners, shoddy build quality, and problematic engines is something one would never associate with the brand. But here we are...

Just bought the 24 Titan. I've owned all of them except the Tundra. Just got out of a 13 F150 ecobitch. That turbo v6 was the main reason i didn't go toyota, along with that overbloated pricetag. The new tundras have turbo 6s. NEVER AGAIN! Dodge and Chevy have screwed me too. The Titan is the only naturally aspirated V8 left that doesnt have shutdown bullshit. Add the 5yr 100k mile bumper to bumper and the much lower cost WITH 0% financing, it was a no-brainer! I love this truck.

Just bought a new 24 Titan SV 4X4 also. Stole it. Lol. Was looking at 21 model Tundra's with the V8 and got this new 24 for less than a comparably equipped 21 Tundra with 25K miles would have cost. Very happy with truck.
@mojorizn72Ай бұрын
@martygaringer4999 Stole mine too. Got $15k OFF sticker. It's still early on, but the only problem with the truck, is that Nissan succumbed to government pressure to get max mpg, and to do so, used tranny fluid that is too thin. Now that it's colder here in Michigan, I'm getting hard shifts until the trans fluid warms up. I'm swapping it out in the spring for a thicker fluid. Also, as soon as you can, disconnect the "smart charger" from the battery, or you will kill the battery prematurely. It's the connector that's on the negative terminal on the battery.

Tim thanks for the video! For many many years my friends said their Tacomas were more reliable than my 04 Ford Ranger. Now after replacing rotted frames and many other components they envy the reliability I have enjoyed with this truck. Consumer Reports has a bias like the political polling. It's who they send their stuff to and who provides them feedback. The data gets skewed because people who have issues will send in feedback, especially folks who like to complain.

The Powerboost had some gremlins in 2021 and early 2022. But the late 22 and up seem to be much better. Also in late 2022 Ford fixed a major problem with the 10 speeds by fixing an issue in the CDF drum. I own 2 23’s with the 10 speed and they are great and much better than my 18 F-150. GM lifter issue was bad in 21 and also affected 6.2s my buddy had his go at 8k miles.

Following the old adage, "If it's not broken, don't fix it" would have saved many manufacturers from all this grief. Big trucks are no longer work vehicles. They have morphed into luxury cars and have price tags to prove it. They've become so complicated even the dealers can't fix them. That is not a model upgrade in any way, shape, or form. In the off road segment it's even more lopsided. Who is going to take an 85K truck off the road and into the weeds. All these vehicles ever see is the mall parking lot.

2018 I bought a RAM 1500 Big Horn.. BEAUTIFUL Truck, lots of fancy things.. 6 cyl was perfect for me.. BIG MISTAKE... The module for the trans was an issue, the torque converter had issue and kept causing surging..It felt like I was pulling a full smooth bore trailer full of product.. Dodge wouldn't do a thing for it.. they said it was "normal".. CAM position sensors.. FML, were constant issues, going 70 on the interstate.. the truck would de-rate, i would have to pull to the shoulder of the road quickly, turn the truck off wait a few minutes and turn it back on, it and would be good for a week or two before it would do it again.. the sensors were 99 bucks... easy to replace, but it kept having issues with them.. I got rid of it in 2019, bought a 2015 Chevy Traverse, and that had even more issues.. sigh.. Then just bought a 2007 Hummer H3.. that kept me solid.. I know those inside and out, I had a few.. that was very reliable.. never left me on the side of the road

My Hyundai Santa Cruz 3500 has been super reliable. I tow a 33 foot toy hauler and a 20 foot boat in tandem and have had no issues. Obviously kidding, but I'll bet the Santa Cruz, Ridgeline would top any consumer report list, but guess what...they never work hard. My point is some of these people using F150's, RAM's, Tundra's, Silverado 1500's really need to be using 2500 and 3500 series trucks for what they are doing. Let me haul my 10,000lbs travel trailer up a mountain trying to maintain 75 mph in my F150. I'm sure some of these early engine failures are due to operator error, or just pushing your vehicle beyond it's limits.
