2013 Ram 1500 in Racine

We know that you have options when looking to buy a new truck. But if you look at the stats, you might see that the 2013 Ram 1500 in Racine is a pretty admirable entry in the segment. Just looking at the Ram tells you pretty clearly that the truck belongs. It looks like a truck – it feels like a truck – and it gets the job done, you guessed it, like a truck.

We’ll get to some of the stats on our Ram 1500 in Racine here at Palmen Dodge Chrysler Jeep of Racine. But one figure that sets the truck apart from the rest is its efficiency. The Ram 1500 is actually capable of getting an impressive 25 miles per gallon fuel efficiency thanks to some new technology that allows the engine to maximize efficiency without giving up on capability.

Of course, we are talking about a Ram truck here. So there’s plenty of power under the hood where you need it. The 5.7-liter HEMI V8 has an output of 395 horsepower, which explains how the Ram does business. Of course, the version that gets the 25 MPG fuel economy also has 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. This is the revolutionary 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. As many know, the Pentastar engines have been changing the game in all segments.

A big reason the fuel efficiency is so great is the eight-speed transmission that the engine is mated to. The acceleration from the low gears allows the truck to have the capability that consumers need while also making it very efficient. The smooth transition through eight gears means that less RPMs are being used, which in turn leads to less fuel being used.

So if you’re in the market for a real truck, the 2013 Ram 1500 in Racine is a great option to go with. The truck is available here at Palmen Dodge Chrysler Jeep, your Ram dealer in Racine in many different trims.
