In the full-size pickup truck class, the RAM 1500 is a versatile offering that vaunts several cab styles for varied capabilities. However, out of all options, the Crew Cab variant nails the brief of being a family hauler with its capacious cabin and commercial viability. It comes with two rows of seating and has an ergonomic set up with a user-friendly infotainment system. The truck can tow around 10,340 lbs and has an equally impressive payload capacity of 1,638 lbs, yet it tends to fall diminutively short of its competitors. Nonetheless, its calm engine options and a refined 8-speed automatic transmission unit make it an absolute peach.
