In this post, we’re going to give you a full guide to the 2022 Ram 1500 and all of its amazing features. Ram is arguably the biggest brand in the world of pickup trucks. Keep reading, and you’ll find out why.

2022 Ram 1500 Interior

Let’s begin this overview from the inside and work our way out. Upon entering the 2022 Ram 1500’s cab, you’ll be struck by the quality of the materials. Some of the more expensive trims actually have the look and feel of a luxury vehicle.

Both the Quad and Crew cab easily seats 6, with the front seats being shockingly roomy and comfortable. In terms of infotainment and navigation, the Ram 1500 comes standard with a 5″ screen, a 6-speaker system, and plenty of connectivity.

It’s got a Uconnect infotainment system that is both easy to understand and navigate. Upgrade to an 8.4 or 12″ screen with navigation and wireless charging for a bit more flare.

When it comes to cargo space, the Ram is second to none. Depending on the cab style, it comes with a 6-foot-4 or 5-foot-7 bed. The included tailgate steps, cargo lights, and storage bins give the 2022 Ram 1500 more functionality than most other trucks in its class.

How Does It Perform?

The base engine for this edition of the Ram is a 305-horsepower V6 hybrid with torque boost. You’ll always feel enough power in everyday driving and there’ll never be issues when towing a smaller trailer.

The Ram 1500 can tow over 12,500 lbs and haul over 2,000 lbs. For more towing capacity, you may opt for the 395-horsepower V8 instead.

For gas mileage, the V6 will get you 20 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway, both respectable numbers for a truck of this magnitude. It handles well and you can opt for a 4-wheel drive with any model to go offroading.

Safety and Reliability

With an 8.9 IIHS safety rating, the Ram 1500 stands near the top of its class for safety and reliability. It ranks well in every major safety category, especially front crash prevention. Some of the main safety features include:

• Rearview camera
• Lane assist
• Blind-spot monitoring
• Parking sensors – front and rear

JD Power gave the Ram 1500 an 8.6 reliability rating, which is well above average. All Ram models come with a 3-year 36,000-mile warranty as well.
