After the Rebel, the truck is upgraded to a V8 engine but both engines are very nice. Of course, each edition has its own specifications and even certain options within their own edition.
You will either get a V6 or V8 engine, and there are Hemi options as well with the V8 models. The smooth automatic transmission runs on 8 speeds. These trucks also have a hybrid system built into them to offer electrical support additives.
As you advance through the different options, you have more offroading capability and higher advancements in towing capacity as well. However, even the most basic model will do just fine for both work and life.
In terms of performance, every Ram 1500 allows you some towing capacity. On the low end, you’re limited to 11,500 pounds, while some models ramp up to 13,000 pounds, giving you plenty of flexibility.
Finally, we also look at fuel economy, which is essential for your work-life balance, right? Be aware that the fuel economy can vary thanks to the variety of models and the hybrid design. On average, you can expect 20 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway for the V6 options. The V8 options are slightly lower, with an average of 17 MPG and 23 MPG on city streets and highway, respectively.
