PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

Fuel-saving technology and aerodynamics

  • The 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 equipped with the HEMI V-8 engine features the first-ever cylinder-deactivation system – Multi-displacement System – on a pickup truck, providing up to 20 percent in fuel economy savings
  • Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 models are equipped with a front-axle-disconnect system, designed to disengage the front-axle drive shaft when operating in two-wheel drive. This minimizes the front-drive system’s energy consumption and improves fuel economy.
  • The 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 also features reduce-drag brake calipers and a rear spoiler to improve vehicle aerodynamics

Superior ride and handling

  • The 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 uses a coil-over shock absorber and double-wishbone front suspension. Shock absorbers are mounted inside the coil spring, enabling four-wheel-drive models to benefit from the coil spring’s added tuning characteristics.
  • Dodge Ram 1500 features monotube shock absorbers, precisely tuned springs, jounce bumpers and suspension bushings – subtle details that perfect the vehicle’s driving dynamics

Quiet cabin

  • Body mounts on the 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 serve to isolate the passenger compartment from vibrations that reach the frame
  • Thick front-door glass, robust door seals and extensive use of Polymer Constraint Layer reduce road noise and resonance between the engine and cabin
