3 Versatile Features of the 2024 RAM 1500
Lineup of Heavy-Duty Engines
The RAM 1500 offers 3 robust engine options to ensure that it can meet a wide range of power and performance demands. The standard engine is the highly celebrated 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 that cranks out 305 HP and 269 lb-ft of torque. This allows the base RAM 1500 to boast a best-in-class payload rating of up to 2,370 pounds, making it ideal for hauling serious loads. Meanwhile, its 8,110-pound towing capacity allows you to tow boats and campers with ease.
If you require heavy-duty pulling strength, the thundering 5.7-liter HEMI V8 is ideal. Generating an incredible 395 HP and up to 410 pound-feet of torque, this engine enables a best-in-segment towing capacity of up to 12,750 pounds, making it game for towing heavy trailers and machinery. Performance enthusiasts are treated to the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 that delivers a staggering 702 HP and 650 lb-ft of torque, allowing this full-size pickup to go from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds!
Advanced Performance Features
The RAM 1500 is equipped with a suite of exclusive performance-enhancing elements that allow it to be both gritty and refined. During everyday driving, it offers an exceptionally smooth ride, thanks to having a coil-spring rear suspension instead of the traditional leaf-spring suspension that other trucks come with. What’s more, the available air suspension also helps soak up road imperfections for a cushioned ride, while raising and lowering the vehicle’s height accordingly for improved aerodynamics.
Standard rear-wheel drive ensures optimal weight distribution, giving the RAM 1500 excellent balance, resulting in spectacular cornering prowess, while the 8-speed automatic transmission delivers silky-smooth shifts for a refined drive. When driving off-road, the available 4×4 system gives you stellar control when navigating challenging terrain, while the electronic locking differential sees to equal torque distribution to ensure maximum traction at all times. Meanwhile, all-terrain tires, underbody skid plates, and tow hooks ensure you’re well-equipped to deal with the rough environment.
Spacious and Luxurious Cabin
The RAM 1500’s interior, especially in the higher trims, resembles that of a luxury SUV. In addition to boasting a capacious 132 cubic feet of passenger volume to allow for a seating of five, it can feature deluxe amenities such as heated and ventilated front and rear seats, a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, running boards, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 12.0-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.
