You need power, whether you're a hardworking nine-to-fiver or a weekend warrior who spends their free time exploring the wilderness. So, you need a vehicle that can keep up with you-something that will charge headfirst at all your problems and brook no substitutions. Consider the Ram.
The 2022 Ram 1500 will be here soon, and for all our friends in the Chittenden County, South Burlington, and St. Albans, Vermont, areas, the team at Goss Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram has put together this sneak peek.1
The Power You Need
You don't buy a truck because it looks pretty in your driveway-even though the 2022 Ram 1500 will look very pretty in your driveway. You buy a truck because it has the power to do what you need it to do. The 2022 Ram 1500 will have five available engines, including an EcoDiesel and a Supercharged HEMI® V8.
Below, you'll find a chart with all the available engines and their individual specs.
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | EPA-estimated MPG |
| 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine with eTorque | 305 | 269 lb-ft | 20 city/25 highway |
| 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine | 260 | 480 lb-ft | 22 city/32 highway |
| 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) | 395 | 410 lb-ft | 15 city/22 highway |
| 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine with VVT and eTorque | 395 | 410 lb-ft | 17 city/23 highway |
| 6.2L Supercharged HEMI® V8 engine | 702 | 650 lb-ft | 10 city/14 highway |
For those who like to bring along all their outdoor toys, or just need to move building materials from one site to another, the Ram will be there for you. With a maximum available payload of 2,300 pounds, and a maximum available towing capacity of 12,750 pounds when properly equipped, you'll have all the power you need.
The Room to Grow
No two people are the same, just like no two trucks are the same, and we all have different needs. The 2022 Ram 1500 will come with two available cab designs: the Quad Cab and the Crew Cab. For your exterior cargo, the Quad Cab will come with a 76-inch bed, while the Crew Cab will have two available beds: a 67-inch bed and a 76-inch bed.
For the room you need to bring along friends and family, below you'll find a chart of the expected interior dimensions of the 2022 Ram 1500.
|
| Quad Cab | Crew Cab | ||
|
| Front | Rear | Front | Rear |
| Headroom (inches) | 40.9 | 39.2 | 40.9 | 39.8 |
| Shoulder Room (inches) | 66 | 65.7 | 66 | 65.7 |
| Hip Room (inches) | 63.4 | 63.4 | 63.4 | 63.4 |
| Legroom (inches) | 40.9 | 35.6 | 40.9 | 45.2 |
As you can see, whether you need a big bed to move your things from Point A to Point B or room for the carpool, this pickup will have you covered.
The Technology to Experience the Future
While power and room are great to have, something else you'll find yourself wanting is some technology to keep yourself entertained on the road. Luckily for you, the 2022 Ram 1500 is going to come with the available Uconnect® 5 system. This system will come with a 12-inch touchscreen with split-screen capability and 360-degree camera views.
Safety isn't an important thing-it is the important thing. The 2022 Ram 1500 will have a suite of impressive safety and driver-assistance features, including:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Forward Collision Warning
- Blind-Spot Monitoring
- Ready Alert Braking
