About Ram Truck Brand
Since its launch as a
stand-alone division in 2009, the Ram Truck Brand has steadily
emerged as an industry leader with one goal: to build the best
pickup trucks and commercial vehicles in the industry.
Creating a distinct identity for Ram Trucks has allowed the
brand to concentrate on core customers and features they find
valuable. Whether focusing on a family that uses a Ram 1500 day in
and day out, a hard-working Ram 3500 Heavy Duty owner or a business
that depends on its Ram ProMaster commercial van every day for
deliveries, Ram has the truck market covered.
In order to be the best, it takes a commitment to innovation,
capability, efficiency and durability. Ram Truck invests
substantially in its products, infusing them with great looks,
refined interiors, durable engines and exclusive features that
further enhance their capabilities.
Moving into the 2015 model year, Ram continues to beat the
competition in the two most sought-after titles, fuel economy and
towing capacity:
- Best-in-class fuel economy with exclusive EcoDiesel – 29 mpg
with Ram 1500
- Best-in-class towing capability – 30,000 pounds with Ram
3500
- Best-in-class payload – 7,390 pounds with Ram 3500
- Best-in-class torque – 865 lb.-ft. with Ram 3500 equipped with
Cummins
Truck customers, from half-ton to commercial, have a demanding
range of needs and require their vehicles to provide high levels of
capability. Ram trucks are designed to deliver a total
package.
