I Push the 2023 Ram 1500 Hemi V8 to the Limit On The World's Toughest Towing Test! 

I agree

100%

Yep!😊

Hands down. A lot of chemistry without the ego

Absolutely

Yes sir!!

Yesss I agree so happy to see Andre and Mr truck together

Their banter makes the video

Thanks

I agree!

Totally agree!

Maybe I want 4 cents though and I agree I don't tow cause im not smart enough id break everything but it would interest me to see how things get stressed and such

They cool very quickly at the top as it levels out and the load drops; the more useful temps are at the end of the steepest part of the run, when it had been running hard to maintain speed and thus build heat it the process.

100% agree...

I have a 2014, it has the less desirable 3.21 rear end but I tow my toy hauler 31 feet/8k pounds with my golf cart in it. It does pretty good, I wouldn't go cross country but its capable of a lot. However while driving normally highway driving I get about 20mpg.

The maximum load is the maximum safe weight. Exceeding that would be unsafe. No?

@@lesterpittenger5992it’s common sense to not speed with a load regardless of weight

Facts.

Really he had it maxed out pedal to the floor. He said the little ecoboosts were half throttle doing the same run. That's horrible being maxed out and dangerous. Dodge is trash

The 5.7s actually do perty good.

​​@@codylucier4688 I had a EcoBoost so many issues its unreal! Switched to a hemi no problems with 60k more miles then I put on that EcoBoost. Both tow about the same with about the same fuel mileage.

​@@codylucier4688 Even the little 2.7 Ecoboost was at only 3,000 rpm not even half throttle with max trailer and they said it was actually accelerating. A Hemi being floored and running 4,000-5,000 rpm is piss poor.

Y’all so called experts on here keep failing to mention the eco boost is twin turbo versus naturally aspirated V8. Put a turbo on those V8’s and it will crush the eco boost garbage.

Hard to say about price. Does a Tradesman get bonus points vs a Laramie? Easy to spec a bare bones truck under $50k. Should get bonus points for a high content truck that has over 1500lb payload

@@andrewsbbq - so true. Powertrain vs powertrain. The rest is all fluff. 😂 buy what you can afford and want, don’t worry what the others cost I’d they don’t compare really close on content.

Even stock they sound nice

Kind of tough to do one a week and want them to all be in hot weather.

@@ericneal1872 - Exactly. Kinda hard to get them all during the same weather, week, etc. people will always find a way to tear others down. That and I don’t exactly like the Tundra,,,, not unlike the O C.

They get the trucks from the manufacture at this time of year. If people want to let them use their truck for a test they could do more in the summer.

Lost 60 lbs. Thanks, Kent

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

That’s right!

Thanks

They didnt tow up they ike but they did towing comparisons with and old excursion v10 and suburban 8.1 some months back

Yea I’d love to see a ford v10 or an 8.1 max towing!

They don’t use older trucks after one lost its breaks and could have ended badly

Thanks

He still does videos on his Mr Truck channel.

Drive a semi that's always loaded at 140k, you get bored after 20 miles. Let alone years of driving. It's not a dream to work something to death. Now WOT on a 13-15L diesel vs any gas engine is entire world of difference. My 2020 6.7L powerstroke makes more than 1000lbft from 1400-2400rpm(more useful over the usable range). In the 2 years I've hD this truck(and the 2 years with the prior 2019 6.7) I never had to floor it or even ask for WOT, or 100% engine load on a diesel(no throttle plate)

I've driven a fully loaded V8 truck and trailer up the I-80 pass just east of Salt Lake City and it's actually a bad feeling being floored and running 5,000+rpm up the mountain and over the pass. It would be nice to have some extra available. This poor Hemi was working way to hard.

@@jnk26 I hope you have floored it for fun’s sake at least!

@Jerome The Mechanic in all honesty keeping g the engine in the 1400-2400rpm Band nets faster acceleration the torque is what doing the work. This truck runs from 60mph to the speed limiter in a little over 7 seconds. It's idiotic how's fast the 9000lbs f250 gets up to speed. Makes the 5000lb 400hp/500lbft F150 feel slow. Can't wait to trade up for a 1200lbft F350 is late 2024. If you go back an watch all of the IKEs you will see a pattern. Every truck falls back in the rpm range to its peak torque, then downshifts(increasing the leverage through gearing) then lugs back again to the peak torque. Now the reason the EB and turbocharged engines walk up the IKE is because they have far higher peak torque at a lower rpm(500lbft@3000 vs 460lbft@4100 and 410@4100) this is also why theb3.0 diesels get better MPG, the peak torque is available(more work with less rpm) and pull effortlessly. We all have this affliction with rpm. 475hp@2600rpm is 959lbft but 485hp@6100 is 418lbft(392Hemi). We all assume that 485hp is better than 475hp. But make both engines do the same amount t of work(move the same mass) and you will clearly see which is more capable. Like a 240hp 7.3 powerstroke vs the 240hp 2l S2000 engine. Put that's S2000 engine in the truck chassis and prepare to be disappointed. 240hp@8900 is 141lbft. That 7.3 has more torque at idle tha. The S2000 engine has a t WOT

@@jnk26 I am sure you have a good understanding of power and torque from handling a semi! The new diesels are really amazing. I saw a 2023 in the grey today and it looked sharp. I drive a 2000 7.3 and you are correct, once it gets in its power band it has some get up and go.

THanks

Thanks

naturally aspirated V8's like that can run at 5k+ rpms just fine after all the redline is almost 6k

Idling is worse then high rpms

Yeah I know right constant high rpm like that is very hard on an engine.

@@WillysOverlandno it’s not. That’s just ridiculous you believe that.😂

engines are not designed to idle. Laugh like a kid or do some actual research.@@Thumper68

Thanks

Thanks

Better hurry up! The HEMI is going to go away fairly soon. Next year or two.

@Clifford Montana yea im looking regularly, but hoping prices go down later this year along with interest rates

When inventory is low and demand is high, there is not reason to give discounts

​@@malcolmn.5222especially when some blue oval companies intentionally limit dealer stock

Indeed!

Thanks

Ya they tell us one the downhill but not the uphill.
