The trucks featured a large, prominent grille with a bold crosshair design, a rounded hood, and squared-off wheel arches. The cabin also saw a redesign, incorporating a more modern and spacious interior with improved ergonomics. The Ram 1500, built on a 130.3-inch wheelbase, aimed for passenger car-like handling and comfort, making it a popular choice for families and individuals who required a capable truck for daily driving. The Ram 2500 and 3500, built on a 139.5-inch wheelbase, were designed for heavy-duty work, offering powerful engines and robust suspension systems to handle challenging loads and towing applications.

Under the hood, the Ram lineup offered a diverse range of engine options. The 1500 came with the popular 3.9-liter V6, the 5.2-liter Magnum V8, and the 5.9-liter Magnum V8. The 2500 and 3500 provided additional choices, including the powerful 5.9-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 and the 8.0-liter Magnum V8. These engines were paired with a variety of transmissions, including the four-speed automatic and the five-speed automatic, depending on the model and trim level. The second generation Dodge Ram trucks were equipped with a variety of safety features for their time, including dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes, and optional side airbags. They also featured a robust chassis and suspension system designed to handle heavy loads and towing applications. Known for their durability, reliability, and exceptional towing capacity, this generation of Ram trucks solidified Dodge's position as a dominant force in the full-size pickup market.
