Haul More With the Ram 1500
Thanks to its 98% high-strength steel frame, this pickup truck has what it takes to provide you with a maximum payload of up to 2,300 pounds. As a result, you can count on being able to store even more of your work supplies when you’re on the go.
The available multifunction tailgate makes accomplishing this feat even easier. It includes swing-away doors that allow you to access the bed easier. Since the split doors open away from the trailer, this tailgate is just as easy to use when you’re towing.
You Have Increased Safety on Your Side
Whether you’re towing or not, you can depend on the 1500 to have your back throughout your travels. One standard piece of equipment that brings this point out is the Hill Start Assist. It comes in handy when you happen to find yourself stopped at a red light a part of the way up a steep hill. When you take your foot off the gas once the light has turned green, Hill Start Assist keeps you from rolling backward by continuing to apply the brakes long enough for you to place your foot on the gas pedal.
There’s also the available LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist that keeps track of your position on the road. Not only does it warn you when you’re unintentionally drifting out of your lane, but it can also use the electric power steering system to help you get back to your original position.
