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.

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.
