bro, ive been watching videos of the new ram n chevy even before they came out. so many dudes making videos of it, most of em, old dudes with "lots of experience" n i gotta say not a single video other than this one has been more accurate when filming and pinpointing every aspect of the trucks. you did it just right, detailed, but not to much, you only talked about the trucks the whole time and never got off of it giving unnecessary comments n opinions like the rest does. I could go on, but ill just say, i was finally satisfied in a single video what i wanted to see. camera angles and distant when refering to certain parts or specs are really important u did great bro. alot better than those old dude that have "lots of experience". So thank you!
Just the video I was looking for ! I watched the video first and changed my decision back to the Ram before I read the reviews ! Ram also has interior saddle bags on each side, use as a ice chest or a place to keep your tie downs and gloves! I use in my 2013 daily . P.S. Watch the gas mileage.. lower than you will expect . I feel It Is better for you to watch first and then read.. GREAT JOB !
When most people turn to these type of vids we are already sick of salespeople and thier bias opinions. Or a vid with one agenda to persuade our decision .We are just seeking the truth. Thanx again..... I Just Had a 19 gunmetal gray leveled and loaded drive past in front of me while on a sidewalk..it was like slow motion! THERE SHE IS ! GOING TO BE MINE VERY SOON 🤩🤩🤩🤩!
Always been a diehard Chevy guy..... but honestly for the money ram takes the win. That interior is wild. Chevy looks too cheap for the price. And that air ride suspension is awesome.
@@codydb95 Give it time and it will be better. As with most vehicles there's flaws to be expected with new technology. From what I've read they're working on putting a much better air suspension system in the new rams that can handle harsh winters and heavy loads.
I'm a Chevy guy, and I disagree. Ram spent too much time on their interior (which looks great), and not enough time on the exterior. That 12" screen is impressive, but it also looks like it can be a huge distraction when driving. As for the exterior, it just doesn't do it for me, it's just too square on the sides and the back. It has no interesting style or curves (looks like a woman with no boobs or ass), and the tail lights look outdated and boring. Silverado is a more balanced truck inside and out, is very curvaceous, and comes with a BEASTLY 6.2L engine, which Ram cannot touch. But to each their own. Cheers!
Eric E Gutierrez I agree with most of what you said, however, since the frame on the Silverado isn’t E-coated like it is on the Ram and F-150, I would never buy one.
Brian Very trivial non factor for me in South TX. An after thought when considering the purchase of a new truck. Ive worked on my truck before and it’s really not that messy and the wax/grease coating doesn’t come off as easy as one thinks unless you physically scrape it off. Chevrolet still just does so many other things so much better than all of the other brands. I think they’ll eventually switch to e-coating though.
Eric E Gutierrez Perhaps not in Texas, but in snow country where they salt the roads, state of the art corrosion protection from the factory is anything but trivial.
I sold my 2016 GMC truck with only 17000 miles on it after test driving a 19 Ram Limited. After 1 month in it I can say it's the best truck I've ever owned. I drove Fords as well. The interior, ride quality and tech can't be beat. The e-torque motor makes the stop/start and shifting seamless. I usually hate stop/start but you don't even notice it on this truck. Same with the lane departure. It just nudges you over if you drift. My wifes 19 Honda Pilot shakes the wheel when you drift. I hate that. Also if my wife had to drive this truck it parks itself perfectly saving my wheels from curb rashes LOL. The key fob will lower the trucks air ride for loading cargo, climbing in the bed or hooking up a trailer. The 12" uconnect is the mic drop moment against any other truck. It looks and sounds great!
The 2019 Ram looks great and the interior is leaps and bounds better then GM or Ford but the 5.7 doesn't get it done for me personally. I've owed two 3.5 EB's and now a 6.2 and love the power of both. Wish Ram would step up their game with some extra H/P and torque soon.
@@gmrtg1414 I had the 5.3L so the Ram is an upgrade for me. Not a fan of the EB, to many things to break. Give me a normal aspirated V8 engine. I will eventually put a cold air intake, exhaust and a tune on the truck. That will wake it up. All these new engines are detuned for the EPA. Honestly it's enough for me right now. It pulls my trailer just fine
The 5.7 hemi and the 6.2 are jst about neck to neck the 6.2 jst barely pulls away in a quarter mile race other than that it looks neck-to-neck you tone tht hemi shit it will eat tht 6.2 i wish ram would put a hemi 6.2 in there 1500 be no competition even a 6.1 hemi it says a lot for the 5.7 hemi its up there with the big boys
11DS450XMX I hope they never change this engine, it’s absolutely bulletproof. Ford’s ecoboost is what drove me away from Ford, new engines are something I stay away from, not enough real world testing to see how long they last.
The ram also comes with 22" wheels. 1/2 point for the air suspension is low. I have a 19 limited with the air suspension and it is light years better than a conventional suspension.
Park one next to an f150 and tell me it's not some what designed the same and then look at the gauges and tell me chevy didn't somewhat mimick the f150 and sitting in a chevy 2019 you're right it feels cheap.
Between the 3 chevy offers the cheapest options for V8s. If you want a ram with a V8 you wont pay a dollar under $40k. Idk ford's prices because they're too trash for me to look at
The chevy I think will hold up longer then the ram, I'm not some crazy chevy fanboy, but chevys have had the stereotype of being more reliable and durable then the ram.
Chevy truck haven't been reliable since the 90's now its all cheap the hidden storage on the back seat is Wiggly when open not even on tight its ugly to like they are trying to make it look like a Camaro ram all day
@@dklein8207 really man like i said up tell the mid 90's trucks were good trucks only the cars suck like the Cobalt tht piece of crap was a death trap multiple lawsuits for the key ignition turning off on it own while driving causing accidents they dependable until wht 89k known people tht had Cavaliers those things were piece of shit also getting about jst under 90k the 07 to 2012 Silverado worst model ever the had horrible transmission many of them were lemons like said they are not made like they use to be many cheap parts then they sucker u in to paying lots for it
paul espinosa 5.3 and 6.2 are both bulletproof. How is that? Chevy trucks have been the most reliable since trucks were being produced. Take that Italian junk and cram it. Just a bunch of tech that will be faded out because it simply won't keep working. And have fun putting in 16 spark plugs and buying them. And the crappy transmissions. I can go on and on

I had f150 Silverado and RAM I will never ever we will go back to anything than RAM. The power the comfort the interior The looks, even the economy for such a big vehicle 600 kms with 85 bucks. The towing capacity. 400 hp. I just changed the stock muffler and l installed the flow master outlaw and no rear resonators l got nice deep sound and I installed pedal commander and she became a Rocket.. I smoke bimmers benz Audis Infiniti's porsch...u name it ... When they catch up with me they just look at me like WTF you got in that truck bro? I just give them the snoopy dawg look. Ta ra ra ra!!!😎 love it... RAM Rocks!!!!
I was going to pull the trigger on a Ram Laramie 1500 late this past summer - the interior is the best of any truck - PERIOD. But then I discovered an avalanche of complaints about the 'Hemi Engine Tick', which has been ongoing and unfixed for years. I went to a dealer and experienced this engine ticking noise at startup on two, cold (as in unstarted for a few days) 2019 Rams on the dealer lot..... clatter, clatter, clatter and then it would go away in about 10 seconds...... that was enough to run away. What is happening in that 'dry' startup ? The 2019 GM trucks have the WORST seats in the truck segment. They are as hard and unforgiving as sitting on a cement block. I finally decided on a 2018 Ford F150 Lariat, with a lot of bells and whistles... and I absolutely love it!! Smooth ride, super comfortable seats, and just well thought out. Plus, no worries of it rusting out like a Chevy or Dodge. This is the first Ford I have ever owned.... and it is nothing short of amazing in my opinion. That said, if Dodge had a better reliability rep, and no engine clattering issues and manifold bolt shearing problems, I would have bought one in a heartbeat. Although, I think the front grille is a very poor design....
at Jay Wolfe these are my sentiments also a better High Country Interior and for me the comparison the Chevy wins hands down I really really like the exterior of a Chevy but the RAM looks really good as well I think the Chevy wins though
Zamora that was too hard for them to figure out. GM is still selling that bland, cheap leather and plastic molded interior. The best interior I’ve seen that GM has ever made on a 1500 chassis is the Savana/Express conversion vans. But then again, I believe the Explorer company out of Warsaw Indiana boosts the interior up for them.
Dan the Mopar Man but it’s gonna be more expensive to own and it’s gonna depreciate worse because Chrysler does not have their act together in terms of reliability. GM is falling too but Chrysler is at the way bottom
@@Jaymac720 Dude your not telling me anything I don't already know. However if it was my money I'd go with the Ram. See I've had both brands I owned 3 GM and 2 Chrysler vehicles and I've had better luck with Mopar then I ever had with GM my last Mopar vehicle was a 2007 Dodge Caliber and it lasted me 258,000 miles before it was destroyed in a wreck it never leaked any oil or left me stranded. I can't say that with the GM vehicles 2 of the 3 I had broke down and left me stranded. And the 3rd and current GM vehicle has been a pain in my butt since I got the Damn thing. It has been in the shop more times then both my Chrysler vehicles put together. If it wasn't for employment and money issues I suffered that Damn car would been gone a looooooooog time ago. I'm just lucky that my job is close by to my apartment otherwise I would have been screwed. So in conclusion if given a choice between a GM vehicle or Chrysler vehicle let's see go with a Chrysler vehicle that I've had good fortune with have had a few minor problems but otherwise got me where I need to go each and every time and never left me stranded. Or stay with a brand that is left me stranded at least three to four times and has cost me a s*** ton of money to keep going to the point where I've actually had to ask my folks to help me repair my vehicle cuz I couldn't afford to I think I'll stick with the brand that is giving me the least amount of trouble and that is Mopar.
@@Jaymac720 You dont read much? Off the top of my head Charger, Durango,pacifica and wrangler won best quality in class by strategic visions in their 23rd year. Dodge and Ram ( FCA) CLEANED UP IN THE PRESTIGIOUS BEST OF TEXAS AUTO WRITERS AWARDS, SOMETHING LIKE 15 OUT OF 25. BY FAR THE BEST OUT OF ANY COMPANY. THE RAMS AND CHARGERS AND JEEPS SHOWING EXTREMELY WELL. LOOK IT UP IF YOU NEED TO.
That was 2017 i believe. 2018??? DODGE WON BEST OVERALL QUALITY FOR A MASS MARKET AUTO CO. CHARGER AND CHALLENGER AND JEEP ALL WON TOO. RAM WON FOR HIGHEST QUALITY HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS 2500/3500
@@soxfunny98 Yes I believe I heard the same thing as well and I believe that was from JD Power and Associates and those guys they don't rank just any vehicle they ranked the vehicle based off its record and also based off its quality and how long it lasted
@guy proulx Its just wrong to say all the cash goes to italy. Plenty of those profits end up here. Yes the headquarters are there but like boeing.in planes.and the coke co in atlanta?? All the profits get spead out all over.
This comparison is based on luxury and the options. Where is the test drive? Where is the drag race/et's? Why was their no comparison of the 2 trucks pulling equally laden trailers going up the gauntlet. The Ram won for femininity. But for balls with testosterone Chevy/GMC.
I just purchased my RAM 1500 Laramie Limited yesterday and after driving it back home, I can't think of ever wanting to drive anything else. The ride is very quiet and smooth with a crisp clear sound system. Its an extremely amazing vehicle. RAM hit it out of the park with this one.
All those different ratings, yet you never even mentioned how much more comfortable the seats are in the Ram. Both up front, and in the back. This coming from someone who owned a 2019 Silverado for 9 months, before returning back to the Ram family. I never should have left.
"the chevy has a 8.94" rear view mirror while the ram has a 8.25. 10 points go to chevy" ...Seems like you had to look hard to find characteristics that beat the Ram. Cant even compare the 2
If only Ram offered something that could compete with the 6.2L and that glorious 10 speed transmission I would grab one because their interior is INSANE
I've just recently purchased the 2020 1500 and the tech is so advanced and too numerous to list, far beyond what you would expect, even in a luxury truck, but I must say Kudos to Ram for pushing the bar to a level of refinement and technology that knocked the big two on their heels and now they are scrambling playing catch up. Ram took the essence of a luxury car, put it in a truck and topped it off with a 5.7l hemi V8 and put the whole truck world on its ear.
I currently own my second Chevy Silverado a 2017 LTZ Z71. I'm glad that I bought one in the that year. No auto start/stop and having the Z71 package, my gauges have a carbon fiber image going on in the back ground. The 2019 Silverado gauges look like something that belongs on a $2,000 lawn tractor in my opinion.
Long time Chevy owner, but I just purchased my first Ram. Thousands less in price, better handling and ride, better towing, and better appearance. Chevy people must have been wasted when they designed the front of the new Silverado, the thing is Uugly. I can't believe I am saying it, my new Ram seems like the best truck I have ever owned, but time will tell. Long term performance is what I want, and Chevy has let a lot of people down since 2007.
I’ve owned Ford, Chevy and Ram. 2012 I owned my first Ram Sport 1500. Never looked back, blew away my Chevy Z71. Reliability has not been an issue either. My Ram trucks have been bullet proof.
I prefer the Silverado's exterior because it looks much more agressive. The ram does have a better looking interior but looks just to complicated and too much is happening. I prefer the simpler looks of the Chevy. Although I do agree it can use better materials.
Exactly! U took that opinion right out of my mind. I think a good man n all common ppl think the sams, i always hated the chevy, but this new look, oh man oh man, it looks beautiful! Sexy n TOUGH at the same time, but the interior tho. If they would just match rams interior or come close, there would not be any doubt of so many buyer n would go straight for the chevy, no 2nd thoughts
I honestly prefer Chevy more then RAM. Ram (in my opinion) looks like it was built specifically for luxury standards while adding 4x4 drive into it. Chevy has luxury, but it’s not the same. To me, it’s more simpler and easy to navigate, while still giving you the best off-road experience possible with Chevy (so far). But, sure Ram might have decent interior, but Chevy doesn’t need a 10/10 luxury interior to make a better truck. But yet again this is only my opinion, so don’t give me unnecessary hate.
No hate at all, but clearly you are a loyal Chevy owner....I find in truck ownership, loyalty rules the day...even blindly....I have owned 4 F150s and 3 Dodge Rams....Ram all the way...I have never owned a Chevy...just find their design boring....boxy and square....they are all expensive and work well, but when you walk out at 7am to go to work every morning, you gotta like what you see....that's the bottom line...and that is up to the owner
The RAM's 4X4 system with Air Suspension (way more clearance), skid plates, and 4 modes of operation make it superior off-road. It is close cousin to the Jeep and very capable. GM isn't comparable. I looked at them all and ordered a Limited. Ram's having record sales with this new truck.
The price of these trucks are ridicules, All for a 1/2 ton truck come on give me a break. This is a total joke. Having just said this. The Review is one of the best one out. Good Job very objective and seems to me to not be biased in anyway. Just facts and information.
No other vehicle under $100k compares to Ram's heated/ventilated/powered front and rear seats, panoramic window, excess of real leather and wood trim, 12-inch infotainment system and air suspension, all mated to the world renown 8-speed zf transmission
I’ve also known quite a few people switch to ram in the past few years and not one of them has been disappointed whether they came from Ford, Chevy, Nissan, or Toyota
I have the 2019 Dodge Ram 4x4 Limited and absolutely love it! Let me say this. I gave every company out there that has a pick-up truck a fair shake. No fan boy for anyone. And to be honest, I hated the idea of a Chrysler/Fiat Motor co. vehicle even in the running. It was at the bottom of my list the Ram. However, that obviously all changed and in a dramatic way. I wish in the review they showed the Limited with the 22-inch Tires and Rims as the one's on this review didn't give it a fair justice with the cheap looking 20's. Not one truck out there is without it's drawbacks. For protection I purchased a lifetime Mopar warranty for peace of mind. My second choice was the High Country for the exterior design and 6.2 motor. The interior just killed it. With Ford, it's now getting a bit long in the tooth although still nice, but don't want a Turbo motor period... Nice job Ram!
Darynm; we have the same opinion. I never thought I'd be a Dodge Ram guy but after driving everything the Dodge was the clear winner for me I have a 2009 1500 Laramie with max care warranty. No one else offers a warranty this great and the Mopar parts are very premium. I am a Ram guy for good. They have earned my business through great treatment after the sail. I currently have 360,000 miles and the truck looks like it 1 year old instead of 10 years.
@@sergiupuscasu2496 Correct Sergiu. I just bought the 2019 1500 ram fully loaded for 60k which was my max without financing. The raptor was at least 10k more and I didn't want to borrow and pay interest on it. I usually keep my car/truck for at least 8 years.
practical guy you are clearly a Chevy fanboy. Don’t tell me you’re not. Speaking of longevity, I bet my 2014 Tundra will outlast your GM piece of scheisse by 1,000,000 miles and more.
@@jessedavis3641 not true. Real truck buyers who aren't always chasing the latest thing will keep their trucks for over 5 years, some even over 10 years.
@@Steph-lv5fg so you're saying a Toyota. That's basically what the 2nd hand ones are. A bit more expensive than the competition and very easy to fix (that's IF something ever goes wrong).
Here's the thing. I've never seen a limited without 22inch Rims so that's a weird one there. Also that's not the top powertrain model for the Ram. There's an option for the E Torque System that gives the Ram an additional 150 foot pounds of torque. So when fully equipped just like the Chevy with the OPTIONAL 6.2 V8 which is only available on the top models unlike the E Torque system on the ram which you can get on any and all models of the Ram even there V6 models the chevy is not the most powerful. When doing reviews I would strongly suggest knowing what you are reviewing to be fair on everything. I love Chevy. My grandmother retired from the Shreveport Truck and Bus group in LA but I love my Rams too and the fact that Chevy runs in my bloodline and I get the family discount I still choose Ram and have been for the last 4 trucks should say something. Oh and I use my truck for a truck too not just a gas guzzling grocery getter or to say i drive a truck. Ram Hands down.
i spend hours watching youtube videos on trucks. i have to say you have presented probably the best point by point truck comparison video between the new Chevy and the RAM that is currently on RU-vid. you handled the camera very well; spoke in a calm and consistent manner; and presented very accurate comparisons of each feature you were talking about. i couldn't even find fault with how you were scoring each truck as each point awarded to a particular truck was explained and very fair. this was the level of "objective and fair" comparison between two truck manufacturers that you would expect to see from a "historic" auto critic like Consumer Reports. however, CR has been a "politically biased" group of "know nothing millennials" now for several years. the level of fairness and professionalism that you have presented is an example that all the other "youtube experts" should follow. i am a RAM owner and enjoyed your video immensely.
Ram focuses so much on their interior to attract people who only focus on appearance and not performance. Have a co-worker who has a 2019 RAM and had problems since day one. I had a 2011 chevy silverado with no issues. Now I own a 2020 Silverado and I'm satisfied!
Air ride is great - however , i doubt the longevity. These are expensive to fix. RAM has better engine , but Silverado's transmission is better - in terms in shift feel and reliability . RAM interior is better and more equipped with dated tech. That huge screen ia buggy and crashes a lot based on current owners . Ill take Silverado on this one - just because less headache witj regards to ownership. In paper RAM wins , but overall realibility is a downer .
@@MeetTheSLAYER hahaha its a Fiat product Ford has better value than the dodge, the only thing good about the dodge is their cummins engine especially the 24valve everything around the Cummings is garbage
Great review! I own a GMC Sierra myself. Love it. 100 thousand miles with no issues. Best truck I’ve owned. I don’t know why people keep talking about the inside of the Ram. Ram doesn’t compare to Chevy in reliability. No need to look inside until it does.
I have a ram limited. and all i can say is the air ride makes the difference in long trips. And the sound system is great.. Interior makes you feel like a millionare. It feels like a dream on the highway.
Mr. Well too bad it doesn’t. GM is saving money by using recycled interior designs and plastic tailgates on lower end trucks. Not to mention the cheap work truck Silverado has the same interior as this high country, so you can just save some cash, and get the cheaper alternative.
I’ve had fords and Chevrolet trucks over the past 30 years. I bought a newused 2014 Ram 1500 Longhorn 2 years ago. I’ve put 40k miles on it so far no problems, just a battery and tires. By far best driving truck I’ve ever owned. Everyone that sees the truck ask the same thing why a dodge? I say nope it’s a Ram and my next one will be a 2019. Waiting on some depreciation loss with someone else’s pocket book
I went from Ram, to Chevy, and back to Ram. The Rams interior and exterior features (air ride and ram boxes) are amazing. I still love the Silvys, but the Rams are getting tougher to beat. And I know, people will say the Rams aren't as reliable. But my Ram I had before was MUCH more reliable than my newer Silverado, it wasn't even close. Which is why I got another Ram. But check both for sure.
@@nickcaruth8939 LOL you obviously know nothing if that's why you think the chevy is superior. HAHAHAH! Sorry the interior is quite the killer. Isn't it a general consensus Chevy interiors SUCK! Yeah, plus just look at!!!!! LOL
Ram really went all out on the new 1500. For YEARS the ragged on the rams old styling, poor safety, and its general lack of ability to compete with its peers. Finally Ram has come into the limelight. They really did their research and found what their customer base wanted. I feel that they will be be seeing a lot more fierce competition when the 2021 F150 debuts. Due to way the truck luxury market is going, it’s not going to be about how luxurious the truck is- it’s going to be “how luxurious can it be AND still remain affordable to the masses?” The amount of money we are a country are spending on these things is going to drive prices waaaaay up. Great video.
I’m a Chevy guy usually but Chevy has to step up their game. This new ram is taking trucks to another level! Silverados are too over priced to get a new one.
You know everybody says that but I just went truck shopping and Chevy was the only dealer discounting their high-end models 20-25K. I ended up picking up a high country for low 40's and I originally wanted the ram, but it would have cost 15k more as the dealers were not discounting like the local chevy dealers. And I also checked out ford, both ford and ram were offering almost no discounts.
Chevy actually priced their trucks the same as previous generation. With all the testing and money for investment they did not up the price like Ram. For the Ram remember you are paying for the high tech features. And high tech features will be outdated causing the car to loose value.
@:] hideous? They are not hideous at all, they look handsome and original. Unlike the Chevy's taillights which took a lot of inspiration from the Toyota Tundra.
Hey guys, I owned 2010 Ram 1500 Hemi 5.7 with 145,250 miles on it. No problems, I just did the spark plug, rotor/brakes changed, oil changed every 3,000-4,000 miles synthetic oil on it. I have a couple master mechanic friend work Ford dealership, Chevy dealership and Toyota. They bought Ram 1500 hemi. FORD - ENGINE/TRANSMISSION problem while Chevy-wiring problem. Ram was compared to Toyota the most reliable truck on the market. Peace!
You made a lot of good remarks about the Ram without rewarding points, yet every time you had something good to say about the Chevy it received at least a half point? Let’s be a little more consistent. How can 2” more legroom in the back seat not be worthy of at least a half a point? I was a bowtie guy my whole life, but the ‘19 Ram destroys the ‘19 Silverado hands down by a landslide, especially in aesthetics. Great sound and video quality, but it speaks volumes that even with your Chevy bias, the Ram still came out on top. Should have been a much bigger gap in points, but none the less.
The scoring is one point for significant items, half point for less significant things. No points are awarded if there is a less than 5% difference between the two. Thanks for watching!
There were features he left out, like the fact that RAM has a locking rear diff, huge points there and the fact that you can get the RAMBOXES for additional storage. I am not sure if he awarded more points for RAMs bigger towing and payload capacity.
Sorry but I don’t need a stupid iPad in my truck. That is the dumbest thing I’ve seen. I’ll take the high country hands down. Ram will rust in a few years anyway
I am glad ram won. They both have their own cool features for sure. Great review. Do not forget about the RAM BOX option with the cargo management system. Ohhh e torque too. You did a great side by side comparison too. Thank you for a job well done. I learned lots about both.
The Ram could come with gold nuggets in every glove box and storage area plus an endless supply of cold beer and I would still chose the Silverado or Sierra any day of the week. Heck, I'd even buy a Ford before the Ram.
@@CheersToYou007 Thanks for asking. A personal preference, obviously similar to you but with different experiences and filters. The truck's appearance does nothing for me and I can't get past that one single issue to even look at things like the engine and suspension. I won't degrade this discussion by talking about my awful past experiences with Chrysler products. That was then, this is now...........BUT it still influences me.
Great review. you only miss one thing the Ram headlights do swivel around corners and if you're loaded with weight. it will adjust so you want blind oncoming traffic. it should have been rewarded 0.5
I have a 2009 Ram with 360,000 miles. I noticed the clatter long time ago but it isn't that bad that it bothers me. The truck is holding up well and I will be purchasing a new Ram eventually. I was born into a Ford family but Mopar is now my family favorite
I'm an F150 owner so I'm not biased either way , however I found that you were very kind in your comparison to the Chevrolet. The Chevrolet just looks cheaper everywhere when compared to the Ram. The interior in the Chevrolet looks like a carry over from the previous truck and the plastics look plain cheap! You mentioned that the Chevrolet running boards move rearward, but didn't mention that the Ram boards fold out automatically to enter and exit the truck. What's the purpose of having the more powerful V-8 if it won't tow as much as the Ram? You also said looks are subjective. this may be true, but the styling on the Chevy isn''t gonna win over any new truck buyers, ( the GMC Denali looks better) The Ram just looks cleaner and more upscale.
Ram brand has always set the bar with it's new models. I remember a few years back when the Colorado and Canyon came out they made a commercial talking about its triple sealed doors and that was the only highlight worth mentioning in the 30 sec add. Ram been doing triple sealed doors since the 90s in their trucks. The 2.3 duramax in those gm trucks? Made by FCAs VM motri company that supplies the ecodiesel for the ram 1500. When the 3rd gen came out all Chevy and Ford guys mocking the huge "man eating grill" now today Ford and GM grills are larger then rams. From small tech to big design Qs Ram set the bar. 8 speed transmission in a pickup back in 2013 was unheard of now we have the competition making 10speeds and 8 speed was finally released for GM in 2016 but facing major issues even till today. ram has torque flight transmissions. One of the most reliable in the industry and used in many proper automobiles. I'm stating FACTS here, look it up. My family and I have owned many brands Mopar always got the job done for us. Hemi engines are Very reliable seeing 250k miles out of them is no big deal anymore. Let's not even get started with the Cummins.. industry leading reliability and performance. look up Real world testing on dyno GM and Ford dont make the power they advertise either. Fan boys are quick to call out transmission failers and front end issues this isn't the past anymore great products/quality coming from FCA. Infact, so much now GM is putting them in their ads to throw shade. Ram sales are creeping up. And to top it off Ram brand will be produced in America when factories are tooled up. Not Mexico and now coming from China soon like Ford and GM.
I've generally been more of a chevy guy, but dodge is putting out some really nice stuff these days! Let's hope they've stepped it up from the durability aspect as well.
I learned that features alone won’t get you places if the engine isn’t reliable. That’s why i rather have the 5.3, 6.2, Tundra 5.7, ford 5.0 over the Hemi 5.7.
I've been deciding between the 2. Chevrolet is my truck from growing up, I recently purchased a Jeep Grand Cherokee Sterling Edition. I got spoiled with the modern day Technology. With that, I was leaning towards the RAM. The Chevy appearance is better on the outside, but the RAM is not hard on the eyes either. For my use and knowing of that Adaptive Cruise Control technology and the large screen, tow capacity, comfort for the family...this video sold me on the RAM. I have driven both trucks and the RAM is better to me. Thanks for making the video
