2020 Ram 1500 Mt Airy MD

What engines are offered with the pickup?

The core of the capability of every truck starts with its powertrain; having a strong engine that can push out high amounts of power that is transferred through the tuned systems and body of the truck is essential to being able to reliably tow heavy payloads. The starting engine that comes standard with most 1500s is a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine that aptly pushes out 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque potential. Thanks to popular demand, Ram has brought back a diesel variant to this V6 engine, with a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 engine. On top of being able to produce 260 horsepower and a solid 480 lb-ft of torque, this engine is heavily favored for its effective fuel economy, being rated at 32 mpg while driving on the highway. If you are looking for the best power that Ram has to offer with the 1500, the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 has got you covered. This V8 powerhouse comes standard starting at the Laramie trim level and can pump out 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque potential. When properly configured, the Ram 1500 is rated to haul 2,300 lbs of payload and tow up to 12,750 lbs of capacity.

What are some of the key aspects that enhance the 1500?

The engines in the 1500 push out immense power that give this pickup the ability to haul incredible loads. In order to achieve these high payload and tow capacities, the power has to be effectively transferred through the vehicle’s systems to eventually reach the ground. This starts with the 1500’s smooth eight-speed automatic transmission, that can offer a range of gearing to allow for optimal driving conditions. The chassis also establishes a strong foundation for pulling heavy loads, with a solid-steel body that resists warping and deformation when placed under immense strain and weight. The Ram 1500 comes with a few different formations, including a Quad Cab that includes a 6’ 4” bed and a larger Crew Cab with roomy interior volume and either a shorter 5’ 7” bed or an optional larger 6’ 4” bed. The pickup itself also brings in a great number of other features that enhance the 1500 including a rearview camera with dynamic gridlines, LED headlights with adaptive lighting, auto start/stop technology that can be turned off, and a full Uconnect multimedia system housed on a touch screen display up to 12-inches.

What features enhance the safety of the 1500?

Ram has done an impressive job integrating technology into the 1500 that enhance the convenience and safety of the pickup truck. The 1500 is one of the safest trucks out there, earning an official NHTSA overall safety rating of five-stars. This is thanks to the many safety and security features engineered throughout the 1500, such as the advanced airbag system that places airbags throughout the interior of the cabin. When geared towards off-road capability, the 1500 totes additional underbody skid plates, all-terrain tires, and torque distribution tuning for enhanced performance. The 1500 can also be found with features such as advanced adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, surround-view camera, and much more!
