See Why Drivers Love the 2022 Ram 1500

April 01, 2022 · 3 min read

With its legendary reputation for delivering unrivaled strength and durability, the Ram 1500 has cemented its place as a leader among full-size pickups. The 2022 edition surpasses expectations by offering exhilarating performance, comfortable cabin space, and technology that drivers can't stop raving about. So, if you're in the market for a truck that can tick all boxes and offers something for everyone, here's why the 2022 Ram 1500 should be the first on your radar.

Incredible Performance

The 2022 Ram comes in six different trim levels: Rebel, Laramie, Bighorn, Tradesmen, Limited, and Limited Longhorn. Among these trims are five unyielding engines that each offer incredible horsepower and towing strength. The strongest is a 702-horsepower 6.2L HEMI V8 that's available for the TRX special edition models.

Another standout that provides both muscle and fuel efficiency is the 5.7L V8 with Mild Hybrid Technology that gets up to 395 pounds and can tow a 12,750-pound trailer. Even the smallest engine, a 3.0L V6, offers 260 horses and a 480 pound-feet best-in-class torque rating.

A Convenient Interior

When most people think of pickup trucks, legroom isn't something that normally comes to mind first. The Ram 1500's cabin changes this perception with 45.2 inches of legroom offered for passengers in the rear seats. Best of all, both front and rear seats can be reclined, with eight different angles for passengers to enjoy.

Other available interior features include a center console with a charging station, two different lockable glove boxes, in-floor storage compartments, and for sunny days or cool nights, a dual-pane panoramic sunroof.

An Accessible Exterior

Outside the 1500, you can opt for power running boards, which automatically deploy on each side of the vehicle whenever a door opens for easy in-and-out access.

In the back of the truck, there's the available Tailgate Assist, which not only allows you to open the tailgate remotely but also keeps it warm so there are never any opening delays based on colder weather conditions.

Stunning Technology

This pickup also offers some of the most groundbreaking technology features on the market, including the ever-convenient Uconnect 5C system, which features a 12-inch touchscreen and a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot function.

Another advanced feature is the available Head-Up display option. With it, you can view live vehicle stats, such as your current speed and incoming calls, as illuminated icons on your windshield.

Safety Monitoring

As for safety, many hi-tech monitoring systems come as either standard or available with the Ram 1500. This includes a 360-camera system, which can help keep you safe when exiting the vehicle in dark parking lots or while out on the trails.

Other safety highlights include the Blind Spot Monitoring System, which uses sensors on the sides of the truck and in the rear to alert you to other nearby vehicles, as well as LaneSense Lane Departure Warning, which can return your vehicle to its lane if you start unintentionally deviating from it.

Offering a unique combination of bold performance options, an easily-accessible exterior design, and tech features that bring both entertainment and communication to the vehicle's classy interior, the 2022 1500 has it all. To test drive this remarkable Ram pickup today, come see it at Randy Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Wilkesboro, NC.
