Road Test: 2018 Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab
The Ram 1500 is relatively unchanged for 2018 as it prepares to make way for the all-new 2019 version. A couple of new trim levels were added, the 3.0L EcoDiesel engine option saw expanded capability and the infotainment system offers new functionality.

Few people would say that Los Angeles is not the epicentre of vehicle customization, and every year during the L.A. International Auto Show, SoCal’s newest and hottest customs strut their stuff in the basement of the Convention Centre, underneath all the new cars on the main floor above. Trucks were especially prevalent at the latest L.A. show a few months ago, and we thought it wasn’t too late to post a few photos we took there of the custom trucks and off-roaders that caught our eye.
