2012 Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn Crew Cab 4x4 Review
Wednesday, February 08, 2012
Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn Crew Cab 4x4 is a mouthful to say and leaves out one other important descriptor of the truck: it is also a long-box model rather than the short-box that seems so popular. Given the length of a 2012 Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn Crew Cab 4x4, the short-box is what RV haulers and other city folk tend to buy because it is about a meter shorter. The long-box is more popular amongst those who actually use a truck for heavy duty work.

2011 Ram 1500 Laramie Crew Cab 4x4 Review
Tuesday, December 20, 2011
It's no secret that pickup trucks have evolved over time to become behemoths of luxury and opulence. Ford is credited as the ignition source of this highly competitive trend thanks to a huge leap in quality and refinement that graced the F-150 a decade or so ago, raising customer expectations throughout the light-duty truck market. In my view, the latest rig to further heighten the bar enters the ring from Chrysler's corner, wearing a Ram badge.

2009 Dodge Ram First Impressions
Wednesday, August 27, 2008
The evolution of the utilitarian pickup truck has just leaped forward a millennium thanks to the boys at Dodge. The Ram pickup is completely new for 2009, and as the President of Chrysler Canada, Reid Bigland said, "it doesn't just raise the bar, it bends it in half and ties it in a knot." The newly-designed Ram body not only looks aggressive, it pierces the wind better than any other crew cab pickup shod in 20-inch rubber, thanks to a best-in-class co-efficient of drag of .419.

2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab Laramie 4WD Road Test
Friday, December 28, 2007
First off, I must tell you that the 6.7L turbodiesel engine of the Dodge Ram 2500 really impressed me. Thusly powered, this heavy-duty full-size pickup truck purrs on the highway and makes a mockery of hills. When fully loaded, it also offers pretty reasonable fuel economy considering its size. The Ram 2500 is primarily a utility/work truck; fit and finish as well as interior comfort fit this description.

2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Laramie Mega Cab Road Test
Sunday, December 03, 2006
Whether or not you consider yourself a "truck guy or gal," you've got to love the slow growl of a Cummins turbo-diesel; it is the quintessential truck sound. In fact, the low-resonance harmonics generated by my tester when under load led me to believe I had the throttle of a diesel locomotive in hand. Whether I did or not, I'm certain I had its pulling power under foot. Displacing 5.9 litres (360 cu in), the big Cummins inline-6 is capable of mustering-up 610 foot-pounds of torque at only 1,600 rpm, enough grunt I suspect to pull a loaded coal train through the Rockies. How does a six-cylinder oil burner manufacture so much clout you ask? Well in this case the secret lies in a turbo-charged compression ratio of 17.2:1 combined with 4-valves per cylinder filling and evacuating the six big cylinders with remarkable efficiency. But the Cummins-equipped, 2006 Dodge RAM 2500 Mega Cab isn't all about pulling power; its massive cab size sets numerous Biggest-in-Class standards. In the parlance of Joe Friday- just the facts:

2007 Dodge Ram 3500 Chassis Cab First impressions
Friday, October 13, 2006
Dodge once had a large lineup of commercial vehicles, but with the turbulent times of the 1980s, the company nearly abandoned this market segment. It kept on with its small-size pickup trucks and found new profitability thanks to its vans. For a few years now, we've seen this division of DaimlerChrysler putting a lot of efforts into its pickups by giving them a robust design rivals and customers can't ignore. Then they brought the famous Hemi engine back and kept offering the Cummins diesel engine. As for commercial vehicles, Dodge distinguished itself with narrower vans designed by Mercedes-Benz's truck division.

2005 Dodge Power Wagon
Saturday, July 16, 2005
We urbanites enjoy our mostly compact, sometimes fuel efficient modes of transportation. We are very content with being able to carry our groceries or take a trip to grandma's house on the weekends with our small families. But for some, a Ford Focus, a Mazda 6 or even a Honda Pilot simply will not do. For those of us that work the land, construction sites, live in the woods or simply want to tower over everything, we need a vehicle that nothing but hurricane Hugo could stop. Enter the Dodge Power Wagon; the biggest, the meanest and just about the baddest truck ever to leave an assembly plant.

THE NEW DODGE RAM 1500 2002, BIG AND EVEN BIGGER!
Thursday, January 03, 2002
You probably saw it on the road, the new 2002 Dodge Ram full-size pick-up truck. And I am pretty sure that what struck you the most was the big brawny grille that makes this new product look more like a Kenworth than an every day small-duty delivery truck! But that is excatly the effect Dodge Truck designers wanted when they reworked DaimlerChrysler's most popular ever pick-up truck. The first generation of the ?new? Dodge Ram pick-up was introduced as a 1994 model and already supported the ?big rig? look. At that time, Chrysler management told us:? People will like it or hate it but nobody will ignore the new Ram??and they were right. So for the completely redone 2002 edition, no suprise they gave it an even meaner look!
