I just bought a 2023 Classic Warlock with the 3.6, it has the tow package which includes the 355 gears and several others useful options like limited slip and plenty of other features.
I just had a BED-RUG installed with a tonneau cover. They took 9 grand off the 52 list so i bought it for about the same as a Tacoma or Ridgeline, glad i went with the RAM.

I have a 20 Rebel with 3.92 and you have be light footed in wet roads when taking off a stop! And the Goodyear Duratracs don’t help none with traction. Thanks for the video dudes!!!

I just traded my 17' rebel with the hemi and 3.92 gears and got just over 10 mpg's towing my 6500 lb TT. Got a loaded 21' laramie with the etorque and 3.92 gears, and I am getting about 11.5-12 mpg towing. The biggest difference is city driving with the stop start. Plus pulling boats in and out you can feel the added 130 ft lb of torque the etorque gives ya. I loved my rebel but these 5th gens are awesome. This is my 6th ram since 2001 and I've driven them all over 150k and never have had any major issues. Knock on wood.

I really appreciate these towing comparisons with different RAM 1500 with different options. I don't have e-torque or 3.92's. I think I've been stressing my 2019 Ram 1500 with 5.7 Hemi and 3.21 gears and trying to stay in too high of a gear like 6th gear. But after watching others pull and see that they stay in a lower gears longer then I do, starting to think that maybe I'm trying to get into to high of a gear and maybe need to stay around 3, 000 rpms in 5th be ok, and see what kind of mileage i get. I typically get 9.5 using up to 6th gear (2, 200 rpm) and pulling a 7700lb RV trailer at 65 mph ish. Then again I have a Flowmaster to hear the hemi purr better but everything else is stock. 65, 000 miles on mine. Love the video's and keep them coming. Long Live the high-mileage Ram! Thank you Auto Auction Rebuilds and Monkey Wrench Mike for helping make this video possible.

Great video! I have a 2022 Longhorn Limited E-Torque V-8. Very happy! KEEP ON ROCKING!

[t.l.robinson]

I am very glad that you collaborated with Auto Auction Rebuilds or I may have never found your channel.

[davidb.turknett]

I have a 2021 non etorq with the 3.92's and I'm very happy with it.

The more aggressive tires factored into the lower fuel mileage on your older RAM. Great video!

[vinniecorleone]

I wanted 392 rear gears like my 2008 Hemi Ram but after test driving the Hemi E-Torque Ram, I was very sold on it. It is like a Blower for torque, as it grabs your crankshaft & helps to spin your crankshaft up to a high RPM. I love it not for towing but for light to light fun!
They should put them on Challengers too! I have a 2021 which has the identical actual physical gauges like yours Justin. The only option missing from my Limited is the "Technology Package", which comes with the heads up display & the rear view camera mirror.

just a side note on tow mirrors. To this day, the best tow mirrors I have ever used are the early nissan titan tow mirrors. Something about them just made visibility so nice.

Mr. wheeler, good to see you sir. Nice video. Outstanding test method, and the fact that both trucks have 3:21 gears in the rear end. From what I’ve been told and or read 3:92s are better for towing if I remember correctly. But that’s why I love my 2020 Longhorn. Not only does it have a 3:92 rear end but also the E torque with start stop, which is real smooth at stop signs or sitting in city traffic lights. For a brief second before you started your intro, I thought maybe you just bought a new Limited. Take care my friend.

[JohnDough-do]

I have a Laramie with the 5.7 eTorque and a 3.92 rear. Love the truck, plenty of power.
I hardly notice the start/stop as well. It re-starts the engine as you start to take your foot off the brake, and it only takes a split second to go. Unless you are drag racing someone off the line, it's really not a big deal.. And if you don't want it on, there's a button to turn it off.

[Plantbasingwithkirby]

Great video buddy I just brought a 2023 E torque and it’s a beast! I haven’t done any major towing yet but this video was a great shot for me

[chrismarbrey]

At least on Camera, your truck still looks amazing

[aceofspades]

I have a 2019 limited with the 3.92 gear ratio and etorque. Love watching the videos. Was there a tire size difference between the two?

[overlandski]

What are your thoughts on the fact that Ram ditched the wood steering wheel and went with a standard leather one on the limited version in 2023? How do you think your steering wheel would look after 200k? Mine looks horrible after 40k

[civicvtec]

2021 Ram 5.7 with etorque with 21k miles and i love mine. About 18mpg average around here but i can get 23+ on highway trips.

[gmrtg]

I just traded my 20 Limited for a 24 Limited. Hoping I won’t have any issues with the etorque. My 20 had 3.21 and I ordered the 24 with 3.92s so we’ll see how much better it pulls.
