2022 Ram 1500 fuel economy (EPA)
The EPA rates the 2022 Ram 1500 at 12–26 MPG combined; the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo (RWD) is the most efficient and the 6.2L 8-cylinder supercharged (4WD) the thirstiest. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.

Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.
2022 Ram 1500 wheels & tires
The spec sheet doesn't list tire sizes for this model year; here is what the owner's manual says.
- Cold tire pressure
- Not a single number: the owner's manual refers to the tire and loading placard, which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
- Spare
- Manual describes compact spare, non-matching full-size spare or tire service kit, depending on equipment. The compact and non-matching full-size spares have no pressure sensor.
- Lug nut torque
- 130 ft-lb (176 N·m), M14 x 1.50 thread, 22 mm socket
- Pressure monitor
- A tire pressure monitoring system warns when a tire is low.
Sizes and pressures vary by trim, wheel package and load: check the placard on your vehicle and the tire sidewall. Sizes from the manufacturer's specification sheet (2022 Ram 1500 Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.
2022 Ram 1500 maintenance schedule
The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.
A dot means the service is due at that mileage or after that many years, whichever comes first.
Additional Inspections
- Inspect the CV/Universal joints
- Inspect front suspension, tie rod ends, and replace if necessary
- Inspect the brake linings, replace as necessary
Additional Maintenance
- Replace cabin air filter
- For severe dusty driving conditions, inspect and replace the Evaporative System Fresh Air Filter as necessary; replacement may be more frequent depending on conditions

Salt, snow and hills: the data
Reading the 2022 1500 data for Great Lakes roads
From the Snowbelt east of Cleveland to the ridges of West Virginia and east Tennessee, this part of the country throws salt, snow and grade at every vehicle. Here is how the 2022 Ram 1500 specifications line up against all three.
Oil for a frozen-driveway start
Oil capacity is 5 qt (3.6L), 7 qt (5.7L) and 8.5 qt (3.0L turbo diesel), and the manual lists SAE 0W-20 (3.6L and 5.7L) and SAE 5W-40 (3.0L turbo diesel). Where more than one engine appears in the lineup, the engine code on the window sticker settles which grade applies. The wrong one in a West Virginia winter gives up a little protection on every cold start, and over years of driveway starts that adds up.
Battery checks before the cold
The spec sheet lists 730 to 800 cold-cranking amps. It is an AGM battery, so the replacement should be AGM as well. A 1500 left at a lake cottage or in a pole barn for weeks slowly drains its battery, and a cold snap then finds it with nothing to spare. A plug-in maintainer for stored vehicles is cheap insurance in the Great Lakes states.
Which wheels do the pulling
Factory drive configurations for 2022: rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The same trim name can come with more than one drive system, so on a used 1500 confirm it from the window sticker or a VIN decode rather than the badge. In west Michigan, where lake-effect bands can pile up several inches of snow in an hour, driving both axles is what gets a loaded vehicle up an icy driveway.
Towing to the lake
Peak trailer rating this year: 12,750 lb, for one configuration in the towing chart. On Appalachian grades the descent is the harder half of the trip: drop to a lower gear so the engine holds speed, and save the brakes for stopping. The I-24 grade at Monteagle in Tennessee and the long climbs on the West Virginia Turnpike both punish a heavy trailer. Frequent towing also calls for axle fluid and transfer case fluid service.
Coolant through freeze and climb
Fluids table: OAT coolant (10-year/150,000-mile formula), 13.7 qt (3.6L), 18.3 qt (5.7L) and 11.6 qt (3.0L turbo diesel). Scheduled replacement comes at 10 years or 150,000 miles. Stick to that chemistry, since mixing coolant types can shorten their protective life. On a used 1500 from West Virginia, ask whether the coolant was changed on time, and check the level in the overflow tank with the engine cold before you drive it.
Ground clearance, snowbelt to hills
The spec sheet puts ground clearance at 6.1 to 11.8 inches. Height matters for salt too: a low underbody pushes through slush and packs it around lines and heat shields, where it sits for days. After a slushy week in Huntington, a run through an underbody wash clears out what the clearance couldn't avoid.
Specifications are the manufacturer's; the weather and road context is ours. When a note here and the 2022 owner's manual disagree, follow the manual.
