2013 ram 1500 tradesman 5.7 l v8 4wd crew cab

With a winning combination of strong powertrains, a smooth ride and a well-trimmed cabin, the 2013 Ram 1500 is our top pick in the full-size pickup truck segment.

The Hemi 5.7-liter V-8 producing 395 hp and 410 lb-ft is standard on Express, Big Horn/Lone Star, Sport, R/T, Laramie, and Laramie Long Horn models. The 5.7-liter Hemi is also available in the Outdoorsman. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard, but the eight-speed unit is also available for the Hemi.

The Ram 1500 is a durable pickup truck that can last between 200,000 and 250,000 miles when properly maintained and not pushed beyond its working limits. Based on an annual mileage of 15,000 miles this equates to 13 – 17 years of service before repair costs become uneconomical.

Is the Ram 1500 a Good Truck? Yes, the Ram 1500 is an excellent truck. Its potent engine lineup includes V6, V8, and diesel options, and a new high-performance TRX model debuts for 2021.
