Performance & Capability

Under the hood of this RAM 1500 lies the proven Pentastar 3.6L V-6 DOHC engine, delivering a robust 305HP.

This Tradesman is equipped with an ETorque MHEV (mild hybrid electric vehicle) system, which utilizes a lithium-ion traction battery and a hybrid electric motor alternator to enhance fuel efficiency and provide seamless Auto stop-start engine functionality. To ensure longevity during heavy use, it features an Engine oil cooler and a Transmission fluid temperature gauge, allowing you to monitor vital stats in real-time. The Mechanical limited slip differential and Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle provide improved traction on slippery boat ramps or rain-slicked roads, while the Multi-link rear suspension and Heavy-duty gas-pressurized shock absorbers maintain a composed ride even when the bed is loaded.

This truck features the Uconnect 5 W Radio with 8.4-inch Display, serving as the central hub for all your media needs. With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smart device wireless mirroring, you can easily access your favorite navigation apps or playlists without fumbling with cords.

The interior is outfitted with 5 USB ports, ensuring that everyones devices stay charged during long drives across the parish. Communication is made safe and simple with Handsfree Uconnect w/Bluetooth and Voice activated audio controls, allowing you to keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. For added convenience, the 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hot Spot capability keeps you and your passengers connected to the internet, turning your truck into a mobile office or a rolling entertainment center.

Comfort & Interior

The interior of the 2026 RAM 1500 Tradesman is built for durability and ease of maintenance, featuring Diesel Gray/Black heavy duty vinyl 40/20/40 split bench seats. This material is perfect for the working professional who might bring a bit of the bayou back into the cab. The Crew Cab configuration offers a spacious environment with a seating capacity of 6, including a fold-up rear seat cushion that provides extra protected storage space inside the cabin.

For those humid Louisiana afternoons, the Manual climate control is supplemented by Rear under seat climate control ducts and Rear console climate control ducts, ensuring that passengers in the back stay just as cool as those in the front. Modern conveniences abound, including Keyless Start, Remote Engine Start, and Power windows with one-touch up/down for the driver and front passenger. The Mini overhead console and Locking glove box provide secure places for your daily essentials, while the Chrome and metal-look interior accents add a touch of refinement to the workstation.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Safety is a top priority in the RAM 1500, which comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies. The Adaptive cruise control with stop and go makes long highway stretches much less taxing, while the Forward Collision Warning-Plus and Pedestrian Emergency Braking act as an extra set of eyes to help mitigate potential accidents.

Navigating tight parking spots or backing up to a trailer is made easy with the ParkView rear mounted camera and ParkSense front and rear parking sensors.
