The Ram 1500 Sport gets the tried and true 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine, now putting out 395 horsepower an 410 lb-ft. Stepping up to the Sport tested here will set buyers back $64,495, but there’s a lot more truck to be had.
The 20 is the new body, which has been sold for the past three years, and starts at $47,445 for a bare-bones Tradesman. Ram still offers two distinct body styles for their 1500, starting with the previous generation body style sold as the Ram 1500 Classic with a starting price of $28,440. We jumped behind the wheel of a 20 Sport G/T, with a whole plethora of bells and whistles, to see what it offers as a regular, trustworthy work companion. While these trucks are promising from a first glance, the majority of truck buyers want to stick with a formula that works, and are somewhat averse to serious change. Recent announcements from Ford and General Motors about their trucks involve electrification, with the upcoming F-150 Lightning and Silverado EV. This time around it isn’t about payload or towing capability, but what seems to be an industry trend. The light-duty pickup truck market is evolving.
