When it comes to performance, the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic – available from St. Paul Dodge in Alberta – is far superior to the competition. This mighty machine offers two powerful engine options (each with eight-speed automatic transmissions), while its main competitor, the 2021 Toyota Tundra, only provides one.
The 2022 Ram 1500 Classic comes standard with a 3.6L Pentastar V6 with Variable Valve Timing and a sophisticated Thermal Management System, which ensures optimal performance with 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The available 5.7L HEMI V8 engine unlocks 395 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque. With this block, you can haul confidently with a maximum towing capacity of 4,817 kg. Payload capacity is equally stout, with a maximum rating of 821 kg.
If you’re considering the 2021 Toyota Tundra, your only engine choice is the standard 5.7L V8, which features Dual Independent Valve Timing. It connects to a six-speed automatic transmission and delivers 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque – much less than the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic. In addition, you’ll have less towing capacity with the Tundra, with only 4,626 kg of pulling power.
Don’t settle for less performance when you can have it all with the all-new 2022 Ram 1500 Classic. To schedule a test drive in this truck, contact our team at St. Paul Dodge in Alberta today.
