The Hemi Difference
The 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 is arguably the most significant V8 production power plant on Earth. Just look at the advantages of its design—like 100 more horsepower and 10 percent more fuel efficiency than its predecessor.* Not to mention that this exclusive design is used in top fuel dragsters.

Handling  
Ram 1500 combines 4x4 independent front suspension with rack-and-pinion steering and an optional electric transfer case to provide you one of the best handling trucks on - or off- the road.
Towing And Hauling  
Have some questions about towing with your Ram truck? See our towing guide for specific information on towing and payload capacity. Then see how easy it is to fill up with Ram Loading Zone.
Wheel Bases  
Choose from a long or short wheelbase. The short wheelbase affords you a 6'3" box while the long wheelbase gives you a spacious 8 feet of room. But if you want to see the biggest wheelbase of all, don't miss Dodge's Raminator Monster Truck.
Quad Cab  
Four full size doors that open to almost 90°. Room for six. Tons of storage, including an available center armrest that doubles as a business console. With so many common-sense features, it's no wonder Ram 1500 has the best-in-class* interior space. And don't think that compromises payload space - you get your choice of two full-size cargo beds (6'3" and 8').

Hydroformed Frame

We've limited traditional stamping and welding on our truck frames - hydroforming is here. "Hydro what?" you say. In other words, Ram's bones are molded with highly pressurized water. This revolutionary manufacturing process is not only more cost effective, but the structural benefits kick some competitor butt:

  • Greater strength and impact absorption
  • Reduces the number of welds, adding even more durability
  • Stronger and stiffer for a more solid feel
  • Weighs less than stamped metal.
