Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been known for his Twitter games and here’s a new one. This time, Ram pickups are on the opposite side and Musk may have hinted at the upcoming Tesla pickup’s towing capacity.
The second month of 2019 has been quite a chaotic one as a few recalls affecting over a million cars each have cropped up, from different manufacturers.
Ram has revealed the 2019 Heavy Duty version pickup truck at this year’s Detroit Auto Show. The most powerful engine in the HD model, the 6.7-litre inline-6 cylinder turbocharged diesel Cummins engine produces 400 hp and 1356 Nm of torque. Towing capacity is said to be almost 16,000 kg and has a payload capacity of 3484 kg. The engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Redesigns for American pickup trucks come about only once in a blue moon. However, Ford’s F-150 and GM’s Silverado/Sierra twins are raising the bar by reducing the time between redesigns and facelifts, as both have undergone notable changes over the past decade. In that time, the Ram 1500 has remained relatively stagnant, save for a couple of minor under-the-skin upgrades and a brand-name change (remember when it used to be the Dodge Ram? Some people still call it that). There is finally an all-new model for 2019, on sale in the Middle East for a couple of months already, and we got some wheel-time in a couple of variants.
Volkswagen, BMW, Ram and more. The past month of August recorded a number of recalls from different manufacturers which are listed below.
The new Ram 1500 gets an upgrade, with the 1500 Laramie Longhorn edition, which fills the workhorse to the brim with leather, making it a luxurious barge.
The month of May shines a bit with fewer recalls recorded compared to previous months. Here’s the list.
Ram — Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles’ truck brand — extended their Middle East line-up for 2017 with the addition of the new Ram 1200 metric-ton pickup truck as well as several new trim levels of the existing Ram 1500 full-sizer. We got a taste of these new trucks at a recent event in Dubai, with a bit of offroading around the Bab Al Shams area.
Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles’ truck brand, Ram, extended their Middle East line-up this week with the addition of the new Ram 1200, a metric-ton pickup truck, alongside new Rebel and Limited variants of the existing Ram 1500.
Ram unveiled the 2500 Power Wagon at the 2016 Chicago Auto Show, literally letting the truck loose on stage. Ram equipped the stage with some offroad-mimicking topography in order to show that the new Ram is not just show but go as well.
