A Look at Ram's History

Ram's history in the automotive world is a long one and has allowed it to evolve into the dominating truck brand that we know today. It began when Dodge began making a name for itself by producing powerful trucks in the early 1900s. Dodge dominated the truck market for decades, eventually introducing the Dodge Ram in 1981. This first-generation Ram truck came in two-wheel and four-wheel drive and was available in half-ton, three-quarter-ton, and one-ton models. It also boasted an array of engine options that included a 5.9L Cummins diesel. The second generation arrived in 1994 with an improved design that included a more spacious cab and cargo bed. Generation three debuted in 2002 with an all-new frame, suspension, and engine options that included the 8.3L Viper V10, capable of a whopping 510 hp and 535 lb-ft of torque.

In 2009, Dodge announced that Ram was splitting off an independent entity so that both brands could better focus on their respective vehicles. Dodge would emphasize its SUVs, sedans, and minivans, while Ram could concentrate on trucks. Since the split, Ram has continued to refine its exceptional lineup with an array of trucks that offer unparalleled power and capability, innovative comfort and safety tech, and the reliability that has long been synonymous with the Ram brand. Now in its fifth generation, the Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models have become standout vehicles in the truck market. Whether you're looking for Android Auto compatibility, a head-up display, or safety features like forward collision warning, Ram trucks are leading the pack in innovation, making them exceptional pre-owned models to consider when searching for your next truck.

Meet the Ram Truck Lineup

No matter what kind of power and versatility you're looking for in a used truck, you're sure to find it in a Ram. The most recent model years come with the strength you're looking for in a reliable pickup, along with an array of up-to-date features to keep you and your passengers entertained, connected, and safe. Used Ram trucks break down into three models: the Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500. Let's take a closer look at how they differ from one another.

Ram 1500

The Ram 1500 is a half-ton truck that is perfect as a light hauler with enough versatility to be a trusted family vehicle as well. More recent used Ram 1500 models can tow well over 12,000 lbs, allowing you to bring that camper or boat on the family trip with ease. They can also carry a payload of over 2,000 lbs, so whether you're taking some old furniture to the dump or helping a friend move, the Ram 1500 is up for the challenge.

Ram 2500

For those looking for a little more power in their truck, the Ram 2500 is a nice step up. This heavy-duty model takes things up a notch, offering increased towing and payload capabilities. A used Ram 2500 can tow a monstrous 20,000 lbs while also offering the ability to carry a payload of over 4,000 lbs. Recent models are available with a 12-inch touchscreen loaded with the Uconnect system, giving you access to a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, SiriusXM satellite radio, and Android Auto connectivity.

Ram 3500

For the ultimate workhorse, the Ram 3500 provides the perfect amount of strength and versatility needed for the demanding challenges of the job site. The 6.7L Cummins turbo-diesel engine equipped on some used models can produce over 1,000 lb-ft of torque and tow an astonishing 37,000 lbs. Ram further enhances this towing capability with an available 360 surround view camera, so you can keep an eye on your trailer at all times, giving you the assurance that your cargo is secure.
