One of the best-selling trucks in the U.S., the Ram 1500 holds its own by being tech-savvy, comfortable and capable, and appealing to a broad spectrum of buyers. With a few different engine choices, the Ram 1500 is sure to have something for everyone. The regular V8 has a healthy rumble, a not-so-subtle indication that there’s plenty of V8 power under the hood. Acceleration is smooth, and power delivery ramps up quickly without being jarring. The eTorque system offers the increased fuel economy of a hybrid without losing performance in the process. The 2-valve Frequency Response Damping shocks, which automatically adjust to changing road conditions, offer an excellent ride.

The heavy-duty Ram 2500 can move great weights in their bed and on trailers and create tremendous power. An optional Cummins diesel generates a mighty 1,000 lb-ft of torque. Yet while these heavy-duty trucks are the most capable the company has ever produced, they are also truly luxurious and civilized. So naturally, there’s a dedicated off-road version as well, called the Power Wagon. Despite being the “base” engine of the gasoline-powered 6.4-liter V8 provides excellent acceleration along with proper mid-range muscle for overtaking. The 8-speed automatic transmission, meanwhile, executes its shifts smoothly. The Ram 2500 delivers a tow rating of 19,370 pounds and a maximum payload of 4,520 pounds. The Power Wagon is the off-road specialist of the range. It deploys an ingenious suspension with disconnecting anti-roll bars, a 360-degree camera system, and a Warn winch with a synthetic line.

If you need to move a house or set up a new city, the Ram 3500 Heavy Duty is the truck for you. The Ram 3500 is the hardest-working, most capable pickup Ram offers that require a commercial driver’s license. This truck delivers up to 35,100 pounds of towing capacity, nearly 8,000 pounds of payload capacity, and an available engine that puts out 1,000 lb-ft of torque. There is no need to worry about luxury in this workhorse as Ram specializes in powerful civilized heavy-duty trucks. With the Ram 3500, you have a choice of engines, a 6.4-liter gas V8 and a 6.7-liter turbodiesel inline-6. The V8 is technically the base engine, but drivers will be delighted with the power it provides.
