2011 Ram 1500 Tradesman is built to work
Ram Truck has just dropped a low buck bombshell on the 2011 Chicago Auto Show with the 1500 Tradesman. The pickup comes standard with the company's 5.7 liter V8 with 390 horsepower and 370 pound feet of torque mounted to a five speed automatic transmission, and Chrysler says that the drivetrain is good for 20 mpg on the highway. Specifically set up for small businesses,[url=http://www.montrepas-cher.fr/]montre casio[/url], contractors and fleet service, the Tradesman is also loaded with a Class IV hitch and a handy transmission cooler. That kit helps crank up the truck's tow rating to a lofty 10,450 pounds.
The best part? Prices for this sucker start at a slim $22,780 with destination. Buyers will be able to pick between 4x2 and 4x4 trim, and a long bed option is also available. Look for the Tradesman to land on dealer lots in the second quarter of this year. Hit the jump for the full press blast.
The Tradesman is a value priced option package designed to meet the hard working needs of small businessmen, construction jobsites and commercial fleets.
"The Ram Tradesman is named for and aimed at the heart of our business," said Fred Diaz, President and CEO Ram Truck Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "This is a hard working truck for hard working people. Durability, reliability and value for the money are the top three considerations for our customers. Their truck is the most important tool they own and one they'll use every day. The Ram Tradesman is a truck they can depend on."
Ram Tradesman offers better performance for the price than other work trucks. For example, Ram Tradesman starts with the popular Ram 1500 ST trim package and adds useful features such as a standard HEMI engine with five speed automatic transmission, which balances power with fuel efficiency. HEMI equipped Ram 1500s are rated at 390 horsepower (291kW) and 407 ft. lb.(552 N torque and 20 mpg highway (4x2).
Also included in the Tradesman package is a standard Class IV trailer hitch with lighted, above bumper four and seven pin trailer wire connectors. Tradesman also features heavy duty engine cooling and a heavy duty transmission oil cooler. Properly equipped Tradesman models provide best in class standard work truck capability, towing 10,450 lbs.
