Looking to buy a modern truck for yourself? Look no further because the Dodge RAM 1500 is the only truck you are going to need.
The Dodge RAM trucks have a new platform structure that allows for an improved towing capacity, as well as more powerful engines and transmissions. It has a new front bumper design and a larger grille that gives the truck a bolder look than its predecessor.
The truck also has new accessories and technology integrated into it and the option to mount light bars on the front. There are now even more available features like the Tailgate Assist System, which helps make opening your tailgate easier.
Having said all that, let us take a closer look at all these features and why you should choose the Dodge RAM 1500 as your next pickup truck.
New Platform Structure
The new RAM 1500 is built on a lighter and more rigid frame that optimizes the vehicle’s performance, efficiency, and safety. This rigid chassis gives the truck better handling while providing an excellent driving experience. So, you can enjoy an exhilarating drive every time you get behind the wheel.
The new platform also helps improve fuel economy by as much as 15 percent over its predecessor. That means it will cost less to fill up your tank. This upgrade also minimizes cabin noise for a quieter ride overall.
New Front Bumper Design
The front bumper has been redesigned to improve aerodynamics, cooling, and towing. That means the truck can get better fuel economy while still maintaining its off-road capabilities. The air intakes are also larger than before, which assists with cooling, but also makes the truck look more aggressive.
Larger Front Grille
The larger front grille on the newer RAM 1500 models (after 2019) allows for better cooling. It also provides better aerodynamics, which will increase your towing capacity.
A larger, more efficient radiator can be used in place of multiple smaller radiators or air scoops to help improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. The benefits are even greater with a diesel engine due to its higher heat output from all three sources—engine, transmission, and transfer case—while driving at highway speeds. These improvements are due mainly to its increased surface area but also because airflow is better controlled since there is less turbulence inside the engine compartment.
You can also mount a light bar for the Dodge RAM in the front. That will be ideal when driving in foggy or snowy conditions or if you just need a bit of extra lighting. Adding the Dodge RAM light bar in front of the grille will also give the truck a cool look.
Tailgate Assist System
The RAM 1500 features a tailgate assist system on all trim levels. This system is standard on the Limited and optional on other trims. It automatically opens and closes the tailgate, so you do not have to worry about it at all. In addition to being convenient, this feature provides added security when you want to keep your belongings safe in your truck bed.
The tailgate assist system is part of the power liftgate that is standard across all trim levels except for the Classic and the Tradesman. The power liftgate allows you to open both front doors at once or just one door from inside the cab or outside of it. The power liftgate even works if only one key fob is within range of your vehicle. There is no need for both keys at once anymore. You can open up just one door with just one key fob.
Powerful Engine and Transmission Combo
The 2020 Dodge RAM 1500 comes with a 3.0-liter V6 engine. It is an EcoDiesel engine that generates up to 290 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. The engine also boasts an eight-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifters for manual shifting or extra speed during highway acceleration.
The new electric power steering system reduces drag on the engine while improving fuel efficiency by up to one percent over previous models in its class. The system also makes turning effort easier than before while increasing stability at high speeds by using a wider range of lock-to-lock turn ratios than standard hydraulic systems (15 degrees).
It is also designed to provide feedback through the steering wheel when driving off-road or on gravel roads.
So there you have it. These are the reasons you will want to buy one of the new RAM 1500 models. These trucks look great, feel comfortable, and drive superbly. So, there is no reason why you would opt for any other truck while the RAM 1500 is available.
