The Ram 1500 pickup keeps gaining more and more credibility as the best full-size pickup in America. Industry reviewers have been saying that for the last a few years and you'll be saying it when you find a 2021 model in our used inventory. In addition to providing outstanding towing and hauling capability, the Ram 1500 for 2021 raised the bar on what to expect in terms of interior luxury and exterior convenience. Here’s an overview of some of the strengths you'd find in a 2021 Ram 1500 at Alan Jay Chrysler Dodge Ram Jeep in Wauchula FL.
Engine choices to look for in a 2021 Ram 1500
The Ram 1500 for 2021 offered both V6 and V8 gasoline powertrains and all connected to a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. In addition, both engines were typically assisted by a 48-volt hybrid system although you might find a 5.7-liter HEMI®V8 in a more pure form without the electric support. The 2021 Ram 1500 also offered a 3.0-liter diesel V6 that could generate 480 pound-feet of torque. That's more than buyers from Arcadia and Winter Haven, FL can get on similar diesel engines from Chevy and Ford.
Any Ram 1500 you find from 2021 will have a rear suspension that uses either standard coil springs or optional air springs, and that gives you an unusually impressive ride that's better than what you’d get with the traditional leaf-spring arrangement used by competitors. If you find a 2021 Ram 1500 equipped with air suspension, you’ll get adjustable ride heights that boost fuel efficiency and off-road capability.
Towing and payload capacity in a 2021 Ram 1500
A 2021 version of the Ram 1500 would give you towing capacity of up to 12,750 pounds. The 2021 Ram 1500 that you might find on our lot would give you a payload capacity of up to 2,320 pounds.
Fuel economy in a 2021 Ram 1500
If you find a Ram 1500 from 2021 with the most efficient V6 engine, you'll get up to 20 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway. A V8 version will give you a maximum of 17 MPG on city streets and 23 MPG on the highway. Diesel-powered Ram 1500 trucks from that model year will do considerably better. To be specific, a 2021 Ram diesel-engine truck will give you up to 22 MPG in the city and an amazing 32 MPG on highways around Avon Park and Bartow, FL.
Interior comfort in a 2021 Ram 1500
The interior is where a 2021 Ram 1500 really shines. If you find one in a higher trim, you'll see a cabin with upscale materials and comforts that will make this vehicle feel more like a luxury car than a pickup. Most models from that year will include premium features like heated and ventilated seats and a panoramic sunroof. If you find a late model Ram 1500 in one of the highest trim levels, you'll be surrounded by premium leather surfaces and wood accents.
Cargo space in a 2021 Ram 1500
A 2021 Ram 1500 will give you one of two bed lengths: Either a standard 6-foot-4-inch bed or a 5-foot 7-inch bed. Both versions will allow you to fit 4-foot wide sheets of plywood in between the wheel wells. You might also find a Ram from that model year with useful features like cargo lights and RamBox built-in storage bins.
