Other Years

RAM 1500 is a pickup truck of gigantic dimensions, which will become a real competitor of SUVs and an indispensable assistant in every matter. The car demonstrates extraordinary capabilities in the functions of transporting and towing goods.
RAM 1500 is a representative of the fifth generation of Dodge pickups. The car differs from its predecessors in massiveness, high technology and power. The indicator 1500 indicates a load capacity of up to 1.5 thousand pounds.

The exceptional appearance of the pickup is thought out to the smallest detail. The car is available in bright colors, with exclusive accessories that will increase functionality. The embossed hood and radiator grille are complemented by elegant and at the same time massive LED headlights, fog lamps and taillights.

Main characteristics

A line of four power units with an improved performance indicator is available for the RAM 1500 pickup truck:
• V-shaped 8-cylinder HEMI engine with a working volume of 5.7 liters with a system of hybrid technology eTorque;
• 3.6-liter 6-cylinder PENTASTAR engine;
• no less effective 3-liter V6 EcoDiesel;
• the legendary 6.2 HEMI V8 available only on the RAM 1500 TRX.

Reliability and stiffness of the movement is ensured by a strong steel frame. Off-road is easy to overcome with 33-inch tires.
The car has several options for access to the body. The trunk door is multifunctional: split 60/40, it opens to 88° even when towing, folding, or the standard opening option. On the side, there are spacious and illuminated niches for storing things with an outlet for charging devices.

The car has several configurations, which allows the owner to get a special design. Impressive 22-inch aluminum wheels and 22-inch all-terrain tires are available for the pickup.

The interior of the car is comfortable and spacious thanks to the high-quality sound insulation system. The seats are easily fixed in 8 positions. The double panoramic hatch is an indispensable source of light and fresh air.
Safety systems and driver assistants
The developers have improved the function of observing the row of traffic. The all-round camera allows the driver to monitor the situation around the vehicle. Blind spot monitoring system makes driving easier. Assistants also include parking assistant, adaptive cruise control and others.

Advantages and disadvantages

The developers have improved the aerodynamic indicators as much as possible. When reaching a speed of 50 km/h, the front spoiler in the lower part of the bumper is automatically extended. Design features, the raised shape of the hood and the sculpted surface of the roof, direct the flow of air to the rear spoiler.

The Speed Control system ensures a constant speed of the car when moving on uneven terrain. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving as much as possible.

Despite the universality of the pickup, it was not without its shortcomings. The car is quite clumsy on narrow city streets. Drivers also pointed out the lack of a manual gearshift mode.

The 2023 RAM 1500 is a full-size pickup truck that blends strong performance with a refined, comfortable interior. It offers a range of engine options and advanced features designed to meet the needs of both work and leisure.
