Why Buy a Used Ram 1500
It's common knowledge that a used car is more affordable than buying the same car new. The affordability of used cars is because of depreciation. As time passes, the value of an asset reduces. This reduction in value is what we know as depreciation. In most cases, a new vehicle loses about 20% of its original value within the first year of ownership. Within three years, the original value usually drops by about 40%. However, with 60% of the car's value remaining, depreciation slows down to approximately 10% each additional year. This gives used car shoppers more affordable options while also enjoying more of the value of the car longer. As long as the vehicle has been well maintained, used car shoppers should never shy away from a deal, even if the car has a few thousand miles on the odometer.
Ram 1500 Engine and Drivetrain Options
One of the most loved things about the Ram 1500 is its powerful engine options. Beginning the engine lineup is the 3.6-liter V6, which comes standard with most Ram 1500 trim levels. This delivers 305 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque to haul up to 7,730 pounds. The most popular Ram 1500 engine is the 5.7L HEMI V8, which provides 395 horsepower, 410 lb-ft of torque, and up to 12,750 pounds of towing capacity when paired with the optional eTorque mild-hybrid system, which has been available since 2019. While the V8 engine is standard for the Limited trim, it is optional for all other trim levels. The 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 is the last available option. This engine uses diesel power to provide 260 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque for a 12,560-pound towing capacity. Standard equipment for the Ram 1500 includes an 8-speed automatic transmission powering a rear-wheel-drive system. However, you'll find that most Ram 1500 models here in Michigan are equipped with 4x4, as it is better suited to tackle our oftentimes brutal winters.
