[@ramrider1453]

Great video. I purchased a Ram Longhorn in Jan. I’m from Canada Manitoba. With our very cold weather this truck started with no issues. Not even plugged in. By far the best riding truck I ever owned. I had them all. I have 11 thousand kilometres now and so far so good. Gas mileage has dramatically improved. On the highway I got 20 miles per gallon

[@TheTaxreliever]

It's definitely the BEST RIDING truck I've ever owned and have other truck owners say the exact same thing. I'm wondering why the other makes don't mimic the interior and ride, which is what Ram has over the others at the moment.

[@ramrider1453]

Kenneth Allen so true. GMC is very very outdated in there interiors. Nice on the outside but that’s it. Ford has better interior design but Ram hit it out of the park for not that much more money.

[@MikeHanson]

Nice, got mine in Feb and now over 32,000 km and no issues. I drive a fair bit for work so the smooth ride, as far as trucks go is essential. I spent the previous 2.5 years, doing the same driving but in a 2016 Chev 2500 and I'm just glad I didn't have to have my fillings replaced. No comparison, not even close.

[@Cashe27]

Hey guys, how have your trucks been holding up if you've held on to them this long now?

[@ramrider1453]

@ for myself it has been great. Absolutely great. Had an issue with the rear window leaking. Covered under warranty. Bought in 2019 Ram Longhorn. My main reason for choosing this truck was the power train. Hemi and ZF transmission. Great power plant and over all reliable.. I do do all my maintence and always have with all my vehicles. I’m at 100,000 Kilometers now 60 thousand miles. Still low miles but still feels like the day I bought it and no other issues.

[@IanNubbit]

For the back up camera I had to do this a couple times when working at a dealer. Unscrew the plates in the tail gate, disconnect the connector for the camera, apply a small amount of dielectric grease, do the same at the connector going into the bed, this fixed every truck we had with the issue

[@fagnercorreiadarc3761]

I wish Ram would put the 6.4 in the 1500. I’m aware of the Hellcat engine rumor for the TRX but I think I’d be happy with a 6.4 powered Ram with 4wd.

[@bradc7720]

If I am not mistaking the 6.4 is only 410 hp but has more torque. Not that much difference.. but lots worse on gas mileage.

[@clarks2001]

[@HemiJB91]

clarks2001 they actually did. The reason they don’t have it as a option for the 1500, the specs isn’t any better than the 5.7l. There was a rumoured hell cat ram a few years ago announced. Not sure why they cancelled it

[@seanlabbe7281]

Brad C yeah it’s the engine in the power wagon 2500 too

[@vee6411]

@@bradc7720 Exactly, its tuned for towing not for speed. Id rather tune and mod the 5.7. Few simple tricks can extract enough power to match a 6.4. That motor is also heavier I'd assume, stupid to put in a 1500.

On your plug for your trailer, the issue can be solved simply by purchasing an adapter that goes from the 4 wire plug to the larger plug on the bottom.

He was gone for 2 days, and the sold it by the time i got back there. Their sticker was 52,000. Off road, ram boxes night edition sun roof 12 inch screen. I looked at 2021 models 76,000!

Just turned over 28,440 miles on my 2016 Ram Crew Sport. No major issues , though the 2nd time I used the windshield wipers, the wiper motor quit. Got a loaned car for the rainy weekend. I have taken several trips to Las Vegas from SoCal. I averaged between 24-26 mpg each way. I am very happy with the mileage. Added locks to my under floor compartments, tailgate snubber, running board steps and a few other items as well. I really like the new style of the RAM, but I have an incredible factory warranty that was offered for a VERY short time. So I plan on keepiong this Truck a very long time! :-)

[@Alborn30]

My mom has the same 2019 ram 1500, Appearance package lighting everything it's really nice, And our Ram came with the adapter needed to fix the issue you were having. And another nice thing is the Ram boxes, A lot dealerships didn't get the Rams with the Ram boxes but my mom got her Ram with them, They are really nice and convenient just like the Ram bins.

[@davey6837]

If you go to a parts store you can buy a 7 pin to 4 pin trailer plug in adapter for around 10 dollars and use the bottom trailer plug in and eliminate your problem

[@ChrisMartinScruffy]

GO ahead and buy an extension (or adapter) for the trailer plug. That way you don't have to put up with that first world problem :). You also get the 'happiness plus' factor in that you can stow extension in that rear floorboard bin. Oh and not sure if your Dodge is like my wife's car (chevy cruze) but when engine shuts off at light she can just lift the brake a tad and engine with come back on. The car doesn't have a switch to turn that feature off at all but perhaps it's time to start googling for that plug in..

[@LockonStratos21]

I'm in FL too and my car has the same feature. However, fortunately, BMW is smart enough to know that if the AC is on and is set to high, then engine auto shut off should be off.

[@Furious321]

The 2019 Ram has a similar limitation and will prevent Stop/Start if such a condition is met. But if you're trying to cool yourself off with the temperature set to 71° and fan speed set to 3, you're gonna get frustrated.

@@Furious321 how's the AC on max? Does it get cool in back seat?

[@gransport4246]

I basically have the same truck minus the etorque, but add 3.92 gears. Best truck I’ve owned so far and I’ve had Ford and GMC previously. I have 8,300 miles with no issues other than Apple CarPlay doesn’t always load immediately which isn’t often, but I unplug it and replug it back in. It’s happened like 5 times. I keep track of my mileage on a spreadsheet and have averaged 17.6 overall which includes a trip to Florida and several trips hauling the boat. The dash reading shows 18.5 or 19 so a little off and I’ve never reset it on trip B. Trip A I reset each tank. 12-13 towing and 18-21 commuting. For your towing receptacle issue, I’d get a seven pin conversion to four pin. It would then be in the bottom socket.

Really nice looking truck, congrats! Very simple and honest review! Not once you wasted time overdoing your opinion. You pointed out a like or a dislike and stated your take on an easy to understand reason. Very well done :) Sure everything can be personal opinion, except the towing connector VS tailgate fiasco! WTH Ram? Hopefully you don't scuff your tailgate by accident. But don't stress out, every manufacturer does a fiasco on their products [not an excuse automakers ):( ] I personally own an F150 for 2 years now (2 F150 in a row - 6 years, total happy ownership). It has fiascos as well, but I love it with no need be biased or fan boy. Not perfect, but perfect for my needs. I'm a truck guy and like them all. Each have pros and cons. Preferences, preferences. Let's respect each others. Keep rolling and posting your clean videos and opinions. It is super nice to "travel" inside other trucks while having a nice "conversation". Enjoy every minute of your truck! Cheers!

You can get an adapter from 7-pin to a 4-pin plug and just use lower power plug for trailer. Its about $10. It will not interfere with your tailgate.

Dude, this is probably the best review I've ever seen. Thank you so much.

[@ronwinkles2601]

I shopped long and hard for a full-sized 2019 pickup with price, features and mileage being the main drivers. I looked primarily at Toyota, Ford, GMC and Ram. Some things I wanted were a V-8 engine, a bench seat and a limited slip rear end with 4-Wheel Drive and two-tone paint. This combination of options because of the six passenger configuration force me to accept a mid-class model in all brands except the Ram. The Ram offered the upgrade of leather interior while the others only offered cloth. Long story short, I bought a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Crew Car 4 X 4 with everything I wanted and more options than I will ever use. It listed for $57,125, and bought it for $45,000 out the door plus tags, tax and title. None of the other models remotely came close with an all cash, no trade offer to buy. I have now had the Ram for six months with 2700 miles on it, and its combined mpg for 2700 miles is 20.1 mpg. I live in the East Tennessee hills and I have made a round trips to Kokomo, Indiana and Baltimore, Maryland. Show me a Ford, GMC or Toyota with a 395 hp engine That can get that mileage, and I will gladly admit I made a mistake. I do not solicit comments from anyone, but people voluntarily say to me, "What a beautiful truck."

Hey RC, I liked the video and subscribed. I'm on my 2nd RAM 1500 leased, 2017 and now the 2019. In addition to your list of likes/dislikes I just wanted to add I loved both trucks and had zero problems with the 2016. The 2019 had to have the gas tank replaced because of 'known' tripping the pump release during gas filling (covered by dealer). The front parking sensors stopped working and show service needed. Dealer says a rock must have hit front sensor and caused it to fail. (not covered by warranty) and will cost $700. to replace that 1 sensor. crazy to think every time a rock hits the bumper, may cost me that to restore this feature. The sensors are a great and necessary feature but they need to make them easier to replace then. These 2019 sensors list for $210. on the web. Just FYI to every one. Love everything else.

There are different packages bud. I have a TRX 2020 RAM.

[@fonzy6677]

love the truck, I have the same one. One a trip from Central TX to AZ I was getting 19-21 mpg at an average of 80+ mph... which I LOVED! I sit around 15-18 in the city.

[@carl16760]

that's respectable

[@haroldprice1030]

My daughter needs that auto shut off. She's actually locked her car up a couple of times running with the key still in the ignition (2008 CRV) all day.... I drive a 2013 Chrysler 300s and I have never had a single issue with the U Connect or the back up feature glitching etc. I am looking to trade for a new truck and so I appreciate your unbiased review of the RAM.

[@brevinainslie6357]

Just got into a ‘19 big horn, came from a ‘16 big horn. Also had an ‘07 1500 Hemi and ‘17 3.6 ram. Both 4x4 CCSB Hemis, and I gotta say, the small things about the 5th gens make it worth the upgrade. Everything just seems…better? Engine tune might be the same, but it drives better. 4x4 feels much more responsive. Brakes are much much better. Suspension is much better. They did a great job. They’re great trucks. I love how they look, handle, drive, everything.

[@georgewilliams6328]

There is a wiring harness you can install on the JL wranglers that bypasses that auto start and stop. They probably have one for the ram 1500s as well.

[@michaelbury1941]

Isnt the engine with the e-torque supposed to let the AC continue to work when auto stop is activated. Is there not a way to make that happen?

[@TheBryce1973]

Great review, I am considering this purchase so your review was very helpful.

[@brentlafont5005]

I got one too traded in my 2017 chevy for this same truck i love it dodge is now number one and all the bugs or problems are gone with the hemi engine in the new model dodge trucks

[@timbaker6774]

thats not a norman auto stop, just watched some info on the etorque models. Check it out

[@Brigante310]

My A/C doesn't shut off with the auto start stop. Not sure if that should be happening.

[@Furious321]

The compressor is engine-driven. So while the climate fans will continue to operate as normal, you'll no longer receive any air that's colder than ambient.

[@roundgraf6907]

I like your review. Thanks for taking the time to do it. For your backup cam issue, see if there is a firmware/software update through the dealership, or an update for your radio which may be connected. I don't know if you can update, but it's worth a try.

[@ang3r3dv3t]

15k miles here. Loving it!

[@BlackHeart_YouTube_Channel]

What a phenomenal Truck. FIAT is kicking asses!

[@baro4178]

I'm picking up my fourth Ram 1500 in 8 weeks. Awesome trucks!!

[@Le_Royaliste_Perlino]

The 5.7L V8 was optional with the eTorque Mild-Hybrid System (Which Includes the Auto Start-Stop System). If you wanted, you could have bought a normal 5.7L Hemi without it on the 5th Gen. The V6 has it standard though.

[@rcmckonly8]

I get that but the package was what it was. i didnt want chrome and i wanted body colored moldings. well this was the truck they had and noone else around had another. Plus it was cheaper than the Bighorn with the sport package and chrome.

[@Le_Royaliste_Perlino]

rcmckonly8 Of course, I had to sacrifice the Level 1 Group for my Laramie for the options that I wanted myself, I know what ya mean :)

[@rcmckonly8]

@@Le_Royaliste_Perlino yeah i hate the package crap. forcing buyers on certain things to jack up the price

[@muradosman9998]

Ps. As for the auto shut. Can’t you change the setting to sport? I have the auto shut also in the Highlander, which is linked to Eco. But I hate it. So I always change it to Sport mode. The annoying part is that I have to change it every time I start the car. The Sport mode gives it more power and performance. But of course burns more gas.

[@netsurfers9357]

I have a 2019 1500 Laramie 4x4 without the start/stop system and love it. Thank's for letting me know about the plug problem in the back... I have no used it yet, but will keep that in mind that it can rub against the tailgate, if it is down.

[@TruckCentral]

Here’s the update video (solved that problem): kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4rblYZtoKplrZI

[@KAP32DW]

Get a 7 prong adapter to flat blade when you load your 4 wheeler. Then plug into main plug and done deal. Usually when you tow the tailgate is up so you don’t jackknife the tailgate with trailer.

[@johnraba9322]

What are you talking about with regard to the auto shutoff? Turn what off. Also, when the truck turns off you won't have air because the engine is not on. Very confusing.

[@koston777]

Just bought Ram 1500 and put 5000 miles in less than a month. Great truck. Great on highway.

[@tiburonrojo1975]

2019 ram 1500 what? Bighorn, longhorn? Laramie? Etc

[@crsantin]

I’m surprised your ac doesn’t continue working with the auto shut off. My 6 yr old BMW 328i continues to blow cold when it shuts off. Like your truck I have to disable it every time I start the car. I’m looking at a Ram or F150 for my next vehicle. The Ram is a beauty.

[@2dthoughts]

1 other gripe about tailgate down. I haul my kayak a bunch and you can’t see the license plate with tailgate down I have the Rebel package and love it so far about 7500 miles and a trip from Dallas to the mountains in Colorado. No issues other than those stupid recalls and an update to the radio that took a couple hours ( to fix FM) SiriusXM and everything else was fine

[@KM-xn5kj]

You should be able to disable the autostart in the settings

[@jhemsleypierre9784]

Great review. Just got the 2021 2 days ago and you made me feel better about my purchase even after I researched the hell out of this truck

[@TheIncredibleHoosier]

Did you get this same black out package?

[@josephcuellar2592]

I noticed that with my 2021 Ram 1500 that if you keep the A/C temp too low and when pull up to a stop the engine won’t turn off. I was wondering why it wouldn’t turn off and thought it was defective lol then I tried increasing AC temp and that turned out to be the issue.

[@lancelotlink3907]

Loved my 2015 Sport but 6 recalls by year 3 was disappointing. The biggies were rear axle bearings replaced and air bags. Tailgate locking mechanism replacement and 2 software updates werent a big deal. The Hemi ticked after 25K miles and the key fob ignition switch broke at around 23K made me wonder.. Loved the interior though and the exterior looked great too.

[@santhavaraja3373]

I own a 2021 warlock black on black. I love every bit of it. However, the comparison between 2014 tundra quad cab vs 2019 crew cab is not a fair comparison for the tundra. I got a good deal on the tundra too but I went with ram warlock. The reason is because of the waiting period and the dealership didn't even have a truck for test drive. But we all know the Toyota is known for their reliability. With that being said. I have no regrets so far for going with the ram warlock. I love it.

[@rkalla]

Does the start/stop disable hack that worked on the Fords, work on the Rams? I think it was like a $7 plug dead-wired that you plugged into the towing harness and the truck automatically disables start/stop cause it thinks you are towing. I agree with you, messing with it every time you are in the car is a PIA.

[@GabrielMartinez-sd8pc]

Picked up a new 2019 Ram Warlock. I absolutely love it!

[@TheRealerArbor]

What did you pay for it? Thinking about getting one myself

[@rtundlt1]

If you use the TOW/HAUL mode, the engine stop function is disabled according to the manual. Also, I understand your frustration with the trailer wire, but what if you used the 7 pin plug/4 wire adapter in the lower 7 pin socket? It's an extra step, but will keep you from fouling your tailgate with the trailer harness. Just my $0.02

[@rcmckonly8]

yes i planned on that solve. look for that in the next video coming soon

[@davidromaine174]

Have you had a fully loaded cab yet? I am having an issue with the active noise cancellation that only picks up with a full cab and the amplifier picks up the eco mode in the trans that amplifies the trans and makes a loud bass humming noise in the cab that echos continuously. When I am by myself there is no issue. Or even having 600lbs in the bed there is no issue. It all comes from the full passenger cab.

[@rcmckonly8]

haven't experience this issue, no

[@spinedoc893]

As far as reliability..... I'm not a 'RAM boy' either. I do have a 2013 RAM 1500 sport 5.7L with the ZF 8sp trans which is the only FCA product I've owned and if I am being honest I only bought it because my buddy is an FCA employee and he was able to give me his employee discount which made it too good to pass up. My truck has 215,000 km (135,000 miles, sorry I'm in Canada lol) and it has been fabulous! Aside from regular maintenance the only things I've had to replace are one front hub, the u-joint on the end of the steering shaft and a fuel pressure sensor. That's it and I live in Muskoka (Cottage country 2 hrs north of Toronto) where the roads are twisty and bumpy and the winters are severe so I am VERY impressed with the reliability of this truck. I will admit that some of the maintenance stuff is a bit pricey . Things like spark plugs which are $600 cdn to replace (there are 16 of them) and their recommended interval of 48,000 km (30000 miles) is a bit ridiculous. I've only done mine once and it runs fine. Fluids for this truck, coolant, gear lube transfer case oil are way more expensive than an other vehicles I've owned but thats probably true of most late model vehicles now. I will say as much as the ZF 8sp is a great transmission and works wonderfully a fluid change is $1000 cdn!!! the dealer says its a 'lifetime' fluid meaning you don't need to change it. But there is no such thing as a lifetime fluid except that if you don't change it the trans with blow up and there you go the fluid lasted the lifetime of the tranny! lol. Oddly the dealer says you don't have to change it but my owners manual says the service interval is 196,000 km. I haven't changed it yet but am going to suck up the cost and do it because I have a buddy who is a mechanic and said that ZF unit is over $8k to buy plus labour. But overall VERY happy with the truck because truthfully when I got it i was expecting some reliability issues because older Dodge trucks had issues but I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one and I am going to replace mine with a 2020 this year.

[@OGG619]

[@wrlee1966]

The issue with the display could have been fixed with a software update these new trucks all get them some have to be done with you take them in for oil changes or other maintenance
