Versatile Exterior

When shopping for a Ram truck, there are plenty of trims available so you can find a version of the truck that best fits your needs and lifestyle. The 2020 trim choices include the Limited, Laramie Longhorn, Rebel, Laramie, Bighorn, and Tradesman. Drivers have a choice of a 4×2 and 4×4 drivetrain, and the option of a quad cab with a 6.4-foot box or crew cab with a 6.4-foot or 5.7-foot box.

In addition to a variety of different trims, there are also upgrades that you can get to further personalize the truck and the features you need to give you the best vehicle for your lifestyle. These upgrades include the Built to Serve edition, which is a lineup that delivers patriotic details to pay homage to each branch of the Armed Services.

There are also two packages available. The Night Edition package pairs all-black exterior details with your choice of exterior color. There is also a Black Appearance package, which makes your truck completely black.

Multifunction Tailgate

The tailgate of the Ram 1500 has a variety of unique features that offer drivers the convenience to use their box for fun or work. Available with the Ram 1500 is a 60/40 split swing-away door that opens at 88-degrees. The tailgate also can act as a traditional tailgate and swing down. A great benefit to the swing-away doors is that you can still have access to allow for easy access to your cargo, even when you are towing large trailers.

Also available on the box of the Ram 1500 is a RamBox Cargo Management System. This system includes two drainable storage bins located on the sides of the box of the truck. These bins offer versatile storage that allows you to lock valuables inside. They are also weatherproof and illuminated.

Powerful Engines

There are four engine choices available on the 2020 Ram 1500. Drivers can opt for a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engine or choose to add eTorque to the same engine. Both engines get 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. The difference between the engine with eTorque and the one without is the towing capabilities. The engine without eTorque can tow up to 11,610 pounds while the eTorque engine can tow up to 12,750 pounds.

Another engine choice is a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with eTorque. This engine gets 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque and can tow up to 7,730 pounds.

The last engine choice is a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 engine, which gets 260 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. Using this engine, you get an excellent towing capacity of 12,560 pounds.

Standard with all the engines is a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission that optimizes the efficiency of the truck, helping to deliver excellent fuel economy.

Technologically Advanced Cockpit

Inside the Ram 1500, you will find advanced technology right at your fingertips. Available with the truck is a Uconnect 12.0, which is a 12-inch screen that delivers split-screen capabilities as well as pinch and zoom technology. The screen gives you access to navigation as well as controls for climate, media, and other apps that you can connect to the vehicle. The system can connect with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so that you can sync your phone with the truck and access phone calls, texts, playlists, and navigation.

With the available SiriusXM with 360L and SiriusXM Guardian, you can have access to music and safety services, including remote vehicle start. There is also an available 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot that allows you to access the internet, even in the most remote places.

Comfortable Interior

The interior of the Ram 1500 is designed for comfort. Inside, you can get available features like extra legroom, a reclining rear seat, under-seat storage, and rear-seat fold-down center console. Each trim offers multiple options for interior colors and details so that you can customize your interior in a design that fits your tastes.

Other features that you can enjoy within the vehicle include a dual-pane panoramic sunroom that measures ten cubic feet and can open up to give you beautiful views.

Safety Systems

To ensure the safety of every driver, Ram 1500 models have available features that will give you additional support while on the road. Available safety systems that are available include blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path and trailer detection scans that help ensure that you care safe while driving and maneuvering, even with a trailer.

Additional safety systems that are available include LaneSense lane departure warning, which provides a visual alert when you unintentionally drift into another lane. The system safely guides you back into position. Another available system is adaptive cruise control with stop and go, which will brake when you encounter slower traffic in front of you by using forward collision warning with advanced brake assist.

To help with parking, the Ram has a parallel and perpendicular park assist that delivers guidance when parking. The parking system will direct you when to engage the gear position, brake, and accelerator as it controls your steering into a parking spot. Finally, a 360 surround-view camera is available for drivers so that you can get a complete 360-degree view of your surroundings to help with parking, hooking up a trailer, and unloading loads.
