Ram will be commemorating ten years of production of its EcoDiesel engine. The automaker first introduced the EcoDiesel V6 engine in 2014. Since then, the engine has powered the Ram 1500 and provided it with strong capability and reliability. As Ram transitions to EVs like its all-new 2024 Ram EV, the automaker will look toward greener solutions. Understanding this, Ram has decided to cease production of the EcoDiesel engine starting January 2023. Consumers will have one last opportunity to order a Ram 1500 with the EcoDiesel engine. 

EcoDiesel Engine Will Cease Production in 2023

Ram will be saying farewell to its popular EcoDiesel engine in 2023. The automaker has decided to cease production of the V6 engine as it looks towards an electric future. The 2024 Ram EV has been teased, but no concrete information has been released. Still, this commemoration of the EcoDiesel tells us that while the V6 offered drivers a powerful and fuel-efficient engine, Ram hopes to provide even better products. About the commemoration, Ram CEO Mike Koval Jr. said, 

“Our Ram EcoDiesel V-6 engine has delighted consumers with the highest half-ton diesel torque rating and towing capability while being the first to exceed 1,000 miles of range,” said Mike Koval Jr. “As we quickly pivot toward an electrified future, we wanted to celebrate this last EcoDiesel milestone by offering our loyal light-duty diesel enthusiasts a final opportunity to order the truck they love.”

Ram will be allowing consumers one final opportunity to place orders for the 2022 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel pickup truck. The EcoDiesel V6 offers 260 horsepower and 480lb-ft of torque. It also has a max towing capacity of 12,560 pounds and a payload capacity of 2,090. For fuel economy, it gets 22 mpg in the city and a combined 33 mpg. The 2022 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is available with a crew cab setup and starts at an MSRP of $37,090 (plus destination fee). Available trims include Tradesman, Big Horn/Lone Star, Laramie, and Limited models.

There is an all-new Limited Elite Edition trim for the 2023 Ram 1500. This new trim improves upon the light-duty pickup truck’s luxury factor by adding higher quality materials. The Ram 1500 has long had a Limited lineup with the most recent being the 10th Anniversary Edition. For the 2023 model year, the Ram 1500 will receive the Elite Edition as its luxury trim. Aside from the new trim, the Ram 1500 also receives some new technology and a larger digital gauge cluster. We’ll take a look at the new Limited Elite Edition trim and see what consumers can expect.

Ram 1500 Limited Elite Edition Will Arrive in 2023

Ram will be releasing a new Limited Elite Edition trim for the 2023 Ram 1500. This trim will replace the Ram 1500 10th Anniversary trim as the next luxury trim. It will equip the light-duty pickup truck with high-quality materials and provide owners with a premium feel. Ram already offers one of the best interior cabins in the pickup truck segment, but this new Limited Elite Edition will take it up a notch. About the new trim, Ram CEO Mike Koval Jr. said,

“The new 2023 Ram 1500 Limited Elite Edition takes the highest quality materials in the industry and elevates the benchmark for interior comfort into rarified air,” said Mike Koval Jr. “Ram 1500 Limited buyers have enjoyed the ultimate combination of capability, luxury, and refinement for a decade now and the Limited Elite Edition is the latest example of how Ram delivers the most luxurious pickups in the industry.”

The 2023 Ram 1500 Limited Elite Edition trim will arrive with a crew cab configuration as well as a 5.7L V8 engine with eTorque mild-hybrid assist. This engine delivers 395 horsepower and 410lb-ft of torque. It also provides the pickup with 12,750 pounds of towing capability and 2,300 pounds of payload capacity. Inside the pickup truck, owners will note authentic premium materials like wood, metal, and leather. 

The new luxury trim also equips the Ram with a jeweled rotary shifter, leather bucket seats, a suede headline, and a new 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. There’s also a 12-inch touchscreen that pairs with a 19-speaker premium audio system. Finally, the pickup features a new emergency vehicle alert system that displays on the touchscreen.

2023 Ram ProMaster Will Replace City Van

Posted in Dodge Ram, Dodge Ram trucks, RAM Truck, Uncategorized

The Ram ProMaster City will be phased out in favor of the 2023 Ram ProMaster. Like many other automakers, Ram will be discontinuing sales of its smaller commercial van. Instead, the automaker will focus on its larger ProMaster van as well as an all-electric version. While the ProMaster City offered impressive fuel efficiency, Ram is working to ensure that its remaining commercial vans match that quality and standard. Not to mention electric vans will reduce the need for fuel altogether. We’ll take a look at the upcoming 2023 Ram ProMaster and its EV equivalent and see what consumers can expect.

Ram Will Soon Phase Out ProMaster City Van

Ram will soon discontinue sales of its smaller ProMaster City van. The automaker will be replacing the commercial van with its larger ProMaster van. Ram also hopes to offer consumers an all-electric commercial van. This decision comes from the fact that sales of the smaller ProMaster City are dwindling. From 2016 to 2020 the automaker saw sales decline by as much as 5,000 units. While this may have been in part to the global pandemic and subsequent economic challenges, Ram sees this as the time to move beyond the smaller commercial van. There may be a smaller EV alternative in the future, but as of now, Ram has no plans in the works.

The 2023 Ram ProMaster has already had its debut. The all-new van has been redesigned with a new front end and better-illuminated headlights. There’s also a more accessible roll-up door that makes loading and unloading cargo easier. Ram is offering more customization options so owners will have several choices between vehicle lengths, wheelbases, and roof heights. The ProMaster van will also utilize a 3.6L V6 engine that delivers 276 horsepower and 250lb-ft of torque.

Inside the 2023 ProMaster, owners will note an upgraded interior. The van will offer Uconnect 5 as its infotainment system and it will come with either a 7-inch or a 10-inch touchscreen. This touchscreen will feature a high-resolution backup camera, as well as a 360-degree surround view camera. The new van will also offer advanced safety features like parallel park assist, traffic sign recognition, and active driving assist. The 2023 Ram ProMaster is set to become available in the fall of 2022 while the battery-electric version will come later in 2023.

The 2022 Ram 1500 is One of the Best Diesel Trucks Available

0 By
Posted in Ram 1500, RAM Truck, Uncategorized

As one of the most iconic pickup trucks, the 2022 Ram 1500 continues to sit atop the automotive throne. The light-duty pickup has received numerous accolades and awards highlighting both its performance and efficiency. These awards like Texas Truck of the Year provide consumers with clear information about the best pickup trucks available. Aside from its tough combustion engine trucks, Ram has also been focusing on its all-new 2024 Ram 1500 EV. The automaker has teased several concept sketches as well as specs, but no definitive information has been released yet. While we wait for more info, we’ll take a closer look at the 2022 Ram 1500. The pickup truck comes available with a range of engines, but we thought we’d focus on the diesel engine. Many trucks offer diesel engines, but we’ll see what makes the Ram 1500 one of the best diesel trucks on the market.

The 2022 Ram 1500 is A Top Diesel Truck

The 2022 Ram 1500 has continued to be a top pickup truck in the sector given its performance and capability. As one of Ram’s most popular trucks, the Ram 1500 offers consumers a lot of versatility while remaining affordable. There are higher-level trims that improve luxury and capability, but even with the base Ram 1500 owners will have no trouble having their needs met. The base 2022 Ram 1500 starts at an MSRP of  $35,900 (plus destination fee). It comes equipped with a variety of engine options like a 6.2L V8, a 5.7L V8, and a 3.6L V6 to name a few. These are all impressive and provide high performance, but we’ll focus on the diesel engine.

The 2022 Ram 1500 offers owners a 3.0L eco-diesel V6 engine that delivers 260 horsepower and 480lb-ft of torque. This engine is one of the best in class and as such, it provides owners with a towing capacity of up to 12,560 pounds. The payload is also 2,320 pounds. Ram made sure that its eco-diesel would be highly efficient so the V6 offers 22 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. Ram has also provided several driver-assist features to ensure towing is made easy. These include a trailer 360-degree surround view camera and trailer reverse steering control.

One of the best features of the Ram 1500 is its interior. Spacious and comfortable, the light-duty pickup truck offers one of the most luxurious interiors in its sector. This is further enhanced by trims like the Limited, Laramie, and Big Horn. These trims equip the truck with premium leather and genuine wood accents. They also provide heated and ventilated seats as well as a panoramic sunroof. Another element that separates the 2022 Ram 1500 from other pickup trucks is its safety features. With features like a digital rearview mirror, blind-spot monitoring, electronic stability control, and electronic roll mitigation, owners can rest assured that they remain safe whether they’re towing and hauling or just doing everyday driving.
