Find the model that works for you by stopping in at LaFontaine Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Walled Lake.
Engines That Give You Support
Let the diverse engines the Ram supplies support you through every task you tackle.
The standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine with eTorque generates 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. If you’re interested in the best-in-class torque for extra robustness, go for the available 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel engine that generates 260 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque.
Two different 5.7L engines generate 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque; however, one incorporates eTorque mild hybrid technology. No matter the engine, though, you’ll get the seamless shifting power of the Class-Exclusive TorqueFlite® 8-speed automatic transmission.
Take Your Pick of Towing Capacities
Check how much each engine can tow before deciding on the one you want. If you stick with the standard 3.6L engine, the Ram 1500 tows a maximum of 7,730 pounds when properly equipped.
Motorists who want the maximum towing capacity should think about outfitting their Ram 1500 with a 5.7L engine with eTorque. It hauls 12,750 pounds at its best, when properly equipped.
The other two engines, the 5.7L without eTorque and the 3.0L power source, will respectively tow 11,610 pounds and 12,560 pounds in a Ram 1500 that’s outfitted correctly.
To ensure you can carry everything you need, get the Ram 1500 Tradesman trim equipped with 4×2 capability. It allows you to carry up to 2,320 pounds of payload.
Get a handle on your trailer without leaving the cab. Trailer Sway Control comes standard and keeps the trailer on track while you drive. With the optional Trailer Reverse Steering Control system, you can twist a dial on the dashboard to move the trailer in the same direction as your Ram.
Keep an Eye on Your Trailer
Monitoring systems can make both your towing and your regular travel much easier. To keep an eye on your trailer, the available Trailer Camera Wiring can be strategically placed where it’s needed most. By adding the Blind Spot Monitoring system with Rear Cross Path Detection, you’ll gain extra visibility when you attach a trailer.
To get a head’s up on the systems that are engaged as well as on your speed, take a look at the available 7-inch Driver Information Digital Cluster Display. This same information, including the next set of directions, can be found right on your windshield through the Head-Up Display option. Your eyes stay focused on the road instead of dangerously dipping down.
Get Unexpected Storage
You rely on your truck to store your gear for work or weekend fun, so it’s nice to get extra, unexpected room. The available RamBox® Cargo Management System offers a lockable, weatherproof storage area on either side of the truck bed. If you load up a wet tarp or other damp equipment, the drainage holes let any excess liquid seep out.
