Ram 1500

Ram has added a new trim level to its 1500 light-duty pickup range that builds on the popular Ram 1500 Big Horn and Lone Star editions. The Ram 1500 BackCountry is aimed at people with active lifestyles that want a vehicle capable of going off-road.

Ram has announced the fifth and final installation in its military-themed Built to Serve limited-edition pickup line. The program has been running for a while now and was intended to build trucks to honor all five branches of the US Armed Forces.

A few years back, I had the opportunity to check out the Ram Rebel TRX Concept at the Chicago Auto Show Concept and Technology Garage, where I gazed upon its shiny red trimmings, and enveloped my ears in its impressive exhaust note.

The current lineup of Ram trucks are some of the best looking, most comfortable, and versatile pickups on the market. For the 2020 model year, there are two new cosmetic packages for those looking for a more sporty look.

Ram has announced that its third-gen EcoDiesel 3.0L V6 engine will debut in Q4 2019. The engine will be available in all Ram 1500 models, meaning that Ram Rebel buyers can get diesel power for the first time.

Even though it’s early in the model year, it will be tough to bump this vehicle off my favorite list for 2019. This week, I’m behind the wheel of the new Ram 1500, which won the North American Truck of the Year (NATOY) during the 2019 NAIAS in Detroit.

It seems like all the big truck makers are trying to set themselves apart with features that others don’t offer. One of the features that some OEMs are touting today are fancy tailgates that do more than just sit there.

Cold weather is kind of fun, but kind of sucks too. It sucks early in the morning when it’s 20ºF in your car, and you don’t have remote start. If you are in a cold weather state and need a truck that is ready for the frigid conditions, the 2019 Ram 1500 North Edition is the ticket.

Just a few weeks back, I had the opportunity to live with the 2018 model of the RAM 1500 Limited, and thought it was an excellent and very comfortable premium truck. Now, I’ve driven the 2019 model, and it’s even better than before in many ways.

For those of you interested in the totally new 2019 RAM 1500, we now have a breakdown of the pricing and trim packages you can get the truck in. Starting price for a base model quad cab Tradesman 4×2 starts at $31,695 before destination, but if you want to option up your Cowboy Cadillac, you’d better have deep pockets.

I’m often asked the question: who would buy a $50,000 or $60,000 pickup truck? I think the answer is pretty simple – the head cheese… the leader of the pack… the boss. If you’re running a construction crew or you own your own farm, you want a vehicle that is both highly functional, but also provides the creature comforts that you deserve at this point in your career.

Ram trucks are best known for their rugged character, but now the company is taking aim at the luxury segment, with a series of ultra-premium trucks. Fresh for 2018, the Ram Tungsten Edition takes aim at the high end of the market, with sophisticated design touches both outside and in.

Ram has unveiled a new special edition truck called the Ram 1500 Sublime Sport. The truck comes in a bright green color and rides on black wheels. The green looks rather like the Hyper Green available on Jeep Wranglers.

When the “Flame Red” Ram 1500 pickup arrived on my doorstep, I immediately knew that she needed a name, and with the help of my 4-year-old, we gave this lumbering lady the title “Hemi,” which at the time seemed quite appropriate.

Ram is showing off a new special edition truck that will be at the 2017 Chicago Auto Show. The truck is called the Ram 1500 Copper Sport. This is the first time that Ram has used the Copper Pearl paint color, which looks great.
