It often feels like vehicle brands and models are pigeon-holed into one top characteristic or selling point. You got your sports cars, your powerful truck, your adventurous SUV, your family-friendly minivan, and brands that cater to specific niches as well. In the real world, people and their wants and desires are a lot more nuanced and varied than that. Modern life requires a multitude of needs out of a vehicle. Not only do you want a vehicle that can perform as you require, but, of course, you always want one that looks good, too, whether you’re showing it off in the driveway or city streets. When it comes to both power and luxury, only a few brands can match the level that Ram trucks have. You’d be forgiven to think that with all that towing power and hauling performance, a Ram truck would be rough and tumble, raw and rugged, but that couldn’t be further from the case. All that ability is cased in one of the most luxurious vehicle designs on the market. Let’s dive into each of these and see.

There is a part of me that wants to post the above charts and just move on to the next section. But I think they speak more than for themselves when it comes to the power side of Ram pickups. Okay, I’ll provide a little bit of commentary. Engine options galore, and power out of this world, it really depends on how much you need, and there’s a Ram truck for you, just go up the ladder. Whether it’s a bit more every day with the Ram 1500, or maybe you need to put in serious work on the farm or jobsite, the Ram 3500 is just dying to get your next job done.
I want to draw specific attention to the interior of the Ram trucks when it comes to luxury. We can all see their refined and power-ready exterior, but it’s the inside of each Ram pickup that truly underlines their elegance. Take the Ram 1500, for example and some of its top luxury-focused trim levels.
The Ram 1500 really is the mark for new-age pickups, one that is purposefully made more and more luxurious every year. See for yourself and shop our current inventory here on Cars.ca.
