The Battle of the Ram 1500 Models - Is the Sport or Laramie Right For You?
The Battle of the Ram 1500 Models - Is the Sport or Laramie Right For You?
Posted on January 22, 2022
The 2022 Ram 1500 is hands-down the best full-size pickup truck available on the market today. It provides everything that drivers need and offers the ability to customise it with additional options that drivers want. Its dedication to true luxury and capability is unmatched by others in the full-size pickup truck class.
That said, there are many different models available for drivers in Canada--eight models, to be exact. With so many options, it can be difficult to determine which one best fits your wants and needs. Two of the best choices are the 2022 Ram 1500 Sport and 2022 Ram 1500 Laramie for drivers in Richmond, BC.
Performance
One thing that remains the same on both the Sport and Laramie models is the standard engine. Both models are built with a 5.7-litre HEMI V8 engine that pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. In 4x4 models, which most drivers in Canada should choose, this engine delivers 395 horsepower, 410 lb-ft of torque, and 5,175 kg of max towing.
However, the Laramie model has two engine upgrades available while the Sport does not. The Laramie can also be equipped with a 5.7-litre HEMI V8 engine with eTorque mild hybrid system, which changes max torque to 410 lb-ft + 130 lb-ft launch torque. In addition, a 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6 engine is available, which delivers 260 horsepower, 480 lb-ft of torque, and 4,472 kg of max towing.
Interior
The interior design of the Ram 1500 may change slightly from model to model and differ between cab sizes. But it is always supremely functional. Offering tons of storage space in hidden cubbies and cavernous passenger space, the Ram 1500 holds more than its full-size competitors. As buyers go through the models, the more expensive trims will add upscale materials and comfort and convenience features that make the 1500 feel more like a luxury vehicle than an incredibly capable pickup truck.
