Ram makes it easy to love the 1500 pickup truck. It comes with the equipment you need to get any job done, whether it’s towing and hauling or tackling rough terrain, and the features you want in your daily driver. This modern truck has the latest infotainment system and a stereo for playing your favorite music on the way to work. With its wide variety of powertrains and a trim for every need, there are many reasons to buy a used Ram 1500 truck.
The Power
Ram offers the 1500 with four different powertrains. Even the base engine is an impressive 3.6-liter V-6 with 305 horsepower. It uses Ram’s eTorque system with an electric motor to help improve fuel economy. A 5.7-liter V-8 puts out 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque, and you can get with or without eTorque. The diesel engine in the Ram 1500 lineup is a 3.0-liter V-6 with 260 horsepower, and a new TRX trim comes exclusively with a 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 that generates 702 horsepower.
The Cabin Features
Whether you need a truck with just the basics for a work site or you’re looking for luxury and comfort, Ram has a 1500 model that will work. The Tradesman work truck has a bench seat in the front, vinyl upholstery, and a small 5-inch touch screen, but you can easily bump up to the Big Horn to get upgraded interior trim, cloth upholstery, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Moving up through the lineup adds features such as heated front seats, heated rear seats, leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and driver’s seat memory settings.
The Technology
An 8.4-inch touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available for the Big Horn and come standard in the Laramie and Longhorn. The Limited adds an impressive 12-inch touch screen with the Uconnect 4C NAV infotainment system. This upgraded screen has excellent graphics, large icons that are easy to see and read, and intuitive controls. It uses touch, pinch-and-swipe technology, and easy-to-navigate menu settings. The Uconnect 5.0 system with a 5-inch touch screen comes in the Big Horn, and depending on the trim, satellite radio and navigation are either standard or optional.
The Safety Features
Advanced safety systems make any ride safer in the Ram 1500 truck. All trims have a rearview camera, while the Big Horn adds front and rear parking sensors. The Laramie has a forward-collision warning system and automatic braking, while the Limited adds a blind-spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert. Add the Advanced Safety Group to any trim, and it will come with adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera system, and lane-keeping assist. A head-up display is an option for most trims, and you can also get a digital rearview camera.
Ram gives drivers many reasons to buy a used Ram 1500.
