After the Ram 1500’s redesign for the 2019 model year, this full-size truck returns for 2020, still at the top of its game. Customers of the Bridgman Ram dealer are impressed with the 2020 Ram 1500, thanks to its exceptional handling, sophisticated cabin and exclusive rear suspension. The Ram 1500 offers drivers a carlike ride that you just won’t get with rival pickups. When it comes to muscle, the Ram 1500 delivers towing and hauling specs that are among the top in its class, with a maximum towing capacity of 12,750 pounds.
Among the new features for 2020 is a turbocharged 3.6-liter EcoDiesel V6 that was originally released at dealerships like the Ram dealer near Bridgman in the 2019 Ram 1500. This unit had to be pulled because of certification issues. The new version of this block gets a power boost and even greater fuel economy. There are also three new exterior paint colors, called Hydro Blue, RV Match Walnut Brown and Olive Green.
The 2020 Ram 1500 is offered in six trim levels: Tradesman, Big Horn (known as the Lone Star in Texas), Rebel, Laramie, Long Horn and Limited. We’ll look at the different trim levels and see what each one offers.
