Used Dodge Ram 2015 Red Automatic

Like any of the big trucks, the Ram's looks shift subtly as it moves between trim levels. There are five different grilles in all, each with its own texture and finish, even its own name. The rear taillamps are available with LED lighting, as are the side-marker lights. The Ram's base V-6 is still the best choice for any truck user that needs an open bed more than they need a towing appliance. The 3.6-liter V-6 puts out 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, and comes linked with an eight-speed automatic transmission. With max towing of 6,500 pounds, the six-cylinder Ram's one of the lightest-duty propositions in full-size trucks. It'll haul without much effort, though the engine note moves from a V-8-like sound just off idle to a more strained one once it climbs to highway speed.

And though it takes a few tries to reach for a rotary shift knob and not a shift lever, the eight-speed automatic really makes the V-6 a relevant choice; it doesn't hunt endlessly or needlessly for the right gear. The 2015 Ram 1500 includes the usual airbags, anti-lock brakes, and traction and stability control. Every trim line also gets standard hill-start assist, which maintains braking until the gas is pressed when starting on an uphill, as well as trailer-sway control, which uses the brakes and stability control to mitigate the wagging effect induced when towing.
