[@jermainessmith9440]

I think u should've kept the white ram truck Randy 😮

[@heartofdixie67]

He has to swap vehicles because he needs the tax credits

[@rileyproctor5907]

I’m glad you’re putting out that video, my 2025 Ram 1500 Rebel is having the same engine issue, except I’m fighting the dealer to replace the truck. Mine has 1,200 miles, the issue is coolant is mixing with oil causing issues. I’m tempted to buy a 2024 Hemi 1500

[@jesusramos-my2qr]

Just check the cams on those and they're solid

[@lovellmills7959]

They are junk

[@ronsautojax]

Well here's a idea. Before you purchase your next truck go rent 2 or 3 options for couple days each. Might help you make a better choice.

[@eostrike]

The better choice would be to keep the cars a lot longer than a couple years. Who cares about the write off for your personal vehicle as you will always be in debt.

[@bonezb1192]

becuase he has more money than brains. These moderm RAM trucks are junk and hes finding this out the hard way

[@MiguelCastro-d2e]

@bonezb1192 must of new pick ups and cars with lots of sensors are

[@postersm7141]

Exactly

[@JerryEggleton-k9q]

You need a rollback for all your needs?

[@TMX0013]

My dad once owned a Dodge truck and after three or four years a big crack that formed on the dashboard. When he went to the dealership to complain, they basically told him “well it’s a Dodge what do you expect?” Yikes! Thanks for all you do, Randy!

[@AllenKranawettrr]

Oh crap

[@micahhill4786]

😂😂😂 making it sound like it was made from ebay

[@B0xlife1]

"it's a Dodge". What would the company heads would have to say about that answer? To me that answer means basically so you're telling me that your vehicles quality is a joke right?

[@silvergeoff568]

Cracked dashes are not exclusive to Ram. My 2008 GMC Sierra had a cracked dash too. It was a known issue that just happened over time that GM did nothing about.

[@stanley8574]

That was one of the cracked dashboard on a few Chevy vehicles that cause me to switch to ford trucks. So far no cracks in them.

[@trbstang]

Enterprise has always been good to me. I swapped vehicles 3 times when one of mine was in the process of being totaled because we were going on vacation and needed a minivan in the middle. Had a compact before and after for several days each. And when one of our cars was having engine issues out of town, they rented me a Tacoma that I used to tow the Vibe back to my house. It was a great rental that I put 2k miles on in about 5 days! And it only cost me $180! 😂 Hope your truck is fixed Randy!

[@erikkarlonas180]

Randy this why the hemi is soo much better. It’s a tried and true platform. I’ve had my 16 since 2019 and haven’t had many issues I couldn’t fix.

[@Dbdorr]

The shorter gearing (higher number). DEFINITELY makes a difference in towing. I used to tow 10k lbs with a 2000 F350 7.3 dually. The stock gearing was 3.73 and it was fine but would struggle to accelerate up steeper grades. I upgraded to 4.10s and the difference was night and day.

[@stanleygreen1527]

Ha!my 94 mazda ranger has the 3.73 with extended towing!!! beast in a small package!! Can we say floating if towin over 4K! Rotf

[@Minuteman-31650-Minot]

I’ll bet your gas mileage difference was day and night as well. Been there done that.

[@Dbdorr]

@@Minuteman-31650-Minot it did put a dent in the gas mileage but when you're towing weight all over the western states with lots of mountains, it's worth it. Probably saved the transmission too.

[@TheDiamonddust1]

Randy that big horn has the same issues your truck and all other rams have right now from the wiring to the engine !!! Until ram gets back to the hemi and fixes the hurricane engines along with all the other mess that they have like the electrical issues just stay away from a ram or go get your truck back if you can.🤠

[@davidpeters9343]

Oh dang that sucks that it broke down and u didn't get a lemon uts all of them alot of people complained about having issues with the new rams its crazy and the rental u got is pretty sweet looking. And honestly I think u should if just kept ur white ram instead trading it in for that rebel. Anyways thanks for sharing keep up the great work much love to ya randy take care god bless and I hope that u can get the rebel fixed. See ya on the next one

[@thelaidbackguy1922]

Sounds like the Rebel is a lemon..i remember waaay back you had the red Corvette issues.. either way best of luck from another car guy..💯💯

[@TexasVexes]

You must like pain, Randy. Dare I say an F150 with the coyote is the best option now most definitely.

[@ltlocus]

I've heard a lot of bad things about those new rams. I don't think yours is a lemon. I think that's just how they are

[@xscorpx]

They kill their batteries rapidly too, we have 8 stone dead 2500's on our lot that we just took delivery on 2 weeks ago fresh from the railyard. [edit] the 1500's and heavy duties since 2024 separate factories and countries of origin and still reliability issues across the board.

[@Thisappaintreal]

@@xscorpxGMC is having the same issue right now. Cars are coming back in 3 days after people buy them saying they drive to the store and the cars dead.

[@arri275555]

I worked for Enterprise as a car prep a few months after I graduated from high school. It was from 97-98. We had a shuttle service for our customers even then. I didn't leave a comment on the Blazer video, but I wanted to leave one this video because Enterprise was mentioned. We had the four-door version in our fleet. It was absolutely fun to drive, and I really liked them as well. It would be awesome to see them on the channel.

[@samersalfiti8192]

I won't be surprised if it breaks down again and again 😊

[@glenackerman214]

Kinda like a 6.2 gm or an ecoboost???

[@markjones6181]

You're knocking on a half million subscribers Randy...I've never own a vehicle with heated seats or steering wheel but I do have the lamar bck support in my 2004 Mercury Grand Marguies...,,..🔥🔥🔥❤️👍🏽💯

[@armons.355]

Too bad the white ram is gone I like that one better! Hope everything works out!!

[@christopherholloway8102]

My CDJR dealer still has loaners (for now). I’m a long time subscriber and I’m glad you’re doing the Hurricane series. I’ve stuck with naturally aspirated and I’ve wanted to know how that 3.0 would work. Hope it gets better for you.

[@mrbrock72]

The Rebel with its taller 33" LT 10 ply heavy tires is causing more of the fuel economy loss than the 3.92 gear. Plus the lift on the Rebel...

[@NathanPatterson-b8k]

Well I have a 1994 Dodge Dakota mark 3 edition I love it don't want to spend 50 thousand dollars or more on a truck I like my truck it's different

[@demri123]

That old red Silverado is better than all these new trucks hahaha fr tho

[@americanrambler4972]

The big wheels and knobby tires on the rebel make a huge difference in the ride, noise and fuel economy. Also the shorter towing gears really make an impact too. What’s great about this more basic truck is, the base trucks are also pretty darn good right out of the box. Your red Rebel has more actual heavy towing and off highway grip, but your black rental has better highway manners and fuel economy and is more affordable. When you tow, it will work harder and chew through more gas, but you will more than make up for that while not towing. There are benefits to the standard tire and gearing trucks which many enthusiasts scoff about, but are real as your discovering with this rental.

[@postersm7141]

Finally, somebody explained that there’s pros and cons, trade-off to everything! You can’t get something without giving up something. It’s called the real world.

[@postersm7141]

I also wanted to say thanks for keeping it real with your legit experience with the new truck. It will definitely help people out in the future. Hope it works out for you and I can’t wait to see the next video!

[@codyherman1241]

Dang!!! I like it for sure! Top of the morning to you Randy from East Texas!

[@imfloridano5448]

The workers at the build plant reported that the wiring harnesses are to short to stellantis. They were breaking down right off the assembly line. The Wagoneer is having the same issues. The other is the thermostat housing failing and the shortage of them

[@harriettanthony7352]

So, Randy, here is a 'fix' for your Rebel--leave it in your towns 'combat zone' with the keys in it. Problem solved

[@postersm7141]

I’ve been dealing with Enterprise for over 20 years. Whether it’s car accidents whether it’s company vehicles or even brand new warranty vehicles and Enterprise has always been amazing. You can always get a upgrade with Enterprise.

[@bigkidband911]

My 23 Larime (hemi) had a few electrical bugs when I got it but have since been ironed out. I love the truck.

[@liltree2007]

I agree with you 100% on some of the drivers in oklahoma. Im in Tulsa and its the same way and as far as the roads....im just gonna leave that the way it is 😂

[@1crustyoldmsgtretired870]

It's fun watching you drive past my old workplace (Tinker). I see the freeway is STILL under construction after being gone 3 years. Adaptive cruise control is "da bomb" - I'll never get another car without it. I know exactly why you bought the Rebel... You can't resist a red car or truck. Looking forward to seeing the video about what happened with your new truck.

[@JessHarperTech]

These issues aren’t just with the Hurricanes. I have a 2025 Ram with the Pentastar and it’s been in the shop for a month of the 6 months I’ve had it. Every loaner they gave me has had the same issues mines in the shop for. They just dropped the ball hard on these I feel.

[@BF-qt2wp]

Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there.

[@SuperUbuntudude]

This is also going to break down just a matter of time!

[@armandoarmenta1942]

The times my brothers F-150 has been in the shop they send him to hertz but they never gave him a truck it was once a fusion and then a edge.

[@chaddooley5918]

I was looking at jeep with the hurricane motor and I ask My friend that works at a Dodge dealership he told me to run away from that motor He said that hurricane motor is going to be full of problems. They have already had a lot of trucks and SUV’s come in with manifold boost pressure codes, random cylinder misfire,cam correlation codes. That’s just the codes he mentioned. He said there was all kind of problems and that you’ll be lucky if that motor hits 100,000 miles. But I don’t own one so I honestly don’t know that’s just what I was told by a friend that works at a Dodge dealership.

[@kylechellino2579]

So is this a rental truck until yours gets fixed or did they just completely replace it.

[@danielthecaraddict6389]

I’ve been considering getting the new ram and trading in my 2020 Laramie with 136k miles but after seeing everyone’s reviews and experiences with the new SST I may just stick with ole reliable

[@armons.355]

I would buy an old and reliable truck and not make payments on anything 🤣

[@cornellmukes95]

I would of kept the white truck for sure.

[@briandonald]

The best I’ve seen with my Ram 1500 Laramie, 5.7 Hemi 4X4 is 21 MPG highway with 3.92 gears. I would expect the Hurricane to do better.

[@edan7813]

Probably should have kept the white limited with the 5.7 hemi

[@jgill1175]

This right here. I’ll be keeping my Hemi’s. If I were FORCED to buy a new one, it would be a F-150 5.0

[@Todd19955]

When my car was in the shop. Enterprise was good to me as well. They picked me up at the shop to pickup my rental and they drove me back when to pickup my car as well.

[@TruckCentral]

Swap the 3.21 rear end from the rental truck into yours. They’ll never notice 😂

[@Havok135]

I still think the Rebel is pretty sweet reminds me of the TRX

[@fff3136]

Good news the 5.7 is coming back!

[@autonomous6109]

3.55 is an excellent Mopar compromise gear for good response and decent fuel economy.

[@Mrgoatee-91]

You should have just kept your 2023 ram 1500 limited torque because it's probably better than your brand rebel 😂

[@xscorpx]

Doesn't make financial sense to keep the 2023 whether it was better or not.

[@stevecarder3581]

If I were you, I would buy a 2012ish Tundra with the 5.7 V8!

[@Max_ellis74]

2016-2021 I think the newer body style looks better in my opinion

[@stevecarder3581]

Just get the 5.7

[@Max_ellis74]

@ ok then tell me a nice truck. If you say ford they all suck.

[@stevecarder3581]

Search car wizard he has a to buy / not buy

[@heartofdixie67]

Enterprise will Always come out and pick you up anywhere. I only use Enterprise ! Also, rental companies don’t allow people to tow with their trucks because of insurance, they don’t have hitches installed either.

[@heartofdixie67]

I have a 2019 Bighorn with the 5.7 Hemi CrewCab 4x4 non-eTorque and paid $35.5k new back in 2019 on a $50.6k sticker because it sat for 1 year on the lot. They took $15.1k off !!! I have 40k miles on it now and it’s been excellent ! I get 18.6 mpg with the 3.21 rears 👍 Hopefully you will get your situation resolved soon 🔜

[@jgill1175]

@heartofdixie67 That’s actually not true. Just turned in a 23 Ram 1500 back to Enterprise (deer claim on my 20 1500) and it ABSOLUTELY had a factory installed hitch. Also had a 17 1500 Bighorn that was ordered/bought new by Enterprise-it also had a factory hitch🤷🏻‍♂️. While they don’t ENCOURAGE towing-like the rep told me-YOUR Ins Co is the one covering the truck, so do what you do🤷🏻‍♂️💯

[@fredtotal33]

Ram like other Dodge Jeep products have suffered from a former CEO who squeezed every penny of cost out and the result is vehicles with poor quality built with cheap parts that your eye doesn’t see but fail early. Shame

[@chadlehman3001]

I’m sorry I’d much rather sit there at the gas pump then had a charger waiting on my car to charge. I’m just very impatient.

[@PROUD_CANADIAN78]

Hey Randy nice video. Randy do you see yourself ever renting for fun a Cybertruck for the purpose of reviewing it or making content for the channel? Maybe even rent one for a family road trip. Might be good content showing your perspective on the Cybertruck compared to other Tesla vehicles you’ve owned and also compared to all the other gas trucks you’ve own.

[@anthonydelavega9]

Randy you should’ve kept the white ram

[@Zip_Zero_ZILCH]

I'm kind of surprised that one has the options that it does. I've never seen one of the Rams with the bigger screens as a rental. I bet Ram is just offloading into the fleets

[@autosavant50]

Definitely on the leather seats Randy, I rented a Ram from Enterprise and took my dog with me, his hair just wouldn’t come out of those cloth seats, got charged $100 for a cleaning fee!

[@Jon3800]

A serious question Randy. I’ve been watching your videos for YEARS now; why haven’t you invested in a tripod or a headset for your camera for the driving portions of your videos? At 13:00, I fully agree there’s a lot of idiots on the road but you shouldn’t be holding a camera while you’re driving, especially on wet/icy roads. You don’t have full control of your vehicle, and you don’t need the extra stress of having being pulled over by a cop for distracted driving. Be safe Randy

[@joshbranch6436]

I can’t wait for that Impala video 😅

[@dennislewis9400]

I think you like this truck better than rebel which is okay with me 😮

[@neilmurphy845]

I am very very impressed with the fuel efficiency of that truck for being so big and being a big petrol engine It amazes me

[@americanrambler4972]

At 0:25:03, that was a nice old red Chevy Impala with the twin noodle exhaust sticking out the back.

[@johnnyb7897]

Randy, I have 2020 RAM 1500, Hemi 5.7. About a year ago I had a code show, P306, showed to be cyl 6 misfire. Dealer updated software and solved the problem. However I let my battery rundown and had to be jumped. I guess I lost update. Mine does same thing idling for a long light or sitting. Clears up after driving. I just had 100,000 mi tuneup, new plugs but still idles rough. Your Rebel sounds like a software problem with so many codes. I'm no mechanic but with a new truck and suddenly that many codes, computer/software.

[@slagdemon]

18,6 is amazing. My 2024 Tacoma with the 2.4 turbocharged 4 cylinder gets 13..

Man my 24 silverado crew cab 4x4 gets 19.5

[@slagdemon]

@@jda72 I had a 2021 GMC AT4 with the 6.2 that would get 20-21 on the highway. This 2.4 iforce is not fuel efficient in the least. I'm an old guy, I don't drive with a lead foot and always go the speed limit, but its ridiculous. I've even checked it against the receipt to measure actual mileage and it is horrible.

If you are towing why not go with a 2500 with the 6.4L? Still has a hemi?

Interesting thing. When you are looking at those old Silverados and F150s on kopart, you always mention it is a work truck and hail damage and bad color dont really matter, as long as it works as intended. Of course you will like the more basic version of your own work truck, especially with the improved fuel economy 😂

[@P-J-W-777]

You should’ve kept your Hemi. That truck with the higher rear gears is going to tow like crap with that in-line 6 and that crap transmission. That’s why your Rebel with the lower rear gears is outfitted with the trailer brake option. We’ve had tons of Rams in the fleet and have had nothing but trans issues over 5 years of leasing them, exhaust issues and a few other mechanical issues. We moved to Ford and have only had 1 issue out of several trucks. Plus we can still get various V8 engines.

[@stanley8574]

I get 19.4 mpg in my 2013 F150 V8 crewcab.

[@garyruark9506]

I sold my 2019 loaded High Country and bought a basic Canyon. I don't miss anything about the High Country. I even like the Canyon's key start. I have an attorney friend that would have Ram buy the Rebel back in a month. Forget Lemon laws. It already meets standards for devaluation and lost use due to defects. The dealer ran out of loaners because they have so many dead Rams. Ram is paying it on dealer contract for warranty repairs. It was crazy that you bought a Ram because it's common knowledge the new ones are prone to breakdowns.

[@adrianowen6524]

Great video man hope you get the truck fixed Randy!. 👌👍

[@KRISH-uf6pk]

hi Randy, heard 'lemon law' claim for the first time... interesting man! Good show.. Your videos are so entertaining and enlightening sometimes . Well done!

[@KRISH-uf6pk]

*most of the times

[@DeepSouthTechie]

I saw a report about a week ago that RAM is discounting their trucks up to 35%. It's not because of problems but because of poor sales and dealer overstocks. Other Truck dealers like GM and Ford are having the same problems. Ford is even dropping prices on everything from truck's to the Mach E Mustangs. The past Covid price increase's are destroying vehicle sales along with the economy. Time they came back down to earth.

How many rpms at the same speed is the other? The towing axle may be overkill for you, but it may be one of those things where it is better to have the towing capacity and not need it vs not having the towing capacity and needing it.

[@jgill1175]

@joeromani9108 That 3.92 rear axle isn’t using as much fuel as people think. It’s been around FOREVER. All 3 of my 1500’s (14, 17 & 23) have the 3.92. My 14 Reg Cab Blacked Out Express Package 2wd 5.7 6spd came from the factory with the 3.21 open diff. Had the Mopar 3.92 limited slip installed by the dealer-and it didn’t really change my fuel economy. That truck from NC-TX avgs 23.5-24mpg. Both my quad cabs with 8spds are doing 21-22.

[@theuntoldtruthstupidpeople4783]

I agree with you, no sound is nice for peace for once in a while and yea people are nuts these days when it comes to driving. I just don't sweat the little things. You could try trade in for one of them from the truck you have, something to think about. New cars break before used ones in my experiences of driving for 26-27 years while driving a fair number of cars that last longer and cheaper than some.

[@killerdoggaming]

You said that truck doesn’t have heated seats or a heated steering wheel. I see the controls for them on the stereo. Yes it doesn’t have cooled seats being it’s cloth but some more upgraded bighorns have heated seats and steering wheels. I’d still never buy the hurricane trucks but some of the newer trucks are quite nice inside. Not a big fan of the updated exterior either

their are problems with most of this new ones dont matter the brand to me its is how the manufacture and the dealer handles it! my new f350 needed rearend bearings replace at 10 k repaired no fuss fix in one day doesnt mean now i hate my truck because i dont and yes i will be keeping it if more stuff breaks as long as they repair it with reasonable time. if people think you buy a new, you expect everything is always going to be perfect that would be nice but thats not how it works in the real world!

[@jgill1175]

@arlenboyer-v9v MECHANICAL breakdowns are 1 thing-and they are going to happen regardless of the manufacturer/model you buy. This isn’t mechanical-it’s ELECTRICAL. Specifically it’s the wiring harnesses that Stellantis tried to skimp out on. It’s not something that can EASILY be fixed. It would be easier/cheaper for Stellantis to just buy these trucks back-AFTER they remedy the situation on the new production.
