From Your Ram Dealer: 4 Features Drivers Love About the 2024 Ram 1500

1. Incredible Performance

The Ram 1500 can be had with one of three robust powerplants. The first is a 3.6L Pentastar V6 is a mild-hybrid motor that promises plenty of grunt with its 305 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. Traditionalists will favor the 5.7L Hemi V8, which ups performance figures to 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque. Developing a monstrous 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, the Ram 1500 TRX model’s supercharged 6.2L Hemi V8 is the most powerful engine in the lineup.

All three motors send their power through an exceptionally quick and smooth 8-speed automatic transmission. This transmission’s gearing provides generous torque at low revs, so acceleration never feels sluggish when transporting heavy loads.

2. Class-Leading Towing and Hauling 

While the 3.6L V6 engine combines with the Ram 1500’s sturdy construction to allow for an admirable towing capacity of 7,730 pounds, the 5.7L V8-equipped models can pull up to 12,750 pounds. Maximum payload capacity is just as impressive for the V6 at up to 2,300 pounds. Buyers can choose between a box length of 68.4 or 76.8 inches.

3. Serious Off-Roading Capability

Almost every Ram 1500 trim offers an advanced 4-wheel drive system for greatly increased traction as you travel through challenging environments. Climbing over rocks and ruts is no problem thanks to the truck’s standard ground clearance of 8.6 inches, independent short-and-long-arm front suspension, and multi-link rear suspension. Available Selec-Speed control maintains throttle and braking, so you can focus on the path ahead of you.

The Ram 1500 Rebel adds a slew of enhancements that help it to conquer the toughest trails, including extra-tough shock absorbers, 33-inch all-terrain tires, and a lifted suspension.

4. Plethora of Creature Comforts

Not only can the Ram 1500 serve as a dependable workhorse, but it keeps passengers cozy with a number of desirable amenities. Many trims come standard with dual-zone automatic climate control, heated and ventilated seats, and an 8-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support. Natura Plus perforated leather upholstery and beautiful open-pore wood accents make the Limited and Limited Longhorn models truly luxurious rides.
