I just watched most of the reviews of the American pickup trucks. At either the 2016 or 2017 auto show in Harrisburg Pennsylvania I sat in the old Ram. It must of been a base model. I loved the bold exterior look but it was so dog gone cheap on the outside. You showed a 2014/15 model in another video in a higher trim and boy that was very nice. My Dad and I have a friend who has an absolutely gorgeous 2014 Ford F150 King Ranch style and even that for almost being five years old rides like a luxury truck in dark blue. Now I say though I saw the review of the new one in 2015 and one thing I like about that model even though I have not rode in one and that is the front headlamps look so bold like the superduty. The tail lights to a point remind me of a newer version of the older early 1990s taillights like my Grandpa use to have. My Grandpa has now currently a 2015 Chevy Silverardo LT 1500 in true blue. That rides smooth too. I dont understand one thing and that is why since 2007 why do the Chevy Silverardos look so similar on the outside especially the headlights especially in the redesign 2014 and even a little bit in this new model for 2019? Also I just saw the interior of this new one here and it looks the same. That is very disappointing. Another thing on the outside of this new model is that this Silverado looks like a Colorado. I love the new Ram that you showed in that video. Finally for now I will disagree with you on that the F150 does not look old. It still looks futuristic. I am more of a Honda guy but I do like pickup trucks these days more than I use to because of quality and luxury.

A lot of people forget just how many pickup drivers never go off road and will never get their bed truly dirty. Like ever. They will never leave the highway and will never even be close to the payload limit. They will do a Home Depot trip once a year to get a Christmas tree. They will never tow since they live in big cities. These examples are absolutely everywhere in the urban setting. All I am saying is that the V4 or a Ridgeline is basically more than enough for way too many working class people. F150/Silverado is an overkill for gas cost, insurance cost, workload needs etc. Also, we all know that doctor that has a Denali Pickup and will never even open the bed cover. Honestly, do we all know that One guy? Not hating, sorry, if that is what YOU want (F150, Silverado, dodge etc) then Buy what makes YOU happy. I drive a Camaro for crying out loud so I didnt buy it for practicalityBtw I work in a very large construction firm in NYC and all the trucks that we have only carry hand held tools and materials. All of them are redundant and an overkill for the needs of building skyscrapers. Big F250 that are bouncy as hell and uncomfortable. Then the Ridgeline guy comes to do plumbing, has a couple pipes in the back and welding equipment, and it feels like in an Uber SUV. Heavy equipment comes with the cranes/16 wheelers/concrete trucks. Parking sucks. Get what makes sense to YOU not what you think is the standard for a truck (like = If it aint V8 AWD then it aint a truck)Great review Alex

Dodge is the way to go, EcoBoost engines build up lots of carbon on the back of the intake valve and Ford has no procedure to deal with this, AFM engines never worked right if you Google for just a few minutes you will see thousands of angry Chevy owners. I have first-hand experience seeing problem after problem with the Ford and GMs and Nissans, Nissans are by far the worst vehicles on the planet they used to be good in the 90s but after they were purchased by Renault Carlos ghosn proceeded to cheap them out. Toyotas are getting less reliable and they dont invest in new technologies, the motors and transmissions they have are so behind the times its ridiculous, they are just counting on their good reputation to sell their lackluster vehicles.

Great video is always lots of details and good comparisons. I do not understand why in the hell they decide to have so many different transmission options. What a nightmare on the assembly line. Just pick the 10-speed automatic and make it work with every engine and save yourself a bunch of hassle down the road. Having to maintain Parts Supply for three different transmissions in one truck just seems idiotic to me. All of the engines even the lower-power V6 would have benefited greatly from more gears.

I think GM made a big mistake not offering the tailgate that the GMC has. I say this as someone who has worked alot differant construction jobs. I rarely see a gmc work truck. I see way more Chevys working. GMC trucks have always been more of a luxury type vehicle. Also they should not have withheld the 6. 2 ltr engine from the trailboss. They should do more research. They would sell more trucks. Some people dont want to wait for a later date.

Dear friends Dont let the stories and beautiful pictures confuse you, GM this is a dangerous company for all public, anyone who buys a new car from GM, throws his money in the garbage bin, at the moment of malfunctioning you are alone and may God help you, in this company there is no customer service in general, and the management does not care, you will regret your loss of money. Be careful from GM

Its worth mentioning that, in the LTZ and High Country, the upper (top of) dashboard is also soft touch. Front seats are heated/cooled with heated rear seats in those trims. They do also make some of the knobs and accents higher quality in the upper-end trims, but overall, similar interior. Just worth noting since youre in the mid-range RST trim.

Your discussion of the aluminum bed in the Ford accurately described its durability drawbacks, but didnt mention its big advantage in road salt country: It will not rust. Same with the Fords cab. This isnt terribly relevant in the California market where our wonderful host lives, but it does matter in the Midwest, Northeast, and Canada.

You know if they wouldnt lift these poser trucks so high, you wouldnt need the woman step in the bumper or the running boards. Hate how lifted this class of trucks have become. People who actually use the bed would appreciate not a ridiculous ride height for the Bro dozer crowd

I do not understand why GM has 3 transmissions and why they did not replace AFM with DFM completely. If DFM is a better system why retain the AFM system. Also why not update the 4. 3L with the 8spd. Why not give the 5. 3L and 2. 7L the 10spd.
