When it comes to hauling a heavy or rough payload, no other truck does it better than the 2022 Ram 1500. This innovative lineup comes with amazing standard features for themed, as well as some incredible upgrades and options as you move up the trim level ladder. Available at O’Connor Chrysler, you can ride home in one of these hardy models today!
Â
The base Tradesman starts off with a dampened tailgate. This simply means that it can be easily lowered without you having to stand there and hold it. In other words, it will not slam down when you open it.
Â
If you opt for the Limited Longhorn or higher, you will get several box upgrades. The first is a remote locking tailgate. This allows you to secure the cargo from the key fob. Another enhancement is the spray-in liner. Serving as a shield for the metal floor and sides, it guards against scratches and dings. Lighting is also included, which enables you to check on your items at night without breaking out a torch.
Â
Finally, it’s worth noting that the coveted Multifunction Tailgate can be added to any trim except the TRX. This innovative mechanism allows the back to be opened like swing-out doors. The benefit to this is that you can get closer to the bed for unloading.

If you are thinking about buying a new 2022 Ram 1500 pickup, then you may be wondering which model you should get. While the decision is ultimately yours, there are a few things that may help you decide on the appropriate trim level for your specific needs. Available at O’Connor Chrysler in BC, you see these vehicles in person today!
Â
Believe it or not, exterior lighting can make all the difference in the world when choosing the right truck. For the Ram 1500 lineup, there are two bulb types to look at.
Â
The first is the conventional halogen bulb. Producing a traditional yellow beam, these lights cast a warm glow over the road ahead. Also sometimes labelled as incandescent bulbs, they work when an electric charge strikes a tungsten filament. All located inside a heat-resistant envelope (the actual bulb), the surrounding argon and nitrogen gases keep it lit.
Â
On the other hand, high trim levels come with LED bulbs. Giving off the eye-catching bluish/white hue, these can pierce through the darkness much further than their halogen counterparts. They are also more energy-efficient and have longer lifespans. You won’t have to change them out as frequently.
