Ram has been a leading truck brand for decades. Ram consistently improves its trucks with the features that drivers are looking for. New technologies are changing the car industry at a rapid pace. The 2018 model year is quickly approaching, and Ram is already making the new Ram 1500 available. Here's a closer look at the 2018 Ram 1500. New Trim Packages Ram trucks are available in multiple configurations. On top of that, Ram offers the 2018 Ram 1500 in a variety of trim levels. The new Limited Tungsten Edition focuses on increased luxury. It includes faux-suede lining alongside leather and wood accents around the cabin. There is also the Harvest package which gives the 1500 a higher ride height, a mesh grille, and paint jobs that match many of the leading farm vehicle brands. Each trim package focuses on a different type of driver, but all of the packages offer extended value beyond what most drivers expect. Consistently High-Quality Ride The 2018 Ram 1500 continues Ram's long tradition of providing one of the best-riding trucks on the market. The key to this is the inclusion of advanced air-spring and coil-spring suspension systems that smooth out the ride. Despite the smooth ride, the 1500 maintains its ability to handle heavy loads while keeping the ride as smooth as possible. Performance-focused Designs The 2018 Ram 1500 is designed to outperform similar vehicles. To that end, Ram equipped it with a range of performance-focused features. Right now, the new 1500 seems to be the only truck of its kind on the market that has a diesel engine option which is great for fuel efficiency. The standard is a powerful V-6 that is both reliable and efficient. For more power, there is an optional V-8 that can drastically increase the amount of horsepower that you get. All of the different models come with an eight-speed automatic transmission. New Technology Features Ram added several new technology upgrades for the 2018 model year which will make the Ram 1500 a stronger work vehicle as well. Backup cameras are becoming a key feature on new vehicles, and it is now a standard feature on all Ram 1500 models. That way, you'll have an easier time backing up and avoiding accidents when the bed is full. Another new feature is easy-to-reach bed lighting controls which can be found in the cargo box and in the cabin. Having a switch in the cargo box lets you have better control over your lighting without having to get in and out of the driver's seat so much. The 2018 Ram 1500 also comes with an updated 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen which makes it easier to find and control various features throughout the vehicle. The 2018 Ram 1500 is expected to be in high demand this year for all of its new features and dependability. Check it out at your local Ram dealer today to experience it for yourself. If you need a lightweight truck with a range of great features, you'll likely end up driving home in a new 2018 Ram 1500. Image via ramtrucks.com
When manufacturers realize they have a winning formula, there is no reason to fiddle too much when bringing out another model. This is what happened when Dodge released the specs of the Durango SRT and, later that year, the R/T. Some of the specs were carried over to the R/T with just a few changes to put it in its own bracket. Discover some of the best features of the 2018 Dodge Durango. The Numbers Under the Hood All Add Up You never want to be a numbers expert quite as much when faced with a beast of a car. This happens to be the case with the new Dodge Durango as it starts off with a powerful 475 horsepower engine to power the Durango and whatever it happens to be towing along. Drivers will enjoy the powerful V8 engine as it purrs along in typical Dodge style. Speed is not compromised in this beast as it has an impressive 12.9-second quarter-mile. Durango Does Not Compromise on Style When the designers from Dodge brainstorm new ideas, it's pretty obvious that powerful and menacing make up two of the most sought-after design features of the new Durango. "If it works, why change it?" seems to be the motto of the 2018 Dodge Durango, and this means the front fascia and performance hood remain intact to promote the intimidating glare of the Durango. Head lamps, grille, and air vents complete the picture of a striking silhouette. The Interior Enjoys Stylish Finishes There are few things as frustrating as falling in love with the exterior of a car, only to be disappointed by a lackluster interior. The Durango does not disappoint as it offers a sleek and sophisticated interior that oozes both luxury and function. The interior favors a futuristic look with leather trim seats and a leather trim dash. The steering features multiple functionalities to ensure pure driving pleasure and clever lighting provides ambient light during the journey without distracting the driver. The Uconnect system is fully integrated and can use Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Competitive Prices for a Model in This Range When it comes to the 2018 Dodge Durango, a high price ticket is expected thanks to all the special features inside and out. It comes as a surprise to many who are on the market for the ideal SUV that the MSRP starts at $62,995 for the SRT. The R/T is a little easier on the pocketbook with a lower MSRP. This leaves plenty of room to add in a few extras and possibly also put some funds towards a boat for the ultimate weekend getaway. Scaling hills and beating traffic are only two of the aspects to enjoy when the 2018 Dodge Durango makes its appearance late summer 2017. Those who are on the fence between the SRT and R/T will have to weigh their options and needs to determine which is the best fit. Perfect for families and weekend getaways, the SRT boasts a towing capacity of 8,600 pounds, which might just shift the balance to its favor. " D O D G E " by Hugo-90 is licensed by CC BY 2.0
