Three weeks ago, the Ram brand began putting out a call to Ram fans everywhere. Help was needed in Dresden, Ontario, to set the world record for the longest Ram Truck parade to date. True to form, Ram fans delivered, showing up in the kind of numbers that don’t just break records but show the world why Ram fans are some of the greatest around.
The goal from the beginning was to improve fuel efficiency without sacrificing capability. Thanks to the talented team of Ram engineers, the new 2013 Ram 1500 accomplishes exactly that, matching a best-in-class EPA-estimated 25 mpg with two other numbers Ram fans will love to hear: 305 horsepower and 269 lb.-ft. of torque.
Last week, a few of those talented engineers participated in a live chat with Ram fans who, among other things, asked in general how the increased fuel efficiency was achieved. The official transcript from that chat is located below. As for the new 2013 Ram 1500, it will soon be on its way to a dealership near you.
The day is quickly approaching when the new 2013 Ram 1500 will finally hit showroom floors. But until that day, Ram fans will have to be content feasting their eyes on videos like the one below, which highlights the capabilities of the truck’s advanced Uconnect system.

Although this story has more to do with the Ram Truck the writer longs to have rather than the vehicle he currently owns, we couldn’t help but feel it captures the right spirit. Here’s Aaron H. with fond memories of Rams gone by as well as a look ahead to the truck he and his son hope one day to purchase.
