- What's going on guys, Dustin with Custom Offsets.
Today I'm here with Junior.
- What up?
- We're back with another episode of The Tier List.
I dubbed it by the way.
I don't know if it's a thing. - The Tier List?
- The Tier List.
Trap horns everywhere you get what I'm saying.
- So can I trade mark it?
- Yes, let's do it.
- You're a little aggressive
I feel like it's such a generic term.
It's like being like the truck YouTube channel.
- Yeah, but why you gotta call me out like that.
So anyway, we're back with another tier list.
If you guys haven't seen it
we did one of these about a week ago now
and you guys said that you--
- About a week ago.
- You guys said you really liked them,
we're going to do another one.
So today we're ranking the Dodge truck generation.
Dodge/Ram let's get that out of the way right now.
We know they changed, right.
So we're going to start with the first gens
go all the way up to the fifth gens,
should be pretty cool.
Before we do that though
wheels, tires, suspension, customoffsets.com.
We're also doing a giveaway,
you can get entered at customersets.com/giveaway.
I think I covered all of it, right?
- Right. - All right.
That makes me uncomfortable,
I don't know why. - It actually hurts
- [Narrator] 1981 to 1993 first gen Dodge.
- Ready? Three--
- Wait, wait are we gonna explain what a tier list
do people know a tier list?
We kind of--
- All right you explain it.
- All right, tier list you got your rankings.
It's like fours all right.
There's like S, which is like your race tier
your like best of the best tier.
And then A-B-C-D-E-F.
And we've got first gen through fifth gen Dodges
we threw in the facelift in there for the third gens too
so we have six that we're kind of going over
and ranking them.
- So it should be pretty good.
- Yeah. -
- I'm excited for this.
This should be a great one.
We're talking--
- Considering the last one went so badly
because you would have an A
and I would have it as an F,
we'll see how this one goes.
- I have a feeling this one is also going to be
pretty polar opposite so.
And just to preface,
we're taking into consideration all
both half ton, three quarter, one ton, right?
- Yep. - Okay perfect.
Cool. Let's do it.
So first gen. - All right.
- Three, two, one.
A.
Oh S to you.
- I feel like sneaking those old trucks are F's
- Oh boy okay.
- So Darrell.
I picture his truck when I think of S tier right.
He's got a first gen Cummins.
It's on like,
I think it's full air ride all the way around.
He's on like forces
or some forged wheel or something like that.
Like the paint is just minty.
The thing is super clean, super dope
and like, that is what I think of
when I think of a first gen is his truck.
- Absolutely. I agree and I'm pulling my phone up
because I just want to double down on that.
And I forget what the guy's Instagram tag is.
So Avvblanc, I follow him
and he's got this absolutely gorgeous first gen Dooley.
And so like,
I struggled really hard not to put the first gen
in the S tier because they're classic trucks,
they're iconic.
My granddad had a 92W250
in that really like vivid blue growing up.
So they have a super soft spot in my heart.
They're just fantastic trucks.
- Yeah. And they look good.
They had it for a long time but,
and I don't know why, like
it was around for like three generations
of like the Silverado or that the case.
It lasted, that one generation lasted as long as like
three generations of other vehicles
but it still looks good.
And it's cool to see
that there's still a lot of them, right.
It's not like the,
some of those other trucks are just like rotted out
and like they just are what they are at this point.
There's a lot of them that are like in good condition still
and people are like bringing back up to speed
and everything like that
which is it's cool to see them I guess.
- And they look at lifted,
they look at slammed.
They look good as Dooleys.
They just are beautiful trucks.
So maybe this one won't be so polar opposite after all,
we'll see.
- [Junior] I don't know , I don't really like Dodge
- Jesus, here we go.
- [Narrator] 1994 to 2001 second gen Dodge.
- Three, two, one
B, whoa.
- [Junior] I hate second gen.
- What? - They look so ugly.
What?
- Have you seen the slop from ice age?
- Yes. - They look like that.
That is literally what a second gen looks like.
- But Twister bro.
- [Junior] I don't know what that means.
- [Dustin] The movie.
- [Junior] What? That's like saying like Sharknado.
It's like just some (beep) B list movie.
You can't be like, this is the reason why this truck--
- Did you really just,
this man's just said that Twister is a B list movie.
The internet is going to roast you so bad.
- I don't even know who's in that movie.
I don't know if I've even seen it, to be honest.
It's shark Sharknado.
It's the prequel to Sharknado.
- No Twister is a fantastic movie
and that, I think that solidified the second gen for me
was the red second gen in that movie
was just, it was iconic
and it was classic and it looked good in--
- This movie only has a 59% rotten tomatoes rating.
The Internet's going to agree with me
because the critics agree with me.
- Which one of us is right?
Is Twister a great movie or bad movie?
Let us know in the comments below.
- It looks like (beep)
it's got the same font as Friends,
which is also garbage.
- Bro it came...
(laughing)
Back on track though,
the second gen for me looks really cool.
I like them a lot
in comparison to some of the other body styles
of Ram trucks.
And again, I think it follows on that same thing for me,
it's super nostalgic, right
being a kid that was the hot truck back in the day.
- [Junior] And don't get me wrong,
there are some clean builds out there
it's just I'm mean this is my personal take on it.
It's not saying like Custom Offsets hates anything.
Just me personally,
they're not what I would pick to go with
or anything like that.
But there are,
I think that's when like the 12 valve was a thing
and that whole 12 valve--
- [Dustin] Correct.
- So it's not like they're bad trucks
or anything like that but it is what it is.
- Also Twister came out before I was born so.
- Oh my God. I forget you're a baby.
Yikes.
- [Narrator] 2002 to 2008, third gen Dodge.
- Ready? - Yup.
- Three, two, one E.
- [Junior] we agreed on something.
- That is the first time
in the two videos that are in this series
that we've actually--
- In our lives that we've actually agreed on anything.
- Yeah, that's pretty accurate.
I don't know, man.
The third gens didn't do it for me.
- [Junior] The face lift is a little bit better
but the first version of the third gen
is almost as bad as the second gen.
- [Dustin] Jesus here we go.
I don't--
- [Junior] The headlights sort of weird like fluttered
bubbly things on the bottom and--
- And that's not to say,
again I want to follow up on this.
Like Mitchell White has a beautiful.
- [Junior] Well his is a second version of it.
- I know but third gens in general can be done really well.
And I looked at one before I bought the Duramax
cause they're priced about the same in the market today,
but man, the interior in those trucks--
- [Junior] Trash, trash
- [Dustin] Kills me.
- [Junior] Yeah I was going to bring that up too.
- [Dustin] It's cheap and plasticky
and there's a bench seats are not comfortable.
I want to like them and I just can't.
So for that reason I put them at an E.
- Yeah same.
Interior is a big thing for me.
The headlights are still kind of weird
and like, I think of what is it like that blue color.
There's just that certain blue
of the third gen that they had
that just, I think when I think of it
and just being rusty and weird headlights
and awful interior.
Probably smells a bit like cat pee.
I don't know, I just can't do it.
- All right we went there.
- [Narrator] '06 facelift.
- I'm interested to see on this one, are you ready?
- Yep.
- Three, two one.
F.
- You like that one worse?
- Can't do it.
- That's the first version of the third gen.
- As if it wasn't bad enough
with the plasticky interior
and the not good bench seat and all of that
and then they changed the headlights.
- [Junior] They made them better.
They look almost like fourth gen headlights at that time.
- I don't like it,
I don't like the way the front end looks.
I don't like,
again it's not to say that I hate those trucks right.
Because like I said, Mitchell's truck is beautiful
and it looks really good
and I looked at a third gen for awhile
because they were just in my price range
but man, I just can't do it.
- What. - I'm sorry.
But I can't.
- I can't believe you put that as an F.
- I can't believe you put the second gen as an F.
- Well yeah, have you seen it?
- Get out of here.
- You're comparing the cute little baby from Ice Age
to the sloth from Ice Age.
And you're putting the baby as an F
and the sloth as a what, B?
There's no comparison there.
Or the saber tooth tiger that's like,
we're done, I'm done.
- Never seen Twister
but actively quotes and refers to Ice Age.
Answers all of the questions I had.
- [Narrator] '09 - 18 fourth gen.
- Three, two, one.
C.
- All right yeah we're close.
- [Junior] Yeah.
- I like how you like turn to me super like,
- Well, cause I was waiting for another F
to come out of your mouth.
- No, I didn't.
I only graded one F.
Junior's so triggered about this.
- It doesn't even make sense
you put the one that almost looks like a fourth gen
as an F,
but then the fourth gen itself,
you give it a, what'd you say, B?
- A C, excuse me, C yep.
- That doesn't even make sense.
- Yours doesn't even make sense.
- Their sort of getting better with their interiors,
I think it was like when they had the longhorn packages
and stuff like that.
Maybe they had the third gens too,
they're still trash
but in the fourth gens they started actually like
making nicer interiors,
but like, I've also seen some of the fourth gens
where the interiors are still like
lackluster work truck at best.
And so I don't know.
- The fourth gen too I think is,
I think you could even make the case
that the fourth gen changed a ton over the nine years
or 10 years that it was in production, right.
Yeah I think 09 to 18.
Yeah, now I know that there's
technically the three quarter and one tons
lasted I believe a year longer whatever,
but either way,
they changed a lot over there
and I think early fourth gens
I'm not a super huge fan of, but later--
- That's because they were Dodges and Rams.
- That's yup, yup, yup.
Big brain over here.
But I think the later fourth gens looked pretty good
which is why I ranked them
kind of right in the middle of the tier list.
You know, they start like
when they came out with Delmonico red, for example,
Delmonico's one of my favorite
automotive like OEM colored to date.
Super good.
But I dunno they're good trucks,
they're solid, they look decent,
but yeah.
- I think they're really good,
there's some weird colors out there.
I think Tatted Olsen's got that like orange one.
- [Dustin] I don't know if I've seen that one.
- [Junior] Oh, it's I don't know what the color is.
There's like two of them in a photo at one point.
It's an interesting, I don't know.
But they started, yeah right
They started coming with different like paint jobs,
different colors
and just kind of getting out there,
here this is it.
- [Dustin] Oh that's kind of an odd color yeah.
- [Junior] Yeah that's got kind of crazy.
- It's like a pale burnt orange almost.
It's a little weird,
I don't know if I like that.
- It's different. - Yeah. For real.
But yeah, I don't know they're decent trucks
that's why I rated them where I did.
And I think that's why we came in,
you know kinda mid pack there so.
- Solid trucks.
- Cool.
- [Narrator] 19 plus fifth gen.
- You're ready for this?
- Are we ready for this, okay.
- Fifth gen? You ready for this?
Ready?
Three, two, one S.
- F - S
- I just put it an A, I'm just kidding.
- I was like what?
- You didn't have a reaction I'm like
- At first I thought you said S
and I was like so you doubled up to S to your trucks.
- No.
I just put it as an A.
I didn't put it as an S.
I feel like S too has got to be something
that's like more out there, hard to get, super unique
which is why I put the first gen there.
- And I respect that.
- But the fifth gens,
I like the way they look.
There's some phenomenal interiors
not to mention the giant 12 inch like Tesla screen
you can get you know.
- [Dustin] Yeah.
Yeah Ram came up heavy with the fifth gen
and they really, I mean they killed it.
OEM paint colors look good.
The grill looks good.
The headlight, tail lights look good.
The interiors are fantastic
probably and arguably one of the best interiors
in the market today.
They clear 35's basically factory, right.
With like a four inch lift you're stuffing 37s under there.
Everything about them is just a fantastic truck.
And I will own one someday.
I love them I want one, I just wasn't
the cards didn't align for me quite yet, you know.
So eventually I think that'll be in the garage.
I really like those trucks a lot.
- Yeah. I dig them.
There was the Drop Shop had one at LTN two years ago
when it basically first came out
and that thing was nuts like that.
They do a lot of good like builds and stuff right out,
like in general.
But just seeing that thing
which is a brand new truck at the time
and everything they did do it,
it was immaculate.
They're just dope trucks.
- [Dustin] Yeah and they look good.
I mean they look good lifted and skating on the highway.
They look great dropped
and you know, bagged laid out
and just they look good
in pretty much every build which is--
- Not to mention too what you were saying
about the headlights, taillights, all that stuff
that you see a lot of the fourth gen guys
like ringing right swapped.
He's got like the motorhome headlights
which looks similar to the fifth gens
but then his like taillights are fifth gen taillights
and they've got custom harnesses that hold them to it
and everything then like,
there's a lot of guys with the fourth gen's
trying to get closer to that fifth gen look.
- Go with like the OEM sport grill,
which has like the drop-downs and the little twisty guy.
Yeah. Yep absolutely.
So beautiful trucks either way.
I couldn't help.
I mean if you guys have watched the channel for long
you know I'm a big fifth gen Ram guy so.
- I think that's it.
- That's it.
It's another episode of The Tier List.
Thank you guys so much for watching.
If you have an idea for Tier List video
and you liked this one,
let us know down in the comment section below.
- I got a bunch of ideas.
- Do you? - Yeah.
- We're not doing Broncos.
- Why not?
- We're not, we're not, we're not, we're not doing that.
(indistinct)
- That's not a Bronco.
- They match, they're the same body style.
- They're the same body style?
- All right that's all we got guys.
