RITA COOK: CAR REVIEW: 2014 Ram 1500 offers turbocharged diesel V6 - Washington Times
New in 2014, the Ram 1500 offers a turbocharged diesel V6 engine, but the 4. 7-liter V8 is no longer available. The Ram 1500 has been getting consistently better over the years and 2014 adds to that list of progressive tweaks with the new turbo diesel engine that will give drivers better fuel mileage and a better towing capability. Competition here is with the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 or the GMC Sierra as well as the Toyota Tundra and the Ford F-150. The 2014 Ram 1500 has a variety of body styles with a regular cab seating of three and offered in either the 6-foot-4-inch or... There is also an extended cab called the “Quad Cab” with seating for up to six people, but on this it is the 6-foot-4 bed offering only. On the crew cab you get more leg room in the back seat and a choice of the 5-foot-7 or 6-foot-4 bed. The Tradesman trim offers 17-inch steel wheels, black bumpers and grille, automatic headlights, a locking tailgate, vinyl flooring and upholstery, air-conditioning and a 40/20/40-split front bench seat. You also get a tilt-only steering wheel with cruise control and for audio a six-speaker sound system with USB inputs while on the extended and crew cabs add to that power windows and a folding rear bench seat.
