My name is Austin, this is Mopar Garage, and we build cool stuff in here! Today we are introducing the new daily driver, a 2020 Ram 1500 lone star. It’s my first 5th gen 1500 truck. We’re making the first couple mods and going over some early issues that are bringing it back to the dealer!

That exterior color with the black grill looks awesome. Congrats on your new truck

Thank you!!

I'm a Chevy lover but I still love 1st and 2nd Dodge Ram trucks. And I agree with you, "Dodge" is what these beauties were known for. I only wish they still had the column shifter but I still love em!

@TheMoparGarage 3 месяца назад

Thanks man! I also wish they still had the column shifter!

18 inches is the most you can go for wheels, and there is no room for brake caliper covers. Will need to paint them if you want color. Running a Rough Country 3.5 inch lift, 35's Hercules Terra Tracs with 18 inch wheels.

@TheMoparGarage 4 месяца назад

Welcome to SC man! I love it here. Good info on the wheels, I had a 4th Gen that I put 17’s on, but it did appear the brakes got bigger on the 5th gen so I guess 18’s it is. Your truck sounds sweet. Thanks for subscribing!

I have exactly the same truck ,I highly recommend you to get the Lasfit led bulbs to replace your halogen , you won’t regret it , also swap all the interior lights for LED , I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY TRUCK

@TheMoparGarage 4 месяца назад

I work with Lasfit actually, they’re going to be proving floor mats and LED’s. Great company.

The Lonestars are not built in Texas. All DT Ram 1500’s are built at the Sterling Heights assembly plant near Detroit. The Lonestar is marketed in Texas only.

You’re right, I should have said “sold in Texas”

I had a 18 ram hemi that needed lifters at 5k, radio at 20k and transmission at 60k I got rid of it after that. I babies that truck and towed a couple times and it had horrible sway compared to the tundra I got. 120k and the tundra has never had a issue but just only gets 15 mpg the ram was suppose to get 20ish and I never saw over 17 mpg. Good luck with your new truck.

@sportbikerunner 4 месяца назад

my 2019 new body, I beat the living shit out of this truck, tow a heavy boat, tow a trailer that weighs 10k dry, hauled pallet of sod in the bed, flooring it everywhere I go and it never missed a beat, its at 60k right now

@TheMoparGarage 4 месяца назад

Man that’s bad luck. I’ve had a 2012, 2014, 2018, and 2021 and had great luck with all of them. You always run the chance of getting a lemon though!

@mildaudiophile3879 4 месяца назад

@@sportbikerunner maybe I got a lemon but dodge are pretty notorious for being unreliable. Wife has a widebody scat challenger contrary to my decision she got one and with only 8k it’s been to the shop 4 times for warranty work and now she want to trade it for a Tesla.

You definitely can’t do 17s. I just put 18s on my 23 ram 1500 and the wheel weights miss the calipers by a hair. Can’t wait to follow the progress on this build. 😎

@TheMoparGarage 4 месяца назад

Thanks for watching! Seems to be the consensus from a lot of commenters that 17’s are a no go. They must have upsized the brakes for the 5th gen, I had a 2014 with 17’s on it.

Ram its own company now. A lot of people didn’t know they made Ram its own. But it looks good I’ve got a 19 classic

New ride looks good. I agree with step bars.....especially on a 2 wd truck. I'm not 6'1, so on a full size 4x4 I'm ok with them. My 2nd gen has them, tires are also a little taller than stock, so they're kind of nice.

Nice looking truck bud get you some 5 inch tips and It will make the sound a little bit deeper get you the mbrp muffler it takes away that fart sound when you let go of the gas it sounds more like a burble with mbrp muffler that's what I had on my 2021 ram 1500

On the 2025’s looks like they’ve gone back to bulbs. Replacing the LED tailight assembly runs about $ 700.

@blazinggamez5512 4 месяца назад

No offense dude but if you say dodge 1500 to someone they’re not gonna know what your talking about because they’ve always been called rams

@TheMoparGarage 4 месяца назад

Ram has been a separate company since 2010 so when you order parts you definitely have to put the brand in as Ram…but they will always be a Dodge truck to me!

@meramosjr 3 месяца назад

Everybody with reason knows that a Dodge Ram and a Ram truck are the same thing. If this hurts your feelings, too bad princess, just don't be so petty. Do you throw a fit when someone calls a tissue a Kleenex?

@vmyhdz Месяц назад

In the interest of accuracy you should call them Rams because that’s what they are. There’s no “Dodge” lettering or identifier anywhere on the Ram trucks. After all nobody refers to Nissans as Datsuns.
