When you think of pick-ups, you likely think of a Ram. These sure-footed trucks have traversed American roads for more than 40 years. And with the release of the 2021 Ram 1500, traits like comfort and power have only helped pivot this pick-up from perfect for work, to perfect for any task at hand, including driving the kids to school.
Basics About the 2021 Ram 1500
Dodge built its very first car in 1914 and entered the truck market three short years later. But the Ram 1500 didn’t hit showrooms until 1981, when it replaced the Dodge D Series trucks under the leadership of then-CEO Lee Iacocca. What started as a boxy, angular pick-up (as they all were at that time) has evolved into a sporty and proportionate vehicle that looks as powerful as it is.
Pricing
You won’t find any shortage of options with the Ram 1500, meaning one of the six available trims is sure to speak to you. The Limited starts at $57,350 and delivers plenty of luxury with a corrugated mesh grille, LED headlamps, and interior touches like wood accents and leather bucket seats. A massive 12-inch touchscreen is paired with 19 (optional) speakers for an opulent experience.
The Limited Longhorn blends southwest style with optimal comfort. Pricing starts at $53,080 and delivers two-tone color options and bold chrome accents on the exterior. Inside, drivers are treated to real barn wood accents, premium leather, and Limited Longhorn branding.
Rebel and Laramie
Distinctly athletic, the Rebel presents a $46,120 price tag. It’s ready for any off-road adventure with rugged all-terrain tires and a one-inch factory lift. The interior is characterized by laser-engraved ruby red accents and black and red vinyl and cloth seats.
The Laramie is designed to impress with a starting price of $42,080. The optional Night Edition Package features all-black exterior accents, while the interior delivers comfort with:
- Available heated and ventilated leather-trimmed front seating
- Heated leather-wrapped steering wheel
- Available navigation system
Big Horn and Tradesman
With the Big Horn, you can work just as hard as you play. The price starts at $37,390 and delivers striking chrome accents and available appearance packages. The maximum payload of 2,300 pounds means this truck is ready to tackle whatever project needs doing, and built-in floor storage lets you take along anything you need.
The Tradesman starts at $32,795 and is synonymous with efficiency. The 3.0L V6 engine gets 33 highway mpg, while the wheel-to-wheel side steps and tri-fold tonneau cover are ready to meet the long road ahead.
New/Unique Features
The Ram 1500 receives a handful of updates with this model year, including an available heads-up display and a camera-based digital rearview mirror. The available driver-assist package acquires pedestrian detection. The optional Trailer package now features tire pressure monitoring, trailer light checking, and a trailer reversing steering control system.
This pick-up loves to show its brawn, but it enjoys a softer side as well. Drivers can easily take it to city streets, around the construction site, and on family trips. But to really appreciate the Ram’s versatility, you need to experience it. Visit Vande Hey Brantmeier Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today and see just how easy it is to drive home in a pick-up you love.
