When it comes to finding the right truck, your one-stop answer is RAM 1500 line. With a model designed to cater to every need, Ram Trucks are an American institution in themselves. Ram was originally a part of Dodge’s line light-duty pickup trucks. The name Ram first appeared in Dodge’s trucks from 1932 to 1954. In 1981, the production of Dodge D- and B-series trucks were stalled. This is when a redesigned Ram and Power Ram entered the market at full throttle.

The Ram pickup truck has won the Truck of the year award five times: the second-generation Ram won the award in 1994, the Ram Heavy Duty took the award in 2003, the fourth generation Ram Heavy Duty in 2010, and the Ram 1500 in 2013 and 2014. This firmly establishes the pedigree of this pickup truck. This multifaceted pickup offers about 11 trims, three cab and bed styles, and a variety of powertrail.

The current Ram 1500 can be traced back to its 2009 model when it was still known as Dodge. The 2017 RAM 1500 Sport 47275A has a V-6 engine that produces 269 lb-ft of torque and a fuel-efficient diesel option with 420 lb-ft, and the requisite Hemi V-8 (410 lb-ft). A soft-riding air suspension and excellent cargo management options sweeten the deal.

However, the interiors are much smaller than other pickups in the same range, but the ergonomic design makes it feel spacious. The front-row seats are comfortable with ample support. It is the rear seats used by the crew that needs lateral support. Another clever design is the rotary shifter which is located on the center stack. By doing so it saves much-needed space. The finish gives it an upscale feel.
