Performance and Capability
Under the hood, the Ram 1500 is available with multiple powertrain options, including a standard 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 with eTorque, a roaring 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 with eTorque that produces 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque, or a TRX-only Supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® V8 with 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. When adequately equipped, new Ram 1500 trucks deliver up to an EPA-estimated 26 MPG highway, helping owners and operators tackle daily commutes along Interstate 95 between North Kingston and Providence.
When it comes to high torque output, the larger Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 heavy-duty trucks blow away the Ram 1500 by offering the iconic 6.7-liter Cummins® Turbo Diesel engine that produces up to 370 horsepower and 850 pound-feet of torque, providing outstanding throttle response for towing and hauling. Plus, the Ram 3500 goes above and beyond with the available High-Output 6.7-liter Cummins® Turbo Diesel that produces up to 420 horsepower and 1,075 pound-feet of torque.
Designed for towing and hauling when properly equipped, the Ram 2500 offers a maximum towing capacity of up to 19,980 pounds, while the Ram 3500 offers a maximum towing capacity of up to 37,090 pounds in dual-rear-wheel setups. Even though Ram 1500 models may be the most economical choice for long-distance driving, they only provide up to 12,750 pounds of maximum towing capacity compared to their larger siblings.
Technology and Design
When it comes to technology, new Ram trucks are available with innovative options that improve comfort, convenience, and safety. Whether you choose a Ram 1500, Ram 2500, or Ram 3500, you can equip things like a 12.0-inch Drive Information Digital Cluster Display, Digital Rearview Mirror, and Uconnect® 5 NAV system. In addition, all models are available with a modern safety suite that includes Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Lanesense® Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop, and more to help you feel at ease during drives along Reservoir Avenue near Cranston and beyond.
Inside and out, the Ram truck lineup delivers packages that range from commercial-oriented basics to luxury-inspired amenities. Packaged into a light-duty chassis, the Ram 1500 maintains optimal maneuverability for those who enjoy spending time in tight areas new Warwick, while expanding comfort with features like perforated leather seats, open-pore wood accents, or an available 19-speaker Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System.
For those who need heavy-duty capability, the Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 feature a high-strength steel frame that facilitates productivity with attractive options, including Telescopic Trailer Tow Mirrors, a fold-flat load floor with under-seat storage, and available Auto-Level Rear Air Suspension. Plus, single-rear-wheel and dual-rear-wheel axle options for the Ram 3500 allow you to choose between agility and stability depending on your daily workload, with many drivers choosing the Ram 3500 for fifth-wheel or gooseneck towing.
How To Find Your Ideal Configuration
While choosing the right truck for the job is ultimately a personal decision, the team at Paul Bailey's Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is proud to provide personalized information and manufacturer-backed data to help make your decision easier. With various cabin sizes, bed lengths, towing capacities, and interior amenities, choosing the perfect truck for your needs begins with understanding your application on the job or around town.
For some drivers, the Ram 1500 is a sweet spot for towing smaller watercraft or commuting, while others may find that their beloved camper trailer better suits the suspension of new Ram Heavy-Duty trucks like the Ram 2500 or Ram 3500. And when it comes to off-roading, models like the Ram 1500 TRX® or Ram 2500 Power Wagon® deliver underbody protection, improved suspension systems, and locking differentials to tackle rough terrain. No matter your preferences for long-distance comfort or off-road durability, we'll take the time to answer questions, learn your preferences, and help you find the new Ram truck of your dreams.
