If you think the weather’s been unreasonably hot recently,
you’re not alone. In fact, the whole planet is feeling the heat, all thanks to
global warming--which is directly linked to excessive carbon emissions in the
atmosphere. Unfortunately, vehicles are one of the biggest contributors to the
problem. For instance, burning just one gallon of gas creates 20 pounds of
carbon dioxide. And the bigger the gar, the more fuel it needs to run, and the
more carbon emissions it produces.
As a result, trucks often get a bad rap for being gas
guzzlers. But contrary to popular belief, not all trucks are carbon emission
machines. Just take a look at the 2016 Ram 1500, the latest iteration of this
best-selling truck line. As you’ll see below, it has many important features
that make it an eco-friendly option:
Exceptional
Mile-Per-Gallon Rating
Believe it or not, the Ram 1500 offers the best fuel
efficiency of any full-sized pickup in the market. Specifically, you can get 25
miles-per-gallon while driving on highways, giving you a lot of bang for your
buck. Just to compare, the average mid-size sedan will give you anywhere from
25-32 miles-per-gallon, which further highlights the fuel efficiency of this truck.
50-State EPA Rating
As the heading suggests, the Ram 1500 also complies with
both U.S. EPA and California standards for emission and safety. In other words,
the truck can be bought and registered from any of the 50 states with full
confidence that it meets all the emission standards possible.
Of course, excellent fuel efficiency does not mean that this
truck skimps on power. For instance, it can tow up to 10,650 lbs. of cargo,
making it ideal for an assortment of hauling jobs. Likewise, this truck can
also carry a maximum payload of 1,880 lbs.
