the dodge ram 1500 truck has some hidden
gems
if you're looking to buy one you have to
know about these
and if you have this truck keep watching
because there are surprises that you
might not even realize
let's go
this is the newer model 2019 dodge ram
1500
hemi bighorn okay the first gem
if your car is running and in drive and
you turn your car off
the knob automatically turns to park a
knob that automatically turns
who does that not impressed stay with me
as i put the truck in reverse i see my
rear view camera with a system showing
the yellow lines when i'm close to an
object
and red when i'm in danger of hitting it
as you turn
the line follows no big deal most review
cameras do this
when i'm getting closer there's another
notification on the dash it starts
beeping
and showing me the distance until i'm
too close
then it turns red this is great for
parallel parking when you need to
squeeze in
again this is not a big deal
but the kicker is if you're going too
fast
the car will put on the brakes if it
thinks you're going to hit something
the truck frigging stops itself look out
tesla
this actually saved me a couple times
there were things out of my view
or maybe i was in a big rush
self-breaking
truck getting impressed
come on i'm doing my best check out how
many
cup holders this thing has two in the
driver's side door
two in the front center console
two in the front passengers door
one in the rear passengers door on the
left hand side
and one in the rear passenger on the
right hand side
you're probably thinking poor people in
the back
they get only one in the side door
they're going to be
parched but no there are two more
in the rear center console but wait
check this out
two more in the center seat everyone
is going to be really well hydrated it's
ridiculous
or a lot of bathroom breaks that's 12
friggin cup holders i'm getting thirsty
but check this out a spot to hold a
tablet
people in the back can watch their
favorite how to to go videos
while you're driving
let's go in the front driver's seat you
can fit your tablet
in the front securely and also good for
your phone
if you're curious the size of this
tablet is 10 by 7 inches
another thing is there's crazy storage
two glove compartments there's a lot of
room in the center console as most
trucks have
but check out this hidden compartment
there's an identical hidden storage
compartment
on the other side and yes you can easily
put the seats up
to store more stuff in the cab
i have to say the center entertainment
system is awesome
it connects to apple and android carplay
quickly and easily
right when i plug my phone in the type
of phone icon app is displayed
this is for my android it immediately
switches to my phone apps and i can
easily
navigate and go back and forth with the
apps
if you select your phone's navigation
app it will show it on the screen
instead of the car's navigation
while i'm driving using my navigation i
can quickly go back and forth
between podcasts the next item
is the sun visor check this out
ah the sun's in my eyes the sun's in my
eyes boom
not anymore it also does this on the
passenger side
now if you're thinking big deal well
my range rover and my porsche don't do
this okay
here we go no gas cap it's
genius cars shouldn't have a gas cap
what's the point
american engineering at its finest
reverse camera on the tailgate for
better view
but this is not what i'm talking about
i'm talking about the soft opening
tailgate
i really enjoy this no big deal
what about led lighting in the back
remember the days you had to climb in
your truck to turn the lights on
no more you're already at your truck bed
save the steps one button turns them
both on
and off
oh yes let's not forget when you lock
your truck
the bed also locks this will make it a
little harder for someone to take heavy
stuff
out or if you have a bed cover the items
will be more secure
the drivers cluster you can easily
check where you're at with oil changes
and how much time is left
it blows me away not all cars have this
information
it's one of the most important things
about a car to have the oil
changed to make the engine last longer
this shouldn't be a gem
but if you have a car without it it is
last but not least is the hemi sound and
power
is awesome
[Music]
now this is all based with the bighorn
that i have
and your features may vary depending on
your model there are higher end models
like the laramie
that who knows what wizardry is going on
if there's something that your dodram
has that you consider a hidden gem
i didn't mention let me know i hope you
enjoy this and don't forget
you know
