Another New Ram Model Introduced Code Name: The Adventurer

Feb. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- The Ram Truck Brand has been all about releasing new models last week and this past week. Now, the Ram Truck Brand is introducing you to the all-new Ram 1500 model. This new model is aiming at first-time truck buyers looking for a vehicle with great style and performance which they will be able to customize as their own.

Although this vehicle is being called the “Adventurer,” this Ram 1500 model has yet to be named. This unnamed Ram 1500 model will offers a standard HEMI V8 engine with 20 mpg at the same price competitors are charging for V6 engines.

“We know we have the formula right,” said Ram Truck President and CEO Fred Diaz. “Now we just need a great name that promotes pride of ownership. This new Ram model will be an attractive alternative for a younger or first-time buyer looking for performance at an affordable price. Case in point, it will have more horsepower and a lower base price than our competitors’ entry-level performance cars with the added benefit of versatility and capability.”

Loaded with Features

In addition to the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine with 390 horsepower and 407 lb.-ft. of torque, Ram 1500 “Code Name: Adventurer” comes loaded with features that emphasize its high-performance character.

The first thing drivers will notice is the Ram’s racy, monochromatic paint scheme. A body-colored grille with black honeycomb inserts, body-colored front fascia and body-colored rear fascia with chrome-tipped dual exhausts shout “high-performance.” The new Ram model will also get fog lamps and 20-inch aluminum wheels with locking lug nuts. There’s also a locking tailgate, cargo lamp, rear-bumper step pad, 6” x 9” side-view mirrors and rear wheel-well liners.

heavy-duty engine and transmission cooling and a full-size spare tire.

Inside, the new truck will get a heavy-duty vinyl 40/20/40 split-bench seat, and buyers will have a choice of vinyl or carpeted floor covering. Other features include air conditioning, an instrument cluster with tachometer and 120-mph speedometer, 12-volt auxiliary power outlet, four-spoke tilt steering wheel, six-speaker media center with CD and MP3 player, as well as audio jack input for mobile devices, automatic headlamps, behind-the-seat storage bins, driver and passenger assist handles, power accessory delay, rear dome lamp, rear-view day/night mirror, tinted glass windows, tip start and variable intermittent windshield wipers.
