There are very few items of classic Americana more celebrated than the pickup truck. With so many makes and models that one finds on the market, how do you choose the right one? We understand this all too well. Any dealership carries a variety of vehicles to choose from. However, when it comes to unsurpassed quality and high performance, look no further than the Ram 1500 to be the perfect used option for your daily needs.

Peak Performance

While Ram and Dodge separated from one another a number of years ago, the performance attributes of both vehicles are equally present. The Ram 1500 offers a variety of powertrains that are perfectly suited for any type of driver. For those who are in the market for raw power, a Hemi V-8 capable of generating 395 horsepower is perfect for the kids who have outgrown the sandbox. If fuel efficiency is of particular concern, fear not. A turbodiesel option still provides a generous amount of power while limiting the amount of fuel used during your commute and extracurricular activities.

Interior Devotees

It’s been remarked before that pickup trucks are the “new Cadillacs.” That is to say; they provide unsurpassed luxury that matches their high-octane performance. Like many modern vehicles, the Ram 1500’s interior is anchored around its infotainment center, of which many models feature a screen that stretches out to well over eight inches. Navigation and a wi-fi hotspot are readily available, as is complete compatibility with Apple and Android devices, so you’ll have no trouble connecting to your favorite forms of entertainment. The Ram 1500 has also received consistently high rankings in safety from the NHTSA and IIHS, which provides peace of mind for those long stretches on the road.

Appreciating Depreciation

All vehicles, regardless of their make or model, go through a process of depreciation once they’re sold. Using this to your advantage can be quite cost-effective. For example, after a period of four years, a Ram 1500 only retains 75% of its original starting MSRP. This lower cost means that you’ll not only be paying less up front, but both taxes and your monthly insurance premiums will be lower as well. Now those are some savings we can get behind!
