2017 Ram Trucks: Tough by Any Measure

2017 Ram Trucks: Tough by Any Measure


For years, Ram trucks have been at the top of the food chain when it comes to rugged toughness. Horsepower, towing capacity, suspension, durability, rugged exterior, and many other categories make Ram trucks consistently shine.

Here’s the catch: Whenever it’s time for a new model, Ram trucks’ reputation and past excellence are irrelevant. The new lineup had better live up to the brand’s sterling reputation and track record. Here at Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we think that the 2017 Rams pass that test and then some.


The Ram 1500 has the highest owner loyalty of any half-ton pickup, and the 2017 shows why: the choice between a nimble yet powerful V6 engine, heavy-duty V8, or exceptionally fuel-efficient turbodiesel V6; 7,600-10,650 pounds of towing capacity; functional, spacious interior--these are among the many features that set the Ram 1500 apart. And its classic muscular look shows that this is not a truck to be trifled with.


Need something a little bigger and heavier-duty? Look no further than the 2017 Ram 2500. With a best-in-class maximum towing capacity of nearly 18,000 pounds and a payload of 3,160 pounds, the 2017 Ram 2500 is a beast that can hold its own for those whose needs include towing and hauling on a professional level. And you simply can’t find a truck in this class with a more rugged look. In a world where heavy-duty pickups are getting flashier by the year, the Ram 2500 bucks the trend. It stays true to its utilitarian roots and imposes its presence with rugged handsomeness.


385 horsepower. 900 lb-ft of torque. 7,390 pounds of payload capacity. 31,210 pounds of towing capacity. Look out, kids: here come the big guns. If you want arguably the heaviest-duty pickup on the planet, you have found it: the 2017 Ram 3500. If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t need a truck, but prefers a truck to a car, this is not for you. Go with a 1500 or, if you really like to go big on the daily, a 2500. But not this guy. The 2017 Ram 3500 is for getting the job done. The 3500 is for the jobs you’d only dare to do in steel-toed boots. This is not a toy. This is not for smooth Sunday cruises. The Ram 3500 is a force of nature.
