The Ram 1500 4.7 V8 engine has 2 sparkplugs per cylinder. Does anyone Know the reason for that ? I think I have heard of airplane engines having two plugs for safety but I wonder the reason for this engine and the 5.7 Hemi too has the two plugs per cylinder. Just curious. David

Very nice, with that size engine and presumably low rear-end gearing you'll be able to tow a house. Don't forget to get some pics of your rig! |

I was getting my 2010 Liberty serviced, to pass the time I looked at the new vehicles. I looked at a Ram 1500 and the low sale price $18,000. I walked around and ended up going back to the Ram 1500 three times. When I got home did some research and found several postive reviews and the next day my wife and I ended up buying the Ram 1500. It is a basic tradesman regular cab. It has the 4.7 V8 with the cargo boxes on the sides of the 6.5 ft. bed. Manual windows, door locks, no cruise control, not even a remote control. Its a basic work truck with a class IV reciever hitch and factory wired with 4 pin and a 7 pin conectors. It has a 7,700 Lb. tow capacity and a six speed transmisson with electronic gear select. Never owned a pickup truck before it is definetly bigger than I am used to but surprisingly it easy to drive. The gas mileage isn't great but I don't drive that much averaging about 8,000 miles a year. Looking forward to towing the Rpod with it and hope to get the time soon to go camping. David and Danette
