2013 RAM TrucksCrew Cab 3.6L V6 Pentastar 8AT 4×4 (305 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The RAM 1500 was rather a family pick-up than a true, hard worker. It was designed and built for light duties. It had more comfort options and even an air-suspension on all four corners.

The RAM was the brand that was made after the Fiat-Chrysler marriage for the utility vehicles. For those who needed a light utility vehicle good as a daily driver and also as a partner for a handyman, the RAM 1500 was a good option.

The styling was a reshape after the 1993 Dodge Ram, with the front fenders lower than the hood. Its overall appearance was not of a rugged vehicle. In the crew-cab version, it offered four doors and up to six seats. The 2013 model undergone a rather mild facelift than a new generation. A wider grille, LED turn-signals were among the few exterior changes.

The Crew Cab was available with either a 5-foot-7″ (1.74m) or 6-foot-4″ (1.95m) bed. For the front passengers, there was an option for two bucket seats instead of a bench. In the rear, the bench provided enough leg- and headroom. The infotainment unit featured U-Connect with either a 5 or an 8.4″ touch-screen. Unique to the Ram 1500 was the optional RamBox feature, which places a pair of lockable compartments over the rear fenders inside the truck bed.

The standard engine was a 3.6-liter V6 unit mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The other two V8 engines were available with either six or eight-speed automatic. Depending on the trim level, the RAM 1500 Crew Cab was offered with rear or all-wheel-drive.
