reducing weight helps improve fuel
efficiency: where heavy steel isn’t
needed, 2014 ram 1500 employs
down-gauged but stronger steel.
the results give you a full-size
tough pickup with weight savings
that help contribute to the fuel-
sipping performance. the 4- and 7-pin trailer tow
connectors are part of the
trademark towing capability of
ram 1500—and they’re standard
on every model. the structural rear bumper is
rated for class iii towing and
easily handles trailers up to 5,000 lb
when properly equipped. For tougher
trailer towing capability, the
available class iV hitch receiver
bolts directly to the frame of your
ram 1500. By design, the frame is low-torsion
and features fully boxed side
rails—engineering that strengthens
the ram 1500 reputation for
minimal noise, vibration and
harshness (nVh). available and class-exclusive

active Grille Shutters instantly
adapt to speed, load and engine
needs for cooling; the shutters
significantly reduce aerodynamic
drag to help improve fuel efficiency
for ram 1500 models.
the front frame unit is constructed
of hydroformed tubular high-
strength steel; this ultra-stiff yet
light component further reduces the
overall weight for ram 1500—
another very real contribution to its
notably fuel-efficient operation.

In a world as bustling and busy as yours, getting away from the rattling of jackhammers
and drone of the dozers is priceless; that’s why the 2014 Ram 1500 is built to be
quiet. Extensive testing helps reduce NVh to minimal levels, leaving only silence and
comfort. Leave it to the engineers of Ram 1500 to give you both peace of mind and
some peace and quiet.
Little measures that count big:
Variable Displacement A/C Compressor (VDC).
No longer a “fixed” displacement, the VDC automatically varies pumping capacity of
the air conditioning compressor, lessening the load on the engine and reducing NVh
and parasitic losses to help improve fuel efficiency.
New Pulse-Width Modulation Fan.
This new blower design creates virtually infinite amounts of fan speed for the hVAC
System, and with reduced sound levels that make operation all but unnoticeable;
interior quietness in Ram 1500 is better than ever.
New Humidity Sensor.
Formerly reserved for premium models, and now in every Ram 1500: the sensor acts to
defog windows much more rapidly and works in tandem with the VDC and pulse-width
modulation fan for optimal performance.
It COULd be aRgUed that even OUR
ReLIabILItY LeadS the CLaSS.
Design, engineering, components, build quality: add it all up, and the sum is
greater than the parts—leaving you with a pickup that offers impressive residual
and resale values. The numbers are conclusive, with endorsements and honors
that include some 34 awards for Ram in 18 months—ample proof that all the effort
we put into Ram 1500 pickups lets you get the most out of yours when it’s time to
upgrade the ride.

New for 2014 Ram 1500: technology that simplifies parking and maneuvering. The
new available Front Park Ultrasonic Assist System is a first-time-ever for a full-size
Ram 1500 pickup, serving as convenient aid when parallel parking. Four integrated
sensors use ultrasonic waves to detect objects as far as 47.2 inches away from the
front bumper, picking up the echo of a signal when it bounces off an object. Using
classic echo triangulation, the system determines relative distance. Readouts located
in the cluster display team up with audible chimes to notify the driver of any proximity
to front and/or rear objects.

SYStem.
In Ram 1500, ride manners and towing control combine with safety and security. Some
features of the comprehensive ESC, standard on every model, include:
AntiLock Brake System (ABS)
. Monitoring each wheel’s speed, ABS allows back-up
braking should one of the two braking circuits be compromised.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution regulates brake pressure from front to rear,
minimizing stopping distances.
Traction Control regulates wheel spin. Slippage during acceleration results in throttle
control to reduce torque; in extremes (e.g., when accelerating from pavement to ice)
it will apply certain brakes to maintain control. It can be turned off with a console-
mounted button.
Ready Alert Braking senses when the driver’s foot is lifted from the accelerator, and
applies an imperceptible brake force to ensure that pads and discs are lined up should
an emergency stop be required.
Rain Brake Support . Activate the windshield wipers, and the brake calipers pulse
against the rotor, removing water from the pads.
Hydraulic Boost Compensation . Should a failure occur in the vacuum brake booster or
any related line (e.g., a rupture from tough off-roading), the brake controller will run
the ABS pump; brakes will perform as normal until the failure is serviced.
Trailer Sway Control
[6]
detects yaw and applies selective brake pressure on the tow
vehicle’s opposite side to counteract and reduce the sway.
Hill Start Assist . While on hills or inclines, the system keeps your Ram 1500 stationary
for two seconds after the brakes have been released.
