In the eternal battle for the best truck on the lot, the 2020 Ram 1500 holds a decisive edge. Its well-rounded attributes bring light-duty trucks into a new age of comfort and capability with its smooth ride and upscale interior. Be Ram-ready for the New Year with your very own 2020 Ram 1500 pickup. What’s new for the upcoming model year? Let’s find out.
New EcoDiesel
The upcoming fifth-generation Ram 1500 truck touts some exciting new changes. The biggest news is the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel. This powerhouse returns with more torque than ever before and all the grunt you need to tow 12,560 pounds.
If you’re not a diesel fan, you still get your choice of a 3.6-liter V-6 and a 5.7-liter V-8. Ram added a mild hybrid system that improves fuel efficiency and a stop-start engine system, standard on the V-6.
Packages
The 2020 Ram 1500 comes with several appearance and work packages, including the Chrome Appearance Package with a flashy grille, the Trailer-Tow Group with a Class IV receiver hitch and a trailer brake controller, and the premium exterior lighting package that touts LED headlights, taillights, and front fog lights.
The Sport Appearance Package includes classy black interior accents, while the Night Edition Package boasts 20-inch aluminum black wheels. The Bed Utility Group adds convenient in-bed LED lighting.
Trims
Ram’s 2020 half-ton pickup truck comes in six trims. No matter which one you pick, it will be a terrific choice for your next dream truck. Opt for the off-road-focused Rebel or, if you want the most bang for your buck, the Laramie. It offers plenty of standard equipment and appealing amenities, such as heated and ventilated front seats, at a reasonable price.
There’s also the Laramie Longhorn and Limited variants for the 2020 model year. As expected, the higher trims provide levels of luxury that the base Tradesman and the Big Horn don’t.
Awards
If you’re the kind of truck buyer who likes accolades, you’re going to love the Ram 1500. Buying a truck often comes down to brand loyalty, and this pickup’s long list of awards puts it over the top. It’s the proud recipient of Truck Trend’s 2019 Pickup of the Year, plus it’s a Consumer’s Guide Best Buy eight years running. Motor Trend honored it as its 2019 Truck of the Year, and we think you’ll find it’s pretty popular in Texas too.
Safety
Every 2020 Ram 1500 is outfitted with a standard rearview camera. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded this truck with a Top Safety Pick+. The Ram’s 2020 Crew Cab variant earned the organization’s highest honor by acing all six crash tests. It also received a perfect overall five-star rating from The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
You owe it to yourself to check out the capable and feature-packed 2020 Ram 1500. Its excellent driving dynamics and generously appointed interiors make it a top pick on the lot.
