RAM 1500:Review the specs, features and pros & cons

RAM 1500 Safety

As part of the 2019 redesign, Ram has improved the 1500’s safety, featuring six standard airbags plus side curtain airbags, strengthened door beams, crumple zones and a high-strength steel frame rated at 50,000 psi. Optional extras are available in 2015+ models, such as reverse cameras and ParkSense® parking assist to further aid the driver. Older models, like the 2011, are still packed with safety features, such as:

• Front-seat side and full-length side airbags
• Four-wheel anti-lock brakes to keep the car from skidding
• Electronic stability and traction control to keep you steady during turns

No matter what the year, with its size you are very well protected inside the cab, while its elevation offers stability on any surface.

RAM 1500 Interior

With a big body comes big interior space, and the Ram 1500 provides the best legroom of its class in both regular and crew cab configurations. With Bristol leather trim as standard across all new 1500s, you can be assured of a comfortable feel.

Generous cabin storage space means you won’t run out of room for equipment. The cab offers a quiet drive with reduced wind and engine noise in a cleverly designed interior.

RAM 1500 Technology

The Ram 1500 has many technology features available on recent models from 2013, enabling the modern truck user to drive and manage their vehicle simultaneously:

• Climate control
• 8.4" touchscreen
• HD radio
• Keyless entry and ignition
• Bluetooth

On the Ram's 2019, you can expect more driver's aid technologies, such as:

• Blind spot monitoring, so you won't miss any vehicles that come up to the driver's side and rear 
• Tire pressure monitoring system, which reports real-time tire pressure information to keep your ride running smooth

Not to mention, the latest model allows you to connect your Apple or Android for a hands-free calling, music-playing, and texting experience. Whether you want to use your 1500 for work or personal use, its range of available technology affords you plenty of choices. The driver assistance system is only standard on five of the eight models, so make sure to check the specs before you buy.

RAM 1500 Space

The Ram 1500’s standard cab is a two-door regular cab. However, this can be upgraded to the four-door crew cab with more backseat space than previous models. Both options give ample space for the occupants, and large windows improve the feeling of size.

The bed is also customizable, ranging from a standard 5.7-foot length to a maximum 8-foot. A telescoping steering wheel fitted to every model gives further choice and comfort in driving position.

RAM 1500 Comfort

The 1500’s rear suspension delivers a smooth ride on any road and doesn’t compromise its towing or hauling capabilities, while the eTorque mild hybrid system improves gear changes by applying electric power to the wheels, bringing better fuel efficiency along with it.
