2016 Ram 1500 Review - It's difficult to turn out badly when picking a half-ton pickup. The Ram 1500 rivals an all-new, helped Ford F-150, an as of late upgraded Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, a two-year-old Toyota Tundra, and an all-new Nissan Titan is en route. There is not a puppy among them, yet the Ram emerges with agreeable lodges, a smooth ride, and fabulous efficiency from diesel and V6 motors with eight-speed transmissions.
The Ram is effectively recognized from the others, with its Freightliner looks. Its inside looks phenomenal and highlights a wide screen and controls that make it among the most natural to work. We like the Laramie Longhorn, with its Southwestern cowhide and burl walnut.
There are few changes for the 2016 model year. The 2016 Ram 1500 lineup gets two new models: a Ram Rebel rough terrain model, and a Ram Laramie Limited extravagance liner. The body structure of the truck has been overhauled for enhanced accident security, however redesigned scores aren't out yet.
The 3.6-liter V-6 is the base motor in the Ram 1500. Evaluated at 305 drive and 269 pound-feet of torque, it has enough power for pulling and is EPA-appraised 17/25 mpg, or 18 mpg city on HFE models, making it the most productive pickup in its class. The eight-speed programmed functions admirably with this motor. To improve fuel effectiveness, the Ram has a lightweight edge that uses high-quality steel, streamlined grille shades, low-moving resistance tires, beat width tweak for the alternator and force frill, and a warm administration framework. Its tow evaluations are a couple of hundred pounds not as much as that of the V-6 renditions of the Ford F-150, GMC Sierra, and Chevy Silverado, however in the event that you are doing a considerable measure of towing you are likely taking a gander at the 5.7-liter V-8.
The 5.7-liter V-8 creates 395 torque and 407 pound-feet. Known as the HEMI for its hemispherical burning chambers, the V-8 is the best decision for towing and it offers the speediest quickening execution.
The 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6 produces 420 pound-feet of torque and is coupled to the eight-speed programmed. Offered in a scope of models, it's evaluated almost $3,000 higher than a likewise outfitted Ram with a HEMI V-8, yet efficiency of an EPA-appraised 20/29 mpg is much higher.
Four-wheel drive is accessible on each model, either low maintenance or full-time. Tow evaluations are short of the Ford and GM trucks: most extreme limit remains at 10,650 pounds, while GM trucks can hit 11,700 pounds and the F-150 touts 12,200 pounds. Tow appraisals change continually, be that as it may, and are as much about attorneys and corporate society as they speak the truth genuine ability. In the event that your trailer is anyplace close to those furthest breaking points, consider a Ram Heavy Duty or its rivals.
Ride quality may be the smoothest in the class. The electric force directing does not offer much input. The Ram's discretionary air suspension is decent around town, yet the component that brings down the truck at velocity for the sake of fuel reserve funds can make the ride firm on the roadway. Still, we welcome its programmed burden leveling, particularly when towing, and the key-coxcomb catch that gives you a chance to bring down the truck's back for simpler stacking and emptying. The truck can likewise be raised for more ground leeway or brought completely when ceased down to make it simpler for travelers to get in and out.
Security elements stay solid, with airbags, soundness control with a trailer-influence framework, and slope begin help. A rearview camera is accessible on all renditions; back stopping sensors can be requested on everything except the consistent taxi trucks, and front stopping sensors are an alternative. The Ram 1500 is appraised at four stars by and large by the NHTSA, however the IIHS still calls its rooftop quality negligible.
A major 8.4-inch touch-screen is a choice that joins UConnect Access, which ties the truck to Sprint 3G information administration, including a large group of components including voice acknowledgment, applications, and WiFi hotspot capacity.
The route framework offers voice-actuated components, 3D territory symbolism, path direction, fuel costs, climate reports, games scores, motion picture data through Sirius Travel Link. There's additionally a seven-inch reconfigurable gage group accessible that replaces a customary gage bunch and can rapidly correspond data with heaps of customization and up to three readouts at once. For instance, the driver may design the transmission temperature gage to be in the frontal area when towing. An assistant port is given, alongside ports for USB and SD cards and iPod control by means of USB. Downpour detecting wipers, force collapsing side mirrors, and a force sliding back window with defrost are accessible.
The RamBox bed is a big decision. It can be locked or unlocked with the rest of the vehicle. A factory spray-in bedliner is available. An integrated gooseneck hitch is also available
