The 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 is arguably the most significant V8 production power plant on Earth. Just look at the advantages of its design—like 100 more horsepower and 10 percent more fuel efficiency than its predecessor.* Not to mention that this exclusive design is used in top fuel dragsters.
Ram 1500 combines 4x4 independent front suspension with rack-and-pinion steering and an optional electric transfer case to give you one of the best-handling trucks on or off the road.
Choose from a long or short wheelbase. The short wheelbase affords you a 6-foot, 4-inch box while the long wheelbase gives you a spacious 8 feet of room for easy hauling of 4 x 8-foot sheets of plywood or drywall.
Four full-size doors that open to almost 90 degrees. Room for six. Tons of storage, including an available center armrest that doubles as a business console. With so many commonsense features, it's no wonder Ram 1500 Quad Cab® has the interior space you need to get the job done. And don't think that compromises payload space—you can choose between two full-size cargo beds (6-foot, 4-inch and 8 feet).
We've limited traditional stamping and welding on our truck frames—hydroforming is here. This means that Ram's bones are molded with highly pressurized water, a revolutionary manufacturing process that's not only more cost-effective, but adds structural benefits that kick some competitor butt:
- Greater strength and impact absorption
- Fewer welds adds even more durability
- Stronger and stiffer for a more solid feel
- Weighs less than stamped metal
Dodge Ram 1500 has received the highest government frontal crash test rating for the driver and front passenger - the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA) five-star rating. Furthermore, Ram 1500 also features:
- Hydroformed frame
- Crumple zones
- Available Protection Group (skid plates and tow hooks)
- Side door beams
- Available remote keyless entry
Thanks to Ram 1500's four-wheel disc brakes, you can feel confident that your truck will stop more quickly under repeated braking applications.
Ram 1500 includes next-generation multistage driver and front-passenger air bags,* child seat anchor system (LATCH), available supplemental side air bags, three-point seat belts, and a front-passenger air bag* on/off switch (not available on Quad Cab®).Source - Dodge
