The New RAM 1500 Outdoes Its Competition in Lawrenceville, NJ
Are you in the market for a new pickup truck to drive in Princeton? Then you should make the trip to Route 1 Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and check out our new inventory. You can find an exciting, rugged Ram 1500 pickup truck. While there are other notable pickup trucks on the market that compare to the Ram 1500, such as the Ford F-150 and the Chevrolet Silverado 1500. However, we think the Ram 1500 outpaces even this formidable competition. Here is why.
Performance/Capability
Ride Quality
The new RAM 1500 comes standard with a coil-spring suspension that generates a firm but controlled ride. People in Trenton who want an even silkier ride will like its available air suspension.
While the F-150 rides fairly comfortably, the Ram 1500's unique coil-spring rear suspension provides a slightly better ride.
The new Chevy Silverado 1500 LTD has a generally smooth ride, but you may get bounced around a bit on rougher pavement.

The new RAM 1500 is ideal for Marlton, NJ drivers who carry a lot of boxes, construction supplies, or camping equipment in their truck bed. When properly equipped, the RAM 1500 has a payload capacity of 2,322 pounds.
The new Ford F-150 has a maximum payload rating of only 2,238 pounds.
The new Chevy Silverado 1500 LTD can only haul up to 2,310 pounds in its bed.

Cab Space
The new RAM 1500 has spacious, supportive seats that allow for outstanding outward visibility. Taller passengers in Levittown, PA will like that the RAM 1500 Crew Cab has the most expansive rear seats in its class.
The new Ford F-150 also has comfortable seats, but it doesn't offer quite as much backseat legroom as the RAM 1500.
The new Chevy Silverado LTD also has spacious front seats and a decent amount of rear-seat legroom, but the Ram 1500 has one of the best interiors in the segment.
Tech Features

Its also easy to customize, letting you set shortcuts for your most-used functions. Multiple stereo systems are available in the RAM 1500.

The new Chevy Silverado 1500 LTD has a Google-based infotainment system that's also a cinch to use. However, its nicest available stereo is a seven-speaker Bose audio system.

One thing that might immediately stand out to pickup truck enthusiasts in Marlton is that the Ford F-150 has no diesel engine options. Many truck drivers love the option to drive a vehicle with a diesel engine, because diesel engines often produce a better fuel economy and more intense torque than gas engines. The most powerful Ram 1500 engine significantly outperforms the most powerful Ford F-150 engine by a significant margin.
Ride Quality
Every Ram 1500 model comes standard with rear suspension equipped with either standard coil springs or available air springs. The Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado 1500 come standard with a conventional leaf spring suspension. While both the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado 1500 offer an enjoyable ride, they can't compare to the smooth drives around Robbinsville that you can take in a new Ram 1500.
Interior
The Ram 1500 is legendary when it comes to cabin quality. When you choose a Ram 1500 truck to drive home to Levittown, PA, you will find that most trim levels have plenty of luxurious features available. While the Silverado 1500 and Ford F-150 have their share of luxurious features, the Ram 1500 is hard to beat when it comes to spaciousness and quality interior features.
