Ram is out to make both Ford and General Motors sweat with the Dearborn automaker's newest pickup, the 2013 1500. Debuting at the 2012 New York Auto Show, the half-ton pickup bows with less weight, an efficient new 3.6-liter V6 option and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Chrysler projects the V6 alone should help yield 20 percent better fuel economy over the old 3.7 lump, thanks in part to a start/stop system. While there are no solid EPA numbers as of yet, our estimations put the vehicle at around 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. Throw in aerodynamic tweaks like an active shutter system that uses the standard air-ride suspension to lower the vehicle by as much as 1.2 inches for better efficiency, easier loading and load leveling and you have a force to be reckoned with.
The Pentastar churns out 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, besting the 3.7-liter V6 in the Ford F-150 by around three ponies. Chrysler has also increased the output of the optional 5.7-liter V8, from 390 hp to 395 and 407 lb-ft of torque. Engineers managed to free up the extra grunt by using an electronic power steering system in place of the old belt-driven unit. Interestingly enough, the V8 will also boast 20 percent better fuel economy thanks to an eight-speed automatic.
In addition, the new 1500 features a tweaked interior, complete with the company's excellent 8.4-inch UConnect touch screen interface. We love the system in vehicles like the Dodge Charger, and the tech should be right at home on the big pickup.
Chrysler also managed to trim a significant amount of weight from the 2013 Ram 1500. In V6 guise, the truck now uses aluminum control arms, an aluminum hood, a new bed and frame design as well as lighter bumpers for a combined weight savings of 173 pounds over the previous generation. V8 models get away with a more modest 97-pound trimming. Hit the jump for the full press release.Continue reading 2013 Ram 1500 ups the pickup ante with new V6, less weight 2013 Ram 1500 ups the pickup ante with new V6, less weight originally appeared on Autoblog on Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:55:00 EST.

Instructions

Before you start - Your wallpaper mural will come in panels. We recommend you lay out the panels on the floor in the proper order before you start to check for any defects. If you find any defects, please contact your supplier before installing. Since the placement of the first panel determines the overall look of the finished mural, take extra time to place it correctly. Installing the panels - Follow the manufacturers instructions on the order of the panel installation. Do not wait to long between installation of each panel or the panel designs will not line up correctly. The mural begins to dry and contract once on the wall, so be prepared to proceed with each panel until the job is done before taking a break. It is common for a wet mural to be 1/2 inch larger than a dry mural. Carefully remove excess paste from the front of the mural using a soft cloth. Too much rubbing or cleaning will remove the ink from the paper.
