Looking To Buy New RAM 1500

Topic starter

What is your opinion on the new Ram 1500? I currently drive a '21 Camry SE. I recently purchased a business and I'll need a truck to buy and haul supplies to my shop. I won't be towing anything. I've thought about the Tacoma, but do y'all think it's a little too small?

Pass on that Dodge, it's made by Stellantis now. Scotty refers to them as the 3 Stooges in auto manufacturers. Fiat bought out Chrysler during their most recent bankruptcy, and then Fiat went bankrupt shortly thereafter. The lead company is now Peugeot, which also makes crappy cars. 

I would go between and older Toyota Tundra that still has a V8 or naturally aspirated V6, or a V6 Tacoma if you for sure don't haul. Only you can make the determination, since we don't know your business.

Scotty has advised many times both in his videos and here in this forum to avoid Stellantis products.

New Tundra is a better option. Plus, you have a 2021 Camry, so you may be eligible for loyalty discounts if you do get the Tundra. The Tundra is a Turbo V6, unlike the Ram which is a Turbo Inline-6. Toyota has been turbocharging cars for decades now (A80 Supra and Celica GT-Four to name a few) and the Tundra V6 is the same one that's in the Lexus LS500. 

Toyota is having problems with their turbo V6s. I don't know ow why they got rid of V8 naturally aspirated engines, other than politicians trying to mandate it. Physics doesn't care about politicians' mandates.
