    35k towing capacity.....damn. Over 7k payload capacity.

    I'm going to guess they will be hitting $90k

    That’s ridiculous, can’t beat that. Hope they got rid of the tranny issues dodge has had for a while...

    I think those went away back in 2012 or so. My last ram never had a problem. 24k toyhauler in the mountains. Never missed a beat. Aroumd town the torque management was HORRIBLE!.

    A coworkers brother in law's 2016 1 ton RAM had the rear differential rebuilt within a year and had the death rattle. Traded it in on................another RAM.....whatever.

    Nice truck. Looks like they took a lot of technology already offered by Ford and GM since 2011.

    Still love the look of those Platinum F250s, one of the best looking trucks...imo. But just can’t see spending 80k for any vehicle...

    I would stand by the Cummins since my family has a ton of experience with the Diesel since I was a kid in the 90s and early 2000s. I have also heard good things about the Aisin that you can get with it. I just worry about the rest of the truck sometimes.

    EDIT: Not going to lie the Powerwagon is pretty badass too

    *3/4ton to 1ton. Can’t speak on the 1500’s. Have several friends that drive 3/4ton Ram with Cummins and they are legit

    I like the chrome :D that's about it!
    Know couple of people who had to replace it transmission under 100K miles. One did it at 70K miles!

    I like you, honestly. However, suggesting any member to get alcohol poisoning or death might be a COC violation.

    (Joking, that was pretty funny, and you would be pretty damn drunk)

    haha! dammit! Some of those shot of the red Ram Rebel in the beginning are actually me!

    They released my commercial and paid me royalties as of December 1st. But the problem is that the production company that hired me finishes the commercial and sells it to Ram and after that they're done with it. The lady told me that Ram will post it to their Ram YouTube channel, but I just have to keep watching the channel until its posted. I been watching for a month now and they still haven't posted it.

    This is a montage of the commercial series that Hidden Woods did, I'm the guy in the Red Ram Rebel. If you watch carefully, you can see the water crossing I did haha and even a quick shot of me in the cab. But I'm really looking for the whole commercial:

    Throw back to the 70's. I do love the old Dodge PW's. Even better, if I could find an old D200 double cab and throw a 5.9 cummins in it.

    I would ditch the Tundra in a second for this power wagon

    I wish that they wouldn't have followed suit with the 1/2 tons in the looks department, but I knew that they would. That said, it looks better than I thought it would. And they hit the 1000 ft-lb mark. Unreal.

    Yeah - Toyota hasn't ever had rust issues.

    I like this one:
