RAM is known for having some of the most high quality and reliable trucks in the market, and this looks to continue into 2022 with the new Ram 1500. This updated Ram will be available in Regular, Extended, and Crew Cab models. Let’s look at what we know so far regarding this new RAM 1500.
The Regular Cab version of the 1500 will now be called the Ram 1500 Classic, and it is going to be based on an older body style, hence the “Classic” monniker. There’s going to be a wide range of powertrain options to pick when it comes to the 1500. The base engine is a 3.6-liter V6 with 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. Next up is a 5.7-liter V8 engine with 395 horsepower and 411 lb-ft of torque. Exclusive to the TRX is a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine with a monstrous 720 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. A diesel engine is also available, which will be a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V6 that produces 260 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. All of these engines will be paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The 2022 Ram 1500 will be able to tow up to 12,750 pounds and has a max payload of up to 2,320 pounds.
RAM is well known for the luxuriousness of their interiors, mixing creature comforts with a rugged exterior. Throughout the cabin you’ll find high quality leather and soft-touch materials that give the 2022 RAM a sense of class and sophistication. Some great technological features are present as well, such as a 12-inch horizontal infotainment system that has a perfect balance of touch controls and physical buttons and knobs. Some great safety features are present as well, like automatic braking, blind-spot monitors, active lane control, adaptive cruise control, and a rearview camera mirror.
Simply put, the 2022 RAM 1500 promises to be the best pickup truck in its class, dominating the market in everything it has set out to achieve. If you want a pickup that has better technology, better ride quality, and more capabilities, look no further. RAM has yet to announce the release date for the 2022 1500, but based on previous release dates of their trucks we expect the new 1500 to come out in Fall of this year.
