Are you a first-time truck buyer who needs important questions answered before you select your truck?

Well, whether you're a first-time truck buyer or you just need a refresher about how to select the best RAM truck to fit your needs, we have a couple of important pointers.

Really, the most important consideration to factor when you're shopping at a dealership like Conway Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM is how much weight you think you'll be hauling and pulling. Easy enough, right? That's what designations like "half ton" and "three-quarter-ton" are for, right?

Not so fast!

Our pickup and Motor Trend Truck of the Year option, the RAM 1500, is capable of much more than the half-ton name suggests. If you decide on the basic 1500 tradesman, you'll be able to carry a maximum payload of 1,930 lb. and tow up to 10,450 lbs.

If your duties require more than a ton's worth of work, then that's when you'll want to try a heavy-duty truck like our 2500 and 3500.  For instance, the 2500 offers a max payload of 3,170 lbs. and has a towing capacity of up to 18,350 lbs--ideal if you're carrying a large trailer or boat.

You'll also want to consider what's under the hood of each truck. The 1500 pickup carries the option of an available award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, a 5.7-liter HEMI, or a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel engine. The 2500--to keep the comparison--carries 5.7-liter HEMI, 6.4-liter HEMI, and 6.70liter Cummins Turbo Diesel engine options.
