2021 RAM 1500 Lone Star

The 2021 Ram 1500 is a full-size pickup that spans from work-ready trims to the high-performance TRX. It competes with the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500, offering a coil-spring rear suspension for a smoother ride. The Ram 1500 drives with composed handling and a quiet cabin, though the TRX's firm ride is the price of its off-road capability. The cabin is roomy and upscale, with an available 12-inch touchscreen and class-leading rear-seat space in Crew Cab models. The Lone Star skips the Rebel's off-road hardware but keeps the comfortable coil-spring ride, and you save thousands over the Laramie. Its 5.7L V8 makes 395 horsepower and pairs with an eight-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, and you'll see 17 mpg combined. The standard cloth bench seat means the column shifter leaves room for a third front passenger, a work-truck touch carried into this mid-range trim.
