Ram 1500 Earns 4-Star Safety Rating from NHTSA
When it comes to safety, Ram doesn’t mess around. That’s why it comes as no surprise that the American truckmaker’s most popular pickup—the 2016 Ram 1500—earned a four star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The Ram 1500 earned the highest rating of five stars on the NHTSA’s side-impact crash testing, while earning four out of five stars in the frontal crash test and rollover test. It has a long list of standard safety features, including Advanced Multistage Front Airbags, Electronic Stability Control, an optional rear back-up camera, and speed control.
It also has four-wheel antilock disc brakes, hill-start assist, trailer-sway control, and an available fully integrated trailer-brake controller. Add these standard safety features with those that come standard with the Uconnect infotainment system, and you have one pickup truck that is sure to keep you safe.
