The Ram 1500 is hugely popular, and as a result there’s a large selection of trim levels and packages to pick from. We’re here to help you figure out which one best matches your needs.

Family Friendly Models 

Whether you’re hitching a trailer, or picking up the kids from school, the Ram 1500 Big Horn ($33,895 MSRP) and Ram 1500 Laramie ($39,995 MSRP) are two trucks that can do both with ease. With seating for up to 6, and plenty of comfort and connectivity features, the whole family will stay entertained and comfortable on trips of any length. 

Luxurious Models

If you’re looking for a truck that has the comfort of a five star hotel look no further than the Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn ($49,675 MSRP) and Limited ($52,875 MSRP). Heated leather seats, Uconnect 4C infotainment, and 9-speaker Alpine premium audio are just some of the standard features you will find in these outstanding Ram trucks. 

Hard Working Models

Ram has been known for their work trucks, and with this model you can see why. The Ram 1500 Tradesman ($26,495 MSRP) is a hard working truck that will help you get the job done, no matter how big. Available RamBox cargo management, numerous cab and bed combinations, and available bed liners all make this highly-customizable truck ideal for all your work needs.

Off-Road Models

If you’re looking for a truck that can drive over anything you put in its path, then the Ram 1500 Rebel ($44,740 MSRP) is the truck for you. While all Ram 1500 trucks are equipped to take you off the beaten path, the Rebel was designed for premium off-roading adventures. You’ll find an electronic locking rear axle, Bilstein monotube dampers, one-inch suspension lift, front suspension skid plates, all-terrain wheels, and Rebel tire tread inserts. Get five-passenger seating in the Rebel’s crew cab or quad cab body styles, and choose between rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive systems.

Hopefully this has helped get you closer to the right match, but if you need any further help we invite you to please contact our friendly and knowledgeable team. We’ll be happy to help.

Intro to the Hellcat-powered Ram TRX

By
Posted in Dodge News, Ram

Dodge has made the fight for the best high-performance pickup truck more interesting with the introduction of the Ram TRX. The TRX is a Hellcat-powered 702-horsepower monster of a truck. Eight inches wider than the regular Ram 1500 with better off-road capabilities, stronger frame, more sophisticated suspension, and impressive luxury, the TRX is seriously excellent.

The TRX starts just north of $71,000, but it’s a lot of truck for the money. No other stock pickup truck makes 700-plus horsepower. Between the TRX’s fenders and below its scooped hood is a supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8. Widely known as the Hellcat engine, this specific version produces 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The TRX has a claimed zero-to-60-mph time of 4.5 seconds and is said to complete the quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds at 108 mph. These numbers sound like something you’d expect on a sports car, not a truck that can go off road and tow 8,100 pounds. Mounted on a set of 35-inch all-terrain tires with 18-inch wheels that create 11.8 inches of ground clearance, the TRX can roll over anything. 

Ram has led the expectations for truck interiors with its latest half-ton pickups, which deliver rich-looking materials and incredible insulation from outside noise. That level of luxury and refinement will continue on the TRX, which is offered solely as a crew cab with the short cargo bed. Inside, the base model’s cloth upholstery and standard equipment is based on the Ram 1500 Rebel. However, the optional TR1 and TR2 packages make the cabin look and feel significantly more luxurious thanks to leather-covered surfaces and a mix of microsuede and carbon-fiber accents. The TRX’s flat-bottom steering wheel features a pair of prominent paddle shifters, but there’s also a floor shifter located on the center console. 

Dodge had a video that came out on the 17th of August revealing all this information, and more info is bound to come out when the release date comes closer. Stay tuned for more regarding the highly anticipated TRX.
