Tackle spring projects head-on with the 2022 Ram 1500 from St. Paul Dodge in Alberta. Unlike its competitor, the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500, this truck's V8 dominates every load with precision, affording superior trailering abilities with its robust performance.
To prove our point, let’s compare the 2022 Ram 1500 and 2022 GMC Sierra 1500’s available V8 engines to ensure you choose a pickup that meets your needs and surpasses your expectations:
2022 Ram 1500Â
Available Engine: 5.7L HEMI V8 (standard on Sport and Rebel; available on Tradesman, Big Horn, Laramie, Limited Long Horn, Limited)
Horsepower: 395
Torque: 410 lb-ft
Maximum Trailering: Up to 5,783 kg (12,750 lbs)
2022 GMC Sierra 1500
Engine: 5.3L V8 (standard on SLT and Denali; available on Elevation, SLE and Pro)
Horsepower: 355
Torque: 383 lb-ft
Maximum Trailering: Up to 5,080 kg (11,200 lbs)
As you can see, the 2022 Ram 1500 outperforms the 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 across all specs, especially its towing capacity. When hauling an RV, heavy equipment or a boat, every kilogram is essential to ensure the best performance and output. The Sierra 1500’s weaker horsepower and torque also make for slower acceleration when merging and passing. Why settle for less when you can have more with the 2022 Ram 1500?

Why settle for a mild towing experience in Alberta when you can unlock pure hauling power with the all-new 2022 Ram 1500 from St. Paul Dodge? Unlike its main competition, the 2021 Ford F-150, this truck dominates the job site and highway with vigorous towing abilities and stout pulling power.
With the 2022 Ram 1500, you can realize diesel supremacy. This pickup, which offers an available 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 engine on Laramie, Limited Longhorn and Limited trims, can tow an estimated 5,696 kg in conventional trailering when properly equipped. Delivering 260 hp and best-in-class 480 lb-ft of torque, this engine and its eight-speed automatic transmission is the obvious choice to meet your high towing demands.
In comparison, the diesel experience in the 2021 Ford F-150 is not as robust. This truck offers an optional 3.0L PowerStroke V8 with a mere 250 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque. Not only do you have less power for merging and passing on the highway, but the 2021 F-150 is also only capable of towing an estimated 5,488 kg when properly equipped. When it comes to pulling heavy loads, every kg is necessary.

Are you shopping for a pickup truck to help with jobs around home or work? The 2022 Ram 1500 Classic and the 2022 Ford F-150 are likely on your list. Both models are popular with drivers in Alberta, but one model is the better choice when it comes to horsepower and torque.
Let’s take a closer look at both base engines of the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic and the 2022 Ford F-150 to help you decide which is best for you:
2022 Ram 1500 ClassicÂ
Base Engine: 3.6L Pentastar V6 with Variable Valve Timing

Torque: 269 lb-ft
2022 Ford F-150
Base Engine: 3.3L Ti-VCT V6
Horsepower: 290
Torque: 265 lb-ft

However, where the Ram excels is horsepower. The higher the HP means the faster and stronger the truck is. With 15 more horses in the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic versus the 2022 Ford F-150, you can expect better overall performance and acceleration for merging and passing on the highway.

Alberta drivers shouldn’t have to settle for less when it comes to hauling ability. When you want first-class payload capacity, the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic – available from St. Paul Dodge – is an obvious choice. Models, like the 2022 Honda Ridgeline, think they can compare, but when stacked side-by-side, the Ram 1500 Classic is the clear winner.
Here is a closer look at the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic and the 2022 Honda Ridgeline payload-carrying abilities:
2022 Ram 1500 ClassicÂ
Engine: 3.6L Pentastar V6
Transmission: TorqueFlite eight-speed automaticÂ
Drivetrain: 4x2 (4x4 is available)
Payload Capacity: 875 kg (789 kg with 4x4)
In addition to a higher payload capacity, the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic comes equipped with a large bed to carry more cargo. Regular cab models with the eight-foot bed measure 2,497 mm with a wall-to-wall bed width of 1,687 mm. The 2022 Honda Ridgeline, on the other hand, has smaller dimensions with a bed length of 1,625 mm and a width of 1,270 mm between the wheel wells. When carrying big loads, every millimetre matters.

If you’re shopping for a well-equipped work truck for around the job site, the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic Tradesmen is an excellent choice. This full-size pickup – available from St. Paul Dodge in Alberta – features a roomy cabin with several features designed for the comfort and convenience of you and your crew.
Keyless entry and power door locks make it easy to start your day, and the Tradesmen trim includes a standard keyless start for your convenience. However, when comparing the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Work Truck, these features are optional, except keyless start, which isn’t available on this model. You also get a standard vehicle anti-theft system on the Ram 1500 Classic Tradesmen for extra peace of mind; yet, this feature is not found on the Silverado base model.
Variable speed intermittent wipers ensure visibility in bad weather conditions, and standard cruise control makes for a relaxing drive on long stretches of highway. Air conditioning is also included in the 2022 Ram 1500 Classic Tradesmen. Additionally, you can expect to find an onboard hands-free communications system and wireless smartphone hookup in the Ram pickup base trim. Once again, these features are optional on the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Work Truck.

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.

Few vehicles can compare to the comfort and convenience of a minivan – and another area this segment excels at is technology. Take the trim-topping 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Pinnacle as an example. This platform – available from St. Paul Dodge – connects Alberta families to slick infotainment features that promise to add pleasure to any trip.
Anchoring the dash of the 2022 Pacifica Pinnacle is a Uconnect 5 multimedia centre with a 10.1-inch touchscreen display, which is the largest standard touchscreen in its class. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities provide seamless smartphone integration, while a wireless charging pad ensures quick and easy charging of devices. Audiophiles love the 18-speaker Harman Kardon audio system that fills the cabin with incredible sound. Back-seat passengers can also enjoy Uconnect Theatre, which includes dual 10.1-inch rear touchscreens and Amazon Fire TV integration with over 10,000+ streaming apps to enjoy in-car entertainment.
In comparison, the 2022 Toyota Sienna’s infotainment features aren’t as rich. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities come standard, but they are not wireless like the 2022 Pacifica Pinnacle. The touchscreen is also smaller (nine inches versus the Pinnacle’s 10.1-inches), and the rear-seat entertainment system lacks streaming ability. When it comes to keeping passengers happy, the 2022 Pacifica Pinnacle is the clear winner.

If you’re shopping for a minivan with powertrain choices, stop into St. Paul Dodge to discover the 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. Alberta drivers can select from two engine options, including a fuel-efficient V6 and a hybrid powertrain.
The 2022 Pacifica comes with a 3.6L V6 engine, which delivers 287 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission is standard and drives either the front wheels or all four with the optional all-wheel-drive system. With best-in-class towing of up to 3,600 lbs, the 2022 Pacifica also ensures exceptional fuel economy and engine efficiency with a gas highway rating of 8.4 L/100 km.
Opting for the 2022 Pacifica Hybrid is a smart choice for families looking to lead a greener lifestyle. This variant uses a 3.6L V6 engine and a 16-kWh lithium-ion battery that seamlessly switches between the two systems to maximum efficiency and partially self-charge the battery through regenerative braking. The Pacifica can travel up to 50 km in all-electric mode and provide a combined driving range of 835 km.Â
The 2022 Honda Odyssey, on the other hand, is only offered with one powertrain choice – a 280-hp 3.6L V6 engine with 262 lb-ft of torque and a 10-speed automatic transmission that drives the front wheels. Fuel economy on this variant is higher than the 2022 Pacifica’s gasoline engine, earning 8.5 L/100 km on the highway.
The 2022 Chrysler Pacifica delivers the power of choice to Alberta. Contact our team at St. Paul Dodge in Alberta to learn more about this minivan’s exciting powertrain options.

When it comes to family-friendly versatility, nothing comes close to the adaptability of a minivan. Boasting three rows of seating with room for cargo and people alike, this is a segment that caters to real life. The all-new 2022 Chrysler Pacifica – available at St. Paul Dodge in AB – is no exception.Â
The 2022 Pacifica is the only vehicle in its class to offer Stow ‘n Go seating and storage systems for the second and third rows. Whether you need to transport passengers or cargo, converting the interior of this minivan is easy. With numerous seating combinations, the Pacifica accommodates seven or eight passengers, depending on the trim you choose. You can also conveniently remove the centre second-row seat to make more space for extra cargo.
The 2022 Toyota Sienna, on the other hand, isn’t as versatile as the Chrysler. Like the Pacifica, the Sienna provides three rows of seating for seven or eight people. However, the second-row seats cannot be removed, hampering the minivan’s hauling abilities. Cargo capacity behind the 2022 Sienna’s second row is 2,129 litres, while the 2022 Pacifica boasts 2,478 litres of maximum volume.
Enjoy unmatched interior adaptability in the 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. To learn how this model stacks up to its competition, get in touch with our team at St. Paul Dodge in Alberta.

The value of a minivan extends beyond seating capacity and interior versatility. Instead, Alberta families demand ride comfort for all of life’s travels. The 2022 Chrysler Pacifica – now available at St. Paul Dodge – surpasses expectations with smooth driving dynamics.
The 2022 Pacifica features a unibody structure and single unit upper body and frame, which offers better handling and ride comfort versus body-on-frame vehicles. This minivan also features a MacPherson strut layout in the front that works in unison with an independent rear suspension. This contributes to the minivan’s favourable on-road dynamics that smooth over bumps and imperfections with great precision.
The Kia Carnival, on the other hand, is an all-new minivan with an impressive design and seating capacity. But where this competitor falls short is its ride comfort. The 2022 model features a four-wheel independent suspension that struggles to provide balanced handling while maneuvering over bad stretches of road. Passengers feel jostled when the suspension reacts firmly to bumps and potholes. When it comes to ride comfort, the 2022 Pacifica is the clear winner.
