The OP said he bought the RAM because he wanted to tow a trailer. And I’m saying that I have one that I use for towing, and I also have a JT, and I think he made a good choice considering his future needs. So yeah, I’m aware that this is an apples to oranges situation.

I watch Ben’s videos from time to time and I think he more or less has to use the clickbait titles in order for YouTube to surface his videos to others. Not defending that, but the video itself has to do with how he thinks the JT needs more engine options. A bunch of ‘22s sitting on the lot in...

Gecko Green is my favorite too, but I ended up with Sting Gray since I wasn’t ready to buy a Gladiator when Gecko was available.

I own a Ram 1500 and a JTR. Love both of them but the RAM is way more comfortable when towing. Mine also happens to have the built-in trailer brake controller, which is great because you don’t have to mess with an external one. You’ll love the RAM!

It’s the only EV I’m interested in following right now to see what the final product looks like. Hope it’s cool.

That’s a shame. I have one of their “the shield” stubby bumpers on my JK and it’s been awesome.

Agreed. I love when pro-EV folks — who are absolutely GIDDY about government mandates that will eventually force us all into them -- simply can’t understand why someone would NOT want an EV right now. It’s like, just because YOU like an EV doesn’t mean that EVERYONE has to like or want them...

To each their own, but this doesn’t get me excited about the RAM REV at all. I understand the joke/undertone of it, but meh. My takeaway is that it’s essentially saying this: “hey, government is mandating EVs, so we’re building them. They kind of suck now. But we have one that looks like a...

All I have to say is “wow” and I don’t mean that in a good way. Prior versions have a nice rugged look to them. This one looks like a grocery-getter. But I guess that’s all it can really do, since it probably can’t tow anything for any considerable amount of range.

Yeah, there are some people who like the 4xe because of the technology. Not to mention that government will give you a tax rebate if you buy one, since they “approve” of it. Either way, not saying I’m right or wrong. But to me, calling the electric components by fancier or more exciting names...

No, it’s not the branding. A lot of people resent government mandates happening in some states that basically eliminate all choices other than EVs by 2035. I don’t have a problem with emerging technology, but I’d rather make the decision to adopt that technology on my own based on its merits...

Yep, this is why I ended up buying a used 2021 JTR that matched exactly what I was planning on ordering on a 2023. It was somewhat of a unicorn but happened to pop up for sale out of state and I bought it. Even though used prices are still slightly elevated, I didn’t want to pay for a 2023...

I just picked up a ‘21 that has death wobble and while I didn’t catch it myself because it wasn’t obvious to me, there’s movement in the drag link near where it attaches to the pitman arm. Had it over to a shop that specializes in Jeeps and one of the techs looked it over with me and showed me...

Thanks so much for posting this. I just bought a ‘21 JT Rubicon that the previous owner lifted and it has the exact same issue. Not really death wobble, but was a little scary when it happened the first time. Same parameters you mention - between 40-50MPH, and I can accelerate out of it. I...

I think so, based on the picture of the bumper although I didn’t personally look at it myself when I test drove it. It’s the factory bumper. No errors. Thanks!

Perfect, thanks so much!

Thanks! The park assist button on the dash was definitely not “off” because I accidentally pressed it when I was looking for the button to turn off the automatic stop/start and then realized I pressed the wrong button and pressed it again to turn it back on. (Haha). But good to know about...

I definitely want a JT Rubicon, but I don’t have one yet. I happened to find a used 2021 that matches the specs I’m looking for, so I figured I’d go check it out if I could get it at a good price as opposed to ordering a new one. It has a lift and 37s on it. I understand that I’d be buying...

I watched the TFL video. The biggest things that stood out to me are that it looks smaller than a current RAM 1500 (although I haven’t seen/read anything about dimensions) and the new RAM logo reminds me of the KIA logo that nobody can recognize.

I haven’t towed with a JT, but I towed with a Toyota Tacoma and found it to be okay, but not nearly as powerful and as comfortable as the RAM 1500 I have now. You might feel like the JT is a downgrade from the Raptor in that regard.
