Not gonna lie, she is a beauty. The color, the engine, the wheels, the interior, everything is as I dream of owning one day. Congrats on this fantastic purchase, Pray to God that this beauty of a truck lasts for decades.
You Americans are just crazy, every year the cars are even more huge! I adore you) I saw this car in a showroom in Moscow for $ 132,500 (Limited 2021 ed.). I have never seen such huge cars in my life.
@Ryan Roberts which is not always the case. Uni construction gives the best win ratio in an head on, it's simple, the impact is absorbed through the entire vehicle vs just the cab or corner of the chassis. Id still rather a truck. False sense of security I guess.
It’s simple. Big trucks tow big shit. We don’t buy em for the size. We buy them for their capability. Me I am waiting for a dealership in NC to get my truck in. Should be any day now. 22 Big Horn 3500 crew cab dually 8’ box. I guess they just don’t get any bigger than that. But I tow a toy hauler.
Beautiful truck!! I just bought a 2020 2500 MegaCab Limited and it’s the Cat’s meow!! The little problems that you mention are prevalent with most big rigs but I’ve seen nothing finer than the limited edition. Great compromise between luxury truck and family truckster!! I’ve had nothing but compliments from anyone riding in the front or rear of this cab. By far, my favorite vehicle that I’ve ever owned! Thanks for the extremely critical review and I can’t wait to read and see your future reviews of this vehicle as you move forward!
Hi, I just took possession of a 2021 RAM. I've that truck! I'm 77yrs old and that's my everyday driver. It's a Big Horn with a few bells and whistles, but I sure love it! Thanks for what you do and God bless and have a blessed day!
Hey Steve, I'm 49 yrs old and I don't have anything..lol! So I need to get my butt work and maybe if God gives me health I might get to your age, but I'm not sure economically though..Thank you and God bless!
Last week I picked up my 2021 3500 HO. I have about 400 miles on it now. The tuning, ride, AISIN shifting was much better than I expected. I sold my 2012 2500 6.7 and moved up to the HO. WOW, again what a huge difference B/T the two trucks. My 2012 also had rear springs and the 2021 3500 HO rides much, much better.
@@richardcarlson4327 I ordered this truck on 10 Nov 2020. 3500 BigHorn CCSB 4x4 with Level 2 Equipment Group, 220 Amp Alt, HO Cummins, Engine Block Heater, Spray in Bed Liner, 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Towing Package, 9Alpine Speakers , Rear Wheelhouse Liners, Premium Lighting Group. 9K off MSRP. I selected white and there was no charge for that color. Hope this helps.
I have 13,700 on my 21 dually and it already needs a dpf and egr plus it keeps locking itself in 4th gear. So glad its a rental. Being a 21 its gonna be rare. Not many got made this year.
Completely agree with you on the door gaps. My '20 is also terrible on the back doors. Love the switch they put in for the trailer plug. Wish my '20 had that.
You are so right I’m also humbled to own my 2017 dodge Laramie no 60 k miles ……..2500 6.7 turbo diesel mega cab they don’t make a better truck in my opinion guys and ladies you will not be disappointed if you purchase a dodge turbo diesel i promise you dodge knocked it out of the park
Jup. The 701! Clean, superstrong, best choice ever, got them on my ´21 3500 tradesman HO single, with 37´BFGs and BDS lift. Just a work truck config, the predecessor I sold with 370k mls. I´m in Europe, many trips to Germany, 100+ mph without witchcraft... but we talk about 5 to 6 mpg :-)
Wheels: I'm a fan of the AEV Salta HD wheels on Rams. A nice clean look. Also, please update us further on the improvement Ram has provided on the Aisin shifting.
The only nitpick I have the with AEV wheels is that you can't run free-spin hub kits on them without machining out the center hole so it's wider, which I worry might compromise the integrity. Otherwise the Salta wheels are amazing, lightweight for the size, decent price, don't trap mud and fit the look of the Ram really well.
In the span of 5 years or so you purchased, what, 3 of these horribly overpriced trucks? Do you really have questions as to why they are priced as they are? It's because of you. You keep buying them. When you finally man up and tell the dealership, "Nah, I'll pass", then maybe the prices will come down.
Congrats Paul. I’m a Ford guy but I have to say if I had to jump ship it would be for a RAM just like your new 2021 mega cab. Would love to start doing long family road trips. But I have to say with all the issues of CP4 it has prolonged my new truck purchase. I think if I had to pull a trigger right now I’ll probably do a Ford 7.3 gasser. Thanks again love your input on Ram
For the rear airbag, I suggest getting an all inclusive unit that self inflates and deflates remotely by Bluetooth connection to your phone through its own app. You will love this convenience and you will never want to go back to anything else. It cost a few bucks more but it is so worth it.
Guys your dealer either doesn't know or doesn't educated buyer, those door gaps are set that way so that they'll close until the seals wear in a bit. If they put them fully tight it's airtight and will keep you from fully closing the doors.
“You get what you get and that’s what you get” lmao I love that. Reminds me when I was in construction and my oldschool mentors would say to me, “it is what it is and that’s all there is to it” 😂
I have had 3 Rams. The last one I bought was a 2019 Rebel. The part that I disliked was the Ram Boxes never lined up with the body lines. I had it 1 year and couldn’t take it anymore. Sold it.
CJC puts out some sick rams with carli lifts. However I just ordered a leveling kit for my 2006 from top tier suspension in Missouri. Great to deal with. Front coils for my 2006 are back ordered for 6 months from carli directly. Fortunately top tier is a mega distributor and had what I needed.
If you are considering buying a RAM 3500 pickup, please don't do that. My RAM 3500 break down very quickly from the fuel system. I bought a 2020 RAM 3500 and it broke after 3 months, my fabulous RAM 3500 is still in the dealer after 1 month. They tell me there are no spare parts for the fuel system
I’m running a Yokohama geolanderX-AT in 35x12.5 x18 load range F with an alignment to Thurman specs and couldn’t be happier . They are great in all driving citations .
man if you are wiling to buy an italian/french truck then boy do I have a an investment offer for you. It's called bitconnect and it is revolutionary and foreign, just like that truck
That’s not the gas cap, those trucks don’t have gas caps anymore, that orange plastics it’s just covering the hole for transport from the manufacturer or what ever, so no more caps all u do is push the gas pump gun thru and fill up!
From a land far far away where we can only afford 10 yr old second hand vehicles being sold and taxed as New. This Ram would cost over 200k USD and you would be the local Governor of my very superstitious Nyamira County in Kenya 🇰🇪. I Salute you...
Fuel Blitz D693 wheels in Platinum or D674 in Machined tint color would look nice. Fuel Vector D600 in Bronze or D601 in Anthracite grey are both awesome with a high weight rating for towing. I put Vectors on all my work trucks.
Wish I had bought the Mega Cab though, oh well. Still driving my 2018 Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn. I am switching out the cross grill for the Ram grill. I just put 38”x22”x13.50” Mickey Thompson and American Force rims. I also put a 6” BDS suspension system on it. Looks like a new truck....
I am going into business with the 3500 Rams. I will get the Tradesmans, HO Cummins, and Aisen trans. I want as few electronics as possible,which can go wrong eventually. Dodge has body quality issues,as always. I owned a 2014 Dodge One Ton Dually and I bought a new 1974 Dodge Power Wagon back in 74. I love the Cummins, and the smooth styling of the Dodges. I built armored vehicles using the GM Duramax's but they are overly complicated compared to the Cummins. I also modified Ford Excursions, but the Fords had all kinds of problems with the PowerStrokes. I will use roughly 10 to 20 of them per month once we get rolling.
For this caliber of truck I wouldn't put anything other than innov8 Racing American made forged wheels on it. They come in 17 or 20", are anodized aluminum in the color you want, can pull them off and have them reanodized to a different color if you ever change your truck, available in multiple offsets and most importantly there strong capable of handling heavy loads. A nice set of G500s would be perfect!
Sweet truck. Black rhino wheels would look sick n they come in many different color combinations. I might just need to pick me up a truck like that I’m loving it!!!
"Anthracite" color wheels might look good against that color truck or some 22.5 milled down to 22 lol. also I run the wildpeak at3w and have liked em so far.
Any issues getting comfortable in the drivers seat? I’m disappointed that the steering wheel doesn’t telescope, but I guess the adjustable pedals makes up for it? Beautiful truck btw
I am super disappointed the wheel doesn’t telescope. My adjustable pedals on my 2022 Laramie help a little, but doesn’t make up for the fact that I need the wheel about an inch or two closer to get super comfy. Seems like such an oversight on these luxury trucks.
I looked at the 2021 Ram 3500 srw Big Horn with the HO 6.7 cummins 4:10 w/Aisin trans. Really loved the cp3 pump addition. $77k with options Ultimately, I chose the 2021 Ford F-350 xlt with Tremor package 6.7 powerstroke/10 speed ..with all my options and discounts $69k. The Ford is fast...my goodness. It was a tough choice. But , I couldn't pass up a '21 Ford 6.7 Tremor, its just an awesome truck
Paul I know you're changing the tires for the way you use your truck but for the average guy what's your opinion of the Firestone Transforce AT tires from the factory, Ihavea 2022 Laramie. I've heard people say the sidewalls can fail and that concerns me at 80 mph on the Interstate, I do like the way they feel on the road. Will the sidewalls holdup or not? I don't want to blow a sidewall out, or have any safety issues. Thank you Paul, love your truck.
F450 vs ram 3500 ho. 19.5 wheels vs 17" wheels. They are both rated around 37k max towing. Ford turning radius or ram engine break. Ford 475hp 1050lbf vs ram 420hp 1075lbf. V8 vs I6. Ram air bags. What's your input?
I like your review, was going to ask you. I have a 2020 Ram 3500 Laramie with the CP-4, do you recommend to change it out and put in the CP-3? Ive seen some of your other videos and you have a few trucks, id appreciate the info. Thanks in advance.
I bought a ‘20 to pull our 36’ travel trailer. After a DEF scare, learning that anything other than MOPAR filters will trigger an engine light, and that a 10ish thousand pound camper can hold it back on a 5% grade, I’m a little underwhelmed. It’ll be paid off in 3yrs, but the next one will be a Ford or Chevrolet.
Can you manually shirt the aisin? Reason I ask is I test drove a 5500 cab chassis with aisin and I didn't find a way to manually shift? I probably overlooked it. I only found the tow haul button near the end of my test drive. Didn't like where the button was located. Also do u think the exhaust brakes are strong on these trucks compared to the old flapper type exhaust brake? I have a 2006 with the old jacobs/cummins brand with the vacuum pump. Thanks again. I'm seriously considering a 21 3500 srw Laramie. I keep my vehicles forever.
Yes you can. Buttons are on the steering wheel. I’ve had 2 old style exhaust break systems. Seemed like on low rpm they were stronger. But mid and high rang is stronger on the vgt ones. So over all vgt ones are stronger. I would say yes on the 21 purchase. Aisin of course. As long as you are financially ready for it.
Maybe you can answer this question for me. Can you see with the navigation can you save up to 4 trailer's and can you input size length and width of This way when you decide on your route you don't end up tearing off the top of your trailer.
Imagine a factory where because of covid college kids and replcement workers and guys pulled off their normal jobs to do jobs they r. Not familiar with...as people get covid quarentined...this not just at the ram factory but with every single job down to the screws in the entire supply chain...will be interesting to see what the quality of every covid vehicle from every manufacturer
You're right bro, here at the Ram Trucks plant in Mexico. We only stopped working for a month, when we returned to work it was very difficult because the production of ram trucks is always in demand. Also when FCA gave the profits to the workers. they only wrote a check for 1,000 dollars. When it was not justified because those profits corresponded to the year 2019. For that reason many new workers resigned. Now we are resigned that the pandemic continues at least in Mexico. But it is very hard to work from Monday to Saturday. 12 hour shifts. and that the company does not appreciate the effort of its workers.
Is the rear view mirror an option only on the Limited. We have the 2020 Laramie Longhorn with the HO and Aisin transmission. We had a B&W Gooseball Hitch installed locally to haul our new RV.
This is a Beautiful truck man and my next ram needs to be a 3500. I’ve only owned 1500s and the extra money for a 2500 doesn’t make sense to me besides the fact I can get the Cummins but the performance capabilities aren’t that much better really. My crew cab hemi does everything I need while averaging 17mpg on 35s. I want a popup camper though so 3500 makes most sense. Don’t need the HO but we’ll see. In regards to wheels I really love the method MR704 titanium gunmetal and on your truck they’d look sick!
just bought myself my first new truck 2021 3500 regular cab Tradesman Cummins, and I agree regarding the 4x4 buttons, I really wanted the manual throw on the floor, but no such luck, hopefully the button lasts !! love the truck, I have never loved a push button start, does yours ever not start even after the pre warm ? occationally i need to push it twice, love the truck though
Love your videos, great truck id throw some methods NV HD on it! Question though, with the rear view mirror does that big plastic housing become a bad blind spot or do you just adjust?
