About The Ram 1500

The Ram 1500 has long been a favorite of critics and customers alike, offering incredible capability while simultaneously giving you ride and interior comfort that is previously unheard of in the world of pickup trucks. The split-folding tailgate and lockable bed boxes give you advantages over competing trucks as well, and a huge list of configuration options makes it easy to dial in exactly the truck you want.

There are two different engines offered, a V6 and a V8, both mated to mild hybrid systems. The V8 option gives the 1500 the best-in-class hybrid payload capacity of 2,300 pounds, as well as best-in-class hybrid towing, with a capacity of 12,750 pounds. The off-road-focused Rebel trim adds excellent functionality in the dirt, and the available air suspension gives you the option of five different ground clearances. Inside, you’ll find an extremely well-appointed cabin, packed with the latest technology and luxury vehicle levels of high-quality materials.

What the Critics Say

“The Ram's interior is its most surprising and delightful attribute. The upper trim levels feature carefully selected materials—leather, metal trim, open-pore wood—and the kind of attention to detail we expect in a Mercedes-Benz S-class. Even basic versions have sound ergonomics, crisp digital displays, and buttons and knobs that are satisfying to the touch.” - Car & Driver

“The Ram 1500 has been one of our highest-rated full-size pickup trucks for the past decade or so. The reasons why are many but include an upscale interior, a surprisingly comfortable ride quality and, of course, the utility you might expect from a large pickup truck.” - Edmunds

Ram 1500 Features

Ram 1500 Towing

Full-Sized Functionality

The Ram 1500 is built with a frame made of 98% high-strength steel, toughness is built into its DNA. That’s why you’ll find a maximum payload of 2,300 pounds and a maximum towing capacity of 12,750 pounds, making it a standout in its segment. But it doesn’t end there, the 1500 has advantages that can’t be expressed in raw numbers. The 60/40 split multifunction tailgate and lockable bed boxes give you cargo storage and access options that you don’t find elsewhere. 4-corner air suspension as a factory option is a huge advantage over the competition, with the option for selectable ride height that makes off-roading easier.

Ram 1500 Interior

Luxury Interior

There are a number of factors that go into the 1500 having the best interior in its class. Some of this is obvious when you look at it, like the excellent materials that go into its construction. But more subtle features include things like active noise cancellation. The 1500 also has most available speakers of any truck in its class, thanks to an available 19-speaker Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System. And thanks to a panoramic sunroof with a full 10 square feet of glass, the cabin will be filled with natural light. The back seat has the most leg room, 45.2 inches, of any truck in this class, and the back seat even have a reclining option, another feature you won’t find elsewhere in this class.

Ram 1500 Uconnect 5

Packed With Technology

Advanced technology has gone into making every aspect of 1500 ownership better. With available Uconnect® 5 NAV and a 12-inch touchscreen, as werll as an available 12-inch digital instrument cluster, navigation and the other infotainment functions couldn’t be easier. Options like Trailer Reverse Steering Control and towing-specific navigation make towing so much easier than it was in the past. And available Selec-Speed® Control makes it easy to maintain a consistent speed across all sorts of off-road terrain, previously an incredibly difficult thing to achieve. Available wireless charging and a Wi-Fi hotspot give the 1500 an extra boost in connected functionality.
