The Rundown
Ram really has started to set the bar for half ton pick-up trucks, and it continues to set that bar higher and higher. The Ram 1500 is no exception. The Ram 1500 does not just make a name for itself as a solid truck but has created a whole slew of new features that make other trucks pale in comparison. Due to a host of desirable features that are not found anywhere else, the Ram 1500 feels like a luxury truck. The cab interior may not be flashy, but it feels like we have stepped into a more refined vehicle. Taking it on the road adds more depth because the ride is smooth and seamless. The Ram 1500 has quickly risen to the top of the pick-up truck category and it won’t be leaving anytime soon. We are going to discuss why the Ram 1500 is such an impressive vehicle and you are sure to see why it should be your next truck.
What is New in 2022?
There are a few different things new in 2022, specifically a few different package options have been added to the lineup. The first thing Ram did was add a new package, a tough BackCountry Edition to add to either the Big Horn or Lone Star trims. In essence it’s a more affordable off-roading edition. Also available now is the G/T option for the Laramie and Rebel trim levels. This includes paddle shifters, a console mounted shifter and cold air intake. Making the Laramie and Rebel trims even sportier, which we did not imagine was possible. The big release of the year was the 10th Anniversary Edition package for the top tier Limited trim. This adds even more luxury to the Limited trim with special logos and designs, an option specific paint color and even more comfortable and grandiose interior materials.
What Makes the Ram 1500 So Unique?
In response to an increased desire for unique tailgates, the Ram 1500 has developed its own. The Multifunction tailgate for the Ram 1500 has the functionality to split into hinged 60/ 40 sections for quick access directly to the bed, without a need to go over the tailgate. This makes adding loads particularly easy. We love this option! Another fantastic feature is that in the bed walls, Ram has added different areas for storage directly into the bed frame. This makes an especially great storage area for bungee cables, tie-downs and straps. Another showy feature car heads love is the visible exhaust pipes, to showcase how much power you have on your truck. You can always trust Ram to be innovative. Pushing the boundaries with their truck and giving you the best possible technology, a truck can have.
What Engine Options Does the Ram 1500 Have?
The Ram 1500 has a few different engines, each with their own pros and different benefits. The base engine is a 3.6-liter V6 engine paired with a 24V hybrid motor to help give your 1500 some extra pep. The next engine up is the 5.7L V8 engine which can be upgraded to have a 24V motor as well. There is also the V6 3-liter diesel engine option for all you diesel lovers out there. Our favorite part of the diesel option, despite the obvious pros of a diesel engine, is the great fuel economy that the Ram pumps out of their diesel engines. All engines are paired with a seamless 8-speed automatic transmission. When we say seamless, we really do mean seamless, this is one of the best shifting trucks that you can find on the market. You could also add the air-suspension option available on most trims to make the ride even more comfortable than it already is.
Summary
The Ram 1500 is not always the truck we always see making headlines, but it currently is one of the best-selling trucks in America. Outpacing many other trucks that come close in technology, but never come close in refinement or comfort. We recommend the Ram 1500 to all those needing a truck with more luxury but not looking for an extravagant price tag. You really cannot go wrong with a Ram 1500.
