When you think of heavy-duty trucks that are perfect for both off-roading and family outings, the 2021 Ram 1500 should be at the top of your list. Unlike other vehicles in its class, the Ram 1500 brings innovative features to the industry while still paying tribute to classic heritage as a workload vehicle. While the Ram 1500 has many features to admire, the following seven are the ones new owners are talking the most about.
1. Multiple Engines to Choose From
With the Ram 1500’s four different engines to choose from, you’ll have a hard time deciding which one is your favorite. Whether you’re saving gas with the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 or pushing out 702 horsepower with the 6.2-liter Hemi V8 beast, there’s an engine offered for every scenario.
2. A Surround View Camera Setup
With the available 360° Surround View Camera System, five different cameras show every angle around your vehicle. This allows you to accurately steer into parking spots, connect your Ram to trailers more easily, and have a full 360-degree view of any objects near your vehicle that may pose as threats.
3. An Air Dam That Helps Save Gas
One feature that you may not notice, but that will save you some big bucks over time is the Active Air Dam located in the front of the vehicle. Once the speedometer reaches 30 miles per hour, this dam extends downwards to reduce drag, which will effectively save you money on fuel over time.
4. 12-Tire Trailer Monitoring System
While other vehicles on the market may warn you when one or more of your vehicle’s tires are going low, the Ram’s available Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System monitors tires on up to 4 trailers. That means you can monitor up to 12 tires per trailer, and all of this can be seen from within the dash on a digital information display.
5. Drag-Improving Air Suspension System
An available air suspension system, known as the Active-Level Four Corner System, lowers the vehicle closer to the ground when at higher speeds to improve drag. This feature can also be used when hitching a trailer or camper to the vehicle or when entering parking garages where a lower height may be needed.
6. A Center Console Trailer Steering Knob
With the optional Trailer Reverse Steering Control (TRSC), you can steer your trailer by using a knob within the center stack to control which direction your trailer is headed in. This means no more having to exit the vehicle to see how far your trailer is from the direction you are trying to steer it towards.
7. Multifunction Tailgate with 60/40 Split Doors
The Multifunction Tailgate found in the 2021 Ram is an engineering feat worthy of all the praises it’s getting with the ability to handle up to 2,000 pounds of weight with the tailgate down. Its 60/40 split doors allow you to quickly load and unload any haul without having to reach over the tailgate.
