Ram

The US market has always had an unwavering obsession with large types of utilitarian cars, which is perhaps the leading reason for the establishment of Ram, a subsidiary of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, and a spin-off of the Dodge marque. Formerly recognized as the Ram Truck Division, it is now a manufacturer of light- to midweight trucks and vans. Though the Ram lineup is relatively limited, each nameplate is presented with numerous model lines and some with exclusive and special editions.

What to Consider When Buying a New Ram Car

America is full of big, powerful vehicles, most of them taking the form of pickup trucks. However, locally produced models are far more capable and desirable in comparison to those made by international brands. This, combined with a few other characteristics, make Ram vehicles a bit different from your average fair.

Pros

Very powerful engine options
Bold and imposing curb appeal
High towing and hauling capacities
Refined and high-quality interiors
A lot more standard features than you’d expect
Decent reliability ratings

Cons

More expensive than the competition
Some models haven’t been updated in ages
Slightly behind segment leaders in utility

FAQs

What is the best Ram vehicle?

There are main types of Ram cars: pickup trucks and work vans. Of the former, the 1500 truck is definitely the most popular in America, and for good reason. It comes with a variety of body and engine configurations and boasts one of the best interiors in the segment. Both the ProMaster Cargo and Passenger vans are great options, though they don’t display the same level of cabin refinement as the trucks, which is unfortunate when paired with their reduced practicality.

How much does a new Ram car cost?

In general, Ram vehicles are not cheap. However, this is because their base specs are usually a lot better than their competition in terms of quality and features. The least expensive is the 1500 Classic, which does away with some of the premium tech to reduce the price to a reasonable $30,000 or thereabouts. At the other end of the range, the 1500 TRX dials everything up to eleven and sees the base price soar to an intimidating $85k. This is more than the top-spec 3500.

Which Ram truck can tow the most?

When equipped with the 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel engine, which develops 420 hp and 1,075 lb-ft of torque, the 3500 pickup can pull up to 37,090 lbs in goose-neck configuration.

Do Ram cars get good mileage?

Since the lineup comprises heavy vehicles like trucks and vans, all using large-displacement engines, most Ram vehicles sit extremely low in the ranking of cars with good gas mileage.

Are there any new Ram models?

As the automotive industry has begun wide-scale adoption of electric vehicles, Ram has announced that it will release a 1500 REV in 2024. Moving forward, the automaker’s latest models will likely include an electric option if they aren’t pure EVs from the start.
