Love the 1500 U mention fuel consumption comparison 1500 5.7 to the LC diesel but What I would really like to know is average consumption after U fitted the supacharger ????
When you talk about diesel vs petrol availability what some people forget is people use bikes in remote areas which are petrol hence why you can find it
I almost bailed on watching after the extended intro/backstory of the build, but the actual info was good without bs. Interesting thoughts on diesel vs. gas especially given the emission complexity today.
Justin thank you!!!!! I love my RAM1500 petrol. I have it heavily modified (yes I use your rims :) ) and tow an off-road ZoneRV 3.5t caravan. It has been awesome and the petrol availability and fuel economy narratives just get silly from non believers. I have done many hard core corrugated roads and other off-road driving and it has been great so far.
I'm watching the Ram 1500 and waiting to see the DT version, definately love the supercharger addition. like the Patriot Garage edition to the show. What's the plan on the 'ol 47- hope to see the project start soon
I have a wife, a 17 year old kid and a 90lbs dog. I am looking to get a pickup truck sometime next year 2020. I have watched your videos to try to see which would fit our needs best. The trouble is most all reviews focus on towing. My situation is a little different. My primary purpose is to haul the family and commute to work daily ( about 60/40 city/freeway) nothing extreme, and only about 50 miles a day round trip). The truck aspect is for the occasional trash haul, or helping someone move, or getting plywood at Home Depot for some project. With all that being said, I want the most comfortable room, best fuel economy, reliability, safety and price. What is your recommendation? Thank you
Your comment about finding petrol is interesting. Here in Canada, the reverse is true as 98% of cars and light trucks are petrol. I have a ‘17 Chev Colorado with a 2.8 diesel with a tune and 125,000 km with zero issues. 75 mm suspension lift, ARB front with Warn winch, rear steel bumper, TJM Boulia roof top tent, rear fuel/tire carrier. 7.7 L/100 km on the tarmac and pulls my Toyota trail truck on a trailer just fine. Up 8% grades. Total GVW is 5775 kg. You need to come to British Columbia, then Alaska on one of your tours! Not as hard core as Mongolia, but check out the Mackenzie Trail in BC. Cheers!
The only video made here that tells you basically all about the factory RAM 1500 and the option you can add to it. I would love to own one and especially try it on one of yours touring trips as long as you are at the front. Keep up a good work you are legend.
Very balanced and informative explanation of everything done. With no unnecessary brand plugging. Just facts based on user experience. I would love a Ram but with the tray it just wouldn't fit in the garage sadly. Great video look forward to more. Well done.
Patriot campers you guys are honestly the best people I have watched in my entire life no Hope I can see you in the future and to everyone that is really nice good luck in the massive giveaway like if you agree
Are you going to be getting back into building the 2500 Supertourers when the DT models are available in OZ? Or concentrating just on campers now with affiliates doing the builds in all states?
When you fitted the Supercharger , did you deactivate the Hemi fuel saving feature ( 8cyl to 4cyl) and if not how has that been so far? Awesome machine!
Gday this is my favourite truck you have built this far. Glad to hear it gets used as a daily driver and as a tow rig- just how they were intended. Would you consider doing a Silverado 1500 with the 6.2lt? Great series, looking forward to next vid. Cheers
33's are the standard size tire here in the US for the 4x4 Ram 1500's so no need to regear since 33's are what he is running. One of the down sides to the Ram is you cant regear the front end. If you need taller gears then you have to replace the entire front center with one from a higher gear Ram and even then i think the tallest gear you can get are 3.73's.
Great video mate. Finally someone with some sense when it comes to the diesel vs petrol argument. Like you say if we were having this discussion 20 years ago it’d be diesel every day but times change.
Hopefully you see this as it’s an old vid. But what width is that canopy. I’m looking at getting a Ram but I would like to reuse my 1800 wide canopy. I know the tray is 2000 wide just thinking on the looks.. 👍🏻
Just bought a Ram Warlock and really want that PCOR Bullbar Dude, its the only one I have seen that follows that rams lines... Any chance of getting one ? by the way awesome build on that Ram 1500.
thank you great detail show detail video love king Isuzu 300 4x4 with 5.2 turbo 6ton crew cab know 20lt very 100km if got money do the things yes be great do that yes great setup on RAM truck did there in the video
This is a very good truck. But to buy a full-size pickup truck in Australia you need to pay nearly twice the price in the US. Is it really worth it? I really like Ford F150, Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado. But I am not sure if I am willing to pay twice the original price.
Love all of your videos When are you going to post the next episode You should go and do some mountain biking. It is so fun and it will keep you fit Have you ever thought about getting a f-truck
Consumption may not be too different however the in some places the cost of Diesel vs Petrol can be. However Diesels are more susceptible to bad fuel and the cost to rebuild a Diesel fuel system can be a bit of a joke.
They are not that small, I have a 2017 ram 1500 4 door crew cab 4x4 with a 5 lift on 37’s and my friend has a 2018 2500 4 door crew cab 4x4 stock suspension with 35’s and my truck is a lot bigger looking, both are 6’4” beds, 5.7 hemi but I have a ranch hand grill guard and he does not.
