Performance

Although the Ram 1500 is considered a light-duty pickup, the vehicle was designed for performance. The steel frame is much stronger and resists twisting. The pickups come standard with a 5.7-liter, eight-cylinder engine that easily tows up to 12,750 pounds. Carrying a load is also never a problem. The pickup capably handles up to 2,300 pounds. Despite the engine's size and 360 horsepower, the vehicle has a fuel rating of 17 miles per gallon in the city and 23 miles per gallon on the highway. If you desire to save even more at the pump, choose a model with a 3.6-liter, six-cylinder engine. All of the models come with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Exterior and Interior Highlights

The multi-purpose tailgate makes it easier to access items or wash the bed. The gate has a 60/40 split that enables you to open one side, both sides, or pull down the tailgate. Add the quick kick bed step that neatly hides beneath the rear bumper for even more convenient access to the truck bed.

The Ram 1500's interior is one of the most luxurious found on any pickup. The centrally located 12-inch touchscreen on the infotainment system is fully customizable. Split the screen for multiple displays. Pinch the screen to zoom in and out. Under the screen are push-button controls for adjusting cabin temperature, seat functions, climate control, and infotainment system instructions.

Technology

All occupants enjoy concert-quality sounds thanks to the premium sound system that comes with 19 speakers. The media center also features USB ports to ensure that mobile devices are always powered. The driver benefits from the seven-inch digital cluster display between that lie between the tachometer and speedometer. The display creates HD 3D images in full color.
