2019 - Present (Fifth Generation)

With 2019 being the first production year for the fifth generation Ram, it's no surprise that there are some major changes. Not only does this truck boast more rear seating and storage space, but the total weight of the truck has been reduced while payload and towing capacity have been increased. 

What year Ram trucks are being recalled?

The recall covers certain 2020 to 2023 Ram 2500 and some 2020 through 2022 Ram 3500 trucks. All have 6.7-liter Cummins diesel engines and 68RFE transmissions. The company says heat and pressure can build up in the transmission, expelling fluid from the dipstick tube.

Which Ram 1500 is best value?

According to Edmunds, the 2022 Ram 1500 Laramie is the best trim to buy. The reviewers say it makes sense as it's in the middle of the lineup for pricing but comes with many available powertrain and feature options. It's more expensive than four other trims but remains below $50,000.

What's the difference between Ram Quad Cab and crew cab?

Names differ between manufacturers, but options basically break down as: Regular Cab: Provides two front doors and one row of seating for up to 3 people. Quad Cab: Provides two extra doors and an extra row of seating. Crew Cab: Like the quad, but with more passenger space and less cargo space.
