The Multi-Award-Winning RAM 1500 is Back and Better than Ever for 2020
When Cape Girardeau drivers need a hard-working pickup with brawn and brains, they know they can depend on the strength, durability, and technology of the legendary RAM 1500. The 2019 Truck Trend Pickup Truck of the Year returns for 2020 with an available EcoDiesel engine that delivers an impressive mix of efficiency and towing power.
The RAM 1500 is available as a Quad Cab with three-quarter-size rear doors or a Crew Cab with full-size doors and extra rear leg room. Quad Cab models come with a standard 6-foot-4-inch bed, and Crew Cabs can be had with a standard bed or a 5-foot-7-inch short bed.
On the inside, there's plenty of small item storage, thanks to a conveniently located available class-exclusive reconfigurable center console, available in-floor storage bins, and spacious illuminated door pockets. The rear seat bottoms fold straight up, providing access to a completely flat obstruction-free floor.
Safety
The RAM 1500 comes well-equipped with myriad standard and available features that help make tasks a little easier. The available multifunction tailgate features 60/40-split swing-away doors that open sideways almost 90-degrees, making it easier to load equipment without needing to reach over like a traditional tailgate. Even better, the tailgate is unrestricted by an attached trailer and can support up to 2,000 pounds.
The Uconnect infotainment system can be had with a 5-inch touchscreen, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, or a largest-in-class 12-inch touchscreen with customizable home screen, multi-touch functionality, and split-window capability. Smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto helps you stay connected, entertained, and on top of your schedule, without losing focus on the road.
Performance
Standard across the RAM 1500 lineup, a 3.6-liter Pentastar® V-6 with eTorque produces best-in-class V-6 horsepower (305) and 269 pound-feet of torque. Max towing capacity is 7,730 pounds.
Available on all trim levels except HFE, a 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 engine generates 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. Max towing capacity reaches 11,610 pounds.
The available 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 engine with eTorque Mild Hybrid System enhances towing performance and fuel-efficiency. Adding an available extra 130 pound-feet of torque, this engine achieves max towing capacity of 12,750 pounds.
New to the lineup, a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 engine provides increased fuel efficiency and an impressive 480 pound-feet of torque. Max towing capacity is 12,560 pounds.
