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.
