2022 Ram 1500 review

1. Stay connected

The 2022 Ram 1500 might be a sturdy workhorse but that doesn't mean it lacks connectivity features. Look to the Sport trim and above for the Uconnect^® 5 multimedia center delivered through a 12-inch touchscreen. This is a real focal point in the Ram 1500 and features Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ connectivity alongside available apps such as navigation with connected services and Sirius XM radio.

 The whole system is voice-activated, meaning you can keep your eyes on the road ahead.

2. Built for work and play

With robust suspension to tackle the worksite and a maximum estimated payload of 2300 lbs, this is a truck that works hard and plays hard. Whether you choose the base Tradesman trim for utilitarian simplicity during your working week or the luxurious Limited trim for weekend trips to the city, you won't be disappointed. If an off-road adventure is more your style, the TRX trim is the true go-anywhere option with luxury touches inside and out.

3. Towing technology

The available HEMI^® V8 engine with eTorque offers a maximum estimated towing capacity of 12,750 lbs (when properly equipped).

 The range of engine options means it's easy to find the power and towing capacity that suits you. Even the base V6 engine can tow an estimated 7,710 lbs when properly equipped. On HEMI V8 models, look for the Max Trailering package to get helpful tech such as a self-calibrating reverse steering control.

4. Powerful engine options

The base 3.6L Pentastar^® V6 has a respectable 305 horsepower, but if that's not enough, you have several options to help you find the 2022 Ram 1500 that suits you. If you want to go longer between fill-ups, the available 480-horsepower diesel engine gets an EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined.

 If maximum power and driving enjoyment is the priority, you'll love the 702-horsepower supercharged V8 that's available on the 2022 Ram 1500 TRX—it'll sprint from zero to 60 in just 4.5 seconds (according to the manufacturer, when new).

5. Great attention to detail

With so much versatility in one truck, it's easy to find a 2022 Ram 1500 that fits your busy lifestyle. You'll find some incredible attention to detail within the various trim levels and available options. The available power-release tailgate opens with the touch of a button, making loading easier than ever. And the bed step makes accessing the back of the truck a breeze, whether you use it for work or for truck camping sessions with the kids. If you need more, the available Rambox^® cargo system is another detail that you should keep an eye out for. It offers secure, illuminated storage, a 115-volt power outlet, and a drainable cargo area you can use as a cooler.
