We’ve driven two 2022 Ram 1500 models one petrol and one diesel 3.0-liter V-6 (called the EcoDiesel) and found the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6, which has 260 horsepower with plenty of torque, and 480 pound-feet, it’s the star of the show. It’s available on all models of the range, but on lower trims it adds $4,995 plus.

Every 2022 Ram 1500 has an impressive ride thanks to the rear suspension that uses standard coil springs or optional air springs, and air-suspension-equipped models feature adjustable ride heights that help with fuel efficiency and off-road capability. Light steering and powerful brakes provide a comfortable ride and a confident stopping as well.

Towing and load capacity

The 2022 Ram 1500’s maximum towing capacity exceeds all competitors except for the Ford F-150, which currently exceeds 13,000 pounds. And the most powerful configuration in the 2022 Ram 1500 can also pull 12,750 pounds. And it’s not just the drag that sets it apart, but the fact that it can be transformed into a luxury car that makes it special.

What does performance look like?

Rating 17/20
2022 Ram 1500 is a solid performer, no matter the trim . It is available with V6 gas and diesel engines, a standalone V8 or a mild hybrid V8. The Hellcat V8 supercharged version of the Ram TRX helps expand its appeal and performance capabilities. Riding comfort is great as standard for pickup trucks, and the optional air suspension offers improved mileage and ground clearance. The only area the 2022 Ram 1500 lacks is towing capacity, but it’s not far from the competition.

Rating 17/20
The elegant design of the 2022 Ram 1500 echoes previous Ram trucks, the Ram’s beautiful styling still emulates the big look of a ‘ 90s Ram, but it’s a lot quieter than that of an older truck or brutal competitor in terms of looks. And the interior, it’s nothing short of a luxury car, with large screens, leather seating, and creative color combinations.

How is the driving?

Rating 19/20
The 2022 Ram 1500 delivers a very smooth and controlled ride, and a high level of cabin finish, the cabin of the Ram 1500 is as beautiful as that found in some luxury cars. Its seats are also very comfortable, in addition, there are plenty of storage areas throughout the cabin and a handy, multifunctional tailgate.

Cabin, comfort and cargo

Where the Ram really wins is the ride quality. The Ram 1500 has plenty of storage space and plenty of room for passengers. The higher grades add upscale materials and amenities that make the Ram more like a luxury car than a pickup truck. Most models can be equipped with upscale features such as heated and ventilated seats and a panoramic sunroof.

While the more luxurious versions feature premium leather surfaces and genuine wood accents. And a very spacious cabin, with massive amounts of interior storage, and a unique folding tailgate. Five-foot-seven-inch and six-foot-four-inch cargo boxes are available, but the extended quad cab is limited to the latter.

Ram’s cabin exudes high-tech comfort levels. A 12-inch infotainment screen is optional on all but the base model, and the cabin layout is useful and attractive, making for a very impressive cabin. Even in the most basic trim levels , you’ll find a cabin that’s solidly built and with nice materials that make occupants feel special.

Higher models get soft, luxurious leather in distinctive color combinations, heated and cooled seats and the ability to add an incredible level of technology to a pickup truck. The interior is spacious, offering excellent head and leg room in both the front and rear seats, as well as a small stowage space for items. The optional panoramic sunroof gives the truck an open and airy feel.

There is an 8.4-inch touchscreen as standard, and a 12-inch touchscreen is available on all models except for the Tradesman model. The screen features the ability to display two applications simultaneously, such as audio and climate controls or Apple CarPlay and vehicle settings.

Both screens power the Apple interface, and Android Auto both offer a portable hotspot . The Ram did a good job integrating touch controls into the system, but the physical controls are just as useful. A variety of off-road information can be displayed on the infotainment system, useful for buyers who want a TRX but have a budget akin to the Ram 1500 Rebel.

Safety and Security

Trucks don’t always perform well in crash tests, but the Ram has done well. It received a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and a five-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. There is also a range of driver assistance technologies, although all are optional.

Which Ram 1500 Do We Recommend?

our judgment

While we’d recommend the TRX Off-Road Totally Crazy to all Ram 1500 buyers, we know it’s not the practical pickup most buyers will need. Instead, we see the Laramie model will be fine for most Ram buyers. It comes with some desirable standard equipment like the 8.4-inch touch screen and heated and ventilated front seats. It also gives you access to optional technical and security features not available on Tradesman or Big Horn.

Against the all-new and innovative Ford F-150, Ram offers some local competition with the highest maximum towing rates. No other pickup delivers the level of luxury and comfort that Ram’s interior can provide, and none of its competitors’ ride feels quite as smooth. Its EcoDiesel V6 engine delivers plenty of torque, and the Ram got some of the best crash test scores of any other pickup. We end our discussion with three advantages and disadvantages

  • Large variety of engines
  • Classy and luxurious inside
  • Excellent processing and refinement, class-leading

Defects

  • Expensive
  • Big touch screen can lag sometimes
  • The design is overly precise
