SCOTTSDALE, Arizona – “Yeeehaw!” A final blip of the throttle tipped us over the brink of the gully, and we were airborne. There’s an intangible delight in that instant of weightlessness, suspended in time until the wheels touch down and you’re snapped back to reality. It’s an enormous, boxy beast, but the Ram 1500 lands with a coiled grace not unl

“Tread lightly” is a common catchphrase amongst the off-roading crowd, but that certainly wasn’t something that seemed possible as I sat behind the wheel of the recently-revised 2017 Ram Power Wagon . Based on the brand’s 2500 series heavy-duty truck, the Power Wagon’s curb weight of 3,180 kg, combined with its 149.3-inch wheelbase, make it one of

Ram has just revealed pricing for their new 2017 Power Wagon. The off-road-ready Ram will start at $58,945. Ram calls it "the most capable off-road truck in America." That's a strong claim, so what backs it up? The truck is based on the Ram 2500 pickup  but is restyled and modified for off-road use. Under the hood is a 410 hp, 6.4L Hemi V8 t

The Canadian auto market is just a sliver compared to how many vehicles Americans buy, but there are times when we can still throw our weight around. The monochromatic 2019 Ram 1500 Sport wasn’t part of the schedule at Michigan’s Sterling Heights plant, where the all-new 2019 truck is being built, until the folks at FCA Canada raised the roof.

Trucks sure have come a long way over the years. I can recall my Dad’s dismay at the idea that his new truck had heated seats back in 1998. “Who the hell needs heated seats in a truck?” He scoffed. Interesting post-script to that story is that he loved the new feature so much and used it so often that he actually developed a heat rash. Funny how we

Brace yourselves, Ram haters, because this review is going to come off like a commercial. The Ram 1500 was already a very good truck. But the 2019 version? This is a great truck. I spent two weeks and more than 4,000 km in the 2019 Ram 1500 Limited , towing a trailer to boot, on my family’s recent road trip to the Saguenay fjord and

Limited-edition pickups are almost more common than the "regular" editions these days, but Ram is hoping that crowds will be abuzz, and swarming to showrooms later this month, when the new limited-edition Stinger Yellow Sport 1500 pickup arrives and goes on sale at your local Ram hive...I mean dealer. Ok, now that I've gotten all of the puns out of

Pickup trucks that get relegated to the press fleet generally lead a pretty cushy existence. They’ll spend a few months being driven around by a bunch of city slicker journalists who complain about fuel economy, price, how hard they are to park, and ask, “Why do they have to be so big?” That’s all ya got, kid? With a major house renovat

Vehicle Type: Full-size Pickup Truck At a Glance When power, styling and manly-truck muscle are priorities, few machines can match the punch Dodge built into the last-generation Ram 1500. Largely considered the ‘sporty’ pickup in the segment, the 2002 to 2008 generation model hit the road in 2001 with numerous body styles, engines, feature

The 2019 Ram 1500 Limited might not be your long-distance road tripper of choice, even if purely from a fuel efficiency perspective. Beyond the big engine / big curb weight combo, for some the idea of taking a full-size pickup anywhere but the feed lot or the farm is a non-starter (unless they’ve hitched up a boat or a camper, in which case a wee

The thing about transporting motorcycles is that it is a stressful experience. A truck will do it, but the load point is high, so you need a long ramp, and more than one person. A truck leaves the bike exposed too. Not only to the elements but to the prying eyes of nefarious thieves. So when I had to take a Kawasaki ZX10-R to Calabogie for our sup

Straight from Turkey by way of Italy comes the 2015 Ram ProMaster City ; it’s based on parent company Fiat’s Doblo van (winner of two International Vehicle of the Year awards), as popular on European roads as Ford Econolines and Chevy Expresses are on our roads here. However, vans like the Doblo ProMaster City, Ford Transit Connect and Nissan

Ram is recalling nearly 300,000 pickups due to a problem with the brake shift interlock. The problem could allow the truck to roll away if an accidental shift occurs. The recall affects 290,200 Ram pickups from model years 2009 to 2017. It covers 1500 model trucks over that entire range, but other models have a slightly smaller window. The 2500

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has recalled a small number of its Ram 1500 pickup trucks to replace front drive axles that could break. The problem has been traced back a fault in the material hardening process employed to improve the strength of the metal used to manufacture the shafts. A broken shaft will render a Ram 1500's four-wheel drive sy

The Ram 1500 Classic might be the old version of the company's pickup, which currently sees an all-new model selling alongside it at dealers, but apparently, you can teach an old Ram new tricks. The automaker's latest is a winter-ready Sub Zero package. Probably much to your chagrin, Ram is reminding us that winter is coming. Though hopefully no
