RAM

There's a new "apex predator, in the truck world," Ram declares in introducing the new 702-hp 1500 TRX. More than just some extra horsepower (okay, a lot) under its scooped hood, the TRX has been reworked from the tires up for furious off-roading.

Ready.Set.Van steps away from the overbuilt Sprinter 4x4s that tend to dominate the US van conversion scene, building a more cosmopolitan breed of camper van. Its vans feature beautiful interiors wired up with loads of off-grid Tesla battery power.

Ram has put a lot of work into its new-generation heavy-duty pickup trucks. About a year ago, Ram introduced the all-new 2019 Ram HD lineup in Detroit. We've recently been putting the 2020 Ram 2500 Limited trim through its paces.

After covering a convincing little Toyota Sienna minivan camper, we figured someone out there must be creating gas-electric mini-campervans built on the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. We found one in the Illusion Hybrid from 5 Mars, a playful but efficient camper van optimized for long-mileage tours.

​Ram Truck unveiled new chassis cab heavy-duty work truck models at the Chicago Auto Show in February. With towing maxing at over 35,000 pounds, it’s clear that something is happening with these trucks. We’ve had a chance to get more up close and learned that the secret is in chassis engineering.

Ram Truck has unveiled a new multifunction tailgate for the Ram 1500 pickup truck that directly takes on the MultiPro tailgate from GMC. The multifunction tailgate from Ram opens downward, splits to open to either side, and can be used while a trailer is attached.

​After unveiling the new 2019 Ram 1500 half-ton truck at the Detroit show last year, Ram returned this year with the heavy duty versions of that truck, the 2019 Ram 2500 and 3500 models. Both include a Cummins diesel option with an unprecedented 1,000 foot pounds of torque.​

The Carado Vlow isn't available in North America, but the American-market Hymer Aktiv 2.0 Loft Edition sleeps four to five people in a very different layout. It treats the whole family right with dual lounges, a power sofa and an entertainment system.
