The Dodge
Ram 1500 needs to build a bigger trophy case as the awards keep coming for this
iconic full-sized pickup. Just recently
the Ram 1500 got on the Car and Driver’s list of the “Top 10” cars for
2022. Then J.D. Power named the Ram
Trucks as their #1 Truck in New Vehicle Quality Best-In-Class Features.
Many other
car critics and writers have given the Ram pickup high praises from reliability
to owner satisfaction. But really don’t take anyone’s word for it and just
check one out for yourself doing an up-close and personal inspection of the
2022 Dodge Ram 1500 with the friendly folks at Waxahachie Dodge Chrysler Jeep
RAM located at 2405 N. Interstate 35E in Waxahachie, Texas or by contacting the
dealership at 469.517.0043 and find out for yourself if it meets your
expectations. The bet is on that the Ram
will do just that in spades as Ram has built the best pickup for the way that
most of us use them today.
Pickups are
mainly seen every day as transporting people instead of being a workhorse and
Ram knows that by addressing the cabin in detail that shames most luxury
cars. The cab is so quiet that it like a
church service during the Super Bowl.
Then for those city slickers and cowboy commuters, the Ram 1500 offers
clever lockable storage places to keep your valuables out of sight. It also helps greatly that the Ram comes
close to drive like a car. Why drive a
big lumbering brute when you can drive a big nimble brute?
Yes indeed,
the 2022 Ram 1500 remains every bit the exceptional pickup since it was totally
redesigned three years ago. Still ahead
of the pack of full-sized pickups in its segment. The big news for the 2022 Ram edition is the
new Uconnect 5 tech system that is four times faster and has three times the
memory than the last one.
Also in the
cabin, the Ram doesn’t just impress aesthetically. The five-passenger model’s center console
features clever multi-configuration storage solutions as it is much more than
just cupholders and a couple of bins.
Storage places throughout the cab and even available in the bed
walls. In-car tech is exceptional as
well with all you need for entertainment and communication and even a vertical
12-inch touchscreen is available. The
passenger space is abundant especially with the Crew Cab with the availability
of reclining back seats.
The Ram 1500
comes standard with a 3.6-liter V6 that is aided by a 48-volt hybrid system
called eTorque. The V6 kicks out 305
ponies aided by a smooth shifting 8-speed automatic that gives you back 25 mpg
highway. There are also two optional
5.7-liter V8’s that punches out 395 horses and 410 lb-ft of asphalt/dirt
grabbing torque with one having the eTorque setup. The diesel V6 engine delivers the most torque
in the full-sized diesel pickup segment and has a 32-mpg rating on the
highway. The 2022 Ram 1500 just checks
all the boxes and is just a joy to drive and especially to be seen in. No time like the present to check one that
fits your style and budget.
