If you’re shopping for a full-size pick-up truck and have visited the Ram Canada website recently, you might be surprised to see two different Ram 1500s front and centre at the same time. It’s the parts under the skin that make a difference here It’s not unusual for automakers to have two different model years available at once, even th

The Canadian auto market is just a sliver compared to how many vehicles Americans buy, but there are times when we can still throw our weight around. The monochromatic 2019 Ram 1500 Sport wasn’t part of the schedule at Michigan’s Sterling Heights plant, where the all-new 2019 truck is being built, until the folks at FCA Canada raised the roof.

Trucks sure have come a long way over the years. I can recall my Dad’s dismay at the idea that his new truck had heated seats back in 1998. “Who the hell needs heated seats in a truck?” He scoffed. Interesting post-script to that story is that he loved the new feature so much and used it so often that he actually developed a heat rash. Funny how we

Brace yourselves, Ram haters, because this review is going to come off like a commercial. The Ram 1500 was already a very good truck. But the 2019 version? This is a great truck. I spent two weeks and more than 4,000 km in the 2019 Ram 1500 Limited , towing a trailer to boot, on my family’s recent road trip to the Saguenay fjord and

The 2019 Ram 1500 Limited might not be your long-distance road tripper of choice, even if purely from a fuel efficiency perspective. Beyond the big engine / big curb weight combo, for some the idea of taking a full-size pickup anywhere but the feed lot or the farm is a non-starter (unless they’ve hitched up a boat or a camper, in which case a wee

Limited-edition pickups are almost more common than the "regular" editions these days, but Ram is hoping that crowds will be abuzz, and swarming to showrooms later this month, when the new limited-edition Stinger Yellow Sport 1500 pickup arrives and goes on sale at your local Ram hive...I mean dealer. Ok, now that I've gotten all of the puns out of

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has expanded a 2018 tailgate recall on Ram pickups to cover an additional 220,000 trucks in Canada. In the original recall issued in July 2018, FCA Canada contacted the owners of more than 260,000 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 pickups sold between 2015 and 2017 to fix power-locking tailgates that could fall open unex

Ram has unveiled their new 2019 1500 pickup. The new truck is lighter and stiffer, with better aerodynamics and the ability to haul and tow more than before. It's also adding a hybrid system for better economy. It's an all-new truck this year, starting from the frame up. The new frame is 99 percent high strength steel, and it trims 45 kg off of

The Ram 1500 is getting a new badge for 2019, to make sure buyers know which 2019 is which. Ram has introduced an all-new 1500 pickup for 2019, but until all the trims roll out they're going to keep selling the old truck. To help you know which one you're looking at, or talking about, Ram is pulling out an old trick. The pickup you know as the

Though it's been more than a year since the all-new version of Ram's 1500 pickup hit the market, the automaker is still building and selling the old one badged the Classic. Now, the CEO of FCA says that not only will production of the 1500 Classic continue, but suggests that maybe it'll even get a refresh. Ram doesn't break out sales of 1500 ser

DULUTH, MN – The 2019 Ram 1500 has been a runaway success in no uncertain terms. It was crowned North American Truck of the Year at the Detroit auto show, named autoTRADER.ca’s Top Pickup Truck of 2019 , emerged victorious in a Car and Driver three-way pickup battle, top among domestic pickups in JD Power survey… well, the list goes on. Not surp

Ahh, the venerable pickup truck. Reliable mule to the working man. Ideal platform for lifting, supercharging and bro-dozing in general. Scourge to the Brits. Scourge to The Continent, too, come to think of it. It’s all of these things and many, many more. But, ideal road trip companion? What about daily driver? Maybe not traditionally, but that’s c

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today announced that the 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel pickup truck achieves fuel consumption estimates of 10.5/7.3 L/100 km (city/highway), figures that just miss making it the most fuel-efficient full-size pickup in Canada. That title lies with the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra and their new light-duty diesel, r

Vehicle Type: Full-size Pickup Truck At a Glance When power, styling and manly-truck muscle are priorities, few machines can match the punch Dodge built into the last-generation Ram 1500. Largely considered the ‘sporty’ pickup in the segment, the 2002 to 2008 generation model hit the road in 2001 with numerous body styles, engines, feature

Review by Stephen Elmer, Jeff Wilson, and Dustin Woods. Photography by Michael Bettencourt and Stephen Elmer. Pickups have come a long way over the years. Twenty-five years ago, your typical truck buyer would have laughed at the idea of a heated steering wheel, ventilated seats, or worse yet � an option that handled back-up duties for them whil
