With more power than before and an improved suspension, you’re sure to experience a smooth ride in this capable truck. Here’s what you can expect from the 2020 Ram 1500.
Stylish Build and Design
The Ram 1500 has a well-designed exterior for this model-year. Choose from seven trims — the Tradesman, HFE, Big Horn, the Rebel for off-roading, the Laramie, Long Horn, and Limited. There’s one for every style, adventure, and budget. Start out with standard 18-inch steel wheels on the Tradesman. Style it up with chrome highlights, courtesy of the available Chrome Appearance Package. For 20-inch standard wheels, the Laramie is the right choice. Choose from available variants such as painted, polished, chrome, or chrome-clad aluminum up till the Longhorn. 22-inch wheels are available from the Laramie
For a completely black exterior, add the Black Appearance Package, which is available on the Rebel and Limited. For any one of the other exterior colors — such as Ivory White, Delmonico Red, or Patriot Blue — plus SPORT decal and a performance hood, choose the Sports Appearance Package — available on the Big Horn and Laramie. Black exterior detailing is also available with the Night Edition Package plus a choice of any exterior color.
Powerful Performance
The 2020 Ram 1500 packs the power with three available engines. Standard on all trims is the 3.6-liter V-6 Pentastar engine which makes an impressive 305 horsepower. This powertrain is an eTorque machine and produces 269 pound-feet of torque. It can tow a maximum of 7,730 pounds. Next up is the available 5.7 HEMI V-8, which comes with and without eTorque. This engine is more powerful at 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet, with a maximum towing capacity of 11,610 pounds (12,750 for the eTorque variant) when properly equipped.
