Toyota tundra is the ugliest truck on the road with a semi grill

[@cwqrpportable]

I agree! Tundra is for nervous nellies who worry about EVERYTHING under the sun at the expense of having real fun and owning a beautiful vehicle.

[@DarthNero]

Aside the front grill, the truck is actually good looking from the side & the rear. At least Toyota along with Chevy fully redesigned their truck unlike Ford & Ram still using face lifted version of a decade old outdated design.

[@us1fedvet]

This isn’t about Toyota

[@dannyellrich5827]

The entire truck is fugly

[@SliderFury1]

​​​​​@@DarthNeroyou're kinda mixing up half-tons and HD though. Ram and GM fully redesigned their half tons in 2019, so that's ahead of Ford (2015), but Ford was ahead of both Ram and GM with their HDs until GM in 2024. They're still ahead of Ram. The 2017 Super Duty was essentially a complete redesign (from the 2011) and their refreshes since then have been more significant than Ram's and GMs (again, until GM this year). Ram hasn't fully redesigned their HD since 2009. Basically, GM is better with redesigns but Ford is better with refreshes. Ram had a couple of REALLY good redesigns and refreshes but are now lagging behind both hard. Toyota did basically nothing with the Tundra for ages because they didn't need to, and then when they did finally completely redesign it, it's terrible.

[@ruben3305]

6:15 one can make the argument that it’s not about the new engine but that they’re just expensive and nobody wants to buy them. Now dealers are overstocked and have a hard time pushing them vehicles out the door. At the same time, Stalantis is laying off factory workers. Coincidence? I think not.

I was at their sterling heights assembly plant for the re-tool a few months back. They just set up for the new Rev model

[@johnmuir2960]

The real question should be, "Will Ram still be sold in America in 2025?" Will Stelantis leave America?

[@jacobszymczak9323]

The 2025 Rams seemed to be on sale for $5-10k off as soon as they hit the lot. This makes it seem like the price was inflated just so they could put it "on sale" to try to get people to buy it, but it was probably just discounted to what should have been the MSRP

[@karlgottschalk6108]

2013 I purchased a new 1500 laramie longhorn for $55k. That same truck today is $75k+. 40% increase in price. Absolutely crazy.....

[@johnlocke_1]

Inflation increased by 35% since 2013. $55,000 is $74,300 in today's money.

At my local Costco they had a Brand new Jeep wrangler with $18,000 off the MSRP it’s just insane what is happening with Stallantis.

Wow! Looks exactly the same as the one before it. Ram: let’s just keep the same body style and just tell people we changed it. They will Never notice. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@MooseModePXL]

I agree the prices are out of control. I’ve always had Ram work trucks and a whenever HD Ram for myself. I just ordered my first Ford work truck. A mid level STX 4x4 with a 5.0 and we LOVE it.. already planing more.

[@macgyver03ga]

Well when you build junk automobiles for decades, eventually you continue to lose buyers because they don’t wanna buy a vehicle that spends its life constantly broken. I have quite a few buddies who bought a Ram and WILL NOT be buying another one because of the reliability issues. Another thing is interest rates being higher. Ram and Stellantis in general tends to finance more “sub-prime” borrowers compared to other brands. My best friend’s brother-in-law is the GM at a very large CDJ dealer in a major southeast city and has been in the car business for 30 years. That’s coming straight from his mouth, he can’t get them financing anymore, even with 8 year notes. Couple that with how high prices have gotten, the buyers just can’t afford them.

[@cwqrpportable]

Gotta love Ford, Ram and GM trucks. Trucks with a heart and soul. This new RHO looks great....... looking forward to Tim's experience owning it and maybe owning one myself soon.

[@MrBigA94]

You guys are going to easy on the horrible company that owns Ram! I've owned three Rams, and I absolutely loved the brand. Cheaper parts to save a dollar, recalls through the roof right along with the ridiculous price increase on a now more inferior product. Ford and GM arent any better......more money for inferior products on all sides.

[@firstlast---]

Prices skyrocketed and wages largely stayed the same. Then they wonder why no ones buying 😒

[@greggpapernik5230]

Stellantis has/is ruining Ram and Jeep. They truly don't understand The American market or their customers. Stellantis and Tevares need to go.

[@rd4660]

I'm keeping my 2008 GMC Sierra 4x4 with the L76 aluminum 6 liter motor. A strong runner and great styling. Bought it for $29,000 fully loaded in 2010.

[@jeffwatson8862]

Unless they eliminate the camshaft eating MDS multi displacement system on the 6.4, i will never consider one. Not needed or desired on HD truck. Kudos to Ford on the 7.3 gasser. Multiport as well. Still waiting for Ford quality and waiting. I drive a 2000 Ram 2500 with 5.9 cummins. 240k. Garage kept and not a daily driver. Arizona so no rust. Turns heads and I ger offers in parking lots frequently. Not for sale. Also have 96 Toyota T100 with bullet proof 3.4 5VZ engine Sr5 4x4 205k. People stop in street in front of my garage when they see it and make offers. Also not for sale. No payments for almost 20 years. Truck makers can shove their 100k trucks where the sun don't shine.

[@leonardnimoy3442]

Wise man

[@JeffBrauss]

@@jeffwatson8862 the column knob shifter does not belong in an hd truck. Yes, you get used to it, but the fact it’s one of the most surveyed complaints from recent owners, tells you how out of touch the engineers are.

[@eanonmcmickle2162]

Maybe it's just me but that picture of that Ram reminds me of a second gen modernized and I really like it imo

[@pryme2013]

Hemi is synonymous with Ram. I wouldn’t be surprised if they lose more than 2% due to dropping their V8. People don’t care solely about power figures!! Just as they didn’t care solely about fast acceleration in reference to no one wanting electric trucks. A V8 has soul.

[@erictate8986]

The Fast Lane Truck guys keep up the great work !!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪👍👍👍

[@AbnEngrDan]

The Hurricane straight six is more powerful, true. But it only achieves this at the top end of the power band. With two turbos. Which means it cannot take the long term strain that a diesel can. If you're running to Lowe's around town getting supplies, I'm sure it's great. I pull a 14k lb fifth wheel. It's of no use to me.

[@davehilling3944]

definitely a concern running an engine flat out to get the power is anything but ideal. I had a 5.7, 6.4 2500 and a 6.0 F250 and as you would expect the diesel towed best, the 6.4 was actually pretty good I would have kept it (divorce) and then the 5.7 screamed up every mountain. It could do it but only running high rpms.

[@hoekjason]

Hi guys, great work updating us! Just some feedback on the videography - the "scrambled" cuts are a bit distracting and dizzying. Not sure if others feel the same, but they're overused in this video. Thanks for considering!

[@secondamendment8773]

The future of electric trucks is a hybrid. Pure electric is diametrically opposed to the purpose of a truck.

[@Tylnorton]

For real. And as much as the Ram REV sounds great on paper as it's got a V6 motor that's a generator, I still prefer an actual hybrid.

[@Mudflap1974]

I bought a 2025 1500 Bighorn 4x4 a few weeks ago for $13,000 off the rip-off 54k MSRP. Opted for the old V6 since I have no trust in the Hurricane for reliability, and the only Hemi's laying around were 65k-80+ MSRP and far beyond what I was willing to pay. The Pentastar is likely to be reliable at least. I like it, rides great and is real quiet going down the road. The power is adequate for daily driving, but I do wish it had a lot more. I don't have anything to tow other than a small motorcycle trailer here and there.

[@vlsgmc]

"The hurricane is a great engine." On paper? Debatable. It has yet to prove itself, and you shouldn't be proclaiming it "great." Sounds like you're trying to sell it.

[@davehilling3944]

I think thats the issue with any new engine we have seen all the tundra issues with their new one, and then the early ecoboost issues, people want reliability and the last 8 years at least have proven that really none of them are anymore it is all a crap shoot between the transmissions and the move to turbo less cylinder engines.

[@drewcoffey1299]

When I picked up my Ram 1500 Limited in 2019 they had blown everyone away. Good looks, interior crushed anyone else. Loved that truck and held onto it waiting and waiting for a Ram 2500 I needed to tow. Never came. Nothing changed. Ended up in a 24 AT4, which looks great, rides well and will tow a house...but is an absolute joke in terms of tech, integration, driver interface, etc. Freaking Google truck with android 10 os that isn't even supported anymore. Right now, all the big 3 suck to be honest. Especially considering the price. Section 179 tax deduction supports probably 50% or more of the HD market. Basically, 60 cents on the dollar.

Dropping the HEMI is a big deal. It’s what many of us loved most about our RAMs. It’s not just the old school guys either… I’m 26, have had 3 RAMs and my 2023 Laramie will be my last one due to losing the V8 option.

[@AbnEngrDan]

It's almost as if Stellantis is going this on purpose. Why? When you go against what your market demands, knowingly, it looks like as if you're doing with a purpose. What the purpose is, we can only guess. Mine would be that they are trying to get rid of Dodge.

[@AirRyanTX]

As a MY23 Ram 2500 Rebel HD owner, that new grill is certainly a "what the heck!". Looking forward to see what the do with the Cummins. Quick search here in Central Texas and I found a $71k MSRP MY25 Ram 1500 Rebel for $19,254 off at $52,016. Flame red and no chrome!

[@creigmacc]

That's the MineCraft Pig edition. Gonna be a huge seller in 30 years.

[@GvonX]

Stellantis marketing team has to be 3 guys from India. All their cars that are supposed to be new and get market share from other brands... no one knows about. The Hornet had a swarm commercial and nothing else. The Charger had the Daytona make weird speaker noises and then a weird dystopian CGI video and nothing else. The new Electric Wagoneer no one knows about it, and they named it after the the new brand that already has two models that people cant differentiate between... literally makes no sense.

What the heck started when they got rid of the real 4WD stick on the floor. Then plastic tranny pans. Then no V-8 and no oil dipstick. They really have the wrong people making design decisions. Ram guys like their trucks to have a truck feel and truck robustness. Round knob 4WD shifters and plastic stuff down low make me want to puke.

[@Lq32332]

All the manufacturers have moved away from 4wd being a stick… Why in the world would you waste space like that? The stick telling the computer to shift /switch into 4wd is somehow better than a button or dial telling the computer shift?! 😂

I’m from Europe but love watching TFL and following truck and offroading scenes in US. Makes no sense 😂! Anyhow, my take on Ram: great brand which seems to know what they’re doing but seems to be mishandled badly by Stellantis with little investment and R&D I believe…you guys mentioned Ford and everything they did-trims, engines, updates, electric truck, feature updates…it feels Stellantis historically milked the brand but without giving it back!

[@ThaDonDeFashion]

The absence of the 5.7 Hemi note, the large RAM logo on the tailgate, the muted and rounded grill, and the mediocre rear tail lights are all reasons I’m not a fan of the new RAM trucks. I’m content with my ’21 RAM Limited 5.7 Hemi Naturally Aspirated V8 American Muscle.

[@gravedig1990]

Yall say the fuel economy for the hemi was bad but I consistently averaged 20mpg in my 2017 ram 1500 2wd. The same in my 19 f150 5.0. Im sure the 3.0 will be more of the same.

Power Wagon was the first 4x4 pick up. First offered to the public. Dodge was the first military vehicle from horse back and provided the military 4x4 trucks since 1934. Before willys Before jeep.

2:35 Can't hear these advertisements anymore. *The insurance company is in there for the money,* or are they a charity organization? These new trucks/cars break down, and when they do it's usually big $$$, yes. With the insurance company being in there to make money, either their premiums must be high, OR their fine-print is so bad (for the customer), that the premiums seems low, but in case of a claim, the payments are bad.

[@Woolsocks]

Generally they only pay msrp for parts, and they pay the shop what they’re willing to pay for labor per hour. And unless the dealer or shop sold you the warranty they normally don’t back down in the cost of parts and labor for a warranty company, leaving the customer to pay the difference, normally $20-$100 difference per hour and the difference of the parts cost. So if a dealer is charging $3200 for a head gasket, the customer might have to foot to bill for $800-$1000 of the repair
