Yep folks, we live in a time when a basic "work truck" can start at 46k BEFORE options, oh the "good ole' days" when at "work truck" started around 20k....

There is a dealer in my town of Texas that is selling these exact model trucks for 36K-ish. So you can definitely work with the dealer to get a better price. Never pay full price for anything lol.

I love that it has manual seats, wish it had manual windows and manual transmission as well

52 grand is steep for a Tradesman V6, in my opinion. It is a Night Edition, right? You usually mention that in your vids 👍🏾.

[buschfan]

I will happily take the pentastar V6 over the new hurricane i6, it has more history behind it and is more reliable than the new engine.

$52k for that is crazy. I have a 2018 F-150 Lariat with the 502a luxury package, the special edition sport package and the 5.0 V8, among other things. Paid $33k. Only 80k miles, which is nothing for that Coyote V8. Cannot imagine paying $20k more for a base model truck just because it’s newer. There’s nothing that truck can do that mine can’t

Ty for sharing, pricing aside, in my eyes this feels more like a express or big horn not a tradesman ready to be placed on a job site ... Neat truck over all, I like how it looks.

[Ethan_the_Railfan]

3:27 I really like how the tachometer even reads the speed of the engine when it is starting. That is really cool. Watch it closely. And the fact that it doesn’t just jump up like so many cars do today. That’s one really cool feature that I’m glad it has.

[mitchellshareratleastsu]

If I was to lease a ram I would go for the hurricane rather than the pentastar

[GeneralOrhan]

52k for a work truck? I hope that POS sits on the lot for a full year.

[KenMcCune-wbjp]

White truck with Every thing black that's so cool love it

[westcoastronnieOC]

Well I have to say for 52 Grand I think that is a fair price for that truck. I can't believe I'm going to say something good about ram but got to give credit where credit is due
To get an actual V6 engine naturally aspirated is a hard thing to get nowadays with no turbo hopefully it's going to be reliable down the road. I got to give Ram credit for keeping the naturally aspirated V6 engine. Now the only question is is it going to be reliable for the next 10 years?

They should've got rid of the pentastar instead of the hemi.

[classiccorvettesmusclecars]

I like basic, less stuff to break, but still too expensive.. Especially with 2 less cylinders .. Should b $40k max…

[JRs-guitars]

Nicest base model pickup for sure. Idk if I'd really want the V6 in a full size, but id be willing to test drive it.

[marcmcphee]

What a beast! That V6 will do burnouts all day long!!

[chadwickcooks]

Does the tailgate lock?
Does the backseat arm rest have cup holders?

[VenaiZsawlwsi]

wow the freeways in Utah are sure different then here in New Mexico maybe Arizona might have the same freeway design system as you guys in Utah.

[jeffsfortniteclips]

Hope they put better oil coolers on those and something better for penny tick
