2021 Ram 1500

It's available in eight trims: the Tradesman, Tradesman HFE, Big Horn, Laramie, Rebel, Limited Longhorn, Limited, and TRX. Its brawny exterior is characterized by the wide Ram grille, chrome trim, and features such as power running boards and a power-sliding rear window. Choose between two bed lengths — the standard 6-foot-4-inch or an optional 5-foot-7-inch — and practical features such as cargo lights, built-in storage bins, and a tailgate step.

Ram also offers a variety of appearance packages, including the Chrome Appearance Group, Tradesman Group, and Sport Appearance Group, so you can customize your ride. Truly stand out from the crowd with the Night Edition package which adds 20-inch black aluminum wheels, black-tipped dual exhausts, black headlight bezels, and black badging to the body.

Choose from one of five engines depending on what kind of power you need. The 1500's base engine is a 305-horsepower V-6 that delivers impressive acceleration and towing capacity. Gain even more strength with one of the following engines: a 260-horsepower diesel V-6, a 395-horsepower V-8 that's also available as a mild-hybrid, or a 702-horsepower V-8. This latter supercharged engine is only available on the TRX and can shoot the 1500 from zero to 60 mph in a mere 4.5 seconds. Every engine pairs with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission.

The 2021 Ram 1500 delivers a stable and comfortable ride more reminiscent of a sedan than a truck. All trims are available with four-wheel drive to help you handle challenging driving conditions. For off-roading excellence, however, choose the Rebel or TRX. These trims have adventure-ready features such as skid plates, an off-road suspension, and locking differentials. Tow up to an impressive 12,750 pounds when the Ram 1500 is properly equipped. If it's fuel efficiency you're after, the diesel engine gets an average of 22 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway.

With seating for up to six people, everyone will love riding in its comfortable and roomy cabin. For the most head and legroom, choose a crew cab. No matter the model, every 1500 is decked out in premium materials that make the truck feel like a luxury vehicle.

Take advantage of Ram's intuitive Uconnect infotainment system which comes standard with a 5-inch touch screen, a Wi-Fi hot spot, Bluetooth, USB ports, and a six-speaker sound system. Optional upgrades include an 8.4- or 12-inch touch screen, satellite and HD Radio, navigation, smartphone compatibility, wireless charging, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

Feel confident behind the wheel of a 2021 Ram 1500 thanks to a host of safety and driver-assist features. Standard and available technologies include a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, a head-up display, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and parking assist.
