Galvanized body panels offer superb

corrosion protection, and bake-hardened

steel for outer door panels provides

enhanced resistance against dents.

With a partially hydroformed and low-torsion

ladder frame with fully boxed side rails;

ride quality, road manners, hauling and

interior comfort are superb.

Lightweight high-strength steel gives you

a tough, full-size pickup with exceptional

capability and best-in-class fuel economy.

A hydroformed engine compartment

TO ACHIEVE THE STATUS OF CANADA’S LONGEST-

LASTING PICKUP,

WE CHOSE THE HARD WAY

is is what it takes: begin as a concept designed to outdo any competitive vehicle. Undergo

rigourous computer-aided engineering processes. Create a prototype and rene it further.

Only then did we subject the vehicle to treatments far worse than you will ever attempt.

From testing chamber to gruelling on-road trials in geographical and weather conditions that

ranged from 49°C (120°F) deserts to –29°C (–20°F) arctic climates, our testing was brutal

to the extreme. e results are measured in quality so good, you’re backed by one of the best

warranties

in the business. at’s the Ram promise, and we make good on it.

INNOVATION YOU EXPECT ONLY FROM RAM 1500. We take that expectation

seriously, bringing you one of the most versatile technologies to make driving,

loading and unloading more comfortable and convenient than ever.

The remarkable Active-Level Four-Corner Air Suspension is an available system that

improves control and ride quality. Active-Level technology ensures automatic levelling while

under heavy payload, and is the foundation of a comprehensive system featuring five distinct

operational heights (or modes). Aero Mode automatically adjusts at highway speeds while

Entry/Exit and the two Off-Road modes are managed manually via the integrated switch

bank or the key fob.

ACTIVE-LEVEL

FOUR-CORNER AIR SUSPENSION

FINGERTIP EASE. Operation of the available Active-

Level Four-Corner Air Suspension, remote start and locking

RamBox

are as simple as the touch of a button.

ACTIVE-LEVEL TECHNOLOGY. For typical pickups, a heavily loaded cargo bed produces obvious sag and points headlights

up instead of on the road. The available Ram Active-Level Four-Corner Air Suspension System makes all of that history by counteracting

the weight and levelling out the chassis for an even, more controlled ride, maintaining a comfortable horizontal plane and properly

directed headlamps.

OFF-ROAD 2 MODE.

Provides excellent ground clearance for the

path and trail, with the greatest angles for approach, departure

and breakover.

OFF-ROAD 1 MODE. Outstanding ride balance, with an extra

degree of clearance when you need it.

NORMAL RIDE HEIGHT. The most comfortable balance of ride

and handling for everyday driving.

AERO MODE. Aero automatically lowers the vehicle at highway

speeds, reducing aerodynamic drag and body roll while measurably

improving fuel efficiency.

ENTRY/EXIT MODE. Lowers the entire vehicle for easier

ingress/egress, cargo area loading/unloading and trailer

hooking/unhooking.

IN A CLASS OF ITS OWN: CAPABILITY MEETS COMFORT. The standard rear

suspension on the Ram 1500 is unmatched in the light-duty class. The class-

exclusive

multilink coil spring rear suspension technology is the preferred

suspension system for rail cars. Fact: this suspension design offers strength, durability and

exceptional ride comfort without sacrificing capability.

THE MULTILINK COIL SPRING REAR SUSPENSION

A tough, forged, solid steel lateral track bar is sized

to the vehicle and secures to the frame (and then

to the axle) to control body roll during cornering.

Two heavy-duty steel longitudinal links on each

side are mounted to the frame and tuned to offer

outstanding performance during hauling and cruising.
