Trucks used to be valued for their ruggedness. Today's trucks run the gamut from basic work trucks to luxurious, feature-rich vehicles. The Ram 1500, with its upscale interior, quality ride, and great versatility, offers the best of both worlds. Our team at Dolan Fernley Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Fallon, NV, has the new 2021 Ram 1500, and we have all the details.
The latest Ram 1500 has an innovative air suspension, a split-folding tailgate, built-in bins for the cargo bed, and a generous 12.0 touch screen available for the infotainment system. With a lineup of potent powertrains, an impressive array of technology, and plenty of capability, the new Ram 1500 is one of the best half-ton trucks available.
What's New in 2021?
The 2021 Ram 1500 lineup got a lot more intriguing with a new Hellcat-powered TRX model and a lot of cool new options for the more mild-mannered versions of the truck. There's a new head-up display available, along with a completely digital rearview mirror. There's also a feature that guides Ram's steering when you back it up to hitch up a trailer.
The 2021 models have enhanced features specifically for trailers. There are off-road pages within the truck's infotainment system that depict ride height, transfer-case mode, and pitch-and-roll monitoring. Pedestrian detection has been added to the Advanced Safety package. The availability of forward-collision alerts has been expanded in the lineup.
There's also a new Limited Longhorn 10th Anniversary Edition offered. With it, you get exclusive exterior and interior badging and Mountain Brown interior, which offers distinctive trim elements.
Impressive Performance
The 2021 Ram 1500 offers a wide range of trim levels powered by gas-powered V6 and V8 powertrains. Both engines get a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission and an assist from a 48-volt hybrid system. You can get the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 without an electric backup. The 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 with 480 lb-ft of torque isn't as fast as the Hemi, but it offers great fuel-efficiency along with a really refined ride for a diesel.
All models provide a quality ride thanks to the rear suspension that uses standard coil springs or air springs as an option. Different from the regular leaf-spring configuration of its domestic peers, the Ram 1500 using the air suspension features adjustable ride heights and off-roading capabilities. Its steering is light, and the brakes provide easy cruises and sufficient stopping power.
Upscale Interior Comfort
The interior of the new Ram 1500 is as functional as it is appealing. There's clever cubby storage provided in the generous passenger space. The interior space, particularly with the higher trims, gives the cabin more of a luxury vibe than a truck vibe. There are luxury features available, like a panoramic sunroof and heated, ventilated seats. Top-shelf trim levels even have real wood trim and genuine leather surfaces.
The crew cab offers the most space, and all models have an abundance of interior storage available. There is a five-foot-seven-inch bed along with a six-foot-four-inch cargo bed to choose from. The Quad Cab models only pair with the bigger truck bed.
Innovative features
Aside from the distinctive split-folding tailgate, the new Ram 1500 has lots of great tech and innovative features.
When it comes to infotainment systems and connectivity features, the Ram 1500 has some of the best in the class. The standard touch screen is 8.4 inches, with a larger 12-inch screen available for all but the base models. The Ram 1500 has connectivity features like Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and a mobile hotspot. There are also hard buttons and physical knobs to help navigation.
The 2021 Ram 1500 has an impressive list of available driver-assist features, including automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic warning, automatic high-beam headlights, and adaptive cruise control.
