What Truck Should I Buy? RAM vs Ford vs Chevy! 

Reasons why rams sit on the lot and end up getting 15k+ knocked off MSRP 😂

The same is for ALL major manufacturers. Wonder why food is so high? Not supply chain, it's corporate greed

​@bawintermage8351 I'm a farmer, and can confirm its not us getting all this money.

@@tlr-nut7275 understood

That’s actually what they’re doing. 👍🏾

What are they gonna come back to? They never had anything worth buying.

​@@ZACH_95_ I've had good luck with my two ram trucks.

A Morocco built ram

agreed. black is getting really old really fast

I like a combo personally. I'd be ok with finding more efficient cleaner ways to produce it, or something that could 1:1 replace the chrome with the same EXACT look but I'm not wanting to see it disappear.

The 6.2 V8 is around for fleet buyers. And that's a good thing.

Me too.

I like real polished chrome metal not fake plastic chrome!

Scottramussen- me to brother. I’m older also but I like my chrome. My Ram is a 2019 Longhorn and black. Does look sharp…

You made a good move getting one of the last Hemi before they are obsolete!

love the chrome on my '13 ram 1500 big horn except...... the trim around the shifter. after 10yrs i still haven't hit it w/flat finish, maybe inanother 10yrs when i find the time

I love chrome. Doesn't chip and look like shyte in 8 years

Yep I have the chrome package on my 2020 F150 Lariat. Would like to add more.

I think the Chrome aspect depends on personal taste as well as color. I feel like the Painted versions of everything to look more sporty is starting to be overplayed. And I own one! Plus it looks like shit in 3yrs.

Roman mentions the manufacturing process for chrome is bad for the environment but I never heard him complain about the process to obtain lithium for electric vehicles. Kind of disingenuous.

Why do you hate it does it have reliability issues

both engines not bad I've tried all models with towing and no towing typical ford owners

@@mjoliver457 lol im a ford owner i actually like the new ram tbh

I have a ram 2022 had a 2020 tundra the v6 ram pulls plenty and has a higher payload then my tundra did 😂.

@@ms1406 I just don't like it. I've only put 600 miles on it but the throttle fluctuates back and forth so much when you are trying to drive on a 2 lane road with your foot on the gas pedal. Pulled my 10k lbs dump trailer with it and you got to run the truck like you're mad at it to get it to pull it. Pulled it several times with my Hemi and no problems. And of course when you start it sounds like a swarm of bees and not a real engine sound. Just really don't care for it. My opinion! Miss my Hemi.

I think the people from Tx came up with that name first.... Still funny tho lol

Give it a few years. That Ford will be falling apart.. its definitely unfortunate.. there made so poorly these days..

My dad got the same with 53430K Miles, all towing 7000lb trailer across multiple states. Has zero issues, he loves this baby, He traded his 2021 GMC Denali with transmission and electronics issues

I gave up on Fords because you’re always having to fix them and having to buy OEM Ford parts that are insanely priced. I’m happy with Jeep and Dodge. I’ve had a diesel Jeep 2014 going on 10 years. Although not a huge fan of the eco diesels, staying in the Chrysler family and looking for a Dodge with a Cummins diesel.

Nissan is converting the Titan's plant for EV production! Titan is dead!

@@philfeist2127 If what you say is true then the value of my 2024 ICE Titan just went up!!

Sorry it won't and before you know it parts will be discontinued​@@rockyvi5709

Factory Chrome is Cheap junk and retains to much heat .

@@rockyvi5709 Yes, Nissan is discontinuing the Titan full-size pickup truck after the 2024 model year. Production is scheduled to end in the summer of 2024 at Nissan's Canton, Mississippi plant, which will be repurposed for the production of two new electric vehicles:

Go back to your Fake News channel

That exactly what it stands for! OWL = Outlined White Letters. RWL = Raised White Letters. ORWL = Outlined Raised White Letters. B, BLK, BW, BSW = Blackwall or Black Sidewall. W, WW, WSE = Whitewall or White Sidewall.

The four corner air suspension is garbage. It's very expensive to repair and maintain especially in cold climate conditions.

Liar. Carbon build up

My buddy needed a new engine at 68k

@@thorpower1015 the cheap used ford's have the ecoboost in them

I got over 100,000 miles on my 2014 echoboost and not a issue! I just bought my second one!

He's lucky. My 2013 lasted 18k kilometers and was falling apart. Depends what u do with it I guess. They can't handle the trails.

The Nissan V8 for sure, as we have decades of history on it showing it can last; however, new V8’s like the redesigned Coyote do not have enough history to state that just being a V8 makes it more dependable. N/A engines have gotten ridiculously complicated to meet the strict emissions regulations required of all new designs.

Your cousin only gets 11pm? Ya that’s a guzzler. My 2019 ram with the Hemi averages 16-17 city. 22 highway. If I drove 60 miles an hour I may get more. 🤷🏻

i dont think people understand how they work and just think fast whirling turbo = potential problems... untrue.

Yeah, it's silly. I sold my first turbo car at 300k. That car was built 40 years ago. I have no idea what these people are talking about w/ "Turbo issues". There is probably some history to bad designs or manufacturing processes that impacted turbos, but I have no reason to think that reliability is a big issue. I think what most people dislike about turbos is they normally get their power at higher RPM and you get higher pitched engine noises. I've been flogging small displacement turbos since I was a kid, so I never developed that problem. The sound a of vacuum cleaner reminds me of relaxing as I accelerate down a front straight and prep for the next lap... The problem I have with the turbo trucks is that I haven't seen a real world fuel economy improvement for the added manufacturing expense. I went digging at fleet fuel economy numbers before buying a truck, and did not see the improved EPA estimates reflected there. I think that what is going on is that at load, small turbos are not really much more efficient than larger displacement NA engines with the same power level. Especially at partial load, you get more efficiency from a higher compression ratio than from a smaller displacement. Trucks have terrible aerodynamics and pull loads, so a higher compression NA engine may be more suitable for trucks, at least for gas engines. I ended up with an '21 F-150 Powerstroke, because it was a sweet deal and gets great fuel economy all the time, not just on the EPA test cycle. If I was willing to pay for a new truck, I'd probably go for the Duramax. Turbo diesels don't have lowered compression ratios, so they are great for trucks.

The V8 will stay for the fleet buyer. And I thank them for keeping it going! You the commoner will be pointed to the side of the dealer lot with turbo V6 and turbo 4 and you will be hypnotized to luv it too!

@@southsidetom On what do you base the V-8 being retained for fleet buyers? We are addressing half tons here, not HD. I think V-8s in this category will all eventually be retired as an option. Are you able to provide manufacturer documentation of the industry's marketing intent?

@@joecanis484 it was never pointed out specifically in this that it is only 1/2 ton centric. Re listen to the first two minutes. No guard rails were placed on their discussion. You can make an assumption.

@@southsidetom Seriously? Get real. From the description below the video: "Andre and Roman show you the 2025 Ram 1500 and talk about how it compares to its Ford and Chevy counterparts!" Do you really think the video includes HD as "counterparts"? I would say that is focused solely on half tons. You are one of those people that can just never admit they are mistaken no matter how minor the mistake. I am blocking any rebuttal. I have no time for blockheads.

10 speed nice for a little while more moving parts = less realiability

Libertarian- your so right. I always been saying that. All I what is a reliable power plant. Engine and transmission period. That’s the reason why I went with a 2019 Ram. Hemi n ZF. A lot better chances with reliability by far. Older Toyotas with there 5.7 are also great power plants. Cheers

Sorry to hear that! I know a guy with a Platinum Powerboost that had the transmission replaced. Afterwards the dealer discovered that the original problem was actually some hybrid related control module. I don’t know any specific details. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Fords are terrible these days. Lots of issues with the 10 speeds from Ford and gm.. not worth it.. hemi/zf8 for longevity

@@claysmurthwaite2386The 10-speed in my 2020 F150 is definitely clunky at times, but it hasn’t failed in 110k miles.

i got 24mpg once driving from florida to md. going ~75 (speed limit). very very flat roads

I agree. And a pain to keep clean etc etc

Keep your hemi.. they will start going up in value

I bought a 21 just before the prices got crazy. I keep looking at new trucks to trade in but the prices have convinced me that my 21 is the nicest truck in my driveway. I am only getting rid of this truck if someone writes it off

What??????????????🤔🙄

Thank you.

@@TFLtalk I forgot to mention; RWL - Raised White Letters (different term, means the same as OWL).

ORWL- outlined raised white lettering

It is certainly a V8, but my guess is that it isn’t your V8 as it includes all the cylinder deactivation crap that nobody asked for.

We enjoyed our OBS Ford Power Stroke for a while last year.

@@TFLtalk We love your old truck videos and comparisons. Keep them coming!

Here in Florida and anywhere it’s mostly sunny and 80+ degrees a white or light color is essential especially if you can’t park in garage!

Detailed cars at Ford...we hated black vehicles for that reason

"No body needs a White Vehicle as there are 10,000 of them on the road." Is that like Yogi Bera saying "No one goes to that restaurant anymore. It's too crowded."

I have a 19 f150 coyote with the standard 6.5 ft bed and it’s a super crew

Does that factor in the 12k discount on new trucks, full warranty, and worse resale on the used truck?

Fix what exactly? I had a 2019 for 5 years

I wouldn’t buy a ford or GM with dipsticks. Cause there trucks are dip sticks 😘

I love the Titan, but since they're getting rid of it, I'm worried about parts availability in the future. Nissan should continue the Titan as is.

@@philh1826 If there was large enough number sold, things could change. But they have to produce parts by law for 10 years at least. I lowe my XD, only truck I would buy today. 100k warranty, V8 what's not to like.

any anything goes bad , cab off

@@DankcatvacsYup. That’s the only reason why I would get a ford and or Toyota. I’m not paying that for maintence repairs. They put that body back on and misplace a wiring harness or something. Then problems begin. Yuk!!

Love my 6.2! Paired with the 10 speed, it's super smooth and powerful. Love driving it!
