We are filming our 2019 Ram review today

[Jared B]

Alright everyone,we are filming our 2019 Ram review today thanks to @BobbiBigWheels and our friends at Abbotsford Chrysler. If there is anything specifically you would like to see in the video or for me to take photos of, let me know on this thread and I'll do my best to get it done for you.

Yes, I would like to see a review of the off road package and the difference between the truck with and without that package. I would also like to see a quad cab interior room and from the exterior too.

 

[Jared B]

Sorry I should have mentioned, the truck we have to review is a Laramie Crew without the off-road package. I do plan on doing the other trims and configurations as they become available to us though.

great timing. My data renews tonight so I can watch it at break in the morning.

Just anxious to hear your thoughts on it.
Good luck and have fun.

I did notice some quad cabs on car gurus heading to dealerships...Haven't seen any off roads yet, but the one dealership is using a rebel pic to show the quad cab and it got me excited...but the truck is just a bighorn...sorry off topic.

I would like to see the rear seat in action. Would like to see the Ramcharger used (if it has it). Like to see the rear tailgate in action.

I would like to drive one too...

Definitely going to show the Ramchager, rear seat and tailgate in action

Trivial, but the gas cover. Does it push to unlatch or is their a pull lever in cab. My 2014 has a thumb indent. Pull open.

Push to open, capless fill.

Are you going to post the review here when your done?

 

[Jared B]

Well I have good news and bad news. Thanks to @BobbiBigWheels and our friends at Abbotsford Chrysler I have now driven the 2019 RAM. The bad news is that 3/4 of the way filming the review the SD card in one of my cameras corrupted. It originally looked like I only lost the driving review part so I refilmed it and had the same issue. It still looked like everything else was there so I swapped cameras and filmed some other stuff.

I have just got home to transfer all the videos to my computer for editing and now everything from that SD card is missing, the intro, b-roll, driving footage, interior and exterior walk around. I still have a bunch of footage from my other camera and am going to see what I can put together. I will be writing a review as well so stay tuned for that. For now I'm going to go see what I can save of that video review. I'm really bummed right now and apologize to all of you as it's not going to be the video review that you all should have gotten. Today was also kind of a tough day as we were a bit pressed for time to get it to work. If I can't make something out of what I've got I will have to see if they will let me re film it.

As for the truck, it drives incredibly nice, is amazingly quiet and smooth, comfortable and looks great on the road.

 

[devildodge]

appreciate all you do. Darn technology. Wish you luck getting it all togethet, but I am sure in due time you will get it done.

Thanks @Jared Balfour and @BobbiBigWheels

 

[Jared B]

I am so disappointed right now it's not even funny. I had a very thorough well thought out review filmed and now I'll be lucky if I can get a "quick take" out of it. ALTHOUGH I did make it a POV drive which nobody else has done yet so you guys might enjoy that.

Thanks for the compliment.

A little preview I just threw together.

I know you have a good pic of rear bumper, is there enough space in there to put a tailgate led lightbar.

I believe there is. Next time I'm looking at one in person I'll take a closer look.

That's a good idea that I have yet to consider, thanks ! Could come in Very Handy in the Wilderness, backing into unknown "brushy" areas !
I HAVE BEEN thinking of the Front Bumper for an LED light bar - low profile. no wider than the grill, for similar reasons - Not for the Highway !
THIS seems to be more & more an Unfortunate "necessity" because RAM seems RELUCTANT - so far - in ALLOWING consumers the CHOICE of LED's when building a V6 ! When attempting to add the LED's Your FORCED to spend THOUSANDS MORE for things you Don't want - like a V8 and Level 2 and 20 inch RIMS ! RAM - IF YOUR LISTENING - THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE . . . you could be loosing valued loyal previous owners ( like me ) ! ? This pertains to Big Horn wannabe's ( like me ) ! YOU say THIS trim is your BIGGEST Seller for the "masses" - why not make it even MORE SO, by allowing US to have our cake ( Big Horn ) and Eat it too ( LED'S ) . . . SAFETY SAFETY SAFETY ! Most regular Halogen lights are INADEQUATE at best - especially under less than ideal weather conditions !

Didn't look like enough space to mount and see illuminated. Plus looks like it isn't a solid flat mounting plate underneath the Tailgate

 

[Rustydodge]

I know you have a good pic of rear bumper, is there enough space in there to put a tailgate led lightbar.

Most likely there is, but now with the new bumper you can mount them on the plasitc of the bumper itself (where the future ramps may slide). They could be split and wired with your turn signals, or bright white LEDs for extra back up light....hmmm

 

[2019REBEL]

I currently have the Opt7 LED tailgate light bar and it has them amber turn signals in it so it will complement the new amber turn signals on the Ram. Just was wondering if it will fit with the new design on the rear bumper.
Other possibilities for those flat pieces on the bumper, good place to put my emergency lights(volunteer firefighter).
