The Ram 1500 Laramie V6 EcoDiesel would seem the smarter option in the Ram 1500 line-up if fuel efficiency is top on your list of requirements. Class leading comfort and space make life in a Ram Truck special. There is no doubting the intimidating looks and size packs the best road presence, and having the ability to pull the heaviest trailer as work or recreation demands; life with a Ram is good.
The Ram 1500 Laramie V6 EcoDiesel uses a solid 3.0-liter turbo-diesel that puts out 194 kW of power and 651 Nm of torque. These figures are perfect for towing, perfect for long distance cruising and decently polite at the pump. The The Ram 1500 Laramie V6 EcoDiesel 4WD is still capable of turning on some speed, with a 0-100 km/h sprint taking less than 9 seconds. As a big 4WD ute, the Ram 1500 Laramie V6 EcoDiesel should offer fuel consumption figures that sit somewhere between 8 to 12 litres/100 km, on average and depending on demands and tasks at hand. One of the cool features that every 2020 Ram Truck has is the Active Air Grille shutters, which block the front-end airflow openings to reduce drag while maintaining optimal engine temperatures. Reducing the wind drag helps improve efficiency, and these shutters open and close automatically, based on various inputs from the vehicle. So, when the vehicle is travelling at highway speeds and producing moderate engine temperatures, the shutters are closed, which directs airflow around the vehicle to reduce drag and improve efficiency. However, when the vehicle is operating in heavy stop-and-go traffic or pulling a trailer, the shutters remain fully open to allow air to flow into the engine compartment for optimal engine cooling.
The Ram 1500 Laramie V6 EcoDiesel also comes with a superbly comfortable interior, perfect for long distance and long hours. The Ram 1500 Laramie has been designed to seat five with plenty of space for the family. Heated and ventilated front and rear seats along with a heated steering wheel makes for added refinement and comfort. Sumptuous leather upholstery sets the premium standard inside the cabin, which also boasts big central storage compartments and under seat compartment storage. The multi-adjustable power driver’s seats marries nicely with the tilt steering column to give you a superb driving position that is high above most other road users.
Bluetooth communications, USB points and an auxiliary 12V power outlet allow for up-to-date connections from the comfort of the cabin. Behind the steering wheel is a nice 7-inch digital driver’s display. The 8.4-inch UCONNECT Touchscreen is clear and easy to use. Satellite navigation also adds an off-road terrain display, which is rather cool. The UCONNECT system boasts Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto. An Alpine sound system with 10 Speakers delivers the quality sound for all to enjoy, and the subwoofer ensures that the bass notes a deep and clear.
The remote keyless ENTER ‘N GO with Remote Proximity Key and Remote Start being standard on the Laramie model. Seven exterior colours, including a gorgeous Patriot Blue and Delmonico Red, ensure that you’re very classy about town. The big chrome grille, chrome bumpers, and 20-inch chrome dipped aluminium wheels make a statement everywhere you go. Exterior badge accents and wheel-to-wheel side steps add even more impact.
Space and seat comfort inside the cabin is class-leading, but you’ll also be impressed with the huge standard size rear cargo tub, which has a whopping 2 metre length and 1.6 metre width. The space between the wheel arches (1,295 mm) allows you to take a full size pallet with ease and then have plenty of space around it for carrying other building supplies, tool boxes, spray equipment or what have you. There is no other ute on the market that boasts as much cargo bed space as you’ll find on a Ram 1500.
