Overview

The 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Regular Cab is a prominent contender in the fullsize pickup segment, competing primarily with the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Regular Cab, the 2010 Ford F-150 Regular Cab, and the 2010 Toyota Tundra Regular Cab. Prices start off at MSRP $20,610 with the base ST trim, and reach all the way to the top SLT trim carrying an MSRP of $28,725, for a total of 2 trims being offered. With multiple powertrain and cab options available across multiple trims, there is a Ram 1500 for everyone. The Ram 1500 Regular Cab offers 3 exciting powertrains, each offered as both a RWD and 4WD. The base engine is a 3.7L V6 mated to a 4-speed automatic, capable of making 215 horsepower and 235 lb-ft of torque. This engine is rated for a towing capacity of 9,100 pounds. Another engine is a larger 4.7L V8 affixed to a 5-speed automatic making 310 horsepower and carrying a towing capacity of 7,900 pounds. Furthermore, you get a choice between a 6.3 feet bed and an 8.1 feet bed. All in all, the Ram 1500 Regular Cab delivers an exciting package, both in terms of performance and looks.

Buying Advice

Coming with a V6 and a V8 under the hood, the 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Regular Cab is neither the best nor the worst pickup truck in the segment. Making considerably good power and providing exciting handling with the V8, with the best-in-class ride quality, the 2010 Ram 1500 Regular Cab is a fun-to-drive truck that will never let you feel bored. However, the exact scenario comes to play when the same truck is mechanized with the base V6 engine. The 2010 RAM 1500 Regular Cab comes with an exceptional tow rating, which gives tough competition to the market, and due to the spacious cabin, the overall experience just turns better. In a nutshell, the 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Regular Cab is although not the best, but definitely one of the best available choices in the market, especially when equipped with the V8s.

              2011 Dodge Ram 1500

              Pros - ["Comfortable", "Reliable drive", "Low maintenance"]

              Cons - ["No bluetooth", "Clicking sound", "Hard to find parking"]

              The Dodge Ram 1500 is an extremely reliable and safe vehicle. I have not had any issues since I bought it 4 years ago. The drive is smooth. It doesn't get the best gas milage, but it's a very comfortable car.
