Ram 1500 Laramie Crew Cab 4X4 2014 At A Glance - Wheels.ca
t have to worry about anything at the wheel of a four-wheel-drive Ram, surefooted on big 20-inch wheels clad with winter season mud & snow tires and backed up by a long list of standard driver-assisting technologies. These included four-wheel disc ABS braking with Brake Assist, an Electronic Stability Control system, traction control, a Brake-lock Differential system (BLDS) designed to brake wheel spin, Electronic Roll Mitigation, Rain Brake Support,... The Ram I was driving traces its ancestry back through a storied history, stretching back over four generations and for more than 30 years, actually more than 30 years if we were to include previous generations of the earlier Dodge D series pickups. The Ram lineup has evolved over those years. A long slate of major revisions was unveiled just last year for 2013 models – a new 3. 6-litre V6 base engine (305 hp, 269 lb/ft), a new eight-speed automatic transmission, a new available air suspension system and a new Uconnect infotainment... For 2014, Ram offers a few further tweaks, a few new colours and, most importantly, another new engine – a 3. 0-litre EcoDiesel (240 hp, 420 lb/ft) boasting stump-pulling bottom-end power and a fuel efficiency rating of 10. 2/7. 1L/100km (city/hwy). With the brand new diesel just now coming to market, I had to plumb a different pool of power for this test, namely Ram. Source: www.wheels.ca
