2021 Ram Truck pulling a boat

In 2019 over three million trucks were sold in the United States. According to Car and Driver, trucks are the top-selling vehicle type year after year.  From work trucks, off-road vehicles to day-to-day driving, trucks are America’s number one choice of vehicle.

If you’re in the market for a full-size truck, there are lots of options to choose from. Check out eight reasons why RAM trucks are truly superior trucks to the competition.

  1. Functional and Exemplary Styling

The beauty of the Ram 1500 styling is that it offers a variety of trims that fit all different lifestyles and preferences. Within the different trim levels are an array of wheel options, exterior colors, grille styles, interior choices, and additional packages to make the Ram your own.

Catering to off-road enthusiasts, the Rebel and TRX trims are stocked with everything needed to take on the trails.

The Tradesman has fewer bells and whistles but is powerful and gets the job done in style. The Big Horn, Laramie, and Limited trim levels feature luxuries and technology that can’t be matched.

The Ram truck is not just about style but also has substance. Its iconic style is designed with functionality in mind with impeccable attention to detail.

This can be seen from its one-of-a-kind multi-functional tailgate. While it still maintains the functionality of opening like a traditional tailgate, it has a 60/40 split. This allows the tailgate to be opened like doors, giving you closer access to the bed and a wider range for loading.

Other unique, functional details are the power running boards that adjust for your entry and extra storage options including, the optional Rambox cargo management system.

  1. Multiple-Engine Options

The Ram truck offers numerous powerful engine options. There are V6 and V8 options, both with 8-speed transmissions. The V6 and V8 are both partnered with eTorque 48-volt hybrid technology or the option to forgo the hybrid system with the Hemi V8 engine.

The EcoDiesel V6 engine is diesel-powered, delivering better gas mileage and 480 lb-ft of torque, more powerful than any other diesel truck in its segment.

Green Car Journal has recognized the Ram as the Green Truck of the Year for two straight years, thanks to the Ram truck’s EcoDiesel and eTorque engine options.

  1. Unparalleled Cabin Comfort

While the Ram 1500 has plenty of off-road capabilities, the interior exudes luxury rather than feeling like a utilitarian, rugged vehicle. Even on standard models, the spacious and premium interior sets it apart from other trucks in its segment.

Rear passengers will be more than comfortable with optional reclining seats. The Ram also provides 45 inches of rear row legroom, the roomiest in its class.

The Ram cabin boasts unique attention to detail and storage, with optional floor storage, a reconfigurable console, and top and bottom glove compartments.

For the ultimate in luxury, unrivaled by other truck manufacturers, choose from the Laramie or Limited Longhorn trim levels.

  1. Extensive Feature List

You truly can make your Ram fit your lifestyle and needs with all of the options offered.

The Ram 1500 offers many add-on packages, including state-of-the-art technology,  convenience options, bed utility additions, towing enhancements, and advanced safety features.

  1. Smooth Ride Suspension

The Ram truck rivals its competitors with its coil-spring suspension rather than leaf-spring suspension used by competitors. This provides a smooth and comfortable driving experience that cannot be matched.

Unique only to the Ram is a class-specific four-corner air suspension system. This innovative system adjusts the truck height automatically based on speed and driving conditions.

It can also be manually adjusted as needed for entering and exiting or loading the bed. Not only does this system provide a better driving experience, but it also helps with fuel economy.

  1. Five Star Safety Rating

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety ranked the Ram 1500 as its top safety pick. That’s no surprise as the Ram truck comes standard with numerous safety features, including 14.9-inch brakes, the biggest in the truck segment.

The Ram truck frame uses high-strength steel for maximum durability and strength, while some competitors use aluminum. The Ram comes standard with six airbags to protect both front and rear passengers.

Optional advanced safety features are first in its class, including LaneSense lane departure warnings, a blind spot identification system, guided parking, a surround-view camera, and a forward collision warning with active braking.

  1. Accessible Price Ranges

With so many different trims of the Ram available, there is one to fit every budget. Prices are highly competitive with other trucks in its class. The Ram is the better truck for the price as you get more bang for your buck in terms of standard options.

  1. Towing Features

The Ram truck promises a powerful maximum towing capacity of 12,750 pounds. An impressive suite of add-on features makes towing much easier.

The four-corner air suspension makes the hitching process a breeze as you can adjust the height as needed. Cargo view and back up cameras provide maximum visibility while backing up with a trailer or boat.

Trailer tow mirrors provide for additional visibility while towing but can be folded back when no longer needed. The unique trailer reverse steering control allows you to navigate the trailer’s direction from the driver’s seat.
