Description
Exterior
Outwardly, the Ram Limited Crew Cab 4×4 is a great-looking truck. The front grill and fascia gives it a sleek and modern appearance. The raised hood with emblems verifying that YEP, it’s an eTorque Hemi, the wheels looks great, and I love the dual exhaust.
Powertrain
The powertrain of my tester is the eTorque, a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 aided by a 48-volt mild hybrid system. It puts out 395-horses, 410 lb-ft of torque and this package will tow 12,750 pounds. The 8-speed shifts crisply and with determination.
Interior
For me, there are two standout things about this truck; The first is the ride. It is one of the smoothest pickup rides I’ve experienced, thanks to the all-steel frame, a rear coil suspension system, and new damping shocks. It’s hard to believe you are riding in a pickup, it truly feels like a car.
The second thing that simply stuns you is the interior. When I got behind the wheel and just went WOW, would you look at this! The leather and stitched seats are very comfortable and you get a sense that everything was extremely well thought out by Ram engineers and designers.
The gauges are easy to read, and you can scroll through the 7” driver info center from the steering wheel controls to get an amazing amount of information, including a terrific trailer-towing page and you can easily read the large digital speedometer.
I must remark on the huge, ultra-deep center console. It has sliding cup holders and a dual opening top. At the front of the console are three handy cell phone holders that allow you to actually see your screen when you glance down at it.
Center dash, up high, is a 12” display that is bright and vivid and it houses the exceptional Uconnect 5 system. It looks much like a laptop turned on its side and it is super easy to operate.
I often say Uconnect is the easiest to use system I’ve seen to operate your sound system, climate control, a host of apps, navigation, and Bluetooth for your phone. There is also a terrific backup camera that you can zoom to be able to hook up a trailer without leaving the cab. The blind spot system will also include the length of your trailer.
