The verdict

What's good

Coil-spring rear suspension delivers the smoothest unloaded ride in the truck segment
Multifunction tailgate with multiple configurations rivals any truck for practicality
Cabin sound insulation is class-leading, quieter than many luxury sedans
eTorque mild hybrid improves low-speed towing feel and stop-start smoothness

What's not

Large footprint makes tight urban parking and multi-deck garages difficult
Turning radius is among the widest in the segment, U-turns require planning
Bed bounces noticeably empty at highway speeds without a load
EcoDiesel and eTorque systems add complexity that can generate dealer visits

The engine

HEMI

5.7L V8 Mild-Hybrid

Ram's 5.7-liter HEMI V8 brings classic American pushrod muscle, now with a 48-volt eTorque mild-hybrid that smooths stop-start and fills in low-end torque for effortless hauling.

The HEMI name — for its hemispherical combustion chambers — is Chrysler legend dating to the 1950s, reborn in 2003 and now lightly electrified for the modern era.

'HEMI' refers to the hemispherical combustion-chamber shape, a Chrysler hallmark since the 1950s.
The eTorque belt-driven motor adds a brief torque boost and runs the stop-start seamlessly.
