Frequently Asked Questions on RAM Trucks

    +What makes the 2026 RAM 1500 ride quality better than other trucks?   
        RAM trucks are legendary for their superior ride quality, largely due to the class-exclusive link-coil rear suspension system. While most competitors still use stiff leaf springs, the RAM 1500 utilizes coil springs-and available Active-Level™ Four-Corner Air Suspension-to provide a smooth, car-like ride that absorbs bumps and improves handling. This technology not only enhances comfort during your Fergus Falls commute but also allows you to lower the truck for easier entry or raise it for increased ground clearance off-road.   

    +How do the new 3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo engines compare to traditional V8s?   
        The 2026 RAM 1500 features the revolutionary 3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo I6 engine, which delivers more power and better efficiency than many traditional V8 engines. The High-Output version produces a massive 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque, ensuring you have more than enough muscle for towing and passing. For those who still prefer the classic rumble, the iconic 5.7L HEMI® V8 remains available, providing a balanced 395 horsepower and the time-tested reliability RAM owners have trusted for decades.   

    +What are the class-exclusive cargo and storage features of a RAM truck?   
        RAM trucks are engineered for maximum utility with features you won't find anywhere else, such as the RamBox® Cargo Management System. These are lockable, drainable, and illuminated storage bins built directly into the bed rails, perfect for stowing tools or ice for a weekend at Pebble Lake. Additionally, the available Multifunction Tailgate features 60/40 split swing-away doors, allowing you to access the truck bed even while a trailer is hitched, making loading and unloading significantly easier.   

    +Why is the RAM 1500 interior considered the most luxurious in its class?   
        The RAM 1500 has consistently been awarded for having the best interior in the pickup segment, particularly with the new Tungsten trim. It features premium materials like quilted leather, real wood accents, and 24-way power-adjustable massaging front seats. Combined with the Uconnect® 5 system on a massive 14.5-inch touchscreen and a world-class 23-speaker Klipsch® Reference Premiere Audio System, the RAM 1500 feels more like a high-end luxury SUV than a traditional work truck.   

    +How does RAM's towing and payload capability stack up for 2026?   
        Whether you are hauling for work or play, the 2026 RAM lineup provides industry-leading strength. The RAM 1500 offers a maximum towing capacity of up to 11,580 pounds, while the heavy-duty RAM 2500 and 3500 models can tackle the toughest jobs with up to 37,090 pounds of towing capacity when equipped with the High-Output Cummins® Turbo Diesel. Our experts can help you select the right axle ratio and towing package to ensure your RAM is perfectly spec'd for your specific hauling needs in Minnesota.
