Ram 1500 Features Worth Knowing

The Ram 1500's coil-spring rear suspension is the most distinctive engineering choice in the half-ton segment — delivering a ride quality that is noticeably smoother and more composed than competitors' leaf-spring setups, particularly when the truck is unloaded. The available 5.7L HEMI V8 with eTorque mild hybrid provides a satisfying blend of power and improved fuel economy, while the 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 offers exceptional highway fuel economy for buyers who prioritize efficiency. The Ram 1500's class-exclusive RamBox cargo management system, available multifunction tailgate, and available 12-inch Uconnect touchscreen demonstrate the design ambition that has made it one of the truck segment's most awarded vehicles.

What to Look for When Shopping for a Ram 1500

Powertrain selection is the first key decision: the 5.7L HEMI with eTorque is the most popular choice and delivers excellent all-around performance, while the EcoDiesel rewards high-mileage highway drivers with significantly better fuel economy. The TRX is a separate performance-focused variant for buyers who prioritize off-road performance above all else — a genuinely extraordinary machine but one with a correspondingly premium price. For buyers considering 4x4, the Rebel and TRX trims come with more capable off-road hardware and are worth the look if Adirondack trails or seasonal off-road use is part of your lifestyle. Our finance department at Nemer CDJR of Saratoga will structure a competitive deal on any Ram 1500 you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

What engines are available in the Ram 1500?

The Ram 1500 is available with a 3.6L Pentastar V6, a 5.7L HEMI V8 (with available eTorque mild hybrid), a 3.0L EcoDiesel V6, and the supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 in the Ram 1500 TRX. Each powertrain serves a different priority — our team at Nemer CDJR of Saratoga can help you determine which best fits your driving patterns and hauling needs.

What is Ram eTorque and how does it benefit the Ram 1500?

Ram's eTorque system is a mild hybrid technology that uses a belt-driven motor-generator to provide supplemental torque, improve fuel economy, and enable smoother stop-start operation. It's available on both the V6 and V8 powertrains and provides a meaningful real-world efficiency benefit for buyers who cover significant highway miles in and around the Saratoga Springs area.

Does the Ram 1500 offer a diesel option?

Yes. The 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 is available in the Ram 1500 and delivers outstanding fuel economy relative to the gasoline options — particularly on highway-heavy routes. It's a popular choice for buyers who commute long distances or travel frequently and want to reduce their weekly fuel costs without sacrificing the practicality of a full-size truck.

What 4x4 systems are available on the Ram 1500?

The Ram 1500 is available with a part-time 4x4 system on most configurations and the full-time 4x4 system on the Ram 1500 TRX. Off-road-focused trims like the Rebel add additional ground clearance, skid plates, and all-terrain tires. Our team at Nemer CDJR of Saratoga can walk you through the 4x4 system differences by trim.
