Matt Blatt Mitsubishi – Used RAM trucks and vans for real life around Sewell, NJ
Looking for a straightforward guide to buying a used RAM that fits real life in Gloucester County? Let’s zero in on the two areas most shoppers care about first — towing/payload and everyday usability — so you can choose with confidence and skip the guesswork.
Start with your needs, not the badge. RAM has options for just about every job: light-duty RAM 1500 for all-around versatility, heavy-duty RAM 2500/3500 for serious towing and payload, and RAM ProMaster vans for trades and delivery. From there, focus on the details that actually determine how the vehicle will perform in your world — engine choice, axle ratio, suspension, braking, and the trailering equipment onboard.
Here’s a simple way to frame the conversation as you shop online:
- Engine choice: Many RAM 1500 trucks feature the 3.6L Pentastar V6 with eTorque for balanced performance and efficiency, or the 5.7L HEMI V8 (often with eTorque) for confident towing and acceleration. Heavy-duty RAMs commonly bring the 6.4L HEMI V8 or 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 for larger trailers and payloads.
- Axle ratio: A numerically higher ratio (such as 3.73 or 4.10 when equipped) generally favors low-speed pulling power and towing response; lower ratios may prioritize quieter highway cruising and efficiency.
- Suspension: Many RAM 1500 models use a rear coil-spring setup that smooths broken pavement on routes like Delsea Drive, and some offer Active-Level Four Corner Air Suspension that can automatically level loads and lower for easier hitching.
- Braking and control: Look for Tow/Haul mode, an integrated Trailer Brake Controller, and Trailer Sway Control — features that help maintain stability on grades and during crosswinds along Route 55.
- Hitch setup: Factory Class IV hardware, 4- and 7-pin wiring, and a receiver matched to your trailer’s tongue weight simplify setup and improve safety.
- Mirrors and visibility: Available tow mirrors with spotter sections, ParkView Rear Back Up Camera, and (on many models) a Surround View Camera make hitching and parking in tight lots around Cross Keys Road less stressful.
Next, think about daily life, not just weekend projects. Many RAM trucks include Uconnect with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to keep commutes to job sites or school drop-offs simple. If you’re organizing tools or tailgate gear, the RamBox Cargo Management System (available on many RAM 1500 configurations) provides lockable, drainable bedside storage that frees up bed space. Inside, wide, supportive seats and abundant rear legroom help drivers who spend hours between Sewell, NJ and the Shore stay comfortable. And if you regularly carry a mix of passengers and materials, fold-up rear seats, under-seat bins, and flat-load floors turn the cab into a flexible cargo area.
Buying from home should be as easy as starting your truck. Here’s a streamlined path we recommend for online shoppers:
- Filter for cab, bed, engine, and drivetrain to narrow to the right configuration.
- Open the free CARFAX report to review maintenance history and prior ownership.
- Use 24/7 chat to ask about gear ratios, trailering packages, or service records.
- Request a live video walkaround to see the bed, undercarriage, and hitch hardware up close.
- Apply for financing — our broad lender network works with a wide range of credit profiles.
- Complete your paperwork online and arrange delivery or quick pickup.
- Drive with confidence backed by our 4-Day Love It or Leave It Return Policy.
How much capability do you actually need? For many South Jersey drivers, a RAM 1500 with the 5.7L HEMI V8 or a properly equipped Pentastar V6 with eTorque is more than enough for a boat, small camper, or landscaping trailer. If you’re pulling heavier equipment regularly — think skid steers, enclosed multi-axle trailers, or a large camper — then a RAM 2500/3500 with the 6.4L HEMI or 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 may be the smarter long-term choice. The key is aligning engine, axle ratio, suspension, and braking features with the real weight you plan to move.
And don’t overlook comfort and tech. If your truck doubles as your office, features like Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, heated seats, and a larger Uconnect touchscreen can make long days easier. ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection, and LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist are widely available on many models and add extra assurance on crowded job sites and busy shopping centers.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I verify the towing capability of a specific used RAM?
Start with the vehicle’s door jamb sticker for GVWR/GAWR, then review the engine, axle ratio, and equipment list for Tow/Haul mode and an integrated Trailer Brake Controller. Ask us to confirm build details and provide a towing guide reference so you can match your trailer’s weight with confidence.
Is the 3.6L Pentastar V6 strong enough for towing?
For many daily needs — small boats, single-axle utility trailers, and light campers — the Pentastar V6, especially with eTorque, delivers solid pulling power and smooth drivability. If you plan to tow heavier, more frequently, consider a 5.7L HEMI V8 or a heavy-duty RAM.
What is eTorque, and does it help in real life?
eTorque is a mild-hybrid system that provides a brief assist at low rpm, improves stop-start smoothness, and can enhance efficiency. In practice, it helps your truck feel more responsive off the line and during low-speed maneuvers with a trailer.
Should I choose gas or diesel for a used RAM?
Diesel engines, like the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 or 3.0L EcoDiesel V6, shine for frequent heavy towing and long highway miles. Gas engines, such as the 5.7L HEMI V8, are excellent for mixed use, shorter trips, and lower upfront maintenance complexity.
Are RAM interiors comfortable for long commutes?
Yes. Many models include wide, supportive seats, excellent noise insulation, and Uconnect infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Larger cabs offer generous rear legroom that keeps crew members or family comfortable across town or down the Shore.
