A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy and macho exterior styling. ZACK SPENCER

Rounding up and riding the RAM range2014 RAM RoundupThe full-size truck market is big busi-ness for automakers and a big deal for the businesses and people who depend on them. For almost five decades the Ford F-150 has been the best selling truck, with lit-tle chance they will lose that crown in the near future. What has been happen-ing, over the last few years, is a strong shift from General Motors to RAM in terms of establishing the second best selling truck brand. The rise in RAM popularity can be traced back to a few key changes over the last several years, from muscular styling to class-leading interiors, a refined ride, plus engine and

transmission advancements. While GM was selling the same trucks year after year, RAM moved forward and has been rewarded handsomely. GM too has recently released all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks but the initial sales response has been rather lacklustre. I drove the 2014 RAM model range recently, on a beautiful fall day, just outside of Toronto. The “RAM Round-up” was a great opportunity to get my hands on these new trucks well before they arrive at BC dealerships.

Looks A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy

and macho exterior styl-ing. Front and centre is a grille that was enlarged, but better integrated, for the 2013 model year. Depending on the trim the grille finish can be chrome, painted or with a different insert. This feature is one RAM own-ers love so, in this case, larger is better. Behind the grille are “active shutters” that close at higher speeds to help send the wind around the vehicle to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The same idea was also behind the longer side step, which helps reduce buffeting down the side of the trucks. While RAM does not have the clever tailgate stepladder that Ford introduced several years ago, they did update the bed of this truck slightly. The sides of the bed can be equipped with an integrated RAMBox storage system. For 2013 this feature was integrated, along with the tailgate to lock and unlock with the vehicles key fob. This is especially handy for tradespeople that need to lock tools in their bed. One option that I find fascinating, and would seriously consider, is the $1500

air suspension that can be lowered for easier entry into the RAM or loading into the bed. Plus this system auto-matically lowers over 100km/h to also reduce aerodynamic drag. At lower speeds and for off-road duties, the air sus-pension can be raised for better ground clearance. Having had a chance to drive several RAM trucks with this feature I notice the already smooth ride is even better and the cabin is further insulated from vibration. The RAM heavy duty can also be equipped with an air suspension but this is

limited to the rear. This helps level the load in the bed for better handling and towing. Inside In the past trucks were typi-cally used for work. Today, trucks have grown in popularity because they can be rugged on a work site and luxurious for all occupants. Having driven the Ford and new GM trucks recently, I can easily say that RAM still has the lead in interior design and finish with the Chevrolet and GMC right behind.

‘‘It takes dynamite to get a loyal truck owner to change brands but RAM has done a good job of blasting the competition.’’Zack Spencer

RAM is rugged for work and luxurious for play

(Ford is looking dated but look for an all-new F-150 in 2015). The centre console can be equipped with an 8.3-inch Uconnect communications and entertainment screen. In addition, there is a large 7-inch screen behind the steering wheel for fully customiz-able instant information readouts. The dash and seats can be trimmed in leather typically found in luxury cars not long ago. What many RAM buyers might fi nd different is the rotary dial on the dash that changes the 8-speed automatic transmission, 6-speed automatics still get the centre console shifter. This is something that started recently in high-end cars like Jaguar and Range Rover but is now found in RAM. It takes about a day to adjust to the new shift position but after a while the driver forgets.

Drive The biggest change for 2014 includes the first diesel engine found in a light duty 1500 pickup truck. This is an Italian designed engine that has been used extensively in Europe in Jeep products like the Grand Chero-kee. With 420 lb.-ft. or torque, this new “EcoDiesel” has the same output as Ford’s Ecoboost but not the same towing capacity. Rated at 9200 lbs. this truck will be perfect for buyers

who want impressive fuel economy and good towing capacity; a bal-ance of usability and thriftiness. This engine has not been rated yet for fuel economy but thanks to a standard 8-speed automatic transmission; this new EcoDiesel is going to get better numbers than the already class-leading gasoline V6 RAM. Look for the new EcoDiesel RAMs arriving in Janu-ary of 2014. On the heavy duty side there is also an all-new engine in the form of a 6.4L Hemi V8. The old 5.7L was not a perfect match for gasoline truck buyers but RAM hopes this 429 lb.-ft. engine will attract more buyers.

VerdictAs competitive as the car business is, the truck side is nuclear. Truck buyers take their trucks very seriously and the people building them do too. It takes

dynamite to get a loyal truck owner to change brands but RAM has done a good job of blasting the competition. Most of this success has been thanks to constant improvements instead of waiting years to update their rigs. With a new diesel engine in the 1500 to an all-new gasoline engine in the heavy-duty trucks, matched to sophisticated transmissions, improved suspensions and cabins, it is no wonder why RAM is on an upward swing.

The Lowdown Power: 3.6L V6, 3.0L V6 turbo diesel, 5.7L V8. 6.4L V8 and 6.7L dieselPrice range: $19,995-$36,495 base prices. The diesel option adds around $4,500

Look for the new EcoDiesel RAMs arriving in January of 2014. ZACK SPENCER

I keep hearing TV F1 commentary teams talking about the perfect race in relation to the now four-time world cham-pion Sebastian Vettel.As I watched the German driver for Infiniti-Red Bull race team take the checkered flag in India on Sunday, the repeated reference to his perfect race reminded me of another open-wheel racer.Back in the early 1990s, Vancouver Indy racer Ross Bentley strived for what he called the ‘Perfect Drive’, not on the track but on the roads of B.C.Ross, now coaching race drivers and street drivers in Wash-ington state, always told me that he found the racetrack a safer place to drive. On the track he pretty much knew what other drivers were going to do, whereas drivers on the street were very unpredictable.And I was reminded of that the other morning when a young driver whizzed by me in the curb lane, then cut in front and crossed two more lanes to turn left at an intersec-tion just a block ahead. Of course, he didn’t signal when he got there either!Ross devised a little game that he played every day while travelling to and from work across town. The Perfect Drive Concept was designed to help drivers concentrate and I can’t help it would a great game for us all to play some 20 years on from when he first outlined the idea to me.“The idea is to drive smoothly at a constant speed with minimal braking,” explains Ross, who tells me he still tries to achieve the Perfect Drive daily.

“To do so, you must anticipate light changes and ease off when you approach a stale green. You have to slow in such a way that if your passengers had their eyes closed they wouldn’t be aware of the exact point you stopped.”Keeping a healthy distance between your car and the one you are following is key. Others do cut into the space but they disappear as fast as they arrive. And even if you ease off to open it up the gap again, Ross figured if even 10 cars did that to you and stayed during the average trip you might lose a minute in travel time.“The Perfect Drive can be ruined by others so I try to figure out what crazy things they might do and adjust accordingly. If I have to brake jerkily in anticipation of the other driver’s move, I don’t deduct any points!”However, if you hold up traffic or disrupt the flow then you deduct points. If you can let somebody in smoothly or provide an opportunity for somebody else to turn then you’re assisting the flow so he figured that was worth a few bonus points.”“The Perfect Drive can be different for everybody and you can work out your own scoring technique. I keep it simple and figure if I drop four points then that was nowhere near the Perfect Drive.I love his final comment: “Oh, and if you drop a point halfway through, you don’t give up and drive the rest of the way like a jerk.”Give it a try, it’s fun.

Shooting for the Perfect Drive

‘‘The Perfect Drive Concept was designed to help drivers concentrate.’’Keith Morgan Ross Bentley coaching upcoming young US racer Colin Braun.

More than 30 million Corollas had already been produced when an all-new a tenth-gen-eration 2009 Toyota Corolla hit the streets with a new body and chassis, increased interior space, more power and a revised suspension system. It isn’t about what a Corolla does, it’s about what a Co-rolla doesn’t do – stop work-ing. In fact, Corolla could be a substitute for the word ‘durable’ in the dictionary.While the competition has certainly made great strides to improved product quality, Corolla is still the benchmark

and consumer confidence in this compact car is reflected in used prices. Ironically, from a used car buyer perspective, it may also be its biggest drawback ... good luck with finding a good used Toyota Corolla at a bargain price.The 2009 Corolla came in CE, S, LE and XRS trim levels. The highline Corolla LE (origi-nally $21,495) added power windows and locks, climate control air conditioning, a 4-speed automatic transmis-sion, a wood-grain interior trim package, a push-button keyless start system and more.

Most Corolla models come with a 1.8-litre (132-horse-power) engine and the base versions came with a smooth-shifting five-speed manual with a light, easy to operate clutch. A four speed automatic was the optional transmission and fuel economy is excellent, with a 7.5/5.6 L/100 km city/highway rating. The sporty Corolla XRS (originally $21,925) offered a bigger engine, better brakes and tires plus other stuff. Powered by a 2.4-litre (158-horsepower) engine it came with 17-inch tires on

alloy wheels, electronic sta-bility control, traction control, rear disc brakes and a strut tower brace. It was also the only version with a 5-speed automatic option.On the inside, this Corolla is roomier than the previ-ous generation, with more shoulder room, legroom and trunk storage space. A tilt/telescoping steering column was standard on all trim levels and it came with two glove boxes, as seemingly past owners had complained about a lack of cabin storage space. Almost all Corolla models

come with the same safety features, which includes six airbags and the front seats come with active head restraints. An anti-lock brake system is also standard, but only the XRS trim has electronic stability control and traction control.Stability control was included as standard on S and LE trim levels and optional on CE, in 2010. In 2011, stability control was made a standard

feature on all Corolla trim levels. It also got a minor styl-ing revamp, which included new headlights, grille, front and rear bumpers, taillights and trunk lid. No significant changes in 2012, other than some re-packaging of options offered. The Toyota Corolla has a loyal consumer following who appreciate the finer virtue of this car – outstanding product quality. [email protected]

‘‘It isn’t about what a Corolla does, it’s about what a Corolla doesn’t do – stop working.’’Bob McHugh

Toyota Corolla The car that conquered the world

Women are a huge driving force (pardon the pun) in the car-buying world. Studies show that around 60 per cent of new vehicles purchases are made by women. While many hubbies would love a hot, little sports car, perhaps it’s not always ideal for, you know, life.Buying a vehicle is consid-ered to be the second big-gest purchase someone can make. The first is your home. So when someone says it’s not a big deal – it is.Not only is it a long-term decision, but a financially significant one as well. Leading up to the 2013 Van-couver International Auto Show, I had the privilege of assisting six women with their new car purchases. They gave me a budget and a list of “needs and wants” and then we went to the drawing board.Here are a few of the top things I observed.Price: Budgets are very important to everyone. And sticking to it was even more important for the women I worked with. Yes, there are always temptations to get a few extra bells and whistles, and if you can work it into your bottom line, that’s ideal. But the navigation package or premium sound system wasn’t a must-have.Warranties: Additional warranties were paramount. For those not leasing and swapping vehicles every four years, having the extra bit of protection from wear and tear was something they wanted to accommodate in their budgets, especially those who drive frequently. Safety: Looks are great but it is the safety features women are after. There’s a lot of technology out there. Sometimes it is even over-whelming. But things like airbags, ABS, traction control and even backup cameras (for the larger vehicles) were high on the priority list.Interior capacity/hatch: Cargo volume is subjec-tive in the sense where not everyone needs as much as the other. But when it was in the top three of “needs” sometimes thinking outside of the box was necessary. Sacrificing looks for func-tionality, again, is something that often happens. That said, it is not always the

case, and with designs of vehicles these days.Comfort in the car buy-ing process: The dealership experience plays a huge role in having that brand new

vehicle sparkling on your driveway. In fact, you can’t really avoid it unless you’re buying through a private sale. There’s still a stigma associ-

ated with car salespeople. Some say that as a woman, walking into a dealership has an automatic disadvan-tage. That’s changing. Most dealerships have female

sales staff on the floor in case you’re more comfort-able in that environment. No matter how good the product, if there’s discomfort or pressure in the buying

process, can sour the sale. If that’s the case, there are always other options.The product is the same regardless of where you buy it from, it’s really the human

element that can make or break the deal. Though, the women I worked with all had wonderful experiences. [email protected]
