Cruel competition between American pickups is increasingly reminiscent of a planned battle. To consolidate your position in this competition, Dodge needed to change your car very much. But, despite this, many questions arise to him, whether he can contrast something such as Toyota Tundra or Chevrolet Silverado? To search for an answer to such a question, we conducted a small review of the car.
Appearance
Last time, Dodge RAM design was updated back in 2002. As a result of which he received a double -level embossed stamping of the hood, outstanding rear lights, not small chrome elements, and also, the front part is now made in the style of a truck. But, having looked at this, everything can be said that it does not require any improvements anymore at all.
Interior
In front of the car is a very wide central console made of unpleasant and rather hard plastic. Also, the radio receiver is not very impressive, with an unknown management.
Despite the expanse in the front of the car, there are not enough space for passengers in the rear seats. Engineers should pay attention to this. The armrest placed in front can be considered pride in RAM. A laptop is easily placed on it.
Engine and transmission
When buying a car with SLT configuration, 4 will be installed in it.7 liter engine V 8. With the help of which Dodge easily overcomes almost any off -road, and is also great for driving around the city. But, we should not forget that with such a large volume of the engine, the car consumes 20 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers.
But the transmission of the car wants to be the best. A 5-step gearbox is installed on it, which cannot reach the declared 400 nm of torque in any way. When passing a test drive, switching gear, I had to check repeatedly whether I turned on the transmission.
The disadvantages can also be considered a voluminous increase in fuel consumption with a loaded car or towing, as well as its controllability not very comfortable.
Result
Summing up the test drive, we confidently declare that Dodge Ram acts in the role of Escalade among pickups and is great for not long off-road trips.
One of the best and famous pickups of your time. Often used for tuning and among farmers.
