What's New for 2013 RAM 1500 Pickup Truck
The 2013 Ram 1500 gets a stronger V6, a stronger frame, an eight-speed transmission and a truckload of comfort and convenience technology.
Introduction
Smithhaven Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM is a full service dealership specializing in RAM 1500 pickup trucks. We have some aggressive lease and purchase specials for the 2012 and 2013 RAM 1500 inventory we have in stock at your Lakeland, Florida dealership.
The new 3.6-liter V6 boasts 42 percent more horsepower and 20 percent higher fuel mileage. Other advances in efficiency include a new eight-speed automatic transmission as well as available stop/start technology.
And the worthwhile changes don't stop with the powertrain, as the 2013 lakeland, FL Ram 1500's frame has been redesigned. It's both stronger and lighter, while a newly available air suspension offers five different settings for ride height and a total ride-height adjustment span of 4 inches. This means owners can raise the RAM 1500 for better ground clearance or lower it for better fuel efficiency and easier entry and exit for occupants. The air suspension also has automatic load-leveling functionality, helping to improve towing and hauling performance.
Other new conveniences include power-folding mirrors, power stainless-steel running boards, a power rear-sliding window with defrost, and a central locking mechanism that also secures the tailgate and RamBox cargo system with one button. New for 2013, the Ram 1500 Crew Cab will also offer an optional full-size, 6-foot-4 cargo bed. And although the Ram already arguably had the nicest cabin in its class, it's even nicer now. Premium materials are used liberally, while available conveniences include keyless entry/ignition and even a WiFi hotspot link.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2013 Ram 1500 is a full-size pickup available in multiple body styles. The regular cab seats three and is available with either a 6-foot-4-inch or 8-foot cargo bed.
