If you are seeking a diesel truck with robust capability for big jobs, the 2022 Ram 1500 is worth a test drive from St. Paul Dodge in Alberta. This rig affords Elk Point drivers with strong diesel horsepower and best-in-class torque ratings, unlike its main competitor, the 2022 Ford F-150.
Optional on Laramie, Limited Longhorn and Limited trims, the 2022 Ram 1500 offers an available 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine. This block features compacted graphite iron and aluminum twin-cam heads with B20 biodiesel capability and Active Air Grille Shutters. With 260 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of best-in-class torque flowing through the eight-speed automatic transmission, the 2022 Ram 1500 delivers robust pulling power with a 5,696-kg towing capacity.
The 2022 Ford F-150, on the other hand, simply cannot compete. For its 2022 model year, the Blue Oval discontinued the F-Series truck’s 3.0L PowerStroke Diesel V8 engine in favour of an all-electric powertrain on the F-150 Lightning. If you want an F-150 diesel, you’ll have to settle for a 2021 model. You’ll also get less power and twist with 250 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque. The truck’s hauling abilities leave little to desire, too, with a 5,488 kg towing capacity.

Regardless of your confidence as a driver, accidents can happen – that’s why you should choose a rig with advanced technologies and safety ratings. At St. Paul Dodge, that truck is the 2022 Ram 1500. This model was named the 2022 Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for the large pickup category, affording Alberta drivers additional peace of mind.
In terms of crashworthiness, the 2022 Ram 1500 scored Good across all six evaluations (the highest grade available), including small overlap front driver/passenger, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, head restraints and seats. The 2021 GMC Sierra 1500, on the other hand, earned a Marginal score for the small overlap front passenger assessment due to a poor structure and safety cage and lower leg/foot occupant injury measures. When keeping your crew and family protected in an accident, you don’t want to settle for second-best.
The 2022 Ram 1500 also earned an Advanced grade for the crash avoidance and mitigation category for vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention, unlike the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500, which did not rank for this assessment. The Ram truck also boasts a standard forward collision warning with an active braking system on Sport and higher trims to minimize vehicle-to-vehicle crashes. To get this advanced safety technology on the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500, you must add it as an optional feature since it is not included on any trim.

Inject efficiency into every day. The 2022 Ram 1500 - which is currently available at St. Paul Dodge - embraces value, pairing its standard 3.6L Pentastar V6 with a series of economy upgrades. Achieve superior performance at the pump… especially when compared to the 2022 Nissan Titan.Â
Anchoring the new 1500 is a 3.6L engine. This suite - which combines an eight-speed automatic transmission with variable valve timing - enables Alberta drivers to defy gas-guzzling expectations. Revised thermal management promotes precise temperature control; while an integrated eTorque mild hybrid function enhances responses. Through this, the truck can achieve an impressive 9.4 L/100km (25 MPG) on the highway and 11.9 L/100km (19.8 MPG) in the city.Â
Compare this to the 2022 Nissan Titan. This pick-up features an inefficient 5.6L V8 - which earns a mere 21 MPG on the highway and 16 MPG in the city. Its higher demand for premium gas will force Alberta drivers to more frequently seek out fuel stations.Â
Choose an economical option for your adventures. Visit St. Paul Dodge today to learn more about the 2022 Ram 1500 and its Pentastar engine - as well as how it fares against the new Nissan Titan.

With spring’s arrival in Alberta, the trails are calling your name. You need a truck with off-road capabilities, so you might be researching the 2022 Ram 1500 and the 2022 Toyota Tundra. Both trucks offer all-terrain packages; however, the 2022 Ram 1500 – available from St. Paul Dodge – is the better option which more trail-hungry equipment.
For 2022, the Ram 1500 offers an available BackCountry Edition Package, which is optional on the Big Horn trim. This group adds an aggressive off-road look and feel to the truck with unique decals, a tonneau cover and tow hooks. A raised ride height and 18-inch off-road tires allow the truck to climb over craggy terrain, while skid plates for the fuel tank, transfer case, front suspension and steering gear provide superior protection. Heavy-duty shocks also afford excellent articulation and comfort, while a rear locking axle offers extra traction.Â
On the other hand, the 2022 Toyota Tundra offers an available TRD Off-Road Package for the SR5, Limited and 1794 models. The package includes similar equipment to the Ram 1500, including 18-inch wheels, off-road suspension and skid plates. However, it does not have some of the 2022 Ram 1500’s equipment, including bed steps and tubular side steps, which provide ease on the trails.

Are you trying to decide between the 2022 Jeep Cherokee and the 2022 Toyota RAV4? If you’re looking for an SUV offering powertrain options, the Cherokee – which is available now at St. Paul Dodge – far exceeds its Japanese counterpart.
The 2022 Cherokee offers Alberta drivers the choice of three engines, starting with a 2.4L four-cylinder with 180 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque. Moving up is a more robust 3.2L V6 that generates 271 hp and 239 lb-ft of torque. Finally, a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder ensures spirited performance with 270 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Regardless of the block you choose, all engines pair to a nine-speed automatic transmission delivering smooth shifting capabilities.
The 2022 Toyota RAV4 only matches the power of the Cherokee’s base engine with a 2.5L four-cylinder. This block generates 203 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque – but that’s where it ends. The RAV4 is not available with a V6 or any other gasoline engine. What you see is what you get – including an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Another advantage of the 2022 Cherokee is its trailering prowess. The Jeep SUV’s base engine surpasses the RAV4’s 680-kg hauling capability with a maximum 907-kg towing capacity. The V6 and turbocharged four-cylinder can also tow an impressive 2,041 and 1,814 kg, respectively. Whether you pull a boat or a camper, the Cherokee is well-equipped to handle your towing demands.

Finding an SUV with fuel-sipping performance can feel like a tall order these days. As gas prices continue to climb and visits to the pumps become more expensive than ever before, finding relief is essential.
But at St. Paul Dodge, we have good news. The all-new 2022 Jeep Cherokee delivers impressive fuel economy figures to Alberta – much better than those belonging to its SUV competition, the Chevrolet Tahoe.
The 2022 Jeep Cherokee offers a 3.2L V6 engine - standard on North and higher trims - that delivers 271 hp and 239 lb-ft of torque. The 2022 Tahoe, on the other hand, comes with a gas-guzzling 5.3L V8 block that literally drinks fuel. Unlike the 2022 Cherokee, which returns 8.6 L/100 km on the highway, the 2022 Tahoe gets an estimated 12.7 L/100 km, cementing its heavy fuel consumption stereotype.
The 2022 Jeep Cherokee also features an aerodynamic underbody treatment to enhance the SUV’s efficiency. But, again, this feature isn’t found on the Chevy Tahoe.

When it comes to performance, active families want an SUV that can comfortably seat passengers and haul a trailer or boat with ease. With the 2022 Cherokee from St. Paul Dodge, Alberta drivers get the versatility they crave. Compared to the 2022 Mazda CX-5, the Jeep offers an available V6 engine, bringing superior under-hood power and strong towing abilities.
The 2022 Cherokee Sport comes standard with a 2.4L Tigershark engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission that achieves 180 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque with a maximum towing capacity of 907 kg (2,000 lbs). However, stepping up to the North trim equips the 2022 Cherokee with a 271-hp 3.2L Pentastar V6 engine with 239 lb-ft of torque and a nine-speed automatic transmission. With this block, the Jeep SUV can tow 2,041 kg (4,500 lbs) to confidently pull a camper or watercraft.
The 2022 Mazda CX-5, on the other hand, only offers a 2.5L four-cylinder engine that generates 187 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque. Compared to the Cherokee’s available 3.2L V6, the CX-5 delivers a much milder hauling experience with a maximum 907 kg (2,000 lbs) towing capacity.

The 2022 Jeep Cherokee from St. Paul Dodge and the 2022 Honda CR-V deliver comfort and style to the compact SUV segment. However, while both models are suitable for families, singles and couples alike, only one has the 4x4 capability that Alberta drivers crave.
All trims of the 2022 Cherokee come equipped with a Selec-Terrain Traction Management System, which delivers five customizable settings (Auto, Snow, Sport, Sand, and Mud modes) that intensify the SUV's 4WD performance. In addition, the system modifies the steering, suspension, throttle response and gearbox shift characteristics of the Jeep to fit driving conditions and road surfaces. On the other hand, the CR-V only offers Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control, which does not include specific drive modes for catered performance.
The 2022 Cherokee also comes standard with 4x4 capabilities on all trims, including the base Sport. With Jeep Active Drive I, the SUV ensures seamless operation in and out of 4WD at any speed. Additionally, the system includes brake-traction control to maintain balanced torque distribution for all-weather capability. Conversely, Real-Time AWD with Intelligent Control is only available on the 2022 CR-V.

The 2022 Ram 1500 – offered at St. Paul Dodge in Alberta – pairs its impressive max pulling power of up to 5,783 kg with innovative bed features that enhance the payload abilities of this truck. One example is the Ram 1500’s multifunction tailgate, which delivers divided-door flexibility. This ingenious feature far surpasses the 2022 Ford F-150’s standard tailgate in terms of convenience and versatility.
Every trim of the 2022 Ram 1500 offers the available multifunction tailgate. The 60/40-split, swing-away doors provide quick access to the cargo bed without reaching over a conventional fold-down hatch. However, when big jobs call for traditional tailgate accessibility, the Ram 1500 can be lowered, holding up to 907 kg (2,000 lbs) in the open position.
The 2022 Ford F-150, on the other hand, does not offer divided-door accessibility into the truck’s bed. Instead, the only option is a conventional hatch that reveals a flat surface to write on. The maximum weight load for the Blue Oval’s tailgate is also not rated – meaning that Alberta drivers need to be careful when loading the bed with heavy cargo.
