Truck Treasure Hunt: The Hidden Gems of the RAM 1500

There are few institutions of Americana more revered than the pickup truck. For well over a century, this vehicle has not only helped facilitate the infrastructure from coast to coast and allowed others to haul and tow to their heart’s delight but it’s also helped those who enjoy off-roading embark on their journeys that take place on the path less traveled. While the brand is still relatively new, as it was formulated in 2010 following the separation from Dodge, the RAM 1500 has quickly become one of the most sought-after trucks in the marketplace. And today, we’re going to discuss some of the hidden gems regarding the truck in question.

While you would be fairly hard-pressed to find a vehicle that lacks an infotainment screen these days, only a select few benefit from the Uconnect® system. This state-of-the-art software suite is what allows you to access entertainment features such as Apple and Android compatibility, voice integration, and navigation for that long road trip.

We consider this a hidden gem because you would have to open the passenger side door and get behind the wheel of a RAM 1500 to experience it first-hand. The interior of the RAM 1500 is one of the most luxurious and spacious that you’ll find. Instead of shelling out the big bucks for a top-of-the-line trim from Chevy, Ford, or GMC, you can have luxury placed at your fingertips from the base trim on upwards.

In recent years, the entire automotive industry has undergone a seismic shift in terms of going green. RAM has helped unleash a whole new method of harnessing electricity thanks to their eTorque device. Described by some industry critics as a “mild hybrid,” eTorque helps recycle electricity during braking to help run some of the truck's components and actually increases the amount of lb-ft of torque for situations that warrant it.

With a towing capacity that exceeds 12,000 lbs, the RAM 1500 continually pulls more weight than the competition. This feat has made the truck one of the most capable and reliable workhorses of the modern era.
