Ram 1500 offers three different engine options, and now the base V-6 is more than reasonable choice - it is the best choice for anyone choosing to drive a pickup truck even when they are not really very much towing or hauling.
Former base V-6, 3.7-liter produces 210 horsepower anemia, has been dropped for 2013 in favor of versions of the Chrysler Pentastar V-6, here is tuned to make 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. This is standard on SLT models and HFE. Six cylinder just started to get a little tense around 80 kilometers per hour on the highway, as it is futile to try to overcome the mass Ram. Until then, it sounds almost a little like a V-8, up to about 3000 rpm, even a little better than the slightly less powerful Ford V-6. In other words, do not feel at all like a weak sauce, and if you only use your truck for occasional sweaty stuff, it's an excellent pick, and relief at the gas pump. The Ram six get the best gas mileage in the classroom, mpg 17/25 with an eight-speed automatic, before the stop / start technology is included - and towing is rated as high as £ 6500, who said Chrysler was also the best of all six cylinders, full-size trucks.
The new automatic, it does not feel at all busy, and although it takes a few rounds to get used to spin buttons to shift - or Chiclets clicking paddles on the steering wheel instead. You really have to concentrate to dial into gear lever instead of grabbing. What did he do during the six-cylinder can not be overstated, though. It makes the relevant powertrain choices. This is a major step towards efficiency in the Ram, such as the eight-speed sedan Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger.
Aging Chrysler 4.7-liter V-8 remains in the lineup on Tradesman models and as an option on the SLT. as a bridge for the fleet and later richly appointed. Standard on SLT Outdoorsman and trucks, it is a familiar powerplant is pegged at 310 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque, and acceleration is not much more powerful than the V-6 when unladen. Gas mileage is definitely lower, but the drive before it becomes a viable provider of power through a six-speed automatic.
And gas prices no object, of course, we will Palaver for the HEMI. Enchantment ripple through the cabin and arm hair follicle every time you goose the gas pedal. The busty eight now makes 395 horsepower and 407 pound-feet, thanks to variable valve timing for both (VVT) system and closed-off cylinder, and is connected to one of the six-speed automatic or a new eight-speed gearbox. This is the machine of choice, with muscle power and acceleration, and allows fast acceleration 0-60 mph 6.7 seconds and the highest towing rating lineup -, 10 450 pounds in the long bed, rear-drive form. Model year but has not hit £ 11,500 2013 lineup does not include the heavy duty version capable figure, which itself is 200 pounds shy of the best towing figures available from Ford and GM.
Eight-speed automatic, available only in the beginning of January 2013, will be standard with the V-6 and V-8 in most models, although some mid-grade, HEMI-powered Rams will continue to use the six-speed automatic. Four-wheel drive will be available in the Ram 1500 lineup. In any model, part-time system will be available, but on-demand system Ram is only available in 5.7-liter HEMI is equipped versions.
It's not only rude that makes Ram HEMI fun to drive. Transportation and towing is another strong suit of Ram, but in recent years, riding and handling - various trucks - has won us over, too. The Ram steering is now electric, and it's faster than ever, with decent on-center feel. It's not fair to expect a lot of feedback from large-wheelbase, four-wheel-drive truck, so it does not. It's still about the best you'll find in a full size truck.
Ride quality now even more depending on how you outfit your truck. Chassis and suspension has been reworked, with a retuned suspension (control-arm, independent front) gives Ram usual attitude is more relaxed, even in the unladen 4x4 models.
The new setup has also been designed with an optional air suspension in mind. Air suspension seems adapted from those found in the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and if you trace the lineage that vehicle, you probably guessed it is also related to one of the new Mercedes GL Class. No matter the origin, it's a setup that could use a little more softness in the dynamic setup. Setup offers five ride height (normal, aero, 1 off-road, off-road 2, and park mode), and allows best-in-class ground clearance, step-in height, and departure / breakover angles. It can be changed by the driver via the keyfob, to lower step-in height for or loading - but with more attention paid pressing suspension on pace to better aerodynamics and fuel economy was better then, there remains poor adherence to surfaces bumpy and uneven texture. As a result, ride quality is firm and a little more tense than before. Combining flexibility in another mode air suspension with ride smooth day-to-day basic configuration, and we can be assured for the ante for the premium price of $ 1,500.
