Shoppers in need of a vehicle that can handle heavy-duty jobs and daily drives to the grocery store alike are sure to love what the 2024 RAM 1500 has to offer. Here are just five of the must-have features that make the RAM 1500 such an icon in its class.
1. Powerful Engine Configuration
The 1500’s base model comes equipped with a standard 3.6L V6 24V VVT eTorque engine, producing 305 horsepower and 269 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine configuration is powerful for most drivers’ job duties and recreational activities. Those in need of more power, however, can opt for the available 5.7L V8 HEMI MDS VVT eTorque engine producing 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque.
2. Towing and Payload Capacities
The 1500’s base model sports an incredible standard maximum towing capacity of 7,760 pounds and payload capacity of 2,320 pounds when properly equipped. Shoppers like you already know this is impressive for a vehicle in its class, and would meet the needs of many drivers’ day-to-day lives. Should you need more towing power, however, we can help you to increase this capacity with other trim levels and configurations.
3. Comfort and Convenience
Your truck was built to be comfortable, too! You’ll love its standard 4-way manual adjustable driver seat, which ensures you’re as comfortable as possible while driving, and its USB ports located conveniently throughout the cabin, which make staying charged and connected a breeze. You’ll also appreciate its standard RAM Clean Air System, which keeps your cabin air fresh and nearly allergen free by removing up to 95% of particulates.
4. Modern Infotainment
The 1500’s standard infotainment system is powered by Uconnect 3 technology and centered around a 5-inch touch screen display. This system includes many of the features you expect as a modern driver, such as voice-activated controls and streaming audio. Drivers who want more, however, might opt for available Uconnect 5 technology, 8.4-inch touch screen display, and both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Capabilities.
5. Standard Safety Features
The 1500’s base model is packed with standard safety features, including Electronic Roll-Mitigation, Stability-Control, Hill-Start Assist, and Traction Control. Higher-tech driver-assistance features are also available, including Lane Keep Assist, Blind-Spot and Cross-Path Detection, and Full-Speed Forward-Collision Warning Plus.
