2017 Ram 1500

The Ram 1500 offers three possible engine configurations. Go with a 5.7-liter HEMI V8, engine, a three-liter EcoDiesel V6 engine that boasts a driving range of 754 highway miles, or the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, which features a high-tech thermal management system to give the truck optimal performance ability. The towing capacity varies depending on the engine you select, but the maximum towing power is an impressive 10,640 pounds when the truck's appropriately equipped.

There's a performance feature on the 217 Ram 1500 that makes it easier to take off when you're on an incline and not roll backwards. Even after you remove your foot from the brake, the system maintains brake pressure for a bit longer to keep the truck stable. <p></p>Ram 1500 trucks also come with integrated trailer hitches. They ensure it's easy to tow cargo without hassles, because you don't have to take extra time to attach a separate hitch.

You'll find that the inside of the Ram 1500 has lots of space, just like its truck bed. For example, if you purchase a crew cab model, it's available with a handy in-floor storage system that keeps things out of the way, but within easy reach. There's also a dashboard glove box that's easy to access when you're behind the wheel.

The 2017 Ram 1500 has advanced multi-stage front air bags, plus supplemental side air bags. Plus, power assisted anti-lock disc brakes help you stop confidently, even on slick surfaces. <p></p>
