2017 Ram 1500 Review

 What's New for the 2017 Ram 1500?

Ram has shuffled the lineup for 2017, giving you even more ways to enjoy the truck's comforts and features. The newest addition is the Ram Night. This package uses black to spice up the grille, wheels, and even the headlamps. A sport performance hood declares its intention to rule the day as well as the night. Adding to the fun, shoppers can get the package on regular, quad and crew cabs. Every Ram, regardless of trim level, has an extremely quiet cabin. It's one of the reasons that Ram 1500s have remained at the top of the Edmunds Buyers Guide for three years in a row. Also contributing to their good reputation, high quality cabins are a hallmark of the brand. Even in the base edition, you get better material quality than you will in a rival brand. Higher editions add leather and other top quality touches that make the Ram cabin over into something of an SUV. A special cloth-and-vinyl combination spruces up the racy Rebel edition. The large 8.4-inch UConnect touchscreen includes Bluetooth audio streaming, a text-by-voice system, and Siri Eyes Free. You can even get a WiFi hotspot and automatic emergency response through UConnect Access. When every convenience has been accounted for, you'll enjoy power-ventilated and power heated seating, power-adjusting pedals, and automatic temperature controls.

Thinking outside the box, Ram has added an eight-speed automatic transmission to its performance package. Businesses will appreciate the low price of the V-6 edition and its excellent fuel economy. The V-6, which has 305 horses under the hood, can tow 7,600 pounds when properly equipped. With even better gas mileage, the turbodiesel V-6 stands alone in its class. Capable of towing 9,400 pounds, the smart engine kicks out 420 lb.-ft. of load-moving torque. At the top of the ladder, a 5.7-liter V-8 generates a potent combination of its own. Torque is rated at 410 lb.-ft., plenty to keep this truck moving even if it is heavy with cargo. Horsepower is rated at 395. Tow ratings top 10,600 pounds. All of these trucks benefit from Ram's unique five-link coil suspension. No other truck has this set-up, and no other truck can claim Ram's above-class ride quality. In addition, Ram remains the only truck on the market to offer a load-leveling air suspension. This feature contributes to safety and fuel economy.
