Ram

Formerly known as the Dodge Trucks lineup, Ram is one of the hardest working brands in America today. Thanks to innovations like adjustable air suspension, the segment’s first 8-speed transmission and the powerful Hemi V8 - Ram trucks are among the most powerful, the most capable and the most efficient available today.

Most vehicles have cabin air filters. For some reason, many Ram 1500s do not. They are supplied for the 2017 Ram 1500, but there is a relatively easy modification available for other Ram owners.

FCA has announced the pricing for the new 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon and with a price starting just over $53,000 and climbing up around $57,500, the heavy duty, Hemi-powered Ram truck is priced very comparably to the 2017 Ford F150 Raptor.

The Ram Brand introduced a Hellcat-powered Ram Rebel last month, but the “Hellfire” Ram 1500 from the 2016 SEMA Show is the supercharged Ram truck that we really want – looking like the perfect modern day replacement for the Dodge Ram 1500 SRT10.

We know that there is a Hellcat Hemi-powered Jeep Grand Cherokee on the way in the next year or so and we expect that it will be called the Trackhawk, but before the Ram Rebel TRX Concept we had never seen a Hellcat in anything other than a rear-drive car – leading me to believe that the Hellcat Ram Concept is intended to tease the Hellcat Jeep.

Germany is trying to outlaw all diesels by 2030. Could that type of action in the European Union take hold in America? Would they ever legislate the demise of popular trucks, like this Ecodiesel that was voted Rocky Mountain Truck of the Year in 2015?
