As the base model for the current lineup, the new 2022 Ram 1500 Tradesman houses Canada's favourite engine. Producing plenty of power for light-duty jobs, this truck can handle work and play. Plus, you can find one at O’Connor Chrysler in BC today!
Â
Rumbling underneath the hood under the Tradesman is the popular 3.6-litre V6 motor crafted by Pentastar. Combined with an 8-speed automatic transmission and the eTorque Mild Hybrid System, it generates 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque (with 90 additional lb-ft of launch torque available).
Â
If you opt for the 4x2 drivetrain, the vehicle will be able to tow up to 3,496 kg (7,710 lbs) without breaking a sweat; while the 4x4 version has the ability to haul up to 3,383 kg (7,460 lbs). It also includes an electronic shift-on-the-fly transfer case for smoother gear changes. As for the estimated fuel economy, you can expect to achieve up to 11.9 L/100 km (24 mpg) in the city and 9.4 L/100 km (30 mpg) on the highway.

Finally, the heavy-duty shock absorbers, multilink coil spring rear suspension, and dual stabilizer bars provide a more comfortable experience from inside the cabin. Experience smooth performance on any terrain.
