Toyota broke the cardinal rule, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

[@spinedoc893]

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.

[@JDR8]

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.

[@spinedoc893]

@@JDR8 Well there's the issue, the smaller turbo motors don't even get better MPG at least not in real world use. They claim to have less emissions and maybe they do but if you burn the same amount or more fuel to goa given distance how much less emissions can you have?? And no one talks about the environmental impact of the production and disposal of EV's and their batteries. No to mention over 60% of electricity in the USA is derived from fossil fuels

[@JDR8]

@@spinedoc893 Yep, total scam costing everyone. The liberals pushing these agendas and electric cars also seem to ignore the fact that eventually much of the population will no longer be able to afford to have their own vehicle. You used to be able to buy a 12 year old F150 with 125k miles for 6k, maintain it yourself and drive it for another 125k. Now, you have to buy a used Tesla for 20k with batteries that are dead and you need to replace them for 25k. Total lunacy.

Can you comment if you do a lot of towing? I’ve heard it struggles with power/fuel economy

[@sentiencepsn2714]

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.

[@JosephFittipaldi]

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.

[@jimonqa]

I have a 2021 RAM 1500 now and had a 2004 RAM 1500 before that (both Hemi's). Both have been very reliable. I like their appearance, so purchased extended warranties thinking they'd have issues.

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...

[@mojorizn72]

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.

[@martygaringer4999]

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.

[@mojorizn72]

@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.

[@slmjake]

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.

[@Flathead40]

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.

[@MN_Angler39]

My 2020 Warlock has been rock solid. No issues, recalls, nothing. Meanwhile, my dad had his lifters replaced on his 2023 Silverado at 10,000 miles...

[@darthenx2585]

I have a 2022 Ram Rebel 1500 that I already have 72k miles on. I havent had any problems other than the transmission still sometimes still hammers. 😅

[@Kay-4JK]

Might want to service the transmission filter pan and oil.

[@davepeters271]

It’s amazing how brand loyal people are. I grew up driving Ford in 2003 when they came up with a hemi. I started driving ram trucks the best thing I ever did. They are the most comfortable amazing durable, amazing interiors and my trucks I use them day in and day out. I pull trailers with them. I drag race with them incredibly reliable Virtually no issues at all so Each their own

[@reaality3860]

Ram 1500 is a reliable, well made, rock solid, pickup truck. The only lemons, are the ones I pay for.

[@dwightrider5713]

I have a 2023 Toyota Tundra and I have had no issues so far with 13K miles. I did buy a 150K mile extended warranty due to all of the electronic gadgets. I am not worried about the engine recall as I know Toyota will stand behind it. So far mine is not part of the recall. What is the worst that could happen I get a new engine?

[@ryanr6240]

I know 3 different people who had to replace the transmission on their 6 cylinder 10 speed Expeditions. I have an 8 cylinder F150 that hasn't had any issues, but it's only at 28k miles.

[@Dusdaddy]

Hard to argue with data from so much input. When you think about it, how could anyone individual be able to say different? Their personal experience is one out of hundreds of thousands. Just because you didn't have a problem with Yugo doesn't make it a reliable brand.

[@larryjordan7460]

I have a 23 Tundra Platinum. So far it’s been awesome, I pull a 33 ft travel trailer with it, no problems. From everything I’ve read and heard only about 1% are having problems. Mine is not in the recall yet, time will tell.

[@ThomasMackay-i8h]

I have a 2014 F150 5.0 that I bought new. Zero problems.

[@Expedition18]

Would love to see a video on how or what best used truck to buy. Like 3 year old 5 year old how many miles recalls done ........

[@matthewholzmueller6292]

I would think building long lasting reliable trucks would be good. It makes the used market strong, thus keeps the new truck market strong. People and companies, municipalities government always need new trucks

[@garysarratt1]

I don’t think the OEM’s care about the used market anymore. Just more power, more tech, gotta keep up bc the awesome truck they advertised and sold to you last year makes you look like a peasant this year, so better trade now for that extra 7hp and different grille.

Thanks for video of Dodge dealer in Lake Charles. This will my place when I buy

[@garyjarvis2730]

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.

[@killerb5726]

Bought a 24 Titan sv in March. I wanted the Tundra but price and being Leary of reliability kept me away. And that was before the engine announcement. 10k miles and no issues so far. A lot more miles to go so fingers crossed.

[@user-sp8ps5zp6d]

2019 F250 up to 100k miles zero issues, 2023 F150 only 30k miles so far and zero issues.

power boost is on my look buy list not sure 2.7 or 3.5 ,same here 2013 5.7 ram 100k miles and 2019 Tacoma 12k miles like them both both

[@tinshield]

Ram is doing well because they have limited engine choices and they aren’t redesigning their trucks constantly. It’s the same model Toyota has used for a long time.

[@fishbike2356]

That’s the truck you should get this year for the last year Nissan Titan

[@musclesmouse]

I just did. $15K in Pro4X discounts make it dirt cheap compared to all competitors. MSRP of equivalent Tundra for my Titan was $75K. I got it for $44K+ TTL and 1 dealer markup. And trump card was V8 vs turbo V6

[@moparman1072]

Nissans are cheap for many reasons.

[@ryanr6240]

Problem with RAM on top is they've just switched from the Hemi to the 6 cylinder turbo. Time will tell.

I'll NEVER own another v6 turbo truck. Titan naturally aspirated V8 for the win!

At the risk of jinxing myself, my two Rams (2018 and 2020) have been flawless.

[@kenma8806]

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

[@ramlin35]

What kind of rims are we talking about?? Specifically which engine options and what years? I just visited my high school friend who's been driving a 2010 ram pickup and he says it's the most reliable truck he's ever had.

[@m_m_m_beer8917]

Yeah. I think that new Hurricane powertrain is going to mess with this result for Ram in the coming years. They should have left it alone.

[@ramonabigelow8860]

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.

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

I’m just thinking about a 3500 Santa Cruz now. Damn you!
