2017 Ram 1500 SLT HEMI V8

Experience the legendary performance of a true North American powerhouse, featuring Chrome Front and Rear Bumpers, Remote Keyless Entry, and a Class IV Receiver Hitch. This 2017 Ram 1500 SLT is powered by the formidable 5.7L HEMI V8 engine, delivering a commanding 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. Equipped with FuelSaver MDS technology, this V8 can deactivate four cylinders during steady cruising to improve efficiency without sacrificing the raw strength needed for hauling heavy loads across Edmonton or merging onto the busy Anthony Henday.

The SLT trim strikes the perfect balance between a rugged work tool and a comfortable daily driver. Inside, the cabin features Premium Cloth 40/20/40 Split-Bench Seating, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a standard 5-inch Uconnect touchscreen (often upgraded to the 8.4-inch Uconnect 3C system in many used units). While this model year predates wireless smartphone integration, it offers robust Bluetooth Hands-Free Communication, SiriusXM capability, and a media hub with USB and auxiliary inputs. For those cold Alberta mornings, many SLT models include the Cold Weather Group, which adds Heated Front Seats and a Heated Steering Wheel.

Capability is where the HEMI-powered SLT earns its keep. Utilizing the class-exclusive Multilink Coil Rear Suspension, this truck delivers a smooth, car-like ride that handles the frost heaves of the Yellowhead Trail better than any leaf-sprung competitor. When properly equipped, it boasts a maximum towing capacity of up to 4,831 kg (10,650 lbs) and a payload capacity of 853 kg (1,880 lbs). The 4x4 system is controlled via an electronic shift-on-the-fly transfer case, allowing for quick transitions into four-wheel drive as soon as the winter snow begins to pile up.

Efficiency is optimized by the standard TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission, which provides seamless shifting and helps the 4x4 HEMI achieve an NRCan-estimated highway fuel economy of 11.5 L/100 km (16.2 city / 14.1 combined). Safety is built-in with standard Electronic Stability Control, Trailer Sway Damping, and Hill Start Assist. Most units also feature the ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera, making it effortless to line up a trailer hitch or back into a tight parking stall at the job site.
