I Finally Tow With the New 2025 Ram 1500 (Including the Base Truck): Is It Better Than Ever?

The price of new trucks today tells me it'll be more economical to just keep my 2011 well maintained and running for as long as possible and when something does eventually give on it, it'll probably be cheaper to just replace whatever goes out at that time, be it engine or transmission or whatever.

I agree" After all it's a Truck Not a luxury Car Smh

[@getstuk87]

unfortunately the vast majority of truck owners disagree and buy these like hotcakes (hence why luxury trucks are the new standard). But don't worry, you can get the small screens on every truck still.

Dang. Just finished the vid. $83.4k for a half ton is so painful. Stop this ride I want to get off. Given these prices, I feel like I have to keep my 2020 1500 Lonestar Hemi 4x4. I paid less than half that price, got the hemi without auto start stop or e-torque, and it came with a locking rear diff. And the tradesman presented was nearly 15k more than I paid. I can't do it. Looks like the next time I'm going to need a truck, I'll be buying a 10+ year old pickup just to keep it affordable for me. The silver lining is my next truck will have less doodabs and digicals.

[@shawnriddle3018]

There's no doubt this channel has made the trucks we buy better. I owe you guys gratitude for making me aware of American Expedition Vehicles. I had never heard of them until you covered them on your channel. Loving your new rear AEV bumper on the trail hound. Truck look awesome. I own a 2015 AEV Prospector power wagon. 34,000 miles now. I commend you on all your success. I am not in the market for a new truck but suggest anyone who is to watch this channel. No one does it better than T.F.L. Thanks again.

[@youngblood23rb]

I agree that TFL is very informative, likely my top automotive channel, mainly for the personalities, but I think you mentioned something very important, Auto Journalist may have made the trucks we buy more complex and capable, and also hella expensive, unjustly so imo

[@ryanb8736]

They will sell way more once people find out it’s a simpler design engine, last 10 times longer, makes way more power, way more balanced, etc. This will blow the Hemi away. Hemi only wins on sound. Put an exhaust on these and they will sound good. A military sound.

[@matthewluyster4037]

Ike gauntlet when??? Very excited about these new rams! Hopefully you guys are buying or getting a long term loan soon

[@bigslacker666]

Jesus bro, supposedly a video about towing and it takes 20 minutes to get to the towing part which is 3 minutes long. Thumbs down. Thumbs down on the $80k price tag too, what a joke. You can get a 3/4 ton diesel for less over at the local Ford dealer. :D

[@marionreplogle1307]

Sounds like it's sick! No Hemi no buy!!!

For 80 K + I would much rather have the 3500 with a proper straight six made by Cummins. Way too much for a half ton. I would stick to the big horn or tradesmen for anything light duty.

Overpriced and unreliable Ram Crap

[@ryanb8736]

These new engines will be reliable. Simple to build and simple to work on. V8’s were too big and over complicated. N/A engines require too many moving parts to make power. That’s why valve trains always failed.

[@scottgeck9948]

Never play that engine sound again.

[@perryhenrickson7750]

Sounds terrible!! Im sorry but I just cant do it😅

[@brucemaessen2959]

You shouldn't own a truck if you have to have a cute button to help you backup. Too much money for this retired person to buy a new one. I hate to hear the fuel mileage on pulling a trailer. My guess would be the same as an aluminum truck, ten to twelve mpg at best.

[@npsit1]

I really hate how everything is being put into the digital controls.. We need physical buttons. It's bad enough people driving with cells phones in their hands. Now the manufacturers are literally forcing people to take their eyes off the road to change things that could easily just be a button or a knob.

[@gon6264]

the pen v6 is a complete trash engine, i currently have the wagonner with the hurricane so far so good. it gets up and goes and hauls my 8,000lbs 29 ft boat nicely. i love and miss the v8 but unfortunately this is reality.

The average person can’t afford this stuff and basic 1500 pickups shouldn’t cost 40-60k starting.

[@keithkornatoski9162]

RAM may have overpriced their pickups ... though it really doesn't matter what the Monroney says .. if they want to sell 'em they will have to discount 'em ... and I don' t mean $1K ... deep deep discounts ... RAM had an opportunity to corner the market with pricing but they let it get away ... saw a TRX for $125K ...nope I don't think so ...

[@JohnC-hj3dr]

Ill just say that this piece hike from ram is going to bleed into Jeep, Chrysler, and Dodge! Truth is that they are not selling many vehicles they killed a some what reliable engine with out having a new one to replace it! ( Very big mistake) i personally do not see a reason to spend 50k for a base model truck, let alone 60k for an slt!! The prices for these vehicles are have become astronomical! And of they thought they were having trouble selling trucks before , they are in for a rude Awakening! Overall it's a good looking truck but for the price you are going to pay there are other trucks that offer more at the same price!

[@steveschilling5966]

ohh the hemi boys are crying it sounds like an EcoBoost

[@TB-dj8kl]

Along with longevity concerns of these new complex and expensive vehicles is the fact you can't work on them if they break.

[@ryanb8736]

A Hemi is actually way more complex. A ton more moving parts. Another head on it for cooling. Valvetrain is more complicated. Too much stress on it too. NA engines are like that if you want 400hp. A straight 6 is easier to build and work on. It’s as simple as it gets. It’s also a lot more balanced with all cylinders inline and the secret is longer block. It makes it even more balanced. Now just add string rods, pistons, best head gasket, and simple flowing head. Add long runners with two small turbos to keep high HP and torque at low rpm. Add secondary cooling too turbos for extreme longevity. Use the latest ball bearing technology for turbos. Turbo is easiest technology today. Nothing to them. Simple recipe for longevity and power. A lot more room in engine bay for cooling too. Easy to work on too. Only one head instead of two. V8 is way more complicated.

[@gold5th]

@@ryanb8736 'cept they've added soo much tech to these, like there's 2 cooling systems, one for normal rad cooling and a lower temp system for cooling the turbo and intercooler apparently that has an electric water pump. No dip stick it has an oil level sensor and used the computer monitoring driving style to tell you when to change the oil(ya ya my '12 Ram has that bit too).. Sure some of the mechanicals are easier, the tech makes it stupid to fix.

I am waiting to try one of these Hurricane engines to compare the "feel" in everyday driving to the Ford EcoBoost 2.7 and 3.5? We all know that the Ford engines are either ECO or Boost; never both and when driving these V-6's without your foot in it, they feel like a pooch. Hoping the Hurricane isn't like that.

[@coreymorrow1315]

In all fairness, it does have a few more ponies than the ford 3.5 ecoboost but has less overall torque so will be interesting to see how they compete side by side equally equipped as possible.

[@meng6315]

More electronic more problems. Can’t wait how much they’re going to charge for service after the warranty runs out and expires.

[@seansaxon641]

They're out of touch, thinking $40k+ for an entry level full sized truck is ok. There's so many small business owners that want no-frills trucks to get to jobsites, and that market is largely ignored. Paying an extra $10-15k/truck is cost prohibitive to many growing small businesses.

They can buy a truck and depreciate it for their business. That’s the way to not get skint so bad if you have a 1099 business.
