The basis for the design was the early third gen trucks, and both crosshair grille and sloping wheel arches were still there. However, the new truck had an aggressive appearance and more prominent body lines. And with optional chrome details, it was stylish and flashy. Because the previous generation had great engines, there were no revolutionary changes under the hood.
Magnum V6 and V8 engines gave way to more modern PowerTech and Pentastar units, which offered better driving characteristics and fuel economy. The biggest news was the introduction of the smaller V6 diesel engine, called EcoDiesel. All engines come with either six or eight speed automatic or six speed manuals. Unlike with previous generations, this time the biggest improvement was well hidden out of sight.
Most full-size pickup trucks use leaf springs in the back. It is simple and durable, but it has a negative impact on the ride quality. Fourth gen Ram uses a multi-link rear suspension with coil springs that absorbs rough pavement rather than deflecting it. With this, the Ram rides more like an SUV than a traditional pickup. This was also the only truck to offer an active leveling air suspension on all four corners, features an access setting that drops ride height by 2 inches.
Depending on the trim level, this Ram came fitted with premium options such as heated and ventilated front seats, Alpine audio system, power adjustable pedals and navigation system with an 8. Introduced in , the all-new Ram is very different compared to previous generations. It brings in a more sophisticated and bold design, while still keeping that traditional tough and aggressive appearance, which is important in this segment.
Most noticeably, the signature grille and headlights layout gave way to a sleeker and more elegant arrangement. Also, headlights are now available as standard halogen units and with integrated adaptive LEDs. While its predecessors offered many and sometimes confusing engine options, the current Ram has a simple situation under the hood. It is worth mentioning that Cummins unit is now delivering lb-ft of torque, making Ram the first truck to break this barrier.
Dodge announced that later during production, a redesigned V6 EcoDiesel will be available. The interior is bigger and better shaped in terms of comfort, with buttons and knobs placed well within reach. Abundance of storage compartments helps keep the interior clean.
Other notable upgrades include a redesigned frame made from high strength steel and various aluminum parts. This helped increase structural rigidity and reduce overall weight. With all this, the new Ram keeps up with all current trends in touch while keeping tough workman personality.
I'd love to be emailed when a new, high quality document is available for my Dodge RAM. My email address is:.
