Hey question, I live in North Carolina and my dad co-owns and maintains a farm during the summer, I’m looking into helping him and I’ve been looking at 2006-2008 Rams, is there any insight you can share w me about them? Like reliability, basic towing, and stuff like that
If you can get the air suspension and power running boards in the Laramie, then I'm good. Don't need the panoramic roof, huge touch screen or split tail gate. All super nice options, but also, kinda just more stuff that can take a shit and cost money to fix lol.
Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Kyson Rayden Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I’m happy I go the chrome bumpers. Don’t need to worry about paint chips. Put film protection on the two little panels under the lights and a hood deflector and all good. Hopefully
Jon I got chrome too! I’m planning on getting a clear bra on the front (headlights, hood, and that little plastic under headlights). Thinking of adding a big deflector to protect the windshield a little more
Hi Ben, love these comparison videos. Would love to see a video that covers towing specifically with the different models. For instance, there seem to be some 1500s that will tow 11k lbs and some only 8k lbs and I'm not clear why that is. What engine/trim combo do you need to get the 11k lbs of towing and what's the max towing capability of a 1500? Also, am I correct that the 2500 w/Hemi gets you around 14k lbs of towing and the diesel around 18k lbs?
The Hemi equipped with the 3.92 rear end is what gets that 11,000+ lb tow spec. Most 1500 Rams are standard with the 3.21 diff specs at around 8,000+ lbs. A 3.92 is only a $95 option but its hard to find a dealer that orders them with it.
So for 2020 they took away the option for just a HEMI without the e-torque on a Limited? Glad I got my 2019 Limited, wonder if that makes my truck a little better for resell. I don't care or trust the e-torque yet. I'm not alone, I've spoken to other Ram truck enthusiast and many also feel cautious about the e-torque.
I have a 2019 Laramie Sport it came with a CD player ,12 inch screen front avoidance collision , back up parking system ,tailgate auto drop, the only 2 features the limited has I don’t have is air suspension system and auto step when you open the door otherwise there the same
My 2020 low level Laramie lacks rear seat recline function. Nor can you release the rear seat backs. The Limited has limo-like rear seat recline which works well with the huge leg room. Pull down the middle seat back, reach in and there are pull strings to release the seat backs for hidden storage. Only thing I wish my Laramie had. Anyone know if it can be upgraded by the dealer?
The limited is nice but to expensive. The best bang for your buck is getting a ram laramie with the black out package. It gives you ALOT of extra stuff over the standard laramie.
Agreed. I just purchased the 2020 Laramie on 9/27/19 with black out package and it came with most everything the Limited in this video has. 22" wheels, 12" touch screen, Harman Kardon stereo package, LED everything, etorque, sport hood, etc. The only thing I can say for sure it doesn't have is the wood trim and air suspension. I paid $47k
@@TheGera9999 I would if the ride on the 22" is too firm/rough. We have some seriously crummy roads where I live and the ride quality of a 20" tire is much nicer.
I have the Longhorn package. I love the cattle ranch style. I only wish I could of got the limited grill on my longhorn versus the longhorn grill. I was Told that Chrysler couldn’t do that even if I ordered it that way. Dammm.
Manual adjustable steering wheel on the limited? RAM are you kidding me? With a MSRP as high as that truck is, manual adjustable steering wheel is ridiculous. Everything should be all power.
Can't please everyone. People have been bitching about the electronically-controlled gear selector for a decade now. I'm just glad the steering wheel is telescopic now.
Was so excited about getting one of these but my brother works at Chrysler, dodge, jeep and ram dealership and said that Chrysler products are trash. He was a tech/diesel tech but now service advisor. Sucks because they’re so nice, just unreliable and terrible. Maybe just his dealership management? Thoughts anyone on reliability?
Had a new 2014 Bighorn for 4 1/2 years, zero problems (put 73K miles on it). Bought the new 2019 model Laramie in Sept. of 2018, have had basically zero problems (very minor), 38K miles on it. So I've been very happy with them for the last 8+ years. I don't work my trucks hard, but I love the ride ride in these Rams.
I would go for the limited, only if you can get it without the air suspension, just because I want to lift it and upgrade to oversized wheels and tires without it costing an arm and a leg.
@@BenHardyCars I'm in the market so I've been doing tons of research. Check the ramtrucks.com site. They have both the eTorque and the HEMI engines available for the Limited.
On the customer build web page, Ram doesn't show a Black Appearance Group for the 2020 Limited at this time. They do offer the Body-Color Bumper Group. Black Appearance is offered only for the Big Horn and Laramie. Dealers might have more options? www.ramtrucks.com/bmo.ram_1500_dt.2019.html#/models/2019/ram_1500_dt
Hey Ben can tell me where the button is to skip songs ..I'm just pressing the forward button on my screen ..there should be a forward button on the wheel but I cant find one..thanks
@@BenHardyCars I know that the source button is back there on the right side and 4 diagonal buttons but there not skipping songs..what's the buttons on the left side.
gutierrezrita the Laramie does have real leather but it has the suede inserts also. I personally think the leather and suede combo looks better than the all leather anyway.
What water leak issue? I have a 2019 with 21K miles and I haven't had a single issue with a water leak. The recalls have been minor stuff which was taken care of during my oil change.
2019 recalls were for a battery ground, adjustable pedals, and seatbelt pretensioners. Those should be resolved in the 2020. The water intrusion was a result of the third brake light gasket, and only affected the 4th gen models. There are two additional screws fastened to that lamp housing now, as well.
I have a Laramie Sport and I just want to point out the only options you can’t get on a sport that the limited has is the air suspension, pano roof, adaptive cruise control, collision warning, and lane keep. Mine has everything this Limited does (including 12” screen” except these features I noted. Sticker was $59k and I got $11k off sticker.
The 22" wheels and the air ride alone is worth paying the extra for the limited. You didn't mention that as a factor. when you add those 2 its worth the price.
Dude like your emphasis, but it looks like you are on speed or on to much caffeine. It makes it dificult to get your point across, chill out some this is not a drag race or the indy 500... !!
@@BenHardyCars Maybe you could stabilize the camera a bit, though? Swinging it rapidly back and forth makes it much harder to follow your viewpoint, we're not seeing with your eyes, we're seeing through your camera. Re-watch the part where you look at the Laramie bed, bed lights, etc. Keep up the vids!
I actually did my own comparison between a Limited and a Laramie. Both 1500's and Crew Cabs. You video wasnt a real apples to apples comparison, let me tell you why. I was able to find a 2020 Limited 4x2 with options for about the same price ($50,146) as a 2019 Laramie 4x4 ($50,175) with comparable options as the Limited. With all in discounts and rebates by both dealers they both came to within a couple hundred bucks of each other making the 2020 Limited the better buy. One thing that I didn't know was that the limited had premium leather. The 4x4 and sunroof is about a $5000 option alone. If you can live without those two it lowers the price dramatically making it a bit more affordable.
Why don’t you when describe the sides of the vehicals and wheels get actually broader view so it can be seen more in its entirety, will keep commenting until you get it right. Yourre welcome
If you keep commenting and he hasn't changed it, I'm sure he doesn't give a shit. In fact, he's probably happy because your negative comment is working with the RU-vid algorithm to get him more views and more money, so he's probably like "comment away, buddy."
