Is the 2025 Ram 1500 Tungsten a BETTER luxury truck than a GMC Denali Ultimate? 

It's been a long, difficult day but before I head to bed I have to watch Raiti's Rides and find out if this truck has any zonks!

Nothing better than some late night Raitis Rides truck action!

Man, Ram needs to go off throttle with these insane prices. Much love, Raiti fam!

Ram has had the best interiors for the last 6 years & this truck Will be the best high trim truck on the market, but damn 90k

I wont buy a vehicle without first watching your videos about it you show exactly what we want to know about any vehicle, not even the dealeships salesmen know as much or exoplain the features of a truck like you do, i am a follower and a fan of your funny and informative reviews thank you for your amazing work 😂👍🏽

When I think Ram, I automatically think of a V8 with that rumble.

MY MAN getting the first drive. Love me some Raiti content.

As a ram owner, this is an amazing update, the front end looks amazing, and the side storage is very nice, the one thing I really wish they kept would be the older taillights, theyr'e just amazing, overall, beautiful truck

I think it's a great-looking truck real clean and the interior is very nice but I still think the GMC Denali Ultimate is better... I used to be a Ford fanboy until that GMC Denali ultimate came out now I'm in love with that..

Joe and Matt both posting a review on the new Ram today is awesome!

Behind every good man is a better woman, Lori is a supportive wife, helping Joe live the dream!

Ram hit it out the park! Tks Joe!

I really really love the Ram tungsten, it’s very nice! I love the metal speaker grills and passenger display!!!

The interior is really nice. Ram did their homework. This and the sierra Denali ultimate are neck to neck on nicest interiors for their top trims. I can’t say for the price. 90k is a lot of cheddar. Just wish it had the V8. I miss it

Great Presentation by Joe and fantastic cinematography by Lori🎉

Always we have enjoyed your Reviews! And my car journeys feel proud with Raitis Rides! Iam so grateful.

My only complaint is how the 3.6 went from being the smallest displacement available to the biggest. If the new 3.0 is reliable then ok but I’m a bit concerned.

This Truck looks Sick Nice Jobe Joe love ur Videos

Yes of course Joe & this will be my first truck.

finally a really cool pickup, greetings from thailand.

My first vehicle was a 1977 Dodge Ram Powerwagon - these trucks have really come a long way!

Definitely a game changer and will be looking at this for sure.

The Hurricane is one of the best engines I have driven. I have a Wagoneer and the engine is the one and only thing stellantis do well. Nice review. Thanks Joe

Hey Joe, Love your videos and the great info you give us!! Just wondering if you can review 2024/25 Ram 1500"s that are more middle of the road for us guys that can't afford the top of the line. Thanks

Nice that RAM goin in a different direction..Zonk!!!no power telescopic steering wheel at a 90k + truck!!!...wonder how the Rebel or the new TRX gonna look..thanks Joe and Lori for this exciting segment 😊

A really great detailed review! Thank you for that.... my only wish was that we would have seen the new autonomous driving feature in action.

Man this truck is sharp!

The new Ram hood has a double bulge. I am glad I am over 60 because I am allowed to drive a truck with this much chrome. Joe first to debut my next truck. The bed divider doubles as a bed extender also. All the chrome is so the competition can see themselves as the SST leaves them in the dust.

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video real true 👍 I love new ram look good 👍 💯

More hp and torque, lighter weight, but why lower tow and payload ratings compared to outgoing Hemi? Factor in a nearly negliable mpg improvement, not sure why I would want this motor? Only thing good left is the ZF8 automatic.

You will never have a problem with that panoramic sunroof..😂

So how reliable this new inline6 turbo vs the hemi v8? I have the 2019 ram sport rebel v8 hemi and knock on wood the engine is still fine is it worth to trade or wait?

Price are out of control any more. Just bought a base 2024 BMW X3 and did everything I could to get that below $50k, It only had like one or two extra options on it. But on camera, this truck looks very quick. Really nice on the inside. Just had a Jeep Wrangler for 4 years and about 52k miles. No mechanical issues with anything. I know it’s a cousin of Ram, but thought I would mention it.

What trim packages will the high output engine be available in?

RAM has mastered the grille/front end/ hood, bulging muscular look while also mastering the sophisticated interiors. Then you have the AIR suspension and RAM BOX and now 14" screen. Now you add the HURRICANE engine. WOW! In my opinion that blows out the comp no question. I love my '19 1500 Laramie!

Another quality reveiw!!

You're right, "Hurricane" is an awesome name! That's why I was so surprised not to see it on the 1500 badge the way "Hemi" always was.

I love the RAM brand, and have been driving them over a decade. I loved the 2019 redesign, it really was a world of difference from the previous year. The 2025 looks more like a couple of tweaks than it does a redesign.

I love your videos raiti...but what brand watches do you have on? They look good

Dam that’s nice I bet it looks so good in black love that new front

I’d live in that truck. Completely awesome

Love everything inside and out except the vertical infotainment sceen Would be great if it was horizontal or like my favourite screen like ford f series 12 inch screen

Had to do a double take when I heard you say 235 on the width. Besides that, great video as always!

This truck literally checks all the boxes between a luxury SUV and a 1/2 ton! This was an incredible review - but it left out one major question - did you test the level 2 autonomous driving feature? What does it compare to? Thanks!!

Definitely gonna lose sleep watching this review. Totally worth it though😂😂😂

Reclining seats in the back is a nice touch

So Joe, I will say this, I think RAM did it again, with nailing the style, interior finishes, and technology just like they did back in 2019. I believe they will be getting more Motortrend Awards in the future for that interior. My concern was the engine, and based on your acceleration, it seems like it has plenty of pep. Hopefully, they can at least get that engine in the 2025 Dodge Charger. The only thing that people seem to be concerned about is the 💰💰. If you think about it, with the new 2025 HDs coming later this year, who knows the price of those bad boys 😬

Brother, I love the truck and your channel.

Very nice truck.... but for $90k, did they finally get the ambient temp settings to warm the vehicle when it's under 62 degrees, or will it only heat the cabin when it's under 40 degrees? One of the reasons I sold my TRX. Also, what's the scoop on lane-centering (not lane keep), and potential for hands free driving. GMC and Ford offer those two options, plus better cabin temp settings for less than $80k. In the battle amongst the top trim trucks, these seemingly unimportant things matter. 2/23 edit: To be fair, and as a pro to RAM, I think RAM paid attention to the survey responses. When I got them during my TRX ownership, I reiterated that I was interested in a luxury sport truck. The reason I had purchased the TRX was due to the supercharged engine and closest thing to luxury vehicle in one. Tungsten hits the mark with the Hurricane engine and ultimate overall lux trim. Unfortunately, recently got a great discount on a Lightning which offers the fastest seamless acceleration, nice interior, hands free driving. Still, Tungsten is a very appealing truck.

Lovely video

I love this old truck

Hashtag not me movement...sweeping the nation...bring them to their knees..it already started...every lot in myvtown is overflowing...love it..united me stand..

What a great review- I wonder, does this truck have under seat storage in the back? That’s what I love most about the interior of my Ram

So is the 6.4 Hemi still available on the 2500/3500 series or is it just the S/O and H/O Cummins starting in 2025?

absolutely love those wheels, you are right. Ram has revolutionized the interior of a full size truck. GM and Ford should be taking notes. Ford used to be #1 but not anymore. GM are about the same as far as interiors now but Ram is top notch and will be that way for years to come. GM need to finally add a panoramic roof to be in the competition.

I fking love this truck! Loved your review. Sorry for my French but damn. This is revolutionary, as you said!

Great review. Awesome truck. But instead of vents for knee caps in the back scrap the roof speakers and give me roof or at least door frame vents. Anyway great work team Raiti

$90k and no mighty V8, sheeeeeeeeeeeeeit!

Hi Joe! Wheres the 2025 Ramcharger PHEV first drive? Thanks!🎉

Does the tungsten have a camera looking at the bed like GMC has to see if anything blows away? A camera on the third brake light

In my opinion, 90,000$ for this vehicle actually sounds relatively good. The amount of technology, the design language, the materials, and practicality could rival mercedes in my opinion. This is way more luxury than I would have expected, I don't even like trucks but I genuinely think this is pretty damn great edit: the manual steering wheel adjustment is way better if you ask me. It takes 2 damn seconds to adjust it, meanwhile the motorized ones move slowly, it just didn't add enough value to justify incorporating another fail point of technology

They took a lot of ideas from the GMC (the larger RAM looks like the large GMC), the side step (I think GMC does it better). I am a GMC truck guy, but I tell you what, that Ram is really nice!

That’s a bad ass truck

One critique I do have with you zonking the lack of a separate rear AC control is the extra cost in terms of both money and internal space, because that feature would surely require a second AC/heating unit just for the rear. On a Wagoneer, sure, the sheer size of the rear justifies having a whole extra unit. But on a two-row pickup truck, I just don't see it being worth the trouble.

Joe thank you for bringing one my favorite truck. Now Joe I would love for you to review the new Hummer ev 2x suv or the pickup 2024

Amazing Pick-up .. Amazing Vehicle .. 👍👍👍

Love this truck amazing interior Ram did a fantastic job.

I prefer the 2018 Tungston trim. The brushed instead of chrome was cool.

29:25 And I can imagine listening to KoЯn, System of a Down, and Killswitch Engage, my top 3 favorite bands while reclining in the truck! I like it 👍🏻

It looks great and it's powerful. The Ram is already an iconic truck.

I can’t afford this truck at all but I do love watching videos about it :)

This is a nice truck, but I still prefer the Denali Ultimate with the 6.2L V8!

Joe, where are the tow hooks needed to pull all the other trucks out of the mud? Seems like that is a miss if this is supposed to be a real truck. Am I mistaken? Thoughts?

I am sold on this vehicle! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Impressive truck!

90k for a v6 truck is insanity 😂

Raiti please don’t ever stop making car reviews! I love watching you talk about cars I can’t afford😂✌🏼

Where are you going to put the front plate. It’s mandatory in my state and that front sensor is in the way.

Beautiful

I want to hear that system! Other than that I think it needs bigger tire treads. Did it come with Gray Poupon? If so then I’m sold!

Thanks for your detailed review of this 5th generation. My question is can this luxury truck be leased and I hope they make a black edition of this model and instead of chrome replace it with dark chrome. Thank you!

Best ram ever. No more worthless old junk 5.7l hemi v8 engines. America is finally catching up to the 20th century!

Nice looking truck

I like they went back simple I think they were trying to do too much in the grille and bumper area previous models. If they add a little wider fender flares for appearances in the front it would be the truck to buy

WOW....the color, the trim, the wheels, the features, if I was in the market this new RAM would be at the top of the list. I currently drive a 1997 Dodge Intrepid, the most reliable car I have ever owned. The 3.3 V6 has almost 250,000 miles on it and never been touched. As I'm not into power much anymore, I would order the 3.6 V6. Thanks Joe and Lori for this review.

Man… this is a gorgeous truck. If I was rich, I’d definitely buy one of these!

For the $ it better be nice!. Love it Joe.

Stellantis/Ram, I would like a Tradesman trim with the ability to choose more standalone options like: the 540hp SST HO engine, Vinyl seats, Projector LED headlights and taillights. 20-inch wheels, 5'7" bed, digital screen delete.

A little bit changed.still looks good

Awesome truck

Love it.

Yes it is! but at what cost? The discounts will be the deciding factor.

Wow.... Very thorough review and answered most of the questions I had. However, there is one thing in particular I did not hear you mention and that is what octane does the Tungsten use? With it being a HO I'm thinking it requires premium fuel. Secondly, my gripe with Ram is that at the price point of these trucks you'd think the service center would be separate from Dodge so that you could get an actual loaner whenever your expensive truck is in the shop for an extended period.

I like the GMC Denali interior better. I like the horizontal display over the vertical display in the RAM. Plus the 6.2L V8.

So they get rid of v8 for gas mileage reason yet this has worse mpg? How does that work

I also love to watch Raiti!!!! You’re the best man!!!

I'm not broke but I would never pay anything over 50k , why these auto manufacturers are deliberately screwing us is pathetic. People need to get together and boycott. Like arrange something over RU-vid like the Game Stop stock price deal. Seriously

This is a really nice pickup and it has a very luxurious interior. $90k is a lot of money but I think if you looked at a Denali Ultimate with all the bells including Super Cruise you would be around $100k or more.

My son, he's 4 loves you guys Joe and Lori! ZONK

Ram stepped up in a BIG way. It's competitively priced compared to its competition. My money is patiently waiting on the Ramcharger Limited.
