2001 Dodge Ram 1500 vs 2021 Ram 1500: Are Modern Gadgets Just Gimmicks? We Hit The Ranch To Find Out

Also note that auto opening rail is a sheen and foot grabber. He had to clear that rail to get out

He might would of been able to hit the unlock button while rolling it may have kept tailgate locks unlock. Just a thought still may auto lock when in any drive setting

Can you imagine getting into that new dodge with muddy boots and hay all over you ,muddy wet gloves and hands dirty pants. Nope

Great Video

I only came because I knew the truck wouldn't let you drive with the door open or open the tailgate while driving, but I'm pleased to learn that I can actually do it with the seatbelt buckled, so thankyou

That’s why I like my truck, it’s a 2019 RAM 1500 Classic Lonestar. It’s just the right amount of new and advanced enough to have Apple car play, but definitely doesn’t feel to nice to get dirty. It gets the job done and will take care of you if you take care of it. Love that thing

I have had both old dodge trucks and newer dodge trucks. ... I kept the old dodges, and they still work great, after the new dodge trucks died.

Awesome job guys...great video

I like the older rams. The new ones are ugly . I'm a 01 gal.

The 2021 FORD F-150 is better than both of these

Terrifying to realize that is 20 years.... Gone. Ugh. I think I'd be frustrated with too many new gadgets at first. I like the older ones as I can relate to them better 😉

For most people.. its a grocery getter! Right on the money! I own a truck... lol

I've driven a lot of Dodge trucks. Seconds gens are my favorite from a looks perspective, but the new ones are so much better everywhere else. True, a 5.2 or 5.9 is easier to work on than a Hemi, but you get a lot more power. The new trucks have way better brakes and handling. I've recently upgraded from a 2012 1500 to a 2019 1500 Classic, and wow, very similar looking trucks, but a lot of improvements. I prefer the simple interiors of the older trucks and the 4sp auto over the 8sp, but I'll take a new Ram over an old one for daily driving any day.

I just wish my 99 Ram Sport 5.2 had a bit more power and got a bit better mpg. It still turns heads every day though and I love my truck.

Old cars and trucks are better

I have a 2nd gen Dodge other than a busted dash like most of them have its been a great truck💪

I would rather own the new one but I can only afford the old one

Truck prices are out of control

That was a waste of 15 minutes.

You shouldn't have to trick your vehicle in order to get out of it while it's moving.

As far as farm trucks are concerned the old truck is much better. You can beat the crap out of it on the farm without caring about it. You could also fix alot of mechanical problems at the farm as well. The new one is too nice to be doing farm work on and imagine trying to fix something like the air suspension on that new truck outside of a dealership or independent shop.

Kase is such a handsome guy 😍

To be fair ram does have lower end models, like the bighorn an ram 1500 classic if you want just a work truck

David's ghost rides the whip 😂

Wonder if it's possible to motor swap the 01 with a 2021 motor

only thing i like about the new rams that my 2nd gen doesnt have?? ramboxes. But well im not done with mine :P

My 2014 Laramie autoparks if you open the door...

I just sold my Ram Rebel to buy a clean second Gen

$95000 au. Basic trim 👎🏻 2021 1500 plus on road costs

All the "safety" features lmao

Looks more like straw bale, Hay is greener and much heavier! Also running with a ghost driver in the newer truck you might wanna have ur window rolled down as they will automatically lock while driving.

I wouldn't trade my 01 ram for any new truck. I love my girl

My two favorite trucks of all time 🔥

You know I haven't seen any of the 2nd generation 318/360 5 speed 1500 trucks to give a fair comparison. Those are the trucks to buy for a 1500. Those dog 46 re transmissions were never any good we can't compare those with a zf 8speed auto. Two different animals. Then for v8s ram offered the g56 behind the hemi only in 2500 and 3500s. If it was in the 1500s there would've been alot more smiles per gallon

Ok so the hay test proved a broken latch is better than a locked one

What abouts a 2002 dodge ram 1500

2002-2008 best ram trucks ever made, owned my Mercedes, the Germans were making them better and they were on their way to success but unfortunately things didn't work out.

Wasnt that Nathan's truck w the bad tranny! 🤐🤣

Who in right mind would buy a ram junk I owned 2 bought motors and 7000 eaxhb

2 funny! I can't get the tail gate down Tommy lol. I love my Regular cab. 2001 but that interior on that new one Rocks

Why ant the young boy carrying the plywood??? It looks to me like he ant got no hometraning!! And no recpac!!. He'll he could be your grandson and he's carrying the Wood!!!. WTF. Sun Man Up!! You should not give the older man a Chan's to get to the wood Before you get it out of respect!! I'm 63 and can still kick boys ass like this kid yes I said kid kid you got some thing to lurn!! Sun. That man has dun more lifting than you aver will!!.k

I got a 2000 dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.9 that’s thing been bullet Proof good truck

I think they had it right back in the seventies and maybe earlier when they had tool boxes on the bottom of the fender it is a lot of wasted space

The only "modern" gadget worth a crap on modern trucks is the backup camera

Everything else is bright shiny things for those easily distracted

I have a 1995 dodge ram 5.9 that will outlast any new truck there built to be back in the shop so the shops keep making money. The amount of problems they have compared to old trucks is sad

Just got my 2001 dodge ram 1500 5.9 it’s a beautiful truck I just got done upgrading the pipes sounds amazing and put a intake thing had ballsss

Them old Rams are built different

New ones are nice but older one looks way better and tougher to be honest

I'll keep my 2nd gen! The new truck just bosses you around.

I'll keep my old 1995 second generation 4x4.
