Each of our RAM trucks near Evanston, IL, whether it’s a RAM 1500, RAM 2500, or RAM 3500, is well-respected for its ability to tow, carry, climb, and ford. But it’s the RAM brand’s technological innovations that have made headlines in recent years – evidence that the design and engineering teams at FIAT Chrysler USA have been working overtime to ensure this pickup’s class-leading status.
When you visit Fields Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM Glenview and test drive a 2017 RAM 1500 near Skokie, IL, you’re poised to benefit from two unique features that are integral to this truck’s world-class performance. One is an available class-exclusive Active-Level four-corner air suspension and the other is an equally class-exclusive TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission.
The air suspension is an engineering marvel, delivering automatic load leveling and adjustable air springs that raise and lower the vehicle to the driver’s preference. And when we say “preference”, we mean it in the most generous sense possible, because there are five different ride height settings for drivers to choose from. Handy dashboard controls make clearance adjustment a snap. And if that isn’t enough, consider that this suspension also integrates smart sensors that automatically lower the truck when on the highway, increasing fuel efficiency and minimizing drag. If that isn’t cutting-edge technology, we don’t know what is.
The aforementioned eight-speed automatic transmission is the perfect partner for another RAM brand revelation: the 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine, which makes this truck the only half-ton pickup to have such a power plant at-hand. The EcoDiesel is one of the most technologically advanced engines ever conceived, so it makes perfect sense that it boasts best-in-class highway mileage and a ridiculously good 754-mile highway driving range.
