Choosing a Ram 1500
Three choices shape a Ram 1500: the engine (the Pentastar V6 for price and fuel economy, the twin-turbo Hurricane I6 for towing, the HEMI V8 if you want a V8), the cab and bed (Quad Cab 6'4", Crew Cab 5'7" or Crew Cab 6'4"), and the trim, which also sets the standard engine. The 3.0-liter Hurricane Standard Output carries Ram's top towing rating, 11,530 lbs. For off-road, look at the Warlock, Rebel and RHO; for luxury, the Laramie, Limited, Limited Longhorn and Tungsten.
