Ram 1500
The Ram 1500 is a full-size pickup truck nameplate from Ram, designed for work, towing, hauling and everyday use. Across its model years, cab and bed choices, engines, drivetrains, payload, towing ratings and equipment can vary substantially. Shoppers should compare the exact year and trim because specifications, features, recalls, known problems and ownership costs can change over time.
