Find Out Why RAM is the Ultimate Edmonton Vehicle
Find Out Why RAM is the Ultimate Edmonton Vehicle
Posted on August 30, 2019
What makes Edmonton such a great city? Maybe it has something to do with how close we are to gorgeous destinations like Wabamun Lake and Elk Island National Park, or maybe it’s our world-class attractions (cue the RE/MAX Field, Rogers Centre and West Edmonton Mall). Maybe it’s just because we’re the home of the Oilers. Either way, if you want to enjoy Edmonton life to the fullest, you’d better be doing it from the steering wheel of a pickup -- and what better truck to choose than Motortrend’s 2019 Truck of the Year: RAM 1500.
RAM Does it All
As versatile as it is powerful, RAM is the pickup that delivers all year round. For the avid outdoors person, you’ll be blown away by how much camping equipment you can stash in 61.5-cubic-feet worth of truck bed (the maximum bed size for this model). When you’re not roughing it in the mountains or taking it easy by the lake, you’ll love how simple it is to fit 4x8 sheets of plywood back there -- along with any other building supplies or tools you need to take on the daily grind.
Planning on road-tripping to Jasper, Banff or Calgary over the next few months? Spending time inside the cab of this completely-redesigned pickup is a treat with features like the largest available touchscreen infotainment centre, ample rear seat leg space and fully-reclinable front seats that give you the perfect view of the night sky out of a dual-pane sunroof. Who needs a tent for the Edmonton Rock Music Festival when sleeping inside the 2019 RAM is basically like having your own mini-suite?
Love RAM but aren’t sure if it’s family-friendly? We’ve already told you how roomy the back seat is -- meaning you won’t be bumping your head or straining your back every time you have to buckle up a car seat. RAM also steps up in a big way when it comes to safety with smart features like Blind-Spot Detection, Forward Collision Warning and Bird’s Eye View, all designed to work alongside you as you maneuver through the streets and highways of Edmonton.
RAM Versus the Competition
The all-new RAM has been earning praise everywhere it goes due to its best-in-class specs. If you need power, RAM stands up to the challenge boasting a maximum towing capacity of 12,750 lbs -- beating out favourites like Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tundra and GMC Sierra. RAM’s payload wins over all of those models as well, coming in at 2,320 lbs. If mileage is on your mind, you’ll be happy to hear that RAM consumes as little as 11 L/100 km of fuel -- a significant drop from past models (and drastically lower than some pickup models -- we’re looking at you, Tundra!)
With the triple threat of cutting edge tech, advance safety and impressive power capabilities, it’s easy to see why RAM is the obvious choice for Edmonton locals. Sure, it sounds nice, but wait until you get inside one of our new models at Crosstown Chrysler and feel the RAM difference for yourself. Ready to drive home in a RAM?
