How much can a Ram 1500 tow?
Ram 1500 trucks have a maximum available towing capacity of up to 12,750 pounds, providing the ability to haul utility trailers, campers, watercraft, and more. Additionally, equipment like Trailer Reverse Steering Control for easy parking and Active-Level™ Four Corner Air Suspension to distribute weight help improve your driving experience.
Which Ram 1500 has the highest payload?
Ram 1500 trucks equipped with the Quad Cab, rear-wheel drive, and 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 with eTorque can achieve a maximum payload capacity of up to 2,300 pounds. Models equipped with the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 come close with a maximum payload capacity of up to 2,090 pounds.
What does eTorque mean in a Ram 1500?
Both 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 and 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engines are available with an eTorque 48-volt mild-hybrid system that provides a boost of power for improved acceleration, smoother gear changes, and improved fuel economy. This system is a belt-driven unit that replaces the alternator and augments a small battery pack, allowing the vehicle to operate like a traditional gasoline-powered truck.
What are the differences between Ram 1500 Crew Cab, Quad Cab, and Extended Cab models?
Compared to Regular Cab models, the Crew Cab, Quad Cab, and Extended Cab all provide additional interior space, with Extended Cabs using a smaller rear-hinge door to access the rear row. Crew Cab and Quad Cab models are the most popular due to their traditional four-door design, with the Quad Cab offering a spacious rear-row that's typically paired with a long bed, while Crew Cab models provide even more interior space and a short bed, allowing you to store items inside the cabin rather than out in the elements.
Which Ram 1500 has a diesel engine?
Ram 1500 trucks built between March 2014 and January 2023 were available with a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 engine that produces up to 260 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. This quiet and efficient diesel powerplant is a beloved option for its available EPA-estimated 33 MPG highway in select configurations.
