A standout in the competitive full-size pickup truck segment, the 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 offers a wide variety of trim levels, payloads, and useful features that make it a solid choice for work or play.

In regular cab or four-door Quad Cab® configurations, the Ram 1500 is available in 6 trim levels – from basic ST to fully-loaded Laramie. The 3.7 liter V6 engine makes 215 horsepower and can handle most light-duty work. The refined and powerful 4.7 liter V8 has Flex Fuel capability to run on gasoline or E85 ethanol. The dominant 5.7 liter HEMI® V8 churns out 330 horsepower to boost your capability and acceleration. With its fuel-saving Multi-Displacement System, it deactivates four cylinders while cruising to maximize fuel savings.

4-wheel drive models feature a manual-shift transfer case or available electric shift, operating in four modes for ultimate traction and flexibility. When properly equipped, maximum towing capacity is an impressive 9,100 lbs., allowing you to tow some seriously big items. With a maximum payload of 8,510 lbs., it can accommodate some hefty loads.

Safety features include Electronic Stability Control to maximize handling and control during quick evasive moves and Hill Start Assist to prevent roll-back on large hills. Large brake calipers and available 4-wheel anti lock brakes help to prevent lockup during hard braking. Standard dual front airbags combine with available side-curtain airbags with roll sensing technology for superior passenger protection in the event of a collision. Interior options include available remote start, allowing you to start the vehicle up to 300 feet away. Available power adjustable pedals adjust forward in back to accommodate drivers of all sizes. The sophisticated DVD-based navigation system offers GPS turn-by-turn guidance with voice instruction and real-time traffic for the best guidance on your journey. Quad Cab models feature an available video entertainment system with 7-inch color LCD screen, remote control, and wireless headsets.

Big, bad, and built for the long haul, the 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 is a seriously capable work truck that’s just as comfortable in everyday driving conditions.
