  • 2019 Ram 1500, 2018 Detroit auto show

    The 2019 Ram 1500 broke cover Monday and revealed a new face for the full-size pickup that pushed the hauler further into family detail. The new truck is longer—about four inches, added entirely to the cab—lower by about an inch, and wider by a half-inch. All three dimensions were stretched to better hold people, not necessarily cargo. It lacks the trademark crosshairs grille that Rams have worn since the 1960s, but adds more comforts than any of those past trucks may have dreamed. Its cabin is plush with an available 12-inch tablet-style touchscreen, more interior storage than...

  • Engineering Explained talks about the five features that make the Power Wagon a strong off-road truc

    Engineering Explained's Jason Fenske recently had a chance to check out the 2017 Ram Power Wagon. We think he likes it just as much we did ourselves. There are five standout features of the truck that help Fenske proclaim it an ultimate off-roader. First up is the fact that the truck is equipped with lockers front and rear. That means you can lock both axles and get power out to the wheels (or wheel) that can make use of any grip it can find. Sure, you'll be binding up your outside wheels if you try to turn with any speed, but you will also be able to tackle some tough terrain. Will you...

But many Mopar faithful miss the SRT10—you know, the Ram 1500 pickup truck with the Viper V-10 powertrain? So what if FCA shoved the Hellcat's powertrain into a Ram 1500? The automaker itself probably won't, but, not so long ago we brought you news of Ram 1500 owner Tom Stoll from Canada. He wanted a Helltruck, badly. So badly in fact that he paid Master Technician Byrnes of Midland Chrysler in Midland, Ontario...
