It's easy to be comfortable in Langley when you drive the 2021 Ram 1500. This pickup truck boasts many cozy touches that'll enhance every journey you take—including finishes like leather and real wood, along with heated and ventilated seats available for certain trim levels.
For passengers, there's the best-in-class rear-seat legroom of 1145 mm (45.1 inches), meaning they can really stretch out if desired (based on Automotive News' Full-size Pickup segmentation and Crew Cab model offerings). Adding the 0.93 m2 (10 ft2) sunroof gives them both panoramic views and plenty of fresh air, as well.
The entire cabin also benefits from the Ram 1500's noise-reducing technology, which cuts down on ambient sounds by employing frame-mounted active-tuned mass dampers and an available interior active cancelling system. The resulting 57.6 decibels adjustment means your conversations or music will be heard clearly while on the road.
And as for lounging space, you can also upgrade that with the class-exclusive reclining rear seat (based on Automotive News' Full-size Pickup segmentation; available on select Crew Cab model models). It gives passengers eight levels of reclining to enjoy during those long road trips across BC.

Heading out to a remote construction site can sometimes be a lengthy trip. Luckily, the 2021 Ram 3500 Big Horn comes with the best entertainment functions to keep your mind occupied and make the time fly by.
Â
As the second-level trim, the Big Horn includes the Uconnect 3 infotainment system. Operating on a 5-inch touchscreen, this multimedia hub comes with Bluetooth technology. Allowing for hands-free communication and audio, the system lets you make calls, read and send text messages, and even stream your favourite music through the 6-speaker stereo. A USB port and an auxiliary input jack are also provided in the centre.
Â
Another function of this advanced interface is to serve as the live video feed of the view from the backup camera. You can stay aware of what’s behind the truck every time you shift into reverse.
Â
Additionally, the Vehicle Information Centre is located on the 3.5-inch monitor just beyond the steering wheel. Here, you can find vital data regarding your speed, remaining fuel, and mileage. Finally, cruise control and full power accessories have also been installed for your convenience.

No matter if you are hauling a heavy trailer through Langley or taking lots of cargo in its bed, the 2021 Ram 1500 can handle it all. That's all thanks to this truck's performance features which are designed to power through everything.
After being equipped with the available 5.7L HEMI V8 engine and Class-Exclusive eTorque Mild Hybrid Technology (based on Automotive News' Full-size Pickup segmentation), the Ram 1500 churns out a maximum of 395 HP and 410 lb-ft of torque. That means you can haul up to 5783.3 kg (12,750 lbs) behind this truck when it's properly equipped. But if you're carrying lumber in the 1521 litre (53.7 cu. ft.) bed, don't worry because it can handle up to 1043 kg (2300 lbs) of payload.
That's all courtesy of the eTorque system built around a 48V battery pack and a belt-driven motor generator that replaces the traditional alternator (standard for the 3.6L Pentastar V6 and available on 5.7L HEMI V8-equipped models). This set-up boosts acceleration at lower speeds to deliver additional power when it's needed most, while also saving on fuel and improving efficiency.
Trucks work hard every day, and the 2021 Ram 1500 is built to withstand that kind of punishment - meaning drivers in Langley can enjoy years of dependable use. This pickup boasts high-quality materials and construction, so no job site will be too much to handle.
First, 98% of the steel used in the frame's construction is of the high-strength type, which helps assure excellent durability and delivers the proper amount of stiffness. On a similar note, this truck boasts the largest standard brakes in its class at 14.9 inches (based on Automotive News' Full-size Pickup segmentation), so you'll have excellent stopping power, no matter what happens.
Next, the standard styled-steel wheels can stand up to even the messiest of job sites; and there are moulded splash guards available from Mopar to help further protect them and the undercarriage from dirt, gravel and other types of debris.
Finally, you can also install the available Mopar Fender Flares. In addition to looking great, these guards help protect the truck from everything you might come across on jobs all over BC - including branches, rocks, and mud.
