Prices start off at an MSRP of $30,895 with the base Tradesman trim and reach all the way to the top Laramie trim carrying an MSRP of $43,645, for a total of 8 trims being offered. With multiple powertrain and cab options available across multiple trims, there is a RAM 1500 for everyone. The 1500 Quad Cab offers 2 exciting powertrains, each offered as both a rear-wheel drive and a 4-wheel drive. 

The base engine is a 3.6L V6 engine capable of making 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. This engine is rated for a towing capacity of 7,600 pounds.
