The new Ram 1500 is busy getting a lot of work done while also making Ford and Chevy very nervous. It's been rated the top full-size half-ton truck in America by some of the most highly-regarded reviewers in the country. When you get behind the wheel of the new Ram at Max Dye Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Salem IL, there will be one very powerful engine under the hood and some of the best hauling and towing capability you can buy in back.
Performance in the new Ram 1500
Ram gives you an exhilarating array of engine choices including V6 and V8 gas-dominated powertrains. In either case, the power plant can include a 48-volt hybrid assistant, although you can get the 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 in a more pure format without the electric sidekick. If you get the 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine, you'll get a whopping 480 pound-feet of torque, which beats the comparable Chevy Silverado and the GMC Sierra models.
Towing and hauling capability in the new Ram 1500
Truck drivers from Centralia and Flora, IL will be able to tow as much as 12,750 pounds, which is enough to beat every rival except the Ford F-150, coming in just slightly higher at 13,000 pounds. If you select the Crew Cab, towing won't be quite as much as the Quad Cab but you will still be right at 11,500 pounds. With its high-strength steel frame, Ram can tow a maximum payload of 2,300 pounds.
