If you’re looking for a truck, it’s likely that you’re looking for something that can handle itself, a truck that holds a lot of power – but a lot of comfort too. You want a truck that can go wherever you take it, that can traverse new paths yet undiscovered (at least by yourself), a truck that can stand up to whatever elements are thrown at it. And if you’re looking at RAM trucks, you’re in luck. RAM trucks have many dazzling features, but when it comes down to it, a RAM truck is a truck that will last, that will carry you through good times and bad, that will be by your side, always reliable, with a quiet power.
But if you’re still not convinced, here are the top seven reasons you should consider RAM trucks for your next vehicle purchase.
#1. A Truck Designed for Every Purpose
There are currently five models available in the 2018 RAM lineup. And though each truck can be used for an unlimited number of purposes, each is designed to fill a certain need. For instance, the 2018 RAM 2500 is crafted to be able to haul heavy duty loads. The 2018 RAM 3500, just slightly more expensive, can haul those same loads but is crafted to cover longer distances with them. Finding the truck that is right for you will come down to your individual needs not only as a person but as a driver.
#2. You Can Lease Your Truck First
For many people, RAM trucks represent the dream truck. Though reasonably priced, this dream truck can often be too expensive, typically coming in at a cost that is over $30,000 – even before premium features and accessories are added on. But leasing a RAM truck presents an alternative and a way to drive RAM trucks without paying a price that you can’t afford. And the lease rates are nothing if not very reasonable. For instance, the 2018 RAM 1500 leases at $375 a month, a doable amount for many different types of people all throughout the country.
#3. RAM Trucks are Powerful
Even the 2019 RAM 1500, one of the least expensive of all RAM trucks currently being offered, has immense capabilities. For instance, it boasts a V8 engine, one that has the power to tow more than $12,700 pounds. For the person that travels with a boat, a trailer, or even work equipment, this makes the typical RAM truck an easy choice. On top of this, the maximum payload for the 2019 RAM 1500 tops out at an impressive 2,300 pounds when all is said and done, allowing the 2019 RAM 1500 to handle just about anything you challenge it with.
#4. You Have a Choice of Engines
Though not all engines will come as a standard part of the car, the choice allows you to upgrade to suit your needs and uses, depending on what they are. Let’s look again at the 2019 RAM 1500. Though the 2019 RAM 1500 comes with a 3.6L V6 engine, you have two options to upgrade (one of which is mentioned in the item above). These options are the 5.7L V8 engine and the 5.7L V8 engine with torque, each bringing your more power and capability. The 5.7L V8 engine with torque, for instance, can even help you to save gas with technologies such as variable valve timing. It’s even classed as a “mild hybrid.”
#5. The Safety Features Will Make You Feel More Comfortable On the Road Than Ever Before
After all, no matter how daring you might be, safety is still important. The safety features of the typical RAM truck include a number of features designed to detect threats to the truck – and the passengers within it – as they happen, allowing the driver to react with plenty of warning time. This is essential for many truck drivers towing an object, as the object, large as it is likely to be, can severely restrict visibility. Features like rear cross traffic alert allow you to gain some of the sense of your surroundings back, as does the blind spot monitoring feature and the feature of trailer detection, both offered as a standard part of the 2019 RAM 1500.
#6. For Such a Powerful Truck, the Fuel Efficiency is Impressive
Of course, it’s not the fuel efficiency of a smaller car or even a hybrid, and this is something that is important to keep in mind. But when you choose the biodiesel capable engine, the 3.0L Ecodiesel V6 engine, you improve your mileage considerably. Even for city driving, you’ll get 20 miles to the gallon. Of course, highway driving is even more impressive, giving you a phenomenal 27 miles to the gallon.
#7. Storage Space to Please Both Driver and Passenger
Some RAM trucks offer more storage space than you might think, such as a storage bin – though it must also be noted that this feature is not available in a number of models of RAM trucks, so it’s important to do your research and ask any questions that you might have, as this is likely to clarify any confusion that you might have over discrepancies between the models. But the storage capabilities extend even past this include a front center seat cushion storage, allowing the driver and passengers of the truck alike to take advantage of the space as best and most thoroughly as they are able to, something that can prove difficult in other trucks of a similar cab space but with less options for ample storage.
Choosing a RAM Truck for Your Next Vehicle
There are certainly a number of amazing advantages to buying RAM trucks, from superior preventative safety features that will keep you out of even the most minor of car accidents to incredible towing capabilities offered on even some of the less expensive RAM models. So if you’re considering purchasing a RAM truck for your next vehicle, as you should be, be sure to visit your local RAM dealership in person.
