2016 Ram 1500 Outdoorsman Features a Smooth Ride & Great Towing

Posted at Mon, Jan 16, 2017 3:15 PM

The 2016 Ram 1500 features a unique coil spring rear suspension to give it the smoothest ride when unloaded, while still having the capability to tow your trailer like a champ when equipped with the stout Hemi gasoline V8 or torquey turbodiesel V6 engine. If you’re not planning to tow heavy loads, the V6 is a great engine that can save you money.

Standard safety equipment on the 2016 Ram 1500 includes four-wheel antilock disc brakes, stability control, hill-start assist, trailer-sway control, front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. A fully integrated trailer-brake controller is available, and you can also get a rearview camera and front and rear parking sensors.

The 2016 Ram 1500's base engine is a 3.6-liter gasoline V6 that generates 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. It’s paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that is controlled by a rotary knob on the instrument panel. A 5.7 liter V8 with 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque is standard on the Sport, Laramie Longhorn and Limited trims. It available as an option on all other Rams except the HFE.

An EcoDiesel turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel V6 rated at 240 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque is optional on all but the Express, Sport and Rebel. It comes with an eight-speed automatic and gets an impressive 23 mpg combined (20 city/28 highway) for 2WD and 22 mpg combined (19 city/27 highway) for 4WD. The HFE EcoDiesel goes even further at 24 mpg combined (21 city/29 highway), earning it the title of most fuel-efficient full-size pickup.

A properly equipped Ram 1500 with the gas V6 can tow up to 7,610 pounds, while the diesel V6 maxes out at 9,210 pounds. The V8 can tow up to 10,640 pounds. The maximum payload for the gas V6 is 1,890 pounds, decreasing to 1,800 pounds with the V8 and 1,600 pounds with the diesel V6.
