Ram has outperformed the competition in setting benchmarks for:

• 1,075 lb.-ft. of torque with Cummins Turbo Diesel
• Towing capacity of 37,090 lbs. with Ram 3500
• Payload of 7,680 lbs. with Ram 3500

Odd that this was printed after Ford's 2023 Super Duty announcement of:

• 1,200lb-ft of torque
• 40,000lb towing capacity
• 8,000lb payload capacity

Most interior space with Ram Mega Cab

I didn't realize this was still a thing. Those Mega Cab trucks are huuuuuge!

Ram 1500 TRX is the quickest, fastest and most powerful mass-produced pickup truck in the world

I think Rivian would like to have a word about this. 

This is pretty exciting overall news though. I'm curious if they'll Ford-it and apply an electrified version of what they already have or GM-it and have an all-new truck for electrification. I think we'd all prefer a ground-up design but, I feel like Ram/Stalantis(or whatever they're called now) won't spend that kind of money.

Yes, I agree that they posted this, and it seems to be right after Fords announcement. But they are saying it, so I printed it. LOL

I agree, the first time I read it I actually sat for a few moments to think about it and they are right, Ford and GM does not have anything to compete with the Mega Cab. I love that and it is HUGE.

I think they are getting away with it as I feel their bullet list is a "Look at What WE DID for ICE!" and if they are using it as a yard stick on where they want to take the RAM 1500 EV, then that is great for us consumers.

Their Dare Forward plan that takes them to 2030.
