It's a shame the GT isn't a package that comes with the 392 Hemi. With the 392, this package would have been the best of all worlds. The 392 would also make the price more reasonable.

I wish the GT came with the 6.4, but I know RAM will never do it, for reasons best known to them.

I bought my ram rebel gt midnight edition at sticker (because I ordered it) the dealerships are selling these 7k over sticker. Now when I was looking at the TRX (which I wanted) they are going for 96k but then also factor in taxes so roughly around 110k (with 60k down your payment will be around 1100$ monthly). Factor in you need high octane fuel, also factor in you get 7 mpg and then factor in the cost of rising gas prices 🤔. I don't know about you, but I make decent money and I still can't justify a TRX. You can only go so fast and how often are you off roading. Now if money Isn't an issue, yes by all means throw them bills.

My biggest issue with the TRX is that I'd likely lose my license within a month or so. This package makes a lot more sense.

I feel like the GT line should have used the 6.4 hemi its super underrated and is a great middle ground between the hellcat motor and the 5.7

I would love to see a comparison between this and the F150 Tremor! Both look like badass trucks.

I opted to load a Rebel instead of spring for the TRX. Can't say I regret it.

I actually prefer a gear selector that rotates to change gears because I'm a C6 quadriplegic I drive a wheelchair accessible 2018 Chrysler Pacifica and with an adapter that gives me 3 point to hook my fingers on I can easily change gear with the rotating dial vs a normal shifter like in that ram GT is unusable for me.

Do I prefer the dial shifter in my ram 1500 vs a column shifter? No. Does it clear up space and isn’t a big deal to get used to? Yes. Plus with the gear lever you lose the bench seat which is more useful in my experience

Wow! was really excited and looking forward to this truck/package when Andre showed us the truck several months ago. At that time I believed pricing was only suppose to be an additional package charge over the "lower priced" rebel. But $75K is Fereaking Re- dic-u-lus!. I too love that exhaust note and console shifting....you didn't even mention the "paddles" for the trans shifting. Damn cool truck but NO way can I stomach that price. I'm guessing the new Chevrolet z71 will probably be a better deal for the money with a truly trick suspension. Mfg./Dealers just seem to think they can charge anything they want for a 1/2 ton truck these days and we'll pay it. I guess a lot will but no can do for me.

“Budget” and $70k truck should never be in the same sentence 😂

I love the way my Ram sounds, but when you're towing long distances over hills and mountains, that sweet sound gets old reverberating off the trailer.

Traded in my 2020 Rebel for the new hybrid Tundra. If I’m not happy with the new Tundra this will be my new ride. Love the G/T package.

Yeah sorry the difference in the GT being a 5.7 with an intake and exhaust vs a base 6.2 supercharged that comes with way more power. Now if I was dodge I would have atleast given it the 6.4 common. Yes then I might be able to get behind it possible being better but only in price and atheistics. That’s like dressing up and rt charger and saying it’s better than the shittiest hellcat charger and selling it at a hellcat price. It’s better than the regular 5.7 ram but it’s not worth the price when you can do that and more to a regular 5.7 for less if done yourself or even at a shop through aftermarket means. This is one of those cases where your not getting what you payed for but with inflation and restriction coming they are gonna use that against us knowing the v8 is going to die. Sad really.

Nothing about the truck says $72k... $80k out the door. Jesus, you can get a really nice used Bentley for less than that. No wonder the used vehicle market is so high.. nobody wants these overpriced pieces of crap that won’t hold up for more than 5-6 years. Older is better now.

There is only one logical engine choice that should of been offered in the “GT” but Ram didn’t want to hurt TRX sales and that’s sad.

I bought a '21 Ram 1500 Bighorn 4x4 w/offroad package 9 months ago. I've been a full-size truck owner for 45 years. This Ram 1500 is HUGE! I traded in a '15 Ram 1500 4x4 Quad Cab. That thing had great turning radius. This thing is a dang barge. Not a fan of the portrait mode screen and the knob shifter. Thinking of selling. 10k miles.

I like the knob shifter better, because, that give me a bigger center console, were i can put more crap that i chew on most of the time,like an apple. And easyer access to my phone.

I have a 2019 Ram, love Ram trucks but I hate the shift nob

Roman's hairbrush...subtle👍

Rebel GT's a nice truck but a Budget TRX *it ain't* no matter how you shake it. Everything in the $3k GT package looks to be interior & appearance package stuff.

Any idea if the exhaust is actually an in house product for ram? Or is it a rebranded corsa product like Mopar did with their exhaust products? I ask because obviously it sounds good and if people wanted they could just buy the exhaust.

Some of your best work right here Nathan. Very honest no pressure or stress in your voice. Nice $50k truck too.

Can you get non etorque and just throw a pro charger or whipple on it? Don’t see why not

Like my dad would say 'it's loud, but at least it's slow!' I don't know for me I think I'd wait and order a mid/well spec Trex for about 85k and have a truly special truck that will hold its value we'll. That's just my 2 Satoshis

I'll keep my 21 Rebel ecodiesel and get 26-28 mpg. Interesting to me how we have all this technology and still have only increased mpg by what a mile or two.

Ordered a TRX level 1 in December 2021 for $73k… arrival this week!

Way to much for that. That is a nice truck but not $71k I bought a used fully loaded 802a 2018 Raptor with 25k miles for $60k last year and yes that's not a bargain. It's much more powerful then the 5.7, better offroad, and looks better in my opinion. However, the Ram GT exhaust sounds great, especially compared to the Gen 2 Raptor.

I just picked up my 2022 Rebel, not the GT, but it's still a fantastic truck! I'm not a fan of the E-Torque, so I just turn it off. I can't wait to take it off road for some great adventures. If you can't afford the TRX, the Ram Rebel is a fantastic choice for off road fun and daily driving. Bill from Linglestown, Pennsylvania

You guys should have done a drag race between the TRX and this GT, to show consumers how much it isn’t like the TRX. And let’s get serious, 71k for a daily driver🤷🏼‍♂️ ……what

That exhaust sounds like Godzilla 👍

GT should have come with the 6.4 L Hemi then I will buy it.

100% agree I hated that dial and it’s the reason I stuck to ordering a Rebel just like this same color many features but I had to have the multi function gate too. Can’t wait til it comes in it’s a 2023 and the driver side dash is upgraded to all digital I am stoked!!! Slap a Diamondback cover on it and I’m done.

@6:47 Yes, Ram gave a lot of stuff that people are asking for- with the exception of the #1 thing people are asking for: a 392/6.4 up front. FCA is putting it in: Ram 2500, Charger, Challenger, Wagoneer, Cherokee, Wrangler, Durango, and even a possible PACIFICA! But the 1500? nah.

I like the circular shift knob it frees up more room in the center console

72K....🤮🤮🤮

That truck has a great sounding exhaust.

By the time any of these get down to normal people budget, they are going to be beat into the ground. That touch screen is a titanic waste of space and just useless as well as most of the info it shows. For the price of a new truck, you could rebuild a used truck into better than new and have cash left over. Every new truck you all review the less I want a new truck.

I got my 2022 Rebel GT at the end of December .. knowing all the other trucks I looked at ran about the same crazy price and were on a back order, it was crazy so I got my GT for no down and yeah it was 70k but I can’t complain one bit I love it

Nathan the one weakness I would like you to addressed seems to be common to ALL super off road trims from the factory like Ram TRX , Ford Raptor R, Toyota Tacoma TRD PRO, etc. ALL OF THEM SUFFER FROM MEAGER PAYLOAD CAPACITY. Especially the RAMa because they use those air suspension which weighs a lot. I venture that truck in this video has a payload of about 1,000 to 1,100 pounds. What good id having a truck that can go most anywhere, but doesn't have the payload capacity to carry supplies and equipment so you can camp when you get there? four 175lb men and a full tank off gas takes up 930 lbs of the 1,100 pound payload. What the hell are you going to do with 170lbs? For $100,000 grand why can't Ford and / or Ram make a great off road truck with some real payload capacity?

I have 2020 ram rebel 2” levelling 35” rubber Muffler delete… Level 2 I was debating trading for trx.. Test drive one other day… That trx engine is amazing… but…. The truck is huge… I’m not off roading, it’s my daily driver… Also,,; I golf a lot and drink a lot… That trx will only get me into trouble.. speeding tickets and possibly dui jail time.. No thanks.. I’ll keep my blacked out rebel… Black and red interior. Full glass roof, Harmon k speakers. Large screen Love my truck

Late. But here in canada. You can get..find...TRX for $135k. Rebel GT is $80-$85.... Basically $50k difference. That is alot and would make many take the GT. $50k is a second car...or boat , etc

But that proper shifter comes at the expense of removing the third front seat, which I prefer. I really don’t like that center console that makes a truck feel like a car inside

Yeah, screw up the console putting that shifter in there because "real men" can't shift with a knob on the dash.

Not worth it spending money right now just wait they will (hopefully)come back to old selling system right now they just taking advantage selling overpriced man☹️

Really wish everyone would stop buying stupid money trucks, keeping prices stupid for all. Only way to get prices to recover.

Great review Nathan! I love the comical sarcasm he presents in his segments and it balances out the rest of the cast. 👍🏻

You can find used ones, for $70k all over CarGurus. Even New One in Granger, IA. for $75.275

i got a 2020 rebel with 30K miles for $46K. with current truck prices. I love it

Sometimes when you offroad, there are split seconds where you do lose track of which way your wheels are pointing, especially with modern power steering. The reviewer of this video doesn't seem to know very much.

This truck is exactly what I want. Ask the extras that I wanted to piece together and some!

70k for a full-sized truck ? the bubble is going to burst on these overpriced vehicles soon enough

The GT package is a complete waste, I would like a proper shifter but there is no conceivable reason to spend the extra cash for useless add-ons.

I love my Ram dial shifter. Up and out of the way. Quick dial back and forth when doing a 5 point turn. The gear lever just seems like too much tool for the job. Takes up valuable console space. Not as fast shifting fore and aft. My 2 cents. Great video.

Prefer the gear selector. Like having the space in the console.

If you compare a Rebel to a TRX you failed to understand their purposes.

Literally such a waste for a shifter and a few decals you can make a normal 1500 or rebel sound better with a exhaust

Why is everyone so obsessed with shifters. Who cares how you put a vehicle in drive (in an automatic)

The first series of the 5.0 in the F150s (2011) was still faster than the Ram 1500s with the 5.7 even then! That was a 6 speed automatic the. Too. Now the 5.0 in the F150 is the “slowest” (the 3.3 doesn’t count) of the gas powered F150s out there for 2022!! It’s a fair bit faster than the Ram 1500s. The 2.7 and 3.5 are so close to each other initially and then the 3.5 shines. Ram MUST do something about that 5.7 and develop it,,,, or another powertrain to stay relevant. The 5.3 in the GMs is not bad, but the 6.2 is also very fast. A 6.2 powered GM is definitely less money (feature for feature) than the Ram 5.7 current version, not the Classic crap they still push. The Rebel GT looks great and has a lot of great features, but that motor is letting the brand down. Sure it sounds good, if you drive it occasionally, but as an everyday driver or long road trip vehicle???? No bloody way. The noise gets old fast. I’m not against the noise, but not all the time.

i test drove one of these with the etorque. i have a 2019 warlock and i noticed no difference in power, just pedal response. other than a nicer interior i had no reason to upgrade.

Cool...... HD pickup truck's is awesome...🆒💖💖💖💖🤠🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘🏻🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏 exhaust note 🥰🥰

Only if I had the money, and if I could cook and sleep in it comfortably.

No transmission issues yet... Give it time lol. Kidding, don't cry to me.

This entire video was a terrible never-ending “reach” No thanks

$165,000 for this truck in Australia 😢

i like trx 700hp is nice. what nord vpn got to with truck.

I have a C6 Corvette which is obviosly a dream car. I also have a little work truck. But I needed a bigger truck. So, a few weeks ago I bought a 2020 Rebel with 33,000 miles on it but in flawless condition -- at 20,000 less than the 2024 prices. And I absolutely LOVE it!!! The exterior is aggressive looking enough. And the interior is on a whole nuther level than any other pickup. The interior is pure luxury. And, the ride is smooth as silk. But what really sold me was how fast it is. (Did I mention I have a Corvette?...) It's fast. Really fast. And I haven't even started upgrading it yet. 😁😁😁

Strangely, I actually like the dial. Its simple, easy and well implemented. 😃

It’s fun when you try to press like, but dislike three times

Truck is a bargain bin with wheels, I just can't get over that grill. The 5.7's day has gone by.

They need to do just the opposite, put the Hellcat motor in the work truck package. Standard suspension, no fancy features, no big tires, no wide body, just a drivetrain strong enough to put 700+hp to the ground. I figure a $15,000 option on a $35,000-$40,000 truck. I'd buy that all day.

I love GMC AT4’s and Chevy Trail Bosses a bunch but this truck looks awesome

With the way gas prices are going I'm gonna buy a scooter, and park my RAM.

It’s a no brainer, not even a question. As far as I know the TRX is the one with the 6.2L hellcat motor. Maybe there’s other options but that’s one of only 2 ways I’d buy a modern pickup after 1999 (Chevy, 93 dodge, 96 ford, etc), a 2019+ Ram 1500 with the 6.2 hellcat engine, or a 2019+ 2500 with a Cummins

Does anyone know how do I track my new order using vin

Pickup and suvs are way to expensive. You pay 70k+ and you still don't get the 6.4? I don't understand why ram can't or won't put the bigger engine in there. GM has the same issue with there 6.2. "Ohh you want our best NA engine then I hope your gonna like living in it cuz your gonna have too from not on" lol. On another note that exhaust does sound pretty sweet.

Well done Nathan! Great video

The 5.7 Hemi is all you need to go most places with this truck! Plus, think about it, there's a ton of bad things that can happen to a truck like that. From man or nature! Less liability for a truck that isn't the most glamorous. No. You drive a truck like that to haul stuff and beat it up a little With! It's what they're made for!!!

If I didn't tow a 38 ft. camper and a boat in the Colorado mountains, I would definitely have one of these trucks. Instead I have a RAM 2500 Laramie 6.7 diesel which I love.

Wont be able to give them away soon... Very soon.

Let's get real: comparisons like this don't matter until prices and supply get back to normal. This and the TRX and both almost exclusively for people with no real budget, in which case you might as well get the TRX.

Y'all's favorite RAM dealer, Johnson Auto Plaza will absolutely sell anyone a TRX at MSRP. I'm sorely tempted but it still comes out to about $80K.

I'd go with the base TRX. The GT could have been so much more. I have a Rebel and I don't see anything worth upgrading for a GT. Most if not all can be got via after markets outside of the paddle and shifter.

Looks like I'll be doing another once-over my 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 (with 5.9L Magnum). Terrible fuel economy but I don't drive far. I do use it to tow and haul stuff. I'm priced out of new vehicle market. I can actually afford it, but can't justify spending that type of money.

If I was buying a new truck it would be 1998 f150 honestly the prices are ridiculous although that's a good looking truck I wish I could trust that ram will last 10 years buuutttt

I prefer the dial gear shift by far. It frees up a lot of space in the console too.

Truck prices are ridiculous 🤣 I feel sorry for ppl who overpaid these last 2 years if they lower the value of trucks due to economy or fuel prices the value will drop and they will be left with a huge payment remaining when they trade in their vehicle for a next one

RAM es RAM ...... Que bella esa Camioneta

I seriously don't understand the hate towards the dial gear shifter. The space savings alone should make it worth it. It seems like a rather trivial thing for people to complain about.

Major disappointment that you can't get the GT nor the Rebel package on a truck with a real (6'7") bed...

Have a laramie 4x4 and truck has been great so far but absolutely hate the dial shifter.....am used to it now but still rather have a column shifter even over console one.....dial shifter was bad idea as well as location for push button start.......

Shift lever is always the best!

The 1500 and the TRX are the same truck, but they aren’t the same truck. The TRX may as well be another model that looks similar.

19 mpg combined. LOL! And it cracks me up how important a gear shifter is to some people.

Waiting on my ram rebel gt to come in watching videos like this can’t wait to be behind the wheel ! 😈

just picked up my brand new base TRX for $67k, no way I’d buy the Rebel over that

Isn't this getting close to a power wagon in price that's a better choice for offroad and also the dial is way better then the shifter for space reasons and plus you have paddle shifters so what's the point of a stick taking your center console 🤔

All they had to do was put the 392 Hemi(the SRT one) in these trucks and it would have been perfect idk why they won't do that already.

I like the dial shifter, it doesn't take up storage space. Put it in drive and go. Get a manual vehicle if you want a "real" shifter!
