( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2013 Ram 1500 Pick-up ( you may remember it as a Dodge) is virtually all new. OK, the HEMI engine option remains but same as the new Ram 1500 is now available with the Chrysler Pentastar V-6 engine and a HEMI V-8. But for 2013 the Ram also gets a new and class first 8 speed transmission, and optional self-leveling air suspension and (according to Ram) best in class fuel economy. Of course we wanted to know know just how fast the new Ram 1500 is to 60 MPH and perhaps more importantly how it competes with the best selling vehicle in America...the Ford F-150. We also wanted to know how it stacks up against the Chevy Silverado. If you are curious as well, watch this exclusive TFLcar mashup review as we test and review all three classic American pick-up trucks and see which one is fastest to 60 MPH.

Tim, you nailed us. Good catch. To be very honest we were paid the exact same amount of money by Dodge that you were paid by Chevy to make this comment.

@BikerAuto63 12 лет назад

I have to say, I like how Dodge didn't provide bare-bones models of their competitors and compared them fairly with trim levels in relatively the same price range. I'm a Ford guy, but I thought it was unfair when Ford and Chevy did comparisons to their competitors, they would be comparing their top trim level against bottom of the line to mid-level trims. One of the better reviews I've seen of these trucks. Thanks Roman for a good review.

I had my first experience in a 2012 Ram.. it didn't have the new air suspension, but I was impressed at how well it towed. with about 4,000 lbs on the hitch, you could even tell it was there at 70 mph. there was no wobble, no sway, it was extremely smooth and quiet. the Ram is no joke people.. this coming from a Ford guy.

No acceleration test of the Chevy, no test of the Ford V-8. Ford's turbo 6 is EPA rated WORSE than the V-8's, and has more high-speed moving parts and operates under higher pressure. Bottom line: Worthless test. I want my 7:49 back.

@Outlaw-oc2uv 8 лет назад

they're are goods and bads in all of these trucks. I personally prefer the ram. I Bought a 2002 4.7 v8 4wd new in 2002 still have it to this day. has 173,000 and still going strong. never had one ounce of mechanical issues. isn't over-using oil, doesn't run hot. the only bad thing I would say about this truck is that it only gets 15 mpg highway and 17 mpg city. which isn't that bad for a full size truck but it would be nice if it was around the 20 mark. I believe dodge has dramatically improved the mpg in the new trucks which should be a seller. Now, this is thing. when it comes to hauling loads, cows, hay, etc.. nothing is going to beat the cummins diesel. no, not the power choke, or the duracrap. Cummins will put them all to shame any day of the week.

Trans am I clocked at 5.85 seconds 0-60, I clocked my truck at 5.9 seconds. not bad for a 4x4 truck.

@Dgannt 10 лет назад

I would say the most important part in any of these trucks was the self leveling air suspension in the Ram. Is 0-60 really important in a big truck?

@lienyaregiap 10 лет назад

The ram's air suspension is terrible I know who is testing with ford they test on my fathers truck. They compared a brand new ram suspension to the tested one on my fathers 250 and there was such a large ride difference. The test driver did the "river bed" with one hand compared to the slow two and approach he had to do with the ram. And i quote "why would they release such shit." said the test driver.

@ThaGVPSon 6 лет назад

lol you think an air suspension is important in a truck?! Whats important in a truck is the durability and longevity of essential components like the suspension bearing the load of work materials and when towing heavy loads. An air suspension is fragile and expensive to repair when not if it breaks. A full size truck should have a heavy duty leaf spring rear suspension augmented by shock absorbers, not a fancy pants air suspension that cadillacs use.

@dakotakelly9371 3 года назад

@@lienyaregiap I know this video as well as your comment are very old but figured this might help someone watching an old video like me. You mentioned the rams air suspension is terrible, yet when you made that comment it hardly even had time to be tested. I personally know someone who has a 2014 ram with the air ride that very regularly tows upwards of 7000lbs and has had zero issues with the system, it also has no problems leveling out the truck even with more tongue weight than it probably should have. Just figured a long term update would be better than the nonsense you spewed not even 2 years after the system was released.

@dakotakelly9371 3 года назад

@@ThaGVPSon My comment also applies to your comment as well. Again 2014 ram 1500 with the air ride, around 120k miles and regularly tows. The air ride has had zero issues and has proven to be very reliable.

@TFLcar 11 лет назад

4X4 adds lots weight...so it slows down the truck. The added traction of a 4X4 might make for a slightly faster time off the line but the added weight will slow down the truck to a much greater extent.

@olebiker 11 лет назад

I just spent about 10 days driving a Dodge Ram 1500 rental while waiting for an insurance settlement. That was quite a beast with a surprisingly refined interior. When it came time to buy a truck Saturday, though, I went with an F150 STX. It's a pretty spartan version of the F150 but it has the 5.0 liter engine and a transmission cooler for pulling my bass boat.

@quackzkustumz 8 лет назад

The ram is by far the sportiest without the shitty prehistoric leaf spring rear suspension it corners way better the the coil sprung or air rear suspension

The rotary knob is for only the 8spd transmission. He said mid level and higher but the 3.6 pentastar engine (base engine) is ONLY available with an 8 spd. So yes you can get a V6 base model work truck with the 8spd. Its just the hemi that it is optional over the 6spd auto.

Old Smokey Well it has the torque of a V8 in the same power band of a V8, it makes similar if not better hp than a V8. It is a logical replacement for the big 'ol 8 cylinder lugger. I will give you two things though, who knows how long these engines will last and they will never have the muscular sound of a crossplane V8.

I'll be honest, I'm a Ford guy, always have been, always will be, and I really enjoyed this video. Thank you Roman!

@qdog79 11 лет назад

Roman, What rear gear ratios were the trucks you tested? The big 3 offer many different rear axle ratios with there trucks, which makes it hard to do apples to apples comparisons. An ecoboost with a 3.15 rear-end is probably gonna make great mileage for a truck, but it might not tow or perform like the HEMI with the 3.92 rear end, which will more than likely make abysmal mileage. I was just wondering, is this something that is considered when getting tester trucks? Thanks.

@TheRealSmithFamily 11 лет назад

That's what's great though! Those that want the tech can have it and those that don't, don't have to. Although the new GM and Fords both come with full touch screens as an option, but then the RAM can be had without all of the tech as well. I personally like the tech. I use it for more than hauling loads/tools though.
