There’s a lot of competition surrounding full-size pickups, so it’s mightily impressive that the Ram 1500 stands out from the crowd. Truck-lovers everywhere consider the 2021 Ram 1500 to be one of the best trucks on the market, and for good reason. It has several features that make it more impressive than many other trucks in its class.

1. Amazing Handling

The Ram 1500 has impeccable handling. It feels nothing like a large pickup truck when you’re behind the wheel. Instead, you feel like you’re driving a much lighter truck. Its driving dynamics are ultra-sharp, and it’s more agile than you’d expect, too. You can easily get around tight corners and navigate crowded roads.

The ride comfort is also worth mentioning. The wheels soak up the road’s imperfections, and you feel like you’re on a silky-smooth road even if you’re on a torn-up path. This is excellent for people who dislike the feeling of harsh roads, and it’s beneficial for passengers who suffer from travel sickness.

2. RamBox Cargo Management System

The RamBox Cargo Management System is exclusive to the Ram 1500, so it helps the truck stand out. This feature helps you with transporting items, and it helps you keep valuable cargo safe. There are lockable bins in the truck bed that are large enough to fit most tools and similar items. You can keep your cargo safe from thieves, and you can separate different types of cargo from each other.

The bins are insulated, so you can use them to store ice and food, too. They keep everything nice and cool. This is perfect for tailgating. We feel that this feature is truly a head-turner, as we’ve never seen anything like it in competitor models.

3. Lots of Safety Features Available

The Ram 1500 now has pedestrian detection, which is fantastic if you live in a crowded area. Sometimes it feels like pedestrians can come out of nowhere, so the detection will be helpful for most drivers.

The rearview mirror’s new digital upgrade is one of the best safety features available in any truck. This lets you monitor the area behind you via a live, real-time video feed on your rearview mirror. The rearview camera reduces the number of blind spots that you’re dealing with.

4. Head-Up Display

Your dashboard and infotainment system both contain important information, but it’s not always safe to look at the screens. Roads get busy, so you need to keep your eyes front and center. The Head-Up display can help with this. The display projects important vehicle information right onto your windshield. You can keep your eyes on the road, but you can still monitor your vehicle’s stats.

The display doesn’t obscure your view of the road by any means, so you get the best of both worlds. This will add some safety to your journeys, and it’s more convenient than looking back and forth between the road, the screens, and your mirrors.
