Ram 1500 Power
The Ram 1500 offers many engine choices. The standard on most models is the 305-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with Ram's eTorque mild-hybrid electric-assist system. The 5.7-liter V8 is rated at 395 horsepower, and this engine has the option to add the eTorque system. The system replaces the alternator with a motor/generator that can store energy and add power for accelerating and passing. Ram did come out with a diesel engine, a 3.0-liter diesel V6 pumping out a respectable 260 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. Most Ram 1500s come with 8-speed automatic transmission and are offered in both 2- and 4-wheel-drive configurations.
Most Luxurious Truck In Its Class
Ram gave the exterior of the 1500 a refresh in 2020 with a narrower grille flanked by slim headlights on most models. The exception, the Ram Rebel, has a grille that resembles a handlebar mustache. In 2009 ram created the unique RamBox cargo management system, which has grown over the years and now offers a 115-volt outlet. The interior is second to none with exquisite materials that make it feel like an expensive luxury car, bolstered by a quiet cabin, exceedingly comfortable seats, and storage areas littered throughout the cab. In the newer models, you will find an outstanding 7.0-inch thin-film transistor display, Ram's Uconnect system is displayed on a massive 12-inch screen, and both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Ram 1500 Is A Top Safety Pick
You can feel safe in the Ram 1500 as it is the only truck to be named Top Safety Pick in 2019, 2020, and 2021 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It won thanks to features like the surround-view camera, adaptive cruise control, and hill-descent control. Ram knew that the 1500 would be towing most of the time, so they adapted their Blind Spot Monitoring system to account for a trailer. The Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path and Trailer Detection will scan blind spot zones beside and behind your vehicle and trailer.Â
