The pick-up segment isn’t often heralded for its efficiency. Massive engines demand equally massive amounts of fuel, after all.With the release of the 2021 1500, however, Alberta drivers are able to receive a reprieve at the pump - with this model earning up to 20 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway. How does it achieve such a high rating? Ram has paired it with two key technologies:
Â
One - A standard 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine anchors the 1500. This block utilizes both variable valve timing and revised thermal management to enhance sequencing. It’s been carefully tuned to optimize fuel distribution, while its eight-speed automatic transmission seamlessly bolsters every rev.
Two - Active grille shutters flank the front of the new 1500. These (when complemented by a precisely sculpted hood) help to reduce overall drag, redirecting currents as needed to improve aerodynamics.Â

These technologies combine to assure maximum economy, allowing the 2021 1500 to achieve a top-tier MPG rating. It also promises total pump domination over the new Tundra. Toyota’s gas-guzzling V8 earns only 13 MPG in the city and 17 MPG on the highway - forcing drivers to frequently stop their adventures and fill-up. Fun will be compromised.
