Capability

The 2021 Ram 1500 meets any challenge that you throw at it with an excellent slate of powertrain options. With a towing capacity of up to 12,750 pounds, the 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 generates 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. Its eTorque allows for an extra 130 pound-feet of torque. A version without eTorque drops towing capacity to 11,610 pounds.

Also with eTorque, the 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 pulls up to 7,730 pounds around Rochester Hills while generating 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. Expanding performance to 702 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, you can choose the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® V8. This setup lets you reach a top speed of 118 mph by jumping from 0 to 60 mph in only 4.5 seconds. If you choose the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6, you can tow up to 12,560 pounds and generate 260 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque in Oxford.

Exterior

The multifunction tailgate comes forged with two doors that swing open by 88 degrees to make accessing the bed easier. The lowered tailgate handles up to 2,000 pounds. To make lowering and raising more consistent, the available dampened tailgate comes charged with nitrogen and oil. A power-release allows control with a key fob.

Power running boards automatically deploy when you open the door to make entering or exiting the cabin easier. The RamBox® Cargo Management System adds additional storage to the side of the bed. It comes waterproof but includes a drain plug to make cleaning more convenient. You can lock it and utilize the lighting feature, so you can continue loading and unloading at night.

Colors for the exterior vary by trim but can include Olive Green Pearl-Coat, Flame Red Clear-Coat, or Maximum Steel Metallic Clear-Coat. Wheels come in 18-, 20-, or 22-inch sizes in finishes like Premium Chrome Clad, Black Painted, or Painted and Polished Two-Tone.

Interior

The available 12-inch touchscreen lets you control the available Uconnect® 12.0 with Navigation system. This infotainment system integrates with your compatible smartphone, so you can make phone calls and receive texts while you travel around Auburn Hills. Focus on the road ahead while digesting operating info from the Head-Up Display that projects reconfigurable info on the windshield in front of you. Check the Digital Rearview Mirror to show a real-time stream from the rear-facing camera.

Safety

Your forays into work and play around Clarkston come protected by numerous driver's assists. The Ram truck offers Forward Collision Warning, a technology that tells you about potential hazards in front of your truck. Additional safety upgrades include Pedestrian Emergency Braking, a technology feature that gives you the same confidence when people step in front of your truck. LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist tells you that you've strayed too far from the straight and narrow and nudges the steering wheel to guide you back. Blind Spot Monitoring with Trailer Detection tells you about vehicles that have entered your blind zone and even account for the length of your trailer. The 360-degree Surround View Camera eases tight maneuvers by revealing a virtual bird's-eye view of your environment. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go automatically changes your speed based on traffic conditions around Lake Orion, so you remain at a safe distance away from the car in front. Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist can steer you into a parking spot while you take care of the accelerator, brake, and gear position.
